Alfred sat at Mrs. Harmon's left, Esther at the left of the host. She thus had opportunity to study him leisurely. His face had been the first she saw on entering the parlor, her eyes drawn, perhaps, by his intense gaze. His ruick movement toward j her, his sudden halt, the step behind i the pillar, she had noticed every mo-; tion; had believed then that her own j unresponsive lock had caused that withdrawal. Between perfunctory replies to Mr. Montague Esther recalled the weeks of suspense after flight, when she had waited in vain for some news of Al fred's safety; the meager newspaper notice of his long Illness in the hos pital; the search he had made for her by way of letters that she had asked Sally B. to return unopened. How she had longed to read them! After that the printed personals, the detect ive she had so hardly escaped—would the dear Father forgive her many equivocations? Oh, Alfred had been tirelss. His love, then, was true. There followed in her mind fleeting, half formed pictures of those after days of ceaseless toil, long nights of study. Would she have survived if Mrs. Har mon had not found her? “Speaking of stocks, the wildest plunger on the board is Bernard,” the judge said, some one having brought up the topic. The name arrested Esther's atten I tion. "I don t know how much he has be hind him," the judge continued. “I'm told they live as if it was a good chunk. It'll have to be, if it stands \ the calls he makes on it.” “Isn't he lucky?” Esther asked with quick interest. “Sometimes.” The judge's tone left her solicitous. “He's a rough old galoot,” Mr. Mon tague said; “but genuine for all that.” “His daughter's a thoroughbred, if he isn't,” Phineas Cadwallader as serted. 1 I “She’s not their own daughter,” the judge's dinner partner exclaimed posi tively. “She can't be. She hasn't a trait like either of them.” “Oh, but she is, though, and a mighty pretty girl, whoever she's like,” the judge said, shooting a sly glance at his wife. "That's why my wife won t ask her here.” “Nonsense, judge! You know I have a reason. That's none at all. As if the young men would let you claim at-; tentlon from that lovely Miss Money- j bags!” "Oh, but she's lovely aside from her ! money,” Amabel said sweetly. "I know she is; yet what of her j mother?” i “Why, she's the most amusing Mrs. j ; Malaprop outside of a Sheridan com-1 ■ edy. Good as gold, too,” Amabel re-1 | plied. “True. ’ Mrs. Harmon rejoined. ( “She's too good for guests of mine to | fleer at. And 1 won't insult the moth j er by inviting Miss Vio'.a alone.” “You see? Isn't she cunning?" the j judge queried with assumed solemnity.! ■ “She always has a virtuous reason for ! | curtailing my pleasures.” "The Sacramento Clarion made an j ! extra severe case against the Central' i Pacific in yesterday's editorial," Mr. j j Montague said in a lull in the talk. "That's nothing new. I didn't see it, ! though. What was it?” The judge's i tone was brusque. "The paper arraigned the company j for refusing to receive and carry ; merchants’ freight; declared that. , President Johnson would not, and ' should not. issue bonds to the com i pany till their methods and business j were thoroughly investigated; de ; dared also that the ccmrany was com posed cf men determined to get rich at the expense of others.” ; "Great Scott!" the judge burst forth. “I wish the ccmrany would buy out that calamity-howling Clarion! Put ’em out cf business! Our people are fighting against a hundred odds—lack j oi time, lack of iron, lack of every- i thing! And the Union Pacific coming west like—well, two-forty!” He scowled and smiled at the same time down the table at his wife. ‘ Thej state, this city, the Clarion, ail who ] should be their proud friends fighting ; 'em. Injun fashion, in the back! The last outrage is the Goat Island propo sition. It's the very spot for a term inus, but these blooming chumps are going to beat the company out of it. Worse yet. this city refuses them land for their depots. "The company has more than it can do to move its own material. It's a wonder they won’t step work to haul gold watches and silk stockings to Nevada, now, ain't it? Getting rich at the expense of others, are they? It strikes me the Big Four have come nearer creating their own wealth than anybody; just built it cut of Gods own capital, pluck and unpreempted terra firma!” "Do you know why the Clarion hate? the Central Pacific generally, and Gov.; Stanford specifically?” Phineas ques- ■ tinned of the judge. Judge Harmon shook his head non committally; but Mr. Montague ha;:-, aded a guess. "Because the company’s figure isn’t high enough?” "You're away off there. Montague,” 1 the judge interposed. ‘ All the money ' in the Nevada bank couldn't buy Nor ris or Bevins. They have no price.” "I think they did have," Phineas said quietly. "Hey?" The judge looked up sharp helped you pick from the government tree?’ I fancied I could see the blue sparks snapping from Bevins' eyes.’ “ ‘Gentlemen, my associates’—I knew something was going to break loose then—‘my associates. Hr. Hunt ington, Hr. Hopkins and Hr. Crocker, with myself, have made a compact never to gamble, in stocks or in any ether way: never to become connected with men or enterprises that can pos sibly jeopardize our great undertaking. You would gamble the hair off your heads! You sha! never gamble with the Central Pacific Rai.rcad stock so long as we four, or any one of us, held a controlling interest. That’s all.’ In the instant, of silence that followed 1 heard him turn toward the door. The others were breathing as hard as a stage team. "Then the two partners tried to; bribe the governor with a string of temptations that would have made the De'il's layout on the high mountain look like a dime with a hole in it. " 'Perhaps you don’t know that Nor ris and I are planning to make you United States senator,’ Bevins said in sinuatingly as a last hot shot. “ ’I’ll be senator without any of your help!’ the governor sent back at them savagely. ‘Gentlemen, your re quest is useless. You shall never have a chance to wreck the Central Pacific railroad.’ "I'd have given a chassez down the golden streets to Lave seen the two faces that looked into the governor's j just then. It was Norris who spoke j first. 'We’ll send your road to—hades!' j Btit that isn't the name he gave the j place. " 'Yes.' Bevins said, with more pro-! fanity; 'we ll fight you tili you haven't j a rail or a rag to your back! ’ “ 'II! see you both dead in the poor house first!’ the* governor shot back at them and was gone.’’ "By George!” the judge exclaimed. "Norris and Bevins are doing pretty i well for their threat; but the gov ernor's will come true first, or I'm no prophet.” "Please don't talk shop any more, j judge. The railroad will win, of j course, even against such a power as j the Clarion; for Gov. Stanford and his | company stand for destiny as well as ! I “We'll Send Your Read to Hades!” ly. “By Jove!' Cad's got a story. Out with it, man. Earn your dinner!” “Some years ago,” Phinea3 began after a slight hesitation. “I worked in the Clarion office long enough to learn something of the two men who do as much to shape Issues in this state, per haps. as any other two living. Do you think I'm right, judge?” “You're not so far wrong as I wish you were. Cad.” “I never say any one who could flip the ivory and the pasteboard to beat Norris, or Bevins, either; or any two who could look more like preachers when they were at it. But once in their editorial rooms they changed coats, and the paper stands, as it has always stood, for the best side of life.” “Till they turned against the rail road,” Hr. Montague interrupted. Phineas nodded and went on. “You know, the Clarion was solid for the company from the first day's work clear up to the time when success ap peared ceratin: then the paper sud denly became the company's worst enemy. One day. not long after the first mountain 30 miles had been ac cepted, I was in the Clarion office cor recting proof for some company print ing when I heard the two editors and the governor enter the outer office. They were in earnest conversation, but it never occurred to me to let them know of my presence—I was only a cog in the machine to them—till I had heard so much I had to keep still. “ ‘And now we claim compensation,' Norris was saying as they entered. “ 'But, gentlemen, your request is impossible,’ the governor replied. ‘We have no such block of stock to spare to you.’ “ ‘You discrimina'e in the disposal of your stock, do you?' Norris sccered. “ We claim that right,’ the governor said quietly. “ Yet you acknowledge the Clarion's part as a factor in your success?’ “ ‘Yes, we do,' the governor as sented, still self-controlled; though even where I was I could feel lightning in the air. “ ‘Then what are your reasons for denying us a share of the plum we’ve for their own success. Let's go into the parlor and have some music.” Mrs. Harmon rose as she finished. The judge pushed his chair back re luctantly. “She always separates folks just when they've spotted a good time,” he grumbled amiably to the women on either side of him; and with a comprehensive glance at the men, went on. “However. I’ll beat her on one point; I'll go bail for those that worM rather stop in my den for a smoke than serve out sentence in the V- r!or." He rose and slid back the1 old-fashioned. glass-paneled, walnut framed door, giving Esther an affec tionate look as she passed through. Phineas was the only one who ac cepted ball, and the smoke was short. Alfred was singing when the two men entered the parlor, and Esther saw the malignant gleam Phineas sent the un conscious singer. I y a ruse that cost him some time to perfect, Mr. Montague succeeded in sequestering Esther in the bay win dow. There he held her by an intermin able story that would have been good if it had not been diluted for time's sake. As Alfred finished his song he noticed the two seated apart. Esther saw his look, and turned a more interested face to Mr. Montagu-, heart anil brain throbbing wildly with the old love she had thought dead or safely asleep. Would she meet him often? How, oh, how should she be able to show him ever a placid face? Presently she rose and went for ward to her hostess. “I'm sorry to go so early, Mrs. Har mon; but Mrs. Snow insisted, even if 1 didn't arrive till after the play began. 