the man they sought, and as the talk
was all of this man l could not help

to listen"

their horses and their own bedraggled
WEAKNESS. The rain fell with pitiless
steadiness, and darkness came on ear
~, with no chance Of moon being
visible that night. The welcome light
Of a town twinkled ahead at last, and
they resolved to stop there unless the
risk threatened to be overwhelming.
At the outskirts they learned that they
had reached Clitheroe, and that the
Star inn offered fair accommodation
for man and beast They were not to
reach Yorkshire that night, and had
accomplished less than thirty miles
from Manchester. rps
ALI night long the rain dashed down,
but at daybreak it ceased, although
the heavy clouds hung low in the sky.
After a good breakfast the two set
out and were not molested or ques-
toned as they passed from under the
shadow of the castle at Clitheroe.

For answer he kissed her protesting
lips again and again, then she hid her
face in his somber cloak and sobbed
quietly. The patient horses, now ac-
customed to any vagaries on the part
Of their owners, stood quietly close to-
gether.
"Goodby, goodby. goodby," she cried
breathlessly, then whisked herself from
him and was gone, never looking back,
but waving her hand as she rode. He
sat motionless as she had left him. At
the top of the distant hill, outlined
against the dark sky, she drew in and
stood. Dimly he saw the dutter of
something white in her waving hand,
and he drew from his breast her own
handkerchief and waved In return.
He pressed his hand across his eyes
and when he saw more clearly, only
the blank sky and the bare hilltop con-
fronted him.
The rain began to fall once more as
he passed again through Kirby Ste
phen, but he paid slight heed to it and
pushed on to Penrith, where be bought
a days provender, so that he would
have no need to make request for food
as he neared the danger spot. Just be-
fore darkness set in the sky cleared
somewhat, and he saw ahead of him
the gloomy bulk Of Carlisle castle. He
turned aside from the main road, and
before the night became black found
quarters for himself in barn that con-
tanned some fodder for his horse. He
threw himself down on the fragrant
hay and slept peacefully.
In the morning the rain was again
falling steadily. He reconnoitered his
position. There was no dwelling near,
and he determined to let his horse rest
all that day and the next night, so that
he should be in trim for anything that
might happen when the pinch came.
A day more or less could make little
difference with the effectual guarding
Of the bridge, which was now doubt

he striking northwest to Penrith, and
she taking the main road east, enter
ing Durham at Barnard castle. There
was no blinking the fact that while
parliamentarian trooper might pass
through this land nnquestioned, espe-
cially as so many soldiers were max
ing their way north, trooper with a
beautiful young woman Of aristocratic
appearance would certainly cause COM
ment and excite curiosity.
The nearer they came to Carlisle the
greater would be the danger of en-
barrassing questions. They had wild
country to traverse, bleak hills and
mOorland, and the roads as bad as
they could be; but, although they left
Clitheroe at o'clock it was past noon
tide before they reached Kirby Ste
phen, a distance Of less than forty
miles. They had met no one, and so
far as the morning section Of the jour-
ney was concerned, the road to Scot
land was clear enough. At the squalid
inn of Kirby Stephen they partook of
what each thought was their last meal
together for long time to come, and
then, in spite Of her protests, he &C.
companied her east out of the town
and into the lonely hill country At
last she pulled up her horse and i'm
petuously thrust out her right hand,
dashing away some tear drops from
her long lashes with her left.
'Goodby," she cried, the broken voice
belieing the assumed cheerfulness Of
the tone. II cannot allow you to come

to your scout"

Armstrong was edging away, but De
Courcy spurred the horse he rode in
semicircle to cut off his retreat. In
stantly the Frenchman raised shout
that echoed through the streets Of the

Jackson Greek Cuts a New Channel.

We are informed by residents of
Jackson valley that during the period
of high water, in the freshet of two
weeks ago, Jackson creek cut out a
new channel for itself, at point about
a quarter of mile before reaching the
new bridge constructed last season
near Buena Vista. The made
water way leaves the bridge nearly a
quarter of a mile from the main water
way newly created. Some water is
flowing in the old creek bed under the
bridge, but most of the water pursues
the new channel. The cause of this
shifting was not owing to any faulty
construction OF the approaches to the
bridge, but rather to the accumula-
tion of sand and the growing willows
and shrubbery along the banks of the
stream. The new creek makes juno
tion with the old channel at q point
about quarter of a mile below the
bridge. To keep Jackson creek per-
manently within its old banks will in
volve considerable expense.

Fell Two Thousand Feet.

