Like itiiiny another miner in the far west he hal made money and loxt it, hail proNix'cted for minus, fouad -tare ami U-t-ii cheatetl out f his rights, hatl (rrtnvn poor atul ill, antl hal thrown himself under a tree, careless uhrXkcr lie lived or died. The great snowy mountain praks and the rieh verdure had lot their at traction for It i ii. He hail hoped ami been disappointed so many tituws that he had come to believe himself un lucky; that he suoul.l never possess a tlollar; that there was neithex Jia,ppi ncss nor home for him. He had seen better days. HisUarfre, dark eyes, his broad br-, hi.n well shaped mouth and c-Uiu besMik refine meut iu the years that were (rone. He had Weu well educated, hail tried many tilings aud failed in them, not from lack of euerjy nor from lack of judg ment, but Ilia fiUe aeeuied be .an ad verse tne. He had done maay gottd acts, had al ways helped lis brither miners, had tried to hxik on the bright side of life, had fought manfully and been defeat ed in the battle, lie "had imajrined sometimes tint the -clouds had a silver lining, but the itorms always came sootier or later. He meditated thus as he lay under the tree, antl finally, more dead than alive from want and exhaus tion, fell asleep. 1 wo mem pass? aaemp; runiler iWie brow of the mountain, by the tree. They were tall and straight, and from their dark hair and skin it was easy to preceire their Indian blood. "The white man is dead,'. aid one of the urit, as he bent on his knee be side the sleeper. there is a twitchine f the eye lids," viiid the other. "Jle is pale and sick. I will take itun home, and Mimosa will care for him."" The conversation, carrieisl -on lin & low tone, awakenetl the miner. "Come with us, ami you shall hare fd and shelter," said SAut friendly I u lian. Searcrlf lUe to War lii -weight, Martin leaneil upon the arms of the two men. aud soon found iiiwself .in .the humble Indian cabin. ".MijuosiL. heire is a Kbraafrnr.

She did not speak, but looked rery jaityinjrly out of her a-n-like. tlark yes. When Martin had Wen placed ia the simple bed. she prepared food for him .and ted him as though he were child. Day by day slw came and went, speaking' little, bat duinr jrently the thtnga which only a Jitiman's hamlscaiBu. After a time the miner, still a young man, gained in strength aud began once more ti hope for a aaeeesslul future. '.Mimosa. fce aid one day. "lave mv life to you. antl if I am ever rich J will come back and reward you. "I shall miss you, said the ITtrL. shyly. tut i .want no money. I shall be happy .because you are well again and hajitiy. "I shall yet find frold. Mimosa. I used to think 1 sJswuhl le ricli, and then I iH-came poor juid sick and lost heart. Yoa wear a ring on your finger and sometimesa eUain aloutyour neck, both of beaten vld- Did the '"tnl come from mines near here?" "My father gave them to me, she replied, and 'nothing more could be learned from her on the subject. "Would yon care. Mimosa, if I wore the ring until I went atray? l'erhaps I can find the place wners the gold came from." "You may wear it till you come back rich," she said, smiling. Days grew into weeks, and the time drew near for the miner to say gotwl-by to the girl who hatl become his comrade as well as deliverer. Tears til let! her eyes as they parted. "Von will forget Mimosa.' she said. "No, I will bring back the ring, and jou shall give it to the man who makes yon his bride. I shall never forget Red Cloud nor his daughter." .Strong and hopeful again. Martin took up life, obtained work, and be lieved once more that he should find gold. So sweet ami blessed a thing is hope, giving luster to the eyes, a ail quickening the flow of blood along that veins! Jtut h missed the Indian girL The pines on the snowy mountain peaks whispered of her. The evenings teemed