this day forth no Chinaman 10 to

A chorus OF alternatives came
from the crowd. Then came gust
OF sighs. 1t was difIicnlt Law 10

led the wounded ChinaEnan il all

was discharged Is cured.
Ii was months before Jim walker
could get back in the good graces
Of Miss Kenyon. And when she
did once more condescend to treat
him as an equal, the Loor fellow was
desperately in love with her, felt
that it would be worse than folly to
ever dream Of declaring his passion
to her.
'All over q cussed Chinaman.
too he would mutter.
One night in winter Rose Ken
yon sat all alone in her room ut the
hotel. 1t was dark, but she had
not lit the lamp, for she preferred
in her then mood to sit in the dark
and think.
Suddenly she became aware that
the door opened, though it was done
noiselessly enough. Her eyes being
accustomed to the darkness, she
was able to make out the monde
script figure Of Jim Wah. He stole
toward the table on which she had
deposited her satchel containing her
last months salary.
The Chinaman must have figured
or must have known where the lit
tie satchel lay, for he went to it
without hesitation, picked it up and
started to leave the room.
Give that to me at once, Jim
Wah,' cried Rose, springing to her
feet and seizing the Chinaman res
olutely by the arm.
Jim Wah struggled to get away,
but she only held him the tighter,
and screamed for help.
The noise of footsteps was heard.
Jim Wah uttered Mongolian curse
and drew a cleaning knife.
Just at that time the door open
ed, and five or six men burst into
the room. One of them carried q
lamp.
A shot rang out, and Jim Wah
sank to the floor. He was dead.
The shot had been fired just in
time to save Rose Kenyon's life.
1t was Jim Walker who had fred
the shot and it was he who said
triumphantly:
4 told yer, Miss Kenyon, that
the next time / fired at that Chin
ese galoot I'd kill him.
But Rose didn't hear him. She
had tainted.
Boys ordered Jim, carry out
that yellow snake'-pointing to the
blood stained body.
The remains of the murderous
celestial was lugged ont with little
ceremony. The Coroner Of Bang
mp City wouldn't take the trouble
to hold an inquest.
When Rose came to she way lying
on . sofa in the hotel T'arlor. The
landlords wife was bending over
her, but Rose saw only Jim Walker,
who stood at the foot Of the sofa.
Reckoning him to bend over her,
she whispered:

it, Rose

Jim Wah didn't finish. There was

at the ground, said:

Jim Wah lay silent under the

Jim Walker stood over her with
a shamefaced air and said:

THE FATHER OF AMERICAN WATCH
MAKING DEAD.
From Sew York sun.

From New York sun.
Aaron L. Dennison, whose death at
the age OF 80 in Birmingham, England,
was announced January l1th, was
known as the father OF American
watch making. His apprenticeship to
matchmaker while still a youth, and
his consequent familiarity with all
styles of Swiss and English watches
which he was called upon to repair,
stimulated his ingenuity. On a visit
to the United States armory at Spring
field, Mass, he became interested in
the manufacture Of muskets on the
interchangeable plan," and conceiv-
ed the idea of applying It to the man
ufacturo of watches. Mr.. Dennison
was long time in interesting a capt.
talist in his scheme, but in 1850 he
formed, with Messrs. Howard, Davis,
and Curtis, the American Eorologue
Company. A trip to England in the
mean time had convinced him that
America might successfully compete
with England, where tfteen or twenty
different persons, In different places
were employed on each watch.
A factory was built in Roxbury in
1851, and a mo4el watch was made nn-
der Mr.. Dennison's direction. 1t was
designed to run eight days. Thlsplan
was soon abandoned for a one-day
watch. The first hundred American
watches we're placed on the market in
1853. 1t soon became necessary To
move the factory, and Mr.. Dennlson
fixed upon site near the village OF
Waltham. His mode Of demonstrate
ing to the employees the desirabllity
of country life was Characteristic He
planned several excursions to his pro-
posed site, and pointed out to the EN-
poyees the desirable building lots,
On one occasion he mounted stone
wall, and waving his long arms toward
the adjoining field, exclaimed en-.
thusiastically.

Col. Mulberry. Sellers The must have
been a native Of CaliforniaD used to
say that all a person needed in order
to keep warm was the appearance Of
heat, This is evidently one of Cali
fornia's pet theories. There are to be
met With Ia that part Of our country
some of the most remarkable stoves
we ever clapped eyes on. 1t, Is com
monty reported that California has
the biggest liars and the smallest
matches in the world; we wonder that
the stoves Of California are not includ-
ed in this bon mot, for surely it were
hard to conceive Of stoves more lillipu
tian than these miniature affairs which
are called into service whenever the
chilled traveller lifts up his voice in
expostulation against the alleged gen
iality of "our glorious climate"
Our friend Leigh Lynch had an in
teresting experience at Riverside. He
arrived late in the evening aud ordered
fire 10 his room, for the night was
rainy, damp and cold. After supper
he went to his room and sat down to
read the newspapers. He felt so chill.
ly that he rang the bell for the porter.
l must have fire, said Mr.. Lynch
peremptorily. 1 ordered onean hour
ago, and it is very curious that my or
der was not attended to. I can't
freeze to death; haven't you stove

"Of course we have, sir" said the
porter, very much embarrassed; 81

and-and you're sittin' on the stove
Sir"
Mr.. Lynch arose and scrutinized the
object upon which he had been sitting.
is that a stove?" he asked, dis
dainfully.
" Yes, sir" answered the porter,
apologetically.
"Bless my soul! so IL is" said Mr..
Lynch, 81 thought it was a new.
fashioaed kind Of camp-stool"
An expert scientist who was one OF
our party in California made careful
analysis Of dozen stoves, represent
