no matter, take them all; ! must hav'
the money
In her eagerness she had thrown
aside her veil, revealing a lilly face
lit by lustrous sapphire eyes Ross
Dunbar stood silent a moment, every
norve in his manly frame thrilling
with supreme delight. Hehad found
her at last, the one idol Of his life.
"They are very fine gems" he said
after a moment, "and | am willing
to give you fair price-suppose we
say one thousand dollars, will that
do?"
The girl flashed dazzling glance
of surprise from beneath her heavy
veil.
$50 much as that,?' she said tremu-
lously. "You are very kind, sir
0 you cannot know how much this
money will help me-"
The young man made polite re
ply aud proceeded to. put ASIDE the
Jewels and to draw a check for tie
money. The March winds were still
clustering without and the girl shiv-
cred and drew her wrapper closer as
she started out
"Wont you let me run down to
the bank for you?" Said the jeweler,
catching up his hat.
"You can play shop lady the
while; it won't be but minute or
two"
"But arr troubling you So"
Not a bit; just take this warm
seat, please, you'll not be likely to
have any customers. And seating
her beside his desk, he took the
check and hurried out.
Pausie Fontenay threw back her
veil aud leaned her head upon her
hand a puzzled reflective look npon
her sweet, sad face.
Where have | seen this face?' she
asked herself over and over again.
1t is so familiar, who in the world
can it be?7 His return broke in up
on her meditation, and after receiv-
ing her money she hurried away to
her humble lodgings.
The following afternoon was even
more clustering and stormy the wind
roared aid the sleet beat and tlGkled
against the little room in which Pan
sie and her father sat Severe mis-
fortune and reverse had reduced
them 20 poverty, and the old man
beIog an invalid, all the care fell up
on Pansie's slender shoulders. She
sat with her sewing, while her father
read aloud from a new book which
she had bought for him with some Of
the money received for her jewels.
Her sweet face was wan and sad, and
her future stretched before her sad,
hopeless and gloomy.
There was a ring at the door and &
servant brought up package for
Miss Fontonay. An exquisite bunch
of pansics fragrant and golden heart
ed, done up in tissue paper, and
attached to them card, bearing the
simple words; Ross Dunbar has not
forgotten little Pansie.'
Pansie sat amazed 70. a moment
and the rich bloom darted up her
white cheeks
40, father she cried, Il knew
him, | knew him. o, We have fcurd
Ross at lastr'
An instant later Ross was in the
room clasping her futtering hands IL
his, and looking into hei blue eyes
with a glance that brought the rosy
hue to her face.
y few weeks later, when the blus-
tcring winds were over, and the blue
birds sang in the hedges, and the
golden-hearted pansies bloomed on
the garden borders, little Pansie be-
came Ross Dunbar's bride; and for
her bridal gift he gave her back the
string of emeraids.

The good sense Of the elder Wei
ler's advice to Samival is confirmed
almost every day. The latest instance
is that of widow of 80 named Shea,
who recently sued her godson. Mr.,
Davis, in a Dublin court for breach
of promise of marriage. The widow
to all appearances made a good show
ing, but the godson showed beyond
ali denial that Mrs. Shea was born a
manegverer, with whom be was nev-
er safe unless others we're present.
He also showed that the old lady was
in the habit ofsmoking, and appealed
to the jury to ask themselves wheth-
er they would ever promise to marry
woman who not only smoked, but,
in addition, was old enough to be the
grandmother Of any of tbem. Not
witbstandiDg the p'overbial gallnntry
of the Irishman, the jury found n
verdict for her, awarding her just
sixpence, or sufficient to buy new
pipe and plug OF tobaccoi Another
melancholy proof of the wrongs in
ficted upon woman by the tyrant
man!

