Rudely, without word, he passes her by,

Down the moonlit path he goes toward
the lake then suddenly he becomes aware
that some one is there before him-some one
in soft, white robe who turns toward him

lovelest face in the wide world.

The music fingers for a moment, Gibbs,
then dies away, and he wakes from the spell
to the full realization that for him the future
holds only the endless, nameless pain her

fought and Miss Neill meets him in the

remembered a story which Thackeray
was very fond of telling at the dinner table.
1t was told him by an American sea captain
of one the steamship lines-a great friend Of
his, this captain. Thackeray used to delight
in initiating the old salts Connecticut
twang.
1t seems that on certain voyage there
happened to be very fascinating American
belle lust returned FROM triumphaDG tour of
Europe. On the steamer there were four
young fellows particularly attentive to her.
Each handsome in his way, and all of them
eligible as far as money conditions go. They
had proposed successfully, and been evaded.
The question with the young lady was which
one of the four she would accept.
In her dilemma she consulted the captain,
who was sort of father to all his passen-
gers.
''You like 'em all pretty much, and don't
know whicn one you like the best that's
about it, amt it ?" asked the old captain.
'That's Just the trouble" replied the
maiden.
Skin you swim2"
eyes, little bit"
"Well, now I'll just fix you all straight in
a iiffg. Tomorrow mornin's going to be fine
weather. III slack the speed while, and
| you get the four fellows round you, and
while they'r just talkin' to you for all their
| wu'th. you fall overheard. One of 'em'll be
sure to jump in after you. An that one you
kin marry. I'll be ready to jump in aftei
| you myself if one of 'em don't start, and be-
sides that, the boats'll be lowered, an you
won't run any risk.
The young girl thought it capital plan
romantic and feasible. She carried it Out
to the letter.
But the best laid plans oft go astray
When she fell overheard three of the young
men jumped in to rescue her.
After she had been pulled out, congratu
lated and reclothed she sought the author ol
the plan Indignantly.
''Now, captain, the thing did't work nice
ly at ALL What am to do ?"
"What's the matter with it ?"
"Why, three of them rescued me-"
''Well, what of that?"
, "Why, can't accept the three"
NO." said the captain; "what you'l
have to do is to take the feller that didn
jump in"

Feminine wit Came to ner Aid.

1t was not long ago that friend of ours
was travelling with party of excursionists
in the mining regions of Pennsylvania. She
was single lady, and did not know any of
her male companions even by name. She
went down into mine with the other tour
lists, and with woman's natural curiosity
thought she would investigate little for
herself. The consequence was that she got
lost and found herself in labyrinthine pas
sage, whose windings she could not follow
to the sunlight Vague visions of death by
starvation floated before her mind, and she
was puzzled for few minutes to know what
to do. Feminine wit finally came to her aid
and she shouted at the top of her voice,
John ~ Presently the answer came back,
sWhat do you want ~ 81 wish you would
help me to find my way out of this hole,
was the reply, and almost immediately q
manly form was at her side which dexter
ously piloted her to the open day. She was
not acquainted with her kind rescuer, bu
she said she was suTe there was John il
every crowd, and could make no mistake i
she called for him,

New Quartz MIL.

EDS. RECORD UNION The mining indus
try is looking up" in this section, and
great activity is seen on all hands through
out the quartz-bearing region. New shafts
are being sunk, old ones driven to greater
depths, and extensive prospecting forinew
q" finds are the order of the day. Some
good mines are being located, and new ma
chinery for enlarged works are being con-
structed at some of The established and
well known mines. At the North Star
mine, two miles from this place, a new
forty-stamp mill is being erected, adjoining
the hosting works. 1t is being built by
William c. D. Dody, and viii cost SEQ, 900.
The outlook here, both in mining and gen.
eral business, is good. There are active in
quiries constantly in these parts for lands
upon which to locate, build houses and en-
gage in agriculture and fruit raising, and
many are buying and commencing to clear.
We are looking forward to largely-increased
population and prosperity within the ensu-
ing two years, and are confident we shall
not be disappointed. 2.

snecia1 Baseball Game.

