If that's the kind o’ men you ar’ at Black Hill, I want to git out quick.” “But it is smallpox," persisted one of the men.“More’s the pity.Think o’ that sick man drlvin away with that lectio gal alongside o’ him—drivin away to his death! There may hev bin a wife and mother—other children.Mebbo they was dead in the wagon.Men, you did e cruel, wicked thing!" “But think of the BO men the smallpox took out o’ the camp at Red Hock last fall!" “But I ain’t thinkln o’ that.I’m tliiukin o’ a man drivin off to die, with a lectio gal sittin up alongside o’ him!" He packed up some provisions, rolled up Ids blankets, and, picking up a water jug aud his rifle, he said: “I’m goin to overhaul ’em aud stand by ’em unless 1 find both dead!” A score of protests were hurled at him, but the mau stepped forth Into the black night without a word in reply and almost Instantly disappeared from sight.At noon next day the wag on reappeared.Joe »f Washoe was driving,and on the seat beside him was a child.When the wagon halted, he unharnessed and turned loose the horses, made a fire, and then, climbing half way up the hill, he called to the men 20 rods above him: “When 1 found the wagon last night the man was dead and the leetle gal was prayin to God.Thar was a moth er and two more children, but they ar’ dead.Don’t come a-nigh us.The leetle gal's touched, and I’m sure to come down!” That night the fever came to the child, and men who crept down the trail heard lier crying out and heard Joe talking and singing to lier.The next day lie reported her as dreadfully sick, and so it went on for days and days.It was time for him to develop the disease, and each morning as the men crept down the trail to leave provisions on the flat rock they feared he would not show up.But, strangely enough, the danger passed him by.one morning, when lie stood up on the wagon with the girl in his arms, it was ?c.brn ns a sign that the crisis had passed, and 300 men gathered on the hill above and cheered the pair.It was a week after that when lie set tire to the wagon, called for fresh clothes and en me up the trail into camp with the girl wrapped in a blanket.Nobody was permitted even to see the tip of her nose until she had been dressed up as a boy from old garments cut over.Then she was placed on the head of a barrel in the center of camp, •uid half the men cheered and the other half wept.She was a girl of about 7, pale and wan from lier sickness, hut there was never a pit or a scar to show how she had suffered.By that wo knew that Joe of Washoe had watched over her with more than a father's cure.She was fatherless and motherless among strangers.Fright and ill ness had so bemimtied lier bruin that «he could remetul>er nothing, not even hie family name.She paid that they had traveled for days and days, but from whence she could not tell TV-' Wellington St.nrfor^Agr.’Wood’g Phofjktdins, The Grent Femerlij.Sold snd recommended by all druggists in Osnsri* Only relt Able medicine dieroTered tsii 'i>*eknge* ptarinteeri In cure all forms of SexuAi W^akneae.all effect* of abuse or excess.Mental Worry, FxceaelTe use of To* baeoo.Oplam or StlmulanU.Mailed an receipt of price, one paekage fi.aix.16.CM# »#«!
