her, ~"mignonette.'
He would not ave spoken so to one
who would lave quite understood him, but
She, who had gathered all she knew at
the humble school Of the small Vermont
town, had never heard that mignonette
means little darling" It was no new
thing for him to speak softly when he adj
dressed her, and she ook up neither
surprised nor startled She said, Eyes,
Mr.. Harrington, 1 love mignonette."
Just then he was inclined to forget ev-
erything but that she was pretty. He
was more or less a man OF the world,
prided himself on his family and spent
a generous income in a generous way. To
his great surprise he found amusement
and interest this summe in a home that
was very dear to his mother in years gone
by. 1t was true he had fallen in love
with a country girl, humble even among
simple people in her position, for she was
poor and the %grandchild of two old people
who could leave her nothing.

An Unhappy Wife on Love.

Confessions of a Wife In the Century:
1T seems to me that IL we could go back
and try all over again, we might be happy
vet. Love does not die. Love is the life
everlasting. It suffers maladies and
syncopes, and 1t may be hard besteadsand
hay to fight for its life-but it is alive.
Dana, and 1t must beScherished Ill any
other living thing. We have laws and pen
alties3for the slayers of men. What court
sits In Judgment on the murderers Of
love? Somewhere in the spaces and ST.
lences there must be such an inyiolate
bar. Shall you and I go there, h~andcuffed
together, waiting judgment Oh, my darl-
ing, What can we plead? Mighty joy was
INCUR power, and we slew It, between us.
We were the happiest lovers, ours was the
maddest, gladdest bridal. we had reyer-
ence and ecstasy, and u real went SO
far asto outrun our ideal that we left
our ideal behind us-and now the feet Of
our real move heavily, and the race is
spent. We covered the face of delight
with our marriage pillows, and smothered

was a wedding and a reception in a fash
ionable ~graystone house overlooking the
Hudson. Then came the honeymoon,
spent in Florida, for the chill was already
in the air. Before the honeymoon was
over Harrington had discovered that he
never loved his wife. He was always
thinking of a little black-haired girl in
the mountains of Vermont.
His wife, who had been a belle in So
ciety, discovered the truth in a brief space
Of time. She intended to be a true wife,
but she now took revenge in kind-to
make her husband jealous was the task
of her life. She fiirted as she had never
done in her girlish days. And as there
is no danger of going too far with one
who cannot be angling for a husband, a
married woman can fiirt when she
pleases. The husband watched her with
mad, jealous eyes, and the unhappy
match ended in a quarrel, then a separa-
ton. 4S
He went abroad and his wife led a gay
life apart from him and was the subject
of much talk. One day news came to
him that she had died. He returned to his
New York home, was seen at his clubs oc-
casionally and took more interest in the
worlds doings. Rose and her m~ignonette
were slowly re-entering his mind.
1t had been his fault that she had been
wretched and had made him so, but he
never thought of hat. He only felt tina
he was free. Rose had not married and

and looked down into her eyes and said:
Rose, be my mignonette?"
What he meant dawned upon her. She
blushed and trembled. Then he spoke
more plainly: IT love you, Rose; will you
be my wife?" She W yes"
Afterward they sat just so, his arm
about her waist, her work dropped in her
lap under her small brown hands,. Then
a voice broke the charm, a harsh old voice
with a nasal twang. Rose" it said, "yew
come in tew tea and p'raps, Mr.. Harrin'
tun, yew better come tews''
But the gentleman addressed declined
and took his, way honleward. Walking
over the country road to the fine home on
the hill he thought of many things. His
thoughts were not altogether satisfying.
IT shall take Rose away" he muttered.
"These people will be nothing to US. We
will travel ayear or two and she will ac-
quire the necessary manners"
When they parted he put a ring upon
her finger and promised to come for her
Of course-and that was a pleasant thing
to Rose. And he left her with moist eyes
and a little bunch of mignonette.
The summer holidays had ended and the
fashionable world had come to the city
again to keep its winter holiday, Har-
rington found everything as Of yore, and
as many gay beauties ready to unite upon

which could not well be ended while the

not mention Rose to his friends, because
there was time enough. At last, because
1t was an awkward business, being put off

