The half-dozen houses I have tried to des­cribe stand near enough together for tlie Labradorian matrons to call to each other from the hack door when they hear any th ing new. They seldom ex change such calls, however.

A MILLIONAIRE.

T w en ty years ago, a young man camo here in a fish ing vessel from one o f our New England states—him se lf a com ­mon fisherman. Leaving the vessel, he g radua lly worked his way upw ard, u n til today, M r. B lank ly has an establishment wh ich in c lud ing lis li Hakes, sheds, seines boats, tackle, etc., is w orth nt least tw enty thousand dollars— a sm all amount in the Eastern states, but in Labrador m ail possessing such means, is compara­tive ly speaking, a m illio na ire . He lives in a f/co-story house, distinguished more over from its hum bler neighbors, in be­ing clapboarded, having a shingled roof, and n piazza.

The fishery is carried on in th is wise. The season is supposed to begin some­where about the m iddle o f June. M r. B lank ly owns about fo rty boats, each being schooner rigged, about tw enty e ight feel in length, sharp at both ends. Each boat carries tw o men, and a "gan g ,” technically speaking, consists o f four boats w ith th e ir crews. Tho men themselves are boarded at a rough shanty whore they feed snm ptously on the ir re­tu rn from the ir day's fish ing (at 7 or 8 p. i ll.) on boiled salt pork, "ha rd -ta ck ,” possibly fish, w ith soft bread and butter every week. Breakfast and d inner, of the same, aro taken on the fishing grounds, the lire for cooking purposes being b u ilt on thcba llnst rock am id-siiip . The men come m ostly from NewFouud- land. E very “ gang” receives from fif­teen to eighteen cents per qu in ta l o f fish, after the ir entire f it t in g out.

“ A good saison’s w o rk , lad?"answered one o f the men in reply to m y enqu iry ; "aye, but i t ’s that long sence we've 'ad a good saison. i t ’ud be ’ard to ll in ’, but n ig h ’s I can ligge r I ’ ll carry ’onio a ’most tw en ty-tw o pouu’ the saison.”

And as a "pou nd ” in Labrador par­lance is equ iva lent to about §1 in our own currency, I could not help th in k in g that o r thereabouts was a rather sm all sum for three m ouths' continuous labor th rough ra in and shine. Especially when one takes in to consideration thu fact that, after the return o f these men to northern N ewfoundland, they are p rac tica lly id le u n til the fo llow ing fish­ing season,hauling spruce wood, or hun t­ing hares and ptarm igan, being their on ly w in te r occupation, and t ills only when the b itte r cold w ill adm it.

You nover were in Labrador? No? W ell, unless you have very urgent rea­sons fo r repa iring th ither, I wou ld ad­vise you not to go.

Fact. And the loro land a Labradorian has, the poorer s is. In fact, the land is m ostly ledge. B u t ns I was saying: Tho houses

TROFTING.

But, the trou t that we caught from the babbling brooks, and the salmon we bought— twenty cents for a six-pounder just taken from the nets! W illi all ou t­f it costing in a ll(rod in c lude d jllio sum of $ l.7o , I captured from a brook about three feet wide, lifty -tw o trou t il l about tw o hours. True, they wero not a ll pound trou t, though quite a num ber would, I think, weigh a pound w ithout any scales. And not being an expert at th ro w in g the gaudy fly , I eannot boast o t any very scientific d isplay o f piscat­o r ia l s k il l. But when it comes to yank­ing leu-inch trou t out of a yard-w ide

brook w ith a live-eent line and a one-eent hook baited w ith a b it o f raw and quite antiquated m utton from tlie remnants o f the sheep hanging on the Polar Star's bilge-pum p handle. I am there every tim e. O f course. I was revih-d by those on board who bad brought w ith them an assortment o f flies and other appur­tenances thereunto appertaniing that cost considerably more than m y m onth ly sal­ary. but I noticed that the ir appetite for fried trou t was un lim ited on the fo llo w in g m orning. I also noticed that these friends o f m ine sallied fo rth shortly after break­fast, w ith an entire fit-ou t o f fishing- gear, in c lud ing some salmon flies and one or tw o spare tips, and about I p. m. ol the same day te tu rn rd , using such emphatic language regarding black flies mosquito;**, ami the insensib ility of the average Labrador brook trou t to the charms o f the latest th ing in flies, as to quite shock me. But I have to confess that a few days afterw ard , they brought in a s tring o f tro u t from a cer­tain sm all r iver, wh ich I hnd fished in vain w ith m y vaunted bait, tlie sum total o f whose weight far exceeded my entire catch throughout tlie cruise. There is not a pond or stream in Labra­dor, as far as le a n learn, where tro u t may not lie readily caught. You may or may not ca ll th is a li-h s to ry— a ll tlie same, i t is true . I hnd been out after curlew one m orn ing, w ith m y usual success. On thu homebound tram p I met a youth hung, about, as it were, w ith the toothsomo b ird I had sought in vnin. In the course o f a— a— bargain between the youth and m yse lf tho par­ticu lars o f wh ich I need not g ive away (w e had cu rlew for d inner that day and I was h ig h ly com plim ented as a put- hunter) I noticed that lie had w ith his game tlireo large trou t, one w e igh ing nearly two pounds. Further enqu iry and the g if t o f tobacco revealed tlie fact that in a certain narrow but deep stream known to this piscatorial fiend, the wary trou t fled, a t his approach, beneath some sheltering bank.

