To every ones surprise they found only
a white woman there, while upon the stone
flags lay Mafferty disguised as Hindoo.
Margot's strange tale was told, and the
little garrison learned that woman's
courage had saved them. Margot was in
deed the luck of the garrison.
The entrance to the minc was promptly
destroyed and the handful of men con
tinued to hold the outpost till the day
when oil the British were withdrawn into
the residency, to wait for the relief that
Havelock brought
Giraud, honest fellow, before he was
shot as q traitor, confessed that he had
planned the carrying off of Margot and
the undermining of the outpost.
Long after, when the siege of Lucknow

And life from sorrow free;
Or else that friends were always true,
But that can never be.
The hand of fate across the loom
Oft weaves dusky stripe,
And then seek amid the gloom
My old clay pipe.

And hum merry song,
But where's the heart that's always gay
When everything goes wrongl
So II a sulky pout / see
On dear lips red and ripe,

OF life an endless smile,
And dreamed of one who. for my sake,
We're loving all the while;
But now check the useless tear
I'd be too proud to wipe,
And bless the friend that's ever near,
My old clay pipe. Samuel Minturn Peck.

WIT and HUMOR.
At Sea.

There was a little girl on board
Who couldn't stand the constant motion,
81 wish, mamma" she one day said.
"There was some pavements In the ocean"
She watched the heavy pillows roll,
And shook her head and murmured sadly,
Ifthey'd play stll.pond, stead of tag,
1t wouldn't make me feel so badly"
Before her stretched the white. capped waves
Behind white-capped nursemaid followed.
I'm better now" she naively said,
" Because. you see, I've just unswallowed."

SUPERINTENDENT M'CoNELL TALKS
The Overland Limited Will Make
Schedule Time.

j. H. Mcconnell, superintendent of
motive power and machinery for the
Union Pacific, left for ogden on No.
last evening, epecting to go north
from there on No. 8 a few hours later.
To The Herald man he said: There
is no special significance attached to
my trip, only that it is necessary to go
out over the road at the close of the
year, and determine how we may best
enter upon the incoming year, keeping
in mind that shops and equipment
must be run in accordance with the
requirements of the times, whatever
they may be. When business is good
forces are put on to meet the exigen-
cies of the hour, and only decreased
when it can be done to advantage.
Everything is in first class shape
with us, and our engines on the fast
trains are now showing their mettle.' %
"Will the overland limited engines
hold out on the winter run as they dc
now?" was asked.
Those engines on that run, as well
as the fast mail and other runs, are
all of them in first class shape, and
will make the time in winter with a
clear track, as they now do. Yes
Sir! The time will be made!'

HEAVY DEALS IN JUAB.
Thfrty-Five Thousand in Claims
Change Hands

Advices from Juab, Utah, are to the
effect that during the past ten days
there has been some eight or nine
mining claims changed hands in the
Moss mining district, with valuation
of over $4,000 attached to the
transactions, and the lucky purchasers
are feeling jubilant over their luck in
securing all the best claims in the dis
triyt, and have got men on them now,
working c their fullest capacity, and
as soon as the weather will permit
viii commence hauling ore down for
shipment to the valley smelters.
The Moss brothers bonded their Con-
glomerate claim to Salt Lake City par
ties for $4,000 with an agreement that
they are to erect mill inside of six
months.
Messrs. Taylor Copening and Nc
Carther purchased the following claims
adjoining the Moss Conglomerate:
Day Light, Sun Rise and Moonshine.
for $4,000 and have men at work on
them. AS soon as spring comes and
the heavy snow disappears the dis
trict will be heard from, with a very
heavy production Of ore. that goes
over $50 to the ton. Messrs Taylor
Copening and McCarther have got
esstern parties interested with them
in yheir purchases, and seem TO have
the necessary capital to work their
mines 50 as to make success out Of
