were over in the
Great White can
yon. Mary Vernon
pulled down the
■little window of the
postoffice of which
she was the mis
tress, swept the
contents of the nar
row counter into a
drawer, which she
> locked; then pinning a broad-leaved
I* ; *! hat above the brown curls that clus
tered about her brow she passed out of
'Jv her log cabin into the sweet evening
air.
As she reached the low fence which
v ran before her house a hurried footstep
sounded through the gathering gloom,
a man's voice said:
• "Is that you, Mary, my girl? Tou
. look little more than a ghost under the
shadow of those bushes.”
& “You’ve kept your promise, dearest,
and- come to see me,” she cried, as she
threw herself into the arms of her lover,
i Reuben Halse kissed the red lips so
", frankly offered him before he spoke.
"Yes, Mary, I’ve kept my promise,
but I’ve come to say good-bye.”
, "Good-by—good-by? You’re going
•way? You’re going to leave me—
- your sweetheart—your wife that Is to
her
“My dear little girl, don’t cry—don’t
e • grieve. You’ve been my sweetheart,
faithful and true, but we can never
marry.”
r The strong man’s voice broke and
died Into silence.
"Go on; tell* me the worst,” sobbed
' the girl in his arms.
r> “Listen, dear. You know that lately
things have gone wrong with me. The
bit of money rve saved up for our wed
. ^ the fall was stolen, and then
« the cabin I’d built for you down by the
v Blue Pools was burned. Still, there was
the farm stock and your little purse of
saving left, but the drought has killed
the stock and—oh, Mary, how can I tell
you?”
Mary drew apart from her lover and
> steadied her trembling form against the
' garden fence. . .
' “Some ' one has robbed you of the
money I gave you. Oh, my poor boy—”
■’ F She stretched forth her pitying hands
, toward the man before her, who only.
. .. bowed his head and shuffled his feet in
, the thick, white dust
"Till me, Reuben; tell me how it hap

