Dick Barron was ono of tho moat daring among the pioneers, aud he ap peared to bo ono of tho most unfortu nate. Together with other neighbors, DieK Hail renioveil from Uentral Col orado to tha western slops of the Si crra Nevada mountains. Uis home was in a wildly romantic and beautiful spot, and fortune appeared to smilo ur- on him, so far as his pecuniary matters were concerned: for Ins laud yielded well in the summer and tho mines gave fair yield of "yellow dross" in.tbo oth er months. But death camo to the familvof Dick, The first stroke fell upon his eldest boy, a lad of twelve years of ago. The littlo fellow was fond of hunting, and. with his rifle, he would often venture a considerable (distance from home, and somotimes was very successful in bring ing down small game. But ono day he was absent mucu boyond Ins usual timo. and a search discovered his mantzl remains lying at tho bottom of a ledge of rocks. Ho had evidently fallen from abovo and thus met a sudden and cruel death. Tho blow fell heavily upon Dick and his wife, but tho man bore bravely up under his grief, whilo tho woman gave way to melancholy. Not long after a second child, a little girl of five years of age, sickened nnd died, It now appeared as if Sirs. Bar ron would go mad, and for a timo het ngony was terriblo to beheld. But this gradually subdued, and tha mother be gan to sink rapidly, and in a short time after she followed her littlo ones, leav ing still an other child, a daughter three years ot ago, to tho care of the stricken lather. The grief of Dick was not of an ex plosive character, but it was decn and enduring. Still ho had somothing yet to livo for, aud ho went to work like a bravo man to provide for his littlo Eva. Winter had set in, and Dick had come to tho conclusion to mako as much as possible in the mines before spring, and then to sell his property and go to San Francisco, where he could secure the advantages of education for his lit tlo ono. For some timo tho neighbors of Dick, as weil as himself, had been much an noyed by theft. Several lambs and sheep had been killed, and poultry in uirKu quantities Btoien. mere was a difference of opinion with regard to these depredations. Somo said they were committed by Indians, others by wolves, and othors by bears. But as no snow had fallen, and as the p-round was frozen very hard, no tracks could D Men. Oue morning, however, the alarm was given. A light snow had fallen during the night, aud trucks were discovered. A largo grizzly bear was tho thief and despoiler, aud ho must bo hunted down at onoe. It was not supposed that they Would bo obliged to bo far to find tlm animal, and so Dick seized his rifle, and joined the party, leaving his child still in bed. The hacks wero fresh, and a dozen excited men were soon on the trail. In a short timo they were on the monster; but each man paused, turning his eyes toward Dick, and waiting for him to speak. The bear was standing near the cabin door of Barron, gazing at the child who was seated in the doorway, watching the movements of the animal with evident curiosity, but without ex hibiting any signs of fear. Dick felt his very heart sink within him as ho saw this; but his weakness passed away in an instant, and without removing his eyes from tho bear, he asked: "Men, can yon use your rifles with stoady hand?" "Yes," replied soveral. "Thon raiso them and havo them ready. Bo sura your aim is good, and that every bullet would be buried in the body of the beast in case of firing. But hold your shot until I giy0 the word." Instantly ovcry rifle was raised. Dick moved carefully around toward tho back of the cabin. It wns Inn in. tention to enter tho window, seizo his little ono, draw her back, and closing the door save her. But now the animal began to utter deepgrowls, and advance slowly toward Eva. The father saw this, and exclaimed : "My darling, get up, go into thehouse, nuu ciuse we aoor. The ohild looked up, smiled, and then arose, attempting to do tho bidding of the father; but the monster advanced with a fearful howl, and as the door was closed against him, he struck it withhis nugepaws, shattering it into splinters, I feared this. Fire; but be careful and not injure the child I" cried the latner. He discharged his own piece, and at the same timo a dozen other rifles rang out;, ine bear gave a most tearful nowl, turned ripen his enemies, clnrinif anon them with eyes of Are and seemed just on ine point of springing npon them. Suddenly, however, the beast appeared to change his mind. Turning quickly around, tho monster entered the cabin. A shriek was instantly heard, and the latner rushed forward, knife in hand, to save his darling. But he was too lato, for with a bound, the beast had dashed through the window, holding Eva in his teeth. Off he ran with all his spood toward uie uiguest mountain peak, while the cries of the little one came back to tho ears of the half-frantic father. And now the monster begin its ascent, bearing its precious burden. Onward it went and upward, climbing forward, as rocks towering above