The Canadian Girl Who Waited for Har Lever to .Make Ilia Fortune. From the Cleveland Flalndealer. Butts, May 30. Life in Butte has its ro mance now and then, and the story of Angus McQueen proves it. Fifteen years ago he was plodding along in a small Canadian Tillage, fooling constantly that in the wide world out side there was n field where he could accom plish greater things. Ho tied his bundles to gether and left the home of his childhood. This was not all. He had fallen in love with a pretty, little modeit girl, and they were en gaged to be married, but with no time set for the wedding, for Angus insisted that he could not think of talcing any girl from her home until be had a home to offer her in return. And thus were nffairs between them when he shook the dust of Canada off his feet and came to the United States. The young man drifted out into Montana. There was plenty of work for willing hands, and Angus was no sluggard; he worked bard, ho worked early and late, but luck did not at tend him. Eight years of the same dreary routine went by, and during that time Angus went back to his old home twice. On both oc casions ho bad long talks with the girl, who was patiently waiting for him, and feeling at each visit more and more despondent he tried to convince her that she was wasting ber life for r fancy, told her in so many words that he did not believe he ever would be rich enough to dare to marry, but the girl was braver than he, and would not be relinquished. Six years ago Angus reached the end of bis lane and found the turn. He struck pay dirt one day, and in a few weeks realized tbat be was worth something like 450,000. He did not telegraph the good news home; be did not take the first train home; he did not ev en write to the dear ones there of his good fortune. Prosperity had not phased him in the least, Dut it caused him to set a mark he should strive to reach, and when tbat should be attained he determined to go home, and if his promised wife was still true he would marry her and make ber happy. The months rolled by and Angus McQueen had cot a foot hold in Butte. Here he got track of a mine located in the center of the town that to him seemed able to realize all his hopes if he could secure It. Ho easily learned the owner's name, but his whereabouts was another matter. With the tame persistence, howerer, that had charac terized his whole life, be began to search for him. Fortune having once smiled upon him, now seemed lavish of her favors, and he found bis man. He did not attempt any doublo dealing. He told the owner many things about Butte that he did not know, and offered him 425,060 cash for his holding. The proposition was accepted, the papers made out, and Angus became the proprietor of a mine that in less than throe months proved to bo in truth what in fanoy he bad dreamed. Then began his little scheme for a ro mance. The excuse he sought for going sud denly home came upon him in a most un pleasant manner; he received a dispatch that Lis mother wa3 very ill. At a moment's notice he started for Canada, and there, hap pily, found his mother recovered. He also found his girl waiting for him still. Again he went through th arguments he had used before, but the girl said no; she did hot care for money, and she said she would not be a drag upon him. 8he had confidence in his ability to earn enough to live on, and that was all she asked. Angus was overjoyed, but repressed all emotion. He merely said: 'Well, get ready and wo will get married and go back West together." This they did; a quiet wedding took place and two weeks later they were settled in a pleasant homo here in Butte. The faithful Canadian lass had in the end not only found a husband, but a rich one, too. A pretty story, but with a shrug of the shoul ders you ask, is it true? Well, if you do not believe it come to Butte and have a chat with Mrs. Angus McQueen. Then you will. Not Trustworthy. There were tears in her eyes, and yet the light of hopo illumined her countenanoe. "Darling (she came and laid her trembling hand upon his arm), let ns not be disheart ened. Can we not believe that the day will yet dawn?" He shook his head. "Myposi--tion," he answered lepulchraliy, "is such that I feel reluctant to express a definite con viction upon such matters." And pressing a handkerchief to his eyes the forecast officer of the weather bureau tottered from the pres- wiw wi wie tjiri ae aaorea. uetroit xriDune. Too Young.

