THE SX0W-SHRIEK.
When tbo snow-abriek riugs across
:.'ie plaius and prairies of the great
Xetsl, folks who have a love for tlitsir
ife don't care to camp oat. The Iu
;ian8 strike their lodges at the eoouU,
ad make tbe best of their way to
helter among the bluffs, or in a
vooded tract. As for the settlers,
nky take wugous and harry off to tho
teurest town, leaviDg cverjthiDg be
oind to its fate.
ily story is of the far West.
Aibevic Paraell was a tall iuarly

the war-cry of oralting demons, filled
the startled air, as though rejoicing
over its prey.
The pangs of impending famine
were soon added to the terrors of tbe
situation. Those 6hiit up in tbe once
hospitable mansion it Stewart's Flat,
had but seamy supplies of food or
fuel. It was as much as a man's life
was worth to try to reach the great
wood-pile. It took sbvere exertion .to
bring in, irom time to time, a fow logs
i.nd somo broken timber from the
yard, while, after the first few hours,
provisions ran short. There is little
inducement for a settler in that land
of Goshen to store up hams and
salted meat, flour and biscuit, to any
c-xtent; but now thai flocks and
herds, and barns brimming 'with
wheat and, golden maize hud been

now the -seamy store of wood was
gone, and Caryl and Metella, as they
knelt and prayed, side l-by side, lelt
that their wedding must indued ibe in
the world to come, not in this, j
'-There is one thing 1 ought to tell
you, dear Caryl," whispered the girl,
as they stood side by side in the
porch. "1 have not been wilfully
untrue to my pledge, but but thb)e
was ne who left us but the other
day, on whom my rebellious thoughts
would dwell, do what I could t,o
school tMi,m. It was, not that I did
not love you indeed not but it was
different when 1 thought of Alberto
Paruell. 1 shall never see him more.
He will learn to forget me, and had I
lived, it should have been? my daily
task to forget him. You are not
angry, Caryl?' -
He kissed her on the forehead, say
infi gently, "Indeed, I am not an;ry.
Love, I fear, will not be always rea
soned with.- It is not your fault, my
poor child, if yon saw in Parnell
what you bare never seen in me. I
wiis to you as a brother, was I not?
And you learned, too late that liking
was not love. It'matters little dear-,
est, on the brink of the grave, as we
stand now, but believe me ha I the
uoibo without is real enough, this
time." " -'
And. so it was. There was a distinct
clash and, rattle of spade and shovel,

Thirty-six hours later the sad, mo

bad swelled into a menacing roar, as
of angry fioudu let loose to ravage and
destroy, and a lilmy veil drawn over
lue western sky, bad darkened from
white to orange, and from orange to.

wiugs of aa icy wind, there broke
upon the Territory tbe force of such

brought in the welcome news that,
for the time at least, the storm had
ceased. By this ttmo the house
merely resembled a mound of snow,
one heap among many in the blurred
landscape. The inmates were as
helpless as so many shipwrecked
wretches in mid-ocean in a frail boat
without sail or oar. For twenty
four hours mostof them had - not
eaten. The few morsels of food that
remained were reserved, by common
consent, for the female members of
the starving household. The fire was
fed, as best might be, with broken
furniture and wood-work torn from
the walls. Still no help came. Per
haps the people at Troy were power
less to afford it. More likely it was
taken for granted that the Stewarts
and their servants , had effected a
timely escape to some place of safety.
If so, and should not a speedy thaw
set in, death was inevitable. Some

hours elapsed, aud still
sign that the blocked'
had not been forgotten . Ha ! what
was that? A shot, surely, and then
another, and a cheer of friendly
voices, and hope sprung up in every
heart, and was kept alive by tbe oc
casional report of distant fire-arms
and tbe sound of shouting.
Yes, rescue was at band. That
much was certain. An attempt to
penetrate the girding wall of snow
was about to be made, but what were
the numbers or the resources of the
adventurous band without, those
within the house knew not. There
were now but some four or five win
dows, darkened by snow wreaths and
pendant icicles, whence a partial view
of the outer desolation could be ob
tained. And it was not on that side
ot the villa that the shouts and shots
i ! uno until ho round "a g-avc m""Ujo i of the explorers had announced their
:j.qin.g now. It was witn diifi presence. Some hours of painful sus-

was -c.l,.-tcot, in
ttiOs.e '.vitsjin tuy aouso, while the
door was ejii;c-i iy opened to admit the
deliverers. And nhw a crevice, soon
enlarged to a ciefi, appeared ip the
snow 'wall close in front, and revealed
the dark outline of a. human form,
hewing to right and left with a broad
bladed hatchet, as if cutting a path
through the rank- of a resisting
enemy. Then a tell, strong man ,
wet and dripping, and with his beard
aud hair full of glistening snow
crystals, came leaping from the aper
ture and reached tbe threshold. It
was Al beric Alberic Parnell ; and
the next to struggle through the
breach in the snow-wall, spade in
hand, was tho gaunt figure of , Hiram
Pell, the hunter, while from bebiud
came crowding up the rest of the
bold and hardy band.
Then followed &; scene of inde
scribable excitement and confusion,
in which thauks to God and man for
the timely rescue were freely uttered
by those who now saw themselves
restored to" the living world. But
Metella, who had seen nothing save
Alberic'a face in all that mingled
group, was overpowered by the rush
of her emotions, and was sinking
senseless to the floor, when the young
man sprang forward and caught her,
fainting, in his strong arms. When
she recovered from the swoon, her
parents were with her; and near the
sofa on wnich they had laid her, stood
the old hunter, Hiram Pell. There
was food on a table near, for the res
cuers had not como empty handed ;
but Miss Stewart had forgotten her
hunger, forgotten all, save that she
had seen A I beric again for one brief
moment of happiness. She drank in
thirstily, however, the words of the
old backwoodsman.
"Thank him, Colonel Mr. Parnell,
I meau-r-not me, for true us Gospel
'tis to him you owe your lives. Talk;
of grit I . I thought I knew what
bravery was, but never , the like of
that, young chap's. Ho shamed us
into1 sticking to( it, squire, fighting',
everv inch -of the wav, against cold
and fatigue, and working more like a
young giant than a mere nan. Says
to jd, &ear. Alias otewart
answered he, softly "It.ifc a brother,