"Aye. laee-at Ffolliott’at Iloet alt

For a moment no sound but the even

He
tJira
gVed bin spurred boots upon the floor,
end continued to stare through the
pigeon-hole window at the girl, and she
flitted about her usual business.
"Anything I can do for you?” she
asked him presently.
"No,” Paul said - slowly, taking in
every detail of the girl’s pretty figure,
clad in cotton frock of gentian blue.
"But might I speak to one minute—
privately?"
“You can say what you’ve got to say
where you are.”
“How different you keep your place
from what a man's shanty la-”
"You live down by the Blue Pools,
don’t you?”
“Yes, next to Reuben Halse, till his
place was burned out, and he came to
my shanty. I saw Rube three days
back.”
“You saw Rube?" Mary clasped her
hands above her heart.
“Yes. He and his chums passed
through Lon Tom’s ranch. I’ve been
out mere tuts two months past, help
ing him brand and count the cattle.
Rube told me that you and he had
parted and the reason why. He asked
me to look after you a bit. You see,
we've been good pals, and I’d like to do
him a turn now he’s gone under. You
will let me look after you now and
again, won't you, for Rube's sake?”
The handsome cowboy, tall and'
strong as a giant, clad in the pictur
esquely rough clothes of his calling,
bent like a reed before thj tiny, blue
eyed figure of the postmistress, who
laid a slender white hand In his great
palm and lifted her violet eyes to his
dark ones.
"Surely, Paul Harding,' for Rube's
sake, you may look after me when 1
can’t look after myself.”
It was for Rube’s sake that the fol
lowing Sunday Paul dressed himself In
his best, brought a little two-wheeleil
cart, gay with bells and bright colorB,
to Mary’s door, and asked her to drive
out with him.
The day was fair, and “Beauty” Paul
amused her with stories of Rube, and
when they came to an end he told her
of his own home, in the heart of a
green country In England.
He made her laugh with his tales of
college life, and shudder with his de
scriptions of the campaign in Egypt,
which he had gone through. Only he
did not tell her how he, an English
gentleman, and a gallant officer, came
to be loafing and drinking and gam
bling away his days and his health In
Great White canyon.
The next Sunday Mary shut herself
within her log cabin, and neither the
blue sky nor the gay cart and smartly
caparisoned horse, nor “Beauty” nor
himself could wheedle her out.
She would not be seen, she said stern
ly, with one of Pfolliotfs lot. She,
hdwever, repented and forgave him on
his promise to amend for her sake.
As weeks and months went by, and
the green of the canon changed to red
and gold, iPaul found that if he was to
“look after” Mary he had to give up
the saloon.
And,- indeed, for a space Ffolliott’s
knew him not, till one October morning
his allowance—the money which bought
his family freedom from his disgrace
ful presence—arrived from England.
For the next week Ffolliott’s was a
pandemonium, with the “Beauty” as a
presiding demon.
Mary heard of It and refused to speak
to or look at him. Then It was that he
flung himself before her one day and
prayed her to save him from that which
he was powerless to Bave himself—from
drink, and dice, and bad companions.
And Bhe did what other good women
have done before and will do again,
Bhe placed her hand In his and with
her heart full of Rube Halse, she prom
ised to marry Paul—for her soul’s sake
The eve of the marriage day arrived
and with It Paul’s allowance from Eng
land. The occasion and opportunity
suggested a carouse, and Paul Informed
the “boys” he would be standing trea!
at FfolUott's that night for the last
Paul was full ot liquor—he bad drank
Mary's health with every man In the
place—and he was also full of luck,
for once in a way. A pile of gold lay
before ht& on the table, and he war
just proposing another round In Mary's
honor, when big Bill Redfern strode In
and was greeted with a shout of “Hal
loo, Bill; you back! What luck, pard?”
“Luck, my lads! I leave luck to fools
and dead beats. I’ve been working,
and, thank Ood, I've worked for some
thing. I’ve put my sweat and muscle
Into the ground and I've struck ore*
None of your dust or pockets, but a
vein as broad as an ox's back, and a*
long as a river, and so I've come back
with Rube—”
Paul looked up with a start Hers
was he drunk in a gambling hell on the
eve of his marriage with Mary, and
Rube had come back.
“What did you say?" he muttered.
“I said Rube and I had come back
But don’t let me disturb the game.
Come, come, have a drink; I’m standing
treat, and as to Rube, here’s his health
and Mary’s!”
“I’m standing treat!” shouted Paul,
springing up. “Have a drink with
me?” And with this he flung bis
liquor In Bill’s face and made a rush at
him.
A pistol flashed, a blue puff of smoks
died In the hot air, and “Beauty” Paul
