Thu < nilnes had , been shut down. for six weeks' and money In the camp was1 scarce. Bad weather had scfin early nnd the con tinued -rain found Its way through the roof of many a cabin. There was beginning to bo sickliest. Inthe. . cabin of Sandy Careen there waa a little girl the only little girl in the camp very ill. A cold at first1 then a fever , hail como and day after day little , sunny-haired Nelllo Carson , whom the miners Hail loved nnd potted' and spoiled since the .first . day of her arrival , steadily grow worse and wasted until the whole camp spoke In whispers , oven up at the Red Light , where they were gambling. Bandy Careen and his wife , -with their one child , had arrived at the camp late in the fall , with , barqly enough money to pay the teamster who. brought thorn , nnd there had been little mining -weather since. As stated at the liVslnnlug , money in the camp was scarce , but It wns , perhaps , more so In the Carson cabin than under any other roof In The Gulch. This fact had made no difference to Dr. DlcU , whq worked a claim In pleasant wenthor ami practiced moiliclno between times. 'Ho remained with the Carsona day nnd night , almost , and the miners know that he would save Nellie if human skill could avull. They were as anxious as ho to do what they could for the child nnd hud ordered ex pensive luxuries by the stage that came down twice a week froin Green Vnlloy , and once , by Dr , Dick's advice , they had sum moned n great physician from the city , who had charged them $100 , only to tell them that Dr. Dick was doing all that anybody living could dp nnd that thp fever must run Its course. To Dr , Dlckv who now hung over the little sufferer' I'fil ' nnd watched the fluttering breath , and foil the little , hot , wasted hand , it seemed that It coma : was about run. Tha parents , exhausted with watching , were In the next room asleep. His patient had been delirious at'tlmcw and as 1m loaned over her she began muttering : "Is It Christmas yet. mamma ? " she whis pered. "YoVi enld I could have a doll when Christmas , -camo nnd I want it BO bad. ' mamma ; ' ChrlBtmai yet ? " Dr. IJIck'HfteJ up his head and .stared about helplessly. It waa Chrlstmau ove. Ho had scarcely thought of It'himself until now. but the sick child In her unconsciousness had somehow remembered and thi-ough the burn ing tide ot'fever had held fast to a promise of weeks before , The tidp wan running out now ; its foffo was nearly spent. By mornIng - Ing ho bell'ovbd the moment would come that wan to decide belnccli llfo nnd death. If only the doll cqujd bo there to lay in her hand when epnsufousness came there was just a cluuco , a bare chunri ) , that the de cision mlKlit-'bct-rllfe. "Isn't H Christmas yet , mamma ? " ehc re- peated. "Jsn't It Christmas yol ? " When Mrrf. , Carson awoke Dr. Dick told ' ' her. - * "Havoyoiiithc doll ? " he asked anxiously. Tears sprang to the poor woman's eye * . "I have never bought It. I have promised It to her for a i'cor. I told her that , when Christmas came nhe should surely have It. Thnn wo moved here and then Nellie was taken ill , anil I did not remember , and , oh. Dr. " Dick , wo have scarcely money forfoqd ! " Half on hour later Dr. Dirk went over to the lied Light hotel for supper. Lounging about the oillce was the usual crow'd , Every other occupation ccabcd when the doctor entered. "How Is she ? How Is she , tonight , Doc ? " they naked In a subdued'chorus. It was raining outside and the newcomer walked over to the fire. "There'll be a change by morning or be fore. I can't tell you till then. " He paused nnd , turning suddenly , added : "Boys , Is there anybody hero that will ride over to Green Valley tonight ? " Theira was a moment of silence. Green Valley , the nearest town of any size , was a good twenty miles away and the roads were believed to bo impassible * The stage had missed two trips. Creeks were flwollcn and the mud In places would be to the horses' knees. A gang of outlaws infested one part of the road and the stage had been fired on. Presently one of the men spoke. "Any of us would go , " he said , "but I don't believe there's a horse In the camp that would carry a grown man there and back tonight , and the Kid hero wouldn't care to risk it , I reckon. " "Let the Kid talk for himself , " answered a brisk voice , nnd a boyish figure stepped out facing Dr. Dick. "What's