His history had proceeded him, and when the stricken-man appeared one dawambpg TDB early in the 4prmg, a; place Was1'mSside for nim without words, arid almost nnccMistiiously We added thi' care'of thia Buffering-one to flie othei duties of our lives.

" It 's kinder rough, boys," said Kenwood one night in Jackson's " to see Old J o e at nooning-. He's a^tryin' to think V sumthin'. W l is I can ' i pan out, b i t i t really m y own eyes water to see the poor fel-

' ler 'sface,"al la hopeless sort o' pain!'* and Jim' drained hie glass with a solemn shake of the head. 4' The old man 's had trouble, he has ," he continued, " a n ' i^ hangs onto him yet." I W e agreed with J im; the old man nad seen trouble, bui what it .was no one knew. .

' ' He wears a kind 0' locket round his neck," remarked " Deacon" Jones, the wickedest man. in camp, " a n ' one day I ketehed him a-lookia' at it down the. gulch. I peeped afore he saw me, an' ' twar a ehud's face; a little girl. I didn't see ho more* for hcvindedme, an ' drop-pin' the th ing he turned on me like a panther ! I, run for it, I tell ye 1 If he'd a' 'been armed he'd E killed me!", and the Deacon paused .and wiped his lips with' the" back of-his hand in a dry man­ner- " W h a t give me away I can' t fig­ure," he continued, ponderingly, "on-less it war m y breath on his shoulder. I war takin ' a little rum an ' 'lassesthem days for a cold."

' ' That yer cold hangs to ye," sneered Toper Tim from behind the stove, as the; boys ceased to laugh; it 'll be yer death yet. A pretty friend ye war to ther old crazy cuss, a-pryin inter h is secrets!"

Jones' harfds crept ominously towards his .hips. Toper Tim was the pest of the camp. A drunken 'gen t leman" a par­asite of Gold Gulch, a parasite driven from San Francisco to die, whom the warm-hearted miners had saved, only to be stung b y his cursed habits and more, accursed tongue each day that they sheltered him. The Deacon hated him thoroughly.

Wi th brawny hand on pistol-butt that worthy eyed him in quivering passion for a full moment, then with an oath he replied:

' 'Speak when yer asked, ye druken dog! Ef ye war a white man o r sober I 'd kill ye fur this an' other things as has gone before, an ' some day I may forgit myself an' do it yet! But not now; ye're too mean to die iu your boots. That 's a gentleman's death. B u t I'll tell ye th is ; I 'm ttd— sight better friend to OJLd J q e than the man who scares him a t night or cheats Turn at cards, a n d the next time t h e bid man complains of a face a t the window or loses money at play, sbmebody'll light out o' this camp with a sore hide I Whippin' is what you need!"

There was silence in the bar for a bit, while Toper Tim'if ruddy face grew ash-en-hued; then slowly, as a beaten cuj, h e crawled from h is seat and went out of the room in to t h e starry night. ,

"That ' s a sneak, ef ever one lived," muttered Jones as he departed.

f+Ay, ye* rigMtihar," responded Jacki son from behind hfe rough bar, " a n ' h e ; hates Old. Jo , ,I$ 's my notion tha t he was mixed u p with, him before either of them ever saw this camp."

" But the old mat t didn't seem to rec­ognize Toper when he first sighted him, ' | drawled Paduka Brown, of Kentucky.

" B n t w h o the j l iy i l cares fer that?" cried little J i m m y 0*Neil. Sure the Ould fellow's mimory is gone intirely, a n ' it 's his own smother he wouldn' t know, savin' he ' d been born since tha t bit of rock h i t h im on therhead I"

" Take a,drink, J immy, me boy I" cried Jackson above the shouts of the crowd* a t the Ir ishman's bul l ; " come an ' have a d r ink ; ye r tonauVs dry an ' don' t work r ight!" and.ioe thought of Old J o e was* lost as pie t rquWwent round: ,'

Two weeks later-the camp had a new sensation. J o had found a pardner.

4k, smalh>h jnan. with long dark hair, a full beard and delicate hands and feet; a "nat£y" looking chap for a miner, and one who spoke in a mild voice and declined all invitations t b drink.

