COL. SHAKESPEARE.

For one minute the women looked

teeth in helpless rage.

AS they approached the island, they
saw the poor animal in the water, kept
afioat by two soldiers In a small boat
stationed to support her head. And
then, little nearer, and the stalwart
form of Captain Henderson was dis
cernible on the wharf.
Glad you've come Gay. Get the
poor brute out as soon as you can, will

he came on deck. Gay was incapable
of a reply permissible in addressing

Gays heart could have been softened,
the captains detected attitude would

of the defeated foe seemed to inspire
him with fiendish cruelty, and wait

Henderson, thinking he had not heard

But Gay only smiled sweetly. Then

for dinner.
Unfortunately. the dinner was not
the success he had expected, for, de-
lightful host that he was, and presiding
over a delicious and charmingly served
meal, he was unable to arouse Miss
Mapleson, who sat sadly distract, and
the conversation was chiefly carried
on by Gay and the chaperon-a not
very enlivening process, when one
does not care for the chaperon.
Gay struggled manfully, however,
and was just bending forward to pay
Miss Mapleson a most impressive COM
pliment, when an orderly entered the
cabin with a dispatch. AS Gay read
il, his face underwent the most alarm
ing changes-his eyes fairly popped
from his head-his face, at first ashen,
suddenly turned deep purple, and
finally, choking with indispensable
emotions. he hurriedly excused himself
and rushed on deck.
In his excitement Gay had thrown
the dispatch, face upward, on the table,
and Miss Mapleson read the following
official message:

The following from the Great Fails

interest to Nhnoters who are interest
ed in Nevada gold mining claims:
Pittsburg, Pa, July 12.-The an
nouncement from Bullfrog, New, that
a remarkably rich strike of gold had
been made in the Tramps- Consolidat'
ed mine, is of vast Importance to the
stockholders and depositors of the de-
funct Allegheny National Bank.
VIM. Montgomery, the dehulting
cashier, who looted the bank of al
most s2,000000 has immense holdings
in the Tramps-Consolidate When
the directors of the bank seized this
stock, it was pushed aside as appar.
emily worthless, for it had declined
from 50 a share to II cents Now the
stock is sure to be of immense value
and as Montgomery had thousands OF
shares, it is expected to pay all of the
banks Indebtedness, and probably
make Montgomery wealthy in addi
ton.