An awful tragedy happened at the
Gwin mine Wednesday afternoon,
whereby Charles Levinsky, the skip
tender, was plunged headlong to his
death. 1t appears he was being hauled
out of the shaft in the empty skip.
The skip as usual, was hoisted above
the collar of the shaft, and was being
lowered to enable the man to get Off
At this moment something got wrong
with the machinery, the engineer being
unable to stop the skip. 1t is a per-
pendicular shaft, and skip and it's
human freight went down like flash,
all the efforts of the engineer to stop
its downward career proved unavailing.
1t fell to the sump, distance of 1000
feet. The cable unwound from the
reel, and went down the shaft with the
skip. OF course, Levinsky's life went
out before the downward journey was
finished. One would imagine that he
was mangled beyond recognition. But
this was not so, although scarcely an
unbroken bone remained. When found
his hands clasped the rope in death
grip, and the imprint of the cable
was left upon the flesh. The victim
was a young man 81 years of age,
born and raised in Calaveras county.
He was a member of the Paloma
miners union, under the auspices of
which organization the funeral will be
conducted to-day.

The New Church Project.

The Rev. j. w. Phelps is meeting
with gratifying success in his efforts to
remodel the M. E. church, and move it
to its proper place. Subscriptions are
coming in literally. At present the
amount subscribed and on hand foots
up over $1,000. These are all considered
perfectly good. AS the estimated cost
of the proposed building is $25O0, the
trustees feel justified in calling for bids
and letting the contract at once. The
people are taking hold of the PROPOSE
ton in downright earnest. 1t is rea-
lized that the movement is needed. and
although some may be disposed to
cavil, this only serves to make the true
friends of the church all the more de-
termined to push the project to a
speedy cOnsummatiOn. There is scarce
ly any doubt that the new M. E. church
will become an accomplished fact this
summer, and it is fully expected that
when the opening day comes, it will be
entirely free from debt.

Conditions Healthy.

There are fully 600 men employed
about the mines and mills of the four
mines within range of two miles OF
Jackson-namely the Kennedy, Zeila,
Oneida and Argonaut mines. This is
the largest number OF men employed in
mining operations in the history of this
camp during the era of quartz mining.
The money paid out monthly to sup
port this army of workers and supplies
must approximate from $500 to
800, 600 monthly. Reckoning the pop
ulation of Jackson at $500, this would
make $50 per month for every man,
woman and child, or 81 per day per
capita from the mining industry alone.
True, this is the principal source of in
come, but 1t is not the only source.
The salaries paid out for county and
township officers and for other services
will easily swell the per capita to from
10 to 20 cents additional. This money
is paid out as regularly as clockwork
Few towns of the size of Jackson can
make such showing. 1t ought to
make the county seat of Amador one of
the most thriving and prosperous
towns in the state. AS matter of
fact, it is town of hustle and thrift.
1t will compare with almost any town
of its size in the state. No matter how
thrifty a town may be, there will
always go up from some quarters cry
OF hard times. So it is here. We hear
complaints that business is dull; that
money is scarce, and hard to collect;
that wage-earners are not disposed to
spend as freely as in the past. But
after all. it is doubtless true that more
money is being circulated in Jackson at
the present time, than at any previous
period. Business houses have increased
in number perhaps in a greater ratio
than the wage -earners. So that while
more business is done than heretofore.
the average percentage for each busi-
ness man may show decline. This
may explain the complaint from some
old established business places that
times are duller than heretofore. But
as matter of fact Jackson is doing
fairly well, all kickers to the contrary
Notwithstanding. And the outlook is
encouraging for brighter and livelier
times ahead.

A New Cemetery.

A movement is on foot to secure a
new public burying ground for Jack
son. This has been crying need here
Tor many years. The interments which
have been conducted here for years
have been simply from sufferance. The
old burying ground has been used be-
cause there was no other provision for
interments. 1t Is intended to form
cemetery association, with sufficient
capital to purchase and plat out a new
graveyard, within easy distance of
town, but beyond the town limits. One
or two tracts are in view. The COM
pany will be duly Incorporated, as soon
as the necessary capital is subscribed.
1t is hoped TO secure enough ground to
allow the different orders to get sep
arate plats, also family plats at reason
able figures, and have a responsible
man to look after the grounds. The
movement is not selfish or mercenary
one. From financial standpoint, the
investors do not hope to receive at the
utmost more than a small interest on
the capital. Indeed it is not known
whether the capital required will be
forthcoming. If any one wishes to
help the movement along by taking
stock, his aid will be gladly welcomed.
The time has come when Jackson must
have decent burying ground, and as
soon as one is provided, steps will
Immediately be taken to stop further
interments in the present graveyard.
Indeed. the old graveyard ought to be,
and no doubt will be, placed under the
care and control of the cemetery asso-
citation as soon as it is organized, and
the grounds prepared for burying pur-
poses.
