Proprietors,
LOVE IN A SAW MILL
About fourteen years ago I wan cm
j)loyci ns liead Bitwycr in tho stenm saw
mill of L. 1). Sinitli ,v Co., near tlio
111I11I111; town of S . Mr. Smith nnd
dirt family wero living In it noat cottngo
closo to tho mill, mill often I nnti tho en
gineer, James Alton, by mime, woro
invited by our employer to attend tho
uvenino; worship held in hW house.
Ono evening, just m'wo wero tnkitiij
icavo of ilia family, wo heard tho sound
of carriage wheels, immediately follow
ed by it knock at tho outer door.
"Minnlo Is coming I" "Mlnnlo is com
ingl" exclaimed Mrs. Smith, rushing
past us into tlio entry. Her husband
followed with 11 light.
A niluute nftcr, the door opened, and
Minnie, lier eldest daughter, was locked
lu her mothcrVi arms.
Minnie was a beautiful girl, about
seventeen years of ago. Three years
she had passed in a young ladies' semi
nary near TJtica, Now York, and now
she had returned to her mountain huino
amidst the pines aud cedars of Califor
nia. Tlio engineer und I lingered awhile
after her arrival, for both desired to bo
introduced to Minnlo Smith.
"Minnie, I make you acquainted with
Louis our head sawyer, and James, our
engineer. I guess you'll beglad to mako
their acquaintance, for both aro good
musicians and excellent singers. I sup
posn your musical education has not
becu neglected V"
"I havo learned a littlo instrumental
music, but I have no voice," replied she
to her father, after bowing to us. James
had held out his hand, but sho did not
toucli it, and I saw that lie blushed
deeply, while Ills eyesglittcred revenge
fully, at what ho supposed her disdain.
Soon after wo loft tho cottago. On our
way to tlio mill I said:
"James, old boy, you looked mad
Why don't you know that in good so
elety they nover shako hands, but only
bow?"
"Well I didn't know it. But, never.
Iheless, she could havo shaken hands
with mo when sho saw that I hold out
my hand," replied lie In a surly lone,
i then began to praUo Minnie's beau
ty, and asked his opinion about her ;
but lie gave mo no nnswer. When we
parted for the night I noticed that iU
voice sounded straugoas ho said:
"Don't fall in lovo with that girl; sho
Is too aristocratic to bo tho wife of a
iiead sawyer."
Four weeks had passed since I be
came acquainted with Minnie. Almost
every evening James and I could bo
hceu in the parlor of the cottage. Soon
it became known that Minnie and
wero engaged to bo married within six
months. I do not remember how I con
fcsficd my love, all I know is that sho
pressed my hand as I asked her to bo
my wife, wliilo her lips said "yes.'
Her father hud no objection to our
union. Ho had known mo for many
years, and knew that 1 was able to sup
port a wife. Ho even asked mo to bo
como his partner, to which proposition
I gladly assented.
One evening, Minnlo and I wero sit
ting at tho foot of a sugar pine, talking
about our approaching marriage, when
wo heard tho report of a rifle, tho bullet
of which whistled past my head.
I sprang to my feet and shouted
"Halloa! you stupid fellow, what
aro you shooting at?"
"I supposed it was a deer 1" answered
a well-known voice, and James with
riilo In his hand, cinorged from some
maiizantia bushes about tlfty feet from
where iBtood.
"Yon couldn't luistukemo fora deei
said I.
"Yes," answered James, pointing to
my grey lint, in tho band of which Mm
nio had playfully stuck somo dry branch
es from a bush closo by.
'Ah, I see," said I, taking olf my hat
"Well, next tlmo you had better look
littlo clo.,er !"
'I will" repented he, moving away
ami soon Ids form was lost amidst tho
increasing darkness. Again it seemed
to mo that his voico sounded stroll;
But I had no time to think about it, for
Minnlo had fainted, anil it seemod
long time to mobeiorobho opened her
eyes. It was night beforo wo reached
tho cottage.
Next day James Alton gave us no
the ho would leave within ton days,
Time rolled quickly amidst tlio prop
uratlons for our coming marriage.
hud been twice to S In order
to
hire another engineer, but I could find
no 0110 to tako James's placo, and ho
was compelled to remain until tlio ar
rival of a machinist, an old friend of
mine, who was coming frotnSaii Fran
cisco.
