_
The Story of a Iilg rind.
BY GItAXT COX.
Written for the Northwestern Newspaper
Union. ,
"Let's hitch up dor rig'n go out
prospectin' ter-dny , .Tim , wot d'yer
say ? Mebbc we'll strike suthin' . "
Tho ubovo proposition emanated
"
from a small tattered specimen of
humanity , rejoicing oftener lament
ing in the rather burdensome name
of Elijah "Worthington Graves , Lige
for short , and who counted one of
the seventy odd pupils who absorbed
wisdom and made life a burden to
the long-sufieringandpatient teacher
in the Plum street , Dead wood , school.
The boy whom he addressed was
much like himself , under tho disguise
of grime and rags which covered him ,
tho only difference being that his
individuality was determined by
a name peculiar , to himself ,
to wit : "Jim-Jams. " He had doubt
less , at an early period of his exis
tence , been christened James in the
orthodox manner , but that title had
long since been discarded by his com
panions for the morostriking nom do
plume before alluded to.
He was still farther rendered illus
trious by the possession of an under
sized , tan-colored , "cinchback"
mule , which dragged out a miracu
lous existence on visibly nothing , and
answered to the airy appellation of
Pansy. Furthermore he was joint
owner of a small two-wheeled cart ,
the wheels whereof being the sole re
mainder of a stray perambulator ,
which had , in its palmy days , given
sundry airings to numerous juve
nile Deadwoodites , and , which had
changed ownership a score of times
being finally relegated to the region of
things decayed the dust-heap
where-from it had been rescued in
triumph by the two upards , " Jimmy
and Lige. The wagon box had been
fearfully and wonderfully constructed
from bits of boards gathered here
and there , by hook or crook , in the
partners' zeal to provide somemeans
of locomotion other than their nat
ural giftsa , pair of legs respectively.
As for Lige , he was the only child
of poor but decidedly not honest par
ents , the female moiety of whom had
long since succumbed to the com
bined effects of general shiftlessness
and opium , while the male sponsor
for his existence , yet in the flesh , was
as far gone in wicked ways as his
capabilities for liquor and opium
would permit.
Let no deluded reader suppose that
Lige is an embryo hero , who , after
the fashion of most narrators , can be
washed up , inducted into some new
clothes , and made to shine forth into
magnificent potentialities. Lige was
not a cherub , either patent or con
cealed. He would lie likeatrooper with
an unruffled conscience , or steal like
a Hindoo , thinking the sole disgrace
connected therewith consisted in be
ing detected in the act. His capacity
for chewing and smoking was limited
only by his supply of tobacco ; and
swear ! A modern raftsman would
stand agape at the variety of Lige's
expletives.
Lige's sensibilities were not of the
highest order. Once when a minis
ter essayed to offer him some
good moral advice , Lige forci
bly clinched that good man's
hitherto uncertain belief in
i his ( Lige ' s ) total depravity by
firmly and impolitely declining to
accept said advice , with jeers and
objurgations petrifying to the re
cipient. Bear with Lige , dear reader.
Oaths , and vile epithets constituted
the greater portion of the language
his baby life had learned when he
was toddling about , unheeded and
uncared ior , amidst the filth and
refuse heaps of "Bag Alley. "
So had Lige battled with the ivorld
up to his tenth year , A. D. 1883 , and
to theday whereof we write.
As for Jim , read Lige's description
over again , and you have his story
told. In short , he was an outeast
and a vagabond , moreover ,
his gratest delinquency was
that he was Lige's friend , steadfast
and firm.
Lige and Jim were in constant
open rebellion against school. To
them reading was a torment ; the
multiplication table a mockery ;
while their untutored minds received
with utter incredulity the statement
that the earth of a surety revolved
on an axis. If any lingering doubt as
to the falsity of this strange tale of
the earth's motion found refuge in
Lige's minjl , it was forever crushed
by the crucial test to which he subject
ed the theory. He placed his father's
familiar black bottle upon the top of
thepump in the backyardonenight.
saying , with a wag o f his head : "If
she ( the earth ) flops , the bottle'll
tumble , 5n that'll be the waytertell. If
she flops , 'n the bottle busts , it'll be
wutli th' lickin' , anyhow , ter find
out. "
When Lige arose next morning at
daybreak , and ran out to look at
the bottle , onty to find it just as he
had left it the night before , he ejac
ulated : "nary a flop ! " And ever
afterward the absurd theory of the
' received him
earth's-motion was by
with a cynical sneer , born of superior
knowledge.
