"I m tlunkm ez how ye 11 need sutlim hot agin ye git down yonder," she said to Darcy, and took down a brown bottle from tho hanging cupboard, loosening the cork as sho handed it to him. He accepted the bottle from her hand, smiling into her glowing face as their fingers met, and replaced it upon the tlielf from which she had taken it. None to-night, Jhank jpu.". ho said, meaningly. "My heart is too warm as it is. Perhaps you know what hand lias already kindled the flame." The next moment he had bidden her good night, and was struggling bravely through the drifts without. For some minutes after the door had closed upon liiui there was silenco hi the little cabin, broken only 'by the heavy breathing of old 8m Euderly, enjoying his nightly drunken sleep in the adjoin ing room. Sal, standing dreamily with fol.led hands, and happy oyes fixed some what wistfully on tho Came3, sighed as a rough clasp upon her arm recalled her from her reverie. ' She shuddered invol untarily as sho turned to confront Dill's resentful. surlyface. It was such a con trast to that delicate face, pale and quiet, that had just turned from her to tho stormy -night without. . v 'I want ter know." said Dill, huskily "I want ter know jest how long this - yer s a-go;n tor halt The girl shrugged her shoulders with feigned indifference.

The lire cn the hearth was paling. The glo-.v on her faco paled with it, and tr?e, towering like pome hoary giant ib IIh robe of icoi One of its bouglm caught her gown, held her in mid air for o'no awful moment, then, crisp with frost, broke oil sharply, ctodting down wi.h her into a bank df snow.

Then, l.ruifej and l.loea ing. sho resumed her awful journey,, reck less of pain or peril -in her desperation, heeding only that each now fail brought her nearer to tho man she loved. As she leaped from the last crag down to the snowy highway Darcy Brcona'a lantern was just shining around tho last turning of tho trail. Sho caught it from him and hurled it upwards, its telltale light vanishing within an extinguisher of snow. Then, as, 6;ieecbles3 wLh aston ishment, ho stoad irresolutely, slio suized his hand and dragged him hastily to wards tho t )'!). "Th' night freight '11 ho passin' yer in five minutes," she "gasped, almost inco herently. "It idlers Blows just 1'iar, 'by th' junction. Fur God'o sake, fur hfo's sake, board it.

Tie understood at once that her jealous suitor had been working upon Sal's fears with somo threat of violence to him. But if his heart beat more quickly at the thought, it was not from coward-. ice. Ho put his arm around the trem bling girl and drew her to him. Villi a stifled cry sho broko away, urging him forward with oil her remaining strength. r a quarter ot a rauj up the mountain sue had caught the gleam cf a lantern. : "BilFs a-goin' ter kill yer," tho cried, "lie's got hi3 shooter. Wot Lhi yo 'do agm liijn?" Darcy a pr.ntonymic nr.F.wer wvs elo quent, flo flimg off his coat and began to turn up his elocvcs. For ono luomcut CuVa heart despaired. Then her woman V wit-came to her aid. ' "Darcy," she pleaded, "ye ain't a-goin' ter back out now-r-yo ain't ain't refusin' ter kum wi' me?" With her? Tho man started and caught up his coat luu-riccUy. Thoso hist two words ojicned a vista not unp.Vusing to him, in Lis passionate, scllkdi youtii. lie went a: few 8tc;s forward and thc-n lsctiilatrd. Tlio littlo inherent gooil rn bis natiu'o a ccrted itself in this last moment. .'fjaI,"bo said, "Jo you know what you aro asking? I I have iiottlono well by you, but I never meant you quite such wrong as this." A great sob welled up from the girl's heart and strangled . her. She put her hands to Tier throat . wildly. Tvccti? r than the Utter blast.sorer by far than thewounds from the icy ledge was tfurrtab-of those repentant- words. He had never meant J to marry .her, never not even when his words were softest, his eyes and heart mest warm!' And thij was the man f r whom she bad just dared death the lover whom sho would have saved at any j cost. - The thought of Dill poor, rough, loval Eiil; of bis love, honorable, manly, i steadfast, which sho bad L-crtored for ! this! A sudden bitter resentmoMt took I posrseion of her to vanish as ulio lo iked ! upiiiul met Darcy ii iAt lilue ryes. l'cKir, lier, tho pfcturB danced before her. ".-.Sweetheart!" 'Sweetheart!" And to know it now, now in tho hour when she had risked her lifo to save him! fhe staggered to the lied and foil across it, face downwards, scorching tor.fj gather ing slowly in her wide o;ien. unseeing eyes. Site did not hi'uf tlio door open, nor tho quick footstcpi that sounded in tho room. VKum oht rcr!" cried a voice, rouglilr, "I ain't a goin' ter git th bet ter o' yo unbeknownst. I'm wiilin' ter light yo far a;i' squar', un' let th' best tun win." Tho words reached her, hut she did not grasp their meaning. Tlio long strain liad brought its inevitabb reaction, and she had succumbed at last. "Git up, tliar, I say!. No plnyra' asleep '11 fool me! Yo'ro a coward ter try it!

