Bellefonte, Pa., September 5, 1902.
COLUMBINE.
The western sky flung a pennant of daf-
fodil light from zenith to horizon’s gray.
The lake was a tumult of gold and rose;
strewn like orchard petals, the whitecaps
flickered across its heaving,luminous floor.
Mere Drouet, mending nets on the lake-
ward platform of her cabin, put up a beck-
oning hand as I passcd by.
‘She too dark for work some more,’’ she
coaxed. ‘Ain’ you tell me you’se’f you
can’t do nossing right when the sun gone
down ? My ol’ man, he take one gran’ load
cottagers to sail over to des Bois Blanc,an’
I is das ’lone |’
“But I ought to work to-night.’’
“Js'n you got days ’nough ahead for
work ’thout you stuffs you’ nights full,
too ?’’
‘“Will you bring out a stoyy if I come?’
¢“You is already hear all story’ on thees
islan’,”’ protested Mere Drouet, pulling me
down on a bench. ‘‘You is know all per-
son’ of thees tale like you's blood brother’.
Pere Antoine, the W’ite Trapper, de Win-
digo’'—
“I can’t stay unless you remember a
new one,’’ persisted the spirit of Jacob
Mere Drouet looked past me without an-
swering. No flicker of expression lit her
brown, ancient face, carved in inscrutable
lines; the stern calm of her Chippewa blood
held every muscle 1n leash. Yet a red dim
burned and. grew in the leathern cheek; her
eyes, deep-glowing under tangled brows,
caught a subtle light from the fading day.
+I is too ol’ for remember someting,’ ‘she
said presently. ‘‘These year’ they come
slip up,slip up, when you ain’ lookin’,jus’
like the lake, an’ they creep back, so sof’
you nev’ know they’s gone, till you is see
what they take away. When I try 'mem-
ber, I fin’ I don’t know nossing, for sure;
not even "bout Columbine.”
““Columbine?”’
‘‘Ain’ you nev’ hear of her?’ Mere
Drouet bent a narrowing gaze on me. Her
hands clenched over the heap of cords in
her lap. The dark flush deepened at my
No.”
‘It is not so much to tell,” she respond-
ed. “Me, I think ’bout it sometimes,
‘cause it is all so strange, I ain’ understan’
it yet. Columbine, she is have Chippewa
father an French mother, an’ of her gran’-
mere, which is Irish,she have the eyes blue
an’ the bair curl, tight, all over her head.
Her people is all die’ when she is 1i’] beby,
an Pere Ronne, what is here before Father
Antoine, he is take her to bring up like his
own. Madame, you is attempt’ to control
the French an the Indian, tout seul,is they
bad ’'nough; an’ by time you is mix in a
1i’l Irish—ah, bien ! the Blessed Saints
theyse’fs ain’ goin’ know handle any such
embarras. An Pere Ronne, for all he try
the bes’ he kin do, he is yet nossing but a
man.
‘‘He is christen her Rose-Marie-Therese,
for that she born on St. Theresa’ Day. But
she so slim an’ straight an’ she climb the
rocks all the time, so before she has five
year, they begin call her ever’ where,Colum-
bine. You know these flower, Madame?
He stan’ on de highes’ rocks,an’ he bob, he
curl’ head at you, Nossir? He ain’ goin’
come down for nobody ? An’ if you will
possess him you mus’ climb hillsan’ wade
brooks an’ bruise you’ hands,an’ crawl up,
up, till you's high as he ’fore you kin
touch ’im. An’ that’s Columbine.”’
‘‘Pere Ronne, he is try ev’ way for break
her, year after year. Some day he laugh,
some day he pray. Always he tell her,
‘Columbine, it is the spirit of Satan what
make you so proud. If that you will not
drive it out, then not I, not all the Holy
Church,can save you that Las’ Day. Hum-
ble you’se’f, an’ walk as one of you’ own
people.”
‘‘Columbine, she ain’ say nossing; she
jus’ laagh and run away. She hol’ her
head higher than Madame up to the Fors,
she walk like the earth so pore she don’t
want touch it wis her foots. Ev’body in
Mackinac is kind to her; but when they try
talk to her ’bout that wicked pride, she
ain’ nev’ stop to listen. Yo’'ng? An’ yo'ng
folks mus’ he permit’ to he happy ? Ah,
Madame, that is what people always say.
