The anew waa too deep to gatbei fallen dead wood for a fire, ao Turnet took his hatchet and hunted about fot a stump dry enough to burn. Ho eventually found one. Turner backed off two feet of th* wood at a time as It was needed, and about bedtime had reached the middle ot the log. He had noticed a hole In the center which connected with so opening near the top and rightly con eluded that a nuthatch had made hir nest In the Interior the spring beforeOccaaionally he struck the feathers ot the bird, but thought nothing of II anti! bis hatchet bit a hard, metallic substance. Then he carefully Invest! gated. By cutting out the decayed wood about the eqfcstance he soon brought to light a fine gold chain, scarcely larger than a thread, to the end of which was attached a small gold lock et set with three sparkling diamonds Turner was greatly excited and called to bis companion. He pried the locket open with bla hunting knife, and found It to contain a tiny photograph oi a child and a picture of a man. on the back of which was written "L. D. The locket haa lain underneath some feathers and moose hair at the bottom of the nest, and the chain bad been firmly woven Into the outer part of ths structure.

THE THOUGHT OF “MOTHER" Influence That Carried Youngster Through Hard Position. Writing In ths Princess of a mother. Tennyson exclaimed that though "no angel.'’ she was “a dearer being, all dipt In angel Instincts, breathing Paradise." The poet's thought Is Illustrated by a little story told by. the Rev. Joshua Cooke In an artlclo on the mnledecr. contributed to “The Big Game of North America.” The clergyman's oldest son. a ranchman In Oregon, stands six feet In his stockings, and Is a powerful,man. a good shot, a fine hunter, warm-hearted and generous. One day a fellow ranchman entered his cabin and said: "Mr Cooke, my old mother Is dead She was a Christian woman, and I don't want to put her In the ground like the cattle we bury. There Isn't a minister within thirty miles. Yoqr father Is a minister: you have tabght in our Sabbath school." It was a new experience; the big boy thought a moment, and then said: "Whltebesd. 1 never did anything of the kind, bat If it was my mother— and I have one whom I worship- 2 -! shoutd feel as you do. Your mother shan't be burled like a dog. Fll come." Afterward he wrote to his father: "I recalled the words I had so pften heard you pronounce over the dead. All alone 1 read a passage of Scripture, sang a verse- of a hymn, said a short prayer, said the 'dust to dust,' and all was over. It was a tight place, father; all the men and women of ths valley were there, but I thought ot mother, and It carried me through.”— Chicago Record-Herald.
