THE SEVENTH DAUCHTER. “‘The seventh daughter of a seventh daughtet! Stop aminute, pretty lady, such a fortune as you never dreamed of! There’s a letter coming from for- eign parts, and a bag of golden coins, and a brave, bright weading-ring in store for you, my pretty.” Alico Fairlands paused, half in ter- ror, half in a sort of fascination, at the rude stile in the woods, where the erect figure of tho woman stood, with | its scarlet cloak, its nut-brown face, and the wild, gray hair blown about at | the capricious will of the winds. “You are an impostor!” said she | dare you attempt to impose upon my credulity?” 4 *An impostor,” repeated tho fortune teller, jerking the hood still farther over her face. “Do you call ma an impostor? 1, that can read the socrets of the stars, and trace out your des- tiny in the lines upon your palm{” And catching Alice’s hand she bent s0 low over its pink palm that the gray coarse hair touched the girl's wrist, *‘A long life and riches!” she said. “Once wedded and happily wedded, and death coming sudden at the last! Well-a-day, well-a-day, it will be bet- ter so! And, if you don’t believe mo, listen and hear what I see: T see a tall young man with flaxen hair and dark eyes, who wears a Scottish plaid across the shoulder. You love him with an L and he loves you with an A! Aha, my pretty lady, that brings the roses to your bonny cheek, Am T an impostor now " Alice looked at the strange, out- landishly clad creature with a thrill of something not unlike terror, How did she know. Where had she gican- od these facts! For facts they were— facts that brought the flush to the very roots of her hair. As she stood looking the sun dropped down, a disk of gold, behind the woods, and the chill breeze shook the folds of the scarlet cloak. The Seventh Daughter shuddered involuntarily. “I am cold,” she said. hungry. You people here are unim- aginativ They n{nn't believe in my erious Crystal, and they won't have their fortunes told. Look! this money is all that T have collected all day!” She scornfully jingled the few silver coins in her hand. “I slept last night under a hay rick,” said she. *‘But the star light was chill and the wind made me shiver, Couldn’t I go home with you ? Any attic hole or unused chamber would do for me I” Alice Fairlands started a little at the proposition. But after all what was there so unnatural in it? And why should she refuse shelter to the poor old crone ! “Yes,” said she. “Come home with me. Tt is only a little farm house on the edge of the swamp; but, after all, that is better than fthe hay rick ! The woman eyed her alittle sus- iciously, ““Who lives there ?” said she. “I and my brother. T keep house for him. He is the village doctor,” Alige answered. “But if you can penetrate the past and future so keen- ly, why do you ask these questicns ?” she added, quickly. The woman laughed. ““T have a fancy to test your truth,” said she. ‘“‘Yes, yes, you have an- swered correctly, Come, let us make haste; the air grows damp and chill.” It was a little cottage, with the bowery droop of elm branches above it, and a row of cinnamon-rose bushes under the window, all crimsoned over with their June blossoming. The little servant had kindled the fire ready for tea, and summer twilight though it was, the ruddy warmth was not unacceptable. The Seventh Daughter sat down before the blaze with a sigh of gratification, andspread her hands above the coral shrine. Uponthe floor there was a neatly woven rag-carpet, and the windows were curtained with snow-white muslin, edged with knitted lace, Books were arranged on a home-made case of pine wood, stained to imitate mahogany, and a neat little wood- table stood near the window, while, in the middle of the room the table was set for tea, with cold meat, snow- white home-made bread and stewed rhubarb. And even while the eager eyes of the Seventh Daughter took in these details, the door opened and Dr, Fairlands himself came in—a tall, middle aged man, with pleasant gray eyes, a silken beurd and an aquiline nose. ‘‘Eh?” said he, glancing around. “Company? Who is this, Alice?” ‘“The seventh daughter of a sev- enth daughter, at your service, sir,” said the stranger, rising up and cour- tesying, net ungracefully, *‘Shall I read the book of the future for you, sir?” Dr, Fairlands looked keenly at her, Becky, the little servant, stood glued to the kitchen floor, with & plate of honey in her hand, staring at the weird apparition, and Alce, under pretense of helping her brother off with his light gray overcoat, whisper- ed to him: “‘A poor fortune-teller, houseless and homeless. T brought her here to giveher a night's shelter. Was 1 wrong?”’ He shook lus head. “Sit down, good woman,” said he curtly, ““The [u‘uhl'ht is all with which you and I have to do. And take off that gyp syish hood and cloak.” ““I never take it off,” said +he for- tune teller, indifferently, “Then suppose we make this the first time,” said the doctor—and, with a quick motion. of the hand he swept aside the fadedfolds of the scar- lot cloth, dragging with them a wig of coarse, gray hair, which left the Seventh Daughter revealed —a girl of eighteen or twenty, with lovely braids of glossy jet black hair, a complexion as clear as ivory, where the brown stain had not obscured its purity, and a pair of startled brown ey She stood “quite silent, with the crimson tlush glowing through the brown dye, and her rose-lips apart, Alice Far- lands had uttered a little ery. The doctor stood shrewdly looking™ at the scene, *‘Ah," said he, “‘private theatricals, “And T am “No!” eried the woman, in a sud- at a wild boast, but what was one to do?