rocks arose to ob struct his pathway. All this time it kept up its fearful howling, and for a time tho wails of tho child were heard; but they became fainter and fainter, un til tho sound could no longer bo distin guished. At length it dissupeared from view behind a jutting ledge. When the intention of the animal was first inado apparent, a kind of terror seized upon every heart, and a cry of agony burst from every Up. And won might they have shuddered: for they now knew full well that tho ferocious animal was a she-bear, and that she was carrying tho child to her eyrie den as food for her cubs. For a timo tho father had stood with fuco blanched with despair, and with form trembling like the browned leaves which still clung to the trees around him. But that weakness was only momentary, for ko becamo again the invincible father ; and, with the speed of an antelope, he rushed for tho cliffs, his oyes faxed upon the point where the bear had disappeared with his loved darling. To any but the father, and to him under any other circumstances, the journey would not only have been a weary, but almost an impossiblo ono, But tho anxious parent paused not for an instant. Indeed, ho seemed to gain new strength and courage at every siep. Now a fearful rocky ledgo would obstruct his way, but ho would mount upward, making a ladder of tho frail twigs which hung to their sides. On ward and upward until the giddy height upon which he stood was hsrriblo to contemplate. Hut he did not look back, ilis child was further on. And now the point was reached whero the bear was last seen. At this instant a strange sound fell npon tho ears of the father. At lirst it was only tho cry of a child. Then, mingling with it camo tho fierce growl of the she-bear, and following this, the yelping of cubs. Oh, what agony filled the father's bosom at that moment! could it be possiblo that tho ravenous beasts wero already in tho act of de vouring his treasure? Dick sank upon the solid rock, while the perspiration rolled in streams from his face and body. A blindness camo over him, and ho felt himself unable to move. Then came a voico from below. It exclaimed: "Conrage, Dick, I'll be with you soon, and wiu yet savo your child. Uhilil! child! murmured Luck as ho started up. "Yes, I must not give way to this weakness so long as my child yet lives ; and I can hear her voice even now. Tho poor father becamo strong again He moved forward o few steps, and pac ed around a point of rock, from behind which came the sounds. A terriblo sight met his gaze I A littlo girl was lying upon her back upon tho rock Tho monster was near her, holding her down with ono of his huge paws, winch rested upon her breast, ihe little ono liad ceased her strag glings, evidently in despair, nnd was now sobbing ns if its poor heart was broken. I ho bear was bleeding pro fusely, and had evidently fallen from exhaustion. Tho bullets which had been sent into her bodv had given her, no doubt, her mortal wound ; but sho was tenacious of life, and could ac complish much after that wound was re ceivou, but beforo her ltfo was yielded Liko tho parent who now sought his daughter, tho lirst thought of the beu was lor her young, and even in her dy ing agony she clung to the food she had brought them. Only a few feet higher up were the cubs. They saw tho mother, and they appeared to anticipate a great feast, for they were struggling to roach it, whilo they lifted their young voices in chorus with that of their parent. Diek know that he must save his child soon or it would bo too late. Soon ho resolved to creep as near as possiblo to the monster, nnd then spring upon her with nis unite ; tor, in Ihb liasto aud ex citemcut, ho had dropped his rifle, Just as he was moving forward, the bear turned, and their eyes mot. Tho dying beast uttered a terrific howl, and then looked down at her victim. Then she glanced at her own cubs, and again toward Dick. Her expression seemed to say : "Yon will have no mercy on my young, why should I have npon yours?" It was a dreadful suspenso for Dick lie was stttisned that the bear could liv only a few moments. But what might not occur in those moments ? A single blow with her huge paw and his darling wouiu bo torn mto fragments. A move ment upon his part might cause the blow to fall. Tho hunter becomes so accustomed to tin, varions animals with which he comes in contact that he can almost read their very thoughts. Their actions can nearly always bo interpreted cor rectly, bo was it with Dick now. He saw tho intentions of the bear, aud Knew that his own actions must be prompt and powerful, or it would be too lato. He clutched his knife, and with his arm nerved with desperation, hope, and a fatherly lovo, he sprang directly at the throat of the monster, who received him with a tremendous howl and with mouth wide open. Had tho beast been uninjured the struggle would havo been of short dur ation, for tho odds between a man and a grizzly bear would bo as great as that between a lion and a mouse. But the monster wbb now dying, and death was