1t appears that the Canadian Falls cut

the American Falls, with smaller

at Il rate OF less than one foot per an

thousand years seem sufficient to ac-

conveyed to the old gentleman, who
gave his name as Henry Scranton. He
seemed greatly astonished and disap-
pointed, and later in the day hired a
team of mountain ponies and drove out
towards the mining camps. On the
way he renewed his inquiries without
success. At last. however, he happened
to mention that PaYson came from
Boston.
'Thar's chap at Stevens Mill they
call Boston, said the man he adj
dressed. II reckon he'll know about
the man you re after. "
The wagon was driven to Stevens
stamp mill, and just as the old gentle
man was assisting the young lady to
alight, his eyes caught sight of famil-
lar figure directing some workmen a
hundred feet away. He started little,
took 4 long look at the man who had
attracted his attention. and then turned
to the young lady with an assumed ex-
preston of noRchalnece.
NJ Lar. he said, lin afraid we

Just occurred to me that there might

grams we received last winter.

asked, cor the placer

moved so that his tall form shielded her
from the group of workiugmen.

turned, laying his hand impressively
on her shoulder, ''but the man.
She let her cheek fall on the hand
upon her shoulder with the quiet pa
tiencs of dumb animal.

thing to do He drew her mantle
about her and held her close in ca
ressing manner. Now, if you will
just try 20 remember. Eunice, how
everything works together for good,
and how apt sorrow is to turn into
joy
She burst the mantle apart and laid
her hands upon his arms.
Father she cried, 'what JOY
could come to me now?"
He stepped aside and pointed to the
central figure of the group of men.
Whatever the emotion she experienced,
it swept over her like flood and car
ried away on its tide the detection and
the misery that made her face remark
able. She made no sound, but stood
like one entranced, while her mind and
her heart adjusted themselves to fresh
circumstances Then she walked
quickly up to the group of men and laid
her hand against the arm of the tall,
fair one who was directing the others.
'-You see, I've found you, George, "
she said, softly.
Then, as he turned toward her and
showed his recognition in a quick flush
of joyous incredulity, the cry that
could be restrained no longer broke
from her lips, and, throwing herself
upon heap of dried branches on the
ground. she sobbed as if she had found
her life's sorrow instead of its joy.

\ Generous Deed.

A pretty story is told in late
issue of the New York Tribune" A
feeble old lady, poorly clad. got into q
street car and let a nickel drop, which
she had just received from the condue-
tor in change. The piece fell in be
tween the gratings of the floor. and at.
ter short search was given up as lost
the old lady too feeble to make the
extra exertion necessary to recover 1t.
As she settled back in her seat with a
sigh of regret, q gentleman opposite
stopped down and affecting to pick up
the missing coin, reached over and
placed something in her lap. As the
old lady discovered the presence of q
gold coin left by the stranger. a gen.
tleman sitting near whispered to heg
the name of the dopor. He is one d
the best known phiIanthropists IN New
York. and member of a family noted
far and wide for its countless good
deeds.
