THE YOUNG RECRUITS.

The ladder bent beneath MatifouS
weight as he went up the side. AS soon
as he and Pescade reached the deck they
were taken aft to the Doctor.
After cordial "good morning"
several formalities and ceremonies had
to he gone through before the visitors
would consent to sit down. At last they
did SO.
The Doctor looked ut them for min

ereltly. But there could be no doubt
ing that if the smile was not Oh his lips

Matifou gavean affirmative sign which

down.
"Be it So" said the Doctor, "but that
is not all, for your companion has risked
his life, and consider am under an
obligation to him."
"Ohl Doctor, " replied Point Pescade,
"you will make my old Cape blush, and
it will never do to let the blood rush to
his head"
"Well. my friend" continued the
Doctor, al see you do not care for COM

ALREADY And how?" asked the
Doctor, who began to think that he had
been anticipated.
"Undoubtedly| replied Pescade.
"After that extraordinary exhibition OF
stren2 til on the part of our Hercules,
the public were anxious to judge for
themselves of his powers under more
artistic conditions And so they came
in crowds to our provencal arena. Cape
Matifou threw half dozen Of the stout

"And how much ?"
"Forty-two forms r.
"Oh! indeed! But did not know
that !" answered the Doctor, good
humoredly. IF I had known that you
were giving performance should have
made it duty and pleasure to be
present. You will allow me then to pay
for my seat"
This evening, Doctor" answered
Point Pescade. "if You come to honor
our efforts with your presence.
Cape Matifou bowed politely and
shrugged up his hinge shoulders,
(which had never yet bitten the dust,

Thnt is to say, Cape Mstifou, added
Pescade, not without some pride III
mentioning ;t.nanlo of such renown III
the arenas of the south of France.
"But those are A1lrnames," observed
the Doctor. ..

cade; "or if we had. our pockets got out
OF repair and we lost them on the road. "
"And-your relations?"
Relations, Doctor Our means
have never allowed US such luxuries |!
But if we ever get rich, we can easily
find them"
You are Frenchmen? From what
part of France?"
From Provence, said Pescade,
proudly "that is to say we are French
men twice over"
"You are facetious, Point Pescade!"
THAT is my trade. Just imagine a
clown with red tail. q street jester with
o solemn humor. He would get more
apples i'll an hour than he could eat in q
lifetime! Yes 1 am rather lively
extremely lively, must admit.
"And Cape Matifou?"
"Cape Matifou is more serious, more
thoughtful, more everything!" said
Point Pescade, giving his companion a
friendly pat mnch as if he were caress-
ing horse. THAT is his trade also
When you are pitching halt-hundreds
about You have to be serious When
You wrestle you not only use your arms
but your head! And Cape Matifou has
always been wrestling with misery !!
And he has not yet been thrown!"
The Doctor listened with interest to
the brave lit le fellow who brought no
complaint against the fate that had used
him. SO ILL., He saw that he possessed as
much heart as intelligence. and won
dered what he would have become had
material means not failed him at the
outset of life.
And where are you going now?" he
asked.
"Where chance leads u.s." answered
Point Pescade. And it is not always
a bud guide. for it generally knows the
roads, although fancy 1t has taken us
rather too far away from home this time.
After all. that is our fault. We ought to
have asked where it WAS going"
The Doctor looked ut them both for q
minute. Then he continued:
"What can do for you:"
Nothing. sir answered Pescade

Thomas Murphy, a we'll known
mining operator who has been open
ing up the Fulton claim on Mount
Dixie, west of the Pilgrim mine, up
Beaver gulch, near Sawtooth, came
down to-day, on his way to San Fran
cisco, to winter, and will leave by rail
tomorrow.
Mr.. Murphy reports the Fulton
mine looking first rate. The tunnel
is in 235 feet, 200 feet of which shows
ore. The ore vein on the foot wall is
to 10 inches thick, and the ore is
black sulphuret, which averages
$453.57 per ton. The owners
Messrs. Florence Mccarthy and
Thomas Murphy-are men of means
and prefer to wait until silver en-

weather favors him he can get the
building ready for occupancy by the

trustees will hardly cover the cost of
getting the school in operation, how
ever. Only bonds amounting to $780,