Me, I don’t know. When we is yo'ng we
is toujour’ tear down, tear down; on’y
when we is ol’ we begin learn to build up.
Sarely it is better to build up than to de-
stroy.
*‘When Columbine is seventeen, she is
sent up to the Fors, to be maid to Madame
la Commandante. Madame,she isn’t have
‘no daughter, an’ she is always fancy Col-
umbine, soshe dress her and pet her like
she her own 1i’l girl. She is have Madame’s
blue silk, what is too small for her, wis
rosebuds all sew’ over it,an’ her velvet hat
and she is wear lace on her aprons ev'y
‘day. All the generals is ver’ nize to her,
too. Bien, Columbine her head go up so
high she can’t see none of her ole friend no
‘more, and she begin t’ink she possess that
whole Fort. Pretty ? Ah Madame; how can
‘I tell? Ion’y know what people tell me;
an’ that is mos’ fifty year gone. She slim
an’ straight as a yo'ng tree, they say, an’
her hair all rusty red, an curl tight,an’ her
eyes blue like the lake where it touch the
8ky. Certainement, they is one person
think she pretty, an’ that is Lucien, what
keep the mail-boat. He is love her since
they is li'l babies, an’ use’ play in the
.Father’s garden together, an’ he lay his
course straight to reach her for his wife.
But what is he goin’ do when he beam
wind fail him?
“All these time, they is a yo'ng general
name’ Captain Mount, what is stay up at
the Fort for help M’sien Commandant. He
look at Columbine once in a while, an’ he
ive her a pin wis 1i’l blue rocks in it, for
er birfday,but he isn’t talk wis her much
One morning she is send in Madame’s gar-
den, for cut flowers,an’ prett’ soon the Cap-
fain gallop down the lawn on he horse.
“Threw me a rose, Columhine,’’ he say.
‘Pick you’s own roses,, she tell ‘im jus’
for mischief. He jump off an’ come catch
her hands.
‘I is demand the sweetes’ one of all,’ he
say, an’ he stoop like he goin’ kiss her.
Columbine, she know she can’t pull her
ban’ away; she is set her teefs an’ look
straight past him, an’ she so angry, she
can’t speak nor move. An’as they stan’
~bhere, while he is laugh’ an’ coax, an’ she
still as ice,somebody leap the wall an’ come
to them. An’ it’s Lucien; all in he work
clothes he is, white as the stone behind
him.
‘“What is this, Columbine ?’ he say.
‘Columbine look back at him like she is
Mronder whoit can he what dare speak to
er.
‘If you want me to go, I'll go,” Lucien,
tell her. Itis on’y June, Madame,an’ the
air cold as lake water, but the sweat come
stan’ on his face like rain. ‘It is as you
bid me, Colambine. But if I go, it is to
stay.’
‘‘Her lips is burn’, Madame, to tell him
‘Wait, but she don’ say it. It is her pride
what hold her; she can’t make herse’f con-
fess that it is all a joke.
*‘I is use’ hope, that I may some day,ask
you for my wife,” Lucien say. An’ that is
where he make his mistake, Madame. Does
he think she is goin’ say, ‘Bien, take me,
Lucien ?’
“Nobody is answer. Captain Mount is
let go her hand, an’ they stan’ there like
the rock pzople in Madame’s parlor. Then
Lucien is pick up he cloak an’ swing he’-
se’f over the wall ’gin.
“‘Good-by,Columbine,’ he say, ver’ low.
An’ he’s gone.
‘ ‘Now will you leave me, Monsieur ?’
she say. ‘Surely you have done enough !’
‘‘Captain Mount, he kiss her band, and
he beg her forgive him. He say—oh, Mad
ame, you know for you’se’f jus’ what he is
say. Thees mens is all talk alike. He
swears he’s shame’ that he is grieve Lucien
an’ he tell her they mus’ plan for make
their peace wis him. It won’ nev’ do to talk
togezzer there; they mus’ climb the hill, to
the Wishing Spring. Columbine, she say
no, she don’ want see nor hear of him nev’
no more; but he coax an’ beg, an’ say he’s
goin’ be there tomorrow, whether she go or
she is fin’ herse’f up the hill she can’t say
how.