Good News. "Chicago Liz." Bx Una. L. P. Ccrrxin in Scxday Mebcbbt. Mn. Hannlgan, better known In the Blue Jay mining camp as "Chicago Liz," had closed her bar for the day. It was Sunday, and though prohibition laws and Sunday license laws had but little effect in that wild community, "Liz," according to a miner's words, was 'a damned strange woman about Fomo things, aclos'n of her bar Sundays and ehettin' herself up light as a drum every night at 12 m., schedulo time, so that a fellow couldn't get no drink' after that time, be it ever so bad with him. Thnt boy as has groweJ up alongside of her saya Liz was a good Christian woman once upon a time, and done a heap o' good, but I puts it to you now, pard, if that is a likely story, when she is a runnin' a bar in a mlnln' camp and more 'n that come from Chicago?" But murmurs wore in vain. Liz had friends in the camp to baok her rules, and they were powerful friends. Left some years before a chililess widow by a husband she idolized, whoso loss drove hor half insane and made her turn against the God she wor shipped, she had, notwithstanding, lived her life squarely and honestly as she knew how until alone in a great city she drilled down to starvation's point. Driven like a storm tossed Dtrd, a strain of gypsy blood in her broke loose and she thought of the wide Wild West THE LAND OF SUNLIGHT Southern California Jaunt of toe W. N. P. A. ITS JOYS AND ITS SORROWS The lizard and Centipedes and Landlord! and Beautiful Scenery The Switzerland of America The Glorious Ean Oabrltl Taller ani Picturesque Fauadeu. A land of sunny days. Of winds whose soft caress Doth lull to sweat forgetfulnees; Of days enwrapped in mellow haze. And nights where f airy-fingered sleep Doth soothe the restless pulses of the deep; A land v. he re Winter hath fair Summer wed, And these, their gentle progeny, are bred. Yes, married and gone to housekeeping, to stay. A beautiful corner of the earth blessed with ever-vernal Spring, where days and nights are one sweet dream, where the winds softly caress and soothe into fargetfulness the very aches and pains of afflicted humanity, and they bless the band and brain that led them to this lovely spot. Such was the uni versal opinion of our party as we rode in the tally-ho, up and down, in and out, around the plateaus of the old and new Spanish-like San Diego. And oh! the beautiful sunsets at this land locked town by the sea! The Docullar soft ness of the atmosphere is said to accrue from the salt oceau breeze kissing the hot desert current sweepirg out from the interior, mak ing it as mild the year round as the iEgean sea the paradise of invalids.

Tbe "Hotel Del Ceronado," located on the South Beach, Is the largest pleasure resort hotel in the world, under one continuous roof. It covers nearly five acres, with 10,000 feet of flooring in dining ball alone, with its circular ball room or music hall measuring 11,000 feet of flooring, its canopied ceiling, with winding staircase leading to the observa tory, reminding one of tbe plan of the Capi tol at Washington on a smaller scale, and to which our party climbed as if at borne, and were rewarded by one of tbe finest ocean and harbor views tbat could be imagined;an ocean steamet coming into port, the United States man-of-war Monterey lying at anchor in the San Diego bay, with tbe jolly tars flying about tbe silvery ribbon of water in their dories, singing as they kept time with tbe measured dip of their oars a beautiful picture indeed. On Point Loma is a government light house, which seems to be so high (500 feet) tbat another has been built on the sand point below of more practical advantage. About tbe hotel parks are luxurious flora, hedge-rows of Marguerites and Monterey cy press, which line the avenues, and white rows of calla lilies form borders to lower beds, tho patio or court sheltered by palms and cling ing vines over endless fretwork of arbors, all lay a lovely sight around us An electric railway connects this great caravansary with the San Diego ferry. We gazed