wanted at Green Valley ? " The doctor looked at his questioner. The boy could not bo more than 17 , and was slight for his age. Ho was supposed to bs a runaway and had drifted into camp one day from nobody know where. Since then he had been mining and gambling and ap peared to be an expert at both. Ho gave hl > ' name as Ellis , but the men had christened him the Kid , and when little Nell came he had for soinn reason become her slave. Since her ilHieso ho had gambled very little. Dur ing the last few days none at all. "Well , " said Dr. Dick , slowly , as he looked at the slender figure , "perhaps It Is nothing that w 111 do any good , but tomorrow will bo Christmas nnd the llttlci girl has been promised a doll , and remembers It simehow , oven in her fever. She In talking and rav ing about It , and when the change conns , if she is conscious , any disappointment would bo bad , of coureo , nnd I thought maybe If wo had the doll a big doll to put right be fore her that perhaps " The boy wheeled , facing the listening men. "Who'a got a horse ? " ho demanded. "Get mo a good horse and I'll be out of here in three minutes. " "I have ! I have take mine ! " came from different parts of the room. "I've got the best horse In camp , " said n heavy-shouldered man named Slag. "I'll have her hero by the time you're ready , " and ho disappeared without vniltlng for reply , "Tho Kid will need money chip in , boys , " i said another , holding out his hat. i The coins rattled Into It while the boy was making his only preparation for the ride drawing on an oiled coat called n slicker , loaned him by one of the men. When the lint , heavy with silver , was handed to him ho passed It over to Dr. Dick. "Give that to her folks , " Jie snld. "They need It. I'll pay for the doll myself. " And ! without stopping for reply or comment ho i hurried out to where Slag was waiting with a large , handsome mare that was teasing her head and stamping in the falling rain. "She'll take you there and back If any horse can tonight , " Raid Slag. The mlnorn crowded out to see him off. It was already dark and the rain was falling heavily. "Hold her up stream , Kid , when you ford , " called one , "Never let her head get down stream. " "You'd better lead her when you get to Ixmg Cliff , " said another "The road must bo cut out bad there. She might go over " "Nance knows every foot o1 the way , " said Slag. "Ho don't need to lead her none. " "Take my gun , Kid , " said a big-bearded fellow called "Whiskers , " holding up an Im mense revolver. "Too heavy. Got one , thank you. Good bye , boys. I'll bo back by daylight If I come at all , " and with a signal to the restless mare the boy bounded away Into the night and rain. The men , listening in silence , heard the sp'.ash ' of the mare's feet until he reached the woods. "That Kid's a brick , " said Whiskers "but I wish he'd taken my gun. " "The less he has to carry the better , " said Dr. Dick. "He's light and got n good horse. It's a fearful tide , but he may make it. " They entered , and the doctor , after a hasty supper , returned to the Carson cabin. II. The last clerk In the bis general fatoro at Green Valley was just getting ready to close for the night. It was past 11 , nnd the final straggling Christmas Eve -customers were gone. Ho stood In the door for n moment looking out Into the darkness and rain and muttering to himself : "I hate these kind of Clirlatmases , " he grumbled. "I don't mind If It's cold , but this rain , rain , rain , and mud nnd slop all over everything , knocks trade silly , and I'll bet there ain't twenty couples over yonder nt the dance. " The eound of miiislc came across through the rain , and the blurred lights showed where the society of Green Valley was making merry on Christmas Eve. Ho was about to turn back to make the final preparations for closing when another sound came to him from far down the street. It was the splash of horse's hoofs , "Hello ! " he exclaimed ; "somebody coming in Into to the dance , J reckon , " but the horseman was turning directly toward the store , nnd presently dismounted whpre the light shone out Into the falling rain. Ho Hung the bridle line over a hitching post , as ho called out to the staring clerk : "Get out the biggest and finest doll you've got. quick. " The clerk , hastening lo obey , etlll stared at the figure that now entered. Ho saw