He handed her glass of old port. and the
hand which touched his own was icy cold.
She drained the wine and turned to leave
him, but he caught her in his arms and
gathered her to his heart with thrill of un-
spoken fear. He looked into her face closely
dead gray hue had replaced her usual
roseate tints. In the beautiful. deep. Irish
blue eyes. with their curling black lashes, an
arid fearless despair had replaced the dreamy
gaze of love. He dared not kiss her, but
rested his lips on the satiny richness of her
blush black hair. The wine gave her strength,
and she unclasped his twining arms and flung
him from her.
Don't dare TO follow me-" she cried, and
fled out into the open air. She did not stop
until she came to clump OF cottonwood trees,
perhaps an eighth OF a mile from the camp,
and threw herself down prone at the foot of
one of them.
1.-The air was sharp and piercing, the sun
dazzling. Far as the eye reached rose the
rough crags and peaks and boulders of the
stern old Rocky mountains, broken only by
one peep at the distant range of the Sangse de
Cristo shining with its purity of untrodden
snow. with spots Of vapor OF q delicious blue
between.
She beheld nothing in the wide desolate
immensity. Even that awful spasm Of Jealous
ferocity was for the moment overcome by the
deadly fear which crept over her at the acute
physical pain her excitement had thrown her
into. Her breath came in quick. hard gasps,
with a sense Of suffocation, OF the passing
away of all things; knife seemed piercing
her heart.
''AT l to die as I saw my mother and my
sister die? Have I the same aifment which
makes the hearts mental wounds fatal at
last?"
Her mind flew back to the scenes Of her
youth. She saw the peaks clothed in yerdure
OF her own dear mountain land. She was in
the hig rambling southern house in old North

Carolina. She smelt the flowers, she heard
the soft whisperings of the wind in the pines.
Harki that music in the air. It Is her
mothers voice singing "God be with you till
we meet again." The hymn was on her lips
an hour before she died.
What had she brought her life to since
then? She could take hold on NO future
gee none. Everything seemed to have come
to dull, dead stop. Life was midnight,
moonless and starless. Hush. that tender
voice again; I'm the valley of the shadow.
Even then shall Thy hand lead me and Thy

She could feel her limbs growing cold and
colder. literal darkness swept over her
vision.
Just then her lover reached her. He bent
over her and half raised her, In an agony OF
aroused love and fear. He saw the glazing
shadows in those glorious eyes, felt the awful
death chill in the cheek he pressed, saw the
faint. acute struggle for the fleeting breath.
"Oh! Liz, my own girl, rouseyourself. You've
been most as bad as this before and I've

Her husband had been in the Office Of the
president Of one of the great Western roads.
With desperate courage she sought this
mighty magnate, trembling lest he might re-
fuse her. Her name procured her instant
admittance from that noble-hearted man and
kind reception. She faltered forth her
prayer for pass.

She had not thought Anywhere. What
did it matter?
"Denver." she answered, haphazard. He
looked at her hand, at her full, red mouth
a-quiver. her cheeks aglow. her great dark
eyes heavy with unshed tears.
At his ready, cordial assent, she could not
refrain to burst into sobs, and sorely ashamed,
she rose and walked to distant window.

''What is the matter with the lady?" he
asked in low tone.

there must be something more than that the

kindly:

Mrs. Hannigan, better known in the Blue
Jay mining camp as "Chicago Liz" had
closed her bar for the day. It was Sunday,
and though prohibition laws and Sunday
license laws had but little effect in that wild
community, Liz according to miners
words. was "A damned strange woman about
some things. aclos'n' of her bar Sundays and
shettin herself up tight as a drum every night

But murmurs were in vain. Liz had
friends in the camp to back her rules, and
they were powerful friends. Left some wears

Of the railroad authorities. In the
famous Tillman railroad lookup of

out to the very letter Governor Till

serious breach which then existed be-
tween the State and the railroads.
Governor Tillman. it will be remem-
bered, prided himself On the novelty
and severity of his measures, and
commanded all his sherifs to lend
close ear to his instructions.
The loyalty Of the sherfffs now
seems to be remunerated by abandon.
ment. The Sheriff of Laurens County
has been sued by the Port Royal and
Western Carolina Road for the recov-
cry of the damage sustained in the
lock up. Upon this unpleasant de-
velopment the sheriff wrote the Gov
ernor to give him the support Of his
strong arm in this time of need, but
the Governor replied that he would
gladly "grant HIM his moral support,
but was not in a position to aid him
financially" Now, as the Governors
morals are of no commercial value
the sheriff fnds himself in an unfor--
tnnate position.

upon the Democratic plurality which
could only be solved by the casting
vote of the vice president. The defec-
tion of Senators Hill, German and
Murphy from party measure would
leave this Democratic administration
utterly powerless; and there would be
no more of Mr.. Cleveland's arrogant
interference with the legislative func-
tions of congress.
DURING AN enthusiastic convention
whereat ticket of exceptional excel
lence was nominated amid general
harmony, the Republicans of Carbon
county on Monday adopted with fer
vor platform of which this forms a
part: Resolved, That we hold the
Democratic party responsible for the
widespread feeling of uncertainty, fear
and distrust which has Frustrated the
business of this country; that we hold
the Democratic party responsible for
the social difficulties of our country
which find expression in labor diff
culties, CoXeyism, socialism, anarch-
ism and insurrection; that we look
with amazement and terror upon the
demonstrated incapacity of Demo-
cratic congress to manage the affairs
of this country" These are sentences
of deserved condemnation. Those hon,
est elements in our citizenship who,
feeling dissatisfied at inequalities in
personal fortunes, would somehow like
to go into politics on their own respon-
sibility should not, at the outset, dis
credit their own Intelligence by select
ing the least trustworthy agency of re-
form. The Democratic party, whether
visionary like its southern wing, cor
rupt like its northern wing, oil pouty
like its derelict president, is in any
and all events unfit to govern a pro-
gressive nation.
