Just as a medicine, you know
murmured Blake, as he poured the
ruby liquid with a master hand,
A piece Of silver to the stable boy
and Jack was to be notified when the
other dog cart started. Estelle had
come out upon the little veranda to see
the rainbow after the shower, and had
left her escort, as she believed, to set
tie with the cashier, but in reality to
indulge in another bottle of your ex-
cellent wine"
At last the team came round, and
Blake handed Estelle in carefully, and
tucked the light robe over her knees
with great empressment, and off they
started at a rapid pace.
Dusk was falling, and it was with
difficulty that Jack Whiting could
keep the other carriage in sight. When
they were but about a mile from
Hotel Carte, Whiting thought he
heard little scream from the car
riage in front, and drove his team I'D
nearer. He could then see that Blake
was leaning towards Miss Markham
talking in a. low amused tone, while
Estelle glanced about her in fright
ened sort of a way.

team in a voice that sounded as if her
whole soul was in it.

Blake in thick tones. Miss Markham
and I are too happy as we are, aren't
we, Estelle?"
There was a whizzing sound in the
air, and Jack Whiting brought his
long riding whip down on the Insolent
young man. At the same time
Estelle Markham leaped lightly to the
ground, and the horse in Blakes wagon
started angrily for the hotel.
Estelle came into Writings carriage
in a shamed sort of way, and not a
word was spoken until the big hotel
came in sight. Cautiously she put out
her hand and laid it lightly upon his.
He closed his fingers tightly over it
for a moment, and then opened his
hand, looked down at hers, lying there
so small and white.

LAMENT OF A FORSAKEN CAT.

The family went out of town,
Refreshing themselves by the sea;
thought they'd have taken me down,
But no one had pity on me.
What of that?
After all, it is only cat!"
The children got in one by one,
When the carriage drove up to the
door,
How breathlessly then did | run,
Little Molly cried, Room for one
more!"
What of that?
After all, it is only a catI"
NO place with the children for me?
With the luggage then, porter
said.
Get out, little demon cried he,
And gave me a blow on the head.
What of that?
After all, it is only a cat!"
There is no one without or within;
Not drop, not crumb in the
house
MY JULES Dl6dhIuS through my poor
skin;
No strength to say Boo! to a mouse!
What Of that?
After all, it is only a cat,"

Do they think of me now by the sea?
TIE pavement is burning and bare,
l am dying by inches, poor me.
What of that!
After all, it is ''only a cat!"
You have left me to die, but l say
That when you have once made
friend,
And loved him a little each day,
You should love him on straight to
the end!
Think Of that!
r Even should he be "only a cat!"

ROLLED HIM IN A BARREL.

There's something barbaric about

said the man with the broken nose,
"but l can easily name two worse
things. One is rolling man around i'll
a barrel, and the other ic a coat of tar

days | arrived at town in southern
Indiana to find the people excited over

named Black, connecting of man and

thefts. Instead Of putting them on
trial, the people had determined to ap-
ply tar and feathers and walk EN- out

DIAMOND STUDDED WALLS.
Beautiful Appearance of the Interior of
a Nevada Cavern

On the north side of the Osgood
range Of mountains, about four miles
east of Eden creek, there is a natural
cave of quite large dimensions. 1t is
in the limestone formation and has the
appearance of an old, worked-out mine,
with it's slopes, raises and wines. II
is almost impossible to find the en-
trance, as it is covered with a growth
of underbrush.
The first thing that a person notices
is a small crevice in the rocks, but as
he crawls into the crevice on hands
and knees he finds that it widens as
he goes down. About fifteen feet from
the entrance a man can stand up and
walk down the gradual incline, which
is at about 60 degrees. At a place
thirty feet from the mouth there is a
raise some thirty feet high and a drift
forty feet long. The sight which
meets the cave seekers gaze at this
point is most beautiful On the cell
ing large stalactites hang in clusters,
and the walls are decorated with glis-
IClIIlIS o1Cpo vi II oteiIo VI 1llliS ii1ICI
mingled with drops of water, giving it
the appearance of being set with mill
ions of diamonds.
Farther down the cave widens until
a chamber is reached which is over
sixty feet across and over fifty feet
high. There are numerous other pas
sages or caverns, and on the left there
is a passage big enough to admit the
body, which opens into a second cham
Der, which is about twenty feet across
and ten or fifteen feet high. In the
main chamber, some twenty feet high,
can be seen the opening of another
chamber, but as there is no timber
near to make ladders the upper cavern
has not yet been explored. There are,
no doubt, other. large chambers which
could be found were closer explorations
to be made. Stalactites and stalag-
mites can be seen in all directions.
Water is dropping continually, and the
light of a candle shining upon these
crystals and drops of water gives the
cave a very enhancing appearance.
This cave is the home of the wood rat,
and there are indications that there
might be thousands of the little ami
mails which make this natural wonder
their home Silver State.

WOMEN AND CAR PORTERS.
One Of the Latter Gives His Views or
Fair Travellers.

Its this way, if you never done
come to think of it BEFORE" said ne
car porter to me. A porter
could not afford to take any
run if he was to get nothing but COM
pany's wages. He certainly would go
bankrupt. You expect to make your
living out Of other little things; not
that any Of us gets as much as the
funny papers say We do, but there's a
little coming in for things the porter
does that amt paid for when you put
down the price OF your sleeper ticket.
But when the train pulls out and the
porter takes what you may say is his
first real look at what he's got in his
car, it's expecting good deal to eX-
pect him to. look right clipper and
cheerful when there's a dozen sections
got ladies in them; but he's got to dc
it, for the company made that rule
What's the reason for it? Well, It's

that's about all, and he just naturally

| but several of them counts UP. LII
with a lady it's different She's al
ways mighty uneasy; she's got to have

taken away, and the window never
does get to suit her, Ind she wants {
pillow, and then she wants more pill
lows, and you are lucky if she doesn'
ring you out Of the only chance yol
have to get a nap in the whole rul
just because she wants glass o
water. And after all the thing
| you've been doing for her right along
she's just as like as not to walk RICH
away as soon as you set her grips OF
the platform.
"Oh, l can tell you. ladies on a ca

ing, they certainly do, and the com
pany says you must be cheerful. Blu
when there's a lady gets into one 0
your sections for the whole run, an
she's used to travelling about and I
being looked after, why, then she sor
of knows that the porter is looking a
her, and she's set him guessin
whether she's one of them sort that