regarded me all along, and now I re
lease you fully - and freely from &
Eiignt, t ine Keeping qi wmcn ,wouia
e, misery to you. ' I am not selfish
enough to "hold you to- your promise,
Wrtb your beartrto your preserver
to Alberic Parnell." He was- very
white and haggard as he spoke, but
he never once failed in his address
and before' Metella" could frame' her
reply Mrs. Stewart had walked to
the door, aad returned, accompanied
by Alberic.
"This young gentleman," she said,'
half reproachfully, "was iusl about
to slip away from us and our acknow
ledgments of his: courage and his
kindness. He eould not. trust hioi
selfforsootbrtrto ' meet 'you again,
Metella. Even now I see by his puz
zled look that he hardly can guess
the sbiuti6ri'bf the'enigma." '
"This will explain all I" said Caryl,
as, to Alberic'a fAtnaxement, he took
the young man's mqscular hand and
placed it in that of Metella.
"Be ha'pipy-' 'sister,'" with the hus
band of your cboide. After' the inno-
cent donfesstori that, when ' death
seemed to have us in bis icy clatcb,
you made to . me, I should commit a
sin did 1 come between you two be
tween you and tbo man who, ' when
on his road to New York and Europe,
turned back at tho bare rumor of this
fearful snow-storm..: and risked life
and health to savo the girl he! loved.
Metella could not speak. Clinging
to At boric, ;?as a'graceful vine to' some
towering oak 'of the forest; she ' bid
her face upon-his shoulder aud sobbed
aloud. In the timid, -trustful rapture
of that moment she. scarcely rea ized
that every word" which Caryl ( had'
spoken had been as a stab to the
bosom of the speaker; that biff' gen
erous selt-saorifice" cost him very
dearly, wiien a,, sudden -outcry of
voices snatched both of the lovers

. upon them by the rush of tho re- j around lue doomed house, it was,
.biks wind,- that howled and raved, j beyond a doubt, that tbe well-wishers
with a sound like the cry ot ravening ! on the outaide must have desisted
a lev paces from tiie door camo in to j Mr. Alberic, when there was talk of
lu-ing the ev;I nJt'igs that the snow
had again L?g.un to fll. The air was
t-ow full of feathery flukes " aud the
of mac kind. Daniel
wolves, about tbe house, and heaped
up such masses as cumber the ground,
even iu those latitudes, but once or
twice in a generation. Colonel Stew
art, at first incredulous of peril, as it
was in his Banguiue nature to bo,
presently began to admit that the
calamity was worse: than the mere
damage to his property. The sheep,
hogs and cattle that' he had lost rep
resented but a money sacrifice an
affair of dollars aud cents. But when
aTTcommunfcatioos btvweeu Stewart'
Flat a&d the oaler world were cbi

The latter lasted through the misera

ceased again, bat those ' within the
house had almost bidden farewell to
hope. Probably the rescuers, Would
not, until the weather should improve,

then, it would be too late. Privations

room during this speech, now came
gliding to her daughter'-ide.
'i "Are yob well emagb, Metella,
idear, to speak with Oaryf for a mo
ment r' she said, smiling through her
tears, 'Ho is rery argent to ay a
word to you. He says it Is for tbe

leisure to. realize the meaning of
ptness. foor Caryl w lnturop ' haa
s'iik helpless on the floor, and was
being lifted by Colonel Stewart and
the old hunter, who placd bim on the
sofa where Miss Stewart bad so lately
reclined. '

"More than that, , I' g'aest. e's
going home, if ever T saw death in a
face 1" muttered T the rough 'back
woodsman. Caryl, who had partially
regained his senses, had no , illusions
on the subject. . . , , .
., Do not weep for me, darling," he
said, aaHIetelfas tears bedewed his
face, and tEe girl bent over him in
tender sorrow, : "The stroke has
fallen; but itis in mercy." He pressed
his feeble hand to his heart, and the
cOnvictioii flashed on all present that
the insidious malady from which he
had believed himself to be cured, ag
gravated by hardship aud the cruel
emotions of the last hour, was re
claiming its prey.
"Kiss me once, sister," be said,
softly ; and Metella pressed her lips
to bis brow, On which ' the damps of
death -were gathering. The young
people were kneeling beside him.
All surrounded .him. He looked up,
smiling, aud his lips moved, but no
sound came ; and then a spasm of
pain contracted bis features, and tbe
heavy bead fell back. He was dead.
It is scarcely needful to say, that
some six months later from the date
of these events Alberic Parnell and
Metella Stewart were married. Their
experience of wedded life has been
a happy and prosperous one;
but whenever the gables, and the
white fl.tkes come driving iu heavy
showers from the desert country be
yond the frontier to the northwest,
the sound and the sight combine to
evoke the recollections of Caryl's early
gravw, and of the unselfish sacrifice
which was the last act of his blame
less life. - ''''i:W :Tr7'