Shooting ARRAY.
From tho Phoebe Record, June 79.1

From the Plocho Record, juno 79.l
About shutdown last evening a diff
Guilty occurred on Main street, in front
of Wiederhold's news depot, between
John T.. Kelly, an attorney-at.law.
and j. j. Maggie, a mining Superln-
tendent, which would probably have
been a serious affair but for the timely
interference of Sheriff Travis, Deputy
Sheriff James and a bystander, who
interfered just In time to prevent
bloodshed. 1t seems that Kelly and
Maggie had previously had some high
words, growing out Of Judge Fuller's
decision granting n new trial In the
Raymond & -Hermes case, but sep.
arated and met again at the time and
place before mentioned. High words
ensued, and just before the shooting
something was said at which there
were simultaneous hostile demonstra-
lions by both parties. and Kelly was
seen to draw a pistol. Sheriff Travis
caught his arm, and the contents Of
the pistol were discharged into the
air. Deputy James and n bystander
took hold Of Maggie, and so the parties
we're separated. Mr.. Kelly was taken
into custody, and at once gave bonds
for his appearance before Justice Stou.

Sewing Buttons.

1t Is bad enough to see a bachelor
sew on n button, but he Is the embodi.
ment of grace alongside a married
man. Necessity has compelled expe-
rience In the case of the former, but
the latter has always depended upon
some one else for this service. and, for
tunately for the sake Of society, 1t IL
rarely he Is obliged to resort to the
needle himself. Some times the pa
tient wife scalds her right hand, or
runs a silver under the nall Of the In
dex finger of that hand, and 1t Is then
the man clutches the needle around
the neck, and, forgetting to tie a knot
In the thread, commences to put on
the button. 1t Is always In the mori-
ing, and from five to twenty minutes
after he Is expected to be down In the
street. He lays the button exactly on
the site Of its predecessor, and pushes
the needle through n eye, and care
fully draws the thread alter, leaving
about three inchos Of 1t sticking up for
the lee way. He says to himself:
"Wcll, II women don't have the easi-
est time I ever see.' Then he comes
back the other way, and gets the nee.
die through the cloth we'll enough, and
Laws himself out to find the eye, but In
spite Of a great deal OF patient stab
bling, the needle point persists In buck
Ing against the solid part OF that but
ton, and finally, when no loses pa
thence, his finger catches the thread,
and that three inches he had left TO
hold the button slips through the eye
In n twinkling, and tho button rolls
leisurely across tho floor. He picks 1t
up without q single remark, out of
respect for his children, and makes
another attempt to fasten 1t. This time
when coming back with tho needle lie
keeps both the thread aud button from
slipping by covering them with his
thumb, and 1t Is out Of regard for that
part OF him that he feels around for
the eye In a very careful and ju-
dicious manner, but eventually losing
his philosophy a. tho search be-
comes more and more hopeless, he
falls to jabbing about In q loose and
savage manner, aud 1t Is Just then the
needle finds the opening, and comes
up through the button and part way
through his thumb with a celebrity that
nohuman ingenuity can guard against
Then he lays down the things, with a
few familiar quotations, and presses
the injured hand between his knees,
aud then holds 1t under the arm, and
finally jams 1t Into his mouth, and
all the time he prances about tile floor,
and calls upon heaven and earth to
witness that there has never been any
thing like 1t since the world was Gre
ated, and bowls, and whistles, aud
means, and sobs. After n while lie
calms down. and puts on Ills pants,
and goes to his business a changed

WHITE HERCULES PowDER.-Although
but of recent introduction into our
mines. this famous explosive proves
emInently successful, and Is already in
general use, taking precedence over all
other powder. It's explosive force Is
fully 25 per cent. greater than that OF
any other heretofore In use, and 1t is
calculated that q saving Of at least
$25, 600 a year Is effected in the mines
Of the Comstock alone. The M Her.
cules Is the strongest powder In use for
hard rock blasting, for powders and
for use In water. The No. 2 Is equally
effective for all medium hard rock, and
much superior to any other powder OF
that class. They are both readily ex-
ploded with the usual cap when pro-
perly adjusted to the fuse. The White
Hercules Powder can be obtained ut