" T h e o d d e s t jiard ever, I see," said Kenwood as.we pa$sed„^ ' s cabin one night when the shadows., were creeping u p the creek, andsaw3Eujzleton,thenew ihah, working about the, fire, whi le- the '•'•Old man*' smoked his' $npe without. " Tbjs_yer fender-foot seems to h » ' been

drawal from o u r companionship upon all possible pretexts, became, on account of ,his kindly nature and unvarying goodness to old Joe, a generaF favorite; and hardly a miner in camp but would do him a favor with, pleasure, did occa­sion serve. Toper Tim, however, proved an exception t o the ru le , for as the new man gained t h e friendship of the others, the. most venomous hate, coupled with a nameless fear, seemed to grow upon Tim. ' iDaily h e showed it in muttered curses and sinister looks, and daily it increased, unti l Paduka Brown seriously proposed putting <he " m a n under bonds," lest h e should waylay our new friend; hutHazle ton heard of the idea and vetoed it a t once.

' iGent lemen," he said, quietly, " y o u "" please.me by dropping this matter .

Deadwoedwil l never molest me, :nows that I dp n o t fear him, and I c a n protect .myself if needs be, ' ' heloucneci-his pistol-butt; "beside, DeadwQod is ft.coward."

ut there were those, good friends oi Jazleton's, tocv who said that the m a n ould hardly fire Ms weapon, and tha t

he even called upon Old Joe to clean it for h im once a week, so little did he know of it!

We gave u p the "bond" business, however, simply deputing Jones io " w a t c h out, "for us all> and act if occa­sion arose.

" Yer appinted a gineral agent, Dea­con ' ' said the little O'Neil, one night at Jackson's; " a sort o' special constable to take keer o' Hazleton an' toss it up fer that r u m m y Tim if he needs it, an ' charge the job to us .all."

And t h e J)eacon smiled grimly and said:

" I ' l l do my duty, boys." But although Toper Tim knew of all

this, his black heart would not let h i m rest, but pushed him deeper and deeper into danger. Day by day h e worried Old Joe and h i s pardner more and more. He crowded, them on the strain and complained t ha t " t h e y stole h is dir t ;" he haunted the vicinity of then* cabin after nightfall; he pressed liquor upon Hazleton whenever h e caugnt him at Jackson's; and was of a threatening mood when it was refused, and he hint­ed broadly of officers of the law who were searching various camps for es­caped convicts, and who* would soon be at Gold Gulch, looking at the new man, as he'talked. ^

At times Old Joe would arouse from his usual apathy and t u rn like a wound­ed wolf upou h i s tormentor, a fierce gleam i n his eyes, a light, of half-recol­lection and deadly hate, but at such times Hazleton would take his a rm and lead him away before a word could be spoken, leaving baffled Tim, with hand on knife-hilt, often trembling with* rage and fear, to gaze after them and mutter again and again, " W h o is he? who is he?"

Matters were in this volcanic state; Jones a n d Kenwood breathing threats daily; Toper Tim' growing bolder and bolder i n his interference with Old J o e and his partner; Hazletort finding it each h o u r a greater trouble to ward off the storm, when suddenly and most un­expectedly the denouement came.

It was a warm September afternoon. The entire camp with the exception of Jackson and one or two new-comers, was at work i n the gulch; the sound of pick and shovel and rattling gravel, the

knew her no t ; but, you know, gentle­men, how her0 l ife has wrapped itself about mine since she came in to this camp. Toper Tim who had also follow­ed me, suspected her. and therefore per­secuted her; to-day that persecution is ended! x <

" W h i l e working here, with m y part­ner a t my side, Tim. appeared, a n d fail­ing to pick a quarrel -with me, for he had been drinking heavily, he suddenly turned toward-my partner and would have kissed her. Wi th a single c ry she eluded him, and striking away h e r dis­guise fled to me and ealled me husband I

"Gentlemen, the sudden shock—the sight of that sweet face, t he sound of that loving word—in the flash of an eye restored me! Even as m y wife called, ' Old Jo ' was swept away, and I stood again, with outstretched arms, he r hus­band! And then, hellish hound that he was, TogerThn, knpwjng t ha t she was forever lost t o him, would have killed me, for I waa unarmed, had not my darling thrown herself before me and received his murderous bullet, re­turn ing his fire with her own h a n d -but too late I She gave her life, woman­like, to save mine."

There was a funeral a day or two after, and all the camp were mourners.

was a struggle for years to Sad 'bread for the little ones, but he-fought brave­ly, and disappointing those m i o looked for his failure he held on, and even s^,v-ed others from going over the precipice.

