Suor SILKs are and will continue to be very fashionable. Velvet is much used to trim them, and should be of a much darker shade than the silk. Shirred flounces are more effective for shot materials than kiltings, showing the won- derful changing sheen of colors to better ad- vantage. “Pinked” ruffles and rucheg are much favored as trimmings for shot silks, and many skirts are trimmed nearly to the waist with narrow flounces having t edges thus finished. Narrow flounces, pinked and only slightly fulled, are admirable foundations for Ince frills, keeping the lace from looking limp, and also showing the pattern to better effect. Srexr Trnewxes are again in vogue, but though largely nsed on bonnets, they are spar- ingly employed for dress garniture, the effect deinz considered too showy tor perfect taste. Boonets and round hats covered with escurial and other nets of black, embroidered with steel | and trimmed with black aigrettes or tufts, frosted with steel. are exceedingly stylish and handsome.

Jet garnitures were never more fashionable or more elaborate and novel in pattern than at Present. Besprxe appears to be as much the rage as ‘ever, judging by the display made of beaded garnitures of every description, both for dress ‘and bonnet decoration.

Tt was an odd name for a girl—Sacramento. So the girl herself thonght as she stooped down beside a spring at the foot of a cotton- wood tree and lazily dropped her pail into the water. “It ought to have been given to a boy, if It was a fit name to give anybody,” she said quite alouf “But I'm more boy than girl, anyway.” This fact was added rather bitterly, as she looked at her brown, rough hands and her bare ankles, and thought of the “boy’s work” she had to do. And it was hard to believe that this was the | best kind of a life for a young girl like Sacra- | mento. Here she lived alone, for her father was down at the mouth of the canon all day. The garden work she was obliged to do, and the care of the cattle fell upon her. It was not often that she saw any person but her father, although | now and then, in spite of herself, she came in | contact with the rude men of the mining camp up above. Yet Sacramento had her dreem, one that she | “scarcely dered to own,” but it came to her often as she went abont her work. She knew that down at Sania Barbara and In the towns along the coast, and tar, far away | across wide stretches of continent to the great | east, there were girls who lived very diferent | from her life, and she dreamed of such a life tor herseif. ‘Oh, if I could only go away from _herel” she cried out, almost as one eries out for help. “If T could enly go down to San Francisco and go ‘Ah, if I only | had 3500. Suddenly there waa a step—not ofa man, but a horse—on the bank behind her, and then some one spoke. She knew the voice without look- ing up. It was Pete Larrabee, a fellow who lived down on Hahnemann’s plantation, two miles along the trail. He sometimes rode by. He had not heard her last words at all: yet strangely enough his own were a repetition of | them. “Five hundred dollars, Sac,” said he, 500 in gold! D'ye want to earn it? Ther’s yer chance,” and he threw down to her a bit of paper crumpled into a ball. She picked it up, and slowly unfolding it, ran her eye over its contents: $500 REWARD. The above amount will be patd for information | leading to the arrest, dead or alive, of Walter Som- | ers, Who has worked for some time past on Max- | wells ranch. Sald Somers ts about 18 years old and 53g feet high, rather good looking, with light, curly hair, blue eyes and a light moustach When last | seen’ he had on a black slouch hat, gray business | suit, with blue flannel shirt, and boots with red tops marked with the maker's name. The name of the county sheriff was signed at the bottom of the bill: Sacramento, having glanced It through, looked up. “He's been a stealin’ horses,” exclaimed Pete. Got off last night with four of Maxwell's best somewheres. That reward won't do much good, though. The Regulators'lt lasso him and string him up long ‘fore the law'll git started. They're havin’ a meetin’ now up at the Gulch. 1 tell ye they are mad. They'll make quick work if they ketch him. Yer father’s there. Ye needn't look for him home afore night, much.” Then, after a word or two more, ‘the man rode on, and presently Sacramento took up her pail, and with the sheriff's bill still in her hand | went slowly up the bank and across the trail toward the house, thinking very seriously about the $500 all the while. It was some hours after this, and the after- noon sun was going down behind the tops‘of the mountains, that Sacramento, having finished her housework, was preparing to sit down on the porch to do her sewing, when she was met in | the doorway by a young man she had never seen | before. And yet he was no stranger. The girl | | knew him instantly, although the slouch nat was pulled down over the flaxen hair and blue eyes, and the gray pants, torn and muddy, had | been drawn out of the’ boot-legs so as to no longer allow the red tops of the boots with the feces "s name to be seen. It was the horse- thief. She did not, however, express any surprise as she saw him. " She was ‘accustomed to the sight | of rough, evil men; and at the first glance she had felt that this one could not be either very wicked or very dangerous. He was not much more than a iad, and had an alr of gentleness | and good breeding about him that six months of | western life, and the miserable plight he was in at that moment, had by no means destroyed. He seemed to be short for breath, too, and was | trembling as if he had been running. Instinetively he raised his hand toward his | hat, and then, bethinking himself, dropped at) sf Could you give me something to eat and drink ?” he asked, ia a hesitating voice. ** Any- | thing will do. I'am yery hungry. I—I have nothing to eat since last night. Come in,” said Sacramento, gravely. In her voice there was neither kindness nor unkind- ness, she trying to realize the situation she was in. ‘Come in and sit down!” Then she went Into the closet near by and | began taking down milk and bread and meat, as she slowly did so turning over the matter In her mind. Here was this man who had been steal- ing horses, and for whose capture $500 was offered, in her own kitchen. Five hundred dol- lars! Exactly the sum she had been wishing for—the sum that would take her down to San Francisco to school and help to make a lady of herself. And this sum may be hers if she could in some way secure this stranger, or somehow keep him in the house until help arrived. Help? Why, she hardly needed help. He was weak and | exhausted, and in the drawer of the kitchen table there wasa loaded revolver, which she | well knew how to use. She came out presently and set the things be- | fore him, bringing also a teapot from the stove | and pouring for him acup of tea. Then she went and sat down by the window and watched | him turtively as he ate. in spite of his caution, he had takenoff his hat while he was eating. She could better see what he was like. ft was an almost boyish face, worn but not wicked, with the curling hair ying in damp clusters upon his pale brow. the hands, small and well shaped, and in all his | motions and manner, she felt that she could read something of his ste She had heard be- fore this how young lads in the east, filled with | romantic notions about western life and ad- venture, sometimes left their luxurious homes and found their way out to the ranclies of the Pacitic. Perhaps he was one of these. As she looked at him, fancying all this, and reali: probable dark fate that was before him, her heart yearned with true womaniy sympathy; and her feeling found expression before she was able to restrain herself. jh, how could you do it? How could you do it?” she suddenly exclaimed, her voice quite full of what she feit. He looked up at her in wonder; but as hiseyes | met her's he understood her. “I didn’t doit. Upon my honor I did not,” he said. “It was that man Dennis.” Sacramento breathed a great sigh of relief. Horse-stealing was heid in that section to be a crime worse than murder, and she was by no means free from the popular estimate of its grave nature. “Oh, Lam glad of that!” cried she. ‘But. she hesitated, and then went on doubttully. “But, then, how was it? Why did you run away?” zs “It was Dennis’ doings, their laying it to me. He did that to clear himself. And after that ou know as well as I do that there would have beads cate trying to prove myselt innocent. They always hang a horse thief first and then consider his guilt afterwards. I had to run to save my life.” “Do you know that there is’a reward offered for your capture?” “I know that the Regulators are after me,” answered the young fellow, gullenly. “They came pretty near catching me, too, this noon. I Just escaped them and came down the canon by the mountain trail. I have had hard run for ft, and what with no sleep for 24 hours, I am about used up. I teel as though I could not go another step when I saw your house. You—you have been very goed tome. I shall never for- ing the terrible strait he was in, and the | “But what are you going to do now?” Inter- rupted Sacramente. ‘You are not safe here.” “I know it. But I threw them off the track this noon, and I do not think they are within five miles of me. Now, I have had something toeat. I will take to the woods in. Ihope I may get clear away. If I don’t” his voice trembled and tears came Into his eyes, “If I don’t, I shall get a hanging, I su . Oh, what's fool I was not to prefer home to this sort of thing! And yet. I wouldn't care so much, elther, if it wasn't for my father and mother.” And there the poor fellow fairly broke down. “Hark!” Sacramento ex: She haa been crying, too; she could not help it. They both listened. In a moment they heard plainly the sound of horses coming down the The girl turned with instant selt-possea rt jon. “Go inthere! Quick! Quick! There is not 8 moment to lose! Here take your hat!” And handing his hat to him, she half bim acroas the room and into her own little i ‘There were father, Sacramento knew the other two men by sight.

