The tuau and woumu that piced slowly eide hy t-ide up and down the lon, dim hotel corridors might Luve seetiit-d t- the thoughtlexs olierver a typical pair (if lovers. In reality t-he was seeking to H-rvert, and he to main tain, the admiiii.-tnuiim uf the law. She was acting the part that her sex is supposed to have acted toward hi from the days of Eve. With an absolute single-minded uesx and loyalty of purpose that went further to excul pate her than the plea of ignorance could have done, she was knowingly and deliberately seeking to turn from the way of justice the steps of her companion. Artfully, in.-dnuatingiy, s-he held before his eyes the rocy apple of promise, a prize so alluring that the man beside her felt his head swim and his sene grow dazzled at the m-.-re ris ing thought. .She had bvgun with excessive subtle ty, made wise by her great n-d. Oaly the man Inside her wits cap IV of granting her this Ikmq. To her wom an's prtjudiced vision it was beyond reason that he should remain uu mov ed. If there was any power to aid her in her glance, her smiles, her tears, if need should be she was ready to make ruthless use of them. "Do you thiuk, Judge Tresham,'" fehe said, "that the la- is always right? l.ni't you believe I am Kure I do that sometimes in enforcing the exact letter of the la v oue may commit a great injustice?' Sue paused, await ing her unsuspecting adversary's next move; she was too cautious to overstep her mark. "If you meau iu the matter of c:r rumstautial evidencv, Miss Uouiface," said Roger Tresham, "I quite agree with you." lie reddened a lit' le, for any reference to the law was a pain he would willing'- have spared her. "X no," said the girl, blowly, "I I wasn't thinking of that, I was think ing that the law diesu't seem to have any heart. It diesn't seem to take oogn wince of mistortuue, of oh. Judge Tresham " She broke of ith a catch iu her breath dangerously near to a sob. Tresham was thrilled and warmed by the intimacy of her appeal at the same time that he was struck with hor ror at his own impossible predicament. "Judge Tresham" she had regained her composure "will you let me spt?ak of my pwr fathers trouble? You know all abaut it, aud it will be such a oomfurU Judge Tresham, is the law really without pity?" ' God forgive me !" cried the man be side her; "I I canuot listen; I canuot help or comfort you. Miss Itmiface, ir things had baen ot!i-ris-j I you and I, perhaps; but now, as it is" " He stopped helplessly and made a de spairing gesture. Rut Joycj Boniface met his troubled eyes with her owu blue unabashed ones. . "Even as things an1, Roger," she murmured, "it may not be altogether hopeless. There must lie mercy some where, even in the law, aud surely in the lawyers. Toiuk, Roger, ho- muoh I should owe you if" . Tresham had gone white to the lips; his breath came in gasps. Ten minutes a he would iudiguantly have repudi ated the idea that she could stoop to iull jencii him by so much a-j a feattier's weight upon oue side or t he other, far less to bribe him with the glittering promise of what he most desired. Ac customed to viewing tilings with the nyesof a la-yer and a jurist, he had 0 nitted to take into account the nat ural predudices, emotious aud failings of poor, weak human nature. He shrank before the thing he knew she was about to utter. "I not say it, Joyce," he cried; "do not say it ?" She had filtered a little at his look of horror. "Have I said anything so terrible, then?' she asked, almost proudly. "Is it a crime to help one' father?" His'i," sa"dTr;sYiTi; "ye. Yoj are a child; yoi cmn t kuaw what you are doing Your father " She drp.Til his am "My father knows- nothing of this," she said, haughtily. doubt he would be angry if he knew that I had conde scended to big for him. No doubt he wiil be honorably acquitted without your help." Then she sank iulo a chair, laid her head agaiust her arm aud quietly wept, Treshan laid a gentle hand upon her shoulder. "You must not think I don't pity you," he said, sottly, "but, indeed I too am to le pitied. I am in a terri ble position. Wheu we came here some few weeks ago, you with your unhappy father, aud I his luckless judge, all three of us suatt hing at the legal de lays to rest in mind aud body; when I met you, and saw ho lovely you were, and kuew, as .od help me ! 