The BJi2Z'3SK.y of Lige and Jim , as
i
*
-J *
I
i
i
regnrded their hatred of school , was
so great that the proposition of tho
former ( it was on a Saturday thisoc-
cured , but it would have made
no difference had it been
any other daj' ) to leave
the dirty streets of the city for a day
of unlimited freedom , and a scamper
among the hills , with a dazzling
vision of the possible discovery of
untold wealth floating before his
eyes , was received with rapture and
an enthusiastic "whoop ! you bet ! "
by Jim , and tho luckless Pansy soon
found herself hitched to her cart. The
two "pards" crowded up inside the
none too roomy box , and , as rapidly
as Pansy could be persuaded to ad
vance by dint of shouts and blows ,
tho embryo miners bowled out of
thq town , with no objective point in
view , save the A'ague idea of
"prospectin" somewhere , with tho
possibility of "ptrikin' it. " Do not
deride Lige and Jim , reader. How
many of us , scarce better sailors on
life's wide sea , put forth in very simi
lar crazy crafts , seeking fortunes on
uattainable shores , over treacherous
waves which balk our childish ambi
tion !
At first they rattled along in too
much rapture to talk. Dead wood
lay far behind the little treasure
seekers , and the sun seemed scarcely
a foot above the long low range of
hills before them , but they were well
aware that their parents would not
be anxious about them , and so they
took but little heed of time and dis
tance.
It was Lige who broke the silence ,
and suddenly poking Jim , ecstat
ically exclaimed : Look here Jim ,
mobbe we will strikei t , 'n then won't
we have a nifty time , jest like all
them rich fellers , Eh ? D'ye see them
piles o' rock 'n dirt ? " pointing to
some heaps of miningrefuseclustered
about the mouths of some aban
doned shafts in the foothills now
near at hand. "Well , there's mines
where they found lots o' gold once ,
'n they say them fellows wot owned
'em took out heaps o' pay dirt.
Mebbe we kin find some too , eh ? I
don't bleeve all that there dirt 'n
indercashuns is around fur nuthin. '
pos'n you'n me Jud make a find
here to-day ! " and with his voice
pitched up to the exultation of the
moment he shouted : "Wouldn't we
fly high ? Oh , no ! mebbe not ! "
"I bleeve I see some signs
now , " Jim exclaimed , whereupon
both boys jumped out of the cart and
began "prospecting" in good earnest ,
not even stopping to shy an occa
sional stone , as usual , at the birds
which hopped about , so intent were
they with the business in hand. The
ground was strewn with rocks , which ,
to a novice , might have hidden a
golden bonanza in their embraces ,
and the boys ran hither and thither
picking up and throwing down speci
mens , as each new treasure outshone
the last , and talking sagely about
how "high" they would assay , and
how much to the ton the dirt Avould
"run , " using the stray terms which
they had picked up from tho miners
aboutthe camp.
Presently , looking around , Jim
discovered that Lige was nowhere
to be seen. The little mule
was grazing contentedly near
by , but no Lige was visible.
Jim ' s first thought was that Liga
was hiding near by in order to
frighten him by suddenly jumping
out upon him , and so he looked
about , shouting for his comrade , and
threatening to "thump" him soundly
for "playing possum" when it Avas
almost night and time to start for
home.
Suddenly , down to the right , he saw
foot-prints which he knew well to be
Lige's , the shoes that were not mates ,
and were run over at the heel as no
other boy in Deadwood could run
over shoes. They led on and on , up
the rocky path , past the old
abandoned shafts ; "till they ended
abruptly at the edge of a deep , nar
row canon , overgrown with trees
and shrubs , to look down the dizzy
sides of which made Jimmy sick with
fear. No need of looking farther for
Lige !
