Pooling the Detectives.

"The arrest and prosecution of twen-
ty Cinnamon for unlawfully engaging
in hydraulic mining on the Omega
claim in Nevada County reminds me
of one scheme that the moonlighters
carried on up there which was pre-
eminent success" remarked an old
timer the other day to San Francisco
Examiner reporter. 4Some of the
boys had q claim up above Nevada
City that could only be reached by a
certain road; or, more properly speak
ing, a narrow pass in the rocks. The
Anti Debris spies learned that the
Illicit work was being done, and a
dozen times tried to raid the mine.
They were always too late. When they
got to the place, although it was ap-
parent that work was only just ceased,
no one was working, and those who
had been had made their escape.
"At length, after several months Of
persistent endeavor, the Anti-Debris
men discovered the reason of their
failures. In passing over the road
they touched an ingeniously arranged
rock in the path which was connected
with buried wire. By using q bat
terry the movement to the rock com
pleted an electric circuit which rang a
bell at the mine two miles away. Hav-
ing q warning at that distance, The
moonlighters had ample opportunity
to make themselves safe.

At about the same time the scenes we
have been describing were in progress,
Gilbert Msrlowe and Lawyer Croak were
seated together in the cottage of the lat
ter. as though in momentary expectation
Of some important piece OF intelligence.
They had been conyersing earnestly, but
the conversation had gradually tagged.
The Dom in which they were sitting was
mean looking and stingily furnished,
though the best one in the house; money
worship for moneys sake, rather than any
regard for worldly display, or even for
personal comfort, having ever been the
governing principle Of its proprietor.
A dilapidated table, furnished with two
cracked glasses, bottle Of brandy, and
Jug Of water, presented the only evil
dences Of hospitality having been at
tempted, ana at opposite sides Of the
table sat the lawyer and his guest, occa-
sionally exchanging few words, oftener
yawning, and still oftener interrogating
with glances more or less impatient an
old clock that was ticking away the mo-
rnents Of q misspent life in the misan-
thropic hope that the miserable but COW
eted end could not be far distant.
How annoying it is to have to wait fol

pause. However, all suspense must
have an end sooner or later. Try some

Every now and then. IS we journey
through this vale from the cradle to the
grave, it becomes necessary for us to
say good-by. Generally it is said in sad
ness and with a sigh. We wiring the
hand Of the departing friend, the sor-
rowful tears are shed, then the bell rings
and the train goes around the curve.
This Is the good-by that sticks In the
throat like a large three cornered lump
and persistently refuses to be swallowed.
After this kind Of a farewell we go home
feeling that something has gone out of
life. We are like the man who puts his
foot for another step at the top of the
dark stairway and finds suddenly that 1t
isn't there.
Then there is the farewell that Is said
with a hilarious chuckle Of joy. We say
1t to the bill collector. whom we have
with us always, or la had for a long
time. We say it to the bore, the spring
poet, to the man who reads the exchanges
and to the writer who invariably refers
to a bear as bruin.
The sweetest good-by is that of the
girl at her fathers front gate, when only
you or l n the girl and t~winkling stars
are present. To some of US it Is only a
memory, this kind OF a farewell, but it
Is a memory that will remain fresh and
green long after we have passed that
callow age.
The saddest good-by Is the one that Is
said by the side Of an open grave

made by COMPRISING common oowhide.
1t is composed of three thicknesses Of
the COW skin pressed into a steel mould,
and then subjected to a chemical prep

much lighter, that it lasts longer, and
that split hoofs are never known in horses
using it. 1t is perfectly smooth on the
bottom, no calks being required. the shoe
adhering firmly on the most polished
surface. Its elasticity prevents many
sprains, the horses steps being lighter
and surer. Straw, treated with chemi.

NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
That Is Again the Cry that Comes from

That Is Again the Cry that Comes from
Financial Circles.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade
says:
Stringency in commercial loans, noticed
last week as the chief cause of present dis
turbance, is now almost the only remaining
cause. In domestic affairs there has been
distinct improvement in the disposition of
banks and money-lenders to give necessary
speculative advances as far as possible. But
the volume of trade is still surpris-
ingly heavy, as clearing house eX-
changes prove and railroad earn
ings and the returns from many CEN
tiers of trade are larger than ever before at
this season. With time and a spirit of mu-
tual helpfulness the legitimate business OF
the country should soon recover its normal
state of health. Numerous and full reports
this week show that the cheapness ofscottOn
at the South and the delay of winter wealth
er at the North have somewhat reduced the
transactions and caused more hardness
in collections than heretofore, but colder
weather and the approach of the holiday
season already begin to have a favorable
effect at many points. In the Northwest,
while conservative feeling appears and
money is generally in sharp demand, there
is noted greater ease at Cincinnati and one
or two other points, and at Chicago neces-
sary advances for legitimate business are
made to the exclusion of long drawn out or
speculative demand, The country trade is
healthy and no fears for the future are
