A few days before there bad come a wonderful event in the histery of the | corupany's post. A new life was born into the little cabin of Cummins and his wife. Then bad come the sudder | change, and tbe gloom, that brought with it the shadow of death, fell Uke a pall upon the post, stifling its fe and bringing with it a grief that those who lived there had never known be an's lips Jan Thoreau played softly 'upon his violin. It was the great, | heartbroken sob of John Cummins that | stopped him. In tbe dim light of the | | cabin their eyes met. It was then that | | Jan Thoreau knew what had bappen- | ed. He forgot his starvation. He | crushed his violin closer and whispered to himself: "The white ange! ees--gonel" Cummins rose from the bedside slow- | ly, like a man who had suddenly grown | old. His moccasined feet dragged as | be went to the door. They stumbled | when he went out into tbe pale stat | glow of the night. | Jan followed, swaying weakly, fot | the last of his strength bad gone in the" | playifg of the violin. Midway In the ! cabin be paused, and his eyes glowed with a wild, strange grief as he gazed down upon the still face of Cummins' wife, beautiful in death as it had been in life and with the sweet softness of Ufe still lingering there. Some time, ages and ages ago, he bad known such cheeks and the glitter of bl monds into her eyes when she saw the' his gaze. When Cummins' wife pass- ed him she drew her skirt close fo her.