On Sunday uvening, two days beforo
thu day r.ct for iny marriage with Min
nlo, I had occasion to go down to iho
saw-mlll. Aflcr I had looked at tho
saws to t-t'O If they hud been properly
wedged ami illed, 1 descended to tho
boilers, bet bhlo by side. As usual, in
both their ends wero tlm man-holes.
Thiinc 1110 emi-cireular openings
through which, when necessary, tho
llreinen crept In order to clean tlm In
sldu of the boilers. Ono of these man
holes was open, uud somo boys, chil
dren of the llremeii, wero playing with
a short Iron bar near by.
I do not know what made 1110 htop
and watch them pushing tho bar
through tho aperture, whllo they list
ened to tho sound of tho water as Its
wavelets moved past tho bar, nnd dash
ed against tho Inside of tho holler,
"Stop that play, boys," said I, "and
tell Jnnies to closo up tho boiler." Thoy
had not seen 1110 beforo, and when they
board my voice they let tho iron bar
all and bcampercd away. Tito bar
dropped with a loud splash Into the
water.
"Nover mind," thought I, " tho flro
men can get It out ngnlu when thoy
clean tho boiler next Sunday, 1 was
about to leavo tlio boiler room when
James entered.
"Good evening, sir," began lio lu
cheerful tone; "I guess tho new engin
eer will urrivo to-morrow night, and I

mil glad of It. Pleaso step into my room
nnd read this letter which I'vo received
this afternoon. From it you can seo
why I',m glad to get away from hero."
Ho gavomo h letter. It was too dark
to reat outside, and I entered ills room.
A lighted lainp stood upon tho tnblo. I
sat down and road tho letter which was
front James's mother, urging him to
como homo Instantly.
"You thought I was mad at you bo-
eauo you inado lovo to Minnie. But
ou wero mistaken, old boy, for look nt
this letter," said ho handing mo anoth
er. It was a letter apparently from a
oung girl, although tho hand-writing
was rather masculine. It was dated
from tho s.11110 Now England village In
which James's mother was living, and
its contents breathed Intenso lovo for
him. It was signed "Annie."
Yes," replied ho, In nnswer to my
questioning look. "I'll marry Anuio
os boon as I set my foot In my natlvo
village."
Won't you wait until tho bans aro
published?" asked I, with a laugh.
"Not a minute. I'll go straight to
her house, toko her to tho next parson
who, for money and good words, will
soon tie tlio knot! Now," continued ho
aflera pause, during which ho took a
bottle and two tin cups from a shelf
abovo Ids bod; "now let's drink to tho
health of our Intended brides." And
he filled tho cups
"Hold on, James ! Firot let mo know
what is in tho cups?" said I.
"lour ituenueii ralhor-ln-law gavo
me a bottle of Angelica wltio. He said
it was the best ho had In his cellar,'
answered James.
I like sweet wine and I took tlio cup.
"Hero is the health and prosperity of
Annie 1" exclaimed I, emptying tho
cup.
"Hero's to Miss Minnie, who 1 am
sure, will bo tho best and truest of
wives," was tho toast of James, who
loo emptied his cup.
"Nowhciois a real Havana!" said
he, taking somo cigars from his pocket
and handing one to me, which I light
ed. Then settling back into tho chair I
listened lo n detailed account of his pre
vious life. The narrative pccmed very
uninteresting to me, mid I wus wishing
Inwardly that It would wion end, for I
had to go to S that very samo
nlghl on business connected wllh tho
mill.
Gradually tho light became dim, and
tlio voico of James bounded hollow. I
tried to tell him to trim the lamp and
speak a littlo louder, but my lips only
moved, and not a sound came from my
throat. Tlio tobacco amoko Is choking
me, thought I, casting my eyes toward
my right hand, which was slowly Blip
ping Ironi tho edge of the lablo upon
which was lying the half consumed ci
gar. Strange that I felt no pain as thu
hand struck tho sharp comer of tho
chair. I tried to rise, but my endeav.
01s wero vain. Somo heavy weight np.
peared to press upon my shoulders, n
weight that I could not shako oif. 1
lifted my eyes towards James, who was
sitting opposite me. My God! Was it
an hallucination of my whirling brain,
or was it reality?