1 knew noon enough that your smile or frown was the only bar at which I trembled, why, I should have been lirave for vou aud for uie, I should have put b;the temptation for us both, I should have fled before you." H paused, but the girl give no sign; an I he went on, brokenly: "I)you think it is only you that sulTer? Di you think it is nothing to me to see y.-u like thl, and to feel that if honor v.iv not a reality I could save you &i readily as I can lift my hand? Yet, living as we doiu a world and in a time in which honor rules, I am as ulterly powerless to help as if my hands were ft-ttered." Again h paused, and this time the girl slowly lifted her eyes to his face; then she usked, gently: "Are yu powerless, Rog?r?" The sw ift blood surg'sl through the young judge's foce; a light dashed iu Ins eyes. He made a tpih-k, involunta ry gesture. Joyce IJouifaco saw and understtiod. "I know what you would say,"' she cried, lifting her head proudly. "Like father, like daughter, you think. "Well you are right. I would save l.iiu if I had to Hi) or cheat or steal." Her voice shook helplessly. "Oh if you could t-ee him as I do so broken, so changed from his forinir self! A iwr, sick old man, hounded by the law and Heaven help me ! by the mau I love." .She was still striving for her father with all the strength she had, and yet now she w ts not acting. Tresham uttered a low cry, and los ing all bis habitual self-restraint, caught her to him "Roger," she whispered, and it was the voice of eternal woman temptiug eternal iu-n "Roger, you will save him. It Is so pitiful. What can a wretched pair of girls, persons we have never seen, matter to us? I know you will be good to him." In tiie shock of returning conscious ness and conscience, produced by her straugeAophistical plea, he could not help a smile at the very womanishness of it all. It was a very wan s uile, though, and then he put her from him. "What a feudal princess you would have made!" be said, with grim hu mor. "You wouldn't have recommend ed cake in default of bread; you'd have asked what p:nr folk, inrsons you didu't know, had to be in the world for.' lie knew it to 1 very far from a laughing matter, and yet the air of ag grieved surprise with which she regard ed him gave him some ado to keep his countenance. As ti.e same time he knew her to lea sweet, true woman. He knew that she would be at much pains to relieve any di-ttress that came withiu the rtngeof her vision. Bit the case of her father's unfortunate victims that was barred out from her contact, hidden by a cloud as deue as prejudice c mid make it, utterly swept away by the current of her daughterly love. It was without meaning to her, something distant, vag'.i, with which she had not to do. Hi-r mind w sin eessantly busied with the picture f her w retched father, victimized, mir tyriil, as he seemed to her. Tiitreis inherent iu women handed down to them, perhaps, as a legacy from a time when they di 1 not thiuk or act for themselves a strong triiial bias. From m-n it has tveii to a certain extent eliminated bv advancing civiliz ttiui; iu women it exists to day, a living w it-n-sof the narrow col lines that ouce held them. Joyce R miface sjKike now w ilh the fervor of despair. She had risked her highest stakes, and she could not afford tolose. Sue silenced Tresham with a gesture, and broke out passionately. "You pretend to be above tempta tion, to be superior to egotism; and yi u look down ou pjople that have bluo dcred as if they were a lower order of creatures. Oh, you need'nt deny it; it's quite trfle. Aud a'.l the time ycu are hard aud cruel and unjust yes, unjust, too. Supp'we I were the crim inal; just suppose it were I whom y u had to condemn would you be so high and contained and self-righteous? Of c ure not. You are like all the rest. You can see a man sutfor, no matter how old and sick and miserable he is; it is nolhiug to you. Bat a woman, you say, is diiF-reut, most of all a U ly. Answer me, H ger Tresham; if I were a criminal would you not fiud s-uue way of acq iitting me, som-? way of settling it with your coii-cienc- ?'' "O I h-j'.p uu!" uiu-tcd ber lover; "would honor carry me through such an ordeal as that He did not speak aloud, but the wom an read in his eyes the first sigu of wa vering. She pressed her point, not iu words, for she had ustd her final argu ment, but by ri.