a dead limb OF one OF the OLD trees
had fallen that autumn, and poor fire.
wood as it had been, it was Mrs. Robbs
own, and she had burnt it most thank
fully. There was only small arm
full left, but at least she could have the
luxury Of a fire. She had feeling
that it was her last night at home,
and with strange recklesness she began
to Ell the stove as she used to do in
better days.
It'll get me good an warm, she
said, still talking to herself, as lonely
people do, "an' I'll go to bed early.
It's comm on to storm.
The snow clicked faster and faster
against the window, and she sat alone
thinking in the dark.
There's lots O. folks love, she
said once They'd be sorry l ain t
got nobody to come, an no supper the
night afore thanksgivin' I'm dread
full glad they don't know And she
drew little nearer to the fire, and
laid her head back drowsily in the old
rocking-chair.
1t seemed only a moment before
there was loud knocking, and some
body lifted the latch of the door. The
fire shone brightly through the front
of the old stove and made little light
in the room, but Mary Ann Robb
walked up frightened and bowildered.
Who's there ?" she called, as she
found her crutch and went to the door.
She was conscious of only one great
tear. They've come to take me to
the poor-house she said, and burst
into tears.
There was a tall man, not John Man
der, who seemed to fill the narrow
doorway.
Come, let me in" he said gayly.
"Its a cold night. You didn't expect
me, did you, Mother Robb p
Dear me What is it?" she fal-
tered, stepping back as he came in and
dropping her crutch. "Bs I dreamln?
I was a-dreamin' about-Oh, there
What was a-sayin' 'Tain't true
No I've made some kind Of a mis-
take"
Yes. aud this was the man who kept
the pOor-house, and she would go with
out complaint; they might have given
her notice, but she must not fret.
"Sit down, sir" she said, turning to-
ward him with touching patience.
You'll have to give me little time.

the door took one step forward and

John Harris. "You amt goin tc

THE "NEWS" ON MISSIONS.

Editor STAR-The comment OF
the Morning News upon the mas
sacre of the missionaries IN emma
is to be regretted-that IS II our
papers are to be taken as eXpon-
ents of the state of opinion or OF
manners here.
Should an atrocity which has
sent a thrill of horror throughout
the whole civilized world be chron-
icled with a sneering criticism OF
the victims
All are not expected to be able
to fathom the utter selt-abnega-
ton of those who, inspired by re
ligious principle, face the horrors
and dangers of life in a pagan
country, but when all civilized
people are reading with uncovered
heads and bated breath the tale OF
horrors which the wires have
flashed to us concerning the fate
of some of these, is 1t athelstlc
insensibiity or dense ignorance OF
propriety that prompts the con-
temptuous allusion to it contained
in the News?
Atheism, Of course, neither ad-
mits the force of the command to
send the gospel to every creature,
nor understands the spiritual value
of the work, but it should remem-
Der that it is living in the light of
privileges, both social and political,
which come only with the Chris
tianity which atheists reject, and
rest entirely upon the revelation
they ignore.
If gratitude does not at such a
time as this force respectful 81
lence upon those not in sympathy
with missionary effort, propriety
should.
A little sentence from a little
book called "Lacon" would be OF
service to some, if memorized and
obeyed. 1t is this:
eff one has not a sense OF de
cency, it is we'll to sham little.

By his appearance, as we'll as his garb, he would be taken for a minister of the gospel in any country.

Mining Intelligence

The JOURNAL MINER has received a letter from an eastern man, who says he was a victim of Patent Medicine Warmers" gigantic mining swindle, and wants to know if there is any show in the world for the stockholders of Warmers Seven Stars Company to get anything back for the money they invested through the medicine mans" misrepresenta- tions. The prospect is very poor at this end of the line, as the property of the Seven Stars has all been sold at sheriff s sale, and there are more legitimate claims against the com pany which are unpaid, and the mine is in possession of the original claimants, owing to Warmers failure to pay for 1t.

ROYAL TRAIN.
Resumption of the Limited Service on the Southern Pacific.

Resumption of the Limited Service on
 the Southern Pacific.
 On October 3I the limited service will be resumed on the Southern Pa cilic between New Orleans and San Francisco, twice week. The train will be the handsomest on earth. Three passenger ears built by Pull man are said to be the finest ever turned out. The finishing is not only new and unique but the arrange ment is novel. There will be two dining cars of improved patterns. The ears used in the former limited service were particularly handsome but they are not fine enough for the new train and will be used only in extra service. \ novel feature of the train will be the vestibule arrange ment. Instead of the vestibule GOV ering only the platforms of the cars it will enclose all the space between them, the steps and all, making the train practically one car divided into compartments. On or before the beginning of the service change of time will be made in the regular passenger and mil trains. Just what the change will be or when it will go into effect has not been de- termined.-Tucson Star.

Draughtsmen are at work on a handsome map of Mohave county, taken from actual surveys. The work is being done in Los Angeles, and the maps will be issued from the office of Mohave county's immi- grafton commissioner in about a month.
