It was while I was riding Messtnan &
Miller's pony express from Walla "Walla
te Millersburff, in th mines of Idaho, in
the summer of 1801, that I lirst was at
tracted by her wi itiugs iu the newspapers.
I wrote her aud had replies. Then wheu
I came down front the mountains and
embarked in journalism she wrete te me
and our letters grew ardent and full of
alToctien. Then I mounted my herse aud
rede luiudieds of miles through the val
leys and ever the mountains, till I came
te the sea at Pert Orford, then a iinurish
ing mining town, and there first saw
" Minnie Myitle." Tall, dark and striking
in every respect, this first Saxen woman I
had ever addressed had it all her own way
at ence. She kuew nothing at all of my
life, except that I was an expressman and
country editor. I knew nothing at all of
hers, but 1 ieuud her with her kind, oed
naients. surrounded bv brothers and nis-
- '-' -
ters, and the pet ami spene cuiui ei ine
mining and lumber camp. Iu her weedy
little world there by the sea she was
literally worshipped by the tough miners
aud lumbermen, aud the heart of the
blight and merry girl was brimming full
of romance, hope and happiness. I arrived
en Thursday. Ou Su'iday next we were
mariird ! Oh, te what else but ruin and
regret could such romantic felly lead ?
Procuring a herse for her, we set out at
ence te return te my pest far away ever
the mountains. These mountains were
then as new, aud ever will be, I reckon,
crossed only by a dim, broken trail, with
houses twenty and thirty miles apart for
the few travelers.
The first day out we came upon a great
band or elk. Towards eveutng I diew a
revolver and with wild delight we dashed
among the frightened beasts, and fellow
ing thorn quite a distance we lest our
way. Aud se we had te spend our Hist
night together, tiled, hungry, tli'usty,
sitting under the pines en a hillside-, hold
ing en te our impatient horses. We
leaehrd my home all light, however, at
length, after a week's ride, but. only te
find that my paper had been suppieu-cd
by the government, and we resolved te
seek our fortunes in San Francisce. Ihifc
we found neither fortune nor fiieuds in
the great new city, and re returning le
Oiegen I bought, a baud of cattle and we
ret out with enr baby and aputyef
friends and relatives te reach the new
mining camp, Canyon City, in Eastern
Oregon. In fact, I had gene bofeie te
.spy out the laud. We fought the Indians
and get miiue foothold and we selected
this location for our future home.
And what a ieururv was this of ours
ever the Oiegen Steuas, diiviugtlte bel
lowing cattle iu the narrow tiail through
the dense weeds, up the steep, snowy
mountains, de wu, through I he reaiing
caueus ! It was wild, glorious, fresh, full
of hazaid and adventure ! .Minnie had
made a willow basket aud swung it te her
saddle hoi u, with thu crewing and good geod goed
naturcd baby inside, looked up at her,
laughing, as she Icapud her horse ever the
fallen legs or undo a full hand with whip
aud lasso, slashing aftar the cattle. But
when we descended the weeded mountains
te the open plain ou the eastern side of the
Sierras the ludiaus weie ready te receive
us, and we almost literally had te fight our
way for the next week's journey, every
day and night Aud this woman was eua
of the truest souls that ever saw battle. I
thiuk she never, even in the hour of death,
knew what fear was. She was net only
a wonderful horse-wemau but very adroit
iu the use of arms. She was a much bet
U r shot, indeed, than myself. In our
first fittle skirmish en this occasion I had
taken position en a hill with a few men,
while the cattle aud pack animals were
eei railed by the ethers in a bight in the
foothills below te prevent a stampede.
Aud thus intrenched, we waited the attack
from the ludiaus, who held the further
point of the ridge en which I had stationed
mv men. Suddenly Minuie, babe in aims,
steed at my side and began te calmly discuss
the situation and te pass merry remarks
about the queer noises the bullets made as
they flattened en the nicks about us and
ghnccd evor our heads. I finally get her
te go down, or, rather, premiso J te go
down te camn for the better safety of the
baby. Bnt in a moment she was back.
She had hidden the laughing little baby
in the rocks, and new, gun in hand, kept
at my side till the brush was ever and the
Indians beaten off.
