The Little Christabel mine in Colorado long ago went through a process vulvar ly called 'petering ouL" It U now 1 mare hole in the ground. Tbe half doz en shanties and cabins near it have long ago fallen into J.sase. Their rooCj have fallen in, and it is years since the gulch in which their ruius are was tbe habita tion of men. The entire gtilch is desert ed now, end the Little ChrUlabel is only a memory to thoie) who ouce shared in the prosperity it brought to FairpUty dlch. A long narrow pile of decaying logs and parts of a clapboard roof mark the spr-t where the bearding house was. There are still living many of the men who once gathered around the long, rjugh pine table that tao the full length ofthecsbin. 0n of them told me the story of Mies MiIlicenL 11L3 Slillicent Hay was the only wo man evtr seen at tue Little Chnatabel wine. Wter. Ilarley Vance, the owner of the mine, advertised in a Denver paper for a co jk for hla boarding house, ilij Miili c -ut Hay answered the advertisement in p.-rsoa. .She came walking up the trail leiding t) the camp carrying a little IiaqI 6jt.;h- el aad a stout walking stick. ' I have been staying down in Camp Crystal," she slid to the surpri-w of Mr. Vance, who had advertised fjr a man cx-k, "and I thought the place would just salt me. The stage brought me to the month of the gulch an J I wa.ked the reet of the w ay. It isn't taon than six miles is itr 6he was a small but resolute looking woman, with keea gray eyes and a til iulii indicating great firmness of char. ter. Her thin brown hair was combed plainly back from a brow beginning to show signs of wrinkles, although she was bat 40 years old. iKiyoa think I couldn't do the work ? she asked. I am quite strong and I have known nothing but hard work all my life." She held oat her ungloved hands as the spoke. They were rough and wrink led, with bent fingers and caloused palms. toYou might do the work," sail Mr. Vance. There are only about fifteen boarders and we live in a plain, rough way. and there is a bey to help. But it wouldn't be a j leasant place for a lady to live. There are no woman in this gulch.' "I care nothing fur that," and Miss Millioent. Men are sometimes kinder than women," she added with a trace of bitterness in her voice. The end of it all was that Miilicent was irk tailed as cook in the boarding house. She hadvidently come deter mined to stay, for the stage roach tbat went rumbling through the gulch next day brought up little hair covered trunk with -M. H." on tbe end of it with bras beaded nails. Before a week the boarders began bles sing the good ang-l that sent them Miss Millioent. Such me lis as she served had never ben seen before at the Little Christabel ; and it was wonderful to see the change she brought about in the dir ty lit.le boarding house and its contents. Her energy and strength seemed unfail ing. She went stepping briskly about, the neatest and sprightliest ofhouse keeperssinging at her work nd smiliog at everybody. At the end of a fortnight every man in the camp knew Miss 5Iillicect and had felt tbe influence a god woman exerts in every community. Old hats and caps were -lolled to her wherever she went. Xo oaths or rough words were spoken in her presence, and the man who would have dared to offer her an indignity would have "rid on a rail,"asnjy informant said. For a year Miss Miilicent lived at the Little Christabel, and in that time she had won the sincere regard of every man ia the camp. There iad been a great amount of sickness among the men that winter, and some of them owed their Eves to Miss Mill icent's careful nursing, good food and general good sense in everything pertaining to the. care of the s'ek. Her own cheerfulness and good health never failed her. ' "I don't believe yon ever had a sorrow in your life, did you 7" asked one of the men one day. Miss Miilicent was standing in tbe cabin door at the time. The smile on ber face vanished as she made the reply ; she leaned her head wearily against the door frame ; her face paled for a moment and her lips quivered as she said alow- y: "Every heart knoweth its own bitter ness," then she turned and went to her own little room at the end of the cabin, and the man who had asked the ques tion said : ' Sjtr.e villain of a man is at the bottom of it all, 111 bet ; I'd like to help stretch bis neck!" It was no secret that one or two of tbe men in camp had been suitors for Miss Millicent's hand and it was known tbat she had received their proposals with burst of tears, and bad begged them, as they valued their happiness and hers, never to refer to the subject again. The camp bad been singularly free fom the brawls and lawlessness that both distinguish and disgrace most mountain mining camps. Mr. Vance would not allow a saloon within the lim its of his mine, and had made it obliga torf on the men that they refrain from many things common to tbe ordinary miner. ESTABLISHED 1837. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 25, 1893. The presence cf Miss Miilicent had much to do with tbe unusual good be havior of the men and the good name the Little Chr'.atabel wore as a mining camp. But one day there came a bit of news to the camp that enraged the men from good natured, easy going, jovial fellows to angry, determined men. There lived on a claim near the Little Christabel an honest, bard-working and thoroughly god man, very popular with aU who knew him, and unusually so with the men employed at the Little Christabel. For two years he bad worked bard in poverty aud deprivation, developing a claim that was generally believed to be worthless. But fortnne plays strange freaks in mining cam p?, and CapL Tom's unprom ising mine one day revealed t splendid vein of rich silver ore. Lie cauve down to the Little Christabs! jubilant over his good fortune. He returned home to find his cla-m "jumped by two or three men led by a fellow cf unsavory reputation known as Doc. Grigsou. Grigson and his confederates were in possession of Capt, Tom's two year's of labor, and cooly ordered him to "clear out" when ho appeared at the door of hisown cabin, the order being empha sized by threats of Tom's immediate an nihilation if he tarried long on the order of his going. I his mine jumping process is one I cannot give in detail here. Sui&je it ta say that possession is even more than nine-tenths of the law' w hen applied to unpatented unrecorded mining claims." There was nothing for Capt Toto to do, alone as he wa?, but to vacate the premi ses. This he did, going directly back to the Little ChrLitabel and baying his grievances before bis friends there. CapL Tom's story of bis wrong created intense excitement at (he Little ChritU bf I. A meeting w as at once held and a p'an of action decided upon. 2113 .-iiiiiceDt was sept in ignorance of this meeting. "Women don't want to be mixed up with such things lestwi-ie a women like tier, sat J one of the men. Soon after supper that evening the men began leaving tbe cabin on various pretenses, and in a short time Mias Miili cent was alone. This was an unusual proceeding on the part of the men, but Miss Miilicent was wholly unsuspicious of irs import. An hour later, while sittting before tbe fire mending a coat belonging to one of the men, Mibs Miilicent threw aside her work and said : "There ' if I haven't entirely forgotten to give Mr. Vance that lid of things I want from down in Crystal City, and he's going to start for there before breakfast in the morning, and breakfast at the stage oi&ce. I'll juit run down to the shaft-house and har I th list to Tom Dolan, and he can give it to Mr. Vance in the morning." Tom Dolan was tbe engineer at the Little Christabel. The shaIt-hou.e was but a short distance from the boarding bouse. Throwing a shawl over her head Miss Miilicent went out hurriedly, step ping lightly down the trail made in the deep snow. The night watcioudless and made wondrous fair by a full moon and thousands of shining stars. She reached the shaft-houe door. Tbe engineer and another m in, unaware of her approach, were talking. A name they spoke caused her to stop suddenly, w ith ber hand to her heart and a s range look in ber face. "I feel sure it is Silas Hoover," the engineer was saying. "H, change, his name 'bout ev'ry camp he goes to, and I reckon Doc. Grison suited hi n 'bout as well as any other name while he was here." "Well, be won't change it again very soon," said the other man with a short laugh. "The next time tbe roll "s called he'll answer up to bis' nune, I'm think ing." "Hoover may be bis real name," the engineer said. "He swore it was when I moved him two years go over toFara dise Gulch. But be was a scoundrel there and just got away with Lis neck. I knowed bim soon as I see him down in Crystal City one day last fall. But I never told anybody that bis name wasn't Grigson. Where did you say the boys intended fixing him ?" "Down the gulch here, 'bout two miles at that place where tbe big "bowlder