an American midshipman who were 30
uproarious in their conversation that they
gave ofense to the other woman passen-
ger besides Miss Baker. Addressing the
offending midshipman, Miss Baker gave
him TO understand, in the p~lainest English,
that he must cease his undesirable lam
guage or abide by the results. The
youngster fiared up, declared that he was
an officer in the United States navy, a
man of honor, etc, and would take no
counsel from a mere sprig Of masculine
humanity. as Miss Baker appeared to be.
At the conclusion of this TRADE our
heroine ave the youth a slap on his cheek
with her glove, and then, of course, there,
was the usual conventional exchange Of
cards, with the meeting set down for a.
tavern in Newport. The immediate upshot
OF the rebuke was the abrupt cessation of
improper ak on the part of the midship-
man and his fellows. on arrival at New
port Miss Baker stepped out Of the coach,
and asked for the best inn, declaring that
she wanted a room where a little difficulty
could be settled without interference Of.

piled with the demand, for those were days
when duels and matters Of honor were of
too frequent occurrence TO arouse more
than passing interest.

pdlCllGu 10 the hdSStIlHS AiihSlllpilialls
After considerable delay the youth was
ferreted out, and his second selected pis-
tolls at ten PAGES, and the time on the fol-
lowing night. Very awkwardly, it hap
peEed that the dimensions of Miss Bakers
apartment did not permit of ten PAGES"
but that made little difference to our
heroine, for her blood was up and she
wanted fight.
The Midshipman Weakens.
At the appointed hour the clustering
midshipman appeared with his second and
a few friends. When he learned that the
meeting was to take place at a distance
of only four PAGES he gave a sickly smile
and remarked:
This looks like murder"
"It will not be murder, SIR retorted
Miss Baker, "if you keep up your pistol
as steadily as you did your offensive
tongue while in the coach"
To this essay the youth made no reply,
but he looked very blue around his gills,
as the seaman would express it.
The seconds having marked off the
meager four PAGES, the opponents took
their prescribed stations and faced each
other. There was something about the
steady land and quiet nerve of the dis
guised woman hat seemed to take all the
starch out of the young midshipman, for
as he faced the appraised pistol he seemed
to forget all about his previous blusterings,
and humbly begged that the fight might be
settled otherwise, thereby spelling an eX-
cellent scene in q dramatic plot.
On completing her tour of the southern
states Miss Baker returned to Massachu-
sets, where she was married, and became
the mother Of a respected family.

lust plain Feminine

Before the afternoon ended every man,
woman and child in the place had dropped
in at Emma Eliza Pratt's, for the story
had spread rapidly through the little viii
lage that the death of a cousin In the city
had made the lonely, elderly spinster rich
beyond Imagination,
Through II all Emma Eliza herself had
been surprisingly mute and outwardiy
unmoVed-a study and an enigma to the
lawyer who had arrived from New York
on the noon train, bringing the great
news. This gentleman promptly accepted
Emma ELIAS invitation to tea, being not
at all unwilling to observe further this
curious little woman of rural birth and
limited experience as her mind began to
grasp the fact of her new fortune.
What will she do with it?" he speculat-
ed. VIII 1t be a ca~t-and-dog hospital
or an orphan asylum? VIII she embel-
lish her native village with dubious works
of art? VIII she build herself an absurd
ly big and pretentious residence or will
she move TO the city, go abroad. and be-
come at last-an art collector" The
lawyer enjoyed an inward laugh as he
watched the queer little figure at that
moment engaged in placing a plate Of hot
biscuits on the table, the inexpensive
eyes and pursed-up lips as sphinxlike as
ever.
At tea he set himself to the task OF
stimulating his hostess imagination to
the point OF grasping some Of the posi-
bilities unfolding before the possessor OF
such great wealth. And his exertions
brought their reward. for he was priv
ileged finally to look into the heart of
Emma Eliza.

The Bass Drummer.


At the Players club they were talking
about the late Mrs. Neil Burgess.
What ! liked about her." said a
comedian. was her modesty. her plain,
unassuming way.
Though she was an artist to her finger
tips. she detested hifalutin, spread-eagle
talk aoout art. She believed that the best
actors went about their work in a simple.
practical manner. as a plumber goes about
his, and she believed that discussion of the
theory of art and all that sort Of thing was
futile.
Il once heard a dramatic critic ask her
whether she believed in realization or
idealization. and whether she acted SUBJ
jectively or effectively.
She answered with a laugh that, being
such a plain person. she was. like the bass
drummer. unequal to such questions.
'1She said that a musician once compli-
mented a bass drummer on his drumming.

you play by ear or by notes?

Nan Who Jumped the Quartzite
"Induced" to vacate.

The Quartzite mine at Diamondfield
was Jumped on the 14th inst. by one
S. L. X. Case. Although the mine has
been producing ore for the past six
months this individual claimed it was
abandoned ground and proceeded to do
work on his location. He
remained on the ground until the Goth
inst. when Charles Krise, an associate
of "Diamondfield Jack" Davis, appeared
on the ground and requested him to va
cate, which request he was not slow in
regarding. Mr.. Davis had left some
days before for California but his repre-
sentative, Mr.. Sears, telegraphed the
facts to him and received a reply from
Jack saying he would return immedi-
ately if needed. Mr.. Sears has since
notified Mr.. Davis that the ''jumper"
had abandoned the location and that
there was no necessity of returning.
