But she is a ao0nldn, and, as the sole
representative of her sex in this wild
little camp, is gazed upon by the four
hundred men of Carterville with feel
ings akin to worship; and the lucky
man who is so fortunate as to receive
the lady's gracious permission to carry
her bundles home from the store is for
days thereafter the object of wildly
green jealousy on the part of his CON-
panions.
A figure emerges from the front door
of the Herrick mansion. 1t is Doc
Starr, who hastily mounts his horse
and gallops wildly up the street, fol-
lowed by a swirling cloud of white
dust.
'Gawge," snoozing on the bench,
awakens from his clumber and gazes
at the coming horseman in blinking
surprise, for Doc Starr is usually merci-
full unto his heest, and this unwonted
haste on i Part OIL such a hot day,

saloons comes a

hum of lazy voices whose owners are
doubtless playing freeze-out for the
drinks; aside from this, the motley
cluster of log houses and GA tents
partakes largely of the silence popular
ly attributed to cemetery.
OF the two animate objects on the
street, one is "Gawge," the huge Ethi-
opian who officiates as presiding genius
of the culinary department at Peter
Hoskins' boarding house, near by. He,
after the fashion of his race, is lying
on a bench, face downward, taking an
audible siesta, with the dense rays of
the scorching sun beating unheeded up
on his broad back. The other creature
is the saddle-horse belonging to Doc
Starr, the physician from the neighbor'
ing camp of Anaconda; this animal,
tied in front of the one-story and two
room residence of Homely Herrick, is
busily engaged in brushi ng off the tor
turing armies of flies which beset him.

around. Not that he possesses any un-
usual charms of mind, manner or per-
son-not in the least; for he is lazy,
ugly, drunken and shiftless to degree
seldom known. But, what exalts him
in the eyes of all his fellow-citizens is
the fact that he is the proud husband
of the only woman within a hundred
miles or more-hence he is person to
be looked up to, and his opinion, even
at his drunkest, is accepted as the ut
terance of an oracle
Mrs, Herrick is not a goddess, al
though any man in Centerville or any
where else who says anything calcu'
lated to cast shadow of doubt upon
the divinity she is supposed to possess

place about the time he utters the sac
rilegious words. In fact, this fail

of coin and nuggets from his pocket,
throws it into the lap Of the astonished
Mrs. Herrick and says: "Git somethin
ferah' kid" and rushes out
And so all the rest of the afternoon
the wondering, curious throng goes in
and out of the little room, each one
leaving a remembrance behind him,
until Mrs. Herrick's lap overfows, and
then vacant chair and wooden
table are strewn with little sacks of
gold dust and Uttered with nuggets and
coin. It is more money than the poor
couple ever dreamed of having all at
once, and Mrs. Herrick sits in stupefied
amazement and her wondering spouse
hastens down street to spend part of
his suddeply-acquired fortune for
whisky.
And the miners come in, four at
time, to see and be conquered-old
men, young men, ignorant miners and
men whose faces, if shaven, would be-
token their owners gentlemen by birth

and several chimpanzees at $500 apiece.
The price of Asiatic apes varies from
S75 to $500 and three gibbon monkeys
from Sumatra are offered at 81, 900 the
lot. Even these terms appear, how
ever, modest, if compared with those
of amateur horse breeders and dog
fanciers. Mastiff pups of old England
have more than once been offered at
S., 900 apiece, and on both sides of the
Atlantic there are race horses that
could not be bought for less than 500

remarkably liberal. In the western
