A CHRISTMAS STORY BT 8 BARIK6-OOFI.D-
The forest of Dartmoor Is smrroundcd on every side by wide stretchy of moorland that belong to the several contiguous parishes, and every householder in each ol these parisbc* claims rights on the common of hi« parish, over which, moreover, the manorial lord asserts paramount authority and enforces it when he can. The duchy of Cornwall, however, to which the forest belongs, professes a sort

oL sover
over all thew cotiimons. Now, there lived in the parish of South Tawton. in the curious old village of Zeal, where every bouse is an archaeological curiosity and every householder is independent, a poor young man of the name of Jo siah Day. commonly known as young Ralnyday.
This nickname was acquired by him through his excessive caution Jos was not a lazy man, yet his exaggerated prudence led to much the same results as inertness
He was working on the common, cutting up granite blocks, wherewith to construct a "new take" wall. While thus engaged Jos came on a pile of small stones.
He cleared away these as too small to serve his purpose and discovered beneath them a granite slab. This he levered aside, without much difficulty, and to his
HE PEKREI) CAUTIOUSLT ABOUT HIM. surprise discovered a stone cist or coffin constructed of rudo blocks He crept in and was still further surprised when he found within a pot containing charred bones and ashes, and near it a cup of yellow metal and some rings and hoops, some weighing 0, others 10 and 15 ounces apiece.
Ho hastily scrambled forth, and as the sotting sun gleamed out ho oxamined his find'by its light Ho rubbed tho cup and the rings on his sleevo and "By ginger!' said ho "I'm darnod if it ain't all solid gold Come, I'm In luck's way This shall stand over against a rainy day."
Such was his Urst thought tho seoond was this "If it be known that 1 have found a treasure, then I shall havo the duchy putting Its list down on it, the lord of tho manor domandlng it, the orown exacting It. tho parson holding out his hand for a tenth and every householder In the parish, as this is common land, clamoring for his sharo, and there be 148 have rights Thoro'U bo naught left for me but tho disappointment of having found and lost treasure."
Joslah stood turning over tho gold cup and rings Then ho peered cautiously about him to make sure that he was unobserved.
Then tho young man replaced tho oovoring block, thon heaped tho small stones and earth ovor it and disguisod the faot that the placo had been disturbed
Ho returned homo very satisfied with himself and with his prospects. Now he could look forward without blinking to tho Inevitable rainy day At present he had health, strength and youth, and with these he could oarn his livelihood. "But," as Jos put It, "I can't reckon on these lasting 1 knows several young chaps as has had colds settled on their chcstesses and havo died of a decllno. And Tom Kndlcott, he dislocated his hip and now can't hobble up on to tho moor after granite no more, and as to old age and decrepitude— there's no denying It, over}' day and hour and minute brings mo nlghcr to It."
Accordingly Jos went on breaking up stone and inclosing, and instinctively ho extended his "new tako" wall In tho direction of the cairn and stono chest that contained his treasure
It must not 1)0 supposed that Jos was not tempted to realize, but fear of discovery ami tho consequent confiscation of the gold, above all, his prevailing dominant passion of caution against a futuro unprovided for, prevented his doing so.
On tho verge of tho mOor lived a girl named Mary Aggott with her bedridden mother Sho mado a livelihood out of eomo poultry sho kept, out of flint arrowheads, which by searching she found on tho moor and which sho disposed of to an archaeologist Sho also did sorno needlowork.
Jos passed tho cottage twice daily on his way out and on his way home, and very frequently ho saw Mary at her door, and they nover mot without exchange of salutations. On one occasion when overtaken by a hailstorm he had been invited into the cottage and had been given a cup of tea that warmed his heart as if it had been peppermint and got into his head as If it had been whisky.
On leaving tho cottage he said to himself: "I might go farther and fare worse. The old mother is well cared for, tho house ne»t, tho tnaid Is protty and bright and pleasant. But"—be shook his head—"it don't do to marry early that means a family coming fast and nothing drags a man's head under water liko a lot of babies clawing hold of it tf Polly Aggett bad money, that would be another matter altogether. Then it might bo worth consideration.
One day when they met on tho moor the northeast blast was so cutting that they retired together under shelter of a rock to sat their lunch. Considering how cold the weather was Jos put his arm round Polly, and. having an overcoat, be threw one arm of it over her shoulder
The ensuing night was one of sore temptation to Jos. He tossed on his bed. He could not sleep He sallied very early from bis boose and went to the moor, r» solved to raise his treasure, dispose of It dare fortune and marry. I
As
bo passed the cottage of Mary Aggett be did not see her He was glad of this, lest she should bare asked him why he went to bis work two boors earlier than usual
He proceeded to the oairn, removed the •tones, beared the oovering slab aside, got Into the chest and brought out the gold rings and cop. He furbished them up and tbe? sparkled In the morning sua.