“ A n ’ then a ll ye’ ve to do is to shove yer ’and under an’ catch 'old o f ’ im nigh the g ills ,” was the concluding advice. B u t I never tried it, I fancy a stranger must linvo to get considerably well acclimated before he can a rrive at such a fine point in the p iscatoria l art.

GAME BIRDS.There is in Labrador a game bird

known as the pu llin . 1 say a game bird w ith special reference to am ateurs, o f whom I am one.

The uncalled for and m alicious assertion to the efl'ect tha t becoming somewhat agitated at my winged surroundings, I w ild ly shouted "Shoo!

Bat they aro a ra ther nice tasting b ird — be­ing a sort o f cross between n parrot and sp ring chicken, and n fte r a day’s par­bo iling may lie made in to a very nice stow— provided the ke ttle conta in ing the lisenchanfrised members lie kept on (lie

A M i d n i g h t M a luu a g e . - - In plot and dialogue, the play is a strong one. Mr. Red- iniiud, as the dashing Count dc Luuglit. has found a character admirably adapted to bis high ability, ami evidently suited to hi* taste. Mrs. Thomas Barry us Hoi tense de Guise plays the part with characteristic fervor and intelligence; ami who ever saw l i t i s talented lady undertake any part in which she did not excel? The two characters assumed by these artists are the central ligures of the drama, and so closely do they hold the interest of ihe spectator that ihe supporting pai ls appear but as means to an end. Tiie various characters were well sustained. 1 lie costumes were as rich ami elegant as any ever presented here, ami udded much to the eil'cet of the presen­tation. We think we but express the opinion of all eompeteut judge* who were present, in saying that ihe pcHurmame was equal in solid dramatic merit to any that lias been witnessed in this eity lor a lung time.— 77/c M<truuuj Mat/, Lowell •

Mr. J. S. Murphy, the elever Irish dialed comedian, appears at Farwell Hall Tuesday Sept. 30, in the familiar domestic drama “ Kerry Gow," which is one of the best of Mr. Fred, Marsden’s play.-. The plot is interesting, and throughout, the situations are excellent. Dan O’Hara, the hero, is brimful of humor and Irish wit, but never coarse, and as portrayed by Mr. Murphy, is admirable. The realistic horseshoeing scene in the third act. where Dan O’Uftra draws a red hot piece of iron from the forge and in plain sight of the audience converts it into a perfect horaeshoejs a pleasant episode, not merely forced into the play to exhibit Mr. Murphy’s ability of iiiuiiufacturing a ii aseshoe, but it naturally leads on to one of the principal climaxes of the drama ami assists in the de­velopment of the story in the most natural manner imaginable. 'i'lie prison ami smithy scene is finely done by scenery carried by the company. The prices h ive been placid at the satisfactory figure of 50 cents for all. Tickets at Spear & May’s, Saturday morning.

This plan, apparently so feasible, will be interfered wilii by numerous obstacles, not tiie least of which i* the popularity of the Boston and Bangor j line. When people desire to go to Bar liar- ' bor by boat they know enough to lake tiie B. A B. steam ers ... .A t a nieeihig of the din etois of ihe Portland Mount Desert A Mat bias steam- boat company, held Thursday, in Portland, Gen. S. ('. Lawrence, Boston, J. S.

