Home From MaZatIan.

"Wednesday mornings delayed pass
 enger train from Guaymas brought
 back to the United States jolly party
 of Americans, some of whom were so
 glad to get home they could scarely
 refrain from shouting for joy.
 There were five gentlemen in the party which came direct from the City of Mazatlan, Mexico, where three of the party had been through the terri
 ble days when that city was stricken by the bubonic plague. The gentle men who, for d couple years resided in
 Mazatlan, were Col. E l.. Baker of 713, West lst street, Los Angeles, one Of the best known most experienced mining men in the two republics The colonel who has read and travelled much, was the leader of the congenial and interesting party of home corners The colonel had been stricken by the dreadful plague and today carries seventy two marks as a remembrance not that any are needed of those terri ble days which he says were hell. The gentleman while at Mazatlan purchas- ed group of very valuable mines, which are situated near that city. They will be developed and operated by Los Angeles capitalists of whom Colonel Baker is the head and leading spirit.
 Another interesting member of the party was Lawrence Desborough, young gentleman of Chicago, who for four years had been living in Mexico, the last two of which were at Mazs- tlan where he was proprietor of soda hAff ret, he I would have made him a rich man if business While Mir Desborugh escaped the plague, he said he would not for the wealth of a Solomon, % what he did during the days ! in stricken Mazatlan. when 'the dead 1 were carried to the hospital and the | live to the Morgue."
 The third gentleman who has for | number of years resided in Mexico, | to the name of '.Topoiobam mpo | Bill" He said ''Oh, the plague never me; I have some unfinished | business here in the United States; when I get that settled I am going back to Mexico. I like the country and the country agrees with me.
 The other two members of the party from Mazatlan were Albian Kennedy of this city, who a month ago left here for Mazatlan to better his fortune, and H o. Sullivan, a well known ex- perienced building contractor of Tue son, who went south a month ago, to assist in the up building of Mazatlan, T large portion of which was destroyed by fire during the dreadful days of the ola uue Mir Sullivan may return later to MaZa tan.
 Thursday morning Messrs. Baker, Desborough, Sullivan and "Topolo- oampo Bill" continued on north en route to their various destinations.

Noel Thornton, feeling very much a
martyr to duty, walked up the old
elm-lined street IN the gray gloom Of
the winter afternoon He wondered
| irritably If there was any corner Of
the globe where the family had no
connections or friends for him TO
hunt up.
And while you are in Exmouth, %
his mother had said, be sure and call
on Miss Emmeline. You know she
was one Of your grandfather's stanch-
est friends. It was she, you remem-
Der, who wrote those charming qua
trains at the time Of his death Be
sure you call on her, Noel"
A delay in forwarding Orders had
temporarily stopped work on the
bridge, and back at the hotel he had
so reluctantly quilted the other engi-
neers were starting a game Of pitch.
Instead Of enjoying that game with
them, as by all the laws and the
prophets he should have been doing,
he was tramping up this endless street
to call on lady Of much intellect and
many years
The fact that Miss Emmeline had
been a friend Of his philosopher grand
father CNoel termed his ancestor a
brainy old boy, but way beyond him'')
filed him with dismal fOrebOdings-
He fancied himself endeavOring to
keep pace with Miss Emmeline's CON
versatiOn, and grOaned inwardly. New
ertheless, he walked briskly on, and
presently stopped before a huge old
colonial house on whose polished door
plate shone the name Calvert"
He mounted the steps and gave sew
eTaI resOunding blows with the brass
knOcker.
To the pOrtly cOlOred woman who
answered his summons he handed his
card, and was shown into what evil
IDENTIFY was the reception room. It
was huge and dim, but furnished
modernly and with quiet taste
A fire sputtered cheerfulIy on the
broad hearth, and by the windows
were azaIia bushes in full bloom. On
the wall he saw a large oil painting Of
his intellectual grandfather. He had
risen and was standing before this
when a soft voice said:
And this is Mr.. Noel Thornton. I'm
charmed to meet you"
Noel turned. There was a faint
smell OF lavender in the room. In
the doorway stood Miss Emmeline.
It seemed to him that some beauty
OF several decades ago had come sud
denly to life from some old canvas,
and had walked straight from the
frame to him.
Her dress Of green silk was cut in
the absurd fashion Of the early ifties;
her fresh, plump hands were half hid
den in black mitts; her gray hair
made strange little cOrkscrew curls
about her temples
But her face bore no trace OF wrin-
kIes, her round cheeks were touched
with delicate color, her lips were full
and red, and her dark eyes sparkled
like a girls.
Good heavens" Noel was thinking
to himself, "and the woman is 76I"
He took her extended hand and
bowed low. Miss Calvert" was all
he was able to murmur.
ITS so good Of you to come" she