Stay at all events until you have decided what else to do. There is room for us all here.” 8o Juliet Markham remained at ihe little cottage, washed the brown stain off her round dimpled cheeks, threw the gray wig into the swamp, and at Alice's suggestion entered an appli- cation for the post of teacher in the district school, And, wonderful to relate, she suc ceeded in obtaining it. “But tell me,” Alice whispered shyly to her that first evening, *‘how you knew about Lionel, if you really are not the seventh duughter of the sevonth daughter?”” * “Does it seem so much like en chantments?” said Juliet with the melancholy smile which seemed to illuminate her face like the sad glory of moonlight. ‘‘But all these mys- teries are generally susceptible of ex planation if only one has a little pa tience.

But at the end of three months she came home one afternoon from school with a troubled face and the traces of tears on her eyelashos. “Alice,” said she, “I must leav you! tonished girl. ‘“But why(” Jubet turned her flushed face away. “The cottage is small,” said she, evasively. ““And I feel that I have no right to usurp the place of others!” “Others, Juliet!” repeated puzzled Alice. “You are talking in riddles! What can you possibly mean?” “Must I say it out in so many words!" said Juliet, as if resolutely forcing herselt to speak. *“Well, then, the school trustees were talkingamong themselves to-day atthe monthly ex- amination. They mentioned, as a fact, that Dr. Fairlands was contem- plating marriage! Alice, Alice, tell me the truth. TIs it so?” But before Alice could gain her breath to answer, Dr. Fairlands him- self had come quietly in from the ad- joining surgery where he had bheen compounding some medicine, and stood before the Seventh Daughter.? “Yes,” he said calmly, “it is the truth. He 18 contemplating marringe But isn’t quite certain about it, until he has asked the lady of his love to consent. How is it, Juliet? Will you be my wife?” ““I!" she cried, covering her cyes with both hands. “I! You asked me this question?” “‘You, Julhet, because it is you only for whose heart of gold I care. Once more T ask it, sweet Juliet—will you be mine?” “‘Yes!” she cried out, passionately; ‘‘yes! For T love you better than all the world!” It was a strange, unique sort of wooing—but Anson Fairlands and Juliet Markham were not cxactly conventional people. And as they were very happy, perhaps that was all that was necessary, DOWN IN THE OPHIR MINE How Bob Ingersoll Came Within Axn Ace of Being Con= verted. When Col. Robert Ingersoll was in Virginia City, about four years ago, a couple of reporters, one of whom is now on The San Francisco Chronicle, conceived the ides of giving the nfidel a hotter experience than he had, up to that time, admitted the vilest sin- ner would ever undergo, even after laboring under the disadvantago of not being alive, The foreman of the Ophir mine was led into the secret of the scheme, and, being a good Chris tian, at once saw the practical utility of the plot. Tt was elected to descend the Ophir for the reason that the quality of whisky then kept in the Ophir visitors' dressing-rooms was superior to that of any other north- end mine. The Justice mine roally had a finer brand of liquor, but the ne was down in the lower cnd of Gold Hill, and as the descent was to be made after the Colonel had deliv- ered his lecture one evening, it would be incouvenient to visit a mine ver far from the Tnternational Hotel, where the Colonel and his family— wife and two daughters — were lodged, The matter of whisky is, unlappily, one of great consideration in a visit to a mine, for the reason that the ef- fect of a descent upon a stranger is a strange weakness, which it is neces- sary to overcome upon reaching the surface with stimulants, or a day's sickness is the inevitable consequence. After the lecture tne reporters call- ed at the hotel and escorted the colo- nel and his family to the Ophir works, Ingersoll was in” lively spirits. He had lectured to alarge