How Perley Got Even.

A party of rough miners near White
Pine, away out West, played rather
severe joke upon green hand, one ID. w
Perlcy, and had aiterw2fd occasion to re-
gret their fun Pcrley and the rest went
To "rodeo," or dance, and the boys, feel
ing rather well, concluded to duck Perlcy
in "a running brook. They soused him
beneath the water, and when he came out
he was very cold and wet, indeed, SILVER
ing like a cat pulled from "A well. Perley
said little, but thought greatUeal and
waited. The dance over, the party camped
out for the night, and then Perley rose for
revenge. He took the cook into his conf
dcnce, paying him for his assistance, and
then did some more waiting. Much whisky
had made the miners drowsy and they
were soon all lying on the ground sleep
ing sOundly. Then Perley and the cook
seized pick and shovel and went out into
the darkness. The former had matured
his plan for vengeance, and an admirable
plan il was, too. The design was TO turn
the secthiDg mountain torrent from its
natural Channel and so divert 1t that IL
would wbelm the sleepers below Up the
stream to the proper point went Perlcy
and the cook and fell b work Ii was no
light task they had undertaken, but one
was laboring tor money and the other for
revenge and men do not mind fatigue
with such incentives. 1t was nearly
morning when The dam was completed
and all ready to let the water into the new
channel The final blows were given and
the chatting stream escaped into the new
channel-a roaring torrent. 1T ragged
down upon the sleepers In the tent and
went over them as the waters did over
Pharaoh and his hosts. Tent, provisions
and tools went, and the miners, half
drowned, escaped to land with difficulty.
When daylight came Perley and the cook
were gone, and band Of wet miners sat
upon the bank very melancholy and full
OF sorrow at having paid 50 dearly for
ruthless act. Perley was more than even
with them.