into Old Mexico (fifteen miles south) with no envy in our hearts. Mr. Babcock, the hotel manager, showed tbe bath houses with hot and cold sea water; the well-stocked museum, with Its at tendant professor to instruct the searcher in practical demonstration of facts, such as tbe uses of lizards and centipedes; tbe wonderful mineral spring tbat bubbles out of tbe sandy conglomeration in the relation of a "Provi dence Spring" to the briny surroundings, furnishing abundance of fine mineral water for table use and bottling for exportation, said to bo a nerve tonic. There is no hay feer, no malaria, no cold snaps, no heated term, no loss of appetite, no languor, no in somnia, 800 days in the year of sunshine and cool nights. We are told to make excursions to Mexico, to Old Town San Diego, to striko their bells in the quaint tower at the historic ruins of the old Mission church, visit tho Portugese colony and their vineyards; see the ostrich farms carried on with great suc cess here; see the remnant of the Pueblo In dians from Isleta, the same rich band who loaned money to the United States govern ment to carry on the Mexican war, still liv ing, we suppose; talk with Mr. C. F. Lummis, their guardian, who says thev have come to seo California and the great "Fiesta;" but we prefer to talk with the great writer and ex plorer, tho man who has mastered their lan guage and studied their hieroglyphics as no other writer has had the courage to do, by living with them for a decade. We must see the bronchos and bulls at the race grounds ready for the morrow's races, Spanish games, processions; all this to be seen in a half day, and Sunday at that, for Christian women. What could we do but see what wo could, send regrets for the rest, with promises to the kind and hospitable peo ple and to ourselves that, with carrying home memories we could never forget, we had promised to come again. The grnnd "Fiesta" was a great success, although the women visitors were too timid to remain for the fight. We could not forget tbe large-hearted host of the Horton house, Mr. W. E. Hadley, who recited a rhyme upon receiving us in the par lor on Sunday morning, thus: "Oh! grace divine shall ever shine On these beautiful ladlesof mine." Some thought he said "thine;" we argued "mine" was all right when we discovered his good care of us. Upon being assured it was original, we responded Dy the W. N. P. A. salute and forgave him, if he would us. We were showered with floral blessings in bouquets at each plate at breakfast a delicate compliment, which we thoroughly enjoyed. At this home-like hos telry we were shown the very room in which wa3 written the novel "Eamona." witn scenes laid in this charmed region. Boxes and bouauets of flowers were sent in by citizens during the day, and the quiet Sabbath night interspersed by callers, among whom were the mayor of Han Fran cisco, Mr. Ellert, and Miss Madge Morris Wagner, the poetic author of the "Liberty Bell." Mrs. Gen. U. S. Grant has a home here, but her daughter-in-law was quite sick, and we drove by in tbe tally-ho, leaving each our cards for ber, with regrets and sympathy. Of all tbe places visited which we should remember as woman's work, where each were let loose to tako all tbe roses and calfas they pleased in Miss Sessions' gardens, she, a Her husband had been in the office of the president of one of the great Western roads. With desperate courage she sought this mighty magnate, trembling lest be might re fuse her. Her name procured her Instant admittance from that noble-hearted man and a kind reception. She faltered forth her prayer for a pass. "To what point?" She had not thought. Anywhere. What did it matter? "Denver." she answered, haphazard. He looked at her hand, at hor full, red mouth a-quiver, her cheeks aglow, her great dark eyes heavy with unshed tears. At his ready, cordial assent, she could not refrain to burst into sobs, and soroly ashamed, she rose and walked tu a distant window. In the room was a oung man whose kind ling eyes bad never left her