knew . gentleman who married .
sweet and lovely girl. She was very
devoted to him, and when she discov-
cred his dissipated habits she endeav-
ored to shield him. When he stayed
out at night, she would send the sev-
ants to bed, while she waited and
watched for him; and then, in her
night-dress, and pair Of slippers on
her feet, she would glide down very
gently and let him in. One night he
came home late. The servants were
in bed. The house had a front door;
then a marble vestibule, and then an
inner door. She opened the one,
stepped upon the cold marble, and
opened the outer door. The drunken
husband entered, seized her by the
shoulders, swung her round, opened
the inner door, quickly passed through,
and locked it before his wife could en-
ter. She would not speak or cry out
lest she should disgrace her husband
before the servants. In the morning
she was found with hel night-dress
drawn under her feet crouching in
the corner almost chilled to death. On
her death-bed she told her father all
about it, or the circumstances would
never have been known. There is
much that is never known, as well as
vast amount of misery and degrade
ton that does crop out, and which is
startling in it's reality. john B. Cough.

Well, did; and if he isn't on the hill

The boys saw the joke and roared.
Everybo in Bosco knew that Fox
hill had been thoroughly pros
pected, and that there wasn't an
ounce Of ore in it, and when they saw
the Yankee climbing the hill, sure
enough, they fairly whooped. 1t was

Glazer, the storekeeper, vowed he
would set off some fireworks in Bas-

spirits, who regulated the affairs of
the nation by sitting on Glazer's bar
rels and boxes, and consuming tobacco
for nine hours a day, made prepara-
tons to give the foolish prospector a
calathumpian serenade.
And, what is more to the purpose,
they did. When Bascomb came down
from Fox hill at nightfall he looked
woebegone and tagged out, and he
tried to sneak into the hotel through
the back door, but the boys were there
to welcome him.
He took it good-naturedly enough
when he found he couldn't escape. The
boys piled him with questions about
how many veins he had struck, and
how much he would sell out for; and
of course he couldn't do anything but

didn't mind their chat.
Then the landlord gave him dig
about his expedition, and the girls who
waited on the table had something to
say, and when he rashly ventured out
after supper the statesmen from Gla-
GERS surrounded him with tin horns
and tin pans and other instruments OF
torture, until he was forced to turn
and fly back to the hotel.
Then they kept it up outside until
the landlord himself got tired and
threatened to scald them if they did
not go away.
Next day the boys were not surprised
to hear that Bascomb had left town
without bidding anyone good-by, and
for whole week the boys didn't get
over laughing at the Yankee who was
too smart; and it was unanimously
voted that Jim Macarthur was agenius,
as well as philosopher.
Not one of the boys ever expected to
see Bascomb again, and consequently
they stared as if they had encountered
ghost, when, precisely three weeks
afterward they saw the lanky gentle
man walking along the main street,
hands in pockets as usual. lie was
in company with two well-dressed
strangers, and the boys were surprised
to see the trio strike for Fox's hill.
Next day two more strangers came
to town, and they went to Fox's hill;
and the next day the whole pack went
away.
The following week Bascomb came
back with carpenters and builders and
carload of machinery, and the boys
began to think they were dreaming.
The statesmen at Glazer's store
woke up about this time, and began to
neglect the affairs of the nation in
watching Bascomb and his men.
Jim Macarthur had not very long to
wait to find out the why and wherefore
of these mysterious movements. His
father sent for him, and said:
$50 you are the boy who fooled Bas.
comb, are you? l just heard to-day

that great April fool joke. You ought
to be proud of its success"
"Why?" stammered Jim.
Because" explained his father, with
a grim smile, you put the fellow on
to the biggest vein of copper that has
ever been found in this region. 1t is
| fifteen inches thick, if it's one!"
what" cried Jim, in amazement.
He never said a word-he never told
i thought"
"Of course, of course" said Jim's
father. He let you fool boys think
you had fooled him, and he just slipped
down to Detroit, bought the whole hill
for a song, formed company, ano
now he can sell out his share for q
hundred thousand tomorrow. But he
won't; he'll hold on, and he'll be 6
millionaire in five years"
Then Jim went out. called the boys
together in caucus, and they then anG
there resolved that they had played
the most expensive April fool joke or
record. Victor Valentine, in Colder
Days.

the Bosco boys, by virtue of superior
strength, wit and intelligence, and he
knew that no serious revolt against his
rule was contemplated.
Pooh" he said, with smile. "You
don't grasp my idea. think we four
boys ought to distinguish ourselves by
doing something out of the common
run-something we can talk about next
year with pride"
Il catch on" said Mart, with more
force than elegance. Suppose we
send somebody up to Wandel, forty
miles, for DR.. Bixby to mend broken
leg, and when he comes, give him the
leg of CHI air."
Very WE'LL" said Jim, dryly, "Dr.
Bixby is violent man, and was
boxer in his younger days. You 60"
Mart very naturally demurred, and
while the others were trying to think
of something else, Jim said, suddenly:
1--WE are in big luck. Here's our
chance!"
whats the matter?" queried the
boys, in whispered chorus.
Keep quiet, and you'll see directly.
Tom, give me that specimen from
Hunters mine. Quick!'
Tom passed over a specimen of cop
per ore almost as large as his fist and
fully eighty per cent. fine, and, as Jim
took it in his hand, long, lank and
ungainly fellow came stumbling
around the post Office corner.
The boys knew him well as YER
mont man named Bascomb, who had
been loafing around Bosco for three
weeks, and was generally understood
to be much keener than he looked.
AS he came up Jim held the speci-
men off at arms length, as if examin-
ing it critically, and when he came
within earshot Jim cried:
SIT must be mistake, Tom. 1t
couldn't have cropped out there"
BY this time Bascomb was abreast
of the group, and the boys were
watching Jim in surprise, wondering
what in the world he was up to.
Suddenly Jim appeared to see Bas-
comb for the first time
''Mr Bascomb," said he, with an
affectation of diffidence, you're good
judge of copper, aren't your
mot very" answered Bascomb, his
weak and watery eyes shifting I'M

I "Pshaww exclaimed Jim, in a vexed
tone. Then you can't throw any light
on this argument. This chunk" he
went on rapidly, was picked up on
the very top of that hill yonder-the
one with the blasted pine at its base.
/ say it must have been dropped there,
and that it came from the Houghton

cropped out on the hill. But it's no
matter SO long as you can't tell the
difference. Come along, boys"
The boys followed him in mute be-
wilderment, and when they got around
| the corner were amazed to see their
leader kink up with laughter

point?"

query.

pockets" answered Anderson, after
taking a careful peep. SIS that the

"No," said Jim, after ind ulging in
J another kink; ''the joke will come in
