Corner 16th and Capitol Avenue, Qmeb LEFT 0UT ON LONE STAR MOUNTAIN BY BRET HARTE, [Continued. ] Tho restraint and evideut uneasiness of his companiona had at last touched him. He turned his frank young eyes upon them; they glanced helplessly tt oach othor. Yet his first concern was for thom —his first instinct paternal and pro- tecting. Ho ran his eyes quickly ovor them; they were all there, and apparent- ly in their usual condition. ‘‘Any- thing wrong with the claim{™ he suggest- po d, Without looking at him the Right Bower rose, leaned against the open door with his hands behind him and his face toward the landscape, and said, apparent- ly to the distant prospect: *‘The claim's played out-—the partnership's played out and the sooner we skedaddle out of this the better. If,” he added, turning to the Old Man, “if you want to stay—if you want to do Chinaman's work at Chinaman’s wages—if you want to hang on to the oharity of thotradersat the Cros: sing—you can do it, and enjoy the pro- apects and the Noah’s doves alone. But we're calculatin’ to step out of it.” “But 1 haven't said I wanted to do it alone,” protested the Old Man with a gosture of bewilderment. “If these are your general ideas of the partnership,” continued the Right Bower, clinging to the established hypothesis of the other partners for support, ‘it ain't ours, and the only way we can prove it is to stop the foolishness right here. We caleulated to dissolve the partnership and strike out forourselves elsewhere. You're no longer responsible for us, nor we for you. And we reckon it's the square thing to leave you the claim and the cabin, and all it contains, To prevent any trouble with the traders, we've drawn up a paper here—" **With a bonus of 850,000 each down, and the rest to be settled on my chil- dren,” interrupted the Old Man, with a half uneasy laugh. “‘Of course. But—" He stopped suddenly, the blood dropped from his fresh cheek, and he again glanced quickly round the group. *I don’t think I—I quite sabe, boys,” he added, with a slight tremor of voice and lip. “Ifit's a conundrum, ask me an easier one,” Any lingering doubt he might have had of their meaning was dispelled by the Judge. *‘It’s about the softest thing you kin drop into, Old Man,” he said confi- dentially; *‘if 1 hadn't promised the other boys to go with them, and if 1 didn’t need the best medical advice in Sacramento for my lungs, I'd just enjoy staying with you.” It gives a sorter freedom to a young fellow like you, O1d Man—like goin’ into the world on yourown capital —thatevery Californian boy hasn't got,” said Unien Mills patronizingly. “Of course, it's rather hard papers on us, you know, givin’ up everything, goto speak; but it's for your good, and we ain't goin’ back on you,” said the Left Bower, ‘‘are we, boys{” The color had returned to the Old Man's face a little more quickly and freely than usual. He picked up the hat he had cast down, put it on carefully over his brown curls, drew the flap down on the side toward his companions, and put his hands in his pockets. “All right,” he said, in a alightly altered voice. = *‘When do you go?”’ “T'o-aay,” answered the Left Bower. ““We calculate to take a_moonlight pasear over to the Cross Roads and meet the down stage at about 12 to- night. There's plenty of time yet,” he added with a slight laugh; “‘it's only 3 o'clock now.” ““There was a dead silence. Even the the rain withheld its continuous patter, a dumb, gray film covered the ashes of the hushed hearth. For the first time the Right Bower exhibited some slight em- barrassment. “I reckon it's held up for a spell,” he said, ostentatiously examining the weath- er, “and we might as well take a run around the claim to see if we've forgot- ten nothing. Of course, we'll be back again,” he added hastily, without looking at the Old Man, ‘‘before we go, yow know."” The others began to look for their hats, but so awkwardly and with such evident preoccupation of mind that it was not at first aiscovered that the Judge had his hat already on. This raised a laugh, as did also a clumsy stumble of Union Mills against the , ork barrel, although that gentleman took refuge from his confusion and secured a decent retreat by a gross exaggerationof his lameness,as he limped after the Right Bower. The Judgewhis- tled feebly. The Right Bower, in & more ambitious effort to impart a certain aye- ty to his exit, stopped on the threshold and gaid, as if in arch confidence to his companions: “Darned if the Old Man don’t look two inches higher sincé he be- came proprietor,” laughed patronizingly. and vanished. If the newly-made proprietor had in- creased. in tadare, he had not othorwiss changed his demeanor. He remained i the same attitude until the last figure dis- appeared behind the fringe of buckeye that hid the distant highway. Then he walked slowly to the fireplace, and, lean- ing against the chimney,kicked the dying embers together with his foot. Some- thing dropped and spattered in the flim of hot ashes. Surely the rain had not ceasod! His high color had already fled, except for a epot on either cheek bone that lent a brightness to his eyes. He glanced around the cabin. It looked familiar and trange. Rather, it looked strange use atill familiar, and therefore