How Fortune Knocked in Vain at This
Mans Door.


Capt. Greenleaf, formerly Of the
coast and geodetic survey, and now en-
gagged on Puget Sound in other Gov
eminent work" said Seattle man in
the Washington Star. docs not look
like a person who had two tremendous
fortunes in his very grasp and did
not know it, but that has been his ex-
perience. In 1889 he was with the
survey party on the famous Cape
Nome beach, where millions of gold
still lie buried, and sunk a shaft right
down through the sand TO find solid
foundation on which to place one of the
surveying instruments. This shaft
passed through the rich sand of the
beach, but the captain or any of his
diggers weren't looking for gold or
thinking of it. He says he wouldn't
have known it if he had seen ii, unless
1t had come to him in a plain yellow
chunk. Anyway. the chance to become
the discoFerer of the great Nome gold
fields, ten years in advance, and to
have been a millionaire instead of a
Government 'hireling,' passed by right
under his nose.
"A stranger story is of later ex-
perience the captain had. In 1892 he
was down in the Gulf of Darien, State
OF Colombia. South America. and visit
ed the little island of Pinos, which is
Government reservation for Indians.
and white men cannot remain there,
though they may go ashore from their
ships and trade or hunt. One day the
captain and a companion were hunt
ing. and in the course of their wan
behring's they came upon a cliff of such
beautiful quartz that each of them
broke off chunk somewhat larger
than mans fist, and carried the pieces
back to their ship After the novelty
wore off the two pieces of quartz were
thrown aside among lot of picked-up
stuff, such as all travellers acquire, and
one piece was lost, but the captain
saved his piece When he packed up his
dunnage to leave the ship and took it
along with him. A year or so later
watch chains of bits of quartz were
popular in Frisco, and Capt Greenleaf
took his quartz to a jeweler to have it
broken up and the brightest portions
made into a chain. When the captain
came back in a week for his chain the
jeweler asked him if he knew what
the quartz was. He told him he did
not, further than that it was unusually
pretty, and the jeweler Informed him
that it was pure gold quartz; and not
only gold, but that a test had showed
that it ran $1S0,000 to the ton. The
jeweler was extremely anxious to
know where it came from, and the cap
tain was so surprised that he was
speechless, and hurled away to get
some of his friends to investigate.
Efforts were made then, and are still
being made through governmental
sources, to get at the deposit on the isl
and, but thus far no results have been
reached. The captain has hopes of lay
ing his hands on fortune once more,
and he says the third time will be the
charm, for he viii hold on to it, in spite
of everything"

His First Love.

ried," exclaimed Jack, in an accent of i'm
patience; 'all those who were grown up,
at least, l mean in our time. Odd girl,
Lillian was. But she was pretty crea-
turel And there was Miss jeanne, whom
you used to be so sweet on. and pert lit
tie Edith, and my dear old Mrs Beres-
ford herself. What brick Mrs. Beres-
ford was, with her stiff back and her soft
heart! / believe she loved me like the
son of her old age. Helstone, let US go
back some day, and see them all"
1t was summer then, and Margaret
lived until the winter came again. The
end of her life was far from unhappy to
her; perhaps it was happier than many
a previous part Of it had been, for dur
ing these last months she became once
more the center of interest to all those
whom she loved best. She had been so
little TO her husband and her daughter all
through her welded life, but the devotion
of these last months made the gentle,
unexacting woman almost forget the lone
illness Of all her previous years "You
make it hard for me to Co." she said,
gratefully to Godfrey again and again.
1t was a quiet close to a colorless life
Il might have made her happier" God
frey remorsefully thought, looking at the
still face with great burden on his
heart; but yet, at least, if he might have
made her happier, he also might have
laid cross upon her that he never let
her bear, for she passed out of the world
unconscious from any word he had ever
spoken that her love had come between
him and the dearest hope Of his life.

Gnesses on Chinese Puzzle


China's teeming millions in the interior
of the empire may have all the passive
powers of resistance claimed for them,
but if all their seaports fall into foreign
hands the Chinese can do little more than
stew in their own juice.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat
If the Boxer troubles in China arose
out of desire to exclude foreigners. then
the demonstration is bringing about the
state of affairs which it intended to de-
feat for it looks as if hereafter the for
eigners would be dominant in the empire.
-Pittsburg Times.
1t may well be that our military pres
ence there in the midst of this profound
disturbance may not only prevent the
partition of China but may secure for us
the lasting friendship of that empire
which will be proitably refected'in our
commeree-San Francisco Call
1t is now apparent that the powers
have to deal not with a Chinese mob, but
the Chinese nation. Government and ar
my. China, after all, is not nation. but
an ancient mosaic. They have not only
to restore order, but to maintain it in the
future. They must give the Celestial EN-
pire stable government. This they can
do by harmonious cooperation, upon
which they have already so happily en-
tered, and by such plan as may be mu-
tually agreed upon. The result viii be to
secure in every district that order and
civilized government which are essential
to the protection of life and property
This will clear the way to progress and
prosperity. 1t will thus secure China
from the dead past and give ii to ciyiliza-
tion.-New York Herali

CHAPTER XIV

Jack was one of those people who,
by their abounding good humor and al
sence of self-consciousness, soften adj
verse opinions, and as the next day pass
ed Rita began, half involuntarily, to
think that there were some rather pleas
ant things in him. She met him, to be-
gin with, the first thing in the morning,
coming in, though it was December,
from an early ramble in the garden, with
little robin in his hand that he had
picked up from the ground.
Come here" he said, calling to her as
he entered the house. Il wonder what
you can do for this little beggar?" And
then he showed his small captive to her,
and reused her in a moment to interest
and sympathy.
"Oh, what is the matter with him? Do
you think we can keep him alive" she
exclaimed
You can but try at any rate, / sup
pose" he said. He isn't worth the trou-
bic, but you must either do that or wiring
his neck. III wiring his neck in mo-
ment, if you think that will be the best
way of dealing with him."
But of course Rita thought nothing of
the sort, and set down Jack as little bet
ter than heather for proposing such a
course.
Then get something to put him in, !"
he said.
SO she hurried away and found lit
tie empty cage; and they made bed,
and laid the bird in it.
He seems to have something the mat
ter with his feet. Look at him, poor lit
tie chap, he can't stand moment on
them. Do you know what would adj
wise you to do?" said Jack. Il would
get little sherry and PUT his legs in il. !"
Are you saying that in joke?'' ask
cd Rita, looking solemnly at him.
(To be continued)
