THE STAGE DRIVER'S ' WIFE
By Annabel Wrlphl.
Four bay horses dnshoil in fine st vl

Mhlclt sw.ijed nnd re-clod nnd rocku

llollister throw his reins to tin
stnblo boy , nnd wont into the house
Hu was n blnlf , big-listed follow
ratlior rough looking ui hii wolf skii
overcoat and bnmd-visorcd c , p , No
body over doubted the kintlncsa o
licart under thnt unpolished exterior
liuw over.
Now , ns ho tnnnped through tin
biy hull , on Itia way to the bar room
ho paused at the sight of n foinalu fig
uru in ono dim comer , with her fxco ;
dropped into both hands , nnd her
hole altitude ono of sorrow mill de
spair. Tlio liguro \\i\9 slender niii'
jounu , chid in u well-worn gray suit ,
nnd the liands on which the brown
head was bowed were white and deli-
c.itc.
c.itc."I beg your pnrdon , nia'ain. Are
you in trouble } Caul bo of acrvieo
to yon ? "
Then the girl looked up , and IIol-
listor reeognii'.ed the da'ighter ' of n
man \\holmd been at tliu inn for aonu
weeks n man whom the driver hail
no hesitation in cla&sing aa an adven
turer and a blackleg.
Ilo had pitied tlio girl on that night
when ho had first seen her when ho
liad brought them out from the city ;
for she Hoetncd a lady , with her quiet
ways and her wistful eyes , and not at
til fitted for n lifo oi "Bohemmmsin ,
iuch us it was evident her father was
ending her.
She looked up , I say , nnd meeting
: hu expression of honest kindliness in
Prank Hollistor's clear gray eyes , she
struggled a moment for self-control ,
and then burst iiuo tcnra.
Frank squared hia broad shoulders
> eforo her in order to screen her from
; ho curious gnzo of any who might
) asH tlnougli the hall , nnd waited in
silenco.
Presently the girl raised her head
onoo more , looked at him with tear-
itaincd eyes and said with quivering
ips :
"I am in trouble , sir. Yours are
: ho first fiiendly works I have heard
: o-day. My father , " hero a crimson
lush dyed her fair brow "my father
ios left me ; where ho has gene I do
lot know. I am absolutely alone
imoni ; sti.ingcrs'and our bill hero ia
unpaid ,
.Kor ono instant Frank looked at
lor doubtfully , and then with a snd-
l"n rush of self-shamo and chivaly ,
lis hand went into his breast-pookot
ind drew therefrom a big lenthoi
iockct-book.
Tlio girl made a little indignant
jeatuvo , and looked at him with wide-
ipcncd , haughty eyes.
"Sir ! I scarcely expected ait in
sult ! "
Whereupon Prank liegan a hurried
uid indignant repudiation of her iu-
sinualion. lie insult n woman ! lie.
who had the dearest mother and the
sweetest little sister in the world ,
away off there in the eastern states ,
irayimr for him !
"P'laps I ain't so dainty in my
choice ot words as I might be , lady.
L'ni a rough fellow at best ; but I'm
dreadful soft-hearted where a woman
.s concerned. ] f you choose to look
mo as a friend and a straight man ono
tli.it never gees back ou his word , you
shan't bo disappointed. Now , then ,
liow c.m I servo yon ? "
The big pocket-book had disap
peared , and the girl's face softened at
liis rough gallantry. She extended
ono littio hind frankly.
"Forgive mo , sir ; I know that you
are all that you seem. I cannot ac
cept any pecuniary aid from you or
any one. The landlord has ofl'ured mo
i situation as table girl. I shall accept
it , , .nd in that way can pay our in
debtedness. Thanks for your kuid-
nces. I ahull not forget it. "
With a little flitting smile she slipped
pod past him and went swiftly up the
dark stairway , while the driver pro
ceeded to the bar-room , 'where the
men wcio talking , laughing , smoking
and drinking.
Hero llollister listened to a detailed
account of the disappearance of Col.
Preisy , interspersed with various
comments concerning him and his
daughter Cora.
Piossy WM stigmati'/ed as a cheat ,
villain and a sponge anything and
everything , they called him , but an
honest man. There wcro some ex
pressions of sympathy for the girl ,
but it was easy to neo that she waa
not liked. Miss Prcssy had held her
self too far aloof from every ono in
the ' house to win the approval of this
fieo-and-easy western community.
Ono loutiih looking follow , leaning
ngainst the bar-rail , rumark how , with
sneering grin :
"That gal's a mighty 8tuckup little