longer than formerly; the con versation of the miners leas interest ing. He was lonely. He was earning air living, bnt of what nse was luoaejr to liim, 1 he was to feel deso late ( heart? Mitua was not of his race, I Kit she had a lorsble nature, fe rune inhered that she loultcd sad at his gofnav. ay. He wondered If" she erer t-ourfut alioul him. If she hatl some Indian suitor, would she not wTsh for the ring again? He would like at least to see the man ami his daughter who hatl saved his life, lie would carrj back the ring. Ah! if he knew where the gold in it came from, perhaps he would indeed 1ecome rich, antl then who could make hitu so happy as Mimosa? ' Months onl3 increased the loneliness in Martin's heart. He was leeoiuing di. scot i raged again. He even Wgan to fear that Mimo.sa was marrietL antl his soul a wakened to a s.-nse of loss. He would go liaek just once, ami see her. anil on his journey back he would sit for a half hour under the tree where Uetl Cloud had found him. "What ails Martin?" said one miner to another. "JJ-e must 1h- in love no fun in 'ti in as in the old days. Going to tjuit camp, "he ways." After Martin hnl decided to' go to wsf Ke-tl Cloud, "his heart seemed light er. If Mimesa were married, he could at least show !her Ihis gratitude. And if she wore ntit? verv restful to see Well, it would be her once more! He started on his journey. The full Rtoew was rising as he neared the old tree, where lied Cloud hatl found him. As tie -approached, he was startled by a white figure. He turned aside 'or a onnment, nnd'Hien went cautiously up to the great trunk. Two dark eyes full f tear gawd up into his e3-es, at first with a startled look, and then with a gleani'of.ijoy and trust- "Miinosui" he exclaimed, and clasped tthe Indictn girl in his arms. '"Why :Te you here, child, at this itime-of night?" "'I came here to think of you. Martin. :nnd'the-monlight is so sweet antl com forting. The green trees antl the moun . tains tell me of you. 'I have-brought you back the ring, rMiinossu"" ""Antl are you rich yet? Yon were to Ikeep it till yon were rich." "Xt, but I would le rich, perhaps. If .'you would tell me where the gold in the ring was found." "My father gave it to me, she re ; plied, quietly. "Miiiitsa, would you love me if I were rich?" "l'erhaps I should be afraid of you if you were." Would you love me if I remained poor as 1 am now?" "Yes. always." ''Antl if I became sick and could not 'care for yon, what then?" would care for you. Martin. I have brought back the ring. Mimosa, that 3-ou may give it to the man who shall make you his bride." "And would you like to keep the Jring, yonrself, Martin?" ' "Yes dearest." They went back to the home of Red Cloud, happy, because promised to each other in marriage. Aslter a quiet wedding. Mimosa said one tlay: "Come with me, Martin, ami I will show you where the gold in the ring and the necklace was fountL" Not very far from the tree where the miner hat! Iain down discouraged. Mimosa pointed out the shining ore, the spot known only to the few In dian. "Mimosa, there is a mine herel This gold is the ontcropping of the veins. I shall yet le rich, my darling." "Would you snrely love me as much, ?.Martin, if you were rich?" "I would give you everything your eart desired." "And not go to an eastern country, nd le great, and forget Miruta?" "Never!" With a happy heart Martin Paly took his pick to the mountains. The shining ore opened under his touch. His claim each day showed more value. He had. indeed, become rich through ;the ring of Mimosa. .Years have passed. Two thonsand .YWdlars are taken each day from the .mine. The children of the Indian girL educated, gentle as their mother, and energetic as their father, are in a hand some house. Love in the home has .kept as bright as the gold in the moun 'tain.