T H E D E N V E R E X PR E SS. I station-master came nut on tlie p latform , a lit t le mere though tfu l than his wont, nnd looked eastward for llte smoke of tlie tra in . W ith hut three of tlie pas seiiger- in that tra in lias this taleS|iecial- ly Io do. nnd they were all in tin- new and com fortable Pu llm an ••( ity of I i.eyenne." I lae was a ta ll w e ll made man of alioul th ir ty . blonde, hlne-eycil,

1 liearded. s tra ight, sinewy, alert. O l nil in the tra in le seemed the most thorough­ly at home, ami the res,,eel f ill greeting o f the conductor, as lie passed through the ear. marked him as an o llieer of tlie road. Sm h was lie Henry S incla ir, assistant engineer, quite famed on the line, high in favor w ith the directors, and a ris ing man in a ll ways. I t was known on the road that he was expected

I in Denver, and there were rum ors that lie was to organize the parties for the

j survey o f an im portant "extension.” i Beside Dim sat his pre tty young w ile .

She was a New Y o rker one could te ll al first glam e from Ihe feather ol her litt le lio titie l, m atch ing the gray trave l­lin g dress, to the t ip of her dainty hoots;

i and one. (mi, nt whom old F ifth Avenue pronienaders would have turned Io look. She had a charm ing figure, brown hair, hazel eyes, and an expression at once kind, in te lligen t and spirited. She hail eheei fu lly lett a luxurious home to fo l­low tin- young engineer's fortunes; and it was well known tlm t those fortunes It id been m ate ria lly advanced by her tael and cleverness.

The th ird passenger in question had just been in conversation w ith Sinelair, arid the la tter was te llin g his w ife o f the ir curious meeting. E n tering tho to ile t room at the rear o f tlie ear. ho said, lie had begun Ills ablutions by the side o f another man, mid it wits as they were s lu ic ing the ir faces w ith water that lie heard the ery :

“ W hy, M ajor, is that you? .lust to th in k o f meeting you here!”

A man o f abont tw en ty-e igh t yearsof age, s ligh t, muscular, w iry , had seized his wet hand and was w r in g in g it . He bail black eyes, keen and b righ t, sw arthy com plexion, black ha ir and moustache. A keen oit.server m ig h t have seen about him some signs o f a jeunesse oragcuse, hut his manner wits frank and pleasing. S inela ir looked him iu the face, puzzled for a moment.

"D o n ’ t you remember Foster?” asked the mart.

“ O f course I do,” replied S inelair. “ For a moment. I could not place you. W here have you been and w hat have you been doing?”

"O h ,” replied Eosler, laugh ing, “ I ’ ve braced up anil turned over a new leaf. I ’m a respectable member o f society, have a place in llte express eomany and am going to Denver to take charge.”

“ I ant very glad to hear it, and you must te ll me you r story, when we have had our breakfast.”

T lie pretty young woman was ju s t aliou l to ask who Foster was, when tlie speed o f the tra in slackened, and the hrakeman opened tlie door o f tlie ear and cried out in stentorian tones:

“ Pawnee J u n c tio n ; tw enty m inutes for refreshm ents!”

I I .

When the celebrated Rocky M ounta in gold excitem ent broke out, more than twenty years ago, arid people painted " P ik e 's P e a k rill B ust” on tin: canvas covers o f th e ir wagons and started for the d iggins, they established a “ t ra i l” or “ trace” leading in a southw esterly direction from tin: old one to C a lifo rn ia .

A t a certa in point on this tra il a fro n t­iersman named Barker b u ilt a fo rlo rn raneh-liousii and co rra l and offered what is conventionally called "en te rta inm en t for man and beast.”

For years lie lived there, d iv id in g his tim e between figh tin g (lie In d itn s ami feeding t lie passing em igrants and the ir stock. Then llu : first ra ilroad to Denver was bu ilt, tak ing another route from tlie M issouri, and Barker's occupation was gone. 1 le retired w ith his gains to St. Louis and lived in com fort.

