"I have just been readiig a strange story of tho 'Lost Cabin Mine' in an old Evening Sun which I found In a pigeon hole of in j desk," said a prominent Wall street banker ysterday afternoon. "Kit down a few momenta and I will tell you another 6 1 ran go story of a lott mine," ho continued, "and one that was rather costly to me. Tliat truth is stranger than fiction is a wis old saying. There is very little romance which enters into the life of a professional Wall street man. As a rule, ho is ever ready to grasp after the almighty dollar, and I confess that I am no exception to this rule, and many times during my life havo I invested money In wildcat enterprises looking more for a possibility than a probability. These enterprises to which I allude I en tered into in my younger days. I thought that I had fettled down into a conserva tive business man; but I found, about nine months ago, that my disposition to lieconie tho richest man in tho world had got tho U'tter of ray good judgment, and tho strange, weird story which I am about to relate will explain itself. "For a numlior of years I havo had a 6pcaking acquaintance with a Brooklyn school teacher. 1 lost suAt of him for nbout two years, when fwas surprised to see him walk into my oUice a year ago. IIt asked nie if I knew where ho could rent an oflice, and told mo that on account of ill health ho was compelled to give up school teaching. I have five rooms here, and as I need but four, I told him that ho could havo tho back room at a nominal rent, lie seemed de lighted with the proposition, and moved in the next day. He put out a shingle, Money to Loan,' but I noticed that he lmd no customers. "Two or three weeks after his occu pancy of the oUice I noticed that ho be came less erratic in his business hours, lie began to arrive at 9 o'clock in the morning and would remain until 4 in the afternoon locked in the office. Shortly after he developed this regularity in his business hours I met a man in the ball whose unusual appearance attracted my attention. lie was tall, attenuated to a marked degree, of sallow complexion, smooth face, twinkling, ferret like eyes and hair of shining blackness which hung down upon his shoulders. Ho was at tired in a suit if rusty black. The coat was an oil fashioned frock cut and but toned tightly to his throat, lie wore a broad brimmed t!nich hut. In his hand lie carried the father of all" umbrellas, a great big gingham affair that would keep the rain oir four eople. and looked as though it might have l4onged to one of our revolutionary grandfathers. "I lecr-ine interested and -stopped to ce what Ids destination was. He moved ?along with. a quick though shambling step and tapjx?d lightly ujon my school teacher neighlor8 door. It was opened and he disappeared within. I heard the lolt click ;is tho door was locked from the inside, and I turned into my office with a pivuliur feeling that I would like to know who this strange person was. "I saw him come every day, usually rnbout tho same time in tho day," con tinued the banker, "and he would re main closeted with tho school teacher for several hours. At last he disap peared and my curiosity got the better of me. I made up my mind to ask the school teacher who his friend was, par ticularly as I noticed that he had clianged his shingle to read, 'Mining Engineer.' "J learned from the school teacher that his friend was a spiritualistic me dium, and then he ttartled mo with the assertion that ho had located the 'Sans Spiritu Mine.' You must know that this mine is the richest mino In the worjd; was worked before Cortez entered Mex ico, but for over a hundred years it lina leen lost. The school teacher's assertion rather staggered me, but I laughed in credulously. " You needn't laugh,' said he, 'I have found it and I have a man locating it within a stone's throw. Two years ago I went to Mexico oa a vacation. I am somewhat of a physician and happened to save the life of an old negro woman who was formerly a housekeeper for a padre. Thi padre was tho only person alive who knew tho location of the mine, and when he died he divulged the secret to the negress, who, in turn, divulged it to me.' "Thi of course?, was interesting after tlis fashion of dime novels, and I did pot take much Ktock in his story until I saw that be was really ia earnest. Ho un locked his desk :md took two rolls of tracian' jier out. One of them he showed uie and said: "This is my orig inal mup. The mine lies 400 miles from the Gu!i of Mexico, and Vera Cruz is the seaport to i:. Tho other roll contains a map drawn by the clairvoyant whom you inquired about. Ho has nev,er seen my map, yet l.e has drawn almost a fao 'piile of It. wiih the exception of a few minor details. I am not a Spiritualist, bat I met this rwui and ho bragged of his wonderful powers, and I gave him if he successfully accomplished Ids ob ject. Ho does not know what he has drawn, and I am tho only person in 1 tho world who can put his hand on the long lost Sans Spiritu Mine. "I confess that the fellow made an im pression on rap," continued the banker, after lighting a cigar and gazing thought fullv at f.he smoke rings for a moment. VI then' asked him' for further details; but ho would givo me none, further than, that the old negress was dead." I asked hiui what it would cost to work the mine, and how he was tUcL Ha replied " 'I have pevcr ; eon the mine, but from Mme manuAcripti I havo of the padre's 1 judge that there are untold millioiu la sight. Of course It will take some ruonev to fit out an expedition, but I think' the output of a month's work will nay for all tho mills necessary. My idea Is to secretly charter a- schooner, provis ion it for ay pno to three months, put aboard tho necessary tools to work the rnfnp on pie quiet until J get enough pu to acquire thd mine lawfully, but 1 an without funds, unfortunately. 