The tuau and woumu that piced
slowly eide hy t-ide up and down the
lon, dim hotel corridors might Luve
seetiit-d t- the thoughtlexs olierver a
typical pair (if lovers. In reality t-he
was seeking to H-rvert, and he to main
tain, the admiiii.-tnuiim uf the law.
She was acting the part that her sex is
supposed to have acted toward hi
from the days of Eve. With an
absolute single-minded uesx and loyalty
of purpose that went further to excul
pate her than the plea of ignorance
could have done, she was knowingly
and deliberately seeking to turn from
the way of justice the steps of her
companion. Artfully, in.-dnuatingiy,
s-he held before his eyes the rocy apple
of promise, a prize so alluring that the
man beside her felt his head swim and
his sene grow dazzled at the m-.-re ris
ing thought.
.She had bvgun with excessive subtle
ty, made wise by her great n-d. Oaly
the man Inside her wits cap IV of
granting her this Ikmq. To her wom
an's prtjudiced vision it was beyond
reason that he should remain uu mov
ed. If there was any power to aid her
in her glance, her smiles, her tears, if
need should be she was ready to make
ruthless use of them.
"Do you thiuk, Judge Tresham,'" fehe
said, "that the la- is always right?
l.ni't you believe I am Kure I do
that sometimes in enforcing the exact
letter of the la v oue may commit a
great injustice?' Sue paused, await
ing her unsuspecting adversary's next
move; she was too cautious to overstep
her mark.
"If you meau iu the matter of c:r
rumstautial evidencv, Miss Uouiface,"
said Roger Tresham, "I quite agree
with you." lie reddened a lit' le, for
any reference to the law was a pain he
would willing'- have spared her.
"X no," said the girl, blowly, "I I
wasn't thinking of that, I was think
ing that the law diesu't seem to have
any heart. It diesn't seem to take
oogn wince of mistortuue, of oh.
Judge Tresham " She broke of ith
a catch iu her breath dangerously near
to a sob.
Tresham was thrilled and warmed
by the intimacy of her appeal at the
same time that he was struck with hor
ror at his own impossible predicament.
"Judge Tresham" she had regained
her composure "will you let me spt?ak
of my pwr fathers trouble? You
know all abaut it, aud it will be such a
oomfurU Judge Tresham, is the law
really without pity?"
' God forgive me !" cried the man be
side her; "I I canuot listen; I canuot
help or comfort you. Miss Itmiface,
ir things had baen ot!i-ris-j I you
and I, perhaps; but now, as it is" "
He stopped helplessly and made a de
spairing gesture. Rut Joycj Boniface
met his troubled eyes with her owu
blue unabashed ones. .
"Even as things an1, Roger," she
murmured, "it may not be altogether
hopeless. There must lie mercy some
where, even in the law, aud surely in
the lawyers. Toiuk, Roger, ho- muoh
I should owe you if" .
Tresham had gone white to the lips;
his breath came in gasps. Ten minutes
a he would iudiguantly have repudi
ated the idea that she could stoop to
iull jencii him by so much a-j a feattier's
weight upon oue side or t he other, far
less to bribe him with the glittering
promise of what he most desired. Ac
customed to viewing tilings with the
nyesof a la-yer and a jurist, he had
0 nitted to take into account the nat
ural predudices, emotious aud failings
of poor, weak human nature. He
shrank before the thing he knew she
was about to utter.
"I not say it, Joyce," he cried; "do
not say it ?"
She had filtered a little at his look
of horror. "Have I said anything so
terrible, then?' she asked, almost
proudly. "Is it a crime to help one'
father?"
His'i," sa"dTr;sYiTi; "ye. Yoj
are a child; yoi cmn t kuaw what you
are doing Your father "
She drp.Til his am "My father
knows- nothing of this," she said,
haughtily. doubt he would be
angry if he knew that I had conde
scended to big for him. No doubt he
wiil be honorably acquitted without
your help." Then she sank iulo a
chair, laid her head agaiust her arm
aud quietly wept,
Treshan laid a gentle hand upon her
shoulder. "You must not think I don't
pity you," he said, sottly, "but, indeed
I too am to le pitied. I am in a terri
ble position. Wheu we came here some
few weeks ago, you with your unhappy
father, aud I his luckless judge, all
three of us suatt hing at the legal de
lays to rest in mind aud body; when
I met you, and saw ho lovely you
were, and kuew, as .od help me !
1 knew noon enough that your smile
or frown was the only bar at which I
trembled, why, I should have been
lirave for vou aud for uie, I should
have put b;the temptation for us both,
I should have fled before you."
H paused, but the girl give no sign;
an I he went on, brokenly: "I)you
think it is only you that sulTer? Di
you think it is nothing to me to see
y.-u like thl, and to feel that if honor
v.iv not a reality I could save you &i
readily as I can lift my hand? Yet,
living as we doiu a world and in a time
in which honor rules, I am as ulterly
powerless to help as if my hands were
ft-ttered."
Again h paused, and this time the
girl slowly lifted her eyes to his face;
then she usked, gently: "Are yu
powerless, Rog?r?"
The sw ift blood surg'sl through the
young judge's foce; a light dashed iu
Ins eyes. He made a tpih-k, involunta
ry gesture. Joyce IJouifaco saw and
understtiod.
"I know what you would say,"' she
cried, lifting her head proudly. "Like
father, like daughter, you think. "Well
you are right. I would save l.iiu if I
had to Hi) or cheat or steal." Her voice
shook helplessly. "Oh if you could t-ee
him as I do so broken, so changed
from his forinir self! A iwr, sick old
man, hounded by the law and Heaven
help me ! by the mau I love." .She
was still striving for her father with all
the strength she had, and yet now she
w ts not acting.
Tresham uttered a low cry, and los
ing all bis habitual self-restraint,
caught her to him
"Roger," she whispered, and it was
the voice of eternal woman temptiug
eternal iu-n "Roger, you will save
him. It Is so pitiful. What can a
wretched pair of girls, persons we have
never seen, matter to us? I know you
will be good to him."
In tiie shock of returning conscious
ness and conscience, produced by her
straugeAophistical plea, he could not
help a smile at the very womanishness
of it all. It was a very wan s uile,
though, and then he put her from him.
"What a feudal princess you would
have made!" be said, with grim hu
mor. "You wouldn't have recommend
ed cake in default of bread; you'd
have asked what p:nr folk, inrsons
you didu't know, had to be in the
world for.'
lie knew it to 1 very far from a
laughing matter, and yet the air of ag
grieved surprise with which she regard
ed him gave him some ado to keep his
countenance. As ti.e same time he
knew her to lea sweet, true woman.
He knew that she would be at much
pains to relieve any di-ttress that came
withiu the rtngeof her vision. Bit
the case of her father's unfortunate
victims that