that it was a boy or a small man , but that was nil ho could tell. The Kid was a mass of mad from head to foot , and ho staggered n little as ho walked , " rode from the Gulch " "I over slnte 7 , ho snld , na ho noticed the clerk's curiosity. "It's not very fast ridln' . but the- roads are , pretty soft nnd I s'pose I'm n ome muddy ! " "From the Gulch ! Muddy' ' " The clerk put down the box Ki his hands and looked nt the boy In amazemnnt. "Yes ; and I've got to get back by daylight with that doll. Hurry up with it. The big gest and highest-priced you got. It's fer a little girl that's about to die , nnd Dr. Dick thinks it may save her if we get it there. In time. You can tie it up good , and fasten it to me under the slicker. " The astonished clerk hurriedly opened two or three paper boxed containing waxen-faced dolls. The largest box held a full-dressed doll , with eyes that opened and closed. "I'll take this one , " said the Kid , "Put it up In thick paper and use a lot of big , strong string. " "That doll Is $15. " said the clerk , hesitat ing. "If It costs $50 I want It , " answered the Kid , sharply , "and I want It In n hurry. " He reached one muddy hand under the oil coat n a ho spoke , nnd drew out a little sack. "Help yourself out of that , " ho nalil , drop ping it on the counter. The clerk did up the doll in a stout package. The Kid opened the slicker. "Tie It around me , high up as you can ; more to the rloht. " "Why , you're only n boy , " exclaimed the clerk. , getting now close to the Kid's fact ) "Yea , that's why I came. A man would have been too heavy for the mare to carry over the roads. " ' Are the creeks up high1 Did jou have to swim , I mean ? " "Threo times. They'll be higher still going back. " "Dark , ain't it ? Could you see any at nil ? " "Just the tree tops a little , but the mare knowu the rwd " "Do you think you'll get back all right. ' " "I've got to. Say , run that string up over my shoulder. There , that'll stay , I guess. Now , take out your money and tie that sack to my belt. That'll do ; good night. " "Walt n minute , " called the clerk. "Here , take this to the little girl ns a merry Christ mas from mo. " Ho went to a showcase nnd tcok out a beautiful shiny breastpin nnd a pair of ear rings , all on a card together. "I can slip these in the package nil right , " he snld. "I saved what they cost by not going to a dance tonight , nnd mnybe they'll help some , too. " "Oh , sure ! " said the Kid , "girls always like Jewelry. Thank you. " He hurried out to where the big mare was standing In the rain , staring Into the lighted store. "We've got to try it again , Nance , old girl , " ho said. "Wo had a hard pull coin ing over and it'll bo worse going back , but wo'vo got to get there. Nelllo Carson's got to have this doll and Jewelry tomorrow morning. She'll die If eho don't get It , Nonce , and we're not going to let Nellie die If wo can help it. " The noble mare , who was a mass of mud like himself , whinnied n little and seemed to understand. A moment later he was dashIng - Ing back down the street Into the blackness that lay between him and the little girl , who was battling with death In Sandy Carson's cabin. AH ho sped along ho could see her round , sunny face as eho had Icoked before ' .or Illness , and ho could see beside It nn- ether fnco the face of another Nellie his little sister back In the enat , uliom ho had not seen for two years. He had idolized her. but ho remembered bitterly how oven his love for her had not been strong enough to keep him out of bad company , and how when his father had reproved him he- had flc.1 from his homo In anger and never returned. Ho had spent a year at another camp before coming to The Gulch , and ho hod always been lucky , but the memory of little sister Nelllo had novqr dim-med , It was for this reason that Nelllo Cnrson had become hlfl pet , and because of Mils that during her illness ho had led n better life. Ho could dot bear the thought of , her dying , nnd ho ehuddercd to think that oven If ho reached The Gulch Bafcly he might not bo In time. He urged the mnro forwnul. There was a fairly good stretch of road for eome distance out of Green Valley and they were making good headway. Then they entered the heavy woods and the road became ullppcry. He was obliged to go glower here and let the more pick her way. A mile further on there was a