Harrow and I were both carvers,' Wa had learned of. the same master, and we were rivals from the first. ; Harrow and I were both poor men enough, toth young, and both in love with the same girl, Bessie Barker, the old sea captain's daughter. !

In summer trains ran regularly, but in win tot there were Just two a day, one at 10 in the morning and one at 7 in the evening. ; I just caught the train, and I stood out . side on the platform for a momenb to take breath, and looked through - the window. Into the oar, and saw Harrow sitting there. I suppose his work was done by that., " Well, I didn't want to speak to him, aficr slnoe be was to be there I didn't care to go to the captain's. . Harrow did not Bee 'me, and when the train stopped I slipped but of the way behind the station and waited until he went byv Then I followed him, I - hardly knew why, clear down to. the cot tage. He rang the bell and was let in. - I . saw his shadow on the white sbade-and going close I heard what they were saying." 'Carving done?" asked the captain. : "I suppose so, or you'd not be wasting your nme visiting. v "r--...--. "It's not done," said Harrow, with a laugh. "But I shall take the night for It. I don't expect to sleep muoh tonight You see; . I wanted .Inspiration, and I came Where I could get it." -' ''And Beldon, he's done, I suppose?" said the captain. "Which of you is to nave the prlzer" "He's got a pretty thing," be said. "Not to boast I'm not afraid of any other competitor, and I'm not much afraid of him not muoh. ; Wish me : luok, Miss Bessie." What would Bessie sayf I might learn something ot ber heart by that. I listened. - -. ;. - -. -; '. .- - wish you. both luck, Mr. Harrow,", she said. "I wish there were two prizes." ''But there is only, one," be said very gravely. ?'Whloh of ns shalj have Itt" Did he mean the prize for the carving, ormoref All she said was:', : "Sir Arthur Is to decide that" f i J Then it struck me that if I oould keep him from catching the train he could not get back that night oould not finish bis carving so as to get it into the exhibition, and In that case no doubt of my luok with a Judge like Sir Arthur on the committee. ' I listened. I still bad another chance. "I must watch the clock," be said. "My watch Is at the jeweler's for repairs, and If I miss the train I'm done for." - I slipped round to tbe kitchen door.: I tried the latch, tbe door opened easily. I went in. Through the adjoining door I beard Harrow's voice, lond and gay, and I gave a little exultant chuckle as I put tbe clock bands back half an hour.: That was enough for my purpose, v J ; : "; : I kept on the watch, and when I found that there was only one other an old wom anbesides myself on the train call it a train? it was one oar and the engine I felt triumphant. I should. finish my work and take it in before Harrow got back. Our rooms were in the same building and near each other. When I went np to mine abd, lighting my gas, saw my beau tiful easel almost done, I sold aloud: "We shall have the prize, my dear." And I sat down before It but In a min ute I dropped tbe tools and burst oat cry ing like a woman. vV- - v ;.--. l What fort yon ask. Well, for shame. , I knew that X should take no pleasure In the prize no pride in it The storm that bad been threatening all day had burst X could do nothing. - j ; ;:; ; ; - x . Then it dawned upon me that 1 could. I was a carver ay, as good as he, if not better. - His work was blocked out I oould finish it for him, and leave mine , forsake every hope of the prize. I; j 7 Then I took a tool I knew would do the thing, picked Harrow's lock, lit bis gas,; and went to work. "j -' ' ; '' j There was just time to dress and carry Harrow'B work to tbe hall. :-1 did that and then I come book and sat down and looked at my own lost hope, i' r - "I've given yon up," said I. ' "Have I' given up Bessie, toof I suppose so." ; i And then there came a step on the stair, a cry In the next room. - - . ' ; --There stood a figure like a frozen' ghost' . its hair stiff with icicles, its beard flaked with them, ice on its coat on its hat on its feet, one arm banging by its side help less. It was Harrow. " ; ."I was left by the train at the seaside last night" he panted. "How could I stayf v I tried to walk. I fell on tbe ice.: I've broken my arm. ;;.

' How Much Can a Bee Carry? That Is the question whioh certain nat uralists have set to work to determine. - Having caught a- number of bees as they . returned to the hire laden with honey, the. naturalists lnolosed them In a light recep tacle and. weighed them, tbe weight of the box being deducted from the total. Z, . The same bees were again ' captured on emerging empty from ' the hire and again placed on the delicate scale. ': ' Tbe result of the two operations showed that when ladened the bees weighed three times as muoh as when empty; Hence i is concluded that a bee can carry twice Us own weight.-Leeds Mercury. - . 1- - ' ' .