Jimmy's first impulse was to run
for dear life for assitance. How he
got back to town , driving Pansy
( who seemed to realize the necessity
for an extra burst of speedon ) a
keen run , how he managed to gasp
out his story while his teeth chat
tered with fear , how he guided a
partyof brave , big-hearted min
ers , provided with ropes , to the spot
where Lige had disappeared , need
not be recounted. Suffice it to say
that when a stone miner was let
down to bring up Lige from the bot-
ton of the awful chasm , Jimmy stood
by shivering with fear , and choking
his sobs as best he could waiting to
see what would come up. His little
countenance was past recognition
with the mingling of grime and tears.
What if his best and only friend was
badly injured , or , worse still , dead !
Terrible thought !
At last the brave miner rose to
view , drawn by willing hands , with
Lige's limp , mud-splashed little form
in his arms. He was drenched and
shivering with cold , and one little
leg hung helplessly down.
"Bet yer sweetlife t'want no fun a
layin'down there in the snow , " he
chattered. T'uant any too warm ,
nuther. "
"Oh , Lige ! " cried Jimmy , "You
ain't hurt much , are you ? "
* 'Notby a long shot , " was the
rather shaky reply. "I bleeve I'll
be able to thump you to-morrow ,
Jim. "
At this Jim's tears broke out
afresh , but they were of downright
joy. Love could not have framed a
tenderer message to him , than
this characteristic remark of his
partner.
Beviving stimulants were adminis
tered , the chilled little body wrapped
in the thick coats of several of the
miners , who willingly tendered them
for the purpose , and he was carried
tenderly to the carriage which was
waiting. And that is the. way the
two little miners returned from
"prospecting. "
"Golly ! " groaned Lige , "jest think
o' ridin' home in this gallus rig like
the rich fellers we was a torkin'
erbout ! Purty slick , eh , Jim ? " Jim
in spite of his grief at his friend's
calamity , could not entirely stifle
his delight at ridingfor the first (
time in a "fly outfit , " having as he j
/
Vt
i
. - . ,
menially termed it "a Jo-dandy
time. "
Lige was taken to the housi which
he ( " ailed home. No one was in tho
neglected cabin , but humane neigh
bor.soon flocked in , and tho lit
tle sufferer was mado as
comfortablo as possib'e. Good sur
gical aid was procured , and the poor
little broken limbs were cared for ,
and a sleeping potion given to the
exhausted patient , while a kind old
lndy , who loved children , and would
give worlds for ono of her own , sat
beside him , to watch and < are for
him in a mother's stead , while big
tears of sympathy stood in her kind
gray eyes. Tho doctor had spoken
of possibly fatal internal injuriesbut
could not say as yet. Time would
tell. Jim , poor fellow , refused to
leavo his partner's bedside. He sat
on a little stool at tho foot , of tho
bed and fell into an uneasy slumber ,
from which he aroused every few
minutes to inquire : "How's Lige
getting along ? "
The night sped on apace ,
and toward morning tho little
patient grew rapidly worse.
Tho feverish flush gave away to a
gray pallow , and moan after moan
broke the stillness. The nurse sought
by every tender act to quiet the
little sufferer , but in vain. Once ho
sprang up , crying in a terrified
voice : "Oh ! Oh dad ! please don't
lick me. I couldn't help it ! Oh-h !
I'm fallin' . " Then he fell into a doze.
Again he sprang up , screaming in
terror , and was again quieted by the
pitying nurse , and seemed to sleep.
It was near morning when Lige
opened his eyes again with a start ,
and , raising quickly up in bed , and
pointing one small finger upward ,
exclaimed , joyfully :
"Jimmy ! Jimmy ! come quick live
made a find ! I've struck it ! come on !
we're partners , and we'll share alike !
See if we don't ! "
At the sound of Lige's voice Jimmy
rushed to the bedside and grasped
his friend's hand , and exclaimed in a
frightened voice : "What is it Lige ?
