the sans sriurru mine.
"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

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

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

The superstitious and believers in the

theories in the experience of a Nashville
young man. He retired one night, in a

falling asleep, was soon on the race
course. In the dream he backed a par
ticular horse which the "talent" consid
ered wholly out of the contest, and in
dreams saw that horsp dash under the
wire an easy winner. The excitement
was. such, as to awaken him, and, after
smiling at his folly, he once more fell
asleep, only to fall under tho sjiell of the
same dream and awaken as liefore.
Coming uptown the next morning he
dropped into a pool room and saw the
horse of lus drcaw blackboarded at a

and then he wc-nt on. tn his day's labor.
That evening he dropped into the room
again, and thero upun the hoard saw a