Tomorrow afternoon, at Agricultural
Park, there will be a special game between
the Atlas and GREENWOOD d Morans, of
Oakland, which will without doubt be a
fine contest if the managers are careful in
the selection of an umpire and abide by
his decisions without dispute. 1t is i'm
possible to convince Sacramentans that the
" Pets - were not to blame for the failure of
the last two games between these mines to
be played to a finish, and the Stocktonians
side with the Sacramentans relative to the
game they saw but, on the other hand, 1t
will be equally as difficult to convince Oak
landers that the Atlas were not in the
wrong. There is another point, however,
to be considered. The public pay to see a
full game, as they would complete theat-
ricat performance, and a few failures to
give the moneys worth will make the
aforesaid public shy, resulting in q disas-
trous falling off of patronage. The officers
of the League and the managers OF clubs
should see to it that competent and impair
tial umpires are on duty, and then compel
obedience to the decisions, allowing only
the Captains of mines to do the talking for
the players During the season Just closed
the Atlas gained a creditable reputation for
good discipline and they made friends
everywhere by their quiet demeanor. 1t
would greatly increase the pleasure of spec
tators, and consequently the financial re-
turns, if the other clubs acted in the same
manner. Dissatisfied players means dis
satisfied and grumbling assemblage of spec
tators. In to-morrow's game the Oakland
club viii have the support of those first
class players, just returned from the East,
Denny and Cahill; while the Atlas will
have Hen. Moore, the excellent left-fielder,
who played with them last Sunday.

The Missing Horse and Buggy.

Last Monday mention was made in the
RECORD [ MON that Abe Duncan left word
with the police on the previous day that
some one had taken his horse and cart
from in front of Jake's Five Mile House,
near Brighton, Saturday evening. Also,
that r. II. Platt notified the police on Sun
day that while he was riding at Oak Knoll,
Saturday evening, another vehicle collided
with his, causing him to be thrown out,
and that his horse ran away with the
buggy and was not heard from afterwards.
1t subsequently transpired that Plat re-
turned on Sunday to H. B. Carley's stables,
with a horse and cart, which he said was
the rig that collided with him. and which
he claimed to have caught after Inc acct
dent and taken possession Of The horse
and cart were those stolen from in front of
the Five Mile House, and the impression
was that whoever appropriated them Sat
urday evening turned the horse loose in
the road. Mr.. Duncan searched the coun-
try thoroughly Saturday night for his
property, and on Sunday sent a dispatch
dispatched a man to that place TO make
inquiry whether the turnout had
been seen there. That evening or
next day he learned that the horse and cart
were at Mr.. Carley's stable. He proceeded
to do a little detective work, and claims
that he is satisfied that Plat was the. one
who took the horse from the Five-Mile
House, that he drove up to Folsom imme-
diately afterwards, made short stop, and
then drove back to the city, and the COLI
sion at Oak Knoll existed only in his inn
agination. So far the horse and buggy
which Platt left the city with, and which
belonged to Mr.. Carley, have not been
heard from. Plat either could not or
would not tell what he did with them.
Last Wednesday Carley swore out a war
rant for Platt's arrest, on a charge of felony
embezzlement, but he seems to have
skipped the town." as the officers have
been unable 10 find him.

Insane Because of Epilepsy.

Oranzo Lee came to Sacramento few
months ago from San Francisco, looking
for employment, and worked when he
could obtain il. He was also a Jealous
member of the Salvation Army. For some
time he has been subject to a form of cpl
lepsy. and the disease increased its attacks
to such frequence that about week ago he
was admitted to the County Hospital.
Since his admission to that institution he
has had as many as forty-five epileptic at
tacks in one day His mind became af-
fected in consequence and he is dangerous
10 be at large, having at times a mania that
people want to kill him. One day, when
under the influence of one of the attacks of
the disease, he wrapped a sack around his
head to serve as a helmet, and then seized
q crowbar and went after the blacksmith,
whom he considered to be one Of his enc
mics. While deeply interested in religious
matters, he is not insane upon that subject.
It is necessary that he should either be kept
in confinement or under the influence of
drugs to prevent his doing harm and, as
there is no suitable place at the hospital to
keep him, DR.. White yesterday sent him
to the county jail, that he might be exam
ined by the Commissioners of Lunacy and
committed to the Asylum, or some place
where he can be properly cared for.
