overheard a conversation between two
poor specimens of cabmen who were
quarrelling about something on the

usually beginning with a b and

CHAPTER VII.
JENKINS RETREAT,

JENhlNo kETltEAT.
Amid the sorrows in which Drane was
again involved, he had one consolation
the young woman with thirteen mill
ions evidently felt almost as badly as
he did. He heard her tell Mrs. Bowers
that tho judicial blacksmith on tho
bench was simply dreadful"
But this was not the best OF 1t; he
heard Mrs. Bowers reply. Only two
words, indeed, and as irrelevant as are
most feminine utterances in times Of
emergency: "Why, Bessiel'' was all she
said, or at least all that Drane heard,
but he was more than rejoiced. Her
name was Bessiel At last he had some-
thing to call her in his thoughts. 1t
was the first hint on tho subject. In
his Joy at this discovery he forgot to re-
gret that he didn't know the other half
Of her name. He watched her pour her
woes into Mrs. Bowers ear, and was
satisfied.
Such spectacle is always entertain
ing, for when q woman has embarrassed
q man by making blunder, If she is
not too stupid to see 1t, nor too proud to
acknowledge it, nor too nervous to know
what she is about, she will sometimes
pity him divinely, II ho is reasonably
good-looking. And If she has begun to
feel little tenderly toward him, she
will often accuse herself unjustly, in
order that she may have the luxury Of
telling herself how sorry she is that she
has put him into difficulty.
That was why Bessie now gazed at
Drane with such angelic sympathy de-
picted upon her beautiful countenance.
She said In her heart that her testimony
had somehow helped to prove that he
was insane. 1t was question OF the
heart, and In such cases a woman never
allows an appeal TO the higher tribunal
OF the mind. So Bessie acted upon her
first impulse and implored Mrs. Bowers
TO do something, no matter what 1t was.
With Mrs. Bowers 1t was question
neither Of the heart nor Of the mind, but
Of the conscience. Therefore she de-
cided 10 DO merciless, but just 1t was
her plain duty to protect Bessie from
impostors, fortune hunters and lunatics;
90 she frowned at Drane in way that
gave him chill to supplement the fever
which Bessie's tender glances had put
into his blood. ....-.
"Where will they send him now?"
asked Bessie, shuddering.
Probably TO Wards Island, tempo
rarily," replied Mrs. Bowers.
"Will they be good TO him thereT'
"He will be cared for" said Mrs. Bow
ers, sternly; land fod-to q certain ex-
tent"
"oh, myr' cried Bessie, tearfully.
Cant we take him home with usP You
have been so kind to me that look
upon your house as home now, you
know"
81 couldn't think OF such thing"
Mrs. Bowers said, firmly. 81 can not
have o lunatic in my house. 1t is all
that can do to look out for you"

NAMES GOLD FIELDS.

The Outlook Considered Remarkably
Good by Old Miners.

tells an interesting story in connection
with his visit TO this city
81 am here" he said, Ito purchase

Tree State. That sounds strange, but 1t
Is fact nevertheless The finding OF
gold near Augusta has caused little
futter which will grow into tho widest
kind OF excitement when the full extent
Of Names hidden wealth is given to the
public The gold belt is fifteen miles
In width, extending from the Sandy
river to the Androscoggin. In every
mountain quartz rock, much OF 1t bear
ing gold, is found. This territory has
Just been prospected, and tho estimate
Of gold is up in tho millions
"Tho discovery was made by an old
California miner Of tho name OF Nor

metals for the last fifty years lie re-
turned to his Augusta homo from the

did not return TO Augusta till 1857. He
brought number OF tools With him,

Of the gold deposits and they laughed

State Of Maine seemed ludicrous. Last
