TWICE SAVED.
IT wni a cold day la February anil I
wag only half way from Leadvllle to
my place of destination. Night was
fust drawing on and my home wrs very
tired.
I wrapped my blanket yet closer about
my shoulders and urged my steed for
ward through the gloaming.
" Curse my luok I" I muttered. " Kx
cept for lUack Dan's threat I would
have gone by the stage In comfort. And
yet, to have braved his gang would have
been certain destruction t I'll warrant
they've ambushed the night coach, In
tending to catch me. 3Jut I've slipped
them this time, and Uncle Bam has tho
proof that she wants at Inst. Three days
more, my rascals, and you'll jump these
mountains or wear handcuffs, If I reach
Pueblo alive 1"
I shook Charlie's reins to hasten his
speed, and whUtled cheerily to Don, my
great Bt. Bernard.
" We must reach Johnson's ranch on
the Platte, old friends, or sleep out, and
Its too cold for that," I muttered.
I was returning from a search for cer
tain desperadoes wanted In tho courts at
Pueblo. The cutthroats had hidden In
the mining camps about Leadvllle, and
my search bad been a long one. Find
ing them at last, however, and the proof
of their crimes with them, I was about to
return and make arrangements for their
arrest, when by some unknown means
they learned who I was, and I fled. Fled
pursued by the wrath of the worst raau
between tho Gunnison and Denver
Black Dan. Had he found me, my life
would not have been worth the toss of a
card. I must reach the settlements
quickly and return with a force In or
der to capture my game, and that with
out delay.
In gloaming of the morning I had be
gun my perilous hoiseback journey ;
In the gloaming of the evening I was
continuing it. No soul had met me
along the the wagon trail, and I be
lieved that I had really tricked my ene
mies. The blackness of the canyon crept up,
the narrow trail ran down, and among
great masses of bowlders, across patches
of snow, and again along the bare earth
I followed with watchful eye the Indis
tinct path until, just at the verge of the
last steep descent that should carry me
into the river gulch Itself, I halted for a
moment to reBt my weary horse.
" Only a little further, Charlie," said
I, dismounting aud patting his droop
ing head ; " a couple of miles more,
and we will strike supper aud a bed.
You have done well, old boy, and saved
me "
A sudden fierce growl from my dog as
he sprung toward the shadow of the
pines behind me, a single lance of light,
a ringing report, and, without a moan,
I threw my hands quivering into the
air, whirled heavily away from my
horse, and fell. Black Dan had found
me 1
Slowly, and with great pain, con
sciousness returned consciousness, for
my brain was still alive, but not person
ality, for of my body I knew nothing.
What had happpened V
Laboriously my mind traveled
through the mists of death that still
surrounded it. Slowly one idea follow
ed another until at last came the knowl
edge that I sought. I had been waylaid
and Bhot.
Yes, I remembered now I Remem
bered the cry of my dog, the ring of a
rifle, the sheet of flame, the blow of the
ball, and then nothingness! .
I had been shot and was dead 1
And yet not dead for pain revived,
and dead men feel no pain. I was shot
but not dead. And so came at last
the consciousness of matter. I still
lived.
I sought to rise, but could not, for I
was bound ; bound hand and feet, arms
and legs, body, neck and head, fingers,
lips and eyelids, even ; bound, yet not
with cords I
Where was I V Aud what was the
trouble I
Nearer and still nearer came the truth
as I groaned In spirit and struggled to
gain knowledge of myself ; nearer and
still nearer, until, with a mighty effort,
throwing off all lethargy, I made one
desperate attempt to rise; then the odor
of new-broken earth filled my nostrils,
the weight of newly-turned earth press
ed upon my heart, the clinging bonds
of newly-dug earth bound me, and with
a wild cry of horror and despair I rec
ognized my situation I was hurled
alive
I 'did not faint at first life was too
dear-rbut lay simply deadened, crushed
by the blow, the loose mold admitting
air for respiration, my poor stunned
brain rolling these words up and down :
" Buried alivel Burled alive I" until
from shere madness and loss of ' desire
knowledge fled a second time.
