Jim Brown was a telegraph operator: be-
sides he was an inveterate gambler. and it
was his ability to do little Of each of these
quite well that led him down to a small sta
tion on the Mexican National while working
his way down to the capital to try his luck
against the black and red or to 'buck the
tiger in the City of Mexico. He had not
much money when he struck Laredo Nuevo,
for he had been following the races on the
western circuit. and Nashville found him
"down to cases." But Jim was youns man
of resources, and q telegraph operator who is
q member of the order can generally get a
free ride by rail to the ends of the earth if he
knows the "ropes" 1t was not alone the
lack of lucre that caused Jim to take this
southern flight, but the thoughts of a woman,
not a beautiful girl with wrongs to redress,
but one of those sirens who follow the
races, and who, having become infatuated
with the handsome young operator, had
dogged his footsteps around both the eastern
and western circuits She was veritable
nightmare to Jim, for he detested her heart
fly, and she was forever boring him with her
protestations of love.
1t was not long before Jim got work. for
the operator at Laredo Nuevo had Just left,
and the station agent, who was doing double
duty in his absence. was only too glad to put
some one in his place until the division super
intendent should send man down to relieve
him Jim had done first-class work in some
of the principal Offices in the East, and soon
demonstrated his ability to handle the instru-
ment in manner far superior to that of the
novices who had formerly been sent down by
the superintendent. 1t was not many DAYS
before he was retained permanently on the
agents recommendation. True, the salary
was but $50 q menth in Mexican money, but

A whisk, too, is infinitely better than the

use whisk once you will be surprised to find
how much fresher and brighter the carpet
looks without the expenditure OF nearly so

Mrs. Flower Has Been True Helpmate to
New York's Governor.
When New York's present Governor. Ros
well p Flower, was young man Of 25 all
the wealth he had in the world was $1,000,
which he had saved during six years service
as assistant postmaster of Watertown. This
money he invested in the jewelry business in
1859, forming the partnership OF Hitchcock Il
Flower, which lasted for u couple OF years,
when Mr.. Flower bought his partner CUT and
thereafter conducted the business alone. In
Christmas week of that same year-1s59-Mr.
Flower formed anoth er partnership of longer
duration than the Jew elry firm. 1t was then
he married Miss Sarah NJ. Woodruff, daugh-
ter Of Norris NJ. Woodruff, CT Watertown, and
their partnership has lasted ever since.
Governor Flower has been very successful
man in business as well as in politics and now
counts his dollars by millions. That Mrs.
Flowers tactful encouragement has had
large share In the creation of that success can
not be doubted by any one who knows them.
She has been a true helpmafe and homemaker
and has known how to surround her husband
with those intangible and indeilnable inilu-
ences that make for success, though they may
be unacknowledged and even unperceived.

''Oh, nothing. Mr. Wells,'' Jim replied.

why don't you buy a Mexican to keep
house for you?" asked Wells 'That will give
you some one to talk to. Everybody does
down here.''
BUY girl!' Jim said, in surprise.
Certainly; can get you one for $40.
There is an old man back here who has a
beauty, about 16, that he would be glad to
get rid OF for that. I'll send for him to-mor-
row."
Next morning a wrinkled old Mexican
poked his leathern visage into the Office and
inquired for the agent Mr. Wells soon made
known to Jim who the man was. and after
the arrangements as to price were agreed
upon the old father-for that is what he
was-brought the girl around that afternoon
for Jim's inspection, stipulation in the
terms of purchase. Carlotta, for that was
her name, took Jim's eye at the first glance,
The pretty olive skin was flushed with girlish
health, and the dark eyes were fringed with
long, black lashes. while the brows above
were as prettily pencied as though painted
by an artists hana. As the old man handed
her over to Jim and signed the papers that
were veritable bill of sale of his child the
young operator, although he had already
known vice in all its phases, felt his con-
science and heart smite him as he longed to
undo what had just been done. But he SOL
aced himself with ''Well. I'll be good to

