AN EPISODE AT DRY-UP ,
When the stnto ; ciuch froir Stock-
tun , bound for Mokulonmo Hill ,
turned oil'nt the ainnll mining camp
of Dry-up , Arkansas , llnnk , the
driver , snn out in ; t lusty tone :
whoro's that young nn for
Kinnigan's. Luck alive , nnd out \vith
you , my 1ml , for I'm ning to do this
down grade n c.tllyluwtliiu' ' "
Tliu youth whoso hasty descent from
the atngo top ho had ussiatod r.tthor
niicoromomously in his hurry to bo
oil' dotMi the hill , and out of the camp
on to the main ro.ul to Mokulonmo
, was a lad of sivtoon , or Ihuro-
abouts , though romarknblytoll
grown and developed for Ilia age.
Hoiis too duity to bo judged by
his nppeainnco at first Right ; his
clothes wore plain working oni's , and
his nuuuior was as uonfinod nnd nun-
during as if ho had dropped from the
clouds.
The building buforo which ho had
alighted \tis the most pretentious in
the town. It had a poich over iis
doorway , and within wna a largo cot
ton-lined room tint served the inhab
itants of Dry-up us a grocery , liipior
saloon , iiostotlico , coach and t'\press
station , and an assembly hall in which
was transacted all public business of
whataooMT tiatuio.
Before its door stood its owner , Tip
Finnigiui , a small red faced iiinu with
a cuniiiii ! ; eye and a connpiu ( | > ntnl
smile , and behind him was his wife ,
drawn from her kitchen by Hio clatter
of tlie i coach. and evidently disappoint
cd at its spare deposit
"Tip , dear , " she said , as she duoil
her arms on her apron , "why but yea
a\ yon lad who he's after wantint ; '
Ho looks as if ho w.is dead b.xto will
the jolting ho'a hud , and sorr.i a won-
dci. Arkansas llitnk never niisaes a
stone in the load. Sure , I thought
I'd bo churned to death the day ho
drnv mo up hero. "
She had approached the door as
she Bpoko , and her kind , mothoily
voice w.is meant to roach the atrnii -
ei's ear. It wont further , it touched
hia young heart , and ho drew no.tr ;
and his air , though full of timidity ,
hud nothing of cowardice as ho Raid :
"I came all the way from New
York. T slopped hpro hoping to find
work. Do jou think there is any
thing T can et to do/ / "
Ho turned to Tip , and the tone of
thuituiuiiy w.is so toiy earnest as to
bo almost ti emulous.
Mr. Fmnig.in undo a somewhat
lofty and comprehensive uesture
toward the yellow rherand its broken
and acrratud banks.
"Thoro it is , bcfnrit yo , " said ho ;
' 'up wid jor jnck and down wid yor
long torn. Tliim that digs goold wins
it in Californy , and there's plinty to
work for , but not the si/.o ov a mulgc
to bo had for axing. "
"Suio the young man was only nx
ing the way ho must begin , Tip , dear , '
uined Mrs. Finnigan. "If ho could
jist waali the dust out ov his eyes a
bit and sate himself till ho finds < xipe
xfter the joltin' ho wint thro' in
Hank's stage , it would bo a bless" , so
it would "
' Then show him the well , and lend
lint the jack towel , " obsurvi"1 hr
insband with dignity.
Kindly M"rs Finnigan , who owed a
uood deal of her intluonco over her
husband to the nhow she made of de
ferring to him , hastened to obey his
command , and , as she gcnetally did ,
to improve on it. Whim the new
comer appeared a ain in his presence
so great was the nnpioveinont wrought
by washing , brushing and hair trim
ming that impassive as ho titcd to bo ,
Mr. Finnigan was moved to compli
ment the change.
"Now , yo look like n Chiistian ,
young man , " said ho smiling , "and u
purty nato ono too , if good looks was
any "count nut hero , which thoy'to
not Snro Hank's the boy to raise
dust ; his passengers illicit all bo na-
gurs when they leach Dry-up ; if a
minor cxpicts a fiiend in the coach
ho takes a liiush wid him so us to
swapo the dnat off before ho rocog-
n\7cn \ him , "
Then pausing Binldenly in his dis-
ciiuise , Mr. Finnigan ran a critic.il
eye ovui the youni ; liguro before him.
' 'Yon are mil uted to the wotknii ;
clothes you weir , my young lad , "
said he. "What did you come out
bore for , and have jc any friends in
this camp T'
The sharpness and severity with
which ho nil ted thtse questions in
vented the grocer of Dry-up with an
air of authority which the stranger
did not attempt to question. Hu
glanced at Ins hanilH roproauh fully , an
if accusing their mnoothnoHB or be
traying him , but hind in a fiank and
mitnly way :
" 1 will toll you just lliu truth , Mr.
Finnigan. " Ho had toad the name
on n strip of canvas pvor tint door. Its
owner nodded encouragement , and
the boy continued :
" 1 hvo in Now York I mean I did
live there before I wont on the utoam-
or Northern Light , four weeks ugn to-
duy. tJust three days before 1 started
I found out ulmt an expense T was to
the family. My dear , good mother is
u widow ; I am her only boy ; but I

IH a prosperous merchant and ho hits
charge of my mother's small fund .
Lituiy ho hit * treVed nus quite coldly ,
tmyigh lui danitoi , my omsin Nul-
lie , is ahruyH kind and good to mo.
