NORTH MOUNTAIN NOTES.

North Mountain, March 16.-Mr.
Charles Rockwell moved his house
hold goods from his grandfathers,
Allen Robbins, farm yesterday to
this village, where he expects to
reside.
Talk about mud, Our county
fathers ought to make an automo-
bile trip to this section and try it.
We think if some of the county
trucks should come our way soon,
they would break down in a mud
puddle as Robert Miller did yester-
day.
\ ealithumpian band celebrated
the arrival home of Mr.. Joseph
Bowers and bride, of Pennsylvania,
last evening. This being Mr.. Bow
ers' second adventure in matrimony
his friends gave him royal sere-
made, and one of the serenaders be-
came so frantic in discoursing mu-
sic on a circular saw that he struck
himself in the mouth with a four
pound hammer and loosened two
teeth. We tender our very best
congratulations to the happy groom
and lady. May they live long, be
prosperous aad happy.

 He went on down the slope, through the bushes toward his skiff; the Pearl hunter turned in at the cabin door.
 Alone at last. he did the very thing that nine men out of ten would have done; took the draft cut of his pocket and fingered if oyer-the concrete and tangible evidence Of a great day won. He had seen it born at midnight; had seen if drive in through the gates of dawn-and now it was forever his. He spelled out the magic words: Five thousand, a wavy line, no hundredths, dollars. He said each bold figure over to himself Slowly face grew alive among the words and figures; face framed in yellow hair; eyes that laughed They had laughed for him. he had made them laugh. The draft would make them laugh again. And tomorrow she should send for that sur geon.
 The sound of grooming came in at the cabin door from the bushes down the hill. The face was gone from the draft. He thrust it back in his pocket and stepped out into the yard. His first thought was that the little Jew none too sure-footed among the rocks, had stumbled and hurt himself.
 The groan came again. He sprang into the bushes. The Jew had hurt himself. A look so wild and terrible the Pearlhunter had never seen upon the face of a man. He had fallen upon his back, with one arm cramped under him. The other arm was free, but he seemed unable to rise. With his free hand he was clawing desperately at his bosom, and the fingers of the hand were mussed with blood.
 The Pearlhunter leaped down the hill and bent over him. It was then he saY what the bloody hand was clawing at-the handle of knife, hilt deep in his breast. The Pearlhunter raised him, and the other hand came free. It cIutched bit of cloth of fam ing red-a red mask.
 The Jew opened his eyes, recognized the man bearing him up.

 His mouth quivered open so wide that his beard rumpled upon his breast. and the blood welled our over his chin. His eyes buIged; the smeared fingers ceased clawing at the knife; he gasped twice; and dropped hack-dead.
 The Pearlhunter picked up the bit of scarlet cloth that had fallen from the dead mans hand.

 But why had the bandit planned to lay the theft of the jewel on himt It was not his way. He took his toll at the pistols point and galloped away. Why had he changed his methods now!
