in a gloomy room, made more dis
mal by a plu'ttering candle set in a
bottle, the sides of which were cov
ered with a copious overflow of tal
low, a young msn sat, attempting to
decipher the words on a small piece
f paper. Near him, with her head
bent forward in an anxious, half ex
pectant attitude, was his mother, on
wuose not unattractive lace were
the lines oj toil and suffering.
"Well, George," she finally said,
"wny uon t you read it r "
"1 can hardly make it out, moth

one of the great piano makers in

"Yes, George," said the womao, a
slight flush tinijcinff her pale face;
"but you've tried so many kinds of
dope, and they all failed. Im
afraid it's your way of riding, dear.''
"My vway 01 riding r exclaimed
the young man, and he looked up
and ran his bands through his curly
hair. ''Why, there isn't a man in
Plumas county who can toss more
snow in a day, lift more, stand more,
than can I.
His mother said nothing. She
sighed as she looked up at the snow
covered . windows, then glanced at
her companion witli an expression
that combined pride and pity. The
young man had uot overstated his
prowess. He was a giant, a colossus
in strength, seven feet tall, but so
thin, so long of limb, so strangely
drawn out that for miles around he
was known as "Long Barton" and
"Tanglefoot." He was a miner, like
bis father, who had been killed in
alt avalanche two seasons before.
' The winter had set in earlv. and a
succession of snowstorms had buried
the little hamlet of a dozen houses
so deep in the snow that around the
.Barton home it was nearly; 30 leet
on the level, and the hamlet, so far
as appearances went, had been wiped
out of existence and lay with all Its
domestic life under the snow. The
entire male population bad dug the
Bartons out, as in previous winters,
.the operation consisting in begin
ning a shoot SO feet from the front
of the house, or where it was sup
posed to be, and sinking burrow
or shoot at an angle of 45 degrees in
the direction of the second story:
It took some time to accomplish this
after the last storm, but finally xh
miners reached i the attic window!
giving a rousing cheer as Mrs. Bar
ton ana her son appeared 10 weir
come them. (From this time the-attic
window had been the front door,
George had cut steps up the burrow,
and the Barf 6ns, as the postmaster:
remarked, were ?'in society again.'!
The chimney had been spliced. with
pieces kept for the purpose, so that
the top .reached the turf ace of the
mow, and' as George had piled i
Jlentiful supply of wood in thf
buse in September and' there wa
an abundance, bit candles,: oil and

where the little village lay buried. .
Every town or village in Plumas
and Sierra counties of any preten

the members, were experts who had
performed, wonderful feats, and for
this race the pick of every club was
on hand at the top of the glassy!

men, women and girls looked on.

the stage driver, "and I haven't the

mountains, even if it was not snow

of men who had met death trying to
cross the sierras in storms, and for
a few moments no one answered.

held closer to his breast, a voice
said :

he could hardly stand. A moment

which had led Lonr Barton to be

do this, he would have said no. He
strode up the little valley, keeping
in the center; with the walls of tha
sierras, suowclad, trembling with
avalanches on either side and in an
hour struck the straggling forest
He knew, tha trees well and for firs
miles kept the trail: Then he came
to the first slope.' By the Bid of his
staff he made a rapid slide, reaching
the bottom of the canyon safely ia
a few seconds. And this was to be

How far hs went no one knows to
this day, but it had been many mile
in the wrong, direction, when, with a
wild laugh, which frightened those
who heard it, Ixmg Uarton unslung
a bundle and plunged into a half
buried wickiup, from the top of
which sparks were rising. The men
reached for their firearms at sight of
the gigantic and wild eyed figure,
but the squaw, laying her papoose
among the blankets, with unerring
instinct caught the bundle from the
hands of the falling man, and Jim
Grayson's baby was saved. As for
"Tanglefoot" Barton, one of the
half breeds, who came in to the vil
lage from another wickiup and who
understood English, said he was
clean off his head and thought he
had won a race. Charles F. Holder

In and Into.
Much confusion characterizes the
use of these two prepositions. Stor-
month gives the simplest and best
rule concerning them which we have
come across. lie says: "Into comes
after a verb denoting motion, and
in follows a verb denoting rent."
This gives the idea comprehensive
ly, but it must not be taken literal
ly. Thus it is entirely proper to
say "He fell in the street." The
person referred to may have been
walking or standing still when lis
fell. He was, however, already in
the street,! and therefore whon he
fell he did not move into it. If,
however, he was in a building or
other structure facing the street and
he fell, landing in the street, it
would then be proper to say "He
fell into tha treat."
In ia frequently an adverb, and
in such cases it should be used after
a verb denoting motion. For ex
ample, it Is correct to say "He came
in of one who had been asked to
enter a house.' But if a preposition
were to be used in, this connection
the phrase would be "He came into
the house."
' Those who will commit to memo
ry tha rule quoted will soon be sure
of their ground when they hare oc
casion to use in or into.

The baked potato ia more easily
digested than the boiled because its
starch is partly converted into dex

Ths sweetness of the baked pota

stand after it is done till cool, the
starch becorres waxy and loses its

tsgwheel Made of It and Mallets and
, , ... Many Other Things. (,
"One of the most curious of tha
many thing made nowaday of raw
hide," said a man who handles Uco
Articles in his business, "is the raw
hide pinion or cogwheel.' You
might think that the teeth of uch
a wheel would break, down and wear
off quicker than those of an iron
wheel, but as a matter of fact they
do not break, and a rawhide pinion
will wear as long.ss an iron pinion,
If not longer. ,1.
"Such pinions are made of many
layers of rawhide 'pressed solidly
together and bolted through and
through to metal plates placed on
the sides. The teeth cut serosa ths
face of the wheel thus formed are.
of course, each composed of many
layers of the thoroughly compacted
rawhide standing edgewise.
".Rawhide pinions are used for
many purposes. Une 01 their great
advantages is found in their noise
lessness. ' They are used in machine
shops against iron gear so a to
make less noise; they are used for
motor pinions on street railway ears
and so on. , .
"Another rather curious though
now somewhat common use for raw
hide is in the making of mauls and
mallets having heads of rawhide and
hide faced hammers. These are pnt
to a great yariety of uses, as for
pounding on die and punches and
on polished metal surfaces. ''
