Miss Fanny Borland found Jack

Miss Fanny Borland found Jack
awaiting her at San Francisco.
What made YOU run away ?"
Why. Fanny, didn't Tom tell you
about it ?" qaerie,l Jack.
TON? Oh. y"n mean ,".r.' 'Rnger.
He only sent me down here.
Just like linn, Fan; very ,ew
word, Ee ever WASTES. All, sister,
we don't have such men out East.
$50 the stage ge-drivcr told me, said
Fanny, very demurely.
There, Fan, you're poking fun
now. Wait till l get through. Only
for Tom, you would have found me
at Ten Mile Gulch, hanging by the
neck to the limb Of that tree just in
front Of the Home
Hanging, Jack ?"
Hanging, Fan-lynched for a
murder I never committed. Tom
came along just in the nick of time,
and We'll, Fap, perhaps you
saw some of the Ten Milers before
you came away ?"
Yes, jack and there was only
one whole nose in the lot, and l do
believe that was out Of joint. But,
oh, Jack if they had taken your
life !"
"Never mind now, sis. Tom was
too many for 'em; and here l am
safe. Well wait here till Tom comes
down, for I've got one of his horses,
which he thinks more of than he
does of himself then for home, sis. "
Mr.. Tom Ruger went down, as he
said he would, and remained with
them several days. On the morning
that they were to sail, Fanny said to
Tom
at wish you were going with us,
Mr.. Ruger. We shall mics you very
much. Won't you go?'
Mr.. Ruger was talking with Jack
at the time, but he heard Fanny-he
always heard what she said.
He did not reply at once, however,
but said to Jack, in low tone:
Jack, you know whatI haze been
-...n Fever become worthy of her p.
And Jack answered promptly:
God bless ,yoq, Tom, you are
worthy nowY Y';''" -a'''

CHAPTER LII

A.Li'tle alter sunrise, the next
morning, Mr.. Tom Ruger might have
been seen .isurely riding along the
yridle-path between the mines and
the settlement of Ten Mile Gulch.
he was headed toward the village,
and was nine and three-quarter miles
nearer to it than the mines. He had
found another good cigar somewhere,
and he was h b5umming the 3 selfsane
tune as on the previous afternoon
but the riderless horse was not with
him.
AS Mr.. Ruger rode into the only
street in the village, his approach
was heralded, and the Ten Milers,
who were waiting for Watson's re-
turn, fled out of the Miners Home,
and took stations in the street.

CHAPTER II.

The barroom at the Miners Hon e
might lave been more crowded at
soluc lormer period OF its existence.
but to have duplicated the two dozen
faces and forms OF the two dozen Ten
Milers who were congregated there
that beautiful Autumn afternoon
would have been a hopeless task.
Ten Mile Gulch had turned out
en- anasse, and those same Ten Milers
were distinguished neither for their
good looks, nor taste in dress, nor
softness of heart or language, nor
elegance of manners. Further than
that we do not care to go at present.
But there was. one face and one
form absent. No more would the
genial atmosphere of that bar-room
respond to the heavings Of his broad
chest, no more would the dignifsd

DEspERATIoN.-An Iowa editor re-
Gently, to keep up with the styles,
ran away with another mans wife.
He did not get off as easily, however,
as he imagined he would. The man
followed him, and overlook the tru-
ant pair The editor got behind the
woman, and prepared to sell his life
as dearly as possible. He was un-
certain as to whether the outraged
husband would shoot him, or murder
him with carving-knife. He stood
there, like the boy on the burning
deck, and awaited the result The
outraged husband came up within
about two feet Of the editor, and
said "Cuss your impudence. l
want you to stop my paper. That
was all. The editor recovered him
self, and said he would have the
matter attended to at once. During
all the trying scene the woman stuck
to the editor like sand burr to a
girls stocking. Some people get
n d and stop their paper for almost
nothing-it beats all.

Referring to the delays on the short route. between New York and San Francisco. the Shipping List says q change Is imperaffyely necessary, or merchants in both cities will ac. commodate their business on the basis of the Cape route. Formerly it was an easy matter 10 get goods through by the steamship line in - to 35 days. Now, nothing Is received in less than 4O days, and sometimes 5O and co days are consumed. Upon the completion of the railroad, we were told that goods would be sent through in l3 to l6 days This is rarely ever done; but the fact that it can be done, is evidence enough that it ought to be done. More commonly the time exceeds 20 days, and not uuirequently from 40 to 50 days eiapse between the shipment and receipt of goods. To call 4O to 4j days good time for freight between New York and san Francisco E simply a libel on the power of steam. .-l San Diego nion.
