The same terrible stiow-torm piles Its great, soft flakes- on the roof and ; windows, and about the doors of a tiny cottage perched on one of the i lower spurs of the Ridge.

The young men diverged to widen the held of -earch. but the dog's in stinct proved better than the men's fea-o, , and the deep bay of the St. Rem; told his masters of his fin ished ipte-t. Wt Tatl'ord and North came to gether the dog had dug a slender, tar of ;. richly-dre--ed young fellow out the ' .-now, in which he lay -Useless. With some rubbing and shaking, and a little wine poured down his throat", he partially recovered; and then, holding him between them, they set out for the lodge. Rut the .stran ger was;; unequal for the task, and Roger North, gallantly taking him on his back, finally reached the lodge, breathless and exhausted, and laid the rescued man on tire wolf-skin rug. You cho-e a poor day to study nature," said Tatl'ord, as he fed, and warmed, and dried the victim of the storm. "Oh, nature! It was not nature.

"If you ha- a lady love whose father is willing to give her to you, you are better oil' than I am, if you are lost iu the snow," said North, gloomily. My hero . my preserver! do you sutler unhappy love? "In my case the grandfather won't give her to me," said North, swallow ing a CUp of 'cotl'ee. "Ye re is the monster? He denies such a hero! He refuses the genius that makes the world rich in these pietuaire- I see. Vere is he? Chan lieu will go for him will persuade him. The night falls; to-morrow, my friend, Chanlieu must repay vou, who saved his life." 'The dog bounded up with a loud bark; the door burst open; an ava lanche seemed to enter but it spoke: "Help help, some of you! Two Indies and an old man, and the finest span of horses in all the country, are getting buried in tlie snow!' "It. is my bride!" cried Chanlieu, wringing hi- hands and springing up, but finding himself too weak to stand. To Roger North only the general idea of human beings needing help conveyed itself. He shouted, "Come, Talford!" And with the dog and the panting coachman, they were once? ire 'i"e away. 'The direction was opposite to that taken to rescue the Frenchman. A carriage-lamp, hung on a whip-handle for a beacon, directed, as also the sound of the shouts of the judge. The short winter day had thickened to night: to the carriage party the three were only dark forms; but one lamp was hung within the- carriage, and lighted th.e lovely face of Sylvja.

Co liml her and commend yourself to her." Chanlieu returned to the lovers. - "The grand v is very opposed,' he said. "He resolves no. Rut fate brings you together, and I behold in the other room a what-you-Vull a cure, a priest, an abbeeh?" "Oh, a minister. My friend Taf lord," said North. t ? "Then why not have thT's kind cleric marry -you two peace, with tin at once, and make father later? The father, mademoiselle, has said to me, T give her to you;' and now, at your wi-li, I give you to my preserver, your gallant lover.

I make my preserver this Christmas gift." " "Rut I wish it could be my grand father," said Sylvia, wistfully, when this was arranged. Half an hour later Judge Raird, after much fatigue and much cotl'ee, was sound asleep in his chair; and before Tafford, in h;u-tily-donned sur plice, stood the lovers and Chanlieu.

Thpre is a young critic on the Ros ton press who is called ujmu to revievr the greater part of :Bl the books that one important newspaper receives; and as authors generally manage to tind out who their judges in the press are, the. fact has spread abroad among them that th. ir work in this instance is be ing reviewed bv a voung man but late ly out of college. ' The :n r elderly literary man met thL ttay an 13 O U U IT critic and said to him: "I suppose you w-on't resent a friend ly woid alH.ut vour book-reviviuj from a literary veteran, will you?" "Certainly not." "Well, you are doing pretty well; but your vvuk is sadly immature. I have seen some particularly bovish criticisms lately." "Would vou be .willing to mention some examples to help inu to mend my btvle?" "Certainly." And then the literary veteran pro ceeded to name three particular book notices as' containing in every line the evidence of immature judgment. "I thank you very much," said the young critic, "but the firt criticism you named was written by a distin guished specialist in the department of learning of which the book treated; the second was the work of a pifessor in Harvard college; and the tiiVr'ji was written by one of the most eminent lit erary clergymen of Roston." Whichinasmuch as it was he fact, goes to prove that it is sometimes ditli eult to '.-locate" literary stCie iu an un signed newspaper article. livztun Traiiscri)!. A Check in the Cotlm.
