The platitci himself toi k two chances, where upon his three companion each took one more Then three men in the crowd 'doubled up. 'Two more chances, gentleman.' Clay whispered apart to tho Judge, and then made his way to tho table, and threw down two gold eadua. 'What name V 'fiive it to the woman.' 'Kb ! the gal herself V 'All right. One chance for Ninette.' 'efore the planter could call agaiu.Judge I'nderwood had placed twenty dollars upou the table, saying as he did so 'This is for the boy.' 'Good !' cried the owner of the property. 'Here's a chance for Tommy. And that takes tho lot, here's the clerk V 'Here.' 'Have you got blauks for this sort of busi ness?' .. Ves.' ' j 'Then won't you fill up a bill of sale of these two Ninette and Tommy aud leave a place to put iu the name of the win ner ? Now for the dice, gentleman.' The dice were brought on, and the shak ing couimenud. There were three dice, aud each player was entitled to three throws. Of the first tea throws, thirty-six was the highest uuniber cast, CTe eleventh ' throw I again till the twenty-first throw, when . one of the gamesters threw out forty-nine. The crowd was dow all excitement. For ty-nine was a hard point to heat. The low. est number that could be thrown was cine and tho highest (nine sixes) was fifty-four, muting what is called an average throw, about thirty-one nnd one-half. Of a hundred throws, the majority will fall below thirty t(V0. Again the dice rattled in the box as tho second gamester took his turn ; but his throw was a low one. The twenty-eighth throw be longed to the 'clerk of tho boat, who had now returned with the bill of sale. He threw forty-five tying the gamester. 'Come, Ninette! It's your turn !' The woman started and quivered, and pre-sed her hand over her heart. Only tho groaning and puffing of the engine broke the stillness of the place. 'Will the gentleman who paid for the chance throw for run V she said, in a low, musical tone, earnest and emploring, and of purest aceant, 'Let your boy throw for you,' returned Mr. Clay, who shrank from the ordeal. 'His luck should bo better than mine.' Tommy came forward and took tho box. His mother's hands clasped, and her lips moved in prayer. The boy trembled like an aspin. What a world of weal or woo hung upon tho fickle chauee ! He held in haud the sealed book in which was writen the fato of his mother and self, nnd it was to be open ed upou the hazard of a die ! lie .shook the bos, and turned the dice upon the table.

That was not an assembly of ruligiously inclined persons by any means ; but, the fer vent petition of the J udge met with a warm .and impulsive responses of 'Amen,' l'rcm nearly all prescut. Again the boy came forward and lifled thu box. His lips were tightly shut, and the old quivering of ihe limbs was hushed. The on ly sound in that saloon above the deep breathing of spectators, v:is the clicking of the ivory cubes- Presently the first throw was mada. 'Five five six, are sixteen ! announced the platiter setting down the figures. The dice was gathered up, and thrown again. 'Six six aud a five. That's seventeen. The boy Was as pale as death ns he took the box fur the first throw, and his mother lcanpd against a stanchion lor support. At length and the book was opened ! "Three sixes !

' t The Most desirable reception this warm weather aro cool reception?, ' " Our heroine lived iu Bartlett, New Hampshire, and was adescendent of the old Crawfords. Her father was a Crawford, and followed tho profession of a guide among the mountains. Her name was l?essief and she was the only daughter re maining at homo a dark-eyed, brown haired girl of slight frame, just enteriug her nineteenth year. Her mother had been dead several years, and upon her de volved the whole caro of tho household. One day late in the bummer, Mr. Claw ford went, with a partv of travelers, away to tho headwaters of one of the many moun tain streams that empty into the Saco, find Eessio was left alone. Even the do.'s bad gone with the pleasure seekers. Near the middle of the afternoon, while the irirl was sitting by an open window in the f'rout room, engaged in sewing, a man came up the road and asked her if she would give him a drink of water. Eessie had seen this man before, and had not liked his looks. He was a stout, broad-shouldered, ill-favored fellow, aud bits of moss and the spikes of the pines upon his clothes indi cated that he had slept in the woods. Lut Bessie did not hesitate, She laid aside her work and went to get tho water. When she came back the man had entered the room. She did not like this, for she was sure he bad como in by the window : but she handed hi:n the tin dinner without remark. The man drank and then set tho dipper down upon tho table. Then he turned upon tho girl, and drew a brotid bladcd knife from his pocket. 'Look ye, my young lady,' said he, 'I know there's money in this house ; and 1 know that you aro alone. Show me wh"re the money is! If you don't I shall kill you, nnd then hunc it up myself. I'm in earnest, oud there ain't no time to wasto. Don't male a fuss for if do you'll feel this knife quick!' Bessie shrank back, and looked tho man in the face, and she could see that he meant just what he had said. 'If 1 show you where tho money is, will you promise not to do me harm ?' 'Show me, honest, and I won't harm yon.' 'Then come with me. But you will take only tiie money you won't tako my father's papers.' 'Only the money, girl.' Bessie led tho way to a small bedroom on the ground floor, where there was an old mahogany bureau, tho upper drawer of which she unlocked. The man, when he faw this, thinking, doubtless, that Craw ford's gold was within his grasp, shut up his knife and put it into his pocket. The girl opened the drawer, and quick ns thought, drew forth a large navy revolver one with which she herself had killed a trapped bear and cocked it. 'Villain,' she exclaimed, planting her back against tho wall, and aiming the weapon at his bosom, '"many a wild beast have I shot with this good pistol' and I'll shoot you if you do not instantly leave this house! I will L'ivc VOU not even n samm,!' Start or I fire !' Tho ruffiau could read human looks as Well as could tho maiden, and he could read very plainly in the firm-set lips flashing eyes but more clearly in the steady hand which held the pistol that she would not only fire, as she had prom ised, but her aim would be a sure and fa tal one. And ho backed out of the bed-rrom then jumped from the open window and disappeared. Bessie kept her pistol by her side until her father and her guests came homo j and when she had told her story, bearch was made for the ruffian. But he was not fouud. Our herone had so thoroughly frightened him that he never came that way again. CLIPPINGS. What may he supposed to Lave been Eve's reply when Adam asked her for kiss ? "I don't care A-dani." . .

A nice little boy in Pittsburg went to a circus th i other day and amused himself by thrjwing stones at tho elephant while ho was drinking. When he got through the boy tried to propitiate him by offering hira a piece of gingerbread.
