LOVE IN A SAw-MILL.

About fourteen year. ago was en-
ployed a. head sawyer in the steam
saw-mill of l.. D. Smith l. Co., near
the mining town of s.. Mr.. Smith
and his family were living in a neat
cottage close to the mill, and often I and
the engineer. James Alton by name,
were invited by our employer to attend
the evening worship held In his house.
One evening, just as we were taking
leave of his family, We heard the sound
'fcarriage wheels. Immediately follow.
ed by knock at the outer door.
Minnie is coming!" "Minnie is COM
ing!" exclaimed Mrs. Smith, rushing
past US into the entry. Her husband
followed with n light.
A minute after the door opened, and
Minnie, her oldest daughter, was locked
in her mothers arms.
Minnie was a beautiful girl, about
seventeen years of age. Three years she
had passed in . young ladies, seminary
near Utica, New York, aud now she
had returned to her mountain home,
amidst tn pines and cejars Of Califor-
MIA.
The engineer anil I fingered awhile
after her arrival, for both desired to be
introduced to Minnie Smith.

to her father, after, bowing to US. James
had neid nut hl- hand, but she did not
touch it, aud I saw that he blushed
| deeply, while his glittered revengefuIly
Iwhat he supposed her disdain.
Soon after we left the cottage. On
our way to the mill said:
flames, old boy, you look mad.
Why, don't you know that in good
socit'y they never shake hands, but
only bow"
"Well, didn't know 1t. But, never
theless, she could have shaken hands
wi, h 'ae n-n size SAN that held out

then began topraise Minnie's beauty
and then asked his opinion about her;
but he gave ,ueno answer. When We
parted I"r the night, I noticed that his

ping one day last summer at railroad
station, he was accosted by well-known
politician, who recognized him, and
asked him If he was not the chaplain at
the college at such time, naming the
year. The doctor replied that he was.
"I was there" said the interrogation,
"And I knew you by your limp"
"Well," said the doctor, i" 1t seems
that my limping made deeper impress
sion on sou than my preaching" "Ah.
