Lowry that he should" have died at that
particular time. Had the unwelcome event
occurred a month before it would not
have mattered so much; bat now, just
as he had struck it rich and had written
East for his wife to come on and share
his good fortune, it was, to say the least,
very exasperating. But he was dead,
beyond a doubt, and likewise variously
scattered, the result of too close intima.
cy with a premature blast
The miners gathered up his visible
remains and buried them with aue sol-
emnity; then they waited for the advent
of the widow.
But not without much misgiving. How
would they meet her?! And who of their
number would assume the delicate and
embarrassing task of informing her that
she was a widow?
They talked it all over that night in
front of Pete Simpson's bar.
*“Fac’ is, fellers,” said Ore eyed
Jerry, the autocrat of the camp, as he
‘Fac’ is, it's a tough job, but it's got to
be done, an’ I'll do it, if it takes a leg.
Leave it to me, fellers, and I'll let ‘er
do vn as soothin’ as possible.” And with
a deep feeling of relief, that found ex
pression in another round of red liquor,
the miners left it to Jerry.
In due course of time a letter ad-
inine hand and postmarked Harrisburg,
Penusylvania, arrived in camp and was
opened by Lowry's self-appointed execu-
tors. It was from Mrs. Lowry, and from
it they learned thay she would not arrive
for several weeks,
One day, about six weeks after the re-
«ception of this letter, as the stage rat.
tied up to the single so-called hotel of
the little Tuolumne mining camp, the
loungers on the porch caught the glimpse
of a dress inside. At once all was
citement,
“She's come!”
“Where's Jerry?"
Jerry, who was seated at a table in
the barroom, reluctantly laid down
‘*pat hand” and reached the outside
time to assist the Indy from the stage,
awkwardly lifting his hat as he did so
“Mrs. Lowry, I reckon,” said Jerry,
she alighted.
The lady threw back the veil from her
face, smiled and answered :
“Yes. Where's my husband"
The crowd that had gathered inquisi-
tively, but respectfully, about the stage
fell back astounded; pot st the question,
but at the woman who asked it. Lowry
was fifty years old, if a day, at the time
he was so unceremoniously fired out of
«existence. He had never spoken much
about his wife, whom he had left in the
they exclaimed.
Aas
had formed the impression that his wife
must be a woman of forty or forty-five
and equally angular and unimpressive in
appearance. But here she was before
them, s woman of possibly thirty, plump
and shapely, with a face that was simp-
ly bewitching. She was absolutely
handsome and there was an expression in
her eye and mouth that seemed to indi-
cate that she knew it,
The smile disappeared and she looked
at Jerry somewhat anxiously, Why
isn’t Mr. Lowry here to meet me? she
asked,
There was a painful pause. The min-
wre looked at Jerry and Jerry looked at
his boots.
“Fac' is, ma'am,” he finally said, as
he slowly twirled his greasy hint with one
band, * Fac’ is, Jim's—a ailin’. Bin

exclamations of astonishment aud de-
light, pressed forward to the bar,
“ Fellers,” said Jerry, with the air of
one who had just discovered a rich
* pocket” of the yellow metal; “fellers,
here's to the widder!”
An hour later Mrs, Lowry accom:
panied Jerry to Jim's cabin, and on the
way up the trail be broke to her the sad
news of her husband's death. But in
what way be imparted the melancholy
information his companions never could
learn.
‘Fac’ is, fellers,” he had said in reply
to their questions, “it makes me creepy

rible; but I let 'er down easy as posser-

The next morning the widow, who
had sat down at the supper-table the
evening of her arrival in a gown of soft.

boarders captive, surprised every one by
appearing arrayed in a somber robe of
mourning, Her face was pale and sor

all who saw her,
All but one. Bradford, the *“‘gentle.
man gambler,” dark eyes and
long black mustache had dawned upon
the camp a few months before, wore a
scowl as he got up from the late break-
fast table. He had eaten slowly, if in-
deed he had eaten anything at all. The
miners had breakfiasted long

whose
they finished their meal and departed,
until only he and the widow remained.
As he passed her chair on his way out
he stopped and hurriedly whispered:
“Fool! what are you doing with that
dress on! Were you supposed to know
that you were a widow when you
started! And if not, how do you ex
pect to account for that dress between
last night and this morning?’ ‘Then,
with a suppressed oath, he strode angrily
out from the room.
The widow frightened. She
hastily arose and weut to her room.
The landlord, out on the porch, was
talking to Jerry, and dubiously shaking
{ his head. *‘Now, did she git

impressed Jerry most painfully
The latter slowly worked his jaws, ex

the time troubled and perplexed.
Gradually he became imbue 3 with the
idea that he had seen Mrs. Lowry before;
but where or when, he vainly cudgeled
his brain to remember. And so he went
about, doing her bidding, feeling amply
rewarded by the smiles she showered
upon him, her light, jesting talk, of
which he only was the recipient, and her
friendly, familiar ways, that were kept
for him alone, But with his compan-
ions he had become moody, taciturn,
even irritable. He neglected his claim,
and spent half his time knocking around

i And so, exactly one week from the day
of lier arrival, the bargain was conclud-
ed. The next day the papers were to be
prepared and the transfer duty made, and
the following day Mrs. Lowry was to
start on her retura trip East,
Jerry was in an ugly mood that even-
ing, and even his most intimate compan-
jons let him severely alone. For thres
hours he sat at a poker game, and durin
all that time he did not utter a word,
except to sullenly name his bets, call for
his cards and demand his drinks. He
drank heavily, and lost heavily as he
drank. In the subsequent expressive
language of the barkeeper, “Jerry played

The Queerest of Rallroads,
One of the queerest railroads on
this continent is the Salisbury and
Havey, in New Brunswick It is
but twenty miles long, and although
it connects with the Intercolonial
Road, an admirably constructed line,
it is confessedly unsafe. A printed
notice hung up in the cars cautions
passengers that it is well to get out
and walk on reaching a certain
bridge, and it was long the custom
to push the cars over this crazy
structure before the mighty engine
was trusted upon its rotten timbers

“German
Syrup’
Joocr J. B. Huy, of the Superior
| Court, Walker county, Georgia,
thinks enough of German Syrup to
send us voluntarily a strong letter
endorsing it. When men of rank
and education thus use and recom-
mend an article, what they say is
worth the attention of the public.
It is above suspicion. *‘I have used
your German Sars’ he says, “for
my Coughs and Colds on the Throat
and Lungs. I can recommend it for
them as a first-class medicine,” —
Take no substitute.
