Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1892-09-17

All the native C%alifornians of earls
days were given exceedingly TO gall
lantries most notably, perhaps, the
Picos. most of all Don Pho Pico, the
last of the Mexican Governors, who is
still living at Los Angeles. A French
man, who then kept n tobacco-shop
under the old Bella Union Hotel, had a
very handsome wife. who lived in
another street (she was removed to
rooms behind the shop after the oc-
currence to be related) on either side
the doorsteps of the house were large
figures of lions, carved from wood.
Every n knew they were lions, be-
cause the man who carved them said
they were. For the rest, they bore
quite 80 much resemblance to turkey
gobblers. One day the t~obacconist. who
had been away to buy stock from a ves-
sci anchored at San Pedro, returned
home Unexpectedly very early in the
morning, and, on the threshold, met
Don Pho, who gave a great jump at
sight Of his involuntary host. The
Frenchman assembling with artfully
feigned solicitude. begged to know if
Don Pho were i'll. "Oh, no-no. indeedi
not that; but. my dear fellow,your lions
are SO life-like that they really frighten-

oil i could to restore her, half terrified the
while by her cries. Suddenly she seized my
hand.
rs IL trueg' she gasped. Can you swear
il, that you are not here to watch meg!'
Indeed / am not. You are deluding your
self with fears and fancies and imagining
mysteries and concealment where nothing
OF the kind exists. Not one question as to
the proceedings of you or your sisters has
crossed your uncle's lips in my hearing. Not
one word have / spoken or will / ever speak
of them that you are not all welcome to
hear"
Have you not said to him how we treated
you, how wretched we tried TO make your
NO" / replied firmly.
Still holdiIg my hand, she gazed into my
eyes with a look that seemed To search me
through and through. Then she sighed.
II wish l were like you" she said sudden
ly. Il believe you are honest and true. I
do ask you to forgive me, and ask you to
stay AZ the Granger'
1T Is enough for me that you will be more
just and kind in future, Lady Martini"
II ami speaking Of he past. What can I
know of the future? But mol will be just
t. you. / do not think you would deceive
me. i am not going to ask you, like Annis,
to be my friend. 1 only ask to be les. alone.
Put Your letter in the FIRE before l CO."
Icrushed 1t up and laid it upon the ex-
piring embers, and il slowly consumed away.
When nothing but the black ash was left,

For some time after this things went on
more pleasantly at ST. Gabriel's Grange.
Gwendolinc was not friendly and contiden-
tial like Annis-it did not seem to be In her
nature; but she pursued me no longer with
scornful words and knocking looks. ! knew
she avoided my company, and l wondered
and grieved a little, for that one glimpse Of
a nature beneath the crust of defiance made
me long almost ~pityingly to know more of
the real woman and sympathi.e in her sor-
rows. But, with the pride that will sooner
meet death than seek help she kept aloof
even from her sisters How could !, a
stranger. expect to gain what was denied
themy
! lido not think Hilda Farquhar ever sought
Gwendoline's confidence; 10 me she never
altered. While Lady Martin ceased her
enmity and Annis's friendship increased, to
Hilda my existence was scarcely more han

IT'S AWFULLY COMMON.
And 1t Isn't So Awful rs Some People
Seem to Think.

In Mrs. Oliphant 5 Life of Principal
Tulloch" of St. Andrews, at p. 237, we
find DIR. Tulloch speaking of some one
as IAN awful Tory" Mrs. Oliphant
says in a footnote:
"Lest the principal should be accused
of slang. / may say that the adjective
is strictly Scotch. and had been en-
ployed for generations by a people fond
of strong speaking, before it crossed
the border, and gave to the youth Of
England a freshly energetic, if in
elegant word"
think. says Notes and Queries. we
ought To have some reason to eongra-
tulate ourselves on the introduction Of
the prevailing use Of this word. for it
has taken the place of a very much
more Objectionable Before awful
came into use, the ordinary word vas
id. Fifty or sixty years ago it
was used exactly where awful is now,
merely as expressing a superlative
sense. without any bad meaning at
tached TO il. A man might be id
lucky" as well as unlucky; and how
aver foolish the present use is, it Is q
very great improvement on its pre-
decessor. l believe the use came part
ly from Sir Walter SCOTS novels.
~Awful" is q common expression In
Scotland. and was so long before its
adoption into English, though not. l
think, ever used to express anything
pleasant.
One is accustomed to complaints
about the use Of intensive ~adjectives
and adyerbs Of this kind. Perhaps. as
Mr.. Dixon thinks. they deserve the
epithet silly" At all events. they
have been q spontaneous expedient in
all ages. Swift. writing To Stella.

the words ~odious" and -horrid" are

often heard. "She's just odious. thank