jay stone dead on Ffolllott’s floor.
Some of them went up to the post
office to break the news to Mary. There
was a light in the window, and by it
they saw Rube and her sitting talking
Quietly and with bowed heads they left
the cottage and returned to FfolUott’i
Without fulfilling their mission.
Next day a rough-and-ready jury
having considered all the circumstances
of the case, and with due appreclatloa
of Bill Redfern’s prowess as a dead
shot, decided that Paul had courted ci
purpose a certain death, and they re
turned a verdict of “suicide while ol
uaaouad mind.”
I AN IN8ECT'S FOOT-FALLS.
The Microphone Mnkes the Hoof Boot*
of ■ Fly Sound Lm4 to the fat
The Improvements which W. H.
Soulby has lately added to the micro
phone, or "sound magnifier/’ makes it
one of the most marvelous mechanical
contrivances of the age. The special
construction of this Instrument is of
no particular Interest to any one ex
cept experts, but what is told of its
wonderful powers as a magnifier of
sounds will entertain young and old,
as well as the sclentflc and unscientific
readers of "Notes for the curious."
After the Instrument had been com
pleted with the exception of a few fin
ishing touches, Soulby found it abso
lutely necessary to keep the door of his
workshop tightly closed, so as to admit
no sounds from the outside, otherwise
the inarticulate rumblings given off by
the “ejector” would have become un
bearable. Even with closed doors the
cap had to be kept constantly in place
on the receiver to keep the Instrument
from sending forth a roar, which pre
vious lnvestleatlon had nrnved to be a
combination of sounds produced by
watch beats, breathing, the hum of
flies, etc. A fly walking across the
receiver of the instrument made a
sound equal to a horse crossing a
bridge, and when Mr. Soulby laid his
arm across the box the blood rushing
in his veins gave forth a sound which
much resembled that made by the
pump of a large steam engine. The
playing of a piano in a house across the
street was, when ejected from Soulby’s
machine, like the roar of an avalanche,
and the washing of dishes in the kitch
en of a'house across the alley made a
sound which the inventor of the mar
chine says was a “burden to his soul.”
When anyone entered the room, walk
ed about, coughed, touched the table
or door handles, the shriek which is
sued from the ejector was most pain
ful to hear. Hundreds of uses have
been suggested for the microphone, the
most practical being those of blood cir
culation and lung test
LONDON FERRIS WHEEL
The Princess of Wales the First Lady
Carried Around the Huge Machine.
England loves pluck, and the Princess
of Wales has recently proved that she
possesses a quality dear to all our
hearts. She was the first lady to take
her place in a carriage upon the great
•wheel at the Indian Exhibition, and the
first to make the circuit of its enormous
revolution. She was accompanied by
her daughter, the Duke and Duchess
of York, and some ladies of her suite.
Of cburse there is not the least danger
in the act, but then there are many
ladies who would feel nervous about it,
especially as it had not long been in use,
and only open for the public for a day.
Since then it has, to use an American
ism, “caught on,” and crowds throng
the carriages at every revolution. They
resemble nothing so much as a very
comfortable railway carriage, and the
pace at which the wheel moves is. so
slow that there is ample time allowed
for the survey of the marvelous view
over London afforded by it. To under
stand the enormous size of this great
mechanical triumph you must stand un
der it and look up at its tremendous
proportions, the dizzy height of the
half-way resting places, which will soon
be opened as restaurants, and the vast
size of the carriages, each capable of
containing thirty persons. Certainly
the princess Inaugurated one of the
great enterprises of the season.
Word Studies.
"Dago,” as applied to an Italian, is
incorrect as well as impolite. It is a
contraction of Diego, pronounced “De
ay-go,” the patron saint of Spain.
All the older forms of “good-bye” ex
press the same idea. ‘.‘Good-bye” is
“God be with you!” “Adieu” and
“adios” are “I commend you to God.”
A neighbor is merely a “nigh boor,”
or the nearest farmer. “Boor” is in this
sense not an epithet, but the equivalent
of “Bauer” in German, or “BOer” in
Dutch.
The Bowery boys, themselves dwell
ers on a street named for a farm or
“bouwerle,” use “farmer” as an epithet.
Both “villa” and “town” were for
merly used to mean a farm. Gradually
the former came to mean a country resi
dence, the latter a collection of houses.
"Peck” was at first merely a basket of
any size. “Furlong” was a furrow long.
“Rivals” were those who dwelt on the
same brook and were apt to quarrel
about the water.