When all wore ranged before him, be abook his bead. "It would be madness to risk Itk" said be.
MH
the whole story out of me, and they be that chatterboxes they can't help talking, and she'd blab about it to everyone ia the place Then I'd have the crown, and the duchy, and the lord of the manor, and the parson, and the 143 commoners down on me demanding their shares. Be hanged If I'll risk it! Women is terrible dangerous animals with their tongues, never to be trusted." Then in went ail the treasure again into the coffin that had contained and preserved it for 4,000 years. "I know what I'll do," said Jos. "I'll build my new take wall right- over this old grave and then no one can get at the treasure without pulling down the wall.'
Little did Jos suspect that he was being watched, and that bis every word was overheard by Polly herself, who was behind the rock hard by, where she had picked up flint chips and flakes
Slowly, painfully, Jos Day worked at his wall He succeeded in carrying it over the cairn, and thus he secured his treasure from being disturbed, and thus was it made fast against the rainy day
In the course of the next three months he bad completed the inclosure and bad taken from the common a tract of good land of five and twenty acres in extent. "Now. then," said Jos to himself, "my way is to be as still as a mouse The duchy won't know nothing about it. The lord of the manor lives far away, and his agent is sleepy chap If he squalls, then I'll claim rights under the duchy or as a commoner, and If the duchy squeaks I'll claim under the lord of the manor
About this time Mary Aggett's mother died Jos pitied her greatly, the cottage was so lonely for the girl His heart grew .soft when he saw her in black. "Bless me!" he said "If I lived in that cottage, it would save me half my journey every day But I won't risk it."
Shortly after this a great surprise came on him. One morning he found in bis "new take" a flock of sheep all branded "M. A." "Gracious bless us I" exclaimed Jos. "However came the sheep there? I'll run ask Polly Sho may know. She must have seen some one drive 'em this way."
He went to the cottage and spoke in heat: "Mary, some owdacious radicals have been turning sheep into my new take during the night. They are all marked 'M. A "They are mine, Jos." "Yours, Polly?" "Yes It was very kind and considerate of you. Jus, to inclose so many acres for mo I thank you with all my heart.' "Inclose for you! It is my new take!*' "There is some misunderstanding," answered the girl. "The new take is certainly mino. I have l*cn to the lord of the manor and havo bought it—25 acres at so much gold per acre I have the papers all drawn out." "Yours! Where did you get the money?'
That was a question Mary did not answer. After much consideration Jos said falterlngly: "This Is a pretty gol How am I to be paid for the walling?" "I'm sure I can't think, Jos." "But it has engaged me off and on for 18 months Fifty pounds wouldn't repay my labor. I can't afford"— "I really am sorry for you.'' "By glngerl" exclaimed Jos. "Th6re Is only ono way out of it that I can see, and that is by changing the brand on the sheep from A to and by lumping together my wall and your land." "Well, I'm not particular," answered Mary, and so the matter *kbb settled.
They were married, aid Jos found that he had seoured not only a very capital bit of land, but with It a thrifty, witty and wise wife.
At the close of the first twelvemonth there were three in the house in'the place of two At the end of tho second year the number had mounted to five, for the second addition to the family oonsisted in twins
But the conscience of Jos was uneasy Something stood between him and Polly Ho had a secret from her, and that is over a barrier to connubial unity Christmas was approaching. Jos resolved to make a oloan breast of it and tell Mary every thing.
Christmas arrived, and Jos put off his Sunday coat and flowered "wesklt," took his lever and went forth Polly," said ho, "como along. I'vo a surprise for you.' Ho deliberately throw down a portion of his now take wall, discovered the lid of the stono chest, levered It asldo and then jumped Into tho box. Next moment he rose out of It blank with despair, trembling with disappointment His treasure was gone.
By the sldo of the cairn and overthrown wall stood his wife watching him with a smile on her cherry lips and a twinkle in hor bright eyes A toddling child clung to her skirts and she held ono of tho twins In ench arm. "PollI" ho gasped. "By gum, I'm a ruined man I I've lost everything. I've been robbed."
Then she laughed, and when she laughed the child holding her skirts laughed also, and tho babes in her arms chuckled and orowod. "No, Jos Ralnyday," she said, 'you have lost nothing, you have gained much.
"TOtTRSl WHERE DID TOO GET THE MONEY?"
I found your treasure and 1 disposed of it to lbs antiquarian gentleman who boys the arrowheads With the money I bought the land, the steep, the cows—and you."
