One I was ia the habit of spentUnjr, every aprln: there, but I .ball never go" again. Yet it Is to mo the most beautiful place In the world. One lands at the Marina and climbs the hill winding np, up, up the loug white hih rwd, which la like a shelf along the e,t-e of the c!i!T. High above one's head hangs the rnoun t.ii:i, leaniuj forward stark and grim; be low the wall of the road the ground falls dieer away to the sea. One sees nothing but the great shilling plain and the threat en in mountain. Hound and round curve the road be tween those t wo silent watching eneml;, till suddenly, without warning, one roaches the plateau and cornea out in a land of de.ire. It is only to climb a wall and then to walk ouw.-.rd wlthont let or hindrance through the wheat fleld.s under the olives, where the young green wheat blades are like swords for keenuess, and their color strikes oa t he soul like a song too sweet for words, and J et brare withaL And Mow the wheat on the lower ter races are the boaufields, sweat and heavy, where a niau may lio full length on the ehort fro. of the thread-like path, feel nothing but the warm odors, the little wind over tho blossoms, lx conscioa of nothing h:tt the glory of the wheat, the flickering shndes of tho gnarled olives In the afternoon light, and If be lies still enough the pound of the nightingale learning its song. And yet be may be sick at heart! As 1 who lay there tho livi-lontcAprilday, neither reruling nor thinking, nor grate ful to GimI for Tlis wind and His bean fields, but with my fingers In my ears to lint out the sonnd of the nightingale wh.- sang loud, ao lond! For, instead of the young spring tide, I saw nothing but a woman, standing as firt I saw her, drensed In while from head to foot, with liare arms andsboal iter, a wreath of brown winter ivy round her golden head and a great garland ot It on her Kwn. 1 here she stood and looked me In the eves, with a straight grave glance. Not the look she gave men as a rnle. I fouud that out soon enough, for It ever there was a woman coo, nette, sednlsante (my English Wnot good at best. U leaves me always when I talk of her). It was she Smon. I used to watch her often as she talked to men with that Cfniok grace she had. ami Ix-ing ried te analyzlug faces It Is my proti-si-.on for that matter. I who am a doctor I mr that she. whom most women l.ated for her lovers, whom most men adored and thought a soft warm plaything, une, vraiu femme, was in real ity as cold as a stone image. Itw.ts a very pretty play which went oa nro-.md her, with often a change In the jeime premier, but she did not act la It herself. Slie piped carelessly and all her court lsnced, but the grew neither warm uor v e.try. I am not very sure how I came to be so friendly with her; I think ahe began I would nC have presumed. Ttut we fell into a way of walking ovor the hills together ami sitting on the cliffs in tht t.oou ilays, looking out over a sea lik the K'Oty of God for light and color, talking of uiauy things sometimes, somc-t.im-s q-nte eilent, lying In the sun; I jvitli my hat over my eyes, drinking in tli. scents of the f-prinj air. Just seeing tho irleuder of a bush of yellow broom stnuuiug out against a violet sea; she witu i-.tr head flnnx; hick on the short dry gr.Tssos, often enough a cigarette in ; her mouth. As the rtsyswent by we grewqulotJy nearer ono another. Insensibly, till one morning I asked her something. Tho fact was, all the place was ringing with her doings. The men with whom she had amu-ed herself for a time, not all betug gentlemen, handled her name in the cafes without too much courtesy. . And tho women had always hated ber for her beauty, ber toilets, her artistic repu tation; young as she was, alio had had a mention at the Salon. So I asked her if it really amused her sufUciently to be worth the price. She shook her head. When she was not painting she grew horribly ennuyee; she must do some thing. And then it was not all her fault, she said. "It is to a great extent," I told her. "You lead men on horribly (not me co n'est pas la peine but most meu). As soon as they make love to yon they dis gust yon, repel you; yon fling them over none too gently, and, well enfln, they talk." She n odd el. I fancy she knew quite well what sort of reputation she had. But presently ahe said with amusement: "So you do rot care about me you?' "I like you so much that I do not like them to speak of you as they do. You are always bon garcon to me," I cried, turning sharply on her; "why cannot yon translate it literally and be a 'good boy' always Drop yonr coquetry, take life franlly; you would do better." She iid not answer. The sun was hot, she began to look tired and said she had work to do, she must go home. I thought she did not like what I had said. But I walked to her villa w ith her, and as I stood in the lorrr'a and bade her good bye, she pat her hand into mine. And something prompting me, I said very low: "Be a good boy!" She looked me in the face. "I will," ahe said, as though she were making a vow. And she did, I know, for I never again taw In her that light manner which I bad always disliked; I never heard her talk ing to uieu aa I had heard hur often enough. - And we were rather more together than ever. She would not let me treat her as a woman; indeed, ahe was the only woman I ever knew who was, a fond, bon gar eon who knew the meaning of cam araderie. But my relation to her was getting all pose, and I knew It. "Mob camarade, mon bean garcon, mon ami," I said to her, and in my soul I called her "Ma rose Maude, ma cherie." I made np my mind to go away; it was a'.l I could do. She knew nothing abont my wife, and of course I knew I must tell her. So one very windy unpleasant day, as we were sitting in a little sheltered cove ca the bo;e, I "screwed my con rate to the sticking place" aud Uld her I must j to Home. .-, -av -w- I had had a very tlresomo letter and was out of turn, hko tho day, an J 1 did ::: v H n'etly. - - - e . !r arkidlooMn ma where the tat." close against the eternal rock, the glorious strong tea CTA-Llng and foaming at her very feet.

