SPOTTER’S WARNING.
QUEER, white face,
ghastly as death,
glared In at the
window of Carl
Manning’s shanty.
Carl looked up from
> his book Instinct'
ively. He had heard
; no Bound, hut he
felt the presence,
and Just then the
moon Drone clear
from behind a cloud and he saw the
ghastly face distinctly.
"My God! How horrible!” he cried
involuntarily, and then, as the face dis
appeared as suddenly as it came, he
caught his hat from the peg by the door
and rushed out into the darkness after
it
Carl had been at Little Gulch only a
short time, but even a trifling stay was
long enough to learn the story of that
ghastly apparition. A miner’s daughter
had been cruelly murdered here in the
Gulch'years ago, and on every gusty,
moonlight night her face was seen at
some shanty window, and here Carl
paused in his hurried race, for he re
membered the end of the tradition.
"To see that face means death or
trouble,” he whispered in the darkness,
and then he grasped his stout stick
tighter. "There’s always trouble in the
world,” he muttered philosophically,
"and if it wasn’t for Kitty I should say
that death was welcome.”
He caught his hat Just as an eddying
gust raised it deftly from his head, and
then seeing how foolish was his search
in this Bhadowy darkness, turned
slowly from the task he had undertaken
and went back to his book in the little
shanty.
It was a copy of Poe that he was
reading, and as he picked it up again
he was amazed to find that the page
where he had stopped so suddenly had
been completely torn across the middle.
He stared at it vacantly at first, but
there it was, the beautiful rhythm of
“Annabel Lee” torn in a jagged line, as
if by hasty fingers, and search where
he would in the humble cabin the other
half of the page was nowhere to be
Carl sat down with his bach to the
window and began to ferret the matter
out.
“It was bad enough for her to scare
me half out of my senses,” he solilo
quized, “but to come in while I was
searching the place over for her and
tear my book is a little too mean for
anything.” He looked at the injured
volume ruefully and shook his head.
"Not another to be found within a
thousand miles, I’ll wager,” he mut
tered, bitterly, “and to think that 'An
nabel Lee,’ the prettiest poem in the
whole copy, should be the one she chose
to damage!”
And then he began thinking over tbfe
story of the murdered maiden. She had
been foujly killed by a jealous lover,
they said, and now no man at the Lit
tle Gulch but dreaded her acts of ghost
ly vengeance. It was a romantic story
in its way, and the more he thought of
it the more it came to him that "Anna
bel Lee” was not so Inappropriate
after all, and might bring some comfort
to the flitting spirit. For Carl -ras sure
It was none other than the ghostly vis
itor at his window who had entered his
cabin in his absence, and now, yes,
there was another presence In the
casing, but for a moment he found it
absolutely impossible for him to turn
around and face it.
But it was not necessary for him to
A Face Glared In at the Window,
look this time, for hia visitors were
each and all most tangible and more
over they were eager to make known
their presence.
Carl sprang to his feet In amazement
when a half dozen rough-clad miners
slouched through the door and stood
in a threatening group before him. He
knew instantly why they had come,
and then, curiously enough, the warn
ing of the dead girl’s face flashed sud
denly upon him.
“Too bad she couldn’t have peeped in
at me sooner,” he muttered beneath
his breath, “for then at least I could
have had my weapon and been ready
for this gang of ruffians.”
“You be a little surprised tew see we
’uns,” the foremost of his visitors said
coarsely, as he noticed Carl’s evident
agitation. “You thought you’d kivered
your tracks, you dog, an’ that we wus
all so stoopid in the Gulch ’at we
wouldn’t find out you wuz a spotter.”
Carl recovered himself instantly and
leaning back, now perfectly composed,
placed his elbow on the rude pine man
“You arc six to one, Mr. Johnson,” he
said coldly. “If you are not afraid of
me, send your men outside and we will
have a word in private.”
The moment his words escaped his
lips he was surprised at the conster
nation that he saw before him. In an
instant it occurred to him that they, too,
had seen the apparition, and ware.