Years passed on ami the “ extension” over which our tra in is to pass was planned. The old pioneers were ex­cellent na tura l engineers, am i the ir suc­cessors could find no better route than they had chosen. Thus i t was that "B a r- kei’o” became, d u rin g tlie construction period, an im portan t point, and tho Iron tie rsm m i’s name came to figure on tim e-tallies. Mean w h ile the place passed through a process o f evolution wh ich would have delighted D arw in . In the party o f engineers w h ich firs t camped there was S inela ir, and it was by liis advice that tint contractors selected i l for d iv 's ion headquarters. T lien camo d r in k ­in g “ saloon*,” and gambling-houses- alike Hie inevitable concom itant and tint liane ol western settlem ents; then sca t­tered houses ami shops, ami a shabby so- called hotel, in which tlie le tting of inisei aide rooms (d iv ided from eaeli o ilie r by canvas partitions) was w h o lly subordin­ated Io tlie business of the liar. Before long, Barker's had acquired a worse reputation than even o ilie r towns o f ils type, tlie n l,norm al and uncanny aggrega- lions o f squalor and vice which dotted the plains in those days; ami it was a t ils worst w lien S inc la ir returned th ithe r and look up his quarters in tlie engineers’ bu ild ing . The passion for gam b ling was raging, and to pander thereto were collected as choice a lo t of ilesperudoes as ever ‘ slocked” cards or loaded dice.II eaiue Io lie noticed that lim y were on excellen t terms w ith a man called “ Je ir” Johnson, who was lessee o f the hote l; ami to lie suspected tha t said Johnson, in local parlance, “ stood il l w ith ” them. W il li this man had cornu to Barker's his daughter Small, com m only known as • 'S a lly ,'1 a handsome g ir l w ith a stra ight, lu lu: figure, line features, reddish aulnn n In ir ami dark him: eyes. I l is hid fo r Io say Hurt even llu : “ toughs” of a place like B i lk e r ’s show sonic respect lo r the o ilie r -ex, and Miss S a lly ’s ease was no exception to the ru le . Flic male pop. illa tion admired her : lim y .said she “ pul on lu ap - of ,-tyle” ; hut none of them had eeiiu'd io make any progress in lu r good graces

• in a pleasant afternoon, ju s t after I lie liaek had lu eii la id some miles west ol Barker'*, and construction tra ins were runn ing w ith some re g u la ii ly to ami from tin: end iliereof, ,S inc la ir sat on a rude veranda of tho engineers* quarters, -m o l. in ,' his V.'I'II eoloreil meerschaum and lo ok ing a ’, the sunset.

O nly a happy inspiration could have im pelled .lack to apply the adjective “ w ild " to that illb ch av id and disrcp ita- ahlc r ive r which. ti|»slly beating its er.orntoiis burden o f mud from the far Northwest, totters, reels, runs its tort 11 oils course for hundreds o f m iles; and which, encountering the lo rd ly and thus fa r well behaved Mississippi at A lton, and forcing its company upon this splen­d id rive r (as i f some drunken fellow should lock arms w ith a dignified pedes­tr ia n ) contaminates it all the way to the G ulf o f M exico.

A t a certain point on the hanks o f this r ive r, o r rather as it has the habit o f abandoning and destroying said banks — at a safe ili- t iin ee therefrom , there is a town from which a railroad takes its de­parture for its long c lim b up the natural incline ol the Great Plains, to the base o f the m ounta ins; hence the im port m e t* to this town o f the large hut somewhat shabby bu ild ing serving as te rm inn l sta­tion.

“ Again we stcppe.l into the street.A train came thundering by,Drawn l,y the snorting iron steed Swifter titan eagle* fly.Itiimoled llte wheels, tie* whistle shrieked, Ear roiled tlie smoky cloud,Echoed tlie hills, the valleys shook,The Hying forests bowed.”

The tra inm en, on the other hand, used no fine phrases. They cnlled it s im ply ‘•Number Seventeen” ; and, when it Started, said it had "pu lled ou t.”

• in the evening in question, there it stood, nearly ready Just behind the great hissing locomotive, w ith its para­bolic headlight ami its coal-ladt n tender, came the baggage, m ail ami express cars; then tlie passenger coaches, in w h ich tho soeinl cond ition o f the occu­pants seemed to lie in inverse ra tio to the ir distance from tlie engine. F irs t came em igrants, “ holiest m iners,” "c o w ­boys" ami laborers; Irishm en, Germans, Welshmen, Mennonites from Russia, qua in t o f garb and speech, and China­men. Then came long eats fu ll o f peo­ple o f better station, and last the great Pullm an “ sleepers,” in wh ich the busy black porters were m aking up the berths for well-to-do travelers ol diverse na­tiona lities mid occupations.

I t was a curious study for a thoughtfu l observer, this m otley crowd ol human beings s ink ing a ll difiereneo o f race, creed, and linhitn in tlie common purpose to move W estward,— to tlie m ountain fastnesses, llio sage-brush deserts, tlie Golden Gate.

The w arn ing hell had sounded, anil the fireman leaned far m il lo r the signal. The gong struck sharp ly, the conductor shouted. “ A ll aboard” and raised his hand; the tired ticket-se ller shut his w in ­dow, and the tra in moved out o f tlie sta­tion, gathered way as it cleared tlie ou t­skirts of the town, rounded a curve, entered on an absolutely s tru igh t line, and, w ith one long whistle from the engine, settled down to its work. Through the n ight hours it sped on, past lonely ranches and in frequent stations, by and across shallow streams fringed w ith cottonwood trees, over the greenish- ye llow hufi'iilo grass; near the old tra il where many a poor em igrant, t in n y a hold frontiersm an, many a brave soldier, iiad la id his bones lin t a short tim e be­fore.