Then Jos scrambled out of the grave and tell a-laughlng and be langbed till the tears ran down his cheeks. "By ginger 1" said he. "Woman's wit outweighs man's wisdom. My true treasure trove ia bora"—he clapped bis wife on the shoulder—'' and it's one neither crown, nor docby, nor lord of the manor, nor parson, nor the 148 commoner* have one particle of right over no more nor a pin's bead, but la all—all and undivided my own And by gum!"—be kissed Mary, then the child In each arm, then the child at

THE HONEYMOON AND A CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE.^
A New Method of Hunting the GrixxfyWintering En the loHmito Vallej—The JPfeglec*«d Christmas Dinner—A Narrative of Fact.
BT F. A. OBER.
All our''friends said we were foolish, and really 1 suppose we were—foolish in the first place to fall in love foolish to get married and! lastly, foolish to spend our honeymoon in the Yosemite.
Yes, they declared that to be the crowning act of all our foolish deeds, and they washed ,their hands and cleared their skirts of us entirely But, bless them, we didn't care Alicia and I had fallen in love with each other just because we couldn't help it, and we didn't want to either—that is, we didn't want to "help it." And we cared not a straw what our friends thought or did so long as they let us entirely alone.
And at the end of the week, when tho others started for the return trip, we proved the integrity of our intentions by remaining behind. It was then late in September, and soon, the guardian of the valley told us. the first snowflakes would fly and not long after the Yosemite would be closed entirely to the outside world. "Yes. indeedy,"he said, "there won't be nobody in here except now and then a logging team and whoever's left over. So I'd advise you two to get out mighty soon." "But we don't want to get out," I exclaimed, and my wife nodded her head affirmatively "We want to stay here all winter, all alone." "Yes. and don't you know of some nice little cabin we can hire?" asked Alicia. "Any kind of .a hut will do, so long as it can be made warm and comfortable. We want to stay all by ourselves." "ShoI You don't say! Yes, I do know of one. It's that log cabin over the river. But it'll be awful lonesome,, let me tell you. There won't be nobody but me within a mile and p'rhaps half a dozen fam'lies scattered over the whole seven mile stretch of the valley." it
What! Do you mean that darling little log hut among tho apple trees, with the tiny flower garden in front and the river flowing by?" "That's the one. The man who built it has gone east staid here one winter, and it was too lonely for him If you reely want it, I can put you in possession at once." "If wo want it!" I exclaimed, ready to hug the old man on the spot. And I was almost afraid Alicia would hug him then and there, but she didn't, only her eyes shone, and she clapped her hands for joy. "Why, we don't want anything else in this wide, wide world!" she exclaimed. "It will be perfect, just too heavenly for anything I" "Well, guess you'll want a little something else," rejoined the dear old man, "some pervislons, for instance, fuel, and the like."
At this sudden descent to sublunary and substantial things our countenances fell. We hadn't thought but that we could live on air perhaps or on ambrosial neotar. We looked at each other doubtfully.
Tho old man noted our disappointment and hastened to add: "Well, now, don't feel bad about it I'll arrange for all that Fact is, the cabin's supplied with pooty much everything except fresh meat—flour, meal, bedding, blankets, cooking things— and if you haven't got the money with you we'll trust you till spring opens for all you want" "Oh, we've got money enough,'' I re* marked. "I'll pay you any price you ask and feel forever indebted to you into tho bargain." And I wrung the old man's hand so warmly that he turned aside with a suspicious moisture in his eyes and remarked under his breath and with a sigh: "Dear me! I was young myself once. It's nice to be young."
The hotel closed the very next day, but none too soon for us, as we were wild to get installed in our new quarters. The old guardian showed us where the provisions were stored, instructed us how to make afire in the great fireplace and how to cook over the open hearth with tho primitive utensils of our ancestors. There wore two rooms in the hut, each about 14 feet square, one being for a bedroom and tho other for kitchen, dining room and parlor. Tho great oak logs were well chinked with clay, the stout floor timbers neatly covered with pirio boards, and a little square window in each room looked out over the broad and winding river. Tho frost had not yet touched the flowers in the garden, and soon the best of them were potted and Indoors, where, with the ferns and the few pictures we had brought with us,

WINTER CABIN THE TOSEM1TB. great trees hung with fleecy draperies. Then we staid within doors almost entirely, except that I sallied out every day to cut wood for the insatiate fireplace until a pile was heaped against the cabin almost as big as the hut itself The time passed quickly enough, and Christmas day at last overtook us, finding us busy and happy, but with a larder sorely depleted.
Alicia and I were out in the snow gathering holly and mistletoe for the decorating of the cabin when our friend, the old guardian, came along, a rifle in the hollow of bis arm and a cur dog at bis heels. "Bet a dollar yon folks haven't a pound of fresh meat in the house," was his first remark after greetings were over, "and I've called to see if Mr. Alfred won't go with me on a little hunt" "Yes, dear, do go," said my brave little wife, bat her eyes were tear gathering, I noticed, as she took down the rifle from above the fireplace and placed it in my bands "I'm not afraid to May alone daring the daytime, and then, you know, I've that podding to make, which will keep me busy while you're gone."