T hut Saturday I moiin the ono before
the day J aailtd 1 ventured to ask
him what I hiul done to foifoit his
good opinion. I Hhall never foiet
thu shock and surprise of his answer ,
Ho just apokii right out and
told mo I had been Hunt , ' for
three years on the daily meii-
ficos of my mother and SH-
tora ; that I was an exacting , selfish
follow , and and " Hem thonurru-
tor suddenly rhoked up in u waj that
Ht'iiined H out of character with the
Spirttin cunrago he intended to display
that h.H pride and Hunsituom.HS had
quito a conflict of it. Those > w lo
monta of his ti-iniiurainont fought i >
out in a series of Hlrangled B ha and
coughe , while thuir vic'jm walkuit up
and down the utoie , striving to gi in
the mastery over both. Ho HOOII BUG-
ceodod , and , without entering again
on the subject thnt Imd overcome him ,
jumped at oncti to n practical point.
"As soon at 1 saw my duty 1 started
in. Mr. Fnniognii , " nid ho , nml al
though ho addressed the grocer , li
kept Inn line , frank eyes on the gro
cer's wife , having dlscoveted from n
largo cup of froth milk that aho had
given him tint she wna n valuable
member of the linn ! "but no follow
knows until ho has tried it how hard
it is for a boy like mo to got employ
inont 1 vviit too bijto begin anything -
thing , they mind , and I wasn't old
enough to bo trusted with anything
that vtns boijun 1 was almost ready
to give in , when 1 met a lad with the
chills who had hud a berth as cabin
buy on the Octun ( Jiiocm , but was too
sick to go. Didn't I jump into his
place , though ? Hut tlicro was
I'aninm and thostonmor on the Pa
cific side to manage , and I hml to
chance them. 1 was in luck. A San
Francisco gentleman was sick. I
waited on him , and ho paid my way
on the North Star. I hail just money
enough to Icing mo hero on the stage
not a penny moro , and so I hud to got
oil. "
Mr. FtnniuMti laid down tlio pipe ho
had boon Mui > king , and , uoiug to the
door , motioned his young companion
to follow him.
Pointing up the low gulch that
formed the main mad or opening to
the town ho indicated with his stubby
forefinger a shoit polo stuck in the
tnrth oiHho river bank , on top ot
which was an old tin pan.
"Dutch .lake nnd Squatty Hoggs
tuck their htvo ov that claim yonder
tlint very moiiiing"saiitlio. "They've
gone prospoctin' , and any onu that
strikes his pick in can claim that dig-
gin' . You've como a good stretch to
find n job and the sooner you begin
the latter. I'll lend yo the tools till
yo can buj wans ov yor own. "
Thereupon the enterprising Mr.
Finnigan , who had taken trom Dutch
.lake an old cradle , spade and pick ,
because he could not get a throe-
dollar liquor lull owed by that foreign
bankrupt , miite n entally an uxcullont
bargnn for himself in transferring
those articles to the boy miner.
"And now what's jer name , when
wo want to eall jo t supper ? " hu
asked after ho had helped the youth
to transfer the tools to the scene ol
operations , ami given him a first les
son in diugiug and cradling.
The boy hesitated a moment , and a
bright color rose on his smooth , j'outig
cheek.
"Och ! don't bother yor bond on that
score , " ciied the Irishman , observing
hia embarrassment , "Jack or Jill , it
is all vvtm to us up hero. "
"My name is Jack , " said the boy
"but T "
oatiorly ; thought
Thatin plinty ; Jack it is thi".llll(1
now good luck to yo , aii'l rminmbor
that thnn that finds gold him to look
hard for it. Yo'll know it when yo
count on it , after thu instructions 1
gev ye. "
Mrs. Finnigan was waiting for her
husband.
"O , Tip , dear , " she siid softly ,
"that bojr hasn't broke his fast tin *
day , and it seems hirdlike to fnvo
him in at the work before lie's fanlj'
on his feet in the pl.tco- '
"Tut , " roloiti"J "or husbind coolly :
"it's a BomI chance to show what he's
mitdoof. Lot him wrestle a while
with Jake's pick before ho cuines to
Ins lav. or 1 suppose nothin' will do
> .t f > ut ho must board wid us till ho is
able to sot up a cabin for himself. "
"Och , thin , but yo have the kind
heart , Miles Fimiigaii , " cried his wife
in tones of fervent admiration at her
husband's yielding generosity ; "and
sure yo'll niver lose a chit by it , " she
hastened to add , knowing well his
fnndness of gain. "Our own little
Murtagh , had ho lived , would have
been just the morrow of this lad , and
troth I falo a mother's hear * to him ,
soldo. "
The latter part of her speech was
low. The tears that sprang with it
were hidden ; and Tip ao cillod from
hubirthplauji'ipporaryresumed bin
pipe and rocoiyod the conjugal praise
with a discriminating nod.
It was early in November. There
had been ono very heavy rain , but it
had rathur beaten down than loosened
the soil of the abandoned claim , and
in Jack's untutored grasp the pick
swerved as it struck the clayey bed ,
without dislodging much neil during
the fiict hour's hard labor
Then the boy stopped to real , for
ho could work no moio ; the potspira-
tion streamed down his f.ico , every
noi vo in hia body thrilled from his
unwonted exorcise , and- though ho
tried to hide this last fact in on fiom
himself from his lack of food. Away

Jack full abashed at his iinlonkod
for achinyoinont , and know it could
not have boon his blown that did thu
work. A great body ol mould had
boon ready to fall ; his pick had lee *