And then it wag the tongue of my dog
which awakened me. Don dug me out
and lapped me back to life agatu.
As the dull grey of the winter's
morning dawned, with moans I dragged
mystlfTened limbs from (heir narrow
bed, and crept tremblingly down the
little trnll toward the river the blood
ooalng from the rllle wounds In my
head, my eyes wild and fierce, my heart
panting, my life half gone.
As I thought Black Dan must have
followed and ambushed me, then, sup.
posing me slain, he had the grace to
seek to bury m, It was owing to his
haste or his carelessness that my dog
had been able to paw the loose dirt from
my grave and save me.. If I could
reach Johnson's I might live; If not, I
had been saved but to die a second time,
for a fierce storm was brewing along the
mountain tops above my head. My
horse was gone, my rifle, pistols and
knife, gone; only the dog remained,
and, faithful to the last, followed as I
slowly and painfully trod the descend
lng trail toward the river.
Huddenly, amid a wild roar of wind
and creaking of trees and whirl of
freeing snow, the storm burst, and In
Its fury swept me from my feet, and
rolled me, crying and shouting, far
down the canyon side, until a great
uowiuer oiuigni anu ueiu me. Tiien it
raged on.
Fierce and relentless the wild wind
tore through the wilder forest, pitiless
and cold the snow fell, and except I had
dragged my broken, bruised body Into a
crevasse of the rock-ledge before me I
had died where I laid. Then even
blacker then ever fell the storm, and
raged unceasingly through all the slow
hours of the day, until night came a
second time to cast its pall upon the
scene. And as the darkness crept up
from the east, my last friend, my dog,
who all day had laid at my feet, deserted
me, speeding away through the shadows
aud snow. I was alone. -
And so, faint, wounded, cold, despair
lng, as the moments grew life flickered,
and when at last midnight broke, my
lamp went out. Again I lay uncon
scious. All night the gale continued, and not
until dawn of the second day did It
cease, when the newly-fallen snow lay
deep and white over all
Within the crevasse of the rock, shel
tered from the touch of the cold white
death and yet beneath it, I lay motion
less ; above me the storm had spread a
shroud so thick that no ray of light
penetrated to my tomb. Half-frozen, In
a dreamless, painless sleep, the forerun,
ner of a swlft-comlng rest, a mere wreck
of a man, I was stretched upon a rock,
and the glint of the sunshine among
the pines or the tread of the wild beasts
of the forest overhead mattered naught
to me. When my eyes opened they be
held nothing, when my hands were out
stretched they touched only the stone
and the snow, when my tongue cried
out no ear listened. Again I was in.
tombed, and this time by an enemy
moro relentless than Black Dan even,
by hands more stern and pitiless than
his. Fate and the storms of the moun
tain had combined against me. I was
burled a second time, but now with
death for a companion 1
I knew that I could not escape, and
the very thought quieted me.
There was no struggle, no moaning,
no agony ; only a dull recklessness and
want of care for life that betokened the
depth of my despair. I was dying.
Slowly the moments passed. My
thoughts were few and simple thoughts
of fire and wood, thoughts of home
and friends and comfort, thoughts of
things warm and bright, but even these
were fading and my mind was wearily
wrapping itself In the cloak of annihila
tion, and my body was fast sinking to.
ward inanition when a bit of snow fell
upon my upturned face.
Had it been fire it could not have
aroused me more quickly.
The next instant more fell, and still
more, and then light began to gleam,
and I heard the hurrying scrape of feet
mingled with low whining.
Don had returned and was digging
me out.
The revulsion of feeling was terrific ;
a moment before I had laid passive in a
tomb, longing for death ; now I fought
and tore at the loosening snow like a
madman, wild with the thought of
life.
Nearer and nearer came the rescuing
feet, deeper grew the pile of snow be
neath me, brighter the light above. The
whining was mingled with growls dovv.
Don had friends to aid him. The bar
rier was but three feet thick two one,
It was gone I and, even as I breathed
the free air of heaven and my heart leap
ed within me and my lips uttered a glad
cry, a dozen pairs of great hollow eyes
gazed into mine, a dozen gaunt forms
crouched before me gnashing their
gleaming fangs I had been rescued by a
pack of wolves.