She threw a stone lnto the incoming wave In her turn, then she speke slowly and carefully: "Are you going back to your wife?" she said. " Who told you?" said I, not having voice for more. "The princess, I think. The morning you came into the studio and eho was there." I seldom entered Suzon's house. One morning I had gone to ask her about pho toxraphint; a picture. I remembered, and Princess Mathilda was there. "What did she say?" I asked. "Precisely? She said what a very hand some man you were, and what a sad story yours was." "Ah!"lanidstnpldly. "Where is your wife?" Snron spoke with carefnl civility. I suppose yon will join her in Rome?'1 "My wifo. mademoiselle, la. or rather was, in a maison de sante. She auffors from Incurable homicidal mania." "I beg yonr pardon:" said my comrado softly, and held out faer hand to rue. I took it aa it was offered and lot it go again. She did not ask me any more, nor did I tell her. Of what tio was it to sy that three times had that weman tried to mur der mo when crazed by rinj:k. till her own people bad had her shut up Or why should I say to my bon garcon that I had only that day teceived a letter ftom the doctor at the asylum telling mo that my wife had escaped, and he did not know where ate was. crnld I tell b!m of any baunt In which aho was likely to lxi found? 1 saw no sense in telling ajl this to Sn ron.

So 1 held my tongue. 1 never ihon-ht she conld find me ont in my pleasant land, though she had been there once with me long ago. I never thought that in her mad hatred she wonld remember bow I invariably spent the spring months thereafter my winter's work. But 1 fancied 1 should find her in Rome. "What are you going to do?" I asked Snzon. "Work." ahe said quietly. She never spoke ot it, bat I knew aho painted for her bread, and that she had no Idea et savins money hut lived from hand to month So I was acxions abont her. I could not trust myself to think about It. 1 would keep au conraut with her doings: that wss all J conld do for her, though 1 knew she was horribly poor, and the life of a beautiful woman in Pans is not easy In that case. "We will have one more walk Ik-fore I go," 1 taid toSuzon. and she said 'Yes." Sotkeuext day we walked up the ter raced hlh road, up nrd np till wo reached tho olives and the wlient, and then the beanfields, and. wandering on at our own sweet will, were happy and inno cent, God knows. Wc sat down at last on the long grass at the edge of the chff overhanging the sea, where a little wind came np to us. We did not speak f-f Its bein our last day; wo talked as usual, comrade to com rade, while a nightingale somewhere about kept trying his voice in broken ecstacies. It was like heaven. I lay on the grass; Suzon. not far off, read Leopardi aloud. Why she chose that philosophic de desespoir, she who had still la joie de vivre, I do not know. But presently I eeased to hear her voice. I do not sleep at tifht, and, like all people who have insomnia, am utterly unable sometimes to keep from falling Into a deep sleep, especially iu the open air. And so I did that day. And while I slept that woman most have been creeping on to us. For I started, dazed, from my sleep to see Su son struggling In the grasp of a mad woman on the very verge cf the cliff! Ot courso 1 knew wbo it was. I was on my feet liko a dash, but not in time; for before I could roach her I saw my com rade Cuag out over that awful height! And then two men who had been work ing Is the fields enmemnning and eanght my wife. ! did not wait to bear them tell how they had seen her creep up to me. not aeeinrt 1 was not alone, how. j it as she held the knife at my bark, Suzon had leaned like a cat and canht it from ber hand, and tow that she devil had turned on her. All that I beard afterward. Now I ran down that ziitztg path to the shore and knelt by my I. tile comrade! I thought ahe was t!e.d for nearly every bone in fcer lody was broken and ber eyes werecIoed in stnpor. I groped for her heart with my hand (I wao had never teuchod her). She was alive, for I frli it at sr. and then ahe opened her eye and looked at me. She knew tne, but she did notT think, remember where she was or what had happened. The poor lips tried to speak and failed. "Try aga'n. my darling, ma cherie!" I cried. "Tell me, are you in pain?" Though I did not think ahe was, for her back was broken. sy it a;a.n," she whispered. " "What?" 1 wondered. In despair I called her by every name I had for her and bad never used except to my own soul. "Ma cherie, ma rose blonde, moa amour." "What yon tmid I was always to you!" she gasped fretfully. "Mon ermarade, ruon bon STarcon," 1 aald. hard i y able to get out tbe words. "Bon gsr " the murmur died in her throat ami her eyes closed. Presoutly I oonld no longer feel her heart. And when I knew she was dead I took her in my arms and carried her np to the little pi .teau, full of wondering peasants where the gendarmes we re taking away my wife. But J did not see them; I went stralp iit to her honse, even to that cham ber w here I had never thought to enter, ud laid her on ber bed. I never kissed her. I wm her comrade, sot her lover.