-ing and standing before him, her hands lifted to his shoulders, her faca sq i.arely confronting his. He spoke after a moment, slowly and cilmlv: "Gxl alone knows if I should pas triumphantly through such a trial as that, my darling. Eveu lis it i-, so strong is your hold upon me that, were there uobdy else coi;et-ri:ed, I b-lit-ve I should ba induceil to show more mer cy thm justice allows." He had forgotten her now; he was answering the arraignment of his con science. "It has never been with me as with mauy of the young men that I studied among, l'rom the first I felt drawn to my calliug by a pow-r too strong for words. Later I received from my fellows a holy office, the duties of which I shall fulfill as well as iu me lies. Even for the sake of the woman I love I could not be led into an act of foul injustice, into a decision that would deprive two helpless girls of their right ful inheritance." She had dropped her bands to her sids, and stood 1 lokiug at hiui strange ly. He did not heed her. Tnere ars some old words ringing in my ears, the words of that old song of Lovelace's. You kuow w hat I mean: I could not love thee, dear, ho liiueh. Loved I not honor more.' " He stammered a little with the reluc tance of a modern to haudle sentiment. "I bad hoped that, for the sake of the strong love I bore you, we might, jer haps in some future day" "Never!" she interrupted, nereely. "Whatever may be your decision, I would have you to remember that if I could have yielded to you iu this, my love would not have been worth the having." He took a sudden step for ward. "Joyoe, w ill you help me iu my choice of the only right way, even if this is to b the cud b.tweeu us? But she shrank back and bid herfa-e from bim. In spite of her he drew her to him aud kissed her lightly on the forehead. Then he turned stealthily atfay. J.nre Bmifaee raised her head and lo lted af:er hiui, madi as if she wju d have called him back, then turned in stead ami sank into a chair. Half an hour later, R ger Tresham, walking dtj. ctediy to and fro on the d.st.ned terrace, felt two slim hands thrust around his net k from behind, atid heard a woman's voice say bro kenly: "Don't loik at me, Roger; lit me stay like this. Rjt I had to tell you that you're right, nnd I know it. Oh, I feel like a traitor; but it won't move you nothing will move you; and I wanted to say I'm proud of you, liogtr.

A never-ending iliM-.K-.iou aunng hunters and wo i-ls-n -u'iu th mouu tiins concern the character tha black bear exhibits within the tavernous confines of the bear hou-ehold. Some authorities say that the bear is a mean, selfish fellow, and has uo care for its mite or thought of its offspring, and that the moment it b:'cm.-s a father that moment it ip.ii's the fvuiiy domi cile, leaving all tip-re to shift for them-s-Ives. A lare number, and, it r:ii', more accurate authorities, contend that the bear is libeled by tiiese d jtra.-tor-, and that Bruin is realh very helpful to Mine. Bruin in the first Avecks of her motherhood. Hj.uters who have watched from Ciiic-ealtd spts a;ii through ti.-lJ-g'a-s'.ts the doings iu a d.-n of bears, siy they have observed mauy aets of c ;isi l.-ratiou and kindness iu the home circle rendered hy Father Bi-uiu. He is not only a good provider in a time of need, but is also a jolly, com1 p iiiional le fellow with the cubs. He will play for hours with them, rolling ab ut on the mountain side or among th chaparal. He seems to iuiite lib erties from the little fellows, for they romp over his body, climb ou his broad back, sera mble between his leg ani often scratc h and bite him, so that it must take about all the old man's good nature to endure their pranks. Many she bears in their anxiety to save their cubs have b- en stentopkk them up in their forepaws and trudge clumsily along. The sfg:i-ity of Mack bears is very often shown in their mai tier of seeking food. A ranchman in the fxithills o the Sin B rnardino Mountains, a few years ago, foiiod that a little pig lis.tj peartil iihout cviry; week from his pigpens. The prints of bear's paws told what was carrying away the little porkers, but the jx-n was surrounded by a paling so strong and high that the ranchman could not imagine how any beast ever got in there. An a'l-night watch showed him that a b'.ack bear came that way, climbed a liveoak tree that grew near, otd walk iug out ou a branch that ;rew over the pigpen, dropped to ground, snatched a terrified pig, and making for the gate, which could be opened from the inside only, made oirto the family dm, miles away up in the canyon.