“What is they talk about? Bien,Madam
the Captain he is do all the talkin’, an’
Columbine she isn’t have nossing to say,
on’y she declares she ain’ comin’ no more.
The Captain say, ‘Good-by till to-morrow,
Columbine?’ an’ she tell 'im ‘Good-by,
pour toujour I” but jus’ the same nex’ day
they is come ’cross each ozer at the Wish-
ing Spring. The Captain is ver’ serious;
he say he have somesing to tell her, what
he can’t speak now; he don’ talk so much,
be jus’ look at her all the time, an’ when
she start to go back,an’ he ask her to come
’gain nex’ day—ah, Madame, he ain’ need
to make her promise !
“Six day they meet an’ talk at Wishing
Spring; an’ the seventh day he kneel down
an’ take her hands an’ say he love her best
of any in the world; will she try love him,
too? Columbine, she set her teef an’ she
ain’ speak; but if he start away through
flood an’ fire, her soul is leave her body to
follow after.
‘‘Nex’ morning, she is work in the li-
brary, when they bring in a letter for Cap-
tain Mount. He read it, an’ he gnaw he
lip till the blood come; then he go ‘into
M'’sieun’s office an’ shut the door. Prett’
by he’se’f. He say nossing to Columbine;
he nev’ give her one look as he start away.
‘‘Columbine, she go on wis her work.
She isn’t know whethers he is dead or liv-
ing; on’y she knows she don’ dare stop.
"Long ’hout sundown, she climb down to
the landing. The lake pink as the sky,an’
smoove as you’ hand; but when she put
her ear to the pebble’, she hear it go whiss
whiss ! ver’ soft—ah, Dien, Madame, she
know what that mean !
‘‘Madame la Commandante is come down
to the beach, jus’ as she is haul out her boat
*‘Don’ go far, Columbine,’ she say. ‘He
too late. I wish Captain Mount is come
back. He is row over to Mackinaw to meet
he wife an’ 1i’l heby. They iscome all the
way from Washin’ton for s’prise him. Lu
cien is to bring them all over in the mail-
boast.
‘‘Columbine, she isn’t speak; mos’ like,
she is’n’ hear. She put out from shore an’
she row for her life. Which one of those
two men is she goin’ save? Ah, Madame,
how is I know?
‘“The storm crawl up, soft as a snake.
Firs,’ the water begin purr, an’ the sky
turn gray; then the wind it fresh,’ an’ the
whitecaps dance up thick, an’ the boat be-
gin moan an’ tremble like you beat her.
Prett soon they is green streaks crossin’ the
clouds, an’ the wind call lond an’ shrill.
Jus’ one minute more to breathe; then the
night an’ the storm swoop down together.
‘Frightened ? She has fear for someone
else, maybe; not for herse’f. All she can
do is hol’ her cance afloat, an’ shout, loud
her voice can go. It is one hour,maybe two
that she drift an’ call. All at once she
hear her own name, ‘Columbine? Colum-
bine, save us !’
‘She hol’ her boat straight’s she know
how, an’ in one minute she slip up ’long-
side of Lucien’s boat, an’ there is the two
men an’ the lady an’ the li'l beby aboard.
The rudder is broke,’ an’ the boat is ship
water at ev'y wave. They is jus’ room for
one more in her own canoe. Columbine put
out her han’ to the Captain’s wife.
“I'll take ber an’ the beby,’ she says.
‘That all I kin do.” Madame Mount is
catch up her beby an’ creep into the canoe.
Then she turn an’ look back at her hushan
‘Oh, I can’t leave him !’ she ory. ‘Take
my beby,an’ let me go back to him ! We’ll
die togedder!
‘‘Jus’ as she call out, there come one
great wave, an’ the mail-boat split straighs
over, like a bowl. Both men is come up,
clingin’ to the sides; an’ they isn’t neither
one of them screech nor cry for help. In
that breath she mus’ decide: will she save
her own life? Or will she save the man
that is love her—or the one that she is love?
“‘Maybe she think ’bout the wife may-
be she think, ‘All finish’ for me; why shall
1 stay on to live? What she is do is pull
Captain Mount aboard, jus’ as she swing
herse’f out into the water. The wave sweep
her back, an’ Lucien catch her arm; they
is toss away into the black water. il
*‘Lucien, he is keep hol’ of the rudder
wis one hand an’ steady her wis the other.
