waters of the Tuolumne, on such q
night"
"Hold, there" said 1; give me
the California story another time.
1t was not much ofa story, let it
pass-let it pass. Well, when l left
Virginia, 1 took the near cut by the
way of the County Hospital, a short
distance beyond which I struck into
the main wagon road leading to Su-
tro.
"But I must tell you curious
thing that occurred before I came to
the Sutro road. just as came into
the deep ravine this side of the hos
pital, a large, black dog met me. in
the trail. He was an immense fel-
low, and, to my horror, saw that
he had in his mouth the leg of a
human being-a leg amputated
about midway between the knee and
the hip joint. The beast halted,
looked at me with glaring eyes,
then turned and trotted down the
ravine, with the leg swaying up and
down in his jaws.
"The ghoulish brute has dug
that up somewhere above the hospi-
tai" thought I, and, shuddering at
the idea of such a feast, I hurried
Op.
"Near the top of the first hill be-
yond the hospital, I sat down on a
rock to rest. I took pail at my
bottle-the first after leaving town
in order to take the taste Of that
black dog out of my mouth, and
was just replacing the cork, medi-
tatively like, when I heard the sound
of what seemed distant music. I
thought it might be a bagpipe back
in town, and go started on up the
hill.
Presently the sound OF music
became more distinct. It now
seemed to be the shrill and peculiar
squeaking of Chinese fiddle, and,
borne to my ears by the breeze, it
began to appear quite near and to
be somwhere before me. I trudged
on, wondering at hearing such music
IN that place; I couldn't understand
it."
j" It was strange"
Wasn't it?"
"Well, Just at the top of the hill
I came upon lone cinnamon, seated
on a rock by the roadside, saving
awav on one of their curious-lookin9
fiddles. When I came up to him /
stopped and said: Hello, John! what
are you doing here?"
"Me play fiddle-ee," said John.

Until OF late no better or more
industrious drinker was to be found
in all Silverland than was old Owen
Gibbs. He was always ready to
" stand in" with the first when q
drink was proposed and was the last
to leave a party where song, story
and glass were passing round. He
would drink as long as he could keep
his legs and talk as long as he could
open his mouth to drink.
Owen came early to the Pacific
Coast and most of the years of his
life have been spent in the noun.
tains and among the mines. He
wears the garb of a miner and has
no thought of ever living in any
country that does not produce gold or
silver. Though his face is now
wrinkled and his hair grizzled. all
his hopes still centre in mines.
"Once q miner, always miner" is,
in his case, . saying most true.
Old OVENS home is in little cab
in near the suburbs of the town of
Sutro, where he has o mining claim.
He has been watching this claim for
years, waiting for the Sutro tunnel
to pass through it. He is confident
that the tunnel has now tapped his
lode and developed one equal in
richness to anything found on the
Comstock. He is also quite sure
that the ore thus discovered has
been slowed away out of sight by
the tunnel folk, and says no one will
know of the " "find'' until the head
men of the company are ready to let
the public into the secret of their
discoveries. Then he will be able
to step forward and claim his own.
Being thus confident that his for
tune is made. Owen Gibbs takes
the world easy. Provided there is
-four in the sack, bacon on the shelf
and little tea, coffee and suger in
certain old fruit and oyster cans,
Owen is at peace with himself and
all the world.
Formerly old Owen would not
have been content unless there was a
big-bellied black bottle that he could
draw from secret nook when he
felt inclined, but now his notions in
that respect have undergone q great
change. Much to the astonishment
of all his old "49-er" friends he can
not ut present be induced to take a
drop Of liquor of any kind-the mild
est beverages equally with the strong
est being pushed aside and sternly
refused.
Hitherto Owen has been very reti-