since she entered. He was a big. broad-shouldered, statuesque fellow about 20 one of those men who look as If they were made to protect women. He hud a face as beautiiul as tho youth John the Baptist in Del Berreechlo's famous painting, with its perfect features, mustuche of down, rose-leaf skin, and dreaming, seraphic blue eyes. Why is it that men of his stamp are so often fatal to women? Because timid und guarded though our sex may be. we cannot look into such a face and not trust it. He approached the president. "What is the matter with the lady?" he asked in a low tone. "She is tbe widow of one of my employes, Jem. She wants a. pans to Denver. But there must bo something more than tbat the matter." Then ho rose and went to Liz and said kindly: "Mrs. Hannlgan. I fear there is something very much the matter. If there is anything I can do, pray let me know it. Your husband was in my employ for years. Let me act as a friend, a brother." New England teacher, having lost her voice, came to the Italy of America to recover her health. A few acres of the city park reserva tion was turned over lo nxperiment on some of her theories of irrigation. Over the Mesa the dug. Irrigated, and planted, and has developed some valuable theories in Bmoll fruit culture; has tried systems of develop ment of hillsides and slopes by irrigation Which are of great value to the city "dads," which she freely gives to them as they gave of land to her all a woman's work, and an Invalid at that, but not an invalid now. A great bouquet found at our "Demarara" bore the kind adieu of our host, Mr. Hadley, on Monday noon, the San Dlogan Sun and Union representatives wavod farewell, and on we sped back to "tbe City of tbe Angels," feeliug we had left some of the angels behind in Mrs. Jennie W. Snyder and tho wife of the Union editor, both members of tbe Southern California Woman's Press Club, resident at the extreme south point of tbe state. Our Invited guests for this trip were our esteemed host of the 8. P. It. (Dr. May) and Prof. G. W. James, of the Mount Lowe Eeho Maga zine, both of whom declared they had en joyed themselvej.

A day in Pasadena is a feast of fruits and flowers and beautiful homes, with one of Ray mond's line hotels near by; but to add to it the climb on the Mt. Lowe Groat Incline Cable railway, with the enjoyment of Echo mountain scenery, is more than one can men tion in n pnragragh. Words are tame to de scribe the grandeur of the Sierra Madre range, covered with eternal snow, and its val levs of summer verdurw together. "From -orange groves and roses to snow." was a trip given to tne w. N. i A. excursion party through Prof. T. S. (J.iLowe. Its founder. The terminal railway from Los Angeles to Pasa dena, the home-city of San Gabriel valley, tendered by tbe G. A. K. Mr. W. Wlucup, esq., accompanied bySupt.W.H. Knight, of tho electric trolley line to Rubio Canyon, and tho kind caro of Prof. O. W. James, our esteemed editorial friend of the Mt. Lowe Echo (a wiekly paper with fine illustrations), we ar rived in one hour and forty minutes into the heart of tho canyon. Professor Lowo had a special part, too, in the person of tho tecond j assistant postmaster general, j. i.owry iseii. Postmaster Van Dusen, of Los Angeles, and Railway Mall Superintendent Flint a pleas- ure combined with business of United Stntes mall service to in-pect governmental service. The Terminal Railway is understood to be a beginning of another transcontinental road, tbe Pacific terminus of which is to be at San Pedro or some point probably the great Long Pier. San Gabriel Valley is one beauti ful garden and Passadena its blissful bower. Orange blooms were plucked for our pleasure at two stations, with fruit on tbe same stem, verifying tho well knowu couplet: "OhI would I were an orange tree, That busy plant; Then would 1 eTer laden be. And never want Some fruit forhlm(tbem) that dresseth me." The motor road to Rubio cau on is a con tinual ascent through fields of fruits, alfalfa, poppy, and lastly rocks rocks and heather.

