SPOTTER’S "WARNING.
QUEER, white race,
ghastly an death,
glared la at the
window ol Carl
Manning's shanty.
Carl looked up from
i his book instinct
ively. He had heard
no sound, but he
felt the presence,
and Just then the
moon broke clear
fiom 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 iqto 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 lust as an eddying
gust raised it deftly from bis head, and
then seeing how foolish was bis Bearcb
in this shadowy darkness, turned
slowly from the task he had undertaken
and went back to his book in the little
shanty.
It was a copy of Foe that he was
reading, and as he picked it up again
he was amazed to find that the pago
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
found.
Carl sat down with his bade 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 la while I was
searching the plaoe over fur her and
tear my book is a little too mean far
anything.” He looked at the injnred
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 the
story of the murdered maiden. She had
been foully killed by a Jealous lover,
they said, and now no man at the Litr
tie 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 -vas sure
It was none other than the ghostly vis
itor at his window who had entered bis
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
•round and face it.
But it was not necessary for him to
A Pace Glared In at the Window,
took this time, tor hie 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
whon 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
nls 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 w«
*uns,” the foremost of his visitors said
oearsely, as he noticed Carl's evident
agitation. “You thought you'd kivered
your tracks, you dog, an’ that we wua
all so stoopld In the Gulch ’at w«
wouldn’t find out you wua a spotter.”
Carl recovered himself Instantly and
leaning back, now perfectly composed
placed his elbow on the rude pine man
tel.
"You are six to one, Mr. Johnson,” h<
„ said eoldly. “If you are not afraid ol
me, tend your men outside and we will
have a word In private.”
The moment his words escaped hit
lips he was surprised at the conster
nation that the saw before him. In at
Instant it occurred to him that they, too
had seen the apparition, and wan
thoroughly frightened of the darkness.
“There's no use talkin’ to us 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, “I came out here in the inter
ests of the mine to learn exactly what
you were doing. If you were honest
yon would not fear 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
lo 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 wb'-a one of the
ruffians sprang forward with a shout
and snatched his pistol from tho table.
"He is unarmed! Take Mm by force!”
he shouted, viciously, akd 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,
bis eyes were drawn Irresistibly to
ward the window, where once more th*
ghastly face of the girl peered In upu»
the scene before her.
"Look there!” Carl whispered tragi
cally, its he pointed toward the window
“There is the ghost of your murdered
girl! How dare you think to slay an
other?”
as it expecting ana areaaing tms
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, Being his chance in that moment
of honor, Carl sprang forward ind
wrenched his pistol from the leader’s
hand, and far a second the whole place
bellowed with the rapid emptying of its
chambers.
Springing over that jumble of writh
ing forraB, Carl hurdedly collected his
papers, and then remembering, even in
his danger, the volume of poems, he
snatched the book from the table and
tbrust jt Into his pocket. Then he
picked his way carefully across tbe
rocks, a few stray bullets keeping hirn
ominous company, and by running al
ways In the shadow, was soon far away
from the Itttle 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,
m 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 Che 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 tea,”
and Carl, almost without a thought of
what he was doing, half led, hail car
ried her to the station. ,
* • •
A year later in their Eastern bouse,
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 rf the
words were something more than ordi
narily pleasant. The* he took her on
his knoo 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
•very 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
l did not wait to solve the mystery of
that woman’s face, for aa I live, u was
she that aaved 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.

QUEEN A MILKMAID.
WILHELM IN A A BENEFIT TO
PUBLIC HEALTH.
Crges Her Subject! to Test the Virtues
of Ass's Milk—Royal Friends Asked
to Help—To Those Who Need
Strength.
HE Hague Corres
^pondence: Little
Queen Wilhelmina
had a very busy
ante-holiday sea
son, as the letters
addressed by her
youthful majesty
to other monarchB
throughout Europe
imposed upon the
writer consider
All uuciiug
asual congratulations to her “Good
Brothers” and “Good Sisters”—as
the form of address between
royal personages rcids—she asked each
to consider a little scheme of her own
for the good of the poor of all lands,
enclosing at the same time medical re
ports and statistics from the royal don
key farms, of which there are now flvs
in number.
Queen Wllhelmina is the largest don
key ranchero on the continent, and
having personally experienced the nu
tritiousness of ass’s milk is anxious to
popularize the custom among wealthy
women to keep a number of donkeys for
the purpose of donating their milk for
the use of poor Infants and invalids.
Several years ago Queen Wilhelmina
was pretty generally believed to be suf
fering from consumption; her father.
King William III., was sixty-three years
old at her birth, and much the worse
for sickness and dissipation. The child
was weak and pale during the first ten
or twelve years of her life, and Wilhel
mina being the last of her race the
Hollanders became almost reconciled
to the thought that their beloved coun
try would sooner or later he swallowed
up by one of its big neighbors. But
one day, upon the occasion of a visit to
her mother’s brother, the Prince of
waiaeck, wilhelmina learned that they
bring np weakly children in many of
the poorer regiouis of Germany on ass's
milk with the best possible results.
She resolved at once to try the outlan
dish remedy, and although her taste re
velted her strong mind was victorious
in the end. As a consequence she re
turned from Pyrmont with elastic step
and rosy cheeks, and all Holland was
delighted when the people learned of
the change for the better that had taken
place in the condition of their youthful
sovereign.
Several wealthy Netherlanders now
presented the child-queen with donkeys
of more or less high degree, and soon
there was more ass’s milk in the royal
larder than the young mistress could
concume. Then Wilhelmina and her
mother went on tours of inspection in
the poorer quarters of The Hague and
Rotterdam, and wherever they discov
ered a wee baby or a consumptive need
ing special nourishment they sent bot
tles of ass’s milk, with a good-natured
command that the child or Invalid
should be fed on it. The Netherland
ers are a headstrong race, very much
opposed to innovation. The novel gift
was therefore not always appreciated,
and some people protested quite vig
orously against partaking of the “nasty
stuff.” To these parties the two queens
traveled on foot or "by carriage, as the
case might be, and when Wilhelmina
had told her own experience with ass’s
milk, the “kickers” generally gave in,
and those depending upon their advice
were better for it afterward.
Pretty soon reports came in from all
sides about the wonderful cures ef
fected by this natural remedy, and Wil
helmina resolved to increase her stock
of donkeys, adding several pairs to each
of the royal estates. From there the
milk is shipped to those in want of it
in the cities and around the country.
Other rich women followed the leader
ship of their young and lovely sovereign
and, thanks to this, ass’s milk has be
come quite a common article of nour
ishment in the Netherlands.
