What Rolling Stone Does Get.

After an absence of five or six
years, Ephraim returned to the little
town in Maryland where he had been
born and reared. From his brown
derby hat to his patent leather shoes
he was dressed in the tiptop of fash
ion. His first call was made on his
brother Bill, slow, plodding kind Of
darby, who had never even been to
Baltimore.
Ephraim told with great enthusiasm
his experiences in Philadelphia,
Washington, New York, Chicago, St.
Louis, San Francisco and other
places, in which he had piled his call
ing of barber. He wound up rather
softly with:
Say, Bill, kin you len me two dol
lars?"
Bill looked with just a touch of
scorn at the fine clothes of the wan
derer and drew a small roll Of bills
from his pocket He peeled off, two
ones, handed them to his brother and
said:
IT'S the old story, l see, Eph. A
rolling stone gathers no moss
Ephraim drew himself up, adjust
ed his coat by the lapels, fiecked an
imaginary speck of dust from his
sleeve, and replied:
YES, Bill, but he gifts mighty
sight O. polish

STORY OF A DESERTED CAMP.
Mysterious Stranger Cares fer Graves
Of Early California Miners.

One of the old residents of Calf
fornia is jeremiah Van Horn, who is
now retired merchant and spends his
time in travelling. He Is full Of tales
of the state and last night told one OF
an old mining camp near Marysville,
Near the town of Marysville," said
he, there is an old mining camp, now
deserted. On hillside lie the bodies
of so miners. Their resting places are
fenced in and a few hardy flowers
bloom in the spring, only to dry and
wither in the summer No name Is to
be seen on the rude headboards. But
one man-himself as unknown to the
people of the region as the dead men
below-knows the secret of the graves.
About Eastertide of each year this
man-now aged and somewhat bent,
but with vigor still in his wallt-ap-
pears from out of the mysterious east
He arrives at Marysville, hires CON
veyance, and visits the graves of three
of the old.timers. There is nothing of
the miner about him. He Is prosper
Gus and perhaps wealthy. His cloth

is well trimmed and his gold trimmed
glasses hide a pair of shrewd blue
eyes. His business is to look after the
graves. He straightens up the fence,
waters the thirsty plants and when
everything is shipshape spends a half
hour in looking over the valley and
the hills. Then, jumping into his car
riage, he returns to Marysville, takes
the train to San Francisco, and is lost
for another year in the solitude OF CIV
iliZation.
Who is he? What tie binds him to
the three men whose bodies long ago
crumbled into dust? Was he himself
one of the Argonauts, bound by ties
closer than those of blood to the trio
upon whom the winter rains have fall
en- for half century? Great is the
curiosity of the peo' ie of Marysville.
They watch him narrowly on his an
nual p!lgrimages, and some Of the for
ward ones have been made bold to
question him. He has always turned
them away with courtesy and strict
reserve. They do not even know his
name or station, but they marvel much
over what they believe to be an ex-
ample of brotherly love and affection
that stretches over many decades and
never forgets the past"

eccentric old pork butcher, remark
