I'D like to hear a story said Ava,

dressed" Grandma laughed at that
You see, Ava was always wanting to-
hear story ''for cause" of one thing.
or another. And grandma almost al
ways had story to tell. This time she
cuddled Ava up in her lap, red flannel
nightie and ali, and held out the two
cold little feet to The fire.
"a good many years ago there l1Sed

she was so lame that she hardly took a.
step without crutches, and for long
time she didn't walk at ALL She had to-
be carried to the table, and to bed, and
to the window, where she used to sit for
hours and hours, and very often she
cried, softly, so nobody would hear,
because the doctor had said he didn't
think she would ever walk in all her
life again"
''Oh dearr' whispered Ava. 'Don't

''But one day." went on grandma.
while the little girl was sitting at the,
window looking out across the field,
where wheat had grown in the SUMMER

something happened. Out from among.
the trees came pretty creature, very
much like deer, though the little girl
had never seen a deer then, so she
didn't know. 1t had branching horns
and short tail and reddish-gray hair
and it wasn't much larger than hall

The little girl scarcely dared 70
breathe for fear of frightening y
away. She watched it lift its head and
sniff the air, and finally came out IN the
| wheat-field and began to paw the snow
away, and eat the wheat-stubble.
'sWhat fun it was! Marcella didn't
cry tear all that day, not even after
the little creature had gone away.

BEN 1
Honor Paid the Remains of q Former
Resident Of Butte.

MI. d. Arthur returned from Bismarck
yesterday. He expresses himself in the
kindest terms Of the treatment accorded
himself and his dead brother, by the gener-
ous-hearted people of Bismarck. He re-
ceived the greatest sympathy and kindness
from the people. OF his brothers burial
the Bismarck Tribune says: ID. K. Ar
thur, brother of the late Ben Arthur, who
died at the Pacific House last Wednesday
night, arrived from Butte, Montana, yes
terdoy evening. He has arranged for the
funeral, which will take place from the
Presbyterian Church at 2 o'clock this after
noon. 1t is indeed a very sad mission for
the young man, who arrived in the city
last evening, and he may rest assured that
the sympathy Of the entire community is
extended. Ben Arthur was "a years ofage,
and was far above the average man, intel
lectually as well as physically. The fact
that he had been engaged in a few sparring
exhibitions may have placed a veil between
him and the better element OF society, but
a conversation with his brother readily
%convinces you that these acts were simply
manifestations OF a boyish pride, which was
fostered and encouraged by older and de-
signing minds. The family lived in Salt
Lake City, where the deceased was popular
among all classes. He was born in Salt
Lake City February IA, 1861. In 1881 he
went to Butte City, where he obtained re-
sponsible positions in the Belle mine. Here
he also gained hosts OF friends and was a
favorite among the employers and en-
ployed. He had been in Bismarck but a
few weeks before his death and during his
brief residence here won many friends. A
mourning brother is now in Bismarck, but
who can measure the grief Of the mother,
who has been watching and waiting for the
return of her boy. The pail bearers will be
Messrs. George Elders, Charles Vincent,
Rodney Smith, Edward Patterson, Thomas
| Clarke, M. McClear, Owen Farley and M.
O'Shea."

FLOODS IN CALIFORNIA.
Five Days of Incesssant Rain-Daneer
Inv WashOuts

SAN FRANCISCO, November 2O.-1t has
rained almost steadily throughout
the State for five days. 1t cleared off thi s
morning butts raining harder than ever to-
night. The total fall for the mont up to
8 O'Clock this evening is S.O7 inches. This
has never been exceeded, except, perhaps, In
the year 1879. when lis inches fell during
October and November. Judging from the
rainfall tonight the probabilities are that
before the present month is ended that
record will be exceeded. Reports from Los
Angeles tonight state that portions OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad between SePui.
veda and San Fernando have been washed
out, and hat the San Ferindo tunnel has
caved in several places. The damage
SO far, however, is not considered
serious. A dispatch tonight states
that Charles Croker and party,
who left som days ago for the East, are
detained by floods on the Colorado desert.
They have started back OF their return to
| this city. The Northern Pacific has sent
out construction trains to all points where
washouts are reported. Heavy washouts
are also reported on the California South
ern Railroad, which connects with the At
lantic & Pacific Road. The railroad bridge
in Cajon Pass on the California Southern
washed away, and the atlantic q Pacltc
track near Ludlow Station is badly washed
out in several places.
A cloud burst in Devils Canyon, near San
| Bernardino. last night destroyed the toll
road for some distance. The gate keeper and
his family barely escaped drowning. Dam
ages from floods are also reported from
many other points in the State.

AmuSementS.

Despite the inclemency OF the weather, a
large audience gathered within the Grand
Opera House, last evening, to witness the
second presentation Of "Love and Law
by the Mobiles Company. The the play was
given in an artistic and therefore satisfac-
tory manner, and the stage settings were
very fine. The audience was an apprecia-
tive one and gave frequent evidence OF its
satisfaction by spontaneous applause.
At the matinee to-day, Mr.. Mobiles play
OF "Interviews' will be presented, the only
time during this engagement. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly funny play, dealing with the trials
and vicissitudes OF the newspaper inter-
viewer.
This evening, at the closing performance,
"a Man of the People, will be the play.
OF it the San Francisco Newsletter says:
"A Man of the People is a better play
than The Phenix,' but Of the same class.
Mr.. Milton Mobiles as Jack Ryder was
quaint and epigrammatic, full of odd old
saws and modern instances, and above all,
natural. Mr.. Mobiles is a really clever
actor, and has the knack OF holding his
audience well in hand while he is on the
stage. The company works extremely well
together"

A PHILADELPHIA SCANDAL.
Mysterious Disappearance of Deacon
Sutch.

PHILADELPHIA, November 19.-Roxbor-
ough is excited over the mysterious dlsap-
pearance of Deacon Edwin 8. Sutch, OF the
Central M. E. Church. His vile and six
children, for whom he made no provisions
are disconsolate, but his better hall be-
lieves in her husbands honesty. She says
there is q conspiracy on foot to ruin
him. Mrs. Robert Poster q sister.in-
law of Sutch, accused him of undue
familiarity with her half sister, a young
lady who had been living in Sutch's family
for o wear past. Sutch vigorously denied
the charge, but the sister reiterated it and
the story spread through the town. Soon
afterward Sutch ostensibly started for this
city and has not been seen since. The
young lady whose name was connected
with That Of Sutch has also disappeared.
Mrs. Sutch says she wouldn't believe him
guilty if everybody in the world were to
charge him with the crime" Her husband
she says, 'has been in great trouble Tor
some time past. l fear that his mind ID de-
ranged and he has made way with himself,
but 1 hope he will return"
Deacon Sutch was charged with undue Ia
miliarity with Ada Irene Creeger, a niece OF
the celebrated koniacker, Colonel William
Creeger, in January, 1882. 1t was alleged
that he overlook her one Sunday evening
on her way from church, prohered her the
use of an umbrella and kissed her. Magls-
trate Barr held him then in $1,000 Tor
court. but the grand jury ignored the bill.
The brethren and sisters of Deacon Sutch's
church stood by him in that trial and
voted that he was the victim of malice and
falsehood.