Here is one leaf from her journal, or
rather, I think, her recollections of the
journey, which she lef me along with her
ether papers when she died :
" Oue night of that jeurney l snail net
seen forget. Thore had been seme fight
ing ahead of ns and we knew the feo was
lurking in ambush. They made a kind of
fort of the freight and while we lay down
in the canon, baby and I, away up en the
high sharpe butte, Joaquin steed sentinel.
And I say this te night in his behalf aud
in his praise, that he did bravely and saved
his loved ones from peril that night. That
he steed en that dreary summit, a target
for the loe and no one but me te taice
uote of his valor steed till the morning
shone radiant, steed till the night was
passed. There was no world looting en
te praise his courage and echo it ever the
land; only the frozen stars in mystic
groups far away and the slender moon,
like a sword drawn te held him at bay."
Reaching the mines in safety I, as de
tailed iu a previous sketch, practised law,
mined, fought Indians aud indeed was the
busiest of men iu trying all means te get
en. I planted the first orchard in all that
land, pushed ahead as bard as I could and
tried te he punctual and steady and
thoughtful. Yet I was still bnt a lad in
years. I forget le mention that I was
meantime elected judge of the county aud
had begun te write the "Songs of the
Sierras." My life was a sober and severe
one. Fer without learning, I was trying
te administer the law ; without knowing
new. All was strange. What availed my
knowledge of woodcraft in the courts of
law? The mystery of making fire by the
friction of two sticks of weed, the secret
of finding water in the desert by the flight
of a bird, the cunning of foretelling the
force of the coming winter or the depth of
the show all these and the like were of
no use new.
If the shrewd and sharp lawyers who
bullied and beat me had come into my
elements I had beaten them. But I bad
chosen te enter theirs and must be equal
te the undertaking. Aud se it was I
worked and studied as never man worked
and studied before. Often I never left my
office till the gray dawn, after a day of
toil and a night of btudy. My health
gave way aud I was indeed old and
thoughtful. Well, all this you can see
did net suit the merry-hearted aud spoiled
child of the mines at all. Then she was
net se ambitious as I was ; then she had
net such a strange, wild life behind te
haunt her. She became the spoiled child
here that she had been at her father's and
naturally grew impatient at my porsistent
toil and study. But she was geed at all
the time ; geed aud honest and true in all
things aud in all ways ; understand that
distinctly. Aud let rae say here, once for
all, that no man or woman cau put a
finger en any stain iu this woman's whele
record of lire, se far as truth aud purity
pe. But she was net happy here. Itn-
patient of the dull monotony of the ex
hausted mining camp and longing for the
sea and the old home that almost ovor evor over
huugtho Kenndiug waters, she took her
two'childreu aud returned te her mother,
while I sold the little home we had built
and kept together, the new orchard aud
laues of roses we had planted togethor,
aud rcmaiued thore in the camp premising
te fellow her, yet (ull of ambition new te
be electcd te a place en the supreme bench
of the state, and I remained aud worked
en te that end ceaselessly.
She had been absent from me quite a
year when the convention was called aud
I went te Portland, seeking the nomina
tion for the place I desired. But the peer
impatient lady, impulsive always aud
am'rv that I should have kept se long
away, had forwarded papera from her
borne, hundreds of miles remote, te a
lawyer here, praying for a divorce. This
se put me te shame that I abandoned ray
plans and in rage and disappointment
formed a collusion with her lawyer te give
her a pretonse of that which she professed
te desire. Yet I kuew quite well that
this was euly a romantic aud foolish freak
that meant nothing. Hew often she has
written me thatshe did this only in order
te get me te ceme te her aud that she did
uet dream she could be divorced unless I
came te her when the action was brought.
Ner could she in fact. But a court was
in session, and her lawyer, who looked te
me, enlv for his fee. eutercd the case, and
iu about the time it takes te write it the
sham decree was announced te the world,
while I was sailing away for ether
lands.
Of eon ise the whele pitiful proceedings
was as nothing, but her lawyer, new dead,
get his fee And it was perhaps quite teu
years before she by chance met seme oue
who told her the truth. She had married,
but at ence left all and came te me here.
I had net hceu greatly fortunate at best.