For a single Instant I surveyed my
enemies, I weak, wounded and unarm
ed ; they strong, hungry and ferocious,
a dozen to one, and then with a yell I
sprang Into their midst.
It was the act of a madman, but I was
mad. Death should tear me limb from
limb now.and with bare hands I clutch,
ed at the first gray monster before me
and grasped his shaggy throat as with
hands of steel, seeking to throttle him.
Then the entire pack with demoniacal
howls hurled themselves upon rue,
The struggle was short. I felt the hot
breath of the brutes In my face, their
red mouths yawned upon me; their
strong claws tore my buckskin shirt;
their teeth snapped, when suddenly a
great white something was hurled from
the back of the snow Above Into the
midst of the melee. A half-dozen dark
forms followed. Wild shouts, mingled
with pistol shots and the heavy blows,
broke upon my ears, the red blood of
my assailants dyed the spotless snow ;
their hideous eyes faded from before me
and falling backward, I felt myself
caught by strong arms, and the well
known voice of old Johnson cried,
"Saved, thank Clod I
Aye, saved I and this time for life.
My trusty dog had found the ranoh, and
arousing the men by his strange actions
they followed him in the early morning
to where I was hidden, arriving at the
spot Just iu the supreme moment of
need. I was saved, and five days later
confronted Black Dan before the bar of
the criminal court In Pueblo, and had
the satisfaction of hearing sentence pass,
ed upon him, while he trembled as he
stared at the man whom he had burled
among the peaks of the llockys.
Neither duty nor pleasure will ever
again call me along the canyon of the
Platte.
A Romantic Episode In the Life of Welling
ton. W1IOKVKH should endeavor to ex.
hlblt " the Iron Duke" as the
hero of a romantic love story, In which
sentiment is blended with chivalry,
would probably be laughed at. Yet
there really is such an Incident, true in
all particulars, and Imbued with the del.
lcacy aud refinement of Impassioned af
fection. At the risk of having this lit
tle love-passage ridiculed, we shall take
leave to relate it.
At the age of twenty-eight, Arthur
Welleslcy, (or Wenley, as he wrote It at
the time, according to an autograph In
our little collection,) went to India with
the rank of full Colonel, obtained simply
by the Influence of his arlstocratlcal
birth and connections, and by money in
the tenth year of his military Bet vice.
At that time he was engaged to Cather
ine Pakenham, daughter of the Earl of
Longford, and sister of Gen. Sir Edward
MlchaeJ Pakenham, who was killed In
the battle of New Orleans. The lady
who was young and beautiful, was de
votedly attached to Colonel Wellesley,
and her affection was fully reciprocated.
Called to India, where his elder brother
was Governor-General, to take a leading
part In the war with Tlppo Salb, this
fortunate soldier had to leave his
lady-love behind. After an absence of
eight years, during which he won rank
and renown, he returned to England,
where he was met by a letter from Miss
Pakenham, informing him that the
small pox had asBalledand Injured the
beauty which he so much admlred,when
life was younger and gayer with both of
them, and with tender sadness assuring
him that she had resolved to relieve him
from hla engagement. With the true
feeling of an honorable mind, he assur
ed her that her beauty had not been the
only inducement to woo and win her,
and that he was desirous of marrying
her. Accordingly, the marriage took
place, In 1806, within six months of his
return from India. The only fruits of the
union were two sons, one born In 1807,
and the other In 1809.
In the spring of the latter year, Wel
lesley had to leave his wife to take part
in the Peninsular war. He returned for
a short time, after the signing of the
Convention of Clntra, but from 1809
until 1814, during which he rose step by
step, to the highest honors of the En
glish peerage, he was detained on the
Peninsula. The strong tie of married
love weakened by this prolonged absence
and the Duchess of Wellington, from
the Waterloo victory of 1816 to her
death In 1831, was not a happy wife.
To the last she deplored that a sense of
honor had made the Duke marry her,
against her own better Judgment when
her beauty had become a thing of mem
ory alone.
A Leap-Year Incident.