swift stream that they bad forded with difficulty. Ho know that it was otlll rising , and ho was anxious to get there as soon as possible. The darkness In the woods was Intense and he was compelled to trust to the mare entirely. The faithful animal kept steadily on , now on onct side of the road , now on the other , seeming to know by Instinct the safeet path. Ho could hear the stream roaring before they got to it. "It will be a tough pull , Nunce , " he re flected , "but we've got to make It. " Ho could not tell , In the darkness , when they had reached the brink , until he felt the mare plunge forward and the water rise about his less. "Head up stream , Nance ! Head up stream , old girl ! " Ho felt her struggling powerfully under him , but ho could bavo no means of know- lug when they were near the other bank. Suddenly It seemed to him that they had drifted down out of the open road , and thick woods were on both sides If they were be tween the eteep banks they were lost. He leaned forward , striving .to pierce a little way Into the blackness. All at once he felt a branch sweep across his face. They were In the woods ! At the same instant the mare stopped swimming. She had given up the struggle ! but no , for ho felt her plunging and battling for a foothold on soIU ground. They had reached the other bank , and she was climbing where It was steep and alip- pery. He gave her free rein , and all at once he found himself saying n prayer. "God help me to reach The Gulch ! " he whispered. "God he'p me to reach Nellie In time ! " Ho clung to the struggling marc's mane , and nfter what seemed an eternity to the boy , he felt that they had reached the level ground. Then he know , from the branches against his face , that they were In the woods , and a little later that they were back in the road. "Good Nance ! " he said , patting her neck ; "good , beautiful Nance ! " There was better going here again and for another five miles they did very well Then they forded the second stream , which was not so swift. Just beyond was a stretch of hilly , rough road , and it was here that the Green \nlley stage had. been fired upon. He had not feared a hold-up , for ho thought highwaymen would hardly expect prey on euch a night. The hills were slippery and the mare tolled slowly from side to side among the boulders. As they reached the upper plane and n mitre level stretch of road she settled once more Into the swinging gal lop with which she had covered each bit of decent going. Ho noticed that the rain had well nigh ceased nnd that there seemed to bo n breaking In the sky. Perhaps It would bo clear nnd sunny for Christmas. Kor a moment he forgot that darkness nnd danger shut him In , when uuddenly the mare gave n snort and plunged so quickly to ono sldo that the Kid was almost unseated. Then his heart stood still , for ho heard men's > nufiled voices , and then a sharp , quick call of "Halt ! " The kid imagined bo saw the outlines of a man at Nance's head. "Let go of that ! you scoundrel ! " ho screamed and drove his heels against the mare's side. There was a smothered curse ns Nance tore her head free nnd dashed for- wnrd. The Kid BOW the dark outline go down an he passed and then ho heard horss's hoofs behind him in pursuit. The light In the sky was getting somewhat ' stronger and the rain had almost entirely 1 ceased. They were on high , open ground i nnd the boy felt that they could sco his form i agalns-t the horizon. , "Good Nance , beautiful Nance , " he whls- i pcred and repeated again and again the low i signal that urged her forward. "We must I beat these cutthroats ; we must get to The i Gulch with Nellie's doll. You can do It , Nance ! You can do it ! Go.l will help you to do It , Nance. O God , if you will help Nance to beat these cutthroats I will be a better boy. I will write home and I will never touch another card. Only help Nance to get there in time with Nellie's doll ! " j "We are going to do It. Nance ! " he mur- i mured , and then suddenly from behind came two sharp reports on the night. The kid felt his right shoulder shrink with a fierce pEin for a moment and grew numb. "Nance ! 