the beginning of the heaviest and the long

show. For two nights and day the snow
came down in what may almost be called
drifting masses. During that dismal day
saw from the window the heaps against the
wall grow deeper and deeper, and even in
my preoccupied state of mind found myself
marveling at the sustained fury of the storm.
At eleven o'clock at night l sadly gave nm
all hope of the much-needed assistance ar
irving. After all, it seemed that William
had found it impossible to fight against the
weather; SO made my preparations for an
other night OF solitary watchfulness. My

my smiles now were. "She will see to

''She is kind-she Is sweet" said Philip
pa, clasping her hands. Basil, am be-
ginning to worship your mother. But why
are We going abroad?'
ITO get away from sad thoughts, for one
thing; for another, because feel ill.'
She gave me quick look of apprehension
which brought the flush to my cheek. s'Oh,

this land Of ice and I will nurse you and make
you well. Where are we going? When are
We going?"

l wanted her. She soon came to me. She
had removed the stains of travel, and al
though pale, looked the perfection Of grace
ful beauty. l led her to my mothers room.
She stopped short as she saw it tenanted by
a lady. A quick blush crossed her cheek.
"Pnilippa, dearest" l said, this is my
mother. 1 have told her all, and she Is
waiting to welcome YOU"
Still she stood mOtionless save that her
head bent down and her bosom heaved. My
mother came to her side, and, placing her
kind arms round her, whispered some words
which neither heard nor tried to hear.
Philippa broke into storm of sobs, and for
some moments wept on my mothers shOuI-
der.
Then she raised her head and looked at
me, and my heart leaped at tho expression
in her fearful eyes. Basil. my brother, you
are too good to me!' she calculated.
My mother led her to the sofa, and. with
her arms still round her, sat down by her
side. l left them, knowing that my love
had now the truest, noblest heart to sob
against; the quickest most sympathetic ear
to listen to the tale of her wrongs; and the
softest, kindest voice to soothe and console
her.
An! how happy should have felt, could
that one nights dark work have been un-
done-could that white tomb forever hold
its CHASTITY secret!

a QUEER PIT IN A PLAIN.
What Puzzles the Folks OF Ash Fork
Where Water is Half Dollar
q Barrel.
From the Tucson Citizen.

From the Tucson Citizen.
In some sections of the northern portion
of Arizona the question of water supply,
even for domestic purposes, is a very Sc
rious one. This is particularly the case
at Ash Fork, station on the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad. A series of very
lovely and fertile valleys surrounded the
place and plenty of grass grows for the
support of large herds of cattle, but no
water can be had except from an occa-
sional tank" during the winter season..
At Ash Fork the railroad company at
tempted to sink an artesian well, but at
reaching a depth of some nine hundred
feet the drill became fastened and could
not be removed. Many futile attempts
were made to extract it, but at last it
was abandoned in despair. All water
now used at that station and by the resi-
dents Of the town is brought by rail from
Peach Springs, sixty-five miles to the
westward, and is sold at fifty cents per
barrel.
A short time ago prospector, stimu-
lated by the inquiry for water, reported
that he had discovered a huge well, about
eight miles from Ash Fork. sunk in
level plain. Parties at once repaired
thither with ropes and other paraphcr-
MALTA to explore the wondrous discovery.
They found the locality, but to this day
they do not know the exact nature OF
the curious cavern that met their gaze.
1t is located on a level plain and cannot
be seen until it is approached very near.
There is no evidence of earth or rock
having been removed from the pit, which
was found to be $50 in diameter and 800
feet deep, with perpendicular walls. No
one in the party was brave enough to
descend and explore the well" when
the rope had been lowered, and the ex-
plorers returned to Ash Fork scarcely
wiser than they were before their trip
1t is certainly a great curiosity and
there possible exists supply of water
somewhere in its depths or in the numer-
Gus caverns or tunnels that apparently
en- erge into the dark earth below from
this curious threshold of sunlight.

Edward VI. appears to have been the
first Englishman to wear a watch, and
this consisted of ''onne larum gilt with
two plummets of lead" that is to say, it
was driven by weights This is supposed
to have bee2 received by the king as a
present from Nuremburg, and was play
fully called Nuremburg animated egg.
The word watch was derived from an
Anglo Saxon word, meaning wake. The
first portable timepiece of which we have
any record was that of the Chinese pocket
dial mounted upon the head of a cane or
carried by chain round the neck Queen
Elizabeth had watch IN shape like a
Guck, with chased feathers, the lower part
OF which opened. and the face or dial of
silver ornamented with gilt design.
The outer case was of brass. and that in
turn was covered with black leather or
namented with silver studs. Mary Queen
OF Scots gave curious token of a.fec-
t on to her faithful maid of-of-honor,
Mary Seaton, in the shape of watch in
the form Of a skull. the dial occupying
the place of the palate and the works
that Of the brains. The hours were
marked in Roman letters. A bell in the
hollow of the saul received the works,
and hammer struck the hours.

ercy At that time her husband, Felix
Gregory de Fontane, well-known jour
nalist and war correspondent, was the
editor and publisher of paper in Column
bia. S. C. After the evacuation of Rich
mond a train-load of boxes, containing
public documents, etc, was shipped to
Columbia De Fontane needed paper on
which to print bis journal, but where to
get it was puazling problem. George
A. Trenholm happened to be in Column
bia at the time, and to him the journal
ist explained the situation. Go down,
said Trenholm, 'to the depot and help
yourself II some of the Confederate
boxes in which something may turn up

tame acted upon this, and one of the
boxes contained the Confederate Consti-

ever since. In 1882" remarked the re-
porters informant. II went abroad and
was commissioned to negotiate its sale to
the British Museum. As the custodian
of such papers was absent from England

half that sum would secure it now.

as to refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty. But this mess she will

He Likes a Good Fighter.

Indianapolis Journal.
Cleveland is very strange mana
very strange man, indeed, to be Presi-
dent, observed Southeastern represen-
tative, who had had several conversa-
tiOns with the Chief Executive. He
doesn't look at things the way other
Presidents have been used to looking at
them. Now, there is in my district
newspaper proprietor who ho'ds a very
prominent Federal Office. He is oneIof the
strongest republicans I ever saw. During
the recent campaign, his paper, which
has very large circulation, printed the
most fierce attacks upon Cleveland of any
paper in the country. They were telling
blows, and had great influence. When
Cleveland was inaugurated we all sup
posed, of course, that this officeholder
would be removed on the ground of be-
ing extensively partisan, and that the
civil service law would be referred to in
substantiation of his removal. Well,
copies of these articles attacking Cleve-
land were taken to him soon after the
4th of March. They were bitter, and in
clined to arouse him. A week ago
called upon the President. and inquired
if he had read these clippings. Yes
was the reply. i have read them with
great interest What do you think of
themY | asked, expecting to see an ex-
plosion. Well, said the President, they
are the most effective articles l have seen
l should think must have carried a good
deal of infiuence'-not seeming to be af-
fected. Can you keep a man in such a
prominent place after he had turned
such heavy battery upon you ? The
President looked me hard in the face,
then replied 1 admire a good fighter,
and would much prefer keeping this man
until his term expires, after reading these
clippings, than before. I have much
more respect for him thanif he had given
his party weak support. 1 think his
paper did me more harm than any
other that did not go into the scandal
especially like man who is decent in
making good fight"