A sudden favorable turn of fortune does not always alienate the lucky in dividual from his habitual occupations. This more or less wise saw is applica ble to the case of the present king of Segon, Who was put on the throne of his black .kingdom by Col. Arehinard, wlnrn his royal predecessor, Ahmadon, . ton"; to flight for his safety. LiWmba the present monarch. Is a native if- the country over which he at present rules but was formerly con troller of telegraphs at Senegal. Ile fore;ocepting his regal state, he made it a condition that his name should con tinue, to be inscriled on the list of tele graph servitors, and that his situation as kin? should be considered as sub rv ient, to that of his original employment- Matlemba must have learnt, either !Wyiintuition or from acute observation, thai '.the" lot of a monarch is less certain, iBrtl.ee .tlays, than the position of an officeriin' the service of the "postes et telegraphes," and so preferred to keep i reserve what might one day prove to fee .a Juippty issue out.uf all his amic liuus. He 'has. rno doubt, constantly one eye on His throne and the .other one of memory op;the office of Tais former tel egraphic -exploits. Should -.the future bring about for Mademba that change which Ti jn the modern order .of things, he may return to the tie-tic of his former days wiith the right to add to hi title of preference that of "ex-king of Segon. l'olitraess in -telegraphic offices ad thongh once seriously complained of by M. tiny de Maupassant, is generally the rale, even with the ordinary em ployes; but should Mademba L of Segon ever return te his Senegallan bureau, his clients may expect to be treated in right royal fashion by a man who never lost sight of business, even when promoted to the honors of an African tlroTja. li all gna ni iessenger. The Rig-tit Kind of Woman. A Massachusetts woman suggests as a way to make one kind of cruelty to horses unpopular, that all women in the United States who are interested in the cause should sign a pledge not to ride behind horse whose tail has bees docked, lint how many women are sufficiently Interested to undergo the humiliation of being out of fashion in o "conspicuous a matter? j THE ADY1CK SOCIAL. A Novel Way of Replenishing an Empty Treasury. As Santa Ynez was a small town, a small matter produeed a great sensa tion. Ileal estate speculations, auction sales and late arrivals all paled into insignificance, when com J wired with the doings of a certain Thursday even ing. The affair was carefully oredited to a pair of New Kngland maidens, usually known as 1hoe Tinekney jrirls." The girls in question hatl the invention and quick wittednew which characterize the natives of Yankee lantL but which never attains its full height until it is transplanted to Cali fornia soil. Helen and llertl-a Pinckney hatl long ago exhausted the social re sources of Santa Ynez. They walked, they drove, they joined Span sh con versation classes anl took .sons on the guitar. They wrote glowing letters to the home papers altout the climate antl scenery aremnd Santa Ynez. They did their lx-st to cheer up poor Mrs. Pinekney. wlw pined for the bleak and chilling air o& -dear Massa chusetts. "I have made a discovery. announced ISerthaone morning wJaen she returned from hr walk. ". not her?" remarked Jier sister, not looking up from' her-itook. "Now do show some interest. Helen. There is the nicest little free kinder garten in the lower part of Olive avenue. I have just leen visiting it, and 1 know all alwmt the teacher antl everything. It's nominally supported by the Santa Ynez .Free Kindergarten association, but there are almost no funds in the treasury. There, now, you're Wginning to look enthused. What rf you thinking al.ut!" 'My dream last night, and I was wondering if it wouldn't make an original entertainment." "For what? h, I see, the kinder garten In-nefit. J hope it wasn't a popcorn social, f a necktie and apron performance. r a donkey party." "No. indeed, this was something new, and with a few changes will do very well for our grand lieticfit." There was a l.x in the Santa Ynez drugstore. It -had a slit in its top, and it was labelled: aivick mix." On its front was pasted the following notice: ")Vron who wish to irive advice on any topic are invited to make us- of this box. Com munication, must be unsigned and placed in euvt-lnpes, which tanxt lie addressed to the Imtxhi. for whom the advice is intended. The box will be opened and a lvtre distrtlMited at the 'Advice Social. lroeee.l. of entertain ment for the free kindergarten. Notice of time and place nivt-n later." The ymng drug clerk smiled to him self erhea he saw how cautiously the tox was approached. Though he ap peared to le litoking another way, he knew when the envelopes were slipietl into the narrow opening. Helen and Ilertha spent their spare time in writ ing letters of advice. They were at this moment scribbling for dear life, Helen at her -desk antl lkrtha at the round taUe. Finally Helen looked over to her sister. -U.nwn. i make this a success Ilertha. if wc write every bit of it. I spoke Xt fLeoni Krerett this morning, and sixagreed to typewrite' them and lmrn the originals. She is Millltank'a confidential secretary, you know, and as silent as the grave." "Yes she's just the one to do that part oi it. You ought to hear my last piece i advice. It's for Frank Kit tredge. " "Vera are advised not to wear such gorgeous ties. You have good taste in other matters but yonr vivid ties spoil the general effect. You are also too fond of making yourself the topic of conversation. Your likes and dislikes your experiences and your relatives are atore interesting to you than to ther -people.''" "Why. Jtertha Pinckney, how could yon ay vuch things to Mr. Kittredge?" "I ootsidn't, that's the point. Noliody wants tto tell a handsome, good-natured young mu such unpleasant truths Itut smTuody can dispute two facts those flaxnissg ties and his everlasting I s. V4L I didn't expect to fall into rhyming tmawares. I ana going to disguise the style of my awl-rice letters as much as possi ble," said Helen. "Take this for in stance, to Asuaa 3'eel: "'Frirsid of any heart, there is but one flaw m the Veautiful jewel of your leing, in yw naolodious lute one tiny rift. Yonr vioe .is music anil your smile esvckaatBaent, -but your laugh "tis like wt Tste.lls .out of tune, and jars upon the ear. -AVotlld you be free from defects? Modify that laugh or dispense -iritli ix :alttgether. These words come from one who admires you sincerely. There, will anyone accuse me of writing that?" said .Helen, laugh ing in spite of herself.