They drift all night; they ain’ try speak,
for they mus’ save all they strength. Hours
an’ hours they cling to each ozer in the
black water; at las’ the wind go down and
the lake begin turn gray under the dawn.
But they is swept miles ous in the lake by
this time; an’ the water cold as death.
‘‘Afser a while Lucien speak. ‘We can’t
live long in this, Columbine,’ he say. If I
could I is save you for him; but that he is
not worthy. We is go together, li’l girl;
they ain’ no chance more.’
‘‘Columbine,she look up an’ she see he’s
white as the lake foam. He is firs’ work’
80 hard to keep the boat afloat,and then he
is hol’ her up all these time, an’ he is give
out nompletement. Bien, she don’t care,
maybe, for shese’f; hut she slip her han’uan
der his arm an’ she grip the rndder,so now
she is hold him afloat as he do her. First,
he say no, he will rather sink than to pull
her down, but she don’ listen, an’ he too
far goue to say anymore.
“Of what is she t’ink, Madame, as she
keep him up beside her? Is she hunger
for the man what is deceive her? Is she
pray to live,or is she pray to die? Myse'f
I b'leeve that all her prayer is to save Lu-
cien; while she may not give him lo ve she
will yes toil to give him life.
“The sun roll up, red as flame; she isn’
see. The wind call an’ whistle an’ moan.
she isn’ hear. The waves lift them higher
higher, till at las’ they is toss ashore way
up the mainland; she isn’t know. It is
days an’ weeks ’fore she is open her eyes
‘gain to fin’ she mus’ yet live. They is all
wis her, Lucien an’ Pere Ronne, ‘an’ Mad-
ame; they talk wis her an’ pet her an’ tell
ber all bout that accident,an how she mus
get well an’ make them all happy ’gain;
she is look back at them like they’s pic-
tures on the wall. On’y Lucien does she
not; an’ somehow, when the time come, |.
soon he come out an’ go ’way in a skiff, all |

seem to know; when he come near her it is
ae though she try wake herse’f from dream
‘‘What was the trouble ? Madame, you
see that big roller heap up ’way out past
the buoy? There is no wind for make it;
it is jus’one queer trick of the lake. Bien ;
watch him now.”
The great wave reeled landward,dipping
and rising; its black bulk lifted a luminous
crest of foam. It toppled,hissing across the
trodden sand; the receding water left the
beach swept clean as a plane of steel.
“So it was with her mind Madame; her
grief and then the long sickness is brush
away all recollection; she is not ’member
Madame, who is favor her since she’s li’l
girl; she is not ‘member Pere Ronne, who
been father an’ mother; she is not ‘member
Lucien, who is live his life for her. She
den’t look up when they’s call Columbine
she ain’ even know shese’f.
‘‘After long months they begin teach her
all thing’ like she is 1i’l beby. She learn
tres vite, once more her strength is return
an’ by nex’ St. Teresa’ day she is seen jus’
the same Columbine. On’y behin’ her lies
another life, all seal’ like a book; a book
that ain’ to be open’ in this worl’.
‘‘When she is hecome ver’ well again,an’
her cheeks pink an’ her eyes sparkle once
more, Lucien is take her away wis him one
day up to Wishing Spring. Then he tell
her jus’ as gentle as he know how.all ’hout
her life on the islan’ since she jus’ enfant,
an’ use’ play wis him down on de sand.
When he come to where he mus’ tell her
bout Captain Mount he choke, an’ it is as
though that name burn he lips; but Col-
umbine, she ain’ laugh nor frown; it is all
jus’ story to her. Even she is not interest’.
when he say that the Captain an’ all is sav-
ed, an’ is gone ’way ’gain for tounjour. An’
why should she care ? Shedon’ know these
eople.
¢‘He tell her all, ev’ word. She look up
at him ver’ curious.
“So I is save you’ life; is it so Lucien ?,
she say.
“You is save my life at cost of all those
year’ of you’s own, Columbine, he tell her.