Poor Youn Vanderbilt The "Revue d. s Revues" provides hi the .current h ue an article on Xew York stx-iety which In our iguoraneeof the subject we assume to be entirely exact. And yet, how many things have occurred aud are occurring lure of w l.ieh we never dreamed. Alfred ; Vanderbilt is, it appears, "nothing less than the eldest son of the king of Am erican railways." It appears, too, that lie married "one of the most adorable beauties of the world of the Four Hun dred." It appears, further, that his father resolutely oppos:d the match, and that his father-in-law, "not to le behindhand iu pride, completely aban doned the youiig couple." Here the plot thickens, siiys "Collier's Weekly." According t,o the "Revue," il fallait manger it was neoi-ss-jry to eat. Let us continue to translate. ''A! 'nil Yan derbilf, junior, put in head to show that the sou of a millionaire can be a man. He enteivd at the conp-iny of the railways of the New York Central. Hiring two years, oue s.;w him, drts.s ed in the blue blouse of the mechanics, n pairing locomotives. Every Satur day the employes and workmen watch til him curiou-ly coming to touch If s puy at the de-k and returning to the very modest lodging which he occupi ed next to the rotunda of the muchints. Never did he let escape a plaint. Never did be make the least tentative to elder iu grace near his father, out of fear that one did not attribute to his submissicn a motive inttrtsted.

In a general way, summer pruning promotes fruitfulness, while, if wood growth is desired, prune iu w inter. The exp'anation of this is that greut growth an! great fruitful ness do not go t gether. A plant mui, reach a certain degree of maturity Wfore it will pro duce fruit and an abundance of plant food at the time the buds are forming is desirable for the l-est- results. Now if, by summer pruning, part of the branch is removed, the growth is check ed, and a the part removed !eseus the demand for plant food, it can Ik? devot ed t the production t.f fruit buds. If the tree is allowed to go into winter quarters undisturlied at the end of the season, the roots and tops are in a sort of equilibrium, or balance each other. Now if tluring the dormant period a considerable part of the top is cutoff, a strong pressure .if sap j-t brought to bear on the remaining bil ls and a great' r-r supply of nourishment is furnishedthe fr-u tier who wul swear tnat they for the growth of each.

The LI'Laugilia Tenors. 1 One of the l-ading papers of New York printed a story a few days ago, were uuvetled for 1-71 for the t ilitica tiii of the numerous 'teudcrfeel' who were thronging into the Colorado silver district. "In thosi days stories of frontier ad venture were in great demand, and the m ted desperadoes of the region were used as central figures in huudreds of purely imaginative yarns spun by en thusiastic reporters. The only trouble aliout it was that the desperadoes them selves would occasionally kick, so it oe cured to a well known scribbler named Bd!y Taylor to manufacture aompleof red bad men about whom he could romance w ith si-.fety. Accordingly he created the McLaughlin brothers, and, just as he expected, tbey were taken up by the p8-rs for aud wide, and their exploits soon U-came tte talk of the went. Taylor presently acquired a w ide reputation for nerve by the fear less manner iu w hich he 'roasted' these dangerous men, particularly the young er brother, -Silas McLaughlin, who butchered nine cowboys at Santa l'e because oue of them stepjved on his foot. 'Bed-handed miscreant,' 'dastardly as siissin' and 'rr-pe-riperufiTin' were some of the iet iiaii.t s he applied to him, in spite of the warnings of admiring friends.