I saw, as if through a haze, tho eyes
of James, glaring nt mo like those of a
wild cat about to spring upon its prey
Every lino of his features proclaimed
hate undying hate. Hoarosuand camo
closo to wliero I sat
His voice sounded to 1110 like tho roar
of thunder as he said :
"Aha ! I'vo got you now, my fine fel
low; this time I am sure that you nev
er, never can marry Minnie. Ten miu
utes moro and you aro dead. Oh ! it's
no use,"crled ho in a voico that pierced
my ears as ho saw iiow I tried to shako
off the colls that seemed to bind mo to
tho chair. "No uso whatever, old boy,
If I would let you go now, you'd hang
me. True enough, a gipsy onco said
that I'd break'my neck, but not upon
tho gallows, no! no! Some weeks ago
I tried to kill you, hut it was already
too dark to tako good aim, and you es
caped." "Tho letters you havo perused uro
nothing but forgeries. My mother lias
been dead theio fou1 years, and tho girl
Anulois only a creation of my brain!"
His voico boomed to lower to a whis
per as ho continued:
"They will say that you have been a
villain, that you lied n few days beforo
tho day bet for tlio wedding. Minnie
will bo very unhappy, and 1 will do my
beat to cheer her up. Shu would havo
loved mo had you not crossed my path
with your ilno tall; and soft uonseiibo
which won her iillectioiis."
"Two minuter! moie," said he,aftora
pause, during which Unto ho looked a
Ids watch. "Ytw, two minutes ii)orq
audyoursoiil will Icavo its miserable
hotly. Ploaso givo my best regards to
Ills Satanic Majesty. Tell him sooner
or later 1 will Join you in tho fiery re
gions below. Your eyes aro closing
now, your fain lias thu htiu of death,
your limbs aro getting cold, yes, cold as
ice!"
I felt the touch of his hot hand upon
my face. It seemed us If a thousand
needles wero entering every part of my
body; aredliluo obscured my vision;
and It was becoming darker. J felt us
If something was pressing upon my
heart, which now seemed to leavo my
nody; my breath became shinier and
shorter all at once It stopped. I coun
ted thebeallngs of my heart one, two,
liiree, four, live, hlx ! Then all was ob
livion. I opened my eyes, that is, I fult I
opened thi'iti, us not a ray of light fell
upon the pupils. Darkness, impenetra
ble darkiieb.s was around me. Was I In
tho grave V I made an effort to stretch
out my hands, I succeeded, They
moved through water which 1 now felt
was eddying around my neck.
Where was I? Surely it was not a
dream; for I raised my right arm to my
henil,aud my hand camo in contact with
an Iron rod upon which my head was
lying. Again tlio question passed
though my mind : "Whero am 1 ?"
Soon, but too soon, tlio question wus
answered.
Hull; ! I heard tho sound of a distant
volte. It camo nearer nnd nearer yos

my curs did not deceive me. It was
tlio votco of Georgn our night watch
man. Ho was singing n pong. The words
of tho refrain camo distinctly to my
ears :
"And for my bonnln Annie Laurie.
I'd lay mo down nnd dio !"
It took all my strength to raise mv
self to u silting position. I stretched out
my arms. My hand camo in cemtnet
With cold iron. 1 was mud ! No ! no,
not mad hut I felt that lunacy in tlio
sliapo 6f a terriblospectro was approach
ing me for the quc&tlon was answered:
I was imprisoned within tlio steam
boiler.
I began to shout:
" Help I George, for God's sako
help I"
But my voico sounded liko that of a
muflled bell. Then I commenced, to
pound witli my fists upon tlio Iron.
"Surely, Georgo must hear that,"
thought I.
But no, ho was whistling tho tuuo of
Yankeo Doodle.
Onco ho stopped, and a thrill of Joy
ran through me. Then ho began again.
I felt my way to tlio iicad of tho boil
er, for now I heard that ho was opening
tho furuaco doors. I knew well what
ho was going to do. Soon I heard a
scratching 6ound iio was lighting a
match. Then I heard tlio rustling of
shavings which ho was throwing into
tho furnace. This was shortlyfollowed
by a crackling bound.
"Ho's lit tlio fire, and I bhall bo boil
ed alive!" thought I, again pounding
and scratching againbt tho sides of the
boiler, in the vain hope of making mv
sell heard. I felt not tho pain, but I felt
mat tlio warm blood was dropping from
my lacerated knuckles and torn nails,
I listened. Tlio sharp crackling sound
of tho flro became lower and lower.
