Emory, you remember the doctor said
she must be kept quiet"
1t was Jack Crawford who spoke. The
younger man arose.
Yes,n he assented, husllily, " she
cannot bear agitation. Perhaps you can
soothe her to Sleep
He turned away and the next moment
was strdlng up the mountain as if hop
ing to escape the torture that filled his
heart.
"Good God, is it possible that that
child has learned to care for me-" he
asked himself. "And have / done aught
to win her love. No, God knows / never
dreamed of such thing. / looked upon
her as a child-a guileless child to whom
the sentiment of love was unknown
Dave Poole was the first man he met
when he returned to camp an hour later.
GLOW is Clipperg" he asked, glad
that it was too dark for the man to Oh
serve his agitated air.
"On the home stretch, ! reckon, poor
little gal She's been asking for you" "
he responded, blowing his nose vigorously,
hoping thereby to keep the tears from
his eyes.
Emory stepped softly into the tent
where she lay Death was dealing gently
with her-aye, even more gently than
life had A drawn look about the mouth
was the only visible trace of his presence.
Seeing her lips move, he drew near.
Bury me-out on the hill-where we
went one day-to git flowers. 1t is
higher heaven up there" was what she
said.
The day that she was laid to rest on
the hill that was nearest heaven the
miners gathered around the grave and
sang "The Sweet BY and By" for
her requiem. 1t was the only sacred
song they knew, and they sang it with
fervor as if each hoped to meet poor
little Clipper again "on that beautiful
shore"
Clip rather enjoyed the excitement,
probably for the reason that he did not
comprehend his loss. The miners spoke
more gently to him. The best of every
thing in the way of food was given him,
and taking it all together he had very
good time.
In the years which followed, Emory
tried, for Clippers sake, TO make an
honest man of her brother but, as the
poor child expressed it, "he'd steal every
chance he got" and at last reports Clip
was serving, gratuitously, the State OF
| California

HE SAID:

That he vowed by the heavens blue
BY the silvery moon and the shining stars
To ever prove leal and true.
"Men change, It's true" he said, "but ohl

"No fear or doubts beloved, have /,
For deep in this heart OF mine
Is love that win never dim or die,

He gave her ring and a fond caress,
While her tears like a torrent fell
AS with falt'ring words and in sore distress,
He bade her long farewell.
But the man in the moon, who had often
viewed
Such tender scenes, Iween,

Quoth the man in the moon "It's exactly
now
As 1t was when the world began;
No weaker thing than woman's VOW,
Excepting the vows Of a man."
These things have given the man in the
moon
Such cynical views of life
That this is the reason he lives alone,
And never has taken wife

Mining

John w. Mackey, the California bo-
nanza king, said to u reporter for the
St. Paul Pioneer Press: " Mining is the
most precarious business in the world. "
"You can well afford to say it, y the
reporter retorted, with $50, 600, 600 to
your credit. But did you think so in
1869, VIXEN you were pushing an ore car
in the Ophir mine y
u knew it then only in theory; for
my salary of 81 day was always sure,
and my wants were simple. You always
hear of the successful miners. The men
who disappear and are lost in Pauper
alley are not so often quoted"

SOME DAY.

Some day 1 shall be dead,
Some day this tired head
With ell the anxious thoughts it now doth
know,
Shall be laid low.
This body, pain-racked, i'll,
Shall lie at length, and still,
Under the clover and the wind-swept grass,
Nor hear you. pass.
That were, indeed, strange sleep,
When even you might weep,
And come, and go-even you-unheard OF me
As bird OF bee.
Nay, sweetheart, nay! believe
Here is no cause to grieve.
One so wayworn, of trouble SO opprest,
Is glad of rest.
Perchance, when that release
Hath wrought its spell of peace,
Ger this unquiet heart, long vext with woe,
Hearts-ease may grow.
Who loves me will not weep
When that l lie asleep,
But rather Joy to think such sorrow may
Have end some day.

The Riches Of Arizona.

Governor Tritie, of Arizona, has made
report upon the progress and develop
ment of that Territory. The Territory
now claims population of $4,000 and
$50, 600, 600 in taxable property. The
dangerous and disturbing elements
which have been such forcible factors in
checking progress are now well under
control. The value of the gold and sill
yer products for the year ended Decem
ber 81, 1882, is 50, 29s, 267, against
SS, 1913, 766 in 1881 The yield Of copper
in 1882 was 5000, 600 pounds. The
combined value of the silver and copper
product for 1888 will be between fifteen
and sixteen millions of dollars. This
will place Arizona second on the list of
bullion producers. Figures are given
showing that herd of 100 head of cat
tie will in five years, by natural increase,
number 302 head. The number of sheep
in the Territory is placed at 300, 600,
producing 2,400, 600 pounds of wool
yearly. Congress is asked to provide for
the boring of artesian wells, for geo

at the table with pile Of coin before
him there lay at his hand twenty-dol-

contained mirror. BY holding this at an
angle of forty-fve degrees behind a stack
of coin in front of the dealer he could
see every card held by his opponents.
He was recently arrested at Portland,
Oregon, with three false pieces in his

Some Odd Pits in California

The English spell the name of Pit
River with an additional letter, as if af-
ter the name of an eminent statesman.
But think the above is right, as the
name is certainly derived from the deep
and dangerous pits that once made a
vast region known as Pit River Valley
very dangerous ground for strangers.
These pits, dug in trails and passes by
squaws, who carried the dirt away in
baskets, were from 10 or 20 feet deep,
jug-shaped and covered with twigs and
reeds and leaves. At the bottom lay
sharpened elk and deer antlers; and
sometimes they sharpened fints and
spears pointed up to receive the victim
Even if one were not disemboweled on
first falling into the pit, the ugly shape
of it made it not only impossible for
man, but even the most savage and sup
pie wild beast, to climb again to the
light and darkness and lingering death
was the inevitable end. These pits, of
course, made the land terror, and it
was not until as late as 1856 that this
most lovely valley in all California was
fairly possessed by settlers. Once in
possession, the white man of course soon
found out and marked the location of
the secret pits, and they gradually filled
up as they fell into disuse.