Then we can show them to others -and JLhey won't feel that we have eaeapod." The town hall in Saata Snee was decorated for the Advice Social. On the wall back of the platform, the fol lowing appropriate words were placed: " O wad eome power the ptfUe pie nil. To see ourselves a ttber. see ."" The friends of the Free Kindtrgarten were all there. They sat Itack com fortably, with the placidity which only follows a large sale of tickets As one whispered to another, it made no dif ference whether the hall was fail or not, the money was virtually in the treasury. Hut the hall began to fill at an early hour, and by eight o'clock there was not a vacant seat to be seen. Bertha and Helen Iinckney played a brilliant four-hand piece on the grand piano, which received little attention and less applause. A few hu morous songs and readings followed, but for some reason or other they seemed dull or silly. "They act just like children at a Christinas entertainment, whispered Jtcrtha to her sister; "they can't wait to see their present" The last number on the program me was called, "Dis tribution of Advice." Name after name was read by the young drug clerk, and the envelopes were carried by pages The young man dispensed some of his roost bitter pills that evening, though he did not compound the mixture. The expressions on the faces of the audience were worth the study of an artist One young fellow tore open his en vel cpe, gfanced at its contents'aud stuffed it into his pocket 'Here. I want to see that," said his companion. "I'll show you mine: come now. Jack, what ails you, anyway?" Jack turned an angry red antl stnl iMirniy refused to display his piece of advice. Some girls in front were aiuused by their discoveries "Oh, I just know who wrote this," whispered the prettiest one to her next neigh lior. "It was old Miss Smith. I know it just as well as if she had signed her name at the l.tttom. It sounds just exactly like her: You are to pert and forward for a young woman: your elders have learned wisdom bv experience, antl it would be much better if yon were guided by their judgment You are too bold and noisy when you are in company with young men. Though they may laugh antl joke with you. they respect modesty and reserve. There, I suppose la-canst I do have lots of attention, she thinks I must encour age them, but I don't, do 1, Maud?" "Of course you don't" the faithful Maud answered, her big, round face vainly trying to .express her indigna tion. After reading her own bit of ad vice, she turned to her friend for sym pathy. "Isn't this great? Just listen, will you: 'You ar3 one of the kindest and lest of girls antl you must not mind it if a true friend speaks plainly to you. If you wear dark colors and simple styles your size is not noticeable, but you are too fond of large plaids ami conspicuous effects. There, that's what mother is always telling me, but I do love bright scarlet antl blue or yellow; my new dress is one of thtse big plaids all Idas you know. Well, I'll have to make the best of it now I've got it" A few feet away sat Maurice Hender son antl his pretty young wife. They were the only children of admiring parents were handsome, rieh anil latel3' marrietL The little wife looked up in to her husband's face as he read his letter of advice. His dark eyes flashed for a moment as he rad: You hide ltehind a mask, but your real inclina tions are known to one at least. You may deceive your wife, that would certainly le an easy matter, but you cannot deceive the author of these words There are glances which cannot be controlled, gestures antl ex pressions which ln-tray your secret." Maurice crumpled his paper carelessly and feigned to drop it on the fltor, but in reality he kept it for a second read ing. In the seat Whind them sat Mrs. Estabrooke, the leader in church so cials bazars and festivals. She was reading the following words: "You are a good housekeeper, a good motherand a great worker in public affairs. You deserve to be commended for all these, but there