halt. I paid the stroller for the
day he had not worked and dismissed
him. This Infatuated him, and I re-
ceived my first gratuitous lesson in
Italian-a beautiful string of oaths
which may never be worth what paid
for them"
Evelyn laughed long and heartily.
'You are the most original man I
ever met" she declared. What funny
experiences you do have. And did your
Italian master forsake you?"
Ronald laughed drily.
After he had got his organ out of
the barn, he began to play it in the main
road, and it wasn't twenty minutes
till every negro, young and old, for a
mile around was dropping his money
into the monkeys cap. The trouble is
the farmers in the neighborhood
blamed me with the commotion and
called me a greater crank than ever"
There was a sound of some one
coming through the woods, and David
Fanshaw, barefooted and coatless,
emerged carrying gun and bag of
game. Seeing them together he stared
in establishment, and shifting his gun
awkwardly from one hand TO the other
he blurted out: 81 didn't know any

II wouldn't shoot here" his brother
admonished. "There is party fishing
a little way down the stream"
Without saying more the great ill
clothed fellow shouldered his gun and
plunged again into the wood; this time
headed for the main road.
1T is my brother David" explained
Ronald to Evelyn.
II thought he was" she said, look.

all like you" and then it seemed to
strike her that the comparison was, too
great reflection on David to be quite
polite, for she redeemed.

came to her relief. 'In fact, people
are constantly remarking that m un-

IL think you are very unlike them
ALL" agreed Eyelyn-''all that i have

There the conversation paused. A
merry laugh came from the fishing trio
and then there was low muttering
of voices, in which Evelyn's name was
spoken by her sister.
II think they are wondering what
has become of me" said the girl. I'D
better join Them
He held the vines which hung over
the path out of her way, and when
she had gone he went back to his fish
ing; but he found himself casting an
Undated hook into the water and hold
ing his rod in tense. quivering hands.
How much he had lived in those few
moments! He took a deep breath. my
God,' he said, II don't know what has
come over me! Am I mad? Am I
fool enough to think-to hope-?''
He checked himself, and opened the
law book he had brought with him. But
though his eyes rested on the page for
twenty minutes, heread not a word. The
sun went down slowly; he saw its light
on the brown side of distant cliff
creeping upward; he heard the dis
tant crack of his brothers gun, and,
picking up his things, he started home

dollars an a-had my independence"
Ronald Fanshaw smiled genially, but
he made no reply, and Dave sauntered
away to the river to see if his trout
lines had caught anything. When he
found himself alone our hero fell to
dreaming of his past life. Above the
tree-tops half mile to the east, or
slight elevation. he could see the
high. steep roof and dormer windows
of the chief mansion of the locality,
"Carnleigh, the splendid home of the
county's greatest planter, Col. Henry
Hasbrooke.
The house, in its silent grandeur. rep
resenting wealth and power, had been
potent factor in the struggles OF this
young man towards the acquisition of
things above and beyond him in the
dreamy blue realm of possibility. Its
massive Corinthian columns. it's vast
white proportions and it's aristocratic
inmates, whom he saw driving along
the roads, told him constantly what he
and his family were mot. Up to his
twenty-fifth year his fancy had dared to
play only about the exterior of this old
family seat, but of late his imagination
call it ambition, if you will. had led
him beyond the mystic portals, and he
walked there with men and ladies'; he
dined there; he discussed topics he had
read with the white-haired host; he
stood near the piano and heard Evelyn
Hasbrooke play and sing; he saw her
white hands fit over the keys, and felt
her smile up at him. And then the
bubble would burst and the grim, sor-
did contrast of his real existence would
grasp and wiring the gall from his soul
Evelyn Hasbrooke was unwittingly
responsible for these later dreams. He
lad rendered her service the pre-
ceding summer when she was home
from school. ID him the act was
nothing, but when it was over she had
hung white and qnivering on his arm,
ond in that wonderful cadence of hers
had told him that he had saved her
life. He had helped her over the fence
and felt the warmth of her breath on
his face. They had stood and chatted
for awhile and then they had parted.
He had not seen her since, for she was
at schoo! in Boston, but he had never
forgotten the glory of her deep, gray
eyes, the infinite sweetness and
beauty of her face. A thousand times
since that moment he had wondered
if she, too, remembered. Sometimes
when his hopes were brightest he fan
cied that she did-that she must if
only because his mind was on her SO
constantly.

and he laughed merrily as he drew it
out of the water. She sprang up and
stood by him as he took it from his
hook and put it into his basket.
II am afraid I am disturbing your
sport she said, tentatively.
'You see you have given me good
luck" he made answer.
II have wanted another talk with
you for long time" She cast glance
in the direction of her party. Il pre-
sumo ought to join them, but I have
really not said all wished. 1t seems
half lifetime since we met"
Later that day he actually shuddered
over the boldness of his reply to this,
and yet am convinced that it was one
of his remarks which she remembered
in its entirety.
''The meeting in itself seemed 4
whole lifetime to me-" he said, in a
full. tense voice-"the beginning, the
end--a short, beautiful life, for l
thought l might never, perhaps never,
see you again"
'sYou thought we should never meet
again!" she spoke in slow surprise, as
the import of his words dawned on
her, and then he saw her eyes go down,
and fresh shaft of bitterness pierced
his heart. He knew she was thinking
of the gulf which lay between them.
The look of pain which crossed her face
almost distorted it, Still it was only
to add new character to her beauty.
II want to tell you more than ALL"
she shrugged her shoulders, as if to
shake off the unpleasant thought he
had just read, chow very much good
your example has done me. You re-
member you told me how you had
learned French by studyingit at night,
and by hiring q man to work for you