sritter reckon she won't put on any
more airs with me ! " and ho sent a
jtrenm of tob.icco . juice in n very skillful -
ful manner straight into the mouth of
spittoon which occupied the center
the room.
Hollistur , who had been a silent
listener until now , crossed leisurely to
bhh extraordinary marksman , and ,
itriking hint a light blow upon the
moulder , Haid evenly and distinctly :
"Look hero , Jerry , you don't want
> talk any more like that about Miss
Pressy. "
Thi.ro wan a dead silence for the
mace of h.ilf a nntiuto , and then Jerry ,
laughing uneasily and Hushing under
the driver's keen eyes , said with an
ittcmpt at facctioiiBiiL'SH :
' Goin' to many her , Frank ? "
"i oxppctto , " replied Frank coolly ,
ho turned to select a cigar from the
ase.
ase.Thero
There wcro no more insinuations
tuainst Cora Pressy in his hearing ,
riio daughter of an unknown adven
turer , no matter how'thorough n lady
me might seem , and the sweetheart
the jolly , keen-eyed , strong-armed
itago-drivor , were two different per-
ions , nnd when tholonly girl entered
upon her new duties the next day , she
ivns surprised at the kindness and con-
idcratiou of all about hor.
Frank did not try to weaken the
impression which his words had mado.
Ilo know that it would bo her surest
protection ; and ho felt an intense do-
lire to protect und to help her she
rt'us so delicate and sorrowful , no abso-
lut ly alone , now thnt her unnatural
parent had deserted her.
Two or three uneventful days wont
, Cora filling her now situation
ivith satisfactory promptness. Every
night , on the arrival of ilollUttor
singe , she was left to wait \tpun him in
the dining room.
She felt an instinctive confidence in
this big , bluff , sun-burned follow.
Tlioro was n bond of sympathy grow
ing between them which she had no
de ire to broak.
Ono day , twenty miles down his
route , Frank ho.ml a bit of news
which worked him into a fever ot im
patience. Never bad the whip curled
so sharply over the Hanks of his sturdy
horses ; never had ho made bettor lime
than on that day , \\lion it scorned to
him but a snail's space.
At last , however , the stage drew up
before the inn whoso roof sheltered
the girl who , in a tew short days ,
had grown inexpressibly dear < o the
driver.
Ilo held a hurried consultation
with tlio hostler which resulted in the
luttot' agreeing t" drive tlio stngo on
to ita destination for si certain sun. of
monov
Then I'Vank wont into tlio long din
ing room , and Boating himself at out
ol tlio small tables in a secluded corner
nor , ho waited for Cora I'ressy.
Ilo lluihnil tn the roots of his
crispy curl 1115 town n ir as heat
at hor. She noticed it , and \\n
silently , thinking , meanwhile , that ho
was not half a bud looking follow ,
with his broad brow , honest eyes ami
Inn lips.
"Miis Corn , " ho said , rather n\vK
kvnrdly , " 1 would like to have you
ride with mo this evening , if you will.
[ have something of importance to
tell you,1' he added hurriedly , growing
redder than ever with emlurrnssment
Cora looked at him wistfully. Was
t soinithing about her father ? .But
who dared not put the thought into
words there were too many about.
So she merely bowed her head in ac
ceptance of his invitation , and went
aw ay.
Half an hour later she wan tucked
intw a trim little cutter beside him ,
dashing along over the white moon
lit road , and waiting anxiously tor
him to reveal the matter of importance
at which ho had hinted.
Hut Frank was curiously sUont foi a
long whilo. It seem to. Cora that he
would never speak. At last , with a
sudden cllbrt , ho said :
"Miss Cora , you've known mo only
a. few days , but you've soon enough of
mo to know that I am a blunt spoken
follow , so T hope you won't bo upset
by what I'm going to say. I'm not
much of a line gentleman , but I
haven't any very bad habits and make
n fair living , and and well , I want
n wife , little gal , and I love you. If
you'll have mo , I'll do my prettiest to
make you the happiest woman in the
country. "
Cora smiled up at him through tear'
filled eyes , and this gave him courage
to slip ono arm over the back of the
cutter and draw her closer to his side.
She m ill-mured something about being -

