"Thank you, my man, thank you.
You may go now," said the old man,
grateful for even the sympathy of a
soldier in that dark hour.
After Lannan's departure the colonel
sat for long time in deep reflection,
at times giving voicing to his thoughts.
Everyone speaks well of him.

A young fool with more money than

Has not your long experience in Indian

said Capt. Colby. II know these Mes

themselves Of their burden and scatter
into their hills for safety"
The old man shuddered, and in a

AN OLD MANS LOVE.

When she comes back she'll never know
That have really missed her so.
s'pose she'd laugh II she but knew
lOne-half the boyish things I do.
An old man deep In loves as big
A goose as is love-lorn sprig.
And just smile at times to see
What simple thoughts come over me,
I used to fear long years OF life
Would dim the love Of man and wife.
But now l find that every mile
The flame grows brighter oil the while.
And ever since she's been away
I've counted every hour and day,
And wished the time would hurry when
I'll look into her eyes again.
At evening when sit and rock,
And hear the ticking OF the clock
Twas given us the day we We'd
He heard 1t, too, the boy that's dead
Then with the stiffness all around
think OF days when first wound
That dear old clock, and thoughts arise
That bring o mist before my eyes.
But they are sort OF pleasant tears,
The ones you call through years and yeara
OF pleasure sprinklcd through with pain,
Like ApTll lulAOu WIN LolLAs
Some skies we're dark and some were fair,
And Joy came tangled up with care.
But after all the thorns and stings
The way was blessed with gracious things.
You couldn't make her think that l
Would on our old piano try
To pick out some sweet counting tune
We used to play in loves glad June.
'Twould worry her II she should know
While she's away I'm troubled so,
For when she's round the house, you see,
I'm dignified as can be-
And thcn to-day-I had to laugh
To think I'd seek her photograph
1t seemed so queer; don't know when
I've looked at it before, and then
thought about the Sunday she
First gave that treasure raro to me.
And how kissed 1t then and how
kiss 1t Just Us fondly now
wonder II two hearts in tune
Aren't always in their honeymoon,
And then I'd like to know II she's
A-thinliing any thoughts like those.
> My love I'll hardly dare confess,
But just wonder If she'll guess
It's depth within the hearty smack
Her cheek will feel when she comes back

CHAPTER XVI.

Col. Sanford's head dropped on his
breast and he sat for several minutes
in deep reflection. Occasionally deep,
painful sigh would escape from him,
saddening evidence to those around
him of the terrible grief which had
come upon him. AS he sat there buried
in his own distracting thoughts, Lieut..
Vandever entered and silently stood,
cap in hand, with the group. After a
time the colonel raised his head and
said to Capt. Colby:
"Yes, I heard the story, but did not
give it second thought. The men
nearly all have moonshine stories to
tell of the causes that led them into
the ranks. If he is such paragon Of
virtue and responsibility, why does he
not notify his friends of his mistake
and secure his discharge? 1t would be
an easy matter.
Perhaps, colonel" said Vandever

From a letter written by Rev. ].

the case of my wife. While / was
pastor of the Baptist Church at

The prospect of relief from drastic cathartics
for persons troubled with constipation is poor
indeed. True they act upon the bowels. but
this they do with violence. and their operation
tends to weaken the intestines, and is prejudi-
cial to the stomach. Hostetter's stomach
Bitters is an effectual laxative. but 1t neither
gripes nor enfeebles. Furthermore. 1t pro-
promotes digestion and regular action of the
liver and the kidneys. 1t is an efficient barrier
against and remedy for malarial complaints
and rheumatism, and is of great benefit TO the
weak, nervous and aged. AS medicinal
stimulant 1t cannot be surpassed. Physicians
cordially recommend it, and its professional
Endorsement is fully borne out by popular
experience. Appetite and sleep are both
improved by this agreeable invigorant and

a Big Tooth.

While working on their placer
claim in Gold Canyon last week,
the King boys found an immense
tooth. The masticator was found
at a depth of about seven feet be-
low the surface, and unfortunately
was split in two in taking it out,
as the boys had no idea what they
were unearthing. The tooth is
obout twenty inches in circumfer-
ence and two feet long, and evident
ly belonged to some species of mann
NAL that roamed this country in
the prehistoric age. Bill Mathison,
who is working some ground near
the King claim, has also dug up
sections of bones of animals which
do not inhabit the country at the
present day.

work ON the Ninety-Four.

The Ninety-Four Gravel Mining
Company is pegging along in an
unpretentious way, and all the time
taking out enough gold to average
the nine men at work on the ground
50 per day. The company is now
hosting dirt through 40-foot shaft
from an incline, and is hosting, by
horse power about $50 buckets full
per day, or, in other words about
seven cubic yards of dirt are being
handled daily. The drift now being
run is in the direction of the mouth
of the canyon, where it is expected
bedrock will be found, and better
pay dirt. The company has a por-
ton of its ground leased to two
gangs of Chinamen-eleven in all
-on percentage, and it is estima-
ted that the entire output of gold
from the ground is from $1,000 to
200 per month. Not so bad for
hard times.

quite commotion at the depot
when the train arrived. The Piute
and Chinese aristocracy was out in
full force to greet Hop Lee, the
Chinese merchant of this place,
who returned from Sacramento,
bringing his wife, two sons and a
servant girl. Mrs. Lee is remark
ably stylish looking woman, and
her two sons are aged respectively
three years, and three months. The
servant girl is twelve years of age
and pretty little thing. 1t is un-
derstood that Hop Lee is anxious
to have her attend the public school