'Well. I bit like a shark. Heavens, how the blood rushed through my heart! i I knew the school , teacher to be a repu- j table man. He showed me the padre's j pi?-:" -Tip3, written IV Fr. V which tho sc hool teacher was a rnAStcr. He read it to me, and it sounded like an Aladdin's Wonderful I-arap story. TIhj upshot of tho matter was that I agreed then and there to interest myself in form ing a stock company. The next day I brought four of my Wall street friend into the school teacher's oflice and ho laid Ida subject before them. They bit as quickly as I did and I subscribed $-0,- 000 and the others $10,000 each. We chartered a schooner, provisioned her for three months, put ten miners aboard of her, gave the school teacher $o,000, and ho set sail for Vera Cruz. We waited one, two, three months and no news from the schooner. Then I tele graphed to Vera Cruz, asking if the schooner was there. The reply was that it had been there nearly two months and empty. This was news, any way; but wlirn another month rolled by and noth big further was heard we became suspi cious and sent a detectivo down there. Ho telegraphed in cipher tliat the crew had been discliarged, the miners paid a month's wages, and were there waiting further orders from the school teacher, who was Pooh Bali of the schooner and mine. "A week later came another telegram, in which the detective reiiorted that ho had ascertained the fact that the school teacher had sold the provisions at a good pro lit and had left Vera Cruz with a very handsome woman, with whom he seemed to be infatuated. Wo did a little swearing and then telegraphed the de tective to find him, and by hook or crook bring him back. A month later in walked our detective and the school teacher. He had followed him to El Paso del Norte, got him across the river on a friendly quest and then nabbed him. The school teacher seemed to be all broken up and told me to get tho stockholders together, which I did inside of ten minutes, for my messenger found them all on the floor of tho Stock Exchange. I felt sorry for the poor school teacher when he stood there with lowed head, taking without a murmur the whirlwind of execrations which were hurled at him. " 'Now explain yourself,' shouted an angry stockholder. "Tho live of us were seated around the table and tho school teacher leaning against the mantel. " 'Gentlemen,' said he, 'I confess that 1 have wronged you, but I was tempted by a woman with the face of an angel and tho heart of a devil a heart as black as the hinges of hell. Rather than bury myself in tho trackless waste without her I throw up everything for her. She got my money and deserted me, but 1 will make amends. The mine is there. I will go again. See, I have the map yet! I have never parted with it, not for an instant.' "'Oh, that's a likely 6tory. You're nothing but a bunco and Sing Sing catches you,' was the irate interjection of a gentleman on my right. "Oh! don't say that,' pleaded the schoolteacher; 'don't say that. Just one more chance, and he tottered over to the table, laying the map where all could see it. 'Seel Ilere is the road to millions, hundreds and thousands of millions. Just one more chance, gentlemen.' "Not a word was spoken, and you could havo heard a pin drop as we turned our eyes on tho man. My God! will I ever forget it! His face was as white as a sheet, and his fingers clutched ner vously at hi3 map; he threw one hand convulsively to his heart and then fell forward upon the table. "He was dead dead, sir, of apoplexy. We quietly took the Inxly to his lionie in Brooklyn, and tho Friday following he was buriedJ think in Greenwood. Wc have his map and tho padre's letters, but we lind that we might as well hunt for a needle in a haystack as to hunt for the 'Sans Sniritu mine,' as there is no indi cation in which direction from Vera Cruz the mine lies. The landmarks are on tho map, but it's a lifetime work to hunt a trackless waste for landmarks, so we concluded to pocket our loss and keep the matter a secret," Tiny Tim's Appetite. In the "Christmas Carol" Mr. "Webster provided a real goose and a real plum pud ding, wliich were served smoking hot for Mrs. Cratchit and the seven little Cratchits, pf pourse Inpliiding Tiny Tim. The children always had enormous por tions given them, and all ate heartily every night: but what really troubled me was the conduct of the little girl who played Tjny Tim. The child's appetite appalled mo. I could not help noticing the extraordinary rapidity with which she consumed what I gave her, and 6he looked so wan and thin, and so pitiful, that her face used positively to haunt mo. We watched as well as we could, and the moment Tiny Tim was seated and legan to eat we observed a curious sIiui'.lLng movement at the stage fireplace, and cveiything that I had given ner gooso and potatoes and apple sauce dis appeared behind the sham stove, the child pretending to eat as hearty as ever froiii the empty plate. When "he per formance was over Mrs. Mellon and my self asked the little girl what became of the food she did not eat, and, after a littlo hesitation, frightened Jest should ge t jnto trouble, which we assured her could not happen, she confessed that her little 6ister (I should mention that they were the children of one of the scene shifters) waited on the other 6ide of I ho stage fireplace for the supplies, and that the wnoie family enjoyed a hearty supper every night out pf the plentiful portions to which I, as Bob, had assisted Tiny Tim.