near. Sho retained all her courage and will, but not her strength. Dick gave her several rapid blows with his knife. She groaned almost as a numan being would have done, and fell upon her side. But she recovered in an instant, and striking Dick, she threw him to the earth. But the father had seized his beloved daughter, and throwing lier a little apart, she was now out of danger. Not so with himself. He was now stretched flat upon his back, and both the paws of tho beast wero upon his breast, and he could feel tho sharp claws entering Mb flesh. The two great, glassy eyes glared into his own, the terrible growl rang in his ears, the jaws wore extended, tho long white teeth glistoned, and the blood-red tongue was ready to lap up his blood. He struggled, but could not move. A mo ment Moro, and all would be over for him forever, now tho death-grip was fixed upon him. And, to add to hisagonv, he had Been his child spring off and run toward the edge of the cliff. It would be dashed to pieces in falling, even as its brother had been. But could this be a misfortune, since the father must die? Would It not ba better for her to join her loved ones in another world than to remain in this cold one, alone 1 Just at that instant, however, there camo the report of a riflo. The bear relaxed her hold and fell heavily upon the body of Dick. He rolled the ani mal oil and sprung to his feet. A friend had arrived in time, and not an instant too soon. Ho was holding Eva in his arms. She was not hurt. Tho father could not help shedding tears over his rescued darling, for never before had sho appeared half so dear to him. But he resolved not to expose er to any further danger of tho kind, and so ho took an almost immediate de parture for the home he had selected in the Ctoldon State. Aft ACTRESS' GOOD FORTUNE. How Little Lotta fonqnerrd SacresH liy Mlieer Hard Work, Otto Burbank, says the St. Louis Noted Men's Rcrrcntlon. From William the Conqueror down wards, the chief delight ot British sov ereigns has been in the hunting field, though some have varied it with other more peaceful pursuits. Charles II. for instance spent a good deal of timo in a chemical laboratory. Prince Rupert was devoted to mechanical pursuits, and in the discovery of mezzotinto confer red a solid benefit on mankind. Godol- phin's life was divided between the Council Chamber and the cock-pit. It is curious to observe how men who have been noted for their polish and culture as writers or conversationalists have, in their leisure moments, found a strange pleasure in associating themselves with sordid vulgarity. Prior, ono of tho most elegant of our minor poets, con stantly spent whole evenings in chatting ith a soldier and his slattern wife in a low public house, joking and being joked, lurner, tho painter, had similar tastes. Leonardo de Vinci felt intense pleasure, or perhaps, an inexplicable fascination, in contemplating filth and gatbago. Ho would gizo for hours on the slimy streams that crawl out the slums of ilorence. But to turn to less reprehensible amuse ments. Tho Lord Chief Justico Saun ders, whose character has been bo ad mirably sketched by Roger North, de oted his leisure time to practicing on an old Virginal. Milton selected the more dignified companionship of an organ. Innocent III., probably tho greatest man who over sat on the throne of St. Peter, received his graver amuse ments of playing nine-pins with the po tentates of Europe, by gossiping famil- arly with an old monk on a seat at a fountain in tho Vatican. Ho would listen for hours to the stories und pointless anecdotes withwhish his hum ble companion, who had traveh ; a good deal, regaled him. Petavius, ono of tho most learned of the Jesuits, when engaged on ono of his principal works, used, at the end of every two hours, to rise rapidly, twirl Ins chair about for hve minutes. Bacon, Cowley, Sir Wil liam Temsle, Fvelyn, Buffon and Ad dist were accustomed to interrupt their literary Btudies by seeking the stiuiu lation of a walk round their garden, and havo all of them recorded their delight in Adam a principal pursuit. Steph enson, the inventor of tho locomotive, when a child, used to sit in a bog mod eling clay engines and constructing min aturo wind-mills. Toward tho close of his eventful life, his leisure was amused by his farm and gardens. It was in these occupations that the great engi neer spent tho fewyears that were left to him after quitting tho career of h gh minded industry in which ho won fume for himself, and conferred a lasting boon to mankind. Dr. Johnson, ac cording to lioswell, found nmusemeut in treasuring scraps of orange peel Huzzy-nunEy" An O'er True Tnlc ol'Truvel on the I'cnuut Itond By a Traveler with His Eyes 0sn.

"Will you love mo when I'm old, 'when the silver tints the gold?' " "J ust as well a hundred years from now darling lime cannot change me." This seemed to satisfy her; her head sank gracefully upon his shoulder; he pulled ono corner of the shawl up, and all I could hear after that was an ex plosivo concussion about every two mintues.