0 Nance , they have shot me ! " The mare had bounded forward nt the shots and was now running wildly. j "Keep It up , Nance keep it up. I'll hang on if I can. O God , help me to bang on ! " Ho wound his hands to the saddle with the bridle rein and pulled the end through tight with bis teeth. Then ho leaned forward nnd closed his eyes , for he was growing faint. Presently" he felt the maro's forefeet plunge downward and n moment later Hie cold water was oncn more about his k-gs. They had reached the last ford. "Head up stream , Nunce , head up stream , old girl , " ho muttered faintly and then llu night and the roar of water , and the sound of distant hoofs whirled and mingled un blended Into blackness and silence. III. The CarEen cabin was a few hundred yards from the red light on the Green Valley road. A group of men were gathered about Us humble door , waiting. Waiting for dawn , waiting for the word that came now and then from the little fever-wasted girl wl'hln , walling for the splash of hoofs thnt would announce the Kid's return. They had been there since 3 o'clock. The rain had ceased and the sky was almost clear. They talked little and in whispers , nnd when Dr. Dick came out nnd spoke to them they hung upon his words. H was after iJ o'clock now and the world was getting gray. Some of the men arose nnd nt times walkcj as far as the edge of the woods to listen. They Sol M. Fizz I want a mourning uuit Mr Shears May I ask the bereavement Sol , M Klzz-iMothtT-in-law Mr Shears Yes , sir. Here are uorno beautiful fancy plaids ! returned silently , and then others would ge and also return. "Ho ought to be comin' by now , " said Sing , who had scarcely spoken before. "H'a n mighty bad road , but Nance could get over It by this time cf ef the cricks wn'n't too high BO'S they so's they couldn't get across , though , o1 course , they'd try It. Tint Kid an' Nance 'ml try anything. " This was the first suggestion that any ono had made nloud that perhaps the Kid might not return and It cast an added gloom over the silent group. Dr. Dick came to the door just then. lie stoo'd outside , listening anxiously. "She Is between life and death , " he whis pered. "Sho Is likely to wnke any moment now. If only the boy would come ! " Then ho went back nnd there was another time of Hllenco nnd hungry waiting. By and by the door opentJ more quickly than usual and ho slopped out nK'Jln. "She Is waking , " he whispered. "If the boy docbn't come now It will bo ton late. " He peered down the dim road , listening in tently. The morning was very still nnd the least sound could bo hoard. All at once from the edge of the woods there came n cnll. H wns from two men who had wnlkod down the road to listen , "He's coming ! " they cried. "We can hear the hoofs ! " The men leaped to their feet and listened. Knr down the. rend , somewhere In the woods , they could hear the sound , too. Sing ran a few steps forward. "That's Nance ! " he exclaimed , under his breath , "I know her gait ! " They saw the two men leturnlng on the run , and then , out of the woods behind them came the horse. She paascd them and cams straight to Sing , who hnd stepped forward to meet her. She wns n mass of mud , and upon her back there hung nnolher mud cov ered object that made no movement or sound , "Kid ! Kid ! " said Whiskers , shaking him , "are you asleep ? Did you bring the doll ? " There was no answer. Then Ihoy saw lhat his hands were bound lo the saddle. In a second they had lifted him down nnd strlpppd off Iho slicker. They enw Ihu package con taining the doll , and culling It from him hnndcd it to Dr. Dick who turned hastily with It Into the cabin , and a moment later returned. "Tho boy is hurt , " he said briefly. "Thero was blood on the packngc. " Hu kneeled down In the dim light and laid his. eur to the Kid's heart. "Carry him over to Iho Hod Light ! " ho commanded. "Quick ! " Whiskers lifted the slender form In his arms and carried It as ho would an Infant * * * * * Thrco hours later the sweet Chrlstmnn sun light was shining into the upper south room of the Hed Light , where the Kid wns lying. Dr. Dick was bunding over him , and u silent group was galhered In the hallway , peering through the open door. The bdy , opcnlni ; his eye * , did not realize at first where he was. Then he nald , faintly : "Did I make It in time , Doc ? Was the doll all right , and and will she will nho get well ? " "Yea , my boy , you saved her. She will get well. And you will get well , too , Kid , Go.l . bless you ! " And there wau not ono of the silent lls'en- Ing group outsldo hut repealed fervently , "God blesa him !