He wasa brother-in-law of -Kit Carson, and the last of that pioneer hand of sconts, Indian fighters,' hunters and trappers that ventured upon the un known frontier way : back in the thir-1 tiea.' When be died, be was the worst 'chawed and clawed - np"man, I, gness, that ever took a life course in the Rooky mountain school of experience. ? He .bore .the marks of srrizzlv bears, mountain lions, Indians, bad men and other wild animals from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet: ;lVHe Bad been shot 1 9 times.-;'. Indians took bis scalp onoe ana iert tarn tor dead, Four times he had beeii stripped pretty much ;bare of nesh - hy isrizzlies. - and ; three times chewed xwt of shape by mountain lions. -Kattlesnakes had ennk fansra Into him ; three different timesr without: putting' mm to any great .inconvenience. . The last time I saw old Tom, .which 1 was only a little while - before he died, he said; with a shake of .his bead : - iLt? 'I hain' no room':f or . any more Hears or Lthink I'dwabble out and give sometJQin else a chance at me. '.I'd like to have a Qeely monster try.' me. onoe "jest to see" what he oould da --! -J 'xom was a tough piece of boae.arid sinew and no mistake. His- fame was great in the early .days. .- Indians feared him. - Morse thieves and other outlaws "gave a locality wide berth if TomTobin was' known . to be hanging around it, Colorado ought to put up a monument to him,' for he risked his "life once to do an act ,that with, one crack of his rifle set that territory" ahead ten years at least. " That exploit was . the ending of tbe career of : the two Espiuosas, Mexi can '. brothers," whowere the Tsoldest, bloodthirstiest, most dreaded despera does of all the murderous, outlaws that terrorized that part of: the country in the pioneer days. I've heard old timers say that the Very "mention of ; the name of ; the Espijnosas was enough- to jnake the settlers shudder. These, cntwroats committed murder for the sake of murder.-;The most . brutal Sioux of . those days would have hesitated before com mitting some of ; the crimes, that these two Mexicans were guilty of. -1 i , "Fort Garland was the military post that guarded the interests of the . Colo rado settlers. , The troops there were un der command of Colonel Tappan. In 1862 the Espinosashad brought one por tion of the territory under such a reign of terror that the inhabitants sought the aid of Colonel Tappan in ridding the region of the Mexican cutthroats and robbers. , In their appeal to the colonel they declared that ranchmen, stockmen, miners and all classes in the San Juan country simply took their lives in their hands when they went about their af fairs. ' Colonel Tappan detailed a com pany of men to seek the trail of the Mexican outlaws and hunt them - to the death. Rewards .to the amount of $3,000 had been offered by the terri torial , legislature for the taking of the Espinosas dead' or alive. Tom Tobin was at F0t$ Garland when the company of troops was ordered out to hunt ' the desperadoes down, and volunteered to go along., . . :vvL" -!"i.-"" "Two daya after, the start Tobin dis covered the trail of the Mexicans. It led to the heart of the Sangro de Cristo mountains. The desperate character of the Mexicans was shown by their hold ing up the iiacerville stage, Kiumg.tne driver and two of . the passengers, and robbing the mails and express boxes the very day Tobin discovered their camp, in a deep and lonely gulch in the moun tains. - This waa five days after the dis coveryof their trail. Tobin bad told the lieutenant of the ; company that i he needn't attempt to . take the Mexicans alive, because they .wouldn't, be taken, and. any attempt to do it wonld result only in the death of all that made it. " 'There ain't any use of that, said Tom. 'I'll follow these greasers to their hole.' If I comeback, I'll have 'em both If I don't come back, they'll have me. ' "Tom followed the trail into this gulch until he came to the isolated and almost inaccessible spot where the Es pinosas had' made their camp. Like a shadow he crept on until., he could see the two desperadoes. They were absorb ed in taking ah inventory, ox plunder, whioh proved to be the proceeds of the Plaoerville stage robbery. Tobin worked himself around until he had the outlaws in range. - fie knew his rife ; he knew himself. When his rifle cracked, there were no more Espinosas not oh earth. Tom had. killed them both at one shot. Then he deliberately; and, he always said, joyfully, cut off their heads. He .carried those ghastly trophies to . Fort . Garland, and when . the news spread about tbe country the people went wild. They hailed Tom Tobin as their deliver-? er and went about their affairs no Ion ger with fear and trembling. But that was all they did. -They soon forgot the great thing Tobin had done for them. , and even the legislature ignored him for ten years, when, under pressure, it paid the old. scout $500 on account. ' - .':.W: "The last time I saw old Tom I asked him if Colorado bad settled with him. yet - ' ; " " " 'Not yet, he said, But I hear; they're thinkin somethin o' talkin about it!