■ i: :! h. ■ ...
thoroughly frightened of the darkness.
“There’s no use talkin’ to ns to
night,” the man Johnson said, with a
perceptible shudder, “for we’ve seen
the Spirit of the Gulch, an’ one an' all
we’ve had our warnin’.”.
Then as if the courage of his crowd
rested alone on prompt activity, he
drew a long, black rope from his pocket
and looped it over a convenient rafter.
Carl Manning braced himself and
looked the man squarely in the eye as
he finished his ominous contrivance.
"Call me what you will,” he said
Quietly, “l came out here in the inter
ests of the mine to learn exactly what
you were doing. If you were honest
you would not tear me, but as you are
only a pack of thieves and. murderers
you tremble at my presence here and
have brought your gang of six to one
to shoot me down or hang me.”
Then he folded his arms and raised
his head and his voice rang out deter
minedly:
“Do your worst, you pack of raven
ing wolves! Lay your plans to destroy
my work—plot your brave schemes to
take my life—prepare the noose, the
rope, the knife, have everything ready
to add one more murder to your list,
and then—then lay your hands upon me
—if you dare!” And his eyes glared at
them' savagely with the fury of an
angry tiger.
Hardly had his voice ceased to echo
through the shanty when one of the
ruffians sprang forward with a shout
and snatched his piBtol from the table.
"He is unarmed! Take him by force!”
he shouted, viciously, and the whole
gang surged forward together as if. to
tear his limbs asunder.
"Stand back!” Carl’s voice rang out
boldly, then quick as lightning his arm
shot forth and a blow felled the nearest
brute to the floor. Then, just as he re
covered himself for a second attack,
his eyes were drawn irresistibly to
ward the window, where once more the
ghastly face of the girl peered in upon
the scene before her.
“Look there!” Carl whispered tragi
cally, as he pointed toward the window.
"There is the ghost of your murdered
girl! How dare you think to slay an
As if expecting and dreading this
very apparition, the men turned, almost
with one accord, and glanced in fear
at the narrow window. There was a
shriek from one, a curse from another,
and, seing his chance in that moment
of horror, Carl sprang forward and
wrenched hlB pistol from the leader’s
hand, and for a second the whole place
bellowed with the rapid emptying of its
chambers.
Springing over that jumble of writh
ing forms, Carl hurriedly collected his
papers, and then remembering, even In
his danger, the volume of poems, he
snatched the book from the table and
thrust it into his pocket Then he
picked his way carefully across the
rocks, a few stray bullets keeping him
ominous company, and by running al
ways in the shadow, was Boon far away
from the little shanty.
“There is a train at eleven,” he whis
pered to himself, “that will take me
east of the Mississippi,” and then he
stopped running, almost too suddenly,
as another vision came swiftly upon
him.
“Kitty!" he called tenderly; "Kitty,
darling, is it you, or am I still in the
land of spirits?” ,
Without a sound the young girl hur
ried toward him and threw herself into
his outstretched arms. “Take me with
you,” she sobbed frantically. “Take
me with you or they will kill me too,”
and Carl, almost without a thought of
what he was doing, half led, half car
ried her to the station.
* • •
A year later in their Eastern house,
Carl Manning and his wife sat down
for their after-dinner chatting.
"So old Tom Johnson was not your
father, after all,” Carl said over and
over, as though the repetition of the
words were something more than ordi
narily pleasant. Then he took her on
his knee and his face assumed a
thoughtful expression.
“Well, I am glad I did not kill him,
any way,” he said softly, “although
the owner of the mine says I might just
as well. have done so, for I crippled
every man of them that evening.” Then
he smiled more tenderly Into her eyes
as he added in a lighter tone: “But
what I am sorry for, little one, is that
I did not wait to solve the mystery of
that woman’s face, for as I live, it was
she that saved me!”