lotta cleaned the little rooms at the place
where Jim boarded, and when he bought her
q new calico or some trivial trinket her warm
kisses of gratitude made him happy. Finally
Jim began giving her some money to save for
him. He kept most OF his savings in the sta
ton agent's safe, but for fear the Mexicans
about, who were loud in their denunciatons
Of the "Gringoes," might make raid upon
the station some night, he left portion Of
his salary each month with Carlotta. Thus.
at the end of year, she had quite a little
sum tucked away in an old water jar that
stood in one corner OF their room. and which
she guarded with jealous care.
When the year was up and Jim had saved
enough to ''play bank" in the City of Mexico
until he should Twin out q stake he began
to fret at the monotony Of his life at Laredo.
One evening when he went home he told
Carlotta he was going to run down on the
night train to the City of Mexico for q week
or two.
"You coming back soon?" she asked, as she
put her pretty brown arms about his neck.
'Oh, yes, I'll come back soon,'' Jim laughed,
but it was an uneasy laugh, without the ring
of sincerity. "How much money have you,

Jif went to the agents Office and drew the

Luck was with the young operator in the

by like days. Finally he wrote to Mr.. Wells

Four months passed and Jim was s.dealing
bank" every other night, at $40 night, for
one OF the big dealers OF the place. On the
other nights he would play AGAINST the
''bank'' for which he had been dealing, Jim
was lucky dealer, and was likewise success
full when he went against the game, so as he
was considered unusually lucky the proprie-
tor thought he had secured a treasure in him,
One night as Jim took his seat and was
shutting the cards to put in the box slip of
Mexican youth took the chair directly in
front of him and called for $50 worth of
chips. As Jim passed over the stacks of red,
white and blues he started as he saw the face
before him-but pshaw! he might have seen
it before in most any of the gambling rooms.
The table soon filed up, and the usual crowd
of hangers-on lined up behind the chairs to
watch the play. so Jim thought nothing more
about the face before him as he dealt the
cards ana raked in or handed out the chips
as the players lost or won. But that night
the bank kept losing, and the usually stoical
Jim began to get nervous. The young Mexi-
can seldom lost, and always won on all large
plays. His combinations seemed almost in
vincible, and soon the crowd about were

said aloud.

the Mexican, laying down four jacks and
gathering in the pile of notes and chips.

hate to cold deck him, though, but I've got
to teach that youngster a lesson"
The game went on uneventfully for half an
hour. Again there was big Jack pot' on
the table and Jim was dealing. The "greaser'
opened for hundled, and once more all but
Jim dropped out As he had taken care to
deal himself four kings and his opponent a
like number of queens he had no hesita ncy
about raising this time, and so fully two
thousand dollars was on the table before the

betting began in earnest. Soon Jim's pile of
bills began to grow thin. as he .saw'' each
bet and raised it. for he was q certain win
ner. Finally he called the Mexican, who laid
down the four "ladies" he held.
''No good, sonny. I'm even with you this
trip" said Jim, laying down his hand and
bending over to gather in his winnings. The
young Mexican was now standing, and as Jim
bent over the table those present saw knife
flash in the air and bury itself to the hilt in
Jim Browns neck. Then they heard musi-
cal voice say:
"Notta much, Jimmy. see you ixa tho

sprang to lift his falling form Carlotta gath

door.

men. "Guess he deserved it, though

KITCHEN HINTS.

In warming over potatoes or in using them
In a salad there is an objection to very mealy
potato. When potatoes are new they are
rarely mealy. and are therefore particularly
nice for salads and warming over.
A great variety of layors can be given to
baked eggs. After heating the dish. put into
it half teaspoonfui of butter for each egg
eggs into the Gish and place in a rather cool
oven until the white becomes ''set." Serve in
the same dish. Two drops of onion juice and
a quarter OF teaspoonful of chopped parsley
will change the flavor of the egg. One half
teaspoonful of chopped boiled ham may be
sprinkled in the dish before the eggs are put
in. Again, it gives nice change to CRATE
little cheese into the dish before doing the
cooking.
To clean enameled saucepans wash inside
and out with hot water and soda and scour
with mixture of salt and fine ashes-two parts
ashes to one of salt Rinse with hot water
and dry.
In making iellies, if the gelatine be soaked
for two hours or more in its own volume OF
cold water and then dissolved in hot water
and there be added to this liquid some pure
granulated sugar and wine or clear fruit
juice. clear jelly will be the result if it be
strained through flannel or napkin. The
sugar must be fully dissolved. and it is a
good plan to place the bowl containing the
preparation in a pan of boiling water and
stir the mixture over the fire until it looks
clear, then strain.
For baking bread and pastry have an oven
that will in five minutes turn piece OF paper
dark brown. When the oven is too hot at
first crust forms on the bread or cake which
prevents its rising. 1t is better to have the
oven little slow at first and increase the
heat in "a little while.