So I kissed her and left bear, and yet my heart misgave me as I turned aroand an hour later while climbing the brail up lbs cliffs and sew ber still standing in the
doorway, watching us wistfully. It is a stiff climb up to Glacier point, and by the time we had arrived at the forest covered plateau the exercise in the cool crisp air had started my blood ooursing rapidly, and I was in fine spirits. My friend directed me to take the trail to the left, while he swung around to the right promising to join me within three hours' time. "Shoot whatever you see," was his final word at parting. "It won't be much anyhow, but remember we're out for meat!"
That was unfortunate advice, for not more than an hour later, coming suddenly upon a strange track in the forest and shortly after looking ahead and seeing a

queer but immense gray creature shambling through thesnowand being at a loss what to call It, I thought a well directed bullet might disclose its identity and so threw up my rifle and let drive.
My friends would have felt perfectly justified in calling mo a fool .could they have seen me make that foolish shot and have seen the big gray monster turn around and disclose to my astonished gaze the unmistakable head and hideous fangs of a grizzly bearl I had never seen one before, except in a cage, but there was no doubt whatever about this one. And he left me not long In doubt as to his intentions either when he wheeled about with a snarl and a growl and took the ta*all In re on
Thartfttlnfentlonal move saved my life, for, seeing me go over, my pursuer rushed fiercely after and could not restrain his impetus until well out on the rock. It was extremely slippery, incased as it was in ice, with a sheet of snow atop, and he had hard work to keep his footing, and as he stood there, growling terribly and shifting his position uneasily, yet looking down and all around for me, a germ of hope came into my mind. I saw that it would not take much to send him crashing down upon the rocks at the foot of the cliff, and I trembled lest he should get off the rock before 1 had given him a little jolt 1 could see him quite clearly, as he wasn't more than SO feet away, and that Instant also he saw me. wedged into the crevice back of him.
He tried to scramble about and reverse his position, but as he turned I drew a bead just behind his shoulder and sped a bullet there. His situation was precarious enough at the first but now in his frantic struggles to turn about—atod perhaps made giddy by the two wounds—he swayed considerably. Into the ice sheet and the snow he sent his crooked claws, making desperate efforts to regain bis balance, but another ball crashed into his ear and that settled him. Over he went, clawing and fighting the empty air, whirling down, down, through space, until he wis dashed with a terrible shock upon the rocka 8,000 feet below.
I dared not look over for fear I might share his fate, but after a prayer of thankfulness at my escape I slowly crawled to the brow of the precipice. The old man met me soon after and bad to support me over a portion of the downward trail, I was so unnerved.
After a detour of several miles we finally reached the base of the cliff over which gristly bad fallen, and there we found him, a very much used up bear. His skin, however, was not so badly torn bat it later served as a rag for our cabin floor, though Itwas long before Alicia could look upon It with composure.
The bear meat the old guardian said, was tender and toothsome—probably from the pnnniiing it got—bat Alicia and I could not bring ourselves to taste it In fact, though our hearts sang with joy and we were thankful for our blessings, with the true Christinas spirit yet we could not do justice to that Christmas dinner. Even the podding, which the old man declared a conspicuous sucoees, was neglected, for my little wife did nothing bat shudder, and, throwing her arms around my neck, whisper, with her lips close to my ear, "Dearest, I shall never let yoo out of my tight again!"

The blood was oozing from a wound in his flank, but that was nothing more than a flea bite to his bearship, though good excuse enough for revenge. I looked about me and saw to my horror that I was between him and the edge of the cliff, which at this point descends sheer 8,000 feet Projecting over the edge of the precipice was an immense rock like the bowsprit of a ship and some 16 or 20 feet in length. It may look like an insane move that I made tracks for this perilous position, 8,000 feet above the valley floor, but tbere seemed nothing else to do unless I went straight toward the bear. I remember that I felt then that my time had come and wondered confusedly what Alicia would say and do when, perhaps days or weeks later, she should view my mangled remains at the foot of the great cliff. However, I ran for all I was worth, and, as I ran on, mechanically ejected the empty shell from my rifle and slipped in another cartridge. It was a six shooter, and I resolved if only for Alicia's sake not to die until I had given grizzly the full benefit of every shot. He was shuffling along clumsily, but relentlessly, and was close upon me as I slipped over the bank. If I had carried out my hastily conceived plan of going out on the protruding rook, I should not have lived to tell this story, but just as I reached its base I slid down into a crevice behind and a little to one side of it V--,