A few thousand dollars I had thrown up
as a wall between myself and work, but I
had grown se impatient of this moderate
nnsilien in life and se I wanted te get a
great fortune and return te the West that
I deliberate! v .staked all in wall sireesam
of ceurse lest all. I, beaten and disceur
aged and broken in health, had retreated
te a garret and was then again preparing
te use my pen, when ene stormy night a
strange woman crept up my htairs aud
told me iu a wild whisper that my wife,
' Minuie Myrtle," was iu the city and
must see me. And hew helpless I was te
her or any one new. I had seen her
form but ence for nearly a dezen yeare.
And such years ! Let me net recite any of
thn horrors they held in this connection ;
and yet I heard from her all the time, aud
while fche wrete about rae and lectured
about me and did all that made my life se
miserable, she did net really mean my
ruin ; but thinking me strong and pros
perous aud happy hhe exhausted her wit
and sarcasm en me and laughed that she
might net weep. But in time she drove
menearly mad and I left, the country aud
proposed uever te return. My publishers.
Roberts Bres , of Botteu, had sent her $30
;i mouth as regularly as the mouths came
all the tuna. She was reejiving that sum
nud itjrlians as much mere d'uectly from
myself, as I could spare it, all the titne I
was in Europe, anil she received these
sums for years atter her raarriaga. But
the peer, spoiled child of Pert Orford
never get evor her childish love for waste
ful follies aud diess aud show aud travel,
and se was forever pinched aud iu debt.
And new having hastily passed ever all
thesu torrible years, we come te the closing
chapter of this singular life. I followed
the geed woman who came te me that
stormy uight iu silence till we came at
last te a little back room in tha top of a
house, with a bed in thu centre and a
doubtful lire struggling iu the grate. The
geed woman turned away and left us in
the room tegether The place was almost
dark. She did net give me her hand, but
steed befere me with ene hand heldiug en
the hed-pest, a long ttme silent.
" I have ceme te yen at last," she said,
after awhile.
' Yeu have come te drive me from the
country again."
" I have come te you te die !" she said.
And as she turned se that the light was
ou her face I saw that it was se. And
then we sat down aud had a long talk. It
was our last talk. I was net very kind.
Ged knows I am sorry new. She wanted
most of all te Bee her little girl, whom I
had taken from her and placed in the con
vent school iu Canada three years befere,
and it seemed te break her heart when 1
refused te send for her te ceme. By and
by, however, when I premised her that
she should surely bee her befere she died,
she became reconciled. She talked with
calm unconcern about her coming death,
reminded me of my premise and told me
she had brought me all her papers ;
some that we had written together
bofero I had learned te spell. There
was a valor, a sweetness, tee, and a dig
nity, a large charity iu all she said and did
new in the twilight of life that wen all
hearts te her entirely. My secrets she
kept -till the grave closed ever her. And
she never complained of anything or of
any one, but was patient, resigned and
perfectly fearless and tranquil te the end.
But the end was uet. te near after all.
When I went back te see her ene day she
had geno and left no word where she could
be found. Then I began te fear and
doubt her premiso ; the winter wero away
aud April came. Then they came te tell
me, from her, that she was dying and I
must keep my premise. And se I arranged
for her child te come and 1 went every
day te assure her that she was coming and
te take her some flowers and whatever
kind messages and encouragement I could.
Wearily the days went by till away np
in May, the month in which she was born.
Then the child came and the geed people,
the gentle, loving people who kept with
her and cared ler and loved and pmea ner
woman in her last days was very, very
happy. And se Minnie Myrtle died last
May here in New Yerk. When I went np
te leek en her dead lace a strange fancy
of hers she had had set all about the feet
of the bed, where she could see them, all
the flowers I had sent her, the withered
ones and all. There was quite half a
trunk full of papers which she had
brought and intrusted te me, some, of
them suggesting wonderful things, great
thoughts and geed and new ; for much
that she wrote and maybe this is net jnst
praise was better than any writing of
mine. But she lacked care and toil and
sustained thought. I bought a little bit
of ground in Evsrgreen cemetery, and
there the hand that writes this laid the
dear, tried lady te rest, forgiving and beg
ing Ged te be forgiven.
