In a little solitary cabin, nestling like a bird's nest among the pines and cedars on Rocky Ridge, Milton Fisher was breathing his last. Three persmas stood by the bedside of the dying man—the old gray haired m doctor from over in the valley and True and Ivy. Fisher's motherless children. True was a robust. manly looking boy of fourteen, while his sister, two Years younger. was a sweet, earnest faced child, with eyes like the violets bloom- ' ing in the canyoas and hair like the warmest sntilmeains gilding the crests of the Rockies. The old doctor's eyes were moist when they rested pityingly upon , the children, so soon to be left orphans imbed. as they knelt and tearfully lis- tened to their father's last words. -Trite." the dying man said, placing his thin hand on the lad's brown curls, ”son and Ivy stick to each other and stick to the little claim in the canyon. Try not to feel too lonesome when your ' dad's gone. Your Uncle Jim will come as soon as he hears; the word. The doc- tor has given me his promise to write to Jim. and I know he'll come back and look after you. Remember to stick to the claim, for, mind I tell you. you'll ! find yeller dirt there sonic time. Stay 1 here in the cabin till Jim comes; then he'll go to work on the claim. Hell find the gold, for it's there!" And with his old faith in the valuable - Mess of the claim in the canyon strong as ever. Milton Fisher passed away. ! It was a hard struggle for those lonely children to fight life's battle without father or mother. Bnt they went bravely to work to make the most of their cir- ctuatstancee. The Fishers wete very poor. Two years before Milton Fisher. whose foot- steps hard luck had always seemed to dog with remorseless persistency. had joined an emigrant train, starting from Missouri to Colorado. They hail brought nothing but themeelves amid a friss' house- hold goods in a dilapidated looking cov- ered wagon. drawn by one mule and a stout Indian pony. After the father's death some of the settlers in the valley tried te persuade Ivy to leave the isolated old cabin on Rocky Ridge. But ehe would not go. "When urged to do so she always said: "No. True and I must stick together, 'cause pap said to. I know were mighty poor. Ma we can work. and I know well get along some way till Uncle Jim conies." True hail intended to rent a piece of laud in the valley and pnt in small crop: but the mule fell front the aud broke its neck, so he was forced to th. something else. He hired himself to a fanner three milers distant to help clear ora some irrigating ditches. He did not receive a matt's wages for his se nse,. and cousitlerffig the cost of living in that part of the west his earnings amounted to a mere pittance. But Ivy was a little in msehold econo- mist. and they managed to get Along notch better than might hare been imagined until True met with an acci- dent.

Ivy was his faithful little nurse, and was ever readyto cheer him up when his patience showed signe of giving was It was in the fall of the year when True cut bin foot. The deciduous treee began to idled their foliage. lea Uncle Jim had not come yet. The doctor had written three letters, addressing them to a frontier posbdfiee in Wyoming where Jim Fisherhie i heel, lest beard from. But no answer came back, and as Jim wie. a kind t roller, spending his time it. intuiting. trapping and mining. it was likely that he did not receive the letters. Now that True was disabled, the lonely young dwellers on Rocky Ridge felt their :herniation and orphanage more keenly, and longed for the presence of Uncle Jim. Montana gave piece to winter chill, but brought no tidings of the wanderer. Trite's foot proved more obstinate about healing than had at. first berm pre- dicted.

Some- thing of ate beauty and sublimity of the mountain scenery stirred the soul of the little girl, and she murmured to her- self: -It is Christmas eve, and he Was poor, too—Wad born in a manger, the good book says. But how lovely he has made the whole earth!" Then her thoughts returned to True. "If 1 just had something good for True's supper l'd feel a sight better. He's weak and discouraged like anti don't relish potatoes, cornbread and dried beef, and that's the best there is in the cabin. I might ride down to Bullies' store and mac hint to let me have an apple or orange. I expect they're awful dear now and he's mighty close, but maybe if I'd go and ataik him he'd let me have something for True. I hate to face old Buffiee, he's so crusty; but it's for True, and rli go." Putting a few sticks of wood on the fireplace she wrapped am old faded nnbia aniund her head anti prepared to leave the cabin. "He won't wake before I get back," she said, looking toward the sleeper. "I'll make Bonny travel her best." IL IVY WAS SOON grEEDINO DOWN .THY MOUNTAIN TRAIL.

