1t was Crawford Mills who was
hired next. He knew neither of the
other boys, and so did his errands in
blissful ignorance of the "long box"
until the second morning of his stay,
when, in q leisure hour, he was semitic
put it in order. The morning passed,
dinner time came, and still Crawford
had not appeared from the attic. AT
last Mr.. Peters called him. "Got

"No, sir; there is ever so much
more to do" @ @
GAIL right. 1t is dinner time now.
You may go back to it after din

After dinner back he went. All
the short afternoon hewas not heard
from but just as Mr.. Peters was de-
Gliding to call him again, he appeared,
/ "I've done my best, sir" he said,

"This," was five dollar gold piece.
"That's a queer place for gold,"
said Mr.. Peters. It's good you found
it. Well, sir, | suppose you will be
ON hand tomorrow morning ?" This
he said as he was putting the gold
piece in his pocket book.
After Crawford had said good night
and gone, Mr.. Peters took the Ian
tern and went slowly up the attic
stairs. There was the long, deep box
in which the rubbish of % years had
gathered. Crawford had evidently
been to the bottom. He had fitted
shingles to make compartments, and
in these different rooms he had placed
the articles, with bits of shingles laid
on top, and labeled thus: "Good
screws" "Picture nails" "Small
keys, somewhat bent" "Picture
hooks" "Pieces of iron whose use l
don't hnow." And so on through the
long box. In perfect order it was at
last, and very little that really
could be called useful, could be
found within it. But Mr.. Peters,
as he bent over and read the labels,
laughed gleefully, and murmured to
the mice, "Ifwe are not both mistak-

Sure enough. The sign disappear

of the Pacific, San Francisco, Cal,
January 8, 1883. Weather. The
month opened with a we'll marked
storm, central off the mouth of the
Columbia River. This storm was
accompanied by high winds, and a
rain area covering the entire Pacific
Coast. This was succeeded by a
number OF weak storms which passed
to the east, giving almost constant
rain in Oregon and Washington Terri
tory until the 18th, and light rain in
Northern California on the 4th, 18th,
Sth, and 18th. From the 10th to the
23d the weather was fair in all dis
tricts. This period OF fine weather
was broken by light storm on the
oath, which gave rain as far south as
Fresno, in California, and by severe
storm of the 9th, which, rapidly
spreading to the south, was accom-
panied by high winds and copious
rainfall, extending from San Diego in
the south to Cape Flattery in the
north. During the greater portion Of
month the weather was warmer than
the average December weather, the
last ten days, however, being colder
than usual.
Temperature month has been
warmer than usual in all of the Pa
cific coast districts. In California the
departures from the normal mean
perature were small, averaging
about one degree. In Oregon and
Washington Territory they were
larger, averaging three degrees for the
coast districts, and from five to ten
degrees for the interior.
Rainfall.-The rainfall has been in
excess of the average December rain

tory, and below it in California. The
greatest excess is found near Puget
Sound, where it amounts to five
inches. Thence it diminishes in all
directions, becoming two inches in
southern Oregon, and a half inch in
eastern Washington Territory. The
greatest deficiency occurred in the
northern portion of the Sacramento
valley, amounting to over two inches.
In the remaining portions of the
State the deficiency ranges from one.

until every chip on the table was in the
pot, which now represented $3.50, and
still they all stayed. -,
Then pockets we're ransacked for small
change, and, after all the subsidiary coin
in the party had been dumped into the
pot, dollar bills and Bland cartwheels were
laid upon the pile and bet by fractions
until they belonged to the pot also. and
still there were no signs Of weakness on
players. Somebody then put q $5 bill on
the pile and took silver dollars in place of
it, and the betting went around few
times more. There was then between 32l
and $22 in the pot. and it looked as
though that hand would last until the mid
night hour was reached. The pot grew
and thrived until it contained &29 worth
of chips and solid cash, and then some
one called. 1t was the dealer, and he said:
THAT pots big enough for q l0-cent
limit, and so please all show up" :,
opened the pot. and he held back little.
Each had drawn one card, and there were
four fulls-an ace full on tens, a jack full
on queens, nine full on deuces, and
seven full on kings. The other man then
spread out four fours and an ace, coolly re-
marking az he did 40:
III had them fours in the start, and !
drew one card just to fool you fellows. l
guess the pots mine, gentlemen" and he
began TO paw the pile over.
By this time four disgusted men we're
kicking themselves all over the room and
butting their heads against window cas-.
ings and furniture, and there was some
tall and loud swearing by an angry quar-.
tet OF bass and tenor voices. just then the
town clock struck twelve. Accounts were
speedily settled. The last hand had been