Hero are furnished first-class lectures of science aud truel, have balls, parties, banquets, everything to enter tain at band." But the climb of the "White Chariot" to Echo mountain, 3,000 feet in length, is glori ous. Tbe cable is of finest steel, tested ut 100 tons, with never oerflte tons weight on actual strain; with cog wheels lor breaks in machinery, and triple action in cose of acci dent by one motive power, it makes the lift positively safe until worn out. Words fail to express the scene that opens to view in tho ascent, and as we seemed to rise on wings wo fouml the eagle's eyrie at the top tho Echo Mount Chalet, at which a banquet was given in honor of the "Women of the Press of tho Great East and the Great West." Prof. Lowe heartily greeted all in the reception parlors, and turned over tho further duties of "mine host" to his lieutenant, Prof. James, who gave a most poetic and enthusias tic speech of welcome, responded to on the part of the Washington contingent by cur president, Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, saying: 'This has been the red-letter day of the en tiro journey to myself and traveling compan ions. It is the culminating delight of our California trip thus far, and wo gratefully acknowledge our Indebtedness to Professor Lowe, tho distinguished man whoso genius made this pleasure possible." Major Samuel Walker, of Washington, one of our party, said also: "The master genius of the man dis plays and demonstrates the wisdom and tho glory of his God and Creator." Mrs. Hart, of Lo3 Angeles, responded for the local press In a happy expression of fra ternity, and we were most royally entertained all round. Tbe construction of a large mountain house Is going on and is nearly completed; also tho extension of the incline cable rail way" up Mount Lowe, the peak where is begun the great observatory buildings in which is to be set a 37Jf-inch reflecting telescope. This is the pet scheme of the professor tbe acme of his hopes and ambitions. Ho says that tho Sierra Madre chain and tbls highest point (2.0C0 feet higher than the Lick observatory) is superior to any now occupied because of climatic effects on instruments, tbe sea fogs, cloud making, and a survey of a portion of the stellar zone favorable here and as yet un explored. We responded to ail, even tbe stellar zone, for, in the words of the forty second verse of our rollicking excursion song, we have faith in what we see and point up to tbe professor for what we cannot see. The noted guests were met, prominent among whom was tho timely arrltal of Dr. Scarce knowing what she did. she stam mered out words that betrayed to him her situation, ane was aione, wretcned; yea! even faint for want of food. "Bless my soul, why didn't you appeal to us? The company never suffers tbe widows of its employes to come to absolute want. Take tbls, madamc. Oh! thin nothing of it. It is customary." Poor Liz she was proud enough In her way, but she grabbsd at that fllty-dollar bill. A lightning flash seem to gleam through her disordered brain. Fifty dollars! friends with the company! Why need she go off on thnt wild journey, ignorant and unknowing of the world and its ways as she was? Bat impending fate was at her elbow. "Here, Jem, yon are going to Denver tbis weok. Cnn't you take my old friend's widow under your charge?" "Mr. Chudleigh, Mrs. nannigan." Again the kindling eyes rested on the attractive, though tear-washed face. "With pleasure." he eagerly responded. Ho did take her, and nfter a year of com panionship in Denver they pushed out for tho Blue Jay mining camp, in which Jem owned n sbaro. His funds had run low, and after hastening to start Liz in business pretty sure to bring in "the dust," he went into the office of my brother-in-law. ex-Judge C, to read mining law and wait patiently for that dig nitary to push his mine. But the mine bad not panned out as was expeted, and for three years he hid lived more or less on what was expressed in hln favorite toostf "Liquor and Liz." To express her fidelity, her devotion, her thousand tender llttlo ways and cares for him I simply cannot. Sho never asked herself where it was to end, living in that blind dream of love which finds nothing like itself this side of heaven. As we have said, tbe bar was closed, but there were two Inmates behind those barred doors her lover and herself.

