And who's winning7"
I'm bound to say as Jose's winnin', /"
said Pete, sorrowfully. "JohR never
had no luck at keards."
Phoebe whipped up Robin little, and
followed her father up to the cabin in
silence. Once inside her room. she took
from the shelf the nugget which had
been present from Jose, and, stepping
outside the door, she threw it with all
her strength into the thick underbrush,
whispering: "There, blood thirsty vii
ianl" Then she went back, took the
rest of her nuggets-gathcring up the
corners of her apron, that none might
roll out-slipped out of the door, and
ran at full speed down to the saloon,
the silver moonlight shining upon her
as she went. Bald Pete stood Mt the
door.
"My eye :" he cried, when he saw the
Posy.
care they playing YETI she whis-
pered.
He nodded assent. She took his hand
and clung to it like child, drawing him
into the room after her. Jose looked up
when she came in, and started; John
saw her, too, and let the cards drop from
his hand. "Never mind 'em, John"
she said, in SO low voice that he hardly
heard her, I'm going to pay Jose for
your debit" and she emptied the mug
gets upon the table, between the two
pistols which lay there, one upon each
side, ready to the hnnd of each player.
She put her arms around Johns arm,
clinging to it, as if she loved it, and tried
to lead him away.
Apodoca flung his cards upon the
floor, and, quick as o flash, Phoebe
heard the crack of his pistol-once,
twice John fell back against the wall
with groan, the room was full of smoke
and the smell of burnt powder; then
there was heavy thud, and Apodoca
fell, between the wall and the table,
dead, without groan or word; the
pistol, clenched fast in his stiffened
hand, went into the grave with him.
And two days after, with all the incon-
sistency of a woman, the Posy searched
the chaporral, far and near, to find the
nugget which she had scornfully thrown
away, and which, for all her searching,
she never found.
John was all very well-she did love
him, and would marry him, but his
wound had been nothing; Apodoea's
aim, so fatally sure the second, had
missed the first time, and John had
escaped with mere hesh-wound. But
Jose" poor fellow - his love cost him
his life, and even spoiled goddeeses have

In Behalf of the Birds.

George T. Fish, of Rochester, chair
man of the committee on ornithology,
presented to the Western New York
Horticultural Society well-considered
statement touching the usefulness of our
feathered friends. A French naturalist
ascertained by careful investigation that
single insect might in five generations
become the progenitor of five thousand
millions of descendants. With these
appalling figures before US we are
forced to the conclusion that were the
birds destroyed desolation would result,
compared with which the grasshopper
plague of the West would sink into in
significance. The vocal melody of birds
would give place to the constant buzzing,
scraping, Kissing sound of insects, not
long, however, to be endured, for
the destruction of vegetation must ine-
vitably be followed by the destruction
of animal life. 1t is evident God de-
signed that the birds should hold the
insects in check. Can we afford to dis
pense with even part of their assist
ance because it costs MS something in
fruit? We are willing to pay money for
fertilizers and for labor. we even pay
men for destroying insects, and regard
it as profitable investment. 1t is un-
reasonable to demand that the entire
work of the bird shall be gratuitous.
While the committee would advise the
protection of birds as class, they think
experience has shown that the pugna-
cious character of the English sparrow
renders him an undesirable settler.
Our domestic birds, more peaceably dis
posed, incline to leave him the whole
field, and his introduction to this coun-
try is probably no improvement on ma
ture's plan. 1t would seem to be better
to encourage by every means an income
of our native tribes.

She Felt Happy.

Two ladies met on the avenue, aud one
inquired of the other, "Why, you look
very happy this morning. What's
happened" "Oh, I've just been up
having my fortune told" was the reply,
"and the woman says I'm to marry
twice more, have diamonds and camel's

six nights in week if l want to. "Dear
me, don't wonder that you are happy.

HE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE WE'LL,
PLACED. the world has been
seeking specifics for disease for many
centuries, few indeed have been found
Prominent among these few ia Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters, which. wears
ago, received the endorsement of the
medical profession. and was hailed by
the press and public as the great reno.
want and preventive of the age. And
with good reason, since to the weak

torpid liver activity, to the disordered
bowels regularity, aud to the shakened
nervous system frmness and tone.
Under it's benignant influence health
fni vlgor returns to the debilitated
and wasted frame, the faccid muscles
become compact, the wan aspect of
Ill-health is replaced by look OF
checffnlness. tho mind ceases to de-
epond, and flesh is developed upon the
attenuated frame. There is no exag-
geration in this statement. It is as
true as that the system is subject to
disease. We're proofs required to sub.
stantiate the reality of the oonnprehen-
sive effects OF the Bitters, there is pro-
badly not in existence q medicine in
favor of which euch mass of concur.
rent testimony. from the most respect
able sources, could be adduced. But
the efficacy OF the nations Alternative

OF universal knowledge too long
to need any such corroboration.
The fact that it has itslargest
sales in those portions OF the
North and South American continents,
Mexico and the West Indies. in which

health exists, proves what confidence
IL felt in it's remedial and protective
virtues. In localities where fevers of
an intermittent type prevail especially,
it has come to be regarded as an in-
dispensable necessity. F19f3Tl

SINGULAR ACADEMIA QUARTZ
WAGON ON THE RAMPAGE.-One of
the most novel accidents of which
we remember ever to have heard,
occurred on the Plaza, in this city,
ct about IL o'clock on Sunday
night. A number of quartz wag-
ons are usually idle on the Plaza,
and secured from rolling off down
hill by having the brakes set or
being checked" with rocks. The
wind was blowing quite a breeze at
about midnight, and from this or
some other cause, the brake on one
of Waddell's sixty-hundred wagons
became loosened, and it started off
across the square. Gaining velocity
every foot. and steered by its own
eccentric inclination, it described a
half circle from the north to the
west, and finally dashed furiously
down the grade, and with temen-
dous crash. through the fence and
right into the frame residence of
Mrs. Hill, widow lady living on
the west side of the Plaza. The
old monster moved down the fence
and awning posts as if they were
but pipe-stems, and striking be-
tween the window and door casing,
forced an entrance into the house.
/ Mrs. Hill and her children were
sleeping in separate apartments at
the time, and - the wagon struck,
the terror it created can better be
imagined than described. Whether