in- congruous, with the new atmosphere that surrounded it - discordant with the echo of their last meeting end painfully ac- centing the change, There were the four bunks, or sleeping berths, of his compan- ions, each still bearing some traces of the individuality of its fiu occupaut with a dumb loyalty that seemed to make their liuht-hufia’g defection monstrows, In the dead ashes of the Judge's pipe scat- tered on his shelf still lived his old dire; in the whittled and carved edges of the Left Bower's bunk still were the memo- ries of bygone days of delicious indolence; in the bullet holes clustered round a knot | B of one of the beams there was s the record of the Right Bower’s old-time skill and priwctice; in the few engravings of fe- male loveliness stuck uopn each head- board there were the proofs of their old extravagant devotion—all a mute protest to the change. He remembered how, a fatherless, truant schoolboy, he had drifted into their adventurous nomadic life—itseli a life of grown-up truancy like his own—and be- came one of that gypey family. How they had taken the place of relations and household in his boyish fancy—filling it with the unsubstantial pageantry of a child’s play at grown-up existence—he knew only too well. But how, from be- mg a pet and protege, ho had gradually and unconsciously asserted his own in- dividually and taken upon his younger shoulders not onlz a poet's keen appreci- «of that life but its actual responsi- ies and half childish burdens he never suspocted. Ho had fondly believed that ho was & neophyte in their ways—a novice in their charming faith and indolent creed—and they had encouraged it; now their renunciation of that faith could only be an excuse for a renunciation of him. Tho pootry that had for two years invest- ed the material and sometimes even mean dotails of their existence was too much a part of himself to bo lightly dispolled. The lesson of those ingenious moralista failod, as such lessons are apt to fail; their discipline provoked but did not sub due; a rising indignation, stirred by a sonse of injury, mounted to his check and eyes. {( was slow to come, but was none the less violent that it had been preceded by the benumbingshock of shame and pride. : 1 hope T shall not prejudice the read- or's aympathies if my duty as a simple chroniclor compels me to state, there fore, that the sober second thought of this gentle poet was to burn down the cabin on the spot, with all its contents. This yielded to a milder counsel--wait- ing for the return of the narty, chal longing the Right Bower, a duel to the death, perhaps himself the vietim, with the crushing explanation in extremis It seoms weo are one too many. No mattor; it is settled now. Farewell I" Dimly remembering, however, that thero was something of this in the last well worn novel they had read together, and that his antagonist might recognize it, or even worse, anticipate it himself, the idea was quickly rojected. Besides, tho opportunity for an apotheosis of solf- sacrifico was past. Nothing remained now but to rofuse the proffered bribe of claim and cabin by letter, for he must not wait their return. He tore a leaf from a blotted diary, begun and abandoned long since, and essayed to write. Scrawl after scrawl was torn upuntil his fury had cooled down to a frigid third personality. “Mr. John Ford regrets to inform his late partners that their tender of house of farmtur however, seemed too incon- sistent h the pork-barrel table he was writing on; a more eloquent renunciation of their offer became frivolous and_idio- tic from a carricature of Union Mills, label and all, that appeared suddenly on the other side of the leaf, and when he at last indited a satisfactory and impus- sioned exposition of his foelings the legi- ble addenda of *Oh, ain’t you glad you're out of the wilderness!” the forgotten first line of a popular song, which no scratch- ing would erase, seemed too like an ironi- cal postecript to be thought of for a moment. He threw aside his pen and cast the discordant record of past fool- ish pastime into the dead ashes of the hearth. How quiet it was. With the cessation of the rain the wind, too, had gone down, and scarcely a breath of air came through the open door. He walked to the threshold and gazed on the hushed prespect. In this listless attitude he was fainly con- scious of a distant reverberation, a mere phantom of sound—perhaps the explo- sion of a distant blast in the hills—that left the silence more marked and oppres- sive . As he turned again into the cabin a chang. seemed to have come over it. It already looked old and decayed. The loneliness of years of desertion seemed to have taken possession of it; the atmo- sphere of dry rot was in the beams and rafters. To his excited fancy the few disordered blankets and articles of cloth- ing seemed dropping to pieces; in one of the bunks there was a hideous resem- blance in the longitudinal heap of cloth- ing to a withered and mummied corpse. So it might look in after years when some passingstranger—but he stopped. A dread of the place was beginning to creep over him; a Jmmi of the days to come, when the monotonous sunshine should lay bare the loneliness of these walls; the long day of endless blue and _cloudless