Again I had hopes thu flro had gono
out.unu I know that tho watchman hud
gono to bod, for tho lighting of tlio flro
was Ills last duty at five o'clock In tho
morning. I also knew that tlio fireman
whould not riso until half past, five.
rwenty, perhaps twenly-llvo minutes,
and then ho would come and relight
tho fire.
"Thirty minutes and then I must
die!"
I folded my hands, and prayed lo God
us I had never prayed before. I recalled
to my mind a prayer my mother taught
mo when I was a child, and a holy calm
camo over me, for surely, thought I, Ho
who sees tho sparrow fall, will not de
sert mo in my present need.
Slowly my hands parted and fell to
my side, anil slowly I crawled back to
wards the end of tho boiler, where 1
knew was tho man-whole through which
I had been shoved by tho wicked engi
neerwhiloil was under the Influence of
tho drug which he had administered
I passed my hands over tho cast-iron
plato which shut up tho only egress
from tho boiler. I pushed against it
with all my strength ; still I know that
ono hundred pounds of steam pressure
could not remove that plate. I felt ox
haiisted by my efforts and I threw my.
self at full lengtn against the flues. Tho
water covered inoup to my neck, which
1 kept abovo its level.
A desperate thought enuio to my
mind I why should I not drown my
belf by lowering my head? It would
enu my misery nt once. Somo one
seemed to whisper in my ear. "Do it."
Then another voico said, "It is suicide,
and God will punish you I" u
I laughed, yes, I laughed. It is only
a dreamt" said I, "and I soon will wako
and onco more seo tho biassed light of
day."
But it wus not a dream, it was a ter
rible reality. Tho lovo of lifo tamo
back to mo. Again I pressed my bauds
over tho cold surfuco of tlio boiler. Thoy
cntuo in contact with something which
moved.
God in his infinitu mercy had given
to mo tho means of escape from that
living tomb. My hands wero grasping
the short iron bar which tho boys hud
dropped into tlio boiler! It was lying
across somo of tho stray rods which
traversed tho boiler In all directions.
1 used it as n hummer ngalnst tho
castlron phttO'Which covered tho man
hole. Ono sharp blow, a crack, and a
stream of blinding light fell upon my
eyes. It was tho rising sun, for tho
back part of tho boiler looked toward
tho east. Two moro blows, and tho
broken pluto fell with a splash into tho
water nnd left tho aperture open uud
cleur for my escape.
It is yet it wonder to mo that tho In
tenso Joy that I experienced ilid not kill
mo. With difileulty I crawled through
lio opening. I staggered towards tlio
engineer's room anil opened tlm door.
Tho apartment was tonanlloss; James
had gono to Ids breakfast. I looked nt
tlio clock; it still lucked fifteen minutes
to six.
A strange thought flashed across my
mind. "What if I should tuko tho
spare inaii-lioli) plato from tho store
room closo by, and tlx It Into tho
aperture. I havo yet ten minutes time.
Would not James think that I was still
within tlio holler?"
I r;ii to tho store-room anil took the
plato from tlio bhelf. It seemed very
heavy to mo as I carried it to tho buck
part of tho holler; there I laid it down
and closely examined tho lead gasket
which was around its rim. Everything
was complete wllh tho exception of put
ing on somo retl lead. I went back to
thu storo room, got tho littlo cask of
leatl ami put boino of it upon tlio tow
that James hud wound round tho lead
gasket. Then 1 fastened tho aperture
by means of a clamp and nut. Wliilo
I wivsat work I heard tho voice of tho
fireman. Ho was swearing at tho neg'
lect of tlio watchman in not lighting
the flro. Tliero was no danger of my
being detected. He, as ho afterwards
told me, thought that it wus James ma
king somo repairs, for lie heard tho
clanking of iron whlluho was employed
about thu furnace.
It was near slx.and in a mluuto moro
Jainoi would return from tlio boarding
house, that stood some dlstanco apart
from thu saw mill. I looked about mo,
Near the holler and close to tlio steam
guugo was a high shelf half concealod

by a largo beam. By Jumping upon tlio
boiler I could reach that shelf. I was
not a minute too soon. Scarcely was I
concealed behind tlio beam beforo I saw
Jnmcs entfcr tho engine room. Ho look
ed very pale, untl largo black circles
wero around his eyes, as if he had pass
ed a sleepless nlghl.
