i MIRIAM GUNTER.
As I was hurrying homeward from my
office one evening in October I wm de
tained on a fashionable thoroughfare by
many carriages. A society wedding re
ception was taking place.
I watched a few ladies pass ont of
their carriages to the awning, and thence
into the residence. It was rather inter
esting to a novice the begloved men
were so thoroughly conversant with the
imnntifB of attending to the wants of
' the fair ladies. From my position I
could look into the vast drawing rooms.
There stood the "happy couple," a
handsome pair. He tall and dark, but
with eyes and month that spoke of a will
it would be dangerous to cross. She was
also tall, with a winsome face of unusual
brightness.
It was a face that changed with every
breath. The blue eyes would grow black
with excitement. The merry looking
little month disclosed most of the time a
set of beautiful white teeth. A wealth
of brown hair ruffled and curled all over
the well shaped head.
Yes, she was a very bonny bride, and
I did not wonder the young man looked
at her with such an endearing gaze. No
one would dare monopolize her attention
with him around.
I finally moved on, considering I had
sentimentalized long enough.
Six months later my circumstances
were materially altered. I was in a po
sition to enter society if I so wished, and
at the urgent request cf my uncle I did
eo. It being known that I was heir to
considerable wealth, I hod no trouble in
securing plenty of partners.
One evening at a large ball given by
Mrs. Fred DeTancy, I was introduced to
Mrs. Clarence Ounter, in whom I imme
diately recognized the bride of a few
months before.
The face was the same, yet changed.
The eyes seemed larger than ever. This
was probably owing to some dark lines
tinder them.
When the flush of excitement would
0 the face looked rather pale. It was
an interesting face, and looked as though
it held a story.
Her husband stood near her, jealously
guarding her. At least it looked that
way. I asked her for a dance, but she
glanced nervously at her card and said:
"You must excuse me this evening,
Dr. Warren, but the little I dance will
De with Mr. Gunter."
"At least I may sit out n few," I mur
mured. "Oh, certainly," with a bright smile.
Well, that was the beginning of the
end. I forgot that she was married, for
got everything except that I was sitting
by the side of the sweetest woman I had
ever met. Her husband had left us with
a scowl.
I wondered if she was in the habit of
using those blue eyes to Buch deadly
effect on all the gentlemen she met. If
so, how many slain there must have
been.
' That evening I never forgot. Many
more happy ones were passed by her
side, but they never seemed the same.
All that season I met Mrs. Gunter. I
called frequently at her house, became
friends with her husband, whom I soon
got to like exceedingly. He was very
fond of his wife, although he had a pe
culiar way of showing it
She was never sure of her position. At
a dinner party ho would sharply repri
mand her until at times I felt like chok
ing him.
She never showed by a sign that she
noticed it. A laugh would turn the con
versation, but I knew it cut like a knife.
I met her once alone, after such a time
in the hall. She did not see me at first.
Her face was ashy white, and her blue
eyes were dilated and looked like coals
of fire. No one would ever have dream
ed of calling them blue; her hands were
clasped convulsively, and in a hoarse
whisper I heard:
"I hate him! I hate him! Oh, Qodt
take him or me!"
I stepped quickly forward, and in my
excitement unwittingly used her first
name.
"Don't, Miriam, don't! You know not
what you are Baying."
"I wish I didn't," she sullenly replied,
and pushing by me hurried into the
drawing room, and there I found her
brightly discussing the merits of some of
Whistler's etchings.
I sat by her side and endeavored to
converse rationally, but my heart's cry
would not be stifled.
"Oh, Miriam, Miriam, why did I not
meet you first!"
She caught the passionate look in my
eyes, and involuntarily shuddered. I
collected myself and arose, saying I
would take a turn in the gardens.
As I did so there was a report and a
bright flash, and there lay Miriam, white
as death.
I rushed to her, and although nearly
wild with excitement managed to use
my medical knowledge to advantage,
, and she soon opened her eyes.
By this time the gentlemen who had
remained in the dining room rushed into
the room, and upon seeing Mrs. Ounter
lying senseless the wildest excitement
reigned. .
Her husband could not be calmed, and
insisted that he should shoot himself if
anything happened to Miriam.
We calmed him finally by frequent
assurances tiiat she would recover. I
had her carried to her room, and asked
Mr. Gunter what medical attendance I
should summon.
"Why, Warren, I'll trust her to you,
of course. If any one can pull her
through yon can."
Eastern man (in western restaurant):
"I see you have oysters on the bill of
fare. Are they fresh?" Walter: "Yes,
sab, just out ob de can, sah." New
York Weekly,
My heart t'-ubbed at the tnouht of
holding her Vfo in my hands, but . I vm
determined to prove worthy in thought
and deed of the responsibility. - '.
In the mean time the police had been
summoned and the place ransacked, but
no trace of the woold-be murderer, I