overhanging solitude; summer days when the wearying, incessant !rade winds should sing around that emyty shell and voice its desolation, He gathered togeth- er hastily a fow articles that were especi- ally his own-rather that the free commun- ion of the camp from indifference or acci- dent, had left wholly to him. He hesi- tated for a moment over his rifle, but, scrupulous in his wounded pride, turned away and left the familiar weapon that in the dark days had so often provided the dinner or breakfast of the little household. Candor compels me to state that this equipment was not large nor eminently practical. His scant pack was a light weight for even his young should- ers, but I fear he thought more of getting away from the past than providing for the future. With this vague but sole purpose he left the cabin, and almost mechanically turned his steps toward the creek he had crossed that wnorming. He knew that by this route he would avoid meeting his companions; its difficulties and circuit- ousness would evercise his feverish limbs and give him time for reflection, He had determined to leave the claim, but whence he had not considered. He reached the creek where he had stood two hours before; it seemed to him two years. He looked curiously at his reflec- tion in one of the broad peols of over- flow, and fancied he looked older. He watched the rush and outset of the tur- bed current hurrying to meet the South Fork,and to eventually loose itself in the yellow Sacramenta. Even in his preoccu- pation he was impressed with l&ikeneu to himself and its companons in thisflood that had burst its peacetul boundaries. In the drifting fragments of one of their forgotten flumes washed from the bank he fancied he saw an omen of the disin- tegration and decay of the Lone Star claim, The strange hush in the air that he had notioed before—a calm so inconsis- tent with that hour and the season as to séem portentious—became more marked in ocontrast to the feverish rush of the turbulent watercomse. A foew clouds lazily huddled in the west apparently |&' had gone to rest with the sun on beds of somnolent poppies. There was a gleam a8 of golden water everywhere along the horizon, washing out the cold snow peaks, and drowning even the rising moon, The creek eaught it here and there, until, in %fim irony, it seemed to bear tneir bro- en sluice boxes and useless engines on toe very Pactolian stream they had been hopefully ocreated to direct and carry. ut by some ‘pwulinr trick of the atmos- phere the perfect plenitude of that gold- en sunset glory was lavished on the rug- ed side sand Eur mountain, That isolated peak—the landmark of their claim,the gaunt monu- ment of their folly, transfigured in the evening lrlendor. kept its radiance un- uenced long after the glow had fallen rom the encompassing skies, and when at last the rising moou, step by step, put out the firesalong the winding valley and plains, and crept up the rocky sides of the canyon, the vanishing sunset was lost only to reappear as a golden crown. The eyes of the young man were fixed upon it with more than a momen pic- turesque interest. It had been the favor ite ground of his prospecting exploits; ita lowest flank had been scarred in the old enthusiastic du‘r with hydraulic engines, or pierced with shafts, but the central sition in the claim, and its superior height, bad always given it a command- ing view of the extent ofitheir valley and its approaches, and it was this praoti pre-eminence that alone attracted that moment. He knew that from its crest he would be able to distinguish the figures of his companions as they crossed the valley near the cabin in the growing moonlight. Thus he could avoid encoun- tering them on his way to the high road and yet seo them, perhaps, for the last time.” Even in his sense of injury there was a strange satisfaction in the thought. The wscent waa toilsome, but familiar. All along the dim trail he was accompa- nied by gentlor memories of the past, that secmed like the faint odor of spiced leaves and fragrant grasses wet with the rain and crushed beneath his ascending tread, to exhalo the sweeter perfume in his effort to subdue or rise above them. There was the thicket of manzanita, where they had brokev noonday bread together, here was the rock beside their maiden shaft, where they had poured a wild libation in boyish enthusiasm of success; and here the ledge where their first flag—a red shirt heroically sacrificed was displayed ‘from a long-handled shovel to the gaze of admirers below. When he at last reached the summit the mysterious hush was still in tho air, as if in breathless sympathy with his expe tion. In tho west the plain was faintly illuminated, but disclosed no moving fig- ures, He turned toward the rising moon, and moved slowly to the eastern cdge, Suddenly Le stopped. Another step would have been his last! e stood upon the crumbling edge of a precipice. A landalip had taken place on the castern tlank, leaving the gaunt ribs and fleshless bones of Lone Star Mountain bare in the led ereat of the Lone | da; moonlight. Ho understood now the strange rumblo and reverberation he had heard; he understood now the strange hush of bird and beast in brake and thicket! [0 1% CONTINEUD,] oot Wel do Moyer.