Fam ilia r as they may lie, there is som ething strangely impressive alioul a ll n igh t journeys liy m il ; and those fo rm ing part of an A iuerii an transconti­nental f l ip are almost we ird. From the windows of a night-express in Europe, or tlie o lder portions o f the I ailed Stales, one looks on houses and ligh ts cultivated fields, fences and hedges, and, hurled as he may 111' through tlie d ul.ne-s, lie lias a sense of companionship and semi security. Far d iffe rent is it when tlie long Iru in is running over those tw o rails wh ich, seen before n igh t -el in, seemed to meet on the horizon. W ith in , a ll is as il between tw o great sealioaid c itie s ;

the neatly dressed people, lin t uni- formed officials, the handsome filling s , tlie various appliances lo r eomloiL. W ithout are now long, dreary levels, now deep and w ild canons, now an en­vironm ent ol strange and grotesque rock-fm illa tions, castles, lia llle n ii nts, c liu r i lies, statues. The antelope fleetly runs, and tlie coyote skulks away from tlie track, and Hie gray well howls afar off. I t is for a ll Hie world, to one's fancy, as if a h it o f c iv iliz ilio tt, a family or com m unity , its helougings and -in roundings complete, w ere Hying through regions barbarous and inhospitable.

From Ihe call o f Engine No. ■ tlie d rive r o f Hie Denvei Express saw flo w ­ing fa in tly in lin t early m orn ing, the bu ild ings grouped about the l it 'le sta tion ten m iles ahead, when, breakfast aw aited bis pa-sengel - I le looked at hi* w a tilj bu had ju s t tw enty In iim l' m wlie b Io run Hie di-lance, as lie had run it often before.

Down a path leading from the town, past the rn ilro iu l build ings, and well on llu: prairie . S inela ir saw the g ir l w a lk in g w ith the “ young fe lle r." He was ta lk in g earnestly to her, and her eyes wero cast down. She looked pre tty anil, in a way, g ra ce fu l; nnd there was in her a ttire a noticeable attem pt at neatness, and n fa in t reminisceneu o f hy-gonn fashions. A sm ile came to S incla ir's lips as he thought o f a couple w a lk in g up F ifth A venue durin g his leave o f absence not m any months before, and o f a letter, m any times read, ly in g at that moment in his breast-pocket.

“ I ’apa's bark is worse than his b ite ,” ran one o f its sentences. “ O f course lie does not like tlie idea o f m y leav ing him and go ing away to such dreadful and remote places as Denver ami Omaha, and I don’ t know what else; hut he w ill not oppose me in Ihe end, arid when you come on aga in------ ”

“ By thunder!" oxclnim ed Ham; “ ef tlia r a in 't one o f them cussed sharps a-wntchin ’ ’em .”

Sure enough, a rough-look ing fellow , his hat pulled over his eyes, hnlf-con- eealeil behind a p ile o f lum ber, was casting a sin ister glance toward llu: pair.

“ The g a l’s w e ll enough,” continued Ham; "b u t I don’t take a cent's w u tli o f stock in Ihet t lia r father o f tie r 'll.

W u'nl, llie y 'ro a queer lot, an’ I ’m afeared th a t’s plenty of (ruble ahead among ’em. Good luck to you. M a jo r,” and lie pushed hack Ills cha ir and walked away.

A fte r breakfast next m orn ing, when S inc la ir was H itting at the table in his office, busy w ith maps and plans, the door was throw n open and Foster, pant­ing for breath, ran in.

"M a jo r S inc la ir,” he said, speaking w ith d iff ic u lty , “ I ’ve no cla im on you, hul I ask you to protect me. The other gamblers are go ing to hang me. They are more than ten to one. They w ill track inc here, and unless you harbor me, I ’m a dead man.

S inc la ir rose from his cha ir in a second and walked to the w indow . A party o f men wen: approaching the bu ild ing . He turned to Foster:

“ I d o n u t like you r trade,” said he; “ lin t I w i l l not see you murdere I i f I call he lp It. You arc welcome here.” Foster said “ Thank you,” stood s till n moment, and then began to pace the room , rap id ly c lenching his hands, his whole fram e qu ive ring , his eyes Hashing i lire —“ for a ll tin: w o rld ,” S inelair said, I iu te llin g Hie story a fterw ard , “ like a fierce eageil t ig e r.”