I don't see nothin' ? "
The sick boy gazed with rapture at
what neither the nurse nor Jim could
see.
see."It's a big-find ! " he cried. It's
where Christmas comes fromJimm3 * ,
and its all mine and yours ! "
"You bet your sweet life , " he mur
mured again faintly , "there ain't no
body agoin' to jump our claims , Jim
my. "
Then there was a sudden relaxing
of the features , a quiet shudder
passed over the small form and
then silence. Jimmy's partner had
left him.
A grave in the potter's field , and a
very brief paragraph in the morning
paper , are all the earthly tokens of
Lige's treasure trove.
May we not sometime see , looking
past the afar-off shores of that dark
river , the glory beyond all word to
tell of , Little Lige's "Big Find. "
To Make the Heart Strong.
Now there is but one legitimate
way in making tho heart strong.
That is by taking regular , systemat
ic and sufficient muscular exercise ,
into which climbing heights or stair
cases enters as a prominent feature.
Let a person who finds his pulse in
creased fifty to sixty beats in a min
ute after mounting a staircase climb
a hundred staircases day after day
for a month or more and he will find
that the exertion does not add ten
beats to the normal number of his
heart throbs. The exercise has a cted
upon this vital organ just as it does
on the biceps of a prize fighter or a
blacksmith , and strength and the ca
pacity for endurance have been the
result.
But this is not all the good that
will be gained by climbing a hundred
staircases a day say fifty in the
morning and fifty in the afternoon.
Doubtless the person with a weak
heart has suffered more or less from
what is called nervous dj'spepsia. His
food , instead of being properly digest
ed , has been mainly fermented in his
stomach and has caused him various
uncomfortable feelings , which he has
been in the habit of attributing to
everything but their proper cause
Not only have the hundred minutes
or so spent in Jimbing staircases
put strength into his legs , expand
his chest and saved his heart from
fatty degeneration , but they have
given tone to his abdominal muscles
and to his digestive organs. His food
no longer lies like a lump of lead in
his stomach , torpor has disappeared
from ( what we physicians call and
which , for the sake of delicacy , I must
here designate them ) his chylopoetic
viscera , and his system gets the full
benefit of the food which is required
for its nourishment. Dr. William A.
Hammond.

restaurant the other day. An ac"
quaintance of the writer was seated a t
one of the tables enjoying his noon
day lunch. It was somewhat near
the closing part of the dining hour ,
and , as frequently is the case , some
of the articles of the daily fare were
about exausted. A late comer en
tered the restaurant and took a seat
at the same table with the gentleman
first noted. This late arrival , evi
dently in somewhat of a hurry , gave
his entire order at the one time , but
as soon as the waiter had returned
with the same , he was chagrined to
see that cold bread was served him
instead of the warm biscuits he ex
pected , the stock of the latter having
run out. However , not to be wholly-
deprived of the luxury desired , he
unceremoniously reached across to
the domain of the earlier diner ,
picked up the solitary biscuit that
yet remained on the latter's plate ,
and commenced to eat it , whereupon
the othernot , to be outdone in themat-
ter of a good reach and the ability to
employ it , extended his arm , gathered
in the piece of pie that belonged to
the original offender , and proceeded
to regale himself. "That is my pie ,

"That is my biscuit ! " was the cool
rejonder. A silence followed , only
broken by the patter of the waiter ' s

The Little Seed.
A little seed lay in the carter's path ;
A little nlinot bowed in tho strong wind's
wrath ;
A little shrub grew , by its roots held fast ;
"Then a stout tree braved all tho winter's
blast.
A little cough started 'twas only light ;
A little chill shivered the hours of night ;
A little pain came and began to grow ,
Then consumption laid all his bravo
str-ngth low.
Bo wise in time. Check tho little cough ,
cure the little chill , dispell the little pain ,
ere tho little ailment becomes the strong ,
unconquorable giant of disease. Dr.
Pierce ' s Golden Medical Discovery , taken
in time , is a remedy for these ills.