She sang softly about her simple house-

"Poor True!" she amid to herself.' "I

she was mending for True, then she

arose and went to the little window and

looked out. Far up on the Rockien.

IVY WAS HIS FAITHFUL IXITLE NURSE.

In a little solitary cabin, nestling like

a bird's nest among the pines and cedars

on Rocky Ridge, Milton Fisher was

breathing his last.Three persmas stood by the bedside of

the dying man—the old gray haired

mdoctor from over in the valley and True

and Ivy. Fisher's motherless children.

True was a robust. manly looking boy •

of fourteen, while his sister, two Years

younger. was a sweet, earnest faced

child, with eyes like the violets bloom- '

ing in the canyoas and hair like the

warmest sntilmeains gilding the crests of

the Rockies. The old doctor's eyes were

moist when they rested pityingly upon ,

the children, so soon to be left orphans

imbed. as they knelt and tearfully lis-

tened to their father's last words.

-Trite." the dying man said, placing

his thin hand on the lad's brown curls,

”son and Ivy stick to each other and •

stick to the little claim in the canyon.

Try not to feel too lonesome when your '

dad's gone. Your Uncle Jim will come

as soon as he hears; the word. The doc-

tor has given me his promise to write to

Jim. and I know he'll come back and

look after you. Remember to stick to

the claim, for, mind I tell you. you'll !

find yeller dirt there sonic time. Stay 1

here in the cabin till Jim comes; then

he'll go to work on the claim. Hell find

the gold, for it's there!"

And with his old faith in the valuable-

Mess of the claim in the canyon strong

as ever. Milton Fisher passed away. !

It was a hard struggle for those lonely

children to fight life's battle without

father or mother. Bnt they went bravely

to work to make the most of their cir-

ctuatstancee.The Fishers wete very poor. Two

years before Milton Fisher. whose foot-

steps hard luck had always seemed to

dog with remorseless persistency. had

joined an emigrant train, starting from

Missouri to Colorado. They hail brought

nothing but themeelves amid a friss' house-

hold goods in a dilapidated looking cov-

ered wagon. drawn by one mule and a

stout Indian pony.After the father's death some of the

settlers in the valley tried te persuade

Ivy to leave the isolated old cabin on

Rocky Ridge. But ehe would not go.

"When urged to do so she always said:

"No. True and I must stick together,

'cause pap said to. I know were mighty

poor. Ma we can work. and I know well

get along some way till Uncle Jim

conies."True hail intended to rent a piece of

laud in the valley and pnt in small

crop: but the mule fell front the aud

broke its neck, so he was forced to th.

something else. He hired himself to a

fanner three milers distant to help clear

ora some irrigating ditches. He did not

receive a matt's wages for his sense,.

and cousitlerffig the cost of living in that

part of the west his earnings amounted

to a mere pittance.But Ivy was a little in msehold econo-

and was ever readyto cheer him up when

It was in the fall of the year when

likely that he did not receive the letters.

Now that True was disabled, the lonely

young dwellers on Rocky Ridge felt their

:herniation and orphanage more keenly,

and longed for the presence of Uncle

Jim.Montana gave piece to winter chill,

but brought no tidings of the wanderer.

Trite's foot proved more obstinate

down the western slope, touched them

into dazzling metalescent colors. Some-

thing of ate beauty and sublimity of the

mountain scenery stirred the soul of

the little girl, and she murmured to her-

self:-It is Christmas eve, and he Was poor,

"If 1 just had something good for