Without a word Kitty slid down from
his knee and began ransacking in her
box of treasures. “Will this help you
any to lay her ghost?" she said, merri
ly, and then she unfolded before his
astonished eyes the half of his poem,
“Annabel Lee,” and tried to smooth
out the jagged edges.
In Hard Luck.
In Chicago recently, Richard Burns,
said to be a dangerous man, was ar
rested and ordered to leave town. He
was before Justice Underwood and was
asked to explain why he did not depart
according to orders
“Your honor,” answered Burns, “I
have tried to leave town and simply
can’t do it. As soon as I was ordered
to go I went to the Rock Island tracks
and flipped a train. A brakeman saw
me and kicked me off before the train
reached Thirty-third street. Then I
went over to the Santa Fe yards and got
into a box car. Somebody came along
and ran,me out with a club. Next I
tried the Northwestern and I’ll never
go there any more. By this time, your
honor, I was so lame I could hardly
walk. Nevertheless I started out on
foot and walked toward the drainage
canal. A farmer came out of the first
farm house I passed and set a dog on
me. The dog chased me back into the
city, and here I am again!”
Burns <was given a small fine and
promised to swim across the lake,
I necessary, to get away from town.
SURVIVAL OF NSW NOVELS,
rmemtac* of Books That Gala EaSor*
Khm Is Kstrsassljr Basall.
It la aaid that th« American publish*
era have In preaa over two hundred
new novels which are likely to be la*
sued between now and the holidays.
The statement is easily credible. In
1890 they issued 1,118 novels; In 1891,'
1.105; in 1892, 1,102, and in 1893, 1,132.
This average of three novels put on the
market for every day in the year in
eludes Imported* books Issued by Bug
Hsh houses and published in New Tork
by their resident agents, but it does
not include the publications of the
“minor cheap libraries.” The English
publishers issue about the same num
ber of novels yearly as the American.
In 1893, an average year, they Issued
new novels and 893 reprints.
The interesting question of what be
comes of all this mass of “literature”
is answered only in part by the flve
cent counters. Many of these books
must fail to obtain the honorable if
humiliating usefulness the live-cent
counters offers to those for whom the
dollar shelves are no longer tenable.
They do not circulate at all. A few
copies are sent to the newspapers. The
author distributes complimentary cop
ies among his acquaintances, and he
is fortunate if he finds even among his
Intimate friends those who can recall
the title of his work within six months
after its publication. That “among
nine bad If one be good there’s still
one good In ten” is a comforting
thought, but It hardly applies to con
temporaneous fiction, for hardly one in
a thousand and cestalnly not one in a
hundred of the novels published stands
the only sure test of merit as a novel—
that of survival. Only In rare in
stances do they outlive their first year.
The man whose book actually lives ten
years may set himself down as a genius
whether the critics think so or not.
Only once or twice in a generation do
writers appear whose stories have
enough of universal human nature in
them to survive their generation. And
this is all as It should be. It is well
enough for the most worthless of all
worthless books to be written if it real
ly represents an asplsatlon to produce
something worth the attention of the
world, but it is better still that swift
and merciful oblivion should cover fail
ure. In novels as in everything else the
fittest should be the survivors. And
in the long run they always are.
JOSEPHINE WAS MERCIFUL.
flh« Triad to Fntmi the EnmUm af
tha Dm d’Kaghton.
Mme. Bonaparte leaned with Intense
sorrow of the determination taken by
her husband. In the main his measures
and his convictions had been kept a
secret, but she confided both to «m«
de Remusat, and the first consul him
self had told them to Joseph. On the
20th the decree for the duke’s impris
onment and trial was dictated by the
first consul from the Tulleries, and In
the early afternoon he returned to Mal
malson, where at three o’clock Joseph
found hlfh strolling in the park, con
versing with Talleyrand, who limped
along at his side. ‘‘I’m afraid of that
cripple,” was Josephine’s greeting to
her brother-in-law. "Interrupt this
long talk If you can.”
