on earth, - it sang, and Christine, carried
out of herself as she listened, wept softly
and wondered whether it were not indeed
an angels voice With saddened look in
her soft eyes she followed her mother out
OF the church, casting a wistful, timid
glance up the dark winding staircase
which led to the choir, and the widow,
who also had recognized the voice. hurried
her daughter away. When they reached
the street, no strange figure was to be
seen, except a tall man wrapped in q hand
some cloak ana wearing golu cmbrold-
cred cap which glstened in the moonlight.
When the two women arrived at their
home, this person stepped quickly up and
with a bow said:
Merry Christmas to you, Dame GU
dule! Merry Christmas, Miss Christine!
Will you let the Florentine singer share
your supper once AGAIN."
81 knew he would come mother" cried
Christine, and tho widow, in spite Of her
misgivings, almost against her will added:
He is welcome, as before"
They all entered the house, and when
the girl had lighted the candles on the
supper table she was astonished to see that
the slender STRIPPING had become a strong,
handsome man, who looked at her with
smiling ADMIRATION. her simple YET well
fitting gown showed off her graceful fig
ure to advantage. While she filled his
glass Maso said to her, lone might take
you for an angel now"
Then he related how Master kriegwinc-
KEEL had brought him up and taught him
and been father to him. The old man
was dead now, and Maso once more trav-
eled about to earn his living by singing.
But he went as a great artist, not poor
vagabond. Kings and princes wrote ask
ing him to come and sing to them, just as
the master had predicted. He was rich
and honored, and yet he was not happy,
for he was alone.
"Dame Gudule," he added after a
pause, you once gave me a mothers kiss.
Will you now accept me as your son? Will
you let me ask Christine if she remembers
her promise?"
II remember" murmured the girl,
while her mother smiled and nodded.
You promised not to forget me and to
love me all your life," he said taking her
hand. Il have always thought of you,
and l love you, Christine, my little Christ
mas rose! Sweetheart, will you be my
wife,
Il knew you would como back was
all her answer.-Short Stories.

Increase of Gold.

The increase of gold production
in the United States in 1893 is a
striking incident of the year. Tho
completed returns just issued by
the director Of the mint show that
the total product was $39, ,95O,OO
The figures get their significance
from comparison with those of
former years. For decade past
the production of the United
States has been steady in the
neighborhood of s33, 100000 year.
ly. The sudden increase of 81 ,000,-
600 in the years product, jump
of more than one-fifth, means one
of two things, new source of sup
ply or an increase in demand.
There has been nothing new in the
way of supply. No Ell Dorado has
been discoved. No new camp has
exposed its richness to call miners
by the thousands to pan out its
golden sand. On the contrary, the
old supply from the silver-gold
mines has diminished by the shut
ting down of the properties that
depended on the silvers for the
bulk of their operating expenses.
The increase has come from the
placers and goln mines that form
erly did not pay to work. That
they now pay to work shows that
gold is more valuable in compar-
ison with other things than it was
when these same mines were tried
and abandoned. The evidence oi
the rise in gold is found on every
hand, and the rise of gold has
much to account for in the com.

Can Sell Your Horses.

VIM. Daughtery is home again
from a trip to Portland, Tacoma
and Heppner, says the Pendleton
+. o. He brings piece of news
which will be welcome to many
who own large punches of horses
fDr which no market can be found.
Mr.. Daughtrey says company has
been formed in Portland which
proposes to buy at least $4,000
horses. These horses will be ship
ped to a rendering works and kill
ed. 1t is estimated that the pres
ent low price of horses will make
it possible to sell hides, grease and
other portions of the animals
anatomy, at a profit. Mr.. Daughtrey
say the cattle market is thoroughly
demoralized in this region and in
that case he will turn to the novel
occupation of purchasing and sell
ing horses for butchering.
This is now being done in other
countries, notably Australia, where
grade Percheron Norman horses
are drug upon the market at SO
per head. The effect on the horse
raising industry will be good
There is now a large surplus. This
in "a measure disposed of, when q
normal demand is again established
prices will be higher then though
at present many were not killed.
Horses will be purchased regard