E. B. S. WOMAN AT THE TICKET WINDOW. This One Took Her Time While Fifteen Waiting .Men Counted the Seconds. Thi3 is simply another version of the old, old story of the woman and the tiektt agent and fllteen waiting, impatient men with no means of redress. It was at the Cortlandt street station oi the Pennsylvania Railroad one morning last week. Time, 9 o'clock, and the Long Branch train was to leave in ten minutes. . Four women rushed into the station, breath less, but chattering away at a lively rate. One of tbe quartet, a tall, angular woman, with umbrella, lost summer's bat and gown tnnrle nvtr nnil retrmimftil. a narcel evidently I ,.nnt1nlv hirw-li ami other incidental articles ' , ,i,i.f. .,.-, ,in.. . entlal to lb make up of a mature spinster of tho conventional type, was conspicuously tbe leader of the party. She surveyed the in terior of the waiting room critically, and then spotted her ictini in the window, and tbe sign "Ticket Agent" over it. Flouncing up' to tbe window she Leenu the attack. "What time is it?" she snapped in a tone that eaused the ticket seller todroDlome I papers and assumo a defensive attitude. "Nino-one evactly, madam," was his reply, delivered in n II rm tone. "Are we in lime for the 9.10 train?" "Oh, yes, madam." "Thanks. The reason I asked was because I did not know whether tbe time table meant the train left from here or the other side of the ferry. You know time tables are so un reliable unless oti get new ones right along, and tbe one we looked at was one we had last year, so we ere not sure, you know." The agent simply bowed and smiled sardon ically. The other women were conversing quietly in a corner, and several men entered and formed in line behind the woman at tho watches were pulled out and replaced with increasing anger on tbe part of tbe owners. Tho woman glanced over the new tlmo table and was satisfied. "You'll have to hurry, madam, if you want to get that 9.10 train; it's 9.05 now." "Oh my, yes. Now I want a ticket," she said, and began a search through her pocket book. She finally found a dollar bill and laid it down. "Where did you say you were going?" said tho ticket man. "To Long Branch." "Do you want a single or excursion?" queried the agent in that peculiar mechanical manner tbat school children employ when conning lessons. "Excursion, of course." "Dollar fliitv for excursion, madam." "Tbat includes a parlor car, doesn't it?" "Oh, no," wo the terse reply. Now there were fifteen men in tho line, and very impatient ones at that. Some groaned aloud and others made sharp remarks, but tho woman had not finished her business with the ticket seller. "Why, they didn't cost that last year." "There has been no change in the rate. You've only got threo minutes for the train, mndam." "Goodness ! yes. and oh ! how stupid I want three more tickets." Then began another search through tho pocketbook, nnd a H bill came forth. She got tho tickets and examined each as care fully as she might a piece of muslin on a bargain counter. She finally moved slowly away, nnd the next moment there was a series of hoarse shor.ts und tbe line of fifteen men dnshed passed tho window like the charge of a regiment of cavalry. They threw their money in nnd caught their tickets on the fly. The woman, having assured herself that she was all right, summoned her three com panions, and they hurried along to the ticket taker. There was another blockade here. The leader at first decided that she would take charge of the tickets. Then a discussion followed, nnd she changed ber mind and handed oaeh of tho others her respective ticket. The line of men meanwhile reached the ticket taker, and they brushed by the women Iiko a streak of lightning. Then tbe women found that they would have to hustle if tbey were going to get the boat, and they ran, too. One of them at tempted to get by without having her ticket I unched, nnd sho had to return. The others stood in the gateway so the mau could not close it and waited for her. The quartet reunited and ran down the gangway, and reached tbe boat just as tho deckhands loos ened tho cablo chains. Tho fllteen martyrs who had marshalled up on tbo after dock with expressions of blissful expectancy groaned aloud again as tbo women stepped on the boat. But when tho Jersey shorn was reached the quartet did not pre cedo them in the race for tho train. Tho 9.10 train was six minutes late in starting that morniug. New York Sun. I i In the pantry near by Mike, her right-hand assistant, an irisn Doy oi oignteen, wus wash ing glasses. She sat with her chair atilt against tho wall and her arras folded, not a dignified attitude, but ber face w.is full of a wiid, tragic, pas sionato pathos, und her tones were deep and rough with the tempest at her heart. Chud leigh stood on his feet leaning against tho bar shelvos, a half defiant look in those "seraph eyes," as a New York belle had named them. "I tell you." sho said, with a certain long drawn catching of her breath between words, which a phjsicinn would havo understood at once, "I toll you I know it and 'hat is enough. I havo told you before, I declare it again, that I'd rather beiu the grasp of a tiger of tbe East India jungles, than in tbe arms of a man I love, who is hankering after another woman, l'es! Ten thousand times, fortiie tiger's claws would dig my heart's blood, nnd the accursed dream of Hie would lie over, while the man would let me live on through a bell of his own making. I tell you I'd never forgive treach ery why couldn t you have listened? Play a fair game every time and I'd for give anything. Had you said: 'Liz, my thoughts have wandered away from you, and I think I ouhgt to tell you," I would have answered, as God sees me, 'Go with the one you love and be happy.