"M y G od!” lie m uttered, w ith concen­trated in tensity, " to In: trapped, tis \ r i ‘l'.i>, like th is !"

S inc la ir stepped qu ick ly Io tin: door o f liis bedroom and motioned Foster Io enter. Thun there came a knock a l tlie o ilie r door, and lie opened it and stood mi tin: threshold, erect and firm . 1 la lfn - I dozen “ toughs" faced him .

“ M a jo r," said th e ir spokesman, “ we w ant that m an.”

•'You cannot have liim , Imvs.”“ M ajor, we’re a-going’ to take h im .”“ You had belter not t ry , ” said S inelair, !

w ith perfect ruse mid self-possession, m id I in a pleasant voice. “ I have given h im ! shelter, and you can on ly get liim over m y dead body. O f course you can k il l me, lin t you won’ t do even that w ithou t one or tw o o f you go ing down ; mid then you know perfectly we ll, hoys, what w i l l happen.

T ic m i'll m idi: no ic p ly . They looked him stra igh t iu the eyes for a iiio ineut. Had lin y seen a sign o f llineh lng H ey m ight have risked the issue, hut tliere was none. W ith muttered curses, they slunk away. S inc la ir shut mid bolted Hie door, lin n opened the one leading to tlie hedl'oom.

“ Foster,’ ' lie said, “ the tra in w ill p iss here in half an hour. Have you money e n o u g h ? ”

“ B leuty, M a jo r.”“ Very w e ll, keep perfectly quiet, mid

I w ill t ry Io get you safely o il. He went to mi ad jo in ing room ami called S u u , the contractor's man. He touk in tlie sit mat ion al a glance.

“ W a'al, Foster, " said lie, “ k ind ’o 'close call lo r yer, w arn ’t it? Guess

S ine la ir glanced nt his watch, then he walked to the w indow nnd looked out. ( In n stnnll »n< « i, or elevated plateau, com m anding the path In Ihe ra ilroad, he saw a num ber o f tnen w ith rifles.

• Ju« tas I ex|»ccte(l,” said he. “ Sam, ask one o f the hoys lo g o down to tlie track and. when the tra in arrives, te ll l ie conductor to come here.”

In a few m inutes the whistle was lienrd, mid the conductor entered the bu ild ing . Receiving his instructions, lie returned, mid im m edia te ly on engine, tender and p la tfo rm appeared tlie tra inm en, w ith H a ir rifles c o v ir .n g tlie g n u.i rn tho

Besides tlie men in s igh t on tlie tra in , tw o lic lilnd tlie w indow - blinds o f tlie one passenger-coach, and unseen, kept th e ir lingers on the triggers o f the ir repeating carbines. I t seamed a long tim e, counted liy anxious seconds, until Foster was safe in llio couch.

“ A ll ready, conductor,” said S inela ir. “ Now, Foster, good-liye, I mu not good al lecturing , lin t i f I were you. I would make this tho tu rn in g -p o in t in m y life .,’

Foster was much moved.“ I w ill d o i t , M ajor,” said he; “ and I

I shall never forget what you have done for me to-day. I mil sure we shall meetaga in.”

W ith nno tlie r 's lirlek from tlie w h istle the tra in started. S inc la ir m id Sam saw tin: men q u ick ly re tu rn ing llio firearms to the ir place as it gathered way. Then they walked liaek to the ir quarters.

’File men on tlie mesa, balked o f the ir purpose, had w ith d ra w n .

Sam accompanied S inc la ir to Ids door and tlien sententiously rem arked: "M a jo r, I th ink I ' l l lig h t out and find some o f the hoys. You u ili't got no call to know anyth ing nlmut it , hut I a llow it ’s about tim e them cusses was bounoed.”

Three nights after th is, a powerful party o f I'l'/i'ZiDiZes, stern and inexorable, made a raid on a ll the gam bling-dens, broke the tallies and apparatus, and conducted the men to a distance from the tow n, w liero they le ft them w ith an emphatic and concise w a rn ing as to tlie consequences o f any a ttem pt to re tu rn . An exception was made in J c f l 'Johnson’s ease,— hut on ly lo r the sake o f his daughter,— for i t whs found tha t many a " l i t t le game” had been carried on in his house.