and follow the races once more. There's
nothing like them after ALL
A few nights after saw Jim in one of the
large gambling hells of AriZona's capital. He
was in the best of spirits, with $1,000 in bills
in his pocket and q run of luck that would
probably bring him more. He looked at the
roulette tables, then passed by the faro deal
ers to see if among the crowd there was any
one he knew. He liked square" game and
generally ran against some sporting acquaint-
ance who could tell him which were ION the
square"
No familiar face greeted his eye, so he
passed on into one of the rooms beyond where
poker game was in progress. As his glance
went from one player to another he gave a
start. Seated at the table just opposite him
was the young Mexican who had been the
cause of his hasty flight from Mexico's capi-
tai. Jim's heart gave jump; with his pres
ent luck he could get even with the handsome
youngster. There was no objection when he
asked permission to enter the game, SO he
took $500 worth of chips. There was no
'limit'' to the game, but up to Jim's coming
the betting had been light. Soon the hands
began to run higher and the betting became
more spirited. The Mexican opened 'siack
pot for $50, and all but Jim dropped out.
'I'll teach you lesson" thought the
young operator, as he drew a number Of bills
from his pocket. As he looked at his hand
he saw three aces, then he raised the Mexican
a hundred. This the latter "saw'' and raised
Jim like sum. Jim tossed over hundred
and another with it, which the Mexican again
''saw" and then called for cards. Over 800
was now on the table before the '.draw." The
Mexican drew two cards, and Jim did like
wise, and when these proved to be both kings
the prospect looked very pleasing for him.
ssYour bet" said Jim.
'Three hundred dollar" said the Mexican,
showing out the bills.
1.-TWO hundred more. replied Jim.
ssFive hundred mas" was the Mexican's
response.
HE may be bluniing or he may not, ,"
thought Jim. II guess I've got him.

lead The bank lost over $4,000 that night
and the proprietor went home cursing his
luck.
Next even ing saw Jim in the seat the
young Mexican had occupied. but the latter
did not put in an appearance. Jim won that
night as usual. and the bank won from every
one else. As Jim took his seat as usual be-
hind the little box the succeeding evening
the Mexican once more took the chair d.
rectly opposite and again asked for $50 in
chips. Again the bank lost, and when the
game closed it was close upon $1,000 ''to the
bad" The proprietor was in fury this
night and swo. e that Jim Brown should
never deal again for him or for any one else
if he could help it. The young Mexican was
standing close by when he said this, and
smile of satisfaction could be seen on his face.
So Jim no longer sat behind the table, and
the young stranger came no longer to his
customary seat. This was soon noticeable to
the proprietor, who was not long in hunting
Jim up and accusing him of ''putting up
game on him. In terms that were Just a lit
tie bit more than emphatic he told Jim that
ifhe did not "dig up some of that money
within twenty-four hours he would ill him
full of lead. '.Uncle'' Billy Smith always
meant what he said, and as Jim knew this, as
well as the fact that he could not ''dig up"
and had not been ''jobbing'' anyone, the next
train saw Jim speed north toward Ell Paso.
From point to point along the road he drifted.
gener Ally making winnings at each, but al
ways the face OF that Mexican haunted him.
The more he thought of it the more he won
dered where he had seen it.
Often he thought of little Carlotta. but only
to wonder what had become OF her. One day
he wrote to Mr.. Wells and sent him draft
for 800 to be paid to Carlotta, but the agent
wrote back that she had left the place and re-
turned the draft. Prescott, Tucson and King
ston all saw something of Jim, and always he
went away e trifle better in pocket than when
he entered the towns. Never had he had such