and put them into coarse yellow envel-
opes.. Her grammar was none too care
full and she spoke far too much Of her
grandparents, who jarrsd upon Harring-
toms ,sensibilities. Z
Amidst balls, parties and dinners Miss
Hastings began to reassert her old su-

he would win her again. The world was
nothing to him. Rose should do as she,
chose. There should be nothing which he|
would not give her leave to do. And go!
he left the city behind him for the sweet
purity of the country and one of nature'sI
children.
He knew she would be proud at first
either cold or ~angry-but he would WOO so,
humbly that she should forgive him in tho,
end. AS one condemned to death might
pray for Pity and mercy he would beseech
Rose for pity and pardon. And then, yes,
she would let him draw her to his heart.
and touch her brow with his lips, and call
her Mignonette, his little darling.
He had come to this thought when this
door opened and he stood ready to greet
Rose.
But 1T was not Rose, only her old grand.rs
mother, common of feature as ever, but
with a strange grief-stricken face. She
did not see him, but went straight to the
beds of mignonette and began to pluck
handfuls with her horny hands Thsn no
spoke to her and she looked up.

first, Mr.. Harrin'tun. I tho't was the
minister. You're aged and you're kind O.
gray. Yes, these are for Rose. I used to
be hard on her for liken EN-, SO I'm
afraid. But I wanted her to be steady.

Then came a sob. Harrington caught
the old .woman's arm.
What is it? What has happened? %
II reckon you knew Rose was dead.
You see she kind O. faded when your let
ters stopped comm. she wouldn't tell
me. I supposed you quarreled. She got
tired Of things and sat a great deal by
herself. Plenty wanted her. She was
pretty, but she didn't seem to care. Six
months ago she was took down. There
was no hope then, and yesterday she died.
Says she, 'Grannie, it's most over; when
I'm gone put his letter in the grave with
me, and put mignonette in my hair. And
tell him, says she, for I think he'll come,
that I always loved him Perhaps you'd
like to see her??"'
Harrington followed her and saw Rose
dead, with his letters unon her bosom.
Little Of him was ever seen in his native
country after that. Until the old people
died he saw that they wanted nothing.
Faithful at last to the one love of his
life he made pilgrimages to her grave.

Liner Power Drill.

The Liner machine drill is being
tried on the Del Monte mine in Gala
veras county. The Burleigh, which
has been in use since machine work
was introduced there, was found to be
very slow in getting through the un-
usually hard rock that has been en-
countered The Liner drill was recon-
mended as big Improvement upon
the old style machine. A spare one
which had been used for trial purposes
in Sutter Creek-was secured, for test
purposes. 1t was taken to the mine
two or three weeks ago and started.
For some reason the apparatus did not
work satisfactory, so the agent was
notified, and came up to the mine to
personally superintend the operations.
and to instruct those in charge how to
run it to advantage. Under his charge,
however, the results did not come up
to expectations. The rock proved to
be too hard for the drills, and breaks
were too frequent to suit the company.
The conclusion was reached that the
steel in the drills was not of the right
temperament. A new machine has
been sent for. 1t is claimed that under
ordinary conditions the Liner machine
will do at least 25 per cent more work
than the old drills, while the harder
the rock the greater the difference
in favor of the new machine.

Charged with Burglary.

The saloon of Neil Hamm, on the
Main street of lone, was burglarized
and robbed some time during Tuesday
night. Within a few hours of the COM
mission of the crime, Charles Young,
charged with the offense, was landed
by sheriff Norman in the county Jail.
From the particulars that we have
been able to CLEAN of this robbery, it
was a carefully planned affair. 1t
seems that Young had been around
lone for several days, following gam
bling as an occupation. His folks live
on ranch mile or two out of Gait,
where Young, who is about "a years
of age, was brought up. During Tues
day he had been In and out of the
saloon number OF times, and his
actions were regarded as peculiar, so
much so as to arouse the suspicion of
the proprietor. On opening up next
morning, it was discovered that the
premises had been entered through the
rear door, the till ransacked of its con-
tents, $1.40, and the two nickel-iu-the-
slot machines opened, and rified of
their contents, amounting to $14. 10,
making Sl5 so in all. An Investigation
showed that couple of nails that had
been placed in the windows in place of
the usual spring catches to prevent the
window from being opened from the
outside, had been removed. The bur-
glar, however, did not enter through
the window, but broke the back door,
so as to enable him to insert his arm
and unlock it. Sheriff Norman and
Deputy jackson at once repaired to the
scene. Young was soon placed under
arrest. Articles of an discriminating
character were found upon him. We
understand that the money has been
recovered, the accused informing the
officer that he had hid it upon the roof
of the burglarized premises. The case
is so strong, that Young does not deny
the affair. He was brought to the
county jail Wednesday night, where
he now lies awaiting examination