Her companion laughed softly.
ST did not have such good fortune in
adding a teacher of Italian to my fac

his way over the mountain with hand

About week after this he heard
that She was home again to remain,
her school days hsing over. His in
formant also told him that Carnleigh
was to have visitors Mr.. James
Hardy. a cotton merchant of Charles
ton. who was supposed to be sutton
for the hand of the coloneI's eldest
daughter. Caroline, and Capt. Charles
Wrinkle. who owned fine plantation
five miles beyond the mountain and
was believed to be an admirer of the
young Gebutante.
Ronald was longing to see Evelyn
again. but he met the two sisters and
their escorts sooner than he, desired.
He had taken his books and fishing
tackle to shady nook on the river
bank and was just getting settled
when he heard merry laughter in the
wood between the river and the road
and moment later the two couples
emerged from the tangle of cane. vines
and foliage. Instinctively Ronald drew
his wide-brimmed straw hat down over
his eyes, and Evelyn did not recog-
nize him for a moment. He had re-
solved that he should never speak. to
her again unless she showed dispo-
sition to renew their informal ac-
quaintance, and he was averse to put
ting her to the test before the 9TH
ers. But Capt. Wrinkle knew by sight
Che did not bother himself with their
names) nearly all of what he jocularly
termed 1.-The white trash" of that Sec
ton, and he usually addressed them
without ceremony or courtesy. For a
moment he paused watching Ronald's
line, and then he asked:
"Are they biting, my man?"
Ronald felt the hot blood of anger
rush to his face and his fingers tight
ened on his rod. 1t was on his tongue
to retort sharply, but Evelyn's pres
ence helped him control his temper.
He made no reply. Capt. Wrinkle curled
his mustache with his white fingers;
he thought the fisherman had not heard
his question.
II see you have some bait, my good
fellow" he said in louder tone. "Will
you let me have some of your crickets?
the boy has not come with ours" and
the captain tossed silver coin on the
grass near Ronald. There was pause.
Ronald was conscious that Evelyn and
Mr.. Hardy had moved on and that Miss
Caroline was waiting for Wrinkle. Then
our hero picked up the piece of silver
and tossed it into the stream, at the
same moment he dotted his hat and
lifted his basket of crickets.
you are welcome to Them" he said,
II should hate to see ladies lose their
sport"
"oh, no, Capt. Winkle!" objected Miss
Caroline, do not mind them; we are
very much obliged, / hear the boy COM
ing now"
AS she turned away and the captain
was following her he looked back and
said with sheer:
II think, Miss Hasbrooke, that we'd
better go further down the stream;
he'll be diving for that money and will
brighten all the fish,"
Ronald's ear had never been so acute;
he heard Caroline Hasbrooke's low,
guarded voice above the rustling Of the

JOAQUIN MILLER's WOUNDS.
A Bullet Shattered His Arm-An Ar
row Pierced His Leg.

From the SEATTLE Post.Intellgencer
Joaqin Miller, being 81 real poet, Is
privileged to be as unique as he pleases
and he has always pleased to culti-
vate as many harmless idiosyncrasies
as he had time for aside from dash
ing off a gem of poetry now and then.
He insists that there is method in
most of his madness; for instance, his
long hair and flowing beard hide ugly
scars made by the red mans arrow
long ago. He has always been noted
for handwriting more illegible even
than that of Horace Greeley. He
started for the Klondike with the first
of '97, in the capacity of correspondent
for a San Francisco newspaper and a
number of eastern periodicals. One of
his first letters. containing his famous
poem on the Chilkoot, having arrived
by mail in this city. was ordered
transmitted to the San Francisco pa
per by telegraph. Then a difficulty
arose, not a telegraph operator nor
a copy reader in town could make
meaning out of his lines, which resem-
blcd silhOuettes of the Sierras. The
San Francisco newspaper telegraphed
an offer of $500 to any one who could
letter was forwarded by mail. to be
dcciphered finally by his private sec
retary in San Francisco The incident
was mentioned iokingly to the poet
yesterday. and he quickly rolled up
the sleeve of his right arm, showing
the scar of a bullet which had passed
completely through the forearm, in
juring the nerves and cords of the

said Mr. Miller. that while I am un-
happily conscious of my bad writing,
it is not affectation."
Ex-Governor Semple an old friend
of Mr.. Miller, was present. and told
how the matter of the arrow wound
in Mr.. Millers features had come to
his personal knowledge; this led to a
discussion of the cause of the poets
lameness. Il am not nearly so lame
now as / was 20 years ago" said Mr..
Miller. THAT lameness was caused by
another arrow wound many years ago.
| never could understand why the DID
wound should continue to trouble me
until one day in Dawson, soon after
I had completed that long Yukon jour
ney, | chanced to scratch my finger
on my leg while taking a bath. To
my surprise | found it was a piece
of flint, which / drew out of my leg.
That endless wal<ing-'pushing' as
they call it-had done it,"
In conversation Mr.. Miller Is eX-
ceedingly original, his talk sparkling
with quaint conceits of expression and
odd turns of thought. In prose he has
contributed much excellent work to
literature. and in poetry many of his
admirers think that age is improving,
like wine, the quality of his verse.