MUM nil, AJTB AXL AM SLAYX! BKalDX.' ! CAUGIIT LV HIS OWN TRAP. During the first three years of my career as a detective I had some singular jobs given me to work on,-and the man ner in which one of them was worked and the developments of the case may interest the reader. About three miles outside the limits of a large city in Pennsylvania stood a large farmboo.se.' There had been a murder committed there, and whiskey had played havoc with an heir, and the honse had stood vacant for three years before I saw it. The farm had passed into the bands of a New Yorker on a mortgage, and he seemed to have forgotten all about It. Naturally the cry of "haunted honse" was raised, and presently you could not ' hav hired a neighbor to enter the house in the daytime. There were people liv ing within a quarter of a mile of the place, and by and-by they began to tell some queer stories. On two occasions parties of three or four went out from the city to stop la the house all night, but in each instance they were driven away by strange noises be fore midnight. I lived in a town forty mile from tho Haunted house, and consequently heard nothing of it. 1 had a case agnlnrt an absconding treasurer. He had the funds of a large and prosperous lodge in his hands, and got away with fS.OOO belonging to it. He furthermore borrowed about 12,000 of his friends, and got $9X on a forged draft. Tbia occurred in a town about thirty miles from the haunted house. The defaulter had bought a railroad ticket for Chicago, and left behind him. as if by accident, a parrel addressed to a partyin the Garden City. It ought to have been reasoned that this party was he under another nanm, aud that he bad gone to Chicago aa fast as steam conld carry him, but I reasoned just the op posite. He had gone without his trunk or clothing, but when I eame to overhaul his things his landlady figured ont that two clean shirts, several collars, a stout pair of boots and an old salt of elothes were mistting from the house. The boots aud old suit had belonged to a boarder who died months befoee. There were three highways leading out of the town. I worked two of them without success. On the third I soon found a farmer who bad seen a foot trav eler resembling my man pass on the evening he had absconded. Five miles farther on I became positive of his Iden tity. lie walked all that night, with only two brief halts before midnight to Inquire about roada; but once on his trail I soon picked up plenty of pointers. The absconder's name was Kelly, and he was a keen, shrewd fellow. He had planned the embezzlement and escape weeks ahead, and he followed out a regu lar programme. - - - . He left town dressed as a laborer, and carrying a valise. He had a light felt hat. a black felt hat and a cap, and about once in ten miles he exchanged his head gear. " - - . He was a smooth-faced man, bnt had provided himself with a goatee and aide whiskers. - - I thus heard of him once aa a smooth faced young man wearing a cap and hav ing oue arm in a sling; next aa a young ish man with a goatee and a black hat; aain as a full-whhkered man with a light hat. I confess that I was badly poxaled and about to despair, when 1 came to a farm bouse where he had stopped for dinner. He waa then smooth-faced and wore a cap, and claimed to be an agent for a wind mill company whose rights had been in fringed on and who were taking steps to collect royalty. When Kelly entered the kitchen for dinner a hired boy of color, wbo was not permitted to eat with the family, was left in the aitting room. His curiosity regarding the contents of the valise was aroused, and he picked the lock and over hauled them. He was careful not to say anything of this to the family, but when I came along on my errand I soon discovered that he had a secret. The sight of a silver piece loosed bis tongue, and he told me of the hats and false whiskers. After that I had no trouble In follow ing Kelly, no matter which disguise ho aoanmed. There was a direct highway from the town he left to the city with tbe haunted honse. but he did not keep it. He would branch off here and there and make a halt circle to come back again. One or two uight.4 he slept In barns, and so I lost track of bici for a few hours. On one oc casion his fev-t became sore and he lay by at a tavern for two days, and then I actually got ahead of him. While the towns-were only thirty miles apart, Kelly traveled all of 100 miles in making tho distance, and was twelve days about it. I followed him mile by mile, and owing to a severe storm was thirteen days. I traced Mm into the suburbs of the city and t bete lost him, and though I had the help ot three or four local officers, we could get no further trace of him. At length we heard of a person a hundred cries away vro bore Kelly's description, and I was abo-.it to start after him when I overheard the following conversation In k rrwtanraul: " - --- "So the boys that went to the haunted housa got a scare?" "An awful scare. I guess a new ghost has tsken possession." .... "What did they see or hear?" "-.