A Deathbed
Promise
BY F. A. mitchell

not now mind handing in my chips.
But remember this, my little girl, If
there's any such thing as the dead
helping the living I'll help you"
These We're the last words spoken by
Tom Atkinson to his daughter, Ellen.
He passed into Inconsistencies ana
died the same night. Ellen had been
with him In the gold fields for years
and had suffered with him one disap-
pointment after another till TO her they
We're no longer disappointment, but
expected happenings. But till the very
last he had expected to strike 1t rich
and when he was taken down with his
last illness believed that he would get
well enough to dig little lower In
hole he was sinking and would strike
the continuation of a lead that was
paying handsomely but hundred feet
away. When death came he had not
reached the goal and left his child with
but small bag OF dust not worth 500.
However, Ellen possessed something
she valued more than gold-the heart
of an honest, energetic young man,
who was clerlSing in store not Tar
from the property on which her father
had done his last digging and where
be had built the cabin in which he and
his daughter lived. Mark Hosmer
married Ellen few days after her ia
Their had been laid to rest, and they
lived together in the abode the bride
had occupied ever since her father had
been seized with his last infatua-
ton.
Hosmer was willing TO work, but the
district was not producing the gold
that had been expected, and sales In
the store were running down. His sal
airy had been reduced and had reached
n point where they found Il disicult TO

Mark came home from work he told
his wife that he feared his employer

all was silent. In few minutes she
would hear another shovelful tossed,

though some one were digging In
trench. Once or twice she thought she
heard pick strike stone, but OF this
she was not sure She could not To-
cate the sounds, but 1t seemed TO her
that they came from a corner OF the
lot In rear of the cabin.
she was tempted the next morning
to tell her husband that she had heard
the sounds repeated, but refralned,
realizing that he would think some
thing had gone wrong with her. AS
soon as he had departed for the store
she went out to the rear OF what was
a four acre lot, half expecting to find
that some claim jumper had been dig
ging for gold. No sign of earth thrown
up appeared.
There was a thick underground sep
arating her from where she had seem
ed 10 hear the sounds, and passing
through 1t she came to the extreme
corner of the lot The ground was
lust as it had always been. the sur.
face was uneven, and ledge OF red
stone a few feet high furnished con.

idly picked up a loose piece OF the
stone. Examining ii. she noticed that
IL presented rather singular appear
ance. Her father had often shown hef
such pieces OF ore, which, he said
were very rich in god.
Ellen took the fragment TO the cabln
and put it in her bureau drawer; then
taking her fathers pick and shovel,
she went back 10 the spot from which
she had taken the stone and began TO
dig.
Since the place was concealed by
underground. Mark did not notice the
excavation. Ellen. who had had long
experience IN the appearance OF ore

looked worth examination. taking

foreboded his discharge, Ellen threw

She took him 10 the hole she had dug
and, picking up a piece OF ore, told
him that she had had a specimen from
the place assayed and II had shown

Mystery of a Dog.

The Newlyweds out in Crescent hill
are wondering if Rex is thief or de-
tective.
Rex is a dog, white, woolly dog, who
fifteen minutes after having his bath
looks as ii he hadn't had bath for a
week. Rex is not hunter. He doesn't
know what game looks like. He doesn't
even chase cats He is afraid of other
dogs. He is so tractable that he makes
friends with anybody who pays him the
slightest attention. He would be on terms
Of intimacy with burglar in two min
utes.
So II can be seen that Rex's owner
had good reason for thinking him good
for nothing, even if they did love him.
Now they are wondering whether he is
worse than good for nothing or val
liable retriever.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Newlywed lost
a purse containing $40 in cash. A long
search failed TO reveal IL, and II was
given up for lost.
Last Sunday Rex walked into the