is one thing in which you fail. It is in the treatment of your husband. It is your habit to make fnn of his pe culiarities antl contradict his opinions. This is carried on to such an extent that it annoys your visitors or friends who happen to le present Your children imitate your spirit, and have little or no respect for their father. Though he is not self-assertive or arbitrary, he is listened to by men of intelligence and judgment who are able to appreciate his ualities." Mrs. Kstahrooke looked a rou ml the hall to see if she could dis cover the person who would dare to ad dress such advice to her, but each seemed occupied with the mysterious messages. Helen and Itertha Pinck ney received a joint letter, and read it tgetlier: "This advice is intended for you both; for one just as much as for the other. I suppose you originated this affair, but it seems almost as if the evil one must have snggested it You have come to Santa Ynez from some little country town in New Kngland, where they have more brains than sense, but you are al ways careful to speak nt yourselves as coming right from 'Itoston.

It's time to go home now, and if you think lest I'll play a inarch for a postlude. The consequences of that evening could not have leen prophesied. Those who were formerly the best of friends regarded each other with unconcealed suspicion. Memliers of the same fam ily made accusations and received de nials.

Ralph was not discouraged. lint on the following morning, when the sun rose in his old time glory, the birds sang their wild familiar songs anil business resumed its wonted clamor, he took little note as he hurried along the leading thoroughfare of tlie city. "Will you lend me one thousand dol lars to set myself up in business?" he inquired of Mr. Simpson, one of the prominent men of the place. "What security?"' "None. I want it as a favor. "Would 1h glad to accommodate you, Mr. Gorden. but business men don't do business in that wa3'." Receiving this all kindly, he sallied out ami entered the private family of an esteemed frientL "Mr. Garten, can I negotiate a loan of nnc thousand dollar.s?" "For your sake I must refuse." Ralph was turning; 3'ct notice that the placid equanimity of his temper remained inviolate. If he possessed no capital, he had suaVl- and forbear ance in happy abundance. "lie seated, Ralph." continued this practical man. "anil I will endeavor to show 3-ou how I am your friend in not being your friend. That sounds a trifle paradoxical.

"And, furthermore, I will make this proposition. If you will succeed with out capital, 1 will give you one thousand dollars." Ralph was dumfounded. "I believe you are right" and Ralph returned to the street On his way through the chief places of business he said to himself: "Wonder how all these men became so rich!" lie hesitated, "I will ask them" He knew Rangs, Itarton & Co.

People always said that Ralph was a worker and industrious "But, ah!" exclaimed the old heads "he can earn money, but he cannot keep it!" These same people were soon sur prised, however, to see a little, unpre tentious corner grocery started, with Ralph as sole proprietor. 'Jt wasn't U'uch," some j'd, but it was a b -iriiming. a lxginnlng! Curious people came in. Men with "inquiring ves." Men with their arms thrust in cadaverous pockets. Some sat on the cracker barrels and looked on. They hadn't ever tried to succeed, and dropped in to see how such nn attempt was supposed to work. A lad came in. "A penny's worth o figs" The article was handled as if it had leen twetitj' pounds of sugar f ilnllar. ' Five cents worth of peanuts. These were neatly tlont up iu a little saw-edged paper bag. Ralph was a model of neatiu-ss aud politeness, and his white apron ami square paper hat gave hitn a sort of dash3 apjearaace. "A half dozen eggs." The orders were slight "Two pounds of butter. Ralph was encouraged. "One barrel of llaxall flour!" This was quite a leap. "Will deliver it after dinner." Yet his visitors were still far in ex cess of his sales.
