WILL Nor Floar. - Concerning tn
nafter Of . prize fight between Bill Da
Wis and bio: Williams. the Chronicle o
last evening says that Davis was called
on 1t his gymnasium this morning anf
asked ii he hsd found hackers. He said
&c had asked no one 10 back him yet
and vo1ll not. Furthermore, he felt
after Que deisberation. that his hands
were not in sufficiently good condition
to risk $1,000 on: but he would fight q
glove match for the above amount. His
experiences in the prize ring have not
been pleasant ones, and he does not
banker after either its honors or the
questionable notoriety which comes from
liz brutal contests. He is ready to fight
: glove match with any man living: not
. blaokened glove contest. but one which
snds when ora Fan gives up exhausted.
The probabilities, therefore, of the two
men coming together are rather slim.
From the present appearance of Davis
hands it is quite evident that they would
not last over half an hour. and Williams
vel known wind, foughness and endur-
ance would, in that event, give him o
decided advantage.

ORPHANS RrcsIvED AND REJECTED
We learn from Parscn Kelly that there
have been eight new ADMISSIONS to the
Orphans Home this week. Four were
adn';tted from Lyon county on Tuesday
and four from Washoe yesterday. Three
applications from Storey county were
declined on the ground of their not com.
ing within the regulations--or rather,
because the circumstances in which the
children are placed will not admi. their

For the next week 1 treated him to

For the next week I treated him to
love and Indifference alternately, keep
ing him all the time at bay, SO that he
could not approach me nearer than ]
willed until he was half mad with fear
and love. I had not meant to marry
this cousin, who had been a persistent
suitor as well, until I learned what Dead
Sea apples l had been eating from
Richard Grey's hands; that knowledge
changed my intentions. When / met
him after his long absence his anxious
ques6onings were answered without a
word. He knew I would be his wife
then.
l was not at home TO Richard Grey
for two weeks after Ernest's arrival /;
but at the end of that time | was ready
TO meet him, and went down at once as
soon as he called.
81 have wanted to see you very much,
Margaret" he said, bending over my
hand. "Why have you denied me ad-
mittance SO long?"
81 have wantedto see you, too, Rich
ard, y l answered slowly, lingering ten
derly over his name; ssbut these we'd
dings make such disturbance
He started violently, but I went on
speaking in the same even tone.
g should have sent you these, hold
ing out the invitation cards, "but
hoped each day that should see you
the next, and give them myself, so it
was delayed until now" and handed
them to him. S@
He threw them down, and put his foot
upon them quicker than lightning.
8 Is this true, Margaret?' burst from
his lips.
"Truep Of course tits. Why do you
ask?n
"And you have dared to throw it in
my face like this, as if had never loved
you?''
Twas careful to keep my tones cool
and even as before.
sMy dear Mr.. Grey, you are to mar
ry your cousin, and mine. Surely,
you did not think would love you when
l knew you were the betrothed of an
other? And could not be SO vain as
to think you cared for me at all when
you loved her so well. A harmless fir
tation; and we both understood it to
perfection, / Think
His face was like dead mans face,
as he staggered from the room. All,
revenge is sweet, after all! Who says
it is not?

them come springing out on the other
side A half minute more would have
been too late, for the fire had reached
the lake. The house was standing yet,
for the fire had been checked little
by the burrows and had burn
ed round on each side, while it
stopped in front. But the flames
were crossing the break, had crossed it
in several places, and were coming on.
That was evident. Was there any
chance of making successful fight
against themp On three sides was the
fire, coming on in front, eating in slow
" at the sides and a strong wind to carry
sparks and smoke and heat. But then
the house was of logs with sod roof,
and would not easily catch; the grass
around it was thin or worn entirely
away the stable was behind the house;
and there was the lake, as last resort
for their lives. Each took gunny bag
and a pail of water, and then waited a
little. Some stacks a few rods away
had just caught; but it was no use to
meet the fire till it came up nearly to
the house. Then they fought it-first
here, then there. While they worked
at one point it crept up to the very sill
at another, and where it seemed to be
put out it would start up afresh. But in
five minutes they stopped to take breath,
and, looking around, saw that the fire
had all swept past, leaving the black
burned prairie and poor scorchedE trees
behind, and to them their house and
stable and one small stack of hay.
But what they had lost did not seem
much to them just then; they were so
glad for what they had saved. Wallace