- "Saw doors open and heard groans and various other noises." , "Well, it's funny." "Yes." It may seem strange to you that I at once decided that I bad located Kelly again. It was; quite probable that he had known of the haunted honse for years, as Its fame was widespread, and the fact of a new ghost showing np just at this time made me suspicions. That night at ten o'clock, accompanied by a local detective, I visited the place. It was a rambling big farmhouse, situ ated twenty rods from the highway, and the ground around was grown np to wee. la and bushes. All the windows were broken and some of the doors stood open, and a more gloomy place I never saw. . We entered by a rear door and fonnd the "oor rotting away and the plastering crumbling off. We pushed on to the sit t.jg room, where the young men had stationed themselves tbe night before, r.nd here found some blocks of wood to sit down on. There was a doorway leading Into the front hall, but the door was gone. There was n doorway to the parlor, and the (Joor was partly oren. As we looked into the parlor I swung tho door to awd fr. and knew from the movement that the hinges had been freshly oiled. , j When we came to inspect the cellar we found litlie bnt cobwebs and dust. Kacu of us had a lantern and inspected for him self. At one corner of the cellar I fonnd an old oyster cau in a queer position. It seemed to he sticking to the floor above. III I II III I 81. SO and but after a close examination, without, however, touching it with my hands, I made up my mind that it was held up there by a oord. I said nothing to my companion abont this, nor about another discovery made in the front halL At one spot, where tho plaster was off from base to ceiling, I caught sight of a wire behind the laths. This led up and down, and the lower end was probably attached to some object. We did not go upstairs. Ths front stairs had never been finished, and the back ones were so dilapidated that we hesitated to trust them with osar weight. By eleven o'clock we had taken our seats in the sitting room, eyes and ears alert and ready for any emergency. There was no lock or catch on the door opening into the parlor, but It won shut. The two windows lookiag out of tbe room had been boarded np. We placed our lanterns in a corner, aud as we watched and waited the room was In semi-4ark ness and the house as still as death. It must have been near midnight when the performance opened. We suddenly heard faintnotesof music, and the sou tads lasted for two or three minutes. I was Kati.fled that the sounds came from a jewsharp. My companion whispered that two female voices were singing, while. guitar played an accompaniment. The music had scarcely died away wnear the parlor door opened as noielaealy a. the swing of a coffin lid. I waa perfectly satisfied that it was the work of human hands, but I was startled. I had not told the detective that 1 expect ed to find Kelly In the house. I bad simply said that I expected to make on important discovery. When the door swnng open the man started up ia alarm and whispered: , "Great heavens! Let ns be gone!" I pnt my hand on his arm and waited for the next move. In about a minnte we heard a tunk! tunk! tnnk! on the cel lar stairs. I knew that tbe sound was aiade by the oyster can being lowered a few inches from the floor and drawn np again by the string, but my companion rose to his feet, wheeled half around and whispered: "Look ont for yourself ! The cussed thiug is coming up out of the cellar!" "Keep still listen!" I replied, and when tbe can bad "tunked" one for each step the sonnd ceased. Then the parlor door slowly and silently swung to. As I have told you I was dead sure that all these things were caused by human agency, and yet I felt a creeping of my flesh, and my forehead was damp with perspiration. The detective with me was as brsve a man as ever took up a trail, but such was the effect upon him that his f see was aa white as anow, his teeth chattered, and he clutched me and pleadingly exclaimed: r v. "It we stay here another minute we are both dead men!" -. - I aat down and drew him beside me, and as 1 did so the parlor door opened again, and from tbe front hall came groans and sighs and dull sounds of a struggle. I knew that the wire I had seen was being worked behind the laths, but my com panion could stand no more. He seised both lanterns and started out, and I bad to go along or be left iu. the dark. When clear of the house be made a run for the highway, and I found him on the farther side ot it when I caaic np. , "What's the matter?" I asked. "Good God, man, bnt my nerves are all gone!" he gasped. "I wouldn't stop ia that house another five minutes lor all the money In the State!" -- - I was satisfied that all the noises had been made by human agency. Some one had taken possession of the bouse, audi had a feeling that it was Kelly, It was just in line with his other sharp tricks. cr I did not tell my companion- what I suspected nor what I intended to do, but I had all my plans laid before morning. The old house was two and a half stories, and whoever waa hiding there was likely to be In tho garret. It was also likely that this garret was reached from tbe second story by a ladder, if the person was Kelly or any other sharp fel low, the ladder wonld be drawn up, or anyone showing bis bead above the scut tle would receive a rap. If I got a sqund of men and surrounded the bouse, the occupant might get off by some unknown way, or fjnd a hiding place unkuown to ua. If we failed to rind anyone the whele city would hold us up to ridicule. There was no window In the garret at the back end of tbe liouae. It waa hardly daylight before 1 approached from that direction, entered the place with great caution, and hid myself away beneath the kitchen ataira. 