crowded house; he had just received news that he had been violently abused by San Fran- ) theologians, and was about to :x{mriunru a novel sensation, —and a e den frenzy of passion and rage. ‘‘Btar- vation ! Necessity ! Want ! You stare at me, all of you, as you might stare ightful one, too, tho reporters as- sured him, and in reply to some hints that some portions u* the mine might be a little warm, replied: *‘Bring it “‘Leave us, dearest!” echoed the as- | 1nu:l am not afraid ot any natural heat, here or hereafter. Trot on your | lowest levels,” The ladies were takon in charge at the old hoisting works by the wife of the colored office porter, and supplied with miners’ clothes in Ithe ladies' dressing-room. The men | | rigged themselves out likewise in blue | flannel shirts and pantaloons and hob. naled shoes. The entire party were [ given long oileloth conts to wear going Jdown on the cage as the vertical shaft was wet, the dripping water pouring [down on the visitors like rain. ‘Al | sot,” cried the foreman, and the sev- | en persons packed in the cage were dropped down to_the 1,415-foot level at an uncomfortable rate to the visit ors making the first descent. “‘Take | off your coats here,” said the fore- man, as they stepped out on the iron floor of the s | a crowd of car boys and miners. The ladios domurred, {»ut the colonel be ing assured that it was the customary | thing, that the ladies would be too warm with and greatly inconvenienced by the coats, he encouraged them. “Why, certainly, girls, take off your coats. Everybody takes them off down here. That's all right, wife, tell the girls to take their coats off; there's nothing to be afraid of,” andthe young Iadies shyly emerged from their conts, looking picturesque in their rough blue miners’ suits. Nothing was ever seen lke the spirits of the Colonel ~ He danced n double shuflle on the iron switch plates to the delight of the miners, and scared the ladies with stories of gnomeus and spirits, *‘Call this hot, eh?” he laughed to the foreman; “‘oh, show me something warm, can’t you! Tl freeze here,” The foreman wink- ed solemnly te the reporters and re- {vliml: “Well, we ain't got no very hot drafts here now,but come this way T'll give you something a littlo warm- er than this.” Then all branched off from the crosscut a little east of the station and walked north toward the face of a drift being run toward the Union ground. The aie changed in- | stantly as they turned north. It was warmer; it Kept getting warmer as they proceeded. 1t got hot. The foreman led. rsoll followed, af- ter him the and in the rear came the veporters, *It is cool along here,” remarked the foreman, “but it is a little warmer in the face of the drift.”” Ingersoll was pufling lake porpoise, but he still seemed cheerful, “Come on, girls; this don't mmount to much. Talk about your hot mines; don't see where they come in.” When it becamo so hot that breathing stung the lips and nostrils the reportors sug- gested to the ladies, without attract- | ing the Colonel's attention, that they had better not go any further. Ingersoll pluckily plodded on, car- rying his candle aslant and peering a little anxiously ahead until they met a miner with his head down rushing out of the drift. “Where did you come from, my man?” asked Ingersoll, as the miner passed him. *‘Come trom the face of the drift, old son,” replied the miner, without stopping. Something m the manner of the man interosted Ingersoll, for he yelled af- ter him: ““And where are you going?”’ “Going to h -1 to cool off,” replied the miner, who evidently did not dis- tinguish the ladies in their miners’ costumes.

The foreman gave the bell rope three slow pulls. ‘“What does that mean?” saia the Colonel, ““That is the signal to hoist,” “Well, my friend,” gasped the Colonel, ““if you get us to the sur- face uncooked 1" will write you an obituary that would make anangel turn green with envy, when I get to Chicago,” and he sank buck in a dark corner of the girafl, pale, exhausted, and subdued.
