pronounced worthless, and all thought of
the Screamer mountain mine was aban-
doned. He told himself that he was glad of
this-that he would not again be exposed to
the danger of that beautiful face and the
magnetism of those brown eyes.
Yet, ct the end of two months he again
found himself on Screamer mountain. IF
the iron pyrites was a failure, he had dis
covered another mine more tempting and
even less likely to bring in any returns.
1t was April, and spring was all over
nature. The pines, though preserving their
steady dark greenness all the year round, now
seemed different. The sap was rising, and
they gave out a strong resnous odor that
filled the air, while the branches were
tipped with little tender shoots of lighter
color. The laurel, also perennially green,
showed foliage lighter in tone and was in
full bloom, the large, delicate pink flowers
cup shaped, the edges deepening in hue al
most to rose color,
Lucien Hartredge pursued his way up
the mountain rather slowly, for his love
was still eontending with his self-contempt
and the latter was diving hard. Then sud-
denly the object of his meditations stood
in his path. His horse SHE'D and Clarissa
started violently
He dismounted and stood at her side.
'Im afraid my horse frightened you,"
he said gently, his hungry eyes drinking in
every detail of her marvellous beauty
Probably at 40, when her bloom was gone,
she would be yellow and wrinkled and
homely as her mother, but now she was ex-
quisite.

she replied truthfully. II wuz tuck back

DEATH OF G. W. CURTIS.
After Two Months Illness the Mug
wump Leader Passes Away.
A PRIVATE FUNERAL on FRIDAY.
One remarkable Financial Incident Of
is Early Career.
ACTIVE II P0LIT .CS AND LITERATURE

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-While the fact of
the serious illness of George William Curtis
was generally known, the announcement of
his death to-day came as a surprise. The
end came this morning few minutes after
2 o'clock at his home in Livingston, S. /.
He was conscious to the last aud suffered no
pain. DR.. Frank G. Curtis, his son, was in
attendance, and Mrs. and Miss Curtis were
present.
Mr. Curtis became i'll about two months
ago, when he began to complain of pains in
the abdomen. DR.. Janeway was called and
he, in consultation with DR.. McBurnie, of
this city, DR.. Walser, of Staten Island, and
DR.. Curtis, made a careful examination.
There had been some talk of cancer of the
stomach. These physicians announced that
it was impossible to learn the exact nature
OF the trouble until it made further progress

1t was winter in the mountains-the
mountains of North Georgia-and though
only little after 4 in the afternoon, dark
ness was creeping on. The sky above
locked sombre, ard although the slope of
the mountain was edged by line of light
where the sun hung far below in the valley
like a suspended ball of fire, still to the
solitary horseman moving slowly up the
mountain trail the night had closed in. The
tall pines and dense laurel, with their dark
green foliage, excluded the last glimmer of
the day.
Not house or sign of habitation was in
eight. Not a sound could be heard save the
roar of the Tallulah river, which, though
narrow and far from deep,was rushing along
is rocky bed and dashing over powders
and gorges with a loud, continuous murmur,
that in this rarefed air swelled into roar.
Altogether it was scene as wild and de-
serted as lone traveller could wish to be
stranded in.
The horseman struck a match and con-
suited his watch.
''Half after T." he murmured, "and
night! Shall never reach Cofee's! Is it
possible that am lost in this godforsaken
wilderness?" He lit a cigar, and, after a
few putfs and some silent meditation, his
disgust and sense OF injury again found
vent in words.
"What did those three wretches mean by
giving me the directions they did?' he de-
manded, apparently addressing his horses
ears, but that intelligent animal merely
tapped the aforesaid members and main
tanned a discreet silence 81 know they
were all lies, for everyone was different,
and none OF them the least like what 1 was
told in the valley. Ali there is a light
now! I'll make for it. 1t may be Coffee's
and it may not. Anything is preferable to
freezing to death In these woods and being
devoured by the Wildcats
In the distance and far above him the
faint glimmer OF a light danced, now lost
aud shut out bv the dense growth of noun
tain laurel that rose in many places above
his head, and anon shining out brighter for
its temporary eclipse, as Pickering and elu-
sive as Jack O. the lsntern.
He followed its CLEAN steadily, and as
he drew nearer it resolved itself into myriad
smaller ones, which he soon perceived to be
freight streaming through the 'chinks" of
q log cabin.

Lucien Hartredge was what the mothers
of Savannah called "a safe young man. !"
That is, he had capital income, was in a
paying business besides and was amply
able to support a wife in luxury, whenever
he chose TO take unto himself that expen-
sive commodity; he came from good
family--the best, in fact, the most aristo-
cratic in the whole of Chatham county; and
last, but not least, he had fewer vices than
any young man in their list of acquaintance.
He had strong self-control, which never
allowed him to deSase himself and his
respect for womanhood amounted to rever-
ence.
Therefore, when the realization stole
coldy over him that he had begun to love
an unrefned, uneducated mountain "crack-
er''-loved her merely for her great beauty
of face and form, for her simplicity of heart
and SOUL but loved her desperately never
theless-he stood appalled,.
During his first visit he had remained at
the cabin about week, and in that week
he had had but few chances of conversation
with Clarissa, but his eyes followed her
every movement, her every expression. He
was completely fascinated That she was
conscious of this close surveillance he could
NOT doubt. for, looking up suddenly, she
often caugin his gaze fixed upon her, and a
Burning blush would dye her face and milk
White throat, and then die away, leaving
her very pale.

But even that could not dispel the illu-
sion. Lucian Hartredge felt vaguely that
the mountain weather and log cabin home
would not be as uncomfortable as he
imagined. The light of those wine brown
eyes had raised the temperature consider
ably.
His sleep that night was broken. He
was cold and felt i'll at ease. He got up
and piled his clothes on his bed, and had
just fallen into troubled slumber. where
his gentle, refined mother and Clarissa
Coffee were badly. confused, when he was
startled into consciousness by blood curd-
ling screech and yell.
He sat up in the bed. just then he heard
the child called 'Jake" cry out:
"Mammy Nanny The Wildcats got
the calf creetur"
All was hustle for while, then he heard
shot, and soon quiet was restored.
But before he could connect the broken
edges of his dream he WAS again reused by
a whistle-long, loud and shrill. In an in
slant he heard a light football on the floor,
the outside door was opened softly, and be
heard heavy walking across the boards, a
subdued murmur OF voices and muff1ed
laughter. But soon all this became indis-
tinct, and he remembered nothing more till
next morning, when Jake entered the room
with a pan of water and the intelligence
that sbre'kfus' wuz mos ready, an pap an
the boys done kem.'
Somewhat to Hartredge's surprise when
he went in to breakfast, Josh Coffee, the
pater familias took hold of his hand and
gave him welcome that made him vince,
with the remark:
81 hearn all bout uns down the mount
ing. Air Cl'rissy an the ole oman bin a
treatin' ye good?"
His sons greeting was rather more re-
served, but Hartredge felt that his character
had been cleared in the minds OF these
and soon began laughing boiSerously over
their escape from the "revenners.
'They cotch us at the still; followed US
home, an nabbed us TO we uns could get
ter the guns" the old man explained.
''Then ez they wuz kyarin' we uns down
