"I hnd 11 mighty good mnl In them day a, nniniil Mluty; hut I reckon ho'a dead, for ho wan kvortewt nliout talk and llrenrma wbeneyor lie got on a npreo, which wa most every clinnce. Me ami Mlnty wiu down at Ban Ucrmirtllno, when word conic that pny dirt vtan atruuk mighty rich up at Dead Squnw'a Gulch, near Owcn'a lake, "Wo ttruck out to wuncc, and when we got up thur we found the dlgglnn In full blast nnd every one chuck full of hope and a-tulkln nights of callln the place 'Mouutnln City' Instead of Dead Squaw's Gulcb, which I'll allow hasn't n pleasant sound. We foupd tents nml shacks, built, and of course there wan the usual gang of sneakln gamblers cuss 'cm, how I do hate 'em nnd thnr was a grand Blerrr aloou, whnr kennls were plnyed nnd hard whisky drunk at nil hours, nnd a lot of pore painted things In short skcerta danced at night. "A mall route was opened to Los An gelea, but beyond that thnr was no slgr. of law, nnd as a coiiMekeuco wo bed to pen a graveyard up tho hill, and most very moriiln we plunted some one who'd been killed down at tho saloon tho night before. If the klllin bad stopped then It wouldn't 'n' been so bad, buwo soon found out that honest, sober men, Hz hnd families at home, wire being murdered In their $Viu jest to rob thorn of the dust they'd gathered. " 'Bout this tlmo Cnn'n Bolton, who was n mlnln sharp and gln'ral specklatcr, kem to Dead Squaw's Gulch with his wife. The cap'u was a fine lookln man of forty, but, oh, my I what n rrg'lar little beauty that wlfo was, to lie sure nndsolnncrcent. The Uoltons lived in n little cabin 'way off from ev'ry one else, but tho enp'n was alius along to help on law uud order, so when the honest miners began to be robbed and kilt wo formed a vigilance committee, andasCap'n Uolton no one axed where he got his title was a cap'n already, we 'leotcd him cap'n for keeps. "All went mighty lovely for a little while. Then the klllin nnd robbln began again, and Cap'n Uolton and the vigilantes was forever on a blind trail, nnd we was almost discouraged. Wo uster to send in our dust to Los Angeles with Mike Mul len, who carried the mail once a work on a buckboard. Mlko had been a sojer.nnd he was brave as a gristly and honest as a hull skyful of suns. "Mike started off bright and early one tnorpln to go to Ios Angeles, n three days' trip, but ho hadn't been gone inore'n three houra when the horse with the buckboard kem a-tear In back to camp, with the mall bag and the gold dust gone, and Mike Mullen him n-dyin on the scat. 'Twas inl and my pard that lifted tho driver off, for ho was powerful bod shot, and nny man but 'him would 'a' been dead. After we got a little whisky into hi m he opened his eyea and said: " 'Boys, 'twas Cap'n Bolton that laid for me and sprung on me unbeknownst down at tho Divide. Say you'll do for him us he's did for me, and I'll die happy.' "You can Just gamble that wo was nil 'stonlshed, but we promised Mike, and then he said, 'I'm n-goin, boysl' and he went. . "Wn-al, we started down to Bolton's, but as we neared thar Mrs. Bolton enme out with a rifle in her hand and axed what we wanted, and we said we wanted the cap'n most powerful bad. She said he was right down sick all night, and she'd thank us if we'd come some other time, so's not to 'sturb him. Then I up and told that we must have him, and she ran into the house, closed the door, and next thing we k no wed two rifles was a-pointin at us through the chinks, so we lit out. "All day we kept a watch on the cabin to see that the cap'n didn't escape, and as we had time on hand we made up bundles of dry sagebrush ami wood, and when It kem dark we rolled Jlem down, determined to smoke the cap'n out or to roast him in side, if so be he perfar'd that, "All this time tfie two kept up a fire and three of our men were wounded, so when It kem night, we was all just wild for re venge, but' we didn't want to hurt the woman, though I'll allow she wasn't Jest what wo believed her when we worshiped PUieTrAcks' of herllttle shoes In the sand, We wanted the cup'n to come out nnd be 'deegutlhangetlvbia be said he'd see us all further first. Tlien, we called to the worn an.'vild she'lowed she'd stand by her him; band. , "Waal, to make n long story short, my pan! struck a light with his flint and Keel, ami as the pile was dry as powder, . up she