And she meant, If possible, to answer without a lie. “A young chap, about eighteen years of age, and five feet and a half high, rather good look- ing, and with red. p boots on?” replied she. “Yes! yes! That's him!” cried one of the other men. Has he been here 2” “I was only quoting from this handbill,” said Sacramento, taking the paper from the shelf where she had laid it. “Then you hain't seen him at all?” esked her father. “Ihave been right here all day, and nobody has gone by except Pete Larrabee. It was he who gave me the bill. Are you sure that he | e this way, the—the—horsethief?” | 0; but we didn’t know but he might. The chances is that he ts sloped off to the moun- tains, meanin’ to go through Stovepipe pass I git him, though,afore sundown.” t’s sundown now,” observed Sacramento. | 've got him now,” was the senten- tious response. * And we should be too late tor the hangin’ et we sh’d go back. Leastways”— this was added to his companions—* you'd bet- ter come in and have a bite afore you go.” So presently the three men sat down to the supper that the young girl quickly prepared for them. And while they were eating, she herself, at her father’s bidding, went out to tae the saddie off Buene his horse, and give him feed. As she approached the door once more, a few minutes after, she heard words which caused her to stop and listen. “I don't like ter say anything against thet kid o° yourn, neighbor.” one of themen was say- ing, ‘but it hez kinder seemed ter me ail ther whiles’ though she sorter hed some’ at on her mind like. Ye don’t ‘spose she knows anything ‘bout thet young feller, arter all?” Sacramento's father laughed at this as though it was too absurd to be considered. The other, however, was not to be laughed out of his suspicions, “Fur all we know,” persisted he, “she may hey hid him here somewhere on the prem- mysis. 's ea’y enough to see,” returned the pro- prietor of the sald ‘premmysis,” testily. “Where d’ye think she’s hid him? In her bed- room 7” As he sald this, Sacramento, who was now near enough to see into the kitehen, saw her father rise irom his chair and step to’ the door of the room where she had concealed the fugi- tive. Her heart almost stopped beating as she saw him push open the door and enter the room, tollowed by his companion. “We'll make a clus-search of it while we're about it.” she heard him say within. And then she stood there in terribe suspense | upon the porch, expecting every instant to hear the shout that would follow the discovery of the fugitive. But no such shout was heard; and instead of it, a moment later, the two men came out again, her father still laughing at his friend. What could it mean? Hadthe young man been able to conceal himself in the room and so evade their search? That was not possible. Then she thought of the window. Contd he have es- caped from the room by that? The window was So small she could scarcely believe that he could have crept through it. And yet he must have done so. She went hurriedly to the back of the house and then down beyond the horse shegs. No one could be seen, Sie halted a moment under a live oak tree just at the edge of the garden. The evening was very calm and still,and thetwilight shadows were deepening tast. Was it the rust- ling of the wind in the boughs overhead that caught her ear? She listened. “Hist! I am here—in the tree.” The words came In a distinct whisper from dl- rectly above her. = She stood and thought a single moment be- fore replying. Then she said, “You must get away from here at once,” in an eager whisper. | “One of the men suspects something, and they | may at any moment inake a search of the place. Jam going into the house a mjnute. Get down | at once and go through the garden and across the trail toa spring that you will find there. | It’s at the foot of a big cottonwood tree. Stay | right there until I come.” Then she went hurriedly to the house. The three men were still sitting at the table, and Sacramento felt rather than saw that one of | them still regarded her suspiciously as she came in. She-did not speak to them at all, but went directly through the kitchen to her own room, and ina moment more came out, went about her work in the kitchen, and _took’up a pail ap- patently to zo to the spring for water. Ten minutes later, standing in the shadow of the cottonwood, young Somers heard a step, nd. then Sacramento, leading Bueno ull sad- lied aud bridled, appeared. He started for- ward. “Hush!” she said, ‘they may come out at any moment. Listen to what I say Your life de- pends on it. You must ride straight down th® trail for aquarter of a mile. Then, close by a big cottonwood, just like this, you will strike a path to the leit. Bueno will know it, once yon get him in it. It will bring yon out half a mile on, ata corduroy road that crosses the swamp: ‘The end of this corduroy has got out of order and there are some logs laid. Lead Bueno across and then pull the logs away. If you do that it will make trouble for those who follow you. Beyond the swamp isa big plain. Strike stmight across it, having the moon square on your right—the moon will be up by that time— and three hours’ riding will bring you to the new railroad. After that—God help you to get safe away!” Sacramento paused and put out her hand. “Can you remember?” she demanded. J can; but I can never forget—” Never mind that. Here, take this. It is a little money. You will need it. Now mount and ride—siowly a little way, and then for your life The young man still had hold of her hand. The tears came into hiseyes. The next moment he was gone. : The next morning Sacramento told her father the story and coaxed him into forgiving her. | And the following afternoon a ian brought | Bueno oyer from the railroad town; and then | she knew that the fugitive was safe. ix weeks later a lawyer from Senta Barbara | appeared with a letter trom Walter Somers. He Was with his friends in New York. He begged | eramento to accept, as a gift of gratitude, at | least the amount of the reward that had been | offered. And ‘so it was that she went down to San | Francisco to school that winter, after all. Saaame Something Wrong Somewhere, From the Carson Appeal, Sam Jones, ot Gold Hill, Nev., has a doméstic in his house who is acountrywoman of Sullivan. The other morning he and Evau Williams were eating breakfast, when, by a preconcerted agreement, they began a dialogue something like this, Sam leading off: “Carious, ain't it, that Sullivan took water from that Dutchman?” “Yes, indeed; I was quite astonished. He seemed perfectly cowed.” “Well, I don’t blame him. Hans is a bigman, and strong as a bull, and I guess he can lick any two men in the world, John included.” “Phat’s that, Mister Jones?” broke in the do- estic, who had been hovering about the table; Dutchman lick John Sullivan! Are yez crazy or dreaming, Mister Jones “It's a fact,” said Williams. ‘Hans Meyer, foreman of the No.2 crosscut, Crown.