...... President Grant , who h a d - t n o w h bis W e stood in silence about the narrow father, heard of his struggle and sent

grave, for we had neither parson n o f j j o r hhji- Congratulating him on hiSi Eook, and the half-stifled sobbing of the reform, he said men was the only "burial service; but as we turned homeward through thejfalling night, Deacon Jones, walking slo'wly at my side, said, in a hoarse whisper:

"Major, I feel as if I had prayed! God rest the soul of Old Jo's- partner!"

splash of rocking-cradles and the mur­mur of men's voices mingled softly in the mild air, when there suddenly rang clear and shrill above all, from up the stream i n the direction of Old Jo ' s claim, a long, agonized scream, followed by a coarser cry, l ike the snar l of a n enraged animal, then two sharp pistol shots, so close one upon the other, that but a sin­gle echo died along the canyon's s i d e s -then silence.

A dozen bronzed faces blanched, a dozen men dropped their tools and seized their weapons, and, Jones leading, r an swiftly u p the-stream.

"Tjbe cussed hound has done i t !" whispered the Deacon to Kenwood as they r a n ; "we ' re too late."

" N o t too l a t e for h i m ! " hissed Ken­wood.

The distance was short. Fifty rods and they turned the bluff and were upon Jo's claim. Involuntari ly they paused.

'Ly ing close to. the stream, at their very feet, his ugly, bloated face turned up to t h e cloudless sky, was Toper Tim, a clean bullet hole in the center of his forehead, dead; a little above, Old J o crouched at t h e water's edge, holding his partner in his arms, while he strove to staunch the bright blood which welled in a steady s tream from a wound in his side. I n one hand Hazleton grasped ^ yet warm pistol ; t he other arm was about o ld Jo's neck. But, strangest of all, t h e long, black hair and hea^y beard of the n e w man were gone, and, instead, there l ay upon Old Jo 's shoulder a great wealth of golden tresses, find there looked u p into his eyes with a j o y that was the las t joy of life, a beautiful face—the face of a woman I .» " Great God I" murmured Jones, and uncovered, A n d we who were follow­ing did the same. There was silence over all , only t h e gentle lap of the stream and the Short, gasping breath of thedy- . ing woman broke upon the ear. W e stood a s in a temple waiting.

Suddenly a bitter e ry escaped from Jo's partner a n d a pallor crept over he r cheek. She d rew her companion closer.

What Does This Mean}

* We'repr int a letter from Judge God-dard of Portland, which exhibits i n cojd figures the "astonishing degradation.of the standard of morals in a New Eng­land State. In less than thirty years the number of convicts in the Maine State prison has increased more than two hundred per cen t , while the popu­lation outside of the prison walls has in­creased only fourteen per cent. I n re­spect to some of the more heniouB crimes the percentage of- increase is much greater. Nor is this moral deter­ioration due to foreign elements i n the population. Less than one-fifth of the convicts now serving terms at Thomas-ton are foreigners. "Almost two-thirds of these convicts are not only natives of the United States but also natives of Maine.

W h a t does this import? Maine is the state where the policy of prohibiting by law the sale of intoxicating liquors has had t h e fairest and fullest trial tha t it has ever had in the world. From time to time, for more than twenty-five years, the prohibitory statutes have been remodelled and renewed; bu t nev­er repealed—severe at their mildest and almost intolerable in their strictest forms.

The one great argument in favor of prohibitory legislation has been that drink is the fountain head of crime, and tha t if it be made difficult o r im­possible to precure alcohol crime will be diminished, and society benefitted.

Only from this point of view can pro­hibitory enactments be justified at all in a country where sumptuary laws are held to be odious, ana where a n y re­straint upon the personal freedom of the citizen is resisted to the utmost.

Would it be fair or logical to con­clude that this tremendious increase in the amount of crime in Maine, coincid­ing as it does with the period during which prohibition has been the policy of the state, is the result of that policy? Probably not. But it is fair t o con­clude that the system has failed in its chief object, while its practical results have proved the fallacy of the only ex­cuse for the experiment.—[N. Y . Sun.

During the late adinhnstratipn of Grant there chanced to. be a young-pian in one of the departments who." like so many others then and now, had entered on that horrible declivity which' •begins with the gilded t ippli^gsaloonandends —who shall say w h e r e r He was a capa­ble clerk, and his sprees and shortcom­ings were condoned for the sake o f the« memory of ^ his .honored father, >Senator "

A Place in the Department.