flared and flashed, and wa crept fmck to watch what followed. Soon nu wed the woman a-ruiinln toward us ii-shriekln, hut when she came up she didn't faint, hut sat down on n rock nnd watched the lire. "The next morning thar was only an ash heap whnr that cnbin hnd been, nml thar was no sign of u human thar; the cup'n hnd gone back to dust. Hut what do you sup poM that Vr woman did nextr" nml Hoggs puiiMil ami begun to (HI his pipe. "I suppose," I mild at a venture, "that she secured the blackest dress the camp afforded, and then turned her buck on Dead Squaw's Gulch." "No, sir, sliedldn'tdotiothluof the kind. She knowed that the cap'n hud a great tot of gold dust ubotit his clothes when lie hlnxcil out, so shu waited till the uslies got good nnd cool: then shelsirrowed a tin dish from inc what for, do you think f" "Itcully, Hoggn, I can't Imagine." "Why, to gather up the captain's oslies"-- "For burial r" "No, sir; for keeps. Why, she carried her husband's ashes down to the crik, nml she punned 'em out us cool ns you plense. And the man that married her thu follerlu week said she made right smart by the operation." Tliut Old Krontlvrimun. There were a half doen men, all rich ami Jolly, sitting lu the HolTinaii House cafe the other night discussing the Chicago fair, when a tall man with long gray hair nml beard, buckskin pants, a broad, but rather dilapidated slouch hat nnd other signs of time and adversity stood before them. "Hy Jovel" whispered one ns the nppurl tlon halted, "It looks us If the ghost of Cooier's IjcnthcrKtocking hud comu buck from the grave." "I'unlou me, gents, fo' Interriiptln ol you," said the old man with a self depreca tory manner uud nu Intonation that sug gested the frontier of the dead past, "but If so be my curs didn't deceive, me, I hccril you a-talkln 'bout Shecagof" "Yes, my friend," responded Colonel Ochiltree, "that is the subject we hud under discussion. Cnn you throw nny light on Itr" "Throw uuy light on Itr" repealed the old mini, with 11 laugh so hollow as to sug gest bis Mug empty to the tips of his toca "Why, 'way buck in 1KJ1, when Shecugu was the name of a krik, nnd not much of u krik nuttier, uud the settlement was culled Fort Deurborif, 1 was out thar as a hunter and Interpreter." "Great Scott I" cried one, "that Is sixty years ago I" "I'resactly sixty year ago," said the frontiersman. "And you weru there thenr" "I was, stranger," and tho old man drew himself proudly up. "Why, how old are your" "A-rlsln eighty-one." "You don't look It." "No, stranger; but they say it man Is as old tut he feels, and I feel some times, more particklar dnce I've comu on bar to see the east, from which my undo tuk me as n orphan boy of six, as if I could give old Methusulu pints on agu. Any of you gents ever hear of old Heaubleur" Ho looked over the rosy nnd now Inter cslcd faces nbout the tnblo without getting m response, and then proceeded: "Old Bcnubicn wns a Frenchman, uud he hod n trading store lu my early days right near the mouth of Chicago krik, and nny one might hnvu had all the hind in sight for fenciu it In, but there wasn't any fencln stuff In sight. Then theru was old Colonel Owen ever hear of hiiur" "Not of your Colonel Owen," said the Phcebus haired Texan. "Wa'nl, he was the fust Injun agent out thar, ami ?mj ktc Jist bet ho mudo it pay. Why, I can rekmcniber the fust tavern, that was in 1833, and It was n double log shanty, and the guests slept outdoors from choice. Then there was old General Brady, over hear of hltur" "Mo." "Nor of Jedgo Bellf" "No." "Nor tho hanging of SI Luntr" "No." "Then, strangers, you don't nono of you know Shccngo like me. And let me say, gents, that whin thnt big fair comes off that ar city will be the biggest and most wonderful part of the great show. Pardon tho Intrusion of n poor old frontiersman, for that's all I'vo got to say," The old man was about to hurry away when Tom Ochiltree laid a restraining hand oil his arm, while another passed around tho hat, into which at least twenty dollars was dropped. A few ulghls after this I chanced into a down town placo where thu same old man was telling an interested crowd of his ex perieuce In southern prisons durlug the war. Ho declared that he was only fifty two years of age, but privation had made him old before his time. "Tho Top Kail." "Yes," said the