‘I can’t nev’ make it up to you; it is not
best that I try, when you’ love is give’ al-
ready to that other. I know for me there
is no hope. I go to-morrow to the main-
land,an’ then to work in the south; I ain’
nev’ comin’ back to the izslan’; for if part
of you’ life is seal’ away, this best of mine
is bury’ here.
“‘Columbine, she look off ‘cross the gray
water. Her thoughts is come slow, but her
word’ is make them plain.
“Then I ain’ possess any right ’tall to
that life which I is save ?’ she ask ’im ver
low.”
The lake gloomed back in the twilight.
Only a handful of stars pricked the dim
hosom of the mist with rapiers of pearl.
But soon the flames of a strange new dawn
rose red in the east; the lake flashed broad
on the sight once more, a royal highway,
paved in mosaic of fire.
Across this luminous path there drifted
a phantom sail, white even against the
whiteness of the moon. Mere Drouet stood
up; her strong old body wavered, her eyes
shone.
“It's Pere Drouet,”’ I said. ‘“Why,he’s
all alone in the boat !’
‘‘Columbine I” The name rang piercing
sweet across the water. ‘‘I is leave those
folks one minute for come see if you’s all
right. C’est bien, Colambine !”’
Mere Drouet leaned far out over the rail.
The beauty of fifty years away shone again
in her happy eyes; the pride of her race
spoke in her lifted head, her swift gesture;
the purer pride of the woman beloved and
content rang in her tender call :
‘C'est bien, Lucien ?’”’.—By Katharine
Holland Brown in The Outlook.
Mine Worth $240,000,000.
Fabulous Values in the United Verde Copper Workings
An excellent illustration of the profits of
the mining industry was afforded by the
examination of Senator W. A. Clark in the
suit of George A. Treadwell against the
United Verde Copper company. He testi-
fied that the dividend from the United
Verde was 120 per cent. per year on a capi-
tal of $3,000,000. The mine has paid up
to the present time $10,785,322 in divi-
dends, the total production being about
double that figure. This has been produs-
ed from a depth of only 700 feet, and drill
cores helow that level to the depth of 700 ft
further show that the copper values con-
tinue to that depth, at least. It is estima-
ted that about one third of the ore has heen
stoped out above the 700 foot level. This
will make the total value of the ore bodies
exposed $60,000,000, including that already
mined. In addition to this the ore shown
by the drill cores amounts to as much more.
The mine has been exploited only over
about one third of its area, and it is there-
fore reasenable to estimate the value of the
property above the 700 foot level at $120,-
000,000, with as mooh more below.
In answer to a question Senator Clark
said that he believed the Chemical Nation-
al Bank, of New York, was the only large
business enterprise that paid as much as 120
per cent. a year outside of the mining in-
dustry. This fully answers the question
frequently - asked as to the way Senator
Clark made his money. A profit of 120 per
cent. per annum is not at all infrequent in
mining enterprises, though the United
Verde is probably the only large mine in
the country that pays so magnificent a div-
idend. Mr. Clark has been nothing, but
-a-miner from the outset of his career, his
banking interest being but one of many
incidents of a busy life, organized for the
purpose of affording aid to the mining end
of his large business. And now the mines
are carrying forward a continental railroad
system. The world’s motor is the precious
metal mines.—Ores and Metals.
$142,000 Repays Her Kindness io Poor
Man.
Jacob Cox, a lumber dealer, of Mt. Ver-
non, Ill., has just been notified that his
wife, by reason of a bequest, becomes the
possessor of a fortune of $142,000,0n deposit
in a nation al bank in Los Angeles, Cal.
Many years ago the family of Mrs. Cox
befriended a man named Charles Hill, who
wae poor, Last April Mr. Hill came to
Mount Vernon, hunted up Mr. and Mrs.
Cox and spent a few days with them,
Before leaving he executed a judgement
note in favor of Mrs. Cox for $142.000 and
then went to California. when he became
sick. He entered a hospital in Los Ange-
les, where he died recently.
Prior to his death he wrote the Coxes a
letter stating what he had done and ex-
plaining matters so they could be easy
identified and receive the money. The
ngel es writes
them that $2,000 was found among Hill's
papers, and that the rest of the money is
in the bank. Hill had no relatives, and it
is not probable that the Coxes will have
any difficulty in securing the money.
