A Mining Camp Story.

mining lamp SSory.
"Mantown" had been showed in for
ty days. 1t was on the night before a
Christmas the thing happened which I
am going to tell you. You will not
find Mantown on the map of Califor-
mia, for the reason that it mostly
ceased to be before the map was made.
When the Parson, who was an early
riser, threw the wet fioursack he had
wiped his hands and face on at my
head and said: 1.-The old lady up
there's pickin' her geese, Tom,"' and
Polaris and l looked out and saw the
feathery white flakes falling, we
laughed. When 1t kept on and on till
the snow was nine feet deep the laugh
was on the other side of our mouth
The snow settled and froze, and we
were in for it.
There was whisky enough and pro-
visions enough, so that we did not
fear dying of thirst and hunger, but
we were pining for amusement.
Forty days and forty nights shaking
dice and playing poker at. the Red
Goose had become. monotof6qS The
Red Goose was a saloon. TheSwa 1t
got it's name was this-whichs Is also
the beginning of the end of the thing
that happened. 1t was all finished,
the saloon was, and ready for Dusi-
ness, and a big smooth signboard
waiting to be painted, but there wasn't
man there could paint it. We were
falling into the way of speaking OF 1t
as "Old Bob's" when along came a
dandy-looKing young chap
Old Bob asked him If he could paint
sign for a saloon. He asked what
kind of a sign was wanted. Old BOD
told him he wanted figure of great
originality and one that would tell the
name without any printed matter. He
always put on airs in his speech when
| he thought he knew more than the
| other fellow did, and the dandy CHAP
was understanding, in spite OF his
| clothes.
Well, the stranger took the job, and
when it was done and put up over the
door and old Bob came out to size 1t
I'D he was roaring mad. He swore he
wouldn't pay for it. The figures paint
ed on it was a big red goose. The
paintcr called all the town to prove
that he had painted according to order
by asking each one separately what 1t
vas. Every one of them said, Red
| Goose" He then asked pointedly II
ii was not of great originality" and
every one to a man said it was the
first red goose they had ever seen.
So old Bob had to pay for the. sign
and set up the drinks besides.

and her idea of duty became very
planned of the trouble the baby was
giving her, in addition to which there
was trifle of jealousy. Mr.. Wer-
theimer devoted all his time to the In
FAINT and none to her. True, she had
never invited his caresses, but that
did not make any difference; the baby
had wedged in between them, and she
was crowded out Of her rightful,
though unappropriated place.
The matter ranked in Mrs. Wer-
theimer's mind, and the thought of
getting rid of 1t grew in her heart.
So 1t was, that one night when Mr..
Wertheimer had hurried home, ready
for romp before supper, there were
no signs of life in the house; no bark.

the fire to himself. He stretched his
long. slender fingers in the warmth
Of the large blaze, warmed his feet
at 1t and turned his back to warm.
His eyes wandered round the big,
ugly room and lit on the piano.
The man at the fire set his glance
so Questioningly on the instrument
that Polaris volunteered to tell him
that 1t was a "pyanner," and asked
him II he could play on the "critter."
He said he used to play little. and
began to rub his hands together. In
a minute a dozen voices were urging
him to play. He said he was afraid
his fingers were too stir. They gave
him a drink of whisky and seated
him at the piano. He ran his fingers
along the keys several times and be-
gan to play. The men looked up from
their cards. He played the piece
through and part Of THE Girl Left.
behind Me-" and stopped to rub his
hands and straighten his fingers.
He threw his head back and the
long, wind-blown hair slid down on
his shoulders. His voice rose In vol
ume and richness and thrilled us with
it's vibrant sweetness.
Plank by plank the blood-stained
1oor slipped out; inch by inch the
smoke-grimed walls dissolved; the
bottles and glasses melted away.
The thousands of miles of savage
wilderness and trackless desert they
mad conquered to reach this golden
fringe of creation were not. And out
OF the pure white moonlight and the
diamond-crystaled snow stole in. the
races and forms at home, sweet home.
There was grand roll of song and
sound, a low, slow wall of melody, a
snap, twang and silence.
The men waited, each in his atti.
tude of listening, for the length of a
breath, and then one big, concordant
sigh broke the stiffness. By ones and
twos and threes, without word or q
sign, they went out into the silence
and the snow.
This would be good place to stop
the story, but it did not happen that
way at the Red Goose.
The first ones in to get their morn
ing dram" found the proprietor in q
towering rage. He said he thought
that old musician a nugget forty
karats fine that had just rolled itself
into his hands for a Christmas pres

fire, taking the grizzly bear skin from

for him, and told him there was plenty
Of wood in the corner and for him to
just help himselfxat the bar. And
when he put his head in at the parti-
ton door and called Christmas Gift"
to wake the old chap up to breakfast
he was gone. So was the grizzly skin
he slept on-so was the gold in the
box on the wall end of the bar; four
thousand dollars in gold dust-every
ounce of 1t gone.

