The Irishman suddenly clutched
the gam bier, shook him like
dog and threw him against the
farther wall. Pierre's pistol was
leveled from the instant Shon moved;
but he did not use it. lie rose on one
knee after the violent fall, and point

o'clock is not long to wait, and then,
just here, one of us shall die. Is it not
so?"
The Irishman did not finch before
the pistol. He said with low fierceness:

The Frenchman moved to the bar,

much heat Come on, come on, mes

The miners responded to the invita-
tion. Their sympathy was mostly
with Shon McGann; their admiration
was about equally divided; for Pretty
Pierre had the quality of courage in as
active degree as the Irishman, and they
knew that some extraordinary motive
promising greater excitement was be-
hind the frenchman refusal to send a
bullet through Shon's head moment
before.
King Kinkley, the best shot in the
Valley next to Pierre, had watched the
unusual development of the incident
with interest; and when his glass had
been filed he said, thoughtfully This
isn't according to Hoyle. There's

The rest nodded assent They had

'Mais, Shon, mocNingly rejoined

Shon's face clouded; he hesitated,
then replied sharply: THAT woman,

This conversation had occurred in
quiet corner of the barroom OF the
Saints Repose, The first few sentences
had not been heard by the Others
present; but Shon's last speech, deliv-
cred In ringing tone, drew the miners
to their feet, in expectation of seeing
shots exchanged at once. The code re-
quired satisfaction, immediate and de-
cisive Shon was not armed, and some
one thrust pistol toward him, but he
did not take it. Pierre rose, and, com
ing slowly toward him, laid slender
finger on his chest and said;

your wife. That is a surprise-yes
The miners nodded assent He con-
tinued:

The fact that the last Thursday in
November is the last day of the
month, troubles some persons who
are in doubt whether Thanksgiving
Day will be appointed for the 23d or
3Oth. The last Thursday has always
been appointed for Thanksgiving Day
and it will undoubtedly be set apart
this year. In 1871, 1876 and 1882
Thanksgiving Day was celebrated on
November 30. 1t will be so cele-
brated in 1898.

1t would be very interesting to
know how much counterfeit silver
coin is in circulation. 1t would be
more interesting to know how it is
possible to prevent the circulation of
counterfeit coin of like device and
fineness with the dollars turned out
from the mint. The business of
counterfeiting has been made more
respectable since it no longer involves
the necessity of debasement. A pre-
MUM of 40 per cent. is now the re-
ward OF the counterfeiter who puts as
much value in his silver coin as there
is in the government coin he initiates.
In the west it is reported that large
quantities of spurious coin are in
circulation.