A young lady bad been spending the
day with a bachelor minister and his
sister. The young lady, whose name
was Miss Hope, had been much gratified
with the kindly treatment received at
the manse, and on leaving expressed
her thanks for the kindness of the minis
ter, making at the same time the remark
that she had not yet heard him in the
pulpit; but, she continued, "I will be
over on Sabbath to hear you."
" I shall be very glad to see you, Miss
Hope, and under the interesting eircu in
stances, you might suggest a text for
the occasion, and I will do all the justice
to it I can."
" I will be glad to do that, sir," re
plied the lady. "How would this oue
do ' Lay hold upon the Hope set before
you I""
SUNDAY HEADING ;
Incidents In the Passion Play.
Late English papers have long ac
counts of the recent performance aty
Oberamergau and It is agreed that the
simple villagers aoqultted themselves af.
ter a manner which deserves the high
est praise, Every scriptural detail was
carried out to the letter, and even In the
Crucifixion scene one could not have
told positively with the aid of a strong
glass, that nails had not been driven
through hands and feet. When the
thrust of the centurion's spear produced
a crimson statu over the heart of the
Christ " a distinctly audible expression
of almost terrified surprise ran through
the vast assemblage." The mien of
PoutluB rilate was beyond all praUe. A
wood-carver took the part and acted it
better than any other part in the play
wan acted. He is a man " of tuch fine
physique and lofty hearing that he could
easily pass for a noble Itoiuan anywhere
without assuming the gorgeous corslet
and glittering diadem of a pro-consul."
After the part of Pilate the best acted
was that of Judas. " The scowls, the
visible avarice, the shoulder Jnrklngs,
the (Healthiness and the suspicious face
of this character, were," says the Time
" truly admirable, and his haggling for
an Increase of the bribe ofTered him
could scarcely have been better done
even by Hhylock." Several famous
paintings served as the originals of cer
tain scenes. That of the Last Supper
was an almost perfect living copy of
Leonardo's great work. The Christ
bearing the cross was after Paolo Vero
nese ; the Descent was after Ilubens and
the Entombment after Raphael.
Doe the World Miss Anyone V
Not long. The best aud most useful
of us will soon be forgotten. Those who
to-day are filling a large place In the
world's regard will pass away from the
remembrance of men In a month, or at
the farthest In a few years, after the
grave has closed upon their remains.
We are shedding tears above a new made
grave and wildly crying out In our grief
that our loss is Irreparable. Yet In a
short time the tendrils of love have en
twined around other supports, and we
no longer miss the one who Js gone.
So passes the world. But there are those
to whom a loss Is beyond repair. There
are men from whose memories no wo
man's smile can chase recollections of
the sweet face that has given up all Its
beauty at Death's Icy touch. There are
women whose plighted faith extends
beyond the grave and drives away as pro.
fane those who would entice them from
a worship of their buried loves. Such
loyalty, however, Is hidden away from
public gaze. The world sweeps on beside
and around them and cares not to look
upon this unobtruding grief. It carves
a line and rears a stone over the dead,
and hastens away to offer homage to the
living.
Words of Wisdom.
Very few diseases are so mortal as the
fear of death.
All human virtues strengthen and in
crease by the experience of them.
The man who studies to be revenged
only manages to keep bis own wounds
green.
Itelatlons always take the greatest lib
ertles, and frequently give the least as
sistance. If man desires many things he Is ex
alted by hope, but if he fears many
things he becomes a slave.
A man can profess more religion in
fifty minutes than he can practice by
working hard for fifty years.
Be Tidy.
" Now, my son," said a kind mother
to her little boy, " be tidy, fold op your
nightgown again I munt have it done
neatly."
That boy has grown up to be a man.
A friend said to him one day.
"How Is it you get through so much
work as you do 5"'
" Metbod, Method," was the reply.
" I am now reaping the fruits of my
mother's lesson' Be Tidy I"
t2T The vine twig shows not more
Ingenuity as it traverses some rocky
crag in search of the cool stream, at

fate, and the irresistible stroke of fortune.
CiT "Think twice before yoa speak

some people ; but there are folks who
can think of so much meaner things to