ia that they call'Hanging Rock.' - rreckon' they'll make short work of him." "Oh, sure," said the engineer with a laugh, they,U bang him.ai he deserves, without hardly time for his prayers." The other man glanced carelessly at his watch and said : "And it's almost time they went at iL Ten o'clock was the. hour agree on, and it's after nine now.'" Neither of them heard the half sup pressed cry cf the woman standing just outside of the engine room door. Could they have seen her face in the moon light they would have seen it drawn and old and ghastly in its terror" and agony. Her limbs trembled under her, and her b!oodi-i lips moved in silent prayer. For a moment she stood so, and then, still .praying for courage and strength, she ran silently but with all speed down the trail leading from the camp and tow ard the gulch. The trail was rough, and she stumbled and fell again and again. She ran with ail speed wht-n she could do so, a"d the fear she might be too late caused her heart to almost stop its furi ous beating. She could see the Hanging Rock ahead of ber some moments before she reached it. Dark forms were moving around, going to and from the . mighty rock, and tbe pines a few yards from iL Tbe light of one or two lanterns flash ed in the dark depths of tbe forest. She heard the shouts of tbe men as they as sembled from all directions, fiendish shouts they seemed to ber. When near enough to make her voice beard it rang out in Ion I. sharp tones of entreaty and command : "Wait! wait! wait!" A moment later she stood in their midst, gasping for breath, white and ter rified. "It is I," she said; "Miss 5iniicent.n "Yes," said one of the men gravely, "bnt what do yon want here ? This ia no place for a woman." Her answer was : "Where is he that man 7" "What man?" aaid one of the men evasively. "Tbe man whose life yon were going to take here to-night ?" A groan from the edge of the pines came in reply to her ears. She ran tow ard the spot from whence the sound came the men seeking to detain ber. Among a little group of men there stood one, trembling an 1 ghastly, a rope around his neck and the end of it thrown over the branches of a tree. The man was moan ing and protesting piteously. Going does to him she said in a click ed and teirful voice : "Let him go." There was a murmur of disapproval and refusal among the men. "Come, cooie. Miss Miilicent, this is no place for you," said one of the men, "Let me help you oack to the camp." "Xo," she said, going close to tbe trembling culprit, and laying ber baud on her arm. lie grasp her hand and said hoarsely : "Save me, woman, whoever you are; save me, if you can." She took a lantern from the ground and held it up to her white face. She She threw the shawl from back of ber head, and said : "Dont you know me, Silas ?" He lifted his bowed head quickly. gave one glance at her face and covered bis own guilty face with his hands, cry ing out : "Milly ! Miilicent ." The men looked on in aaiazment, an acjry murmur of disapproval was heard whon the man spoke M:ss Mililceut'a name in tones that seemed endearing. She turned tow ard them and said slow ly and distinctly, with painful euort : "Let him go. He h my husband T There was dead silence for a momeut. Then the leader of the mob stepped soft ly into the moonlight and started in si lence down the gulch in the direction of the Little ChrUtabel. One by one tLe men followed l.im in Si.euce. In leu Minutes .Miilicent was alone with ber husband, lie turned tow ard her and said in a choked and broken voice : "MiIlicenL" "Well, Silas." She htl-1 out one hand toward bim. lie grasped it in both of his own and ft 11 on his knees before her with ber tremb ling band heid to his lips. An hour later they came forth from the shadows of the forest and walked down the trail in the moonlight and were no more in Fairplay Gulch. The outgoing stae took up a man wo man pa-ocng-rs next day, ten milea from Hanging Itock. rhey were mighty solr pA-sengprs," said the stage driver afterward. "Both of 'em looked as if they cried all night, and they bada't much to say ; but they seemed migully tuk up with each other. He called her 'Milly,' an she called him 'Silas.' I think they was bound for Denver, and expected to go farther on west from there." They were heard r.o more of at tbe Little Christabel, but years afterward Ilarley Vance while traveling in Cali fornia, came across a pretty little house hidden away on a ranch in a most beau tiful mountain vahev.

