He was plainly a cunning man,
and was playing with me as a cat

and loud of the wonders of Reno, of ,
its growth, its glories, its brilliant

" Why, maim," said he, "four months

So he stayed. I can , never forgot,
nor can I deplot• the , horrors of that
night: He sat after supper chatting
with rascally ~nonchalance of all
sorts of improbable things which
"Me and Hank" had done when they
camped togother in Brandy Canon iu
1859, just as though myr i refined and
precious husband ever knew this
rough creature before me, or had
shared in the ,adventures which he
now spun out in his wild talk of-days
of '5O at Hog Bar and Brandy Can
on. He took \up one of my fragile
hyacinths blooming in the window,
(the wind blows so we cannot raise
flowers out doors, in Jenkins street)
and .nursing itF with his plastered
lips, said : " Noy', that's party ; we ,

attentively, his big eyes, growing
bigger and dancing
,with fun as I
went on, finally he burst out with—
" Why, that's Bob Patchett from Re

In vain I told him of the way be

the building with ht tread,and what
dreadful stories ho told about ,the
doings of "Me and Hank" those wild
days of old. .He protested that Bob
Patchen`was one ef the best fellows
in the world,and hei was sorry that he
missed him at the Oakland boat. In
fact, he said, I believe, the 'gentle
man from' Reno. was "a gentleman,
every inch of hira---rough to be sure,
and as uncouth es any man gets

band of mine roared until I thought
he and, the wind together would

furtive preparations to:carry goblet

He drove off down town to bunt
op "honest Bob Patchen," who went
back to Reno that very night, and r
never saw Min again. y

lowed me mind the mouth of that
horrible cianmey ; then; no doubt
thinking I -hed fallen over,he gave
up the search, and began trying to
get on to his'feet. What a . mld I now
do to save his life t To tench him was
certain death to myself as well as
himfor he would inevitably seize me,
and we should both - go over , together.
To let hhir Stand np was to witness
hit equally certain destruction.
I thought of poor Mary, - and I re

He drenched down and held on-with
clenched teeth shivering and shaking.
In after days, he told me that be

"Bit still," I repeated from time to
time, watching with aching ere and

minute seemed to be an hoar. -My
lips grew dry, my tongue literally
devote my mouth, and the perspira
tion, running down blinded me. At

began to gather in the yard, and peo
ple were running in from distant
lanes, and a sea of faces were turned
upward ; then some one who had got
a speaking trumpet shouted, "Keep
heart boys, we'll save you I" A few
minutes more and the kite began to
rise ; higher and higher it comes, on
and on. Mow I - watched the white
winged messenger, comparing it in
my heart to' an angel ; and surely,as
an angel was• it permitted to come to
us poor sinners hanging on the verge
of eternity. Up, it came, nearer and

"Black rope crossed the chimney, and