1 fear it will be half over; yet there's supper—they'll have enough of me, I think.’’ She passed around the room with a gracious farewell for each guest, as a daughter might have done. And Al fred, watching, acknowledged with a pang that Esther outshone his most ambitious dreams for his Stella of the long ago. Pausing before Amabel and Alfred, she made some bright. Impersonal re mark that included them both, bowed, and, with a smiling good-bye, moved on toward the hall door, where the judge awaited her. Both Phineas and Mr. Montague pressed forward, but the judge warned them back. "No, you don't! Not one o' you young sprigs shall cheat, me out of my good-night kiss. But you needn't grudge me; you wouldn't get it.” The door closed on them and a mo ment later Esther was speeding to her next engagement. vrmr i tn AAV. Sally B. Cultivates Aristocracy. Esther stood at the door of the Ber nard mansion in Oakland. Sally B. was crossing the hall when the colored butler opened the doer. 'Oh, honey! Stel—Esther, I mean!" She flew down the hall and caught the girl in a vigorous embrace. “I’ve been dying to see you ever sence—sence I read in the paper you'd got back from your tower. Come right up to my boodwar." ' I only learned last week, at Judge Harmon's, where you were,” Esther said as soon as released. “You've been away most of the time lately, and this is my first opportunity to come since yon returned from the springs. Why Calistoga in the winter, of all places’" Sally B. was fussing about happily, helping her out of her wraps. “Vi’s ben peaked lately, an I took her up fur—for the sulphur water. That's good in the spring, you know." “Yes; but February?" “Oh. well, any time near Valentine's day's spring around the Bay. Stella’ You've growed tall, and that elegant!" "Grown, madame." interrupted a quiet voice. Esther glanced curiously at a de mure figure sewing in a corner of the eiaborate room. “I've been—been turribly im—" “Terribly, madame.” Esther saw a shade of annoyance pass over Sally B.'s face; but she went on again. "I've been terribly impatient to show you my new house and our gold-plated traps." “I'm sure I'm just as impatient to see them all. How long have vcm been here?" “We bought a little better'n eight months ago—got a bargain. It only cost us—" "Private expenses tabooec subject," the even voice broke in; though the girl never lifted her eyes from her work nor showed the slightest interest in the conversation. Saily B. turned swiftly, shot an angry glance at the young woman and opened her lips with a spring that Esther well remembered. Yet her anger faded quickly. “Thank you, Marie," she said, and continued. ' Set —sit down, Esther. I bet you'll have a—’’ " 'I bef is not quite elegant, mad ame.” Sally B. whirled on her heel in quite the old way. "Marie, you git!” The girl rose and walked quietly out of the room. Before the door closed Sally B. was calm again. "There I go,” she said. "That’s two dollars she gits —gets to-day, an’ it ain’t—isn’t two o’clock.” Esther did not try to conceal her laugh. "Two dollars for what?” "For my bad language. I hired her to keep Vi up in her French, but most ly to correct my bad grammar. I pay her twenty-five a month, and a dollar every time I say slangy things to her. She's gittin'—getting rich!” "I should think she'd retire when vis itors arrive.” Esther ventured. "Her orders is— Say! do you say ‘orders is’ or ‘are?’ ” “ 'Are,' I think." Esther struggled with a too persistent smile. "Her orders are to stick to me like a cockle burr to a mule's tail; let up for nobody except when I receive big bugs in the parlor. An' I'm sorry for her, that I am." "How long has she been with yon?" "Oh, ever since we bought.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Have Many Narrow Escapes Yet Cowboys Are Rargly Killed or Injured in Accidents. Now, after the day's work was prac tically over, we had our first accident, says a w riter in Outing Magazine. The horse ridden by a young fellow from Dos Cabesas slipped, fell and rolled quite over his rider. At once the an imal lunged to his feet, only to be im mediately seized by the nearest rider. But the Dos Cabesas man lay still, his arms and legs spread abroad, his head doubled sideways in a horribly suggestive manner. We hopped off. Two men straightened him out, while two more looked carefully over the in dications on the ground. "All right.” sang out one of these, “the horn didn't catch him.” He pointed to tie indentation left ! bv the pommel. Indeed, five minutes ’ brought the man to his senses. He ' complained of a very twisted back. Homer sent one of the men in after ; the bed-wagon, by means of which the i sufferer was shortly transported to ! camp. By the end of the week4 he was again in the saddle. How men escape from this common accident with injuries so slight has always puz zled me. The horse rolls completely over his rider, and yet it seems to be the rarest thing in the world for the latter to be either killed or permanent ly injured. — Uncle Jerry.
