"At last for the hunter a; faint, light played along the, horizon, and he rose to follow It and, he reached that light at last and stepped Into the broad sun shine. :, Then before hira rose the al mighty mountains of Dry Facts and Realities. The clear sunshine played on them, and tha tops were lost In the clouds. At the foot many paths; ran up.

Victory was very near.' Nevertheless, after awhile the path grew steeper. Be needed all his breath for climbing, - and , the singing died away. On the right and left rose huge rocks, devoid of Lichen or moss, and in the lavalike ; earth chasms yawned. Her and there he saw a sheen of white bones. Now, too. the path began to grow less and less marked. Then It became a mere trace with a footmark here and there; then It coased altogeth er. He sang no more, but struck forth a path for himself until he reached; a mighty wall of rock, smooth and with out break, stretching as far as the! eye could see.'

They had seemed low before, TUsgr were of an im meas urable height aowk, from crown to foun dation surronnded by walla of: rock that rose tier above tier in mighty cir cles. Upon them played tbe eternal sunshine. ' He uttered a wild cry. 7 He bowed hi mself on. to ' the", earthy and when he roae his face was white. In absolute silence he walked on. He was ''Very silent now. ":l In those high re gions the rarefied air is hard to breathe by those born in the valleys. Every breath, he drew "hurt v him; and the blood oozed out from the tips of his fingers. Before the next wall of rock he began to werk. The height of this seemed infinite. f and 1 he ; said; nothing. The sound of his tool rang night and day, upon the iron rocks into which he cut steps. Years passed over him, yet he worked on, but the wall, towered up always above him to heaven. Some times he prayed that a little moss or lichen might spring up on those bare walls, to be a companion to him, but it never came." ' ' ' ' The stranger watched the boy's face. "And the years rolled on. He count ed them by the steps: be had cut--, few for a year, ; only a few ' He sang no more. He said no more. 'I will do this or that; he only worked And at nizht when, the twilight settled down there looked ont at him from the holes and crevices in . the. rocks many strange wild faces. 'Stop 'your work, you lonely, man, and speak to us,' they1 cried. . "'My salvation is In work. If I should stop but for one moment, you would creep down ; upon, me,' he re plied.

He put himself; to sleep, 't Sleep. Is very; tranquil. You are not . lonely ; when you are asleep, neither do your hands ache nor your heart; : And the hunter laughed between his teeth. VHave 1 torn from my heart all that was dearest?" Have I wandered alone in the. land of night? r Have 1! resisted temptation? Have; 1 dwelt where the voice, of my kind is never heard, and labored1 alone to lie. down and be food for you, ye harpies? 'He laughed fiercely and the echoes of despair slunk away, for the laugh. of a brave, strong heart Is a death blow to them. . "Nevevhele88 they crept out again and looked at him. , , 'Do yotf know that your hair is white,' they, said, that your hands begin to tremble like a child's? Do you see that the point of your shuttle Is gone? It Is cracked already. If you should ever climb this stair," they said, it will be your last. You will, never climb another.' "And he answered, '1 know it!' and worked on. "The old, thin bands cut the stones ill and Jaggedly for; the fingers were stlT y and bent The beauty and the strength of the man were gone."

Benefit to Farmers Exporting Horses at Advanced Prices. A permanent and very important Jjft, Paul institution is , Frank lams' estab lishment of imported draft and coach horses. During the nearly twenty years that Mr.Iams has been engaged in trans planting the best Eur spean horse blood to this country, ho' has won in wide cir cles a name as the progressive horseman of the Trans-Mississippi country. A visit to Mr. lams' barn is of inter est and benefit to all striving for the im provement of the western horse. There are at present about forty head of full- bloods, ranging in age from two to seven years, and rangingin weight from 1,600 to 2,500 pounds. v rThey are mostly black and the breeds " representing Black Percherona, French Draft, Clydes, Shires and Coachers. Among the lot is found the largest aged stallion,' the largest mare and the largest three year-old, stal lion (a Black Percheron, weight 2,250 pounds) in Nebraska and Iowa, : " , lams has altoeether imnorted nearly 200 horp.es. They were personally select ed by himself. , He has bought the best money could buy, and all his horses are desteendenta of the best strains. Hi horses are winners of first prizes, at fho Omaha exposition in . 1898, ad at the Illinois, Iowa, St Louis and, Nebraska i state fairs. His stallions are being sold all over, the west, shipments having been maae to uoioraao, JNew Mexico,; lows, Illinois, Dakota. Kansas, and Nebraska. The introduction of noble strains of blood has proved its ' profitable results throughout this western country. The top market prices are bems? captured by the colts from lams stal " s During 1899 lams ; bought " and fc-bipped twelve car lo'ads of horses from St. Paul, and twelve cars from other points, paying therefore an average price of nearly WJQ, per head, It is interesting1; to know that among the horse's shipped by lams from this country was the gelding which in 1893 brought the :( best price in the- city, of Chicae o, and the highest priced green pacer, t-pld in Chicago was aKso. raised in Howard county and shipped by lams, " From the foregoing it will be seen that the work being? done by Mr.Iams for the horse- raising industry is valuable and far reaching, and farmers and breed ers will be' benefitted by keeping in touch therewith. , r About Diuing Cars. .