Ere long he found it convenient Io sell liis business nnd retire to a town some tni'es to tlie eastward, win-re tlie ra ilroad in lluenco was not as strong as at Bar­ker’s. A t about th is tim e, S inela ir had made arrangem ents to go to New Y ork, w ith tlie pleasant prospect o f m a rry ing the young lady in F ifth Avenue In due lim e lie arrived at Barkers w ith his young and charm ing w ife and remained for some days. 'Flic changes were astound­ing. Common-place respectability had replaced abnorm al lawlessness. A neat station stood where had been tlie rough contractors’ bu ild ings. A l a new "W in d so r” (o r was it “ B runsw ick?” ) tho perform ance o f the kitchen contrast­ed sadly (alas! how common is such con­trast in these regions) w it l i t lie promise o f tlie menu. T lie re was a taw dry theatre yclept •‘ Academy o f M usic,” and there was not much to choose in the way o f ugliness between tlie tw o “ meeting houses.”

‘ •U |xin my word, iny dear,” said S in­c la ir to Ills w ife, " I ought to he ashamed to say it, but I prefer B i lk e r ’s an nal- a rc l.

One evening, je s t before the young people le ft the town, and Mrs. S incla ir sat alone in her room , tlie frowsy w a it­ress announeed "a la dy .” anil was re­quested to hid her enter. A woman came w ith tim id mien in to the room , sat down, as invited, and removed her veil. O l course the young bride had never know n Sally Johnson, tlie w h ilom ladle o f Barker's, hut her husband would have noticed a l a glance hew greatly she was changed from the g ir l who walked w it l i F'ostur past the engineers’ quarters. I t w ould he hard to find a more s trik in g contrast than was presented liy the two women as they sal facing each o th e r ; the one in the Hush ol li iia lt li and lieauty, ca lm , sweel, sell-possessed ; tlie other s till re ta in ing sonic o f the shabby finery o f old days, hut pale and liaggard, w it l i black rings under tier eyes, and a pathetic a ir o f hum ilia tio n .

“ M rs. S ine la ir.” she liu n id ly began, “ you do not know me, nor the like of me. I ’ve go t no righ t to speak to you, but I couldn’ t l ie lp il . O h! please believe me, I am not real d o w n rig h t bail. I 'm Sa lly Johnson, daughter o f a man they drove out o f the tow n. M y m other died when 1 was litt le , and I never had a siiow ; and folks th in k beenuso I live w it l i my father, and lie makes me know the crowd lie travels w itl i, that 1 must lie in w itl i llieu i, mid lie o f the ir sort. I never had a woman speak a k ind word to me, mid I've had so much trouble t lia l Fm ju s t drove w ild , ami like to k i l l m yse lf; and then I was at tlie station when you emne ill mid I saw your sweet face mid tlie Kind look iu your eves, mid i t cunic iu my heart that I ’d speak to you il 1 died tor it . ” She leaned eagerly fo rw ard, tier lim id nervously closing on the liaek o f a chair. “ I suppose your huslia lid never told you o f m e; like enough he never knew me; b ill I ’l l never forget liim as long as I five. When lie was here iiefon:, there whs a young liin u ” —hero ii fa in t co lor came in the wall cheeks— "w h o was fond o f me, mid I though t tin: wot Id o f liim , mid my father was down on liim , mid the, men that father was in w ith wauled to k il l l i im ; m id M r.

But oh! dear lady, I ' l l never forget what your liushalld did. lie 's a good m ini and lie deserves tin: love o f a dear good woman like you, m id il I dared. I 'd pray for you both, l l ig i lt and day .”

Sin: slopped suddenly mid sank lu c k in her seat, pale as before and li'ightened liy her own e iiio linu . Mrs. S ine la ir had listened w ith sym pathy mid iucrcusiug iu lerest.

“ M y poor g ir l , ” she said, speaking tenderly (she bad a lovely, soft voice)

and w ith s lig h tly heightened color, “ I am delighted tha t you emne to see me, nnd lic it my husband was able to help you. 'Fell me, can we not do more for you? I d o n u t for a moment believe you can lie happy in your present surround­ings. Gan we not assist you to leave them ?’ ’

File g ir l rose, sadly shaking her head. “ I lliank you for your kind words,” she said. " I don 't suppose I ' l l ever see you again, but I ' l l say. God bless you !”

Slie caught Mrs. S incla ir's hand, pressed i l to her lips and was gone.

S inelair found liis w ife very though t­ful when lie came home, and listened w itli much interest to her story.

'•Boor g ir l I” lie said “ F o s te r is tlie man Io help her. I wonder where he is? I must inquire about li im .”