A sudden familiar sound recalle.l Sal Endegjjy to a dim sort of consciousness. It was a Round that sho had learned to know well during her lifo in that lawless region the click of a revolver, cocked for action. S.inia faint, natural instinct of self preservation impels her to open her lips, but no word issues from them. Twice she essayed to speak, and both times vainly, then sho shut her lip3 again, resignedly. Sweetheart! . Sweet heart! That cruel word was tho only one she had not forgotten. She was dead to fear, to shame, to every tiling, but the sore agony in her heart. There was a flash, a sudden, shart) re wt. a keen, stimvim; sensation in . he" left side, piercing through to tho Ix'ftuti- ful white breast! The next moment the light of a lantern flushed full in her face, and, lying back, faint unto 'death, witli something warm and dark trickling through her gown and staining tho white counterpane, she saw tiio face of Red Ranch Bill, drawn, ghastly, horror stricken, nltovo her, "Sal!" ho cried. "Oh, my God! my God! Sal!" The despair in his voice recalled 'tier from the lethargy into which sho vm fast sinking. "If.) all right, Dill yo didn't mean it," sho suid, softly. "It don't hurt huff cz much ez of 't h'd bo'n him!" . Her eyes closed, her lips paled. Bill sank on his knees, burying his face in Iter frosty, draggled skirt Suddenly, with a last effort, she rais ;d herself in the bed and held out tho velvet framed pict ure. --'- : t- "l"co it till Darcy Breeno s"nds fur it,'' sho gasped. "Don't take, on. Bill. I'm glad ter die fur bis sake!" Then her lips parted, her eyes glazed, her bead fell forward, nnd tho tragedy of Ranch Village w;im played to its end.

Strangers whd added to the throng and looked on some-' times joined in tlio merriment, but at other times held their breath tt what they saw. The koys had poured water down the nuddlo of tho street and it hal frozen into a narrow 'road way of silvery ice. Along this slippery slanting path, there shot a lightning like procession of coasting machines of sorts tho most re markable that were ever seen together; First there would edfcie half a dozen fra-'ile painted sleds, followed by an errand Ixiy in a soap box nailed to a sled, with brown paper fluttering out from under him to show that ho was supposed to be delivering a parcel someJ where. .Next came eight httlo urchins on 8 piece of rough plank, flying a3 if they wero falling from the clouds. Kwittly pursuing the plank camo a boy on tho' lid of a trunk, a girl on a squaro block of ice, a boy on a side of such a box as oranges cotno in, with another boy astride of his back, nil flying down at sixty ruiies nn hour. Close upon these Citme: young lady "and a ly upon a toboggan, more painted sledi, another errand lxy on a soap box, and. strangest sled of all, a door mat, thut liad been been wot and froscn 6tilT. bearing a ragged girl, revolving' around and around after tlie manner of a pinwhcel, and yet dartit'g d i-.vn hiil lika a flatli. P.ut tiiere were many other strange! sights to come.. One was thct cf a boy flitting by with nothing beneath him, while close to bis lic.ck camo the square block of wood ' that . had slipped fronr undor him. Another boy slid along in side a decrepit old basket, and ono went, by like a. swall w m a littlo 'pieco of wood under which ho had screwed a jKiir of skutes to servo as sleil runners. It was not so much coasting as a coasting burloMine, so utterly ri lieulous .wero mitt of tho meth'xis employed to get down the bill. Tlie truth was that as cich lxy ha;ip he! clcng and caught sight cf the glittering path of ice hef threw himself upon it if bo had a sled, or, if ho had none, ho got the first thing that came to his hand to cit upon. Night after night thu crazy Coasting goes on, and thus far there i-r no news of any ond having Ixx-n seriously hurt. Albany Con New York San. 'D;:rrv,"'t.!ie to'dxjd, u: ct't ever, ;f).0.;0.