"Do jou love any other man ? "
"No , " she answered , honestly
enough ; "J believe you are the bebl
man I over know. "
Whereupon Frank kissed her again ,
upon the lips this time , nnd made : i
second proposition , to which at Ural
uho would not listen. But the u'il"
and the energy of her carnest-heartiK
wooer curried the day , and the icsull
was a call upon a justice of the peace
and when they ro-entored the irii | the
night the girl was Cora Pressy no

Franks face was radiant and tnumpl :

In the dingy waiting-room an excited -
cited crowd was gathered.
Frank endeavored to liurry his wife
past the doorway , but her quick
glance had caught a glimpse of a fa
mihar figure. ,
"Father ! " she cried , and stopped
into the room.
1'es , there ho was , haggard and dis
hovelled , with blood-shot oycs and un-
sliavoti face. Ho might have boon
line-looking once. There was juat
the ghost of a debonair about him
still despite his wretchedness. An
oflicer guarded him on cither side.
"What has ho done ? " cried Cora ,
with pallid lips.
Some one in the crowd answered
bru ally enough :
"Killed a brother gambler twenty
miles luck. Thoy'ro taking him
through the city. "
Then the poor little bride wont into
a ( lend faint in her hush.iiid's arms ,
and ho carried bur up-Ht.iirs with hia
brown chock against her white ono.
All night he watched beside her
while she wont from one deathly
swoon into another. At last in the
gray morning she amilod sadly into
her husband's eyes , and whispered :
"Do not bo troubled. 1 will go
away. "
'Not if I can help it , " answered
Frank , with a grim set of his under-
lip.Then
Then all at. once ho put his face
down on the pillow beside her and
began to cry like a two-year-old baby.
With her slender hands she stroked
the man's big curly head , and talked
to him in a sweet , weary way that
wont straight toiiis warm heart.
"Dear friend , " HIO ! said , "I know
how unselfish you are , but I will not
allow you to make such a sacrifice.
You shall not share my shame , "
"Look hero , little woman , I know-
all about thi.s affair yesterday morn

San I'rMKiico Chronicle ,
Even so early an 7 o'clock Inst night
all the permanent and temporary seats
of the main lloor and the vast gallery
of Howard street Methodist church ,
nnd , with the exception of the ninlus ,
which were kept passable , all the
standing room , tvon the stairs in the
U'slibulf , were densely tilled with fur-
vent devotees , nith curious auditors ,
Mid with persons balancing evenly
between sudden convorsoa and con
tinued indifference. Among Iho mass
of faces could bo occasionally recog
nized one of an intcresti'd profession-
d ; and chief among these , olovatcd on
Itis long and attenuated poison , was
the thin , sharp visage of llallenbeck ,
liimsolf a mighty reaper in the ( told ,
and who has just returned from the
'ainering of a plentiful harvest in the
fields of Honolulu , us fertile of crop
imminently needing llueshing a < i is
even San Francisco itself. Mr. Hal-
lonbvck watched the proceedings ol
the evening with the skilled oyen ol
an export , perhaps a trillo critical ol
the methods of a lival worker in the
grainlands of grace. The vast con
gregation was kept pleasantly occupied
singing nil impartial way through the
affecting melodies of the Harrison
hymnal till about TiHO o'clock. The
nervously rapid boy preacher dashed
out of the vestry room in the roarul
the pulpit and upon the chancel plat
form. The more lymphatic Uov. Dr.
.lewell follow oil. Both immediately
knelt on the lloor , and extending the
upper portions of themselves prone
upon llio surfaces of chnirs , indulged
in n few minutes of silent prayer.

The boy preacher , who is now a
maturing juvenile of - ( ! , with an ah
normally largo head , abnormally clip
ped of its brown hair , with wild dark
eyes , with face clean shaved , but not
to say very recently , with naturally
slender tiguro unnaturally attenuated ,
nnd with most capacious foot , seemed
then to bo bounced into the air by
some spring in the lloor , and lighting
on his tccL dashed at the commenda
ble business of the evening. Demos
thenes , a pagan , and a lay pagan at
that , when ho sontcutiously returned
the unvaried answer of "action" ton
series of'cxhnustivo questions put to
him as to what constituted the essence
of eloquence , imparted a IOBBOII which
appears to have been learned to its
nt tot moat limit , and for the spread of
the Gospel by the boy preacher. Head ,
shoulders , hands , body , legs and feet
are all put through all varieties ot
swift and remarkable motion , some
times singly , sometimes altogether ,
and often in the endless combination
which the many single factors enable
If the auditor could for a moment for

pel-son can bo compelled. And as ho

platform , as ho bears swiftly down ti

work.
A HKUMON ON 8AI.VATIO5 ,
Several hymns werosung , with utter
ances injected between the verses bj
the watchful preacher. The sermon
was on the momentous question , "Aro
You Saved ? " He divided the congre
gation by imaginary lines into differ
cut section , ono ot which , he said ,
thought it was saved , another hoped it
was savedanother , trusted it was saved
ind another behoved it was suvod.
Thu fact of the business , however , was
that none of them wore savc > d. At the
conclusion of the sermon eleven young
people camoand kelt at the altar niil-

sired to bo converted. After prayer
with them and over them the meeting
was dismissed.