To a Premature Grave.

Charles Eugene Armstrong, son ot
the late Judge G. B. Armstrong, for
several years superior judge of ANA
dor county, died at the home of his
mother in Jackson on Saturday morn
ing, after lingering illness. He was
aged 10 years and 16 days, and was born
in Jackson. His removal on the
threshold of manhood, and with a
promising career apparently opening
up before him, cast feeling of gloom
over not only his relatives but all who
were acquainted with him. He was
the only child of his parents. His rela-
tives anticipated bright future for
him. In the public school he dis
played unusual talents, and there is no
doubt he possessed mental powers far
above the average. After graduating
from the Jackson school, he was sent
to attend st. Mary's school at Oak
land, with the intention of fitting him
self for professional life. 1t was his
ambition to become a lawyer, follow
ing in the footsteps of his father. There
is no doubt that his intellectual qualifi-
cations specially adapted him for the
work which he had set his heart to
accomplish. But while the spirit was
willing the flesh was weak. Soon after
resuming his studies at the last term
of school, be was taken sick, and for
several weeks was treated at one of the
sanitariums in the city. The sickness
developed serious heart trouble, and
other grave complications. AS soon
as he was well enough to stand the
journey he returned to Jackson, reach
ing home about a month ago. His
medical advisers here, upon examina-
tion, found that his condition was very
critical. From the start little hope of
recovery was held out. He was con-
fined to his bed for about week before
the final summons came. He leaves a
grandmother, and other rela-
tives to mourn his untimely death.
The funeral took place at 10 o'clock
last Monday from ST. Patrick's Cath
olic church with mass, Rev. Father
Gleeson officiating. Many kind friends
the funeral, and did all in.
their power to assist the heartbroken
in her bereavement.
The pallbearers, all schoolmates of
the deceased, we're: Eugene Devan,
Chas. Cademartori, Alphonse Marie,
Ed Delahide, Chas. Williams. and
Frank Firenzi.

Schoolmates Wed,

Thomas Bennett of San Francisco,
an exemplary young man, who has
spent the greater portion of his life in
Jackson, returned to his old home a
few days ago, and before his many ac-
quaintances realized his presence, he
had taken his departure-but not alone.
One of Jackson's sweetest girls accom-
panied him as his bride. It is pretty
story to tell. A romance of school DAYS,
and the truthfulness of the beautiful
words, "Absenoe makes the heart grow
fonder."
The happy couple were quietly mar
ried at the residence of the BRIDES
mother, Mrs. E. Crowgey, in north
Jackson, Tuesday morning, MAY 26,
by Rev. G. Fl. Van Vliet. Only rela-
tives of the couple we're present. An
exception to most weddings was de-
parted from, as the brides sister, Miss
Minnie Northey, and the groom s
father, James Bennett, stood up with
them. Who could more aptly vouch
for son than the father, or a sister
for a sister? The bride wore a pleas
ing dress of cream alpaca and silk,
which was quite in keeping with her
true nature, modesty, and refinement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett left the bride s
late home amidst showers of rice and
rose leaves. They were driven to lone,
where they took the evening train for
San Francisco, which will be their
future home.
Many beautiful and useful presents
were received from friends in Jackson,
Vallejo, and San Francisco.
Miss Northey will be missed by ever
so many of Jackson's people, as her
pleasant ways won her friends innumer-
able. She was worthy member of
the Methodist church, and from whose
circle she will be missed as well.
Mr.. Bennett is prosperous and in
dustrious mechanic, and appreciative
of all that is good. What couple
could be better fitted to enjoy life's
blessings,