Remarkable Scenes in the Salvation Army Barracks, N. Y PRAYING ‘‘Oh, help this miserable reporter. He is one of those wretched sinners who work upon the papers. o has the devil in his heart, and there is & wart upon his heart.” It was in thisjromarkable strain, says . The Philadelphia Pross, that a liou- tenant in the Salvation Army Barracks, at Fifth and Berks streots, prayed for a Press reporter, present in the audience. The scene was the usual one to be wit- nessed in the meetinss called by the Sal- vationists themselves a ‘‘free and easy.” Thirty or forty privates of the platform facing the audience. The women thumped their tambourines with a lively jingle, and the men carried on their re- ligious antics in a highly boisterous style, while several of their number beat vigor- ously upon big, noisy drums, and the captain and his lieutenauts pranced about on the platform in a feverish atyle. After the reporter had been in the building about half an hour one of the lieutenants approached him at his seat on the front rowand asked in dramatic tones: ‘“‘Young man, are you savedf” “I don't know for sure, are you!" was the reply. ‘‘Yes, of course I am,” ex- claimed the lieutenant. **‘Won't you ac- cept of salvation? 1 haveit here for you. Come, kneel down and pray with me.” But the reporter said he did not believe in emotional religion, and begged to be excused. ‘‘What are you here for,then? Why did you come up to the front seat!” And then, seeing a pencil in the repor- ter's hand, who up to this time had not told his business, and a roll of paper pro- truding from his pocket, the Salvationist exclaimed: ‘‘Ah, I see; you are a repor- ter. You work for the venal, selfish pa- pers; you are in the service of the Evil One. Oh, leave him and join us.” But the visitor was not yet persuaded, and the salvationist then went on again: ““Young man, are you a Christian?” The reporter said he hoped he was. “‘Young man, you are false to the be- lief which you claim to profess,” and, so saying, he bobbed up from his seat, and, kueeling down on the floor, stopped the exercises which were going on on the plaiform by beginning to pray for the re- porter as follows: *‘We have a reporter here—a miserable reporter—a sinful servant of unholy newspapers—a good usuung man gono wrong, Satan has made him obstinate, and will not yield to persuasion and be saved, Oh, help the wicked reporter! The eevil holds the fort in this reporter’s brain. He's going to h—, Halleujah! Oh, may he join the Salvation Army, oh! Give him repentance. He is a type of all reporters, and they are all a wicked lot.” The lieutenant stopped, to give the reporter a chance to Lnoul down, The men and women soldiers shouted: ‘‘Save the roporter!” “Help the poor reporter!” *‘Down with the devil!"” *I was wicked onoe,but now I am pure!” The lieutenant then began: *‘Oh, kill this ueporter. Take him away that he may do evil no more. He is too obstinate to yield, He knows he ought to, but he is proud—all reporters are. Oh, strike thi'n rt:.;lorter down; he is the devil in dis salvationist took up the prayer. A woman was the last to en- deavor to induce the wicked reporter to repent, and then the entire regiment of the army began to sing for the reporter, during which he left. “Wh Can’¢ be Our Endured.” This old adago does not signify that we must suffer the miseries of dyspopsia, when a medi- cine with the curative properties of Burdock Bluod Bitters in available, 1t is one of the mout substantial and reliable remedies sold to- 5. , Must be e A CORNER ON ICE., How the Various Kinds of Sufferers Bear It From the Detroit Free Prese.

His firat thought was that somebody whs colebrating Fourth of July; his next was to scramblo up and search for an asylum where he could hunt up his collar button and splice his suspenders, Not a word oscaped him until ho was a block away. Then he romarked: ““At G per cent it would be $8564.17.” The next man was a strapping big fel- low with an ulster on and a big red silk handkerchief hanging out of a pocket. He began a sort of shuffle as he struck the spot, increased it in a minute to a peculiar *‘break down,” and finally went down with a whoop that was heard half a block away. He was up in a moment, Diagonally ncross the street he saw a man in an express wagon. The boys called to him that he had lost his red handker- chiof, and that his nose would sadly miss it, but he would not wait. He strode across the strect and up to the wagon, and as he hauled off and hit the driver a stinger on the ear, he growled out *“Phere, hang you! That makes us even!" ““What even?" shouted the victim, as he rose up and adjusted his cap, but the other was gone, - —— RESCUED FROY William JJ.