A Washington correspondent One brignt morning last spring John Sherman was sitting in h i s office when suddenly a bright-haired, pretty girl dashed into his presence. She was ap­parently sixteen, and had about her an air of business which even the cold gaze of t h e Ohio statesman could no t trans­form into maiden fright or Surry* Deliberately taking a seat, the gir l said: " Mr. Sherman, I have come here to get a place." "There are none vacant," was the reply. " I know you can give me a place if you want, and I th ink I am as much entitled to i t as anybody. My father spent his life in the uni ted States Army, and when he died h e left nothing. The responsibility of the family is on me, a n d I th ink 1 have got as good a claim as any one else on the Government." " Wha t kind of a place do "you want?" " I don't care what i t is, bu t I must have work a t once." He assured her that there were ten appli­cants for every one place, and there was very little chance. She very .deliber­ately told h im that such an answer wouldn't do, and declared that if he would allow her she would come up everyday and black his shoes, if he couldn't do better for her. The Secre­tary was struck with her determination and charmed by her bright face and her sprightly manner. He told her to come back. In less than a week she had a good place in the Treasury, which she still holds. Every morning she walks to the department -with the step of a buslnesslittle woman who is proud that her delicate hands cau~be the support of others. She receives $100 a month* and supports in comfort he r mother and sister. This brave, bright young^wo-man is Miss Mary Macauley, formerly of Atlanta, Georgia.

The young man said: "-Send me, sir, where 1 left a blackened record. I t may encourage others, if I regain a good » name, a n d ! would be more" useful in my former position." • . "

The President wrote a note to the secretary of that department and hand­ed it to the young man, who left, but ere long returned with an anxious face.

" T h e secretary sent out word that myapplication would go on file."

The President, with an ironclad ex­pletive, said, " Ifou-can't put your wife and children on file, can you?" Writ­ing another note and handing it to him, he said: ' ' Give this in person and bring me an answer." Armed with this mis-sive^heoconfronted the awful presence beyond the baize door and met ah im­patient refusal. •

" W h a t shall I tell the President?" he calmly inquired.

" T h a t there are no vacancies." W h e n this was delivered at the White

House the imperturbable Grant, biting the end of a cigar, siezed a red-ink pen and wrote across the face of his former note: ' ' Make a vacancy, or I will!"

"Take this and bring nis answer." Yet again did the young man* return*

unsuccessful. The President obtained temporary employment for his friend, taking Him in person to another depart­ment, and awaited the Cabnet meeting the following day. Here the President seemed as quietly imperturahle as a sphynx. As the members-left the room the President followed Secretary to the door, and said: "By the way, Mr. Secretary, who would you reccom-mend for your successor?",. The aston­ished gentleman replied, and, passing to another department,- wrote a hasty resignation and sent it in. He was re­lieved of his portfolio the following day.

The young m a n made excellent use of the faith shown in him by his won­derful judgment of character, and rose to a position of eminent usefulness a n d respectability, which he occupies to-day in one of the largest cities in our land. So did the friendless stranger win his place and the honorable secretary lose his, because the warrior chief had traced his course in lurid characters, -not with sword t ip but with pen: " Make a va­cancy, or I will :" and now, as of yore, to say was to do, and the m a n who " would fight i t out on this l ine," etc., undeviatingly kept his word.—Wash­ington Bepttblican. . .

Benedict Arnold's Grand-daughter.

The following announcement was re­cently published in the Cork Constitu­tion.

"Eogers—On the 13th inst, at Por-tarlingtoni Louise Russell, widow of the late Eev. J o h a Cecil EagerSj formerly rector of Nbhoval County, Cork, and youngest and only surviving daughter of the late Captain William Fitch Ar­nold of LittleMissenden Abbey, Bucks, England, and grand-daughter of Gener-a lArno ld . "

The lady whose death is thus announc­ed, i t is said, is the last of the family, of the typical American traitor, Benedict Arnold, b y his Finglish wife. The TJtica Observer says that the obloquy of he r descent clung to her and embittered- her life. Though the wife of a clergyman, she suffered from social ostracism fpr the rank offense of her father's father in betraying the sacred cause of American liberty. Her unhappy life shows how true is the old fiat that t he sins of the father shall be visited upon t h e children to the third and fourth generation,