he went away this morning without
kissing me good-by, thing he has
never done BEFORE" and she wept at
the terrible recollection. Then rcov-
ering herself, she snapped out:
"Take it away. never want to
see another baby"
When Mr.. Wertheimer returned
that evening, there was the baby in
her accustomed place on the floor,
with the dog performing his old
tricks, and the bird splitting it's
throat with melody, the cat purring
an accompaniment. But what was
more to him, there was his wife who
met him at the door with loving
caress, something that had not hap
pened since their honeymoon, a long
time before.
"Hurrah for the baby!" he shouted.
"This is what call happy family"
Mrs. Wertheimer put the baby in his
arms.
at is our New Years baby, dear
husband" she said softly; my cruel
conduct"
mo more Of that" said Mr.. Wer-
theimer, hugging wife and baby to-
gether. "The past is forgotten, and
we shall begin the New Year over
again, but we must give the baby
an appropriate name. have it" he
exclaimed after moments thought.
.'Roxana, that's her name; 1t means
The Dawn of Day. and that's what
she has been to us. So. here you are,

and string of children too young to

that the world was cold and unfeeling,
for the neighbors, instead of Offering
any assistance, intimated quite plain
ly that poor people who kept on hav'
ing children should be able to pro-
vide for them without holding outsid'
ers responsible by soliciting help"
In spite of its unwelcome reception
the seventh Hopkins was really the
finest of the lot, bright, healthy and
attractive baby. In his extremity the
father advertised 1t for adoption, and
his advertisement was what Mrs. Wer-
theimer saw, when in the throes OF
her desire to procure one. 1t was
windfall, and as soon as she set her
eyes upon it she recognized a fine
brand to be snatched from the burn

not say 1t, because l know now that
l was wrong. My heart Is big enough
for both you and the baby, so let us
go after it before we do anything
else.'
But the baby was not there, another
woman who wanted baby having
taken it away. 1t was too late that
evening to do more, SO procuring the
address, Mrs. Wertheimer resolved to
start after her baby early IN the
morning-it was her baby now, truly
A vigorous. impatient pull at the
bell and a young woman with weak
childish face appeared. There were
traces of recent tears, and the cheeks
were red with much rubbing.
IF this is Mrs. Harris, permit me TO
enter and state the object OF my
visit" said Mrs. Wertheimer, with
many misgivings.
But when she had entered, she
heard baby's soft gurgle, and sure
enough, there was her baby on the
bed in an inner room, as sweet ana as
dimpled as ever, making tne pesl VI
it in her strange quarters. Mrs. Wer,
theimer told her story and begged
Mrs. Harris to let her have the baby
hack.
81 can never be happy without 1t"
she confessed, with tears running
down her cheeks.
"Well, now, isn't that funny" said
Mrs. Harris. 81 made up my MIND
that must have baby because all
nv friends were poking fun at me for
being without one. So | thought
| would surprise my husband and
have one here some night ready fol

