BRET HARTE IN ENGLAND.
How Some of His Admirers ANNOYED
Him-Woud Not Play Stakes.

Mrs. NJ. S. Boyd, in some recent
"reminiscences of Bret Harte in
Harper's Magazine, says that the
famous writer of early California
rough life of the mining camp, by no
means held a brief for the pro-
fessional gambler" however pic
turesquely he depicted him. In fact.
he strongly objected to card playing
for money, however low the stakes
and irreproachably honest the
players.
When he was our guest one
autumn in the country" she adds,
''by his desire the stakes played for
at our after-dinner game were in
variably scarlet haws picked from
the Sussex hedgerows."
Her recollections are quite in har-
mony with those of other &C.
quaintances of Mr.. Harte, one of
whom remembers his annoyance at
the persistence of young English
man who wished to learn from him
about the great American game"
and how the author avoided the ex-
bluffing by an equally persistent
misunderstanding.
''Oh, so you say great game over
here?" he inquired last. 'Tn the
States, now, we call it big game
grizzlies, catamounts, buffalo and
bighorn, don't you know. But we
don't chase them with pokers. No,
no! they're abundant, but they don't
often come into the houses, really.
It's usually necessary to go outside
with a gun"
1t was still more annoying to him
in the early days of his fame to be
suspected of reproducing adventures
and experiences of his own in those
of his heroes, who were frequently
as much rascal as hero, or all rascal
and not hero at all, for he was deal
ing with wild times and rough
characters. A friend once reported
to him, with much amusement. that
very charming woman had inquired
in confidence if Mr.. Harte were NOT
himself a reformed gambler.
Not reformed responded Bret
Harte with a serious shake of his
head. Tell her l am beyond
reformation. Tell her l was my own
model for the gambler Oakhurst, and
say the scene of his suicide is pure
autobiography"

! was time to go home. He mounted
bicycle and started off toward his
home. The boys dispersed, and
Deacon Frielink declared there was
nothing to suspect.
Californian was sure of his ground,
however, and insited that they wait.
Soon the minister came riding into
sight again, dismounted and entered
his study. A young woman soon fol-
lowed him. Then the blinds of the
study windows were suddenly drawn,
light appeared, and the deacons
prayed sorrowfully.
Hour after hour they waited, steal
ing up to the windows at times. Then
the two summoned a third deacon, and
all three waited for another hour. The
light finally went out, and Mcdonald
appeared in the back door of the
church. With him was Miss Wilcox,
and she stepped out to the sidewalk
as the minister locked the door behind
him.
The Geacons came from the shelter
of the church shed and confronted
their pastor.
what does this mean?" demanded
one.
why, how do you do, gentlemen,
I-I-that is-myself and Miss Wilcox
have been studying up some matters
tonight, and-surely you don't think
anything wrong of us?"
With voices free from anger, yet
weighted down with disappointment
and grief, the three deacons told Nc
Donald what they thought. Then all
went back into the study and talked
until O'Clock that morning
Not once did Mcdonald admit any
thing wrong. The girl remained silent
throughout, only by her tears adding
to the continued entreaty of Mcdonald
that the matter be overlooked Nc
Donald did admit that he had done
wrong IN acting so that the names of
himself and the girl would be coupled
together. but he denied anything of
wrong intent.
He said he would publicly acknowl-
edge to his congregation that he had
been indiscreet, and promised faith
fully to tramp the straight line of
moral conduct ever afterward If the
matter be overlooked. He admitted
his error" and pleaded forgiveness.
He pledged his ministerial word to be
as good as the angels, and finally the
guilty pair departed, with the under
standing that nothing more would be
said of the matter if Mcdonald kept
his word.
rendered His Resignation.
Instead of doing this, however, he
continued to meet the young woman.
This caused so much talk that in Jan
uary Mcdonald rendered his resigna-
ton as pastor. This was done at
prayer meeting of the church one
Thursday evening, and many friends
OF the pastor were present. The stories
about him had bitterly divided the
church, and majority stood up vail
antly for the man whom they loved.
declaring openly that he should re-
main. whether right or wrong. The
resignation was read, and by a major
ity vote of those present. the church

refused to accept it. a week later Nc
Donald was forced by moral suasion''
to leave Bethel Baptist church, in spite
OF this unfolding influence in the con-
gregation.
In spite of all that has been said
against him, in spite of his discarding
of the ministry for the bar of a saloon.
in spite of the revelation of his true
character made in this city. many
people here still love the man, regard
him as power for good in Tie world.

every man, but too strong in Nc

the deacon. Mcdonald certainly did

hard for the church and did a great
deal of good. | can never explain the
rest. He never admitted anything
criminally wrong; but we knew. Now
we are trying to forget the evil and
remember the good. We are trying to
forget all about the trouble and build
the church up on eternal lines.
Whatever happens to Mcdonald;
whatever he does, may God have
mercy on him!"
Miss Wilcox, the young woman in
the case, is stunning blonde, with
fine figure. She was inexperienced
when she came to Kalamazoo from a
nearby village. Mcdonald himself is
a blonde, of athletic build.
The Rev. Mr.. McDonald's saloon in
the Bronx is typical of it's class, and
is said to have been fitted up at cost
OF $4,000. The money for his latest
venture, Mcdonald says, he did not
get from preaching, but from property
belonging to his wife and located in
Syracuse. The permanent sign above
the saloon, which is of the usual gilded
Gambrinus variety, bears the name of
Thomas j. Mcclure, but that name is
only a Renaissance of the former
management Mcdonald bought the
saloon from Mcguire the day after he
rendered his resignation of the pas
torate of the East Avenue church in
Long Island City.
In the end of the main barroom a
doorway leads to a commodious back
sitting-room, which has a stone floor.
and it is fitted up neatly with tables.
chairs, and panel and fretwork of
hard wood.
Above the doorway communicating
between the two apartments hangs a
large crayon of tiger couchant. over
which are crossed the stars and the
emerald flag of Ireland. The tiger and
the flags, Mcdonald explained, are also
"reminiscences of the Mcclure era.

said Mcdonald. "My own politics is