"Here ia a sentence that will puzzle

“She stood at the gate welcom—’* Then
there was a confused murmur that
sounded like “mingmlngmlng.” The

Halt and Fresh Water In This Lake.

ON HIS OFFICIAL DIGNITY.
He Read the Boy a Highly Moral Lec
ture and Then Warned Him Off- iH
From the Detroit Free Press. I Was
waiting for the Post Office at Hunts
ville to open in the morning and mean
while talking a bit to the colored Jan
itor, who was sweeping and dusting,
when a negro boy, about 15 years old,
came along and halted, and beckoned
the janitor to step aside. The old man
looked at him sharply, but did net
comply.
"Say, yo!’ called the young man.
There was no reply to this, and after
a minute he again called:
"Boy, what yo’ wants wld me?”
sternly demanded the janitor.
"I wants to speak wld yo’.”
“Who is yo’?"
"Yo’ know who I is. Yo’ Is dun en
gaged to my sister Evangeline.”
“Oh! yo’ is her brudder Sam. Waal,
what yo’ want?”
“Kin yo’ lend me ten cents?”
“On what ground, sah?”
“On de grounds dat yo’ Is gwine ti

“Boy, doan yo’ know noffln’ ’tall

as he raised his broom over his should

A NERVY BURGLAR.
He Correct* a Frofeaaloiial Mil take
Without Turning; ■ Hair.
From the Chicago Journal. Burglars
entered the apartments of Mrs. Kate
Calymore In the flat building at Twen
ty-sixth and State streets last Sunday
afternoon while the family were ab
sent. The thieves secured over $300
worth of Jewelry and $150 worth of
clothing. Among the lot of jewelry was
a pair of diamond bracelets, one of
which the thieves dropped in the hall
way in their haste to escape. The
bracelet was recovered and returned to
Mrs. Calymore. Monday the burglary
was reported to the police and a des
cription of the stolen property was tak
en, and yesterday afternoon a well
dressed young man called at the Caly
more apartments and stated that he
was an officer from the central station.
His next statement was that the police
had recovered what they thought was
part of her property, among which was
a diamond set bracelet. He desired
that he be allowed to take the bracelet
lost by the theives in older to com
pare it with the one recovered. Mrs.
Calymore obligingly made the loan,
.but bo far the Police Department has
not seen the bracelet. The latter are
thoroughly convinced that one of the
burglars was the author of a sharp
trick to obtain possession of the brace
let they dropped in the hallway and
officers of the Twenty-second street
station are working on the case, but
without result so far.
A Prairie Fire.
Describing a prairie Are in “The
World of Adventure,” the writer says:
“A more picturesque scene could hard
ly be imagined. The night was very
dark; but as far as the eye could reach,
all across the horizon, about four miles"
in front of us, was a broad, bright,
lurid glare of fire, with a thick canopy
of smoke hanging over it, whose fan
tastic wreaths ,as they curled in the
breeze, were tinged with the red re
flection of the flames. Even at that
distance we could hear the crackling
and rushing of the fire, which, as it ad
vanced, caused a strong wind; every
now and then a brighter flame would
shoot high up into the black cloud of
smoke over the top of the hill, Illumi
nating for an instant our tents and
wagons in the dark hollow, and giving
a momentary glimpse of the horses
which were picketed on the side of the
rise, on the crest of which the figures
of the men engaged In lighting the op
position fire—which, as It became too
extended .they beat down with blank
ets, only suffering It to burn a space
about tweve feet broad right across the
line of the advancing conflagration—
stood out in strong relief against the
glowing wall of light beyond them;
and as they ran, tossing their arms and
waving the blankets and little torches
of lighted grass, they looked In the dis
tance like demons rather than men.”
Bloodstone*.
Almost pvery jewel has a supersti
tion of some sort attaching to It, and
the bloodstone Is not wanting in this
particular. The story is told of it
that at the time of the crucifixion some
drops of blood fell on a piece of dark
green jasper that lay at the foot of the
cross. The crimson crept through the
structure of the stone, and this was the
parent of this beautiful jewel. The
dark-red spots and veins were sup
posed to represent the blood of Christ,'
and many wonderful properties were
attributed to the stone. It was thought
to preserve its wearer froom dangers,
to bring good fortune and to heal many
diseases.

“You say that I’m not altogether ob

ruefully.
“No” she replied; “father and mother
both speak very highly of you.”
"Then why does that big dog assault
me every time I come near and chew a
piece out of my clothes?”
"Oh, you mustn’t mind Brutus. He’s
trained .to do that. Aunty has gotten
almost enough samples from him to
make a lovely patch-work quilt”
