LIKE THE OLD-STYLE NOVEL.
The Rich Uncle Rescued His Niece
From Heartless Stepmother.
FltchDurg Mass.l sentinel.


A story, the facts of which would make
characters in which actually live within
the limits of Leominster, was told recent
ly. The gentleman who related the facts
knows the parties well. About seventeen
or eighteen years aga there lived on a
small farm some little distance from the
center man and wife who together titled
the soil, the woman doing her full share of
the work, and both man and vile seeming
bent on making their little farm the best
IN town. About this time daughter was
born. and the mothers health declined I'M
I'll, when the little one was about years
OF age, the mother passed away and the
little enid was motherless, and, although
too young to realize her loss, her time of
trouble dates from that day.
The father soon married again, but the
union proved rather an unhappy one, and
the child lacked that training and
motherly care and affection which she
should have had. SO long as the father
lived, however, his little daughter was
not abused, but within few days he. too,
followed the mother, and within the year
the widow, like many others. burying her
sorrow with her husband, took another
husband, which left the child. now some
ID years OF age, with stapfather and
mother. who simply provided for her a roof
and sufficient food to keep body and soul
together, but who never spoke a kind or
comforting word. To make matters worse,
within year caine baby, and from that
moment the real sutferings of the daughter
began. From morning till night she was
Dusy. 1t was work, work, work, and not

abused Tor sleeping too much. But she
stood It all, not daring to complain. At

farm shabbily dressed man about so

times said little. These remarks of the
uncle greatly pleased the woman. who told

THEY SHOT WELL.
Second Day of the State
Trap Shoot.
THE WONDER OF STOCKTON.
Robinson of the California Club
Captured the Diamond
r1edai.

The attendance at the second days trap
shoot of the State Sportsmen's meeting was
fairly good. The shooting was far above
the average, and only those vino made
clean scores were rewarded with an honest
return for the money they expended to
enter the contests. A more propitous day
for pigeon shooting could not have been
desired by the biggest Of kickers. Even
Ed Fay agreed that the wind and light
were just right, and as for the birds, they
flew just slow enough to make the sport
uninteresiing to those ''who go a quail
shooting with the butt of their guns rest
ing against their shoulders"
Occasionally swift-ilying bird would be
sprung from the trap and two sharp cracks
Immediately following informed the spec
tators that the man with the gun-stock at
his shoulder had to touch trigger twice to
keep the feathers from packing the meat
outside of bounds
Although a majority of the birds shot at
were easily killed because there was not
sufficient breeze 10 give an impetus to their
flight out of harms way, there were,
nevertheless some very excellent stops
made during the day. Young Merrill, the
15-year-old son of the well and favorably
known sportsman of Stockton, astOniShed
the elders by grassIng MS birds in grand
style. The juvenile, who is certainly
chip of the old block. is to-day one of the
best all-Tound shots in this State.
Sportsmen from the Slough City state
that the boy can more than discount his
papa in the field, and that ii is a treat to
see him knocking quail in a country where
quick and rapid shooting must be done to
ensure any kind of success.
OF the sportsmen who shot TO the front
a vsek
their credit were Robinson, G. A. Merrill,
Wilder. Newsome. Zentgraff. Slade. Haas,
BurstOn AMI Fay.
There were sixteen entries for the Fay
diamond medal, who shot at twenty-five
birds. The result was that Robinson and
Zentgraff, of Grass Valley, tied on twenty
birds, AMI in the shoot-off the San Fran
cisco man won the prize by one bird, hav-
ing killed five straight as against four for
Zentgraf In this shoot BurStOn captured
third prize and Slade fourth in the shoot
off on nineteen birds.

and Webster.
AT the termination OF the first shoot of
the day, which was designated on the pro-
gramme as No. g. Robinson. C. A Mer-
Tll, Wilder, +. 4. Merrill and Newsome
tied on ten birds out of the twelve shot at.
In the shoOtuff Robinson and the Merrilis
tied again, and to save time and expense
they divided the first, second and third
prizes, with Newsome as a winner of the
fourth.
The specials were won by Wilder, Haas,
Webster, ZentgTaff and Slade.
The result of tbs days shooting was as
follows. Nothing larger than bore guns
was used. and the boundary was twenty

tion Is altogether too hard for men who
cannot hold on every time bird leaves
the trap"
In sweepstake shoots that followed the
regular shoots Robinson, Fay, Haas and
Bruner tied on six birds, and in the shoot
off Robinson and Haas killed six straight
and divided the pot.
Smashing of bluerocks was also very
spirited during the day. At this game
"the artful Cri" also proved himself an
expert. lie divided first prize with 4. 4.
Merrill, the juvenile crack of Stockton,
both shooters having smashed fifteen
straight. Smith, Daniels and l.. Merrill
divided third, fourth and fifth prizes.

The great event of to-day will be the
team shoot for the Cotton cup, which has
been won by the Riverside Sportsmen's
Club team, who have returned t TO the
association TO be shot for again. The
teams that will probably enter for the
contest will represent the following clubs: :
Green Valley. California and Country.
1t is thought that other teams will make a
bid for the prize before the entry will close
on the grounds.
Trapper Rice says that all that will be
needed to-day tn make the shooting diff
cult is stiff breeze and good crowd.
Ed Fay will be on hand with his prize
gum boots and kicking gun.
Crittenden Robinson presided at the
twelfth annual meeting of the Slate Sports
mems Association held last evening at the
Palace Hotel.
The gathering of members was not as
large as expected, although quite a num-
Der OF prominent sportsmen from the in-
terror were present.
The first matter discussed was the pres
ent game laws. which the association be-
lieved to be worse in many respects than
no laws at all. To remedy what was
adjudged decidedly bad state of affairs
il was decided 10 call convention of
sportsmen representing the different
opinions and framing set of laws which
will meet with the appreciation of sports
men in general.
Some Of the members thought thai it
would be impossible to devise general
law which would prove acceptable 10 the
spOltsmen who reside In the northern and
southern parts of the State. because birds
that are large enough TO be shot in the
month of August in Los Angeles Comfy
would, if natives Of Sierra County, be only
fiedglings, in the month of Septein Der.
The object in calling Il convention is 10
arrange law so that the sDortsmen OF tie
northern and southern parts of the State
will be satisfied and that the scenes wit
messed st the last meeting OF the Legis-
lature will not occur again.
1t was proposed that the Supervisors of