There was no partition between tlio
boiler nnd engine room. One glaneo nt
tho steam gauge told him that the
watchman had neglected his duty. Ho
rushed down tho few steps in front of
tho furnaco and shouted to tho ure
al).
"Quick, Jim, throw moro pitch pino
labs into Uio lire. Mr. Smith Will givo
us fits. Look! hols coming now to
find out why I haven't blown tlio
whistle 1"
"Watchman's fault!" grumbled Jim,
opening tlio doors and shoving Into tho
furnaco a hugo plio of shavings. Mr.
Smith entered tho flro room, and James
explained to him why steam was not
up high enough to start tlio cnglno.
Georgo ought to havo fired upatfive,
but I supposo ho was sleeping at his
post," lio continued.
"Well," said the father of Minnie, "I
will teli Louis to pay liltn ids wages
and discliargo him !"
When James heard my namo men
tioned I could seo that ho.trcmblcd from
head lo foot.
"By tho way, whero id Louis? Ho
has not been to his brcakfast,and Iiodid
not sleep In Ids room last night I" said
Mr. Smith.
"I L don't know," faltered tho guil
ty wretch, turning away.
"Ho said to tho second sawyer that
ho was going to S upon some busi
ness,'' said Jim, looking up.
"All right. Now Mr. Alton, do your
best to get up ateam os soon as possible
for every hour lost is money out of tho
company's treasury," said Mr. Smith,
leaving tho Uro room.
I .fult faint nud weary, yet I remained
at my post. James was passlug lo ami
fro witli restless steps. Qnco ho stopped
and lifted tiio safety valve from which
now camo a sound like a sigh., Quickly
he'dropped tlio cords connected with
tho lover, and something l'tko a groan
escaped from his half-open mouth.
Ho then lit ids pipe but after ono or
two puirs bo tfirew it upon a, bench.
Then again ho resumed ids rapid walk
I looked at the steam gauge. It Indica
ted ten pounds pressure to tho square
Inch and was rapidly rising. Junius
stopped in his walk and begun to oil
thojournnls of the engine. Tho fireman
had gone out of tho room. "Now is my
time," thought I, rising up and jump
ing on tliu boiler next tlio engine.
"Jnnies James!" cried I, and my
voico sounded even strange tome. Ho
quickly turned and sank upon his knees
as ho saw my form standing a few feet
from where ho had been at work.
"Mercy, mercy!" groaned ho with
uplifted bunds.
"No mercy to a murderer!" shouted
1, Jumping from tho boiler witli tho in
tention of seizing him.
But ho was too quick for me. With a
cry of intense horror ho sprang to Ids
feet nnd ran up tlio broad Mops leading
to tho upper part of tlio mill.
"Save me, avo mq !" ho shouted to
tho workmen, rushing past them upon
tho Iogway.
"Stop liim, stop him!" shouted I
springing after him. Tho men gavo a
shout, but instead of following him thoy
ran away, somo crying, "a ghost! a
ghost 1" and others "a crazy man!"
Without heeding their outcries I fol
lowed James, still crying "stop him !
stop him 1"
Ho ran toward a placo called "Turn
back Creek." Tho creek was appropri
ate named. Three hundred yards from
tho mill was a steep precipice, over
which tho water of tho creek plunged
with a frightful roar.
"Stop, James, stop. You aro running
to the jaws of death !" shouted I when
1 Miw him only a few feet from tlio edge
of tho chasm.
Tlio sound of my voico only beeniet)
to add more speed to his bteps. Pros
ently for a moineut ho stopped an
turned Ids ashen face towards me, then
lio gavo a bound liko a deer and disap
peared from my sight.
A week passed by beforo my mind
was clear enough torecognizothoso who
were dear to me.
Minnlo told mo that I had passe t
through u violent brain fover.
"What bus becomo of tho engineer?"
"James is. dead niiJ hurled," said sho
it answer to my question, "They found
dm lying at Iho foot of tho waterfall.
Ho lived long enough to confess thai
ho had pill you lu tho boiler, and th.it
ho supposed that It wus your ghost lhat
haunted him. I prayed with him ttnt'l
he lireuthed his lust. Ho died penitent
I afterwards learned from tho work
men that they wero terribly frlghtcmd
at my appearance.