The mediation of the elder brother
was kindly and skillful, and for a time
the first consul seemed softened by the
memories of his own and his brother's
boyhood, among which came and went
the figure of the Prince of Conde. But
other feelings prevailed; the brothers
bad differed about Lucien’s marriage
and the question of descent tf the con
sular power should become hereditary;
the old coolness finally settled down
and chilled the last hopes in the tender
hearted advocates for clemency. To
Josephine’s tearful entreaties for
mercy, her husband replied: "Go away;
you’re a child; you don’t understand
public duties.” By five It was known
that the duke bad arrived ,at Vin
cennes,. and at once Savary was de
spatched to the city for orders from
Murat, the military commandant. On
his arrival at Murat’s office, from
which Talleyrand was in the very act
of departing, he was Informed that the
court martial was already convened,
and that It would be his duty to guard
the prisoner and execute whatever sen
tence was passed.—"Litfe of Napoleon,”
by Prof. Wm. M. Sloafie, In the Cen
tury.
Napoleon's Death-Bed Statement,
When Napoleon was on his death bed
a maladroit attendant read from an
English review a bitter arraignment of
him as guilty of the duke’s murder.
The dying man rose, and catching up
his will, wrote in his own hand: “I had
the Due d’Enghlen seized and tried be
cause It was necessary to the safety,
the interest, and the honor of the
French people, when by his own con
fession the Comtv d’Artois was sup
porting sixty assassins in farls. Under
similar circumstances I would again
do likewise.” Nevertheless he gave
himself the utmost pains on certain oc
casions to unload the entire responsi
bility on Talleyrand. To Lord Ebrlng
ton, to O’Meara, to Las Cases, to Mon
tholon, he asseverated that Talleyrand
had checked his impulses to clemency.

FI8HINO FORSTUBQEON.
It I* Good, Hard Work to Pull One of
Thom In*
The fishermen along the river at Es
sex and Saybrook are now engaged in
sturgeon fishing. Few are aware of the
methods used to catch this monster of
the waters, for a monster It surely is,
often weighing 600 pounds or more.
The sturgeon fisherman is compelled
to use good judgment and master his
prey when caught, for the fish are des
perate as well as powerful. The net is
Of the same style as an ordinary fish
ing seine, the meshes being fourteen
inches square of twenty-seven thread
twine. This thread would not he suf
ficient to hold the fish when caught be
cause of its great strength and shape,
but no sooner is it caught in the seine
than it becomes entangled in the loose
twine and the work of landing him in
the fishing boat begins. The fishermen
know when the fish is in the net, for
the seine corks begin to sink and danci
on the water, as though electrified. Two
fishermen in the boat approach this
troubled spot, gradually haul in what
is known as the cork line and the mon
ster is raised till the lantern reveals
lth position. Then the hatchet is used
on its head with repeated blows, after
which the fish is allowed to remain sub
merged for a time until life is thought
to be extinct But the fishermen are
often deceived, for the sturgeon may
nave oeen playing possum, as Mr. imu
lels and Mate Brockway, of Hamburg,
will testify. They recently had a mid
night encounter with a 450-pound stur
geon, which, after being safely landed
in the boat, came to life in good shape
and proceeded to take charge not only
of the boat, but of the crew in such a
manner that the frightened fishermen
, started their boat for shore and final-,
ly reached it, but neither was able to
tell how, so excited were they. The fish
lived two hours and wasted no time; it
succeeded in breaking two of the boards
and one oar, as well as tearing the sail
which was stowed in the forward part
of the boat. This fish was considered
one of the most desperate kind of the
sturgeon species, being known as the
"bull nose,” which does not often leave
salt for fresh water. In gone-by shad
fishing days when a sturgeon got in a
seine with a shad it was always sure
to liberate the whole catch by tearing
a large hole in what is called the
"bust.” These fish are always dreaded
by the shad fishermen. Their time for
visiting these waters is from the mid
dle of June to tho first of September,
and, like the swallows, all go—or seem
to go—In one day.—Hartford Couruit,
The Threndlwra Apology.