1 expected the occu pant of tbe Barret would come down be fore noon, but he did not abow tip. It waa a dark and gloomy day in the fall, with frequent rain squalls, and about two o'clock in the afternoon I crept np stairs in my stocking feet, entered a room near where the garret scuttle w as located, and liegan plajing the ghoAt for soma one else's benefit. I had bronght along a month organ, and 1 sounded and hung on to a few lone some notes several times over. Pretty soon I heard a slight movement over head. Than I took a fiddle string, made one end fast to a nail, and when I bad hauled tant I picked the string with my thumb nail. I sent forth complaining sound, and added a few alhs r.nd gro.tiis. The sounds above me became plainer, and J k"'v that someone was listening at the scuttle. I gave him a few more notes, scratched on the wall and floor, and in a few minute a ladder was thrust down from the scuttle. A few deep-drawn groans on my part bronght a man down the ladder, and aa he reached the foot of it I collared him. It waa Kelly. He wbo had played ghost on the others had himself fallen' into the trap. He screamed right ont at sight of me, and he did not get his nerve bark until I bad bim outdoors. He fully believed for the time that a spirit innde the sounds. The case was as I had figured. He had planned to come to t he bouse, and be iu tended to remain there several weeks. He had affixed cord, to tne top of the parlor door to swing it, and had arranged for all the rounds we hail beard. If I felt elated be felt very sheepish aa an offset, and when sentenced to two years Iu State Prison for his crime he said to me: "It isn't that I waa canghf . but that I was outwitted and bamboozled. Why, man, I had that whole plan in my head for months, and I'd hare l-t a hundred to one that I'd iet safe off.

Lying pnnglyon an ebon-hued velvet cushion in the cabinet which occupies an alcove in the library of one of the most elegantly appointed and substantial man sions cf San Francisco, there is a memen to of the California of forty years ago a silent remainder of days when the yellow idol, whose shrine was in tbe old river beds and among tbe rocky mountain sides of the then new land, connttd his fiercely eager devotees by the thousand. Several days ago business matters called a reporter to the residence in ques tion and necessitated a lengthy interview with the genial gentleman whose home it is. The reporter had risen to go-when his eyes chanced to catch a dull, yellow gleam from a glass-covtred case close at hand. Another glance disclosed as the object which bad attracted attention, a solid, massive nugget that bore every appear ance of being virgin gold, and that cer tainly must have weighed enough to make its value seem a small fortune to the average man. Considering that people, even wealthy ones, do not, as a general ruie select such articles for Lric-a-brac ornaments, curi osity was pardonable, and the reporter asked, with a quasi apology for his- in quisitiveness: "Would you mind telling me, Mr. , why and how you choose that monster nugget for the place of honor la your cabinet?" The responso to the interrogatory was delayed for n moment, as the nugget's possessor mnsed in silence. "Well, it is not a story that I often telT", because it makes me live over again the days that were of ten too bitter to make pleasant recollections, hut I'll waive zsiy scrnplesthis time, young man, nnd tell you a little piece out of my life that that lump of gold was connected with. Sit iown a?ain and take a cigar, and I'll sat-tu-fy yourcuriosity. Only 1 want it tin tlerstood that if you make a yam out ef this (as you probably will) you call no names." The conditiou imposed was not ob noxious, and the reporter's assent to it was willingly accorded. Mr. . who Is, ty the way. one of San Francisco's oldest and best known resi dents, a genuine pioneer, now rich, reepected aud honored. settled himself for aeomfortable talk, and thus began: "You most likely know what a motley crew it was t hat swarmed into California int the 'good old times. ns tbey called them. We were the representatives of nearly every grade and -conditio: of, society. Scions of the blnet blood aris tocracy rubbed shoulders with gamblers and thieves from theslums; wLite bandtd professional men, doctors, lawyers and clergymen swnng their picks and rocked heir cradles in the same claim with burly roughs who couldn't read xks: wrlte. "I was a healthy young chap; had been nicely brought up, was fairly well educa ted, and was used to better pickings; but a rovinur rtraiu In ray Mocd, and :i pater nal purse that refuse!, from necessity. to respond any longer to my sometimes heavy demands, were responsible for my coming out here.