had had no time to speculate on that,
being fully occupied in writing prescrip
tions to be filled aad Ascertaining the
exact amount of danger Miriam was in.
I found that the ball had entered her
left side, just escaping the heart ' When
my instruments arrived I probed for tho
ball and soon extracted it, leaving her
free from danger.
For several weeks I tended her, and
she gradually gained strength until at
last she could sit on the piazza for an
hour each bright day. During all the
weeks the detectives had been at work,
but no clew could be found. No reason
able theory could be formed. 1 !
' I questioned her if she knew of any
one who would have any motive for such
a deed. She only shuddered, ', and it
seemed to retard her recovery every
time it was spoken.
So finally it became accepted as a mys
tery. I had called one afternoon and found
her sitting in her boudoir. She held out
her hand and said:
"I am glad you have come, doctor. I
want to talk to yon."
"I am always glad to be talked to," I
inanely remarked, wondering what was
coming. .
"You overheard some words one night
that reqaire an explanation," she began,
and her face was bright scarlet. "They
were wicked words, I am afraid, but I
have thought them many times.
"I met Mr. Gunter when I was 17, and
the fascination he had for me I mistook
for love, so that when he asked me if I
would marry him I said 'Yes.' In a few
months I saw my mistake, but knew not
how to communicate the fact. I threw
out a few hints, and he immediately be
came of ashy whiteness, and said if he
should lose me he never would live an
hour, and rather than see me another
man's wife he would shoot me.
"I wasjvery young and believed him.
In fact, I believe still he spoke the truth.
I had no courage to face these facts, so
gave myself up to the inevitable. I soon
learned, even before marriage, that he
had a violent temper. No one ever
crossed him.
"I have been humiliated time and
time again by that cursed temper. God
knows, I am naturally of a happy nat
ure, and tried to make the best of it
"I thought marriage would soften
him, but no, it hardened him, and I had
no love to help me bear it. ' I knew he
loved me with a wild, selfish love, but it
was not the kind to make me happy.
You will wonder why I tell you all of
this; no, don't interrupt I cannot help
knowing your feeling toward me, and I
think it best that we should part.
"One thing more," as I tried to inter
rupt. "I have my suspicions about that
horrible night Don t, for Ood's sake,
ask me any questions. Now will you be
merciful and go?"
I was shivering.
The mere thought of going away, never,
perhaps, to see her again, was almost
beyond my power. But I saw to cross
her would be detrimental to her health.
So I said, "Yes, I will go."
"Thank you, Bentley," she said, using
my Christian name for the first time.
"You see you could not stay here after
knowing my story. It would not be
right."
"I shall try to see you again. Good
ly, good-by, Miriam, God bless you,
child!'1 and rushed from the room.
A week later I sailed for France. For
months I traveled through Europe,
then I went into the Holy Land and
thence through to Japan. For nearly
two years I thus wandered about.
One day while at Cairo I received my
European mail, which had chased me
for some time. I noticed a letter with
a strange handwriting and immediately
opened it. It ran thus:
Dear Warren When you receive this I shall
be among the "gone before." I am tired of life.
But first I must ease my conscience, as all sinners
on their dying bed aro wont to do. When you
were first introduced to us I noticed that you lost
your heart to Miriam, and I was wildly jealous,
but I finally got to liking and also trusting you.
The night of the dinner party 1 worked myself
into a passion after you left the table, and leav
ing the room on the pretense of speaking to my
man 1 crept around to the drawing room window
and saw you two close together.
A passionate glance passed from your eyes, and
I imagined that she returned it The demon was
aroused in me, and 1 lifted my revolver and fired
at you.
My hand was unsteady, and it passed you as
you know. I hurried in, nnd my horror was ter
rible when I saw Miriam. I gave her into your
charge, because I knew if any one could bring
her through you could.
?he romorst has been gradually wearing me
away. You will hear I died if heart disease.
Don't contradict it, and let Miriam think the same.
Take care of her, and forgive me if you con. I
liked you, Warren, and I leave Miriam to your
care. Cliresci B. Gomtsb.
Oct. 8, "The Vetner."
I could not believe the letter at first.
It seemed as if it must be a fabrication
of my brain; but no, there was the let
ter to prove the truth of it. Gunter
had tried to kill me, and now had com
mitted suicide.
It was nearly a year later that I ar
rived home. I called on Mrs. Gunter at
once, and she looked very pale and sweet
in her mourning garments.
Before I left she had promised to leave
them off for a wedding gown a year
from that day. I never told her the
truth about her husband's death. She
had no suspicion about that, though.
I always thought she knew who fired
the shot that nearly deprived her of life.
However, that is a subject we never
discuss in our happy married life. T. C.