FolkJwtug a Musical Lover Over tb Ocean Across tUm Continent as a Tramp, lit atlng that American Railroad Ar retted as a "Tag." Judge Lawler glanced curiously atone of the defendants in the xlice court dock, and the latter shrank from Ids gaze. At first sight the prisoner ap peared to be a pale lad who had suf fered from hunger and neglect. After a closer scrutiny his honor inquired what charge was against the defeudan . "He is charged with vagrancy," re plied Prosecuting Attorney Mott, who called Officer Adams to the stand. The officer testified that the lad, who gave his name as Edward White, had been noticed roaming around the water front of late without visible means of subsistence. When questioned he could give no satisfactory reason for idling, and, finding him asleep in a lumber yard on Thursday night. Officer Adams had placed him under arrest. "What have you to say in answer to this testimony?" asked the judge. The lad nervously walked to the stand and asked if he could speak to the court privately. His honor said he need not le afraid to make any statement which might clear him or the cliarge made against him. White leaned forward, and The Exam iner reporter caught the words, "I am a woman." During recess tho girl consented to narrate why she was disguised in tho hope that her object in life would be attained by this means. TELLING HER ROMANTIC BTORT. "I am a native of Cornwall, England," she began, "and I was born in a little town called lied ruth. I am 22 years old, and my real name is Mabel Tregenza. My father was at one time very poor; then ho became suddenly rich by some of the tin mines In which he was inter ested cutting some rich lodes. Further speculation, however, reduced him to his former condition, and he died in poverty. "When I was about 19 years old a party of Hungarian musicians came to my native town. The leader, whose name was Franz nelbing, was a hand some, dashing fellow, and soon half the girls in the ppwq were infatuated with him. I was no stronger or wiser than tho rest. First I aduured him and then loved him. "It was at tlds time that my father's luck was in the ascendant. I was then considered a pretty girl, for I had a lux uriant growth of hair, and my checks were as rosy as those of other girls born in tliat healthy part of the country. It isn't a difficult matter to get an pitror duction n ho country if one s bent upon it, so it was pot long before Franz and 1 were well enough acquainted to, go walking together in the country Janes m the evenings, he adding another con quest to Ids list, and I hoping that his words were true. "It was then cummer time, when fetes caused the musicians to be in great demand, and for three months I was su premely happy. I knew, however, that it was hopeless to expect that ray father would consent to my marrying a stroll ing player, as he was too puffed up with pride at that tune in consequence of be coming wealthy so rapidly, "Finally the musician left Redruth, and like many another foolish girl I was left lamenting. We corresponded sur reptitiously, however, while he was In England, and at last he wrote me that he was going to America, and if he sup? cecded there he would send for me. I next heard from him in New York, but he did not like that city, and wrote me that he was going west, to see if he could make a fortune in the Montana silver mines. Then his letters ceased. "My father's reverses came and his death followed. I was left tq make my way in life as best J might. ' Something of the rpving spirit pf 'my absent lover seemed to possess me, and with the little monev I had left I crossed, the ocean. In New York I found it inconvenient to be a friendless woman, and, coming to the conclusion, that could take care of my self better by wearing men's clothes, I donned them, cut my hair and started out in search of Franz. "My money did not suffice to purchase a through ticket to Montana, and 1 had no especial accomplishments by which, could earn money, so J determined' to trust to fate. TRAVELING WITHOUT MOXEY. "Half way across the continent my funds gave out, and I had to beat my way. Finding (hat my UJsguise was effectual, J felt no alarm, and in fact, the excitement' and "change- proved a; stimulus to me. I boarded the cars and tried my skill at beating the American railway system- It was difficult, but far frocft impossible.