ing, and adopted 1t at once, but MT.
Hopkins was not to deliver the baby
girl until an hour or so before the
husbands homecoming on New
Years ever so as to be surprise for
him.
When Mr.. Wertheimer returned
home after his days toll on the even
ing in question, he was amazed to find
sprawling on the floor, surrounded
with soft pillows, chubby-faced,
blue-eyed infant, with little wisps of
golden curls hanging around shape
ly head. 1t was bobhing around in a
wobbly fashion, its tiny hands
stretched out trying to reach large
gray cat, wisely sitting just beyond
it's grasp, blinking at the new acquisi-
ton in sleepy wonder Jack, the dog,
was manifesting his approval of the
new arrival by furiously barking and
wagging his stumpy tail, at the same
time frisking around and upsetting
the cat, drawing her about by the
tall and performing other astonishing
feats to entertain the baby.
Great Caesar!" he exclaimed.
Whats the row anyway? Have you
started a menagerie?"
This is our baby" exclaimed Mrs.
Wertheimer, relating her experience
and intentions.
well, now we'll have some fun and
life around the house." said he, get
ting down on the floor to investigate
the new plaything. "Shes mighty
pretty, anyway" was his decision. In
a few moments he was mixed UP with
baby, dog and cat in such noisy
revel that his wife, with an express
sion of disapproval, came in from the
kitchen, where she had gone to pre-
pare supper.
John, didn't know you could make
such fool of yourself. Just look at
your clothes, all lint and dust, and
you are making more noise than the
whole lot put together. Have you no
consideration for the neighbors?"
"Well, what did you get her for, If
you don't want me to play with herr"
And he laughed good-naturedly. II

az took her." responded his wife Sc
verify, because 1t is our duty to make
a home for some child that didn't
have a good one. You'll make such a
fuss over this one that 1t will soon be
spoiled, and l want it to grow up
good and sensible. have my own
ideas about its training. Come, get
up, supper's ready"
For two weeks Mr.. Wertheimer lived
in paradise. and, strange to say, he
never once went out in the evening
But not so Mrs. wertheimer. Babies

ton; she had not calculated on this,

some love in her heart, If not Tor ner
husband, then at least for helpiess
babe, but you-a nice religion you
have, with all your prating ABOUT
Christian duty and charity-it is des-

Mrs. Wertheimer was appalled, at
this outburst from her. husband VINO
had always been kind and gentle' anu
his contemptuous look and bitter IAN
guage frightened her. Womaniike'
she began to cry, at which her nus
band softened and looked surprised

with that he turned away, but MS
wife, whose eyes were opened to the
full significance of what she, had done,
called him back and putting her
hands upon his shoulders looked MIN
full in the face, with strange, un-
wonted expression in her eyes.
John, l must tell you the truth
now II was not heartlessness, 1t was
because-oh, John, do you not under
stand? I was jealous of your love for
the child. I was afraid you had ceased
to love me. My hardness was all as
samed, John. Say you forgive me-
and will go this moment and get the
child again"
The woman's habitual reserve
melted under the tender caress OF heI
husband.
Dear wife, l have always loved
you, but 1t seemed to me that you die

theimer's amusements when on duty
but he had grown weary OF the mon
otony of all three and wanted some
thing human that he could love, pet
and perish-animals did not seem TO
I'LL the void in his heart. Moreover,
he was a jolly sort of a man and felt
the need of something to bubble anu
gush over. His home environments
werewolf, were somewhat frigid.
On the contrary, Mrs. Wertheimer
was a strict disciplinarian on the
score of duty, dogmatic and unyield-
ing in her disposition, and opposed
to sentimental displays; even her
smiles when she forgot herself and
indulged in such worldliness, were
frost-bitten. But she had gathered
the idea at the Woman's club, during
q protracted and heated discussion on
the subject, that it was the duty OF
every woman to assume the guard
ianship OF at least one embryo
human being, for the purpose of train
ing it according to the standard recog-
nized by the club, in the right way, or
course, and thus save an immortal
soul from contamination by the wick
edness of the world, which was badly
IN need of making over again. Be-
sides that, the lady had noticed the
waning influence of the dog, cat and
bird to keep Mr.. Wertheimer at home
in the evenings. Hence, Mrs. Wer.
theimer thought baby in the house
might accomplish a double object, to
wit: A halo and stay-at-home nus
hand.
Let me see," she said, pausing in
her busting, John and quarreled on
Thanksgiving day, and to make him
understand that he was in the wrong

dessert was bread pudding instead Of

I'm with him, think l will present
him with a baby on New Years day
and that will keep him at home fol
a year at least. But where shall
get one?"
Now 1t so happened that Mr.. Johr
Hopkins had more children than hi
could care for; half a dozen of then
reaching up like the steps of ladder
all vigorously healthy and constantly
clamoring for something to eat ant
wear. His wages not increasing will
his family, it was very difficult to ge
!. even bread. To add to his misery
Mrs. Hopkins committed the folly o
presenting him with a seventh, and
"a a last straw, she up and died II

sorlorn with an eight-months-old bab'