In these days, when popular maga- x nes and certain editors whose minds seem illy balanced are discussing the fal lacies of tbe public school system and pronouncing them fai!ure, it is refresh ing for them to remember that a man of Daniel Webster's gigantic intellect was a firm supporter of them and that he often remarked that "he congratulated him self on the fact that his first publicspeecb was male in behalf of the common schools." It is a pity tbat to-day so many deem it the proper thing to decry that institu tion which is most pre-eminently Amer ican, and on which the ultimate pros perity of the nation must rcsL Because some rogues attended tbe public schools in their early lives is no argument against the system.

Eradicate ignorance and you will a!.so era licate socialism, anarch ism, riots, incendiarism and all other menaces to the safety of a community. The number of educated men who da libtratciy resort to criminal ends for ob taining a livelihood is very small. It is so small that when one such is found he is he ld np as an example by all who wish to depreciate the value of the free sys tem of education as exemplified in Amer ica.

It was right smooth where we were, so we went ahead to see what it "I know," said Slrnn; "it was the fish jumping in the water and out of it. I have seen that often." Garrison looked somewhat abashed at having bis story forestalled, but pleased to bear it verified. "Well, that is just what it was, but what do yon suppose happened to us when we reached them ?" "Why," replied Ryersoa, "the boat bumped up againat these fish as if it had hit a stone, and you couldn't pull through them. That's what happened to me once." Garrison was balked, but he soon re covered his second wind, and this time rushed to the end of bis story without giving the others a chance to interrupt bim. "Ye.i,sir; them fish blocked the way so that we couldn't get through." "Wiil you swear to that ?" asked Ryer soa, raising bis right han 1.

Hayes died at 1 1 o'clock Tuesday aifcbt at kia home, Fremont, Ohio. Eearly in the evening aa inquiry ex cited the response that the General had passed a fairly well day aad was resting nicely in tbe evening. The change from better ta worse was rapid and at eleven o'clock the distinguished ex-president passed away. The first intelligence waa received when Webb C. Hayes came down town and quietly announced that his father had just died. Ex-President Hay ea waa taken home last Saturday suffering from aa attack of rheumatism of the heart, with which he had been attacked at Cleveland. It was the second attack of tbe kind be had received within two weeks, and although his condition wm regarded as somewhat serious and excit ed the alarm of bio family, the encour agement given them by Dr. Hilbert, tbe family physician, led them to believe that the patient would soon recover. For this reason all knowledge oftheex pretiileLt's illness wis kept from the public and the fact that be was suffering from heart trouble did not becoroo know a. While Dr. iliioert remained ul luuet constantly at the distinguished pa tient's bedside, no alarming synir.tou.s appeared until in the evening, when be became rapidly worse. Rutherford Birthard Hay es, nineteenth president of the United States, waa bora at Delaware, O, October 14, 1S. and graduated at Kenyon college in li- He was admitted to tbe bar at Marieta. O., in l.45, anl entered upou practice at Fremont and subsequently at Cincinalii. The civil war having broken out, he w?s in June, Ivil, made maj r cf a regiment of Ohio volunteers.

He waa re-elected for the following term, but resigned in 1ni7, having been elected governor cf Ohio, to which oitioe be was re elected : in ISiil and agsin in li". I Hia repeated success in Ohio induced j the Republican National Convention, in ; 171, tonoaKca'.e him for the presidency as a compromise cauui date between Mr. Blaine oa the one hand and Mr. Conk ling on the other. When the election took place it seemed certain that, of tho ' electoral votes, IS had been CA-tfor j Mr. TuJen, tbe democratic candidate, be lug one short of a majjnty ; Ii2 were equally sure fjr Mr. Hayes ; but there were thirteen electors, in respect to w hose election there were grave ques tions in dispute. Of tbese eight were from I.-uisiana, four from Florida and ( aa fV .m I rj.in fmin wbii-li Ststa there were two- sets of electors, each ' claim iag to have been duly chosen.