To know thnt an other woman rests at night in v our arms, that another woman pillows your babies on her breast. Oh! my God! If there be a refuge for mn away from him, away from her, let me find it."

She drained the vvino nnd turned to leave him, but ho caught ber in his arms nnd gathered her to his heart with a thrill of un spoken fear. He looked Into her face closely. A dead crny hue had replaced ber usual roseate tints. In tbe beautiful, deep, Irish blue eyes, with their curlinir black lashes, an arid tearless despair hud replaced the dreamy gaze of love. Uc dared not kiss her, but rested his lips on the satiny richness of her bluish black hair. Tho wine gave her strength, and she unclasped his twining arms and flung him from her. "Don't dare to follow me," she cried, and fled out into tho open air. She did not stop until sao came to a ciump oi cottonwooa trees, perhaps nn eighth of a mile from the camp, and threw herself down prone at the foot of one of them. "The air was sharp and piercing, the sun dazzling. Far as the eye reached rose the rough crags and peaks and boulders of tbe stern old Rocky- mountains, broken only by one peep at the distant range of tho Sangso de Crlsto shining with its purity of untrodden snow, with spots of vapor of a delicious blue between. She beheld nothing in the wide desolate immensity. Even tbat awful spasm of jealous ferocity was for the moment overcome by thn deadly fear which crept over her at tho acute physical pain her excitemtnt had thrown her into. Her breath camo in quick, hard gasps, with a sensu of suffocation, of the passing away of all things; n knife seemed piercing her heart. "Am I to die as I saw my mother nnd my sister die? Havo I the same aliment which makes the heart's mental wounds fatal at last?" Her mind flew back to the scenes of her youth. She saw the peaks clothed in verdure of her own dear mountain land.

Sho smelt the flowers, she heard the soft whisperings of the wind in tho pines. Hark! thnt music in tbe air! It is her mother's voice singing "God be with you till we meet again." Tho hymn was on her lips an hour before sbo died. What had she brought her life to sines then? She could take hold on no future see none. Everything seemed to have corns to a dull, dead stop. Life was a midnight, moonless and starless. Hush! that. tender voice again; "In the valley of tbe shadow. Eventhen shall Thy band lead me and Thy right hand uphold me." "Mother! Mother! Oh! God forgive!" She could feel her limbs growing cold and colder. A literal darkness swept over her vision. Just then her lover reached her. He bent over her and halt raised her, in an agony of aroused love and fear. Un saw the glazing shadows In those glorious eyes, felt tbe awful death chill in the cheek he pressed, saw the faint, acute struggle for the fleeting breath. "Oh! Liz, my own girl, rouseyourself. You've been most as bod as this before and I've brought you to. Oh! whv didn't I bring wine. I can't stand tbis. I.iz, for God's sake, for Jem's sake, look at mo as if you knew mo. Don't go don't leave me. Why, I should feel as if I hod killed you. I should curse myself forever." She struggled ii his arms, tried fearfully for strength, nnd whispered, "Jem, it's no use. Tell me yon will nev er nuv er " "So- help mo Ood, never! My wife! My wife! I'll never call another woman by that name." "Kiss me onco again. Jem." With a groan he l.iid his lips on hen and received her last sigh in life. Bend down your head For the last time the sad, last time Set your last seal ujon her mouth The day Is dim with Winter's rime.