Eastern Trees in California.
California is nearly destitute of the
trees and shrubs which furnish the bril

vales. A few venturesome spirits, how
ever, have introduced from the east the
Buniash, dogwood, swamp maple, sassa

all growing satisfactorily in various por

gorgeous in color, making strangely beau

arucarias, pepper trees, acacias, etc.

8T0RY. .OF A NEW YEAR'S GIFT
THAT WAS, NEVER ENJOYED.
The Old A dafe, 'There' Many a SUp
i Betwixt the Cap aad the Lip,"' Xllo-
t rated la the Caa of a Beggar aad
HU Cola.
He was a tramp. A miserable, ragged,
rum sodden apology for a man, without
one redeeming feature. 'He had not
worked for ten years. His was a hang
dog appearance, and now and then he
furtively glanced around as if expecting
a policeman to arrest him for living.
He stood in the poetoffice corridor
and gazed ont of a window through the
darkness at Newspaper row opposite,
and pondered. It was the last day of
the year. He hadn't a friend, but then
he did not want one. All he knew was
that he was hungry, and his chronic
thirst consumed him still.
He thought of the morrow. The new
year caused him no remorse for his wast
ed life. He never was of high estate, so
that his fall had not been mighty. He
wondered if he should go through the
day, as he had at Christmas, without a
dinner. The postofflce clock pointed to
11. He leaned on the broad window sill
and dozed.
Through the corridor from the Broad
way side came brisk footsteps timed to a
cheery whistle. Our tramp roused him
self from his lethargic gloom and looked
around. It was a young man, bright
and breezy. Joy shone in his eyes. He
may have just received a letter from
Miranda; maybe he had collected a bad
debt More probably he had just made
a lucky strike on the races. At all
events he was happy. His audience did
not appreciate this, however. He only
saw in the welT dressed chap a possible
victim. So mechanically he stepped for
ward, held out a dirty paw and mum
bled the well worn refrain in which the
words "hunger sick wife five chil
dren" could be distinguished.
Imagine his astonishment when the
young man paused, after a cursory glance,
pulled out a coin, handed it to the beg
gar, and was off still whistling. The re
cipient hurried to the light to inspect his
treasure; he fairly gasped it was a dol
lar. He did not pursue the philanthropist
to put the traditional query, "Did you
mean to give me this, sir?" Not he! Out
of the poetoffice he ambled toward the
Bowery, that Mecca of all such as he, at
a faster gait than he had known for many
a month.
A short distance beyond the bridge a
thought occurred to him. What should
he do with his money? The sudden gleam
of paradise had scattered his wits. . Un
decided, wavering, he sat down on the
walk under a street lamp with his feet in
the gutter and mused. He thought of
turkey, but the word was a mockery he
had not tasted any for years. He now
sketched rapidly an ideal bill of fare;
bean soup, pork and beans, and ye gods!
plum pudding to top off! He figured .
the cost Why, he would have enough
left to take him to a theatre, and even to
sit down stairs, for once, like a lord.
But now a disturbing thought crept in.
He had forgotten something rum. His
programme was accordingly amended by
the substitution of rum for theatre.
But another question now arose to per
plex him. Should he eat first or drink
first? He drew out the precious money.
Now tke old sporting instinet asserted
itself. He would let chance decide, as
any gentleman should. The coin was to
pay the bills, and it should guide his
choice. If head came uppermost, the
rum first; if tail, the meal.
Up he tossed it, high and straight;
down it came in the same path, but miss
ing the outstretched palm it struck the
sidewalk on its milled edge. Impish,
glittering, exultant, it rolled off the side
walk into the gutter, jumped two or
three little furrows of dirt, dodged an
old cigar stump and disappeared into the
sewer at the corner.
"Come, move on out o' that," said a
policeman as he whacked his club close
to the man on the curb. New York Sun.
The Feck Over Bank.
Did you ever hear of the Perk five?
bank? There is a peculiar story con
nected witn tne title of the institution.
The Peck Over batik, which at tho ti
of the South sea trouble had another
name, was located on Lombard street,
London. It was a. rinnsArrntivA inoti'tn-
tion, as it is now, and when the bubble