'File next day. they proceeded on the ir way Io S m Fi aneiseo.nnd matters drifted on at Barker’s much ns before. Johnson had. a lte r an absence o f some months, eolne hack and lived w ith ou t molestation, am id tho sh ifting population. Now and tlien. too, some o f the older residents fancied they recognized under slouched sombreros, tile faces o f some o f his fo r­mer "e ro w d " about the "R a n e lim m i’s Home,” ns liis gaud v saloen was called.

On the very evening on which Iliis slorv opens, and they were “ m aking u p " tlie Denver Express in Ihe trnin-liouse on tlie M issouri, “ J im ” W atk ins, agent and telegrapher al B a rker’s, was s il lin g in liis lit t le office, com m unicating w itl i tho station rooina by tlie ticke t w indow .

On a seat in the station sat a woman in a black dress and veil appar­ently w a iting for a tra in .

“ ( lo t a lump o f letters Hnd telegram s tliere, a in ’t yer, J im ? ” rem arked the mini at the w indow .

“ Yes,” replied J im ; “ they are for engineer S incla ir, to he delivered to him when lie p isses th rough here. He leaves on No. 17, to n ig h t.” The in q u ira rd id not notice the sharp s ta rt o f tlie woman near him .

“ Is that good-lookin ’ w ife o f liis ’n a co in in ’ w it l i li im ? " asked he.

"Yes. tlie re ’s letters for her, too.”“ W ell, good n igh t, J im . See yer

“ M r W atk ins,” cried slie, “ can I see you for a few moments, where no one can in te rrup t us? It 's a m atter of life anil death.” She clutched tlu: s ill w ith her th in hands nnd her voice trem bled. W atkins recognized Sa lly Johnson iu a moment, l ie unbolted a door, motioned her to enter, elosed and again bolted it, and also elosed tho ticke t w indow . Then lie pointed to a ehair, and the g ir l sat down and leaned eagerly forw ard.

“ I f they knew I was here,” she said in a hoarse w liis p e r," i iiy life wouldn’ t he safe live m inutes. 1 was w a ilin g Io te ll you a te rrib le story nnd then I heard ivlio was on tho tra in due here tom orrow n ight.

She stood up rig h t, her face deadly pale, her hands clasped. W atkins walked deliberate ly to the railroad map which hung on tlie w a ll and scanned it. Then he resumed liis seat, la id his pipe- down, fixed his eyes on llu : g ir l's face, and began to question her. A l the same tim e liis r ig h t hand, w ith wh ich lie luid held the pipe, found its way to tho tele­graph key. None lu ll an expert could have distinguished any change in Ihe c lick in g o f the instrum ent, wh ich had been almost incessant; but W atkins had "ca lle d ” the head office on tin: M issouri. In tw o m inutes tin: “ sounder” rattled out " A l l r ig h t! What is i t ‘J"

W atkins went on w ith liis questions. Ids eyes s till fixed on the poor g irl's face, mid a ll tlie tim e liis lingers, as it were, p lay ing w it l i tin: key. I f he were im - pertui'bable, so was not a m ail s itt in g at a receiv ing instrum ent nearly live hun­dred miles away. He had “ taken” lint a few words when lie jum ped from liis c lin ir m id cried :

"S h u t th a t door, and call the siiporin- teudeul and he qu ick !

'Fite supe rin le iiile lit, responding to the hasty Hommeiis, heard llte message before llte c le rk hud tim e to w r ite i t out. H is lips were closely com pressed ns lie pu l his own hand on the key and sent these laconic sentences : "O . A'. K rrpjirrJ'cctlg dark. W ill manage f ro m this end.

W atkins, a l Barker's, rose from his seat, iipeued the door a l i t t le way, saw that Hie station was em pty, mid then said to the g ir l , brusquely hut k in d ly ;

“ Sally, you ’ve done the square th ing, and saved the tra in . I ' l l take care that you don’ t su lle r and tha t you get w e ll paid. Now come liou ie w it l i me. mid my w ile w ill look ou t fo r you.”

A l the other end o f Ihe w ire, the su- purin tendent had qu ie tly impressed se­crecy on liis operator and c le rk , ordered Ids fast m arc harnessed, and gone to his private office.

“ Read th a t!” said he 'o his secretary. “ I t was about tim e for sumo trouble o f this kind, nnd now I'm going to le t I nele Sant take care o f l ib mails. I l I don’t get to the reservation before the General's turned in, 1 shall have to wake him up. W a il for me please.”

"F os te r,” qu ietly asked S incla ir, “ do you know Hie Berry gang?”