"When I walked into the place! was the dustiest-looking out-at-elbows tramp that ever trudged a California road dead broke, not enough dust to buy a short drink.no tools to work with, and desperately hungry. But tho boys were too open-hearted in those days'toleta poor fellow starve, and I was as happy as a king that night after I'd stuffed myself with fried baccn and pancakes, and had rolled myself up In an old army blanket in the corner of a good-natured miner's ehanty. "Next day the boys "chlppM In and gave me enough of an out St to make work possible. The diggings were new, and 1 had no difficulty in getting a claim that at least paid for my daily neces sities. "Two r three weeks later 1st rnek: It rich and took enongh out the first day to make mo bejln to think cf home aud n, big bank account some day soon. I was only a youngster, and bad worked myself sick already, and I was fool enough to tell all over enmp about my good luck. Early the next morning I started for my hole and found it had been jumped. "The two roughs who were prof.tingby my find wera not disposed to be at all gracious, nnd, in a word, I was soon lylug on the ground, with my head split open with a blow from a pick handle. "When 1 came to my reuses I was in tbe cabin of a queer old fellow who hid been more than commonly civil to dc before. "The effects tf the thrashing I had re ceived, antl my previously weakened and exhausted condition, left me au easy prty to tho fever that followed.

"Wss i; at all strange that I grew to look upon Jim us my best friend in the world, or that I loved him ye, loved him better than anybody or anything on earth? Why, I often thought that I would have died, and died gladly, for Jim. God bless the dear old fellow's memory! There never breathed a truer or a nobler gentleman than Jim. "Finally, when I got to bo strong enough tu do something for myself, Jita came to me and said: , "'Walter, my boy, we're on onr List legs alMitit. Tho claim's cleaned out, and there's not a half doiea ounces in tho sand.'

"Some time along in the morning awoke with the cold perspiration o.jz;h from every pore. I felt, rather than knew, that souething was wrori. I reached over to where Jim slept, and found his blankets empty, next to where the treasure was buried. My hands could hardly perfoi m their office as I toro up the earth. It was gone, "I rushed out into the faint moonlight. STot a soul was in sight.

"Suffice it to say that the peculiar cir cumstances of th affair v.-ere such ns to limke my p-.tiit doubtful, and that J found no difficulty iu burrowing my way out of the f haiity where I was confined overnight.

"I h.d killed Jirir. the man who had given me my life, the man to whom I had owed more th.-tu I evtr could have repaid. Was his robbing i:i any justificat iou cf the crime?

"I think it must have been Bix months or more afterward that I went hack to the Reeue of my crime. 1 had gouo back to San Francisco and tried to Mart""over again, but it was no use. Nightly I lived over again the horrors of that oue night, aud woke trembling so- that my teeth fairly chattered. So I went back. "It was evening when I reached the place nnd walked into the aloon where everybody used to congregate after tho day's work was done. "When I told who I was nnd sr.id that I was re.v.'.y to be punished ns might seem most fitting, there was n silence of a minute rr two, and then some onestepped up beside me, and looking curiou-ly into my Lice, bunt into a loud ufan-, aud t-jacul.lt id: "'Why, you darn fool, Ihn chnp who killed old Jim Willis was foii-.-.d in-.t day layiu'iu the b::hcs,ac.t u rod noiu whero tc did It, with his head cut open.