captain, who win, a veteran trooper, "I almost blush when I recall how little mercy our boys showed during tho wur for chicken coops nnd fence rails, nnd lot me say tho Confederates re sembled the men In bluo in thnt respect. "But, nfter nil, I don't think wo should blnme men who, tired out with a long march, preferred dry nnd convenient fence rails to green uud uncut timber. "Of course, our superior ofllcera tried to stop the destruction of the fences. Daniel O'Conuell, to illustrate tho effect of wealth on courts of law, said he 'could drive u coach and four through nny act of parlla ment,' and I often think of that when I re called how our boys got over the orders against burning fence rails. "Seeing the men would have rails, Gc;v entl Buull Issued an onler commanding that henceforth only such mils should be burned as 'were found broken)' Well, the boys were tickled. Ouu gang went ahead and religiously broke tho rails, and another crowd followed uud gathered In tho pieces all In accordance with orders. "Seeing that the 'broken rail' rule de feated itself, the general put on his think ing cup, and by way of a compromise between the soldier and fence owner, he Issued an order that 'hereafter only the top rails of a fence shall be taken for fuel.' Then the boys fairly roared with delight; for, dou't you see, there must always be 'a top rail' so long as there are two? After that there were no more rail orders, and there were not so many rails burned." Alkhk.I) K. Calhoun. The Love of the Dog. Ouida, the novelist, writes: ".The sym pathy of your dog Is unfailing, unobtru sive. If you are sad, so is he: and if you are merry, none Is so willing to leap and laugh with you ns he. For your dog you are never oor. The attachment, of the dog to mail outweighs and almost obliter ates attachment In him to his own race. Tlien.' is Something shocking to our high ophrioi-bf him In the callousncks with which he will sniff nt the stltT body of n brother dog; he will follow his muster to tho grue uud sometimes ilu on It."

Somu years ago an English engineer, now prominent lu the official management ol one of our great railroads, was superln tending the construction of n new road In Pennsylvania. After supper ouu evening ho strolled Into the "settin room" of the country tavern, where nomo twenty men weru seated around the stove, smoking nml chatting. A regular down east Yankee wns ex pounding the remnrkablu strength of the nrch, Its use nnd application in mechanics. nnd Illustrating his remarks by pawing a half bushel measure. "You nln't no Idee," snld ho, "how strong the arch is, If yo set It right If ye know how. Now there's tho egg; nothin't got u prettier arch thnn the egg, and II you set I right It's mighty strong. Why. I kin set un egg on this floor In such shnpe that ye can't lircik It with this half bushel measure." A general murmur of sneering disbcllct ran around the room, but tho Yankee was game, "I snld I kin, and I kin, nnd I'll bet the drinks for the crowd on It." The engineer hated a Yankee, nnd though a reserved man, he could not permit a Ynn kce to hi ii IT a whole party with such an arrogant nnd preposterous statement, to he quietly snld: "I will ake that bet." An egg was brought In from tho kitchen and handed to the Yankee. Ho took It nnd stood it upon thu floor in tho corner ot tho room, where the measure could.i't reach. Tho engineer did not even attempt to (ill a square corner with u round measure, but paid for thu drinks ami retired, sadder and wiser. Coaster's Magazine. lie Was Wise. There's nt least one lawyer in Detroit who has his doubts about the Immortality ot human affairs, and ho is a serious man with a wife. It is his custom to put on his ofllco door, when ho Is going out tern porurily, notices somewhat of tills charac ter: "Gone to lunch; back In half nn hour." "Gonb to court; bnck lu three hours." "Gone out to see a man; bnck In ten min utes." And so ou, ns tho circumstances mny ro quire, und nshe is n prompt mnn, callers nru generally successful in waiting for him. One day lost week a caller found this on his door, "Gone shopping with my wife: bnck the Lord only knows when." Tho caller being a married man himself didn't wait; neither did four ladles who called lu a body, for they were going nhop plug themselves. Detroit Free Press. A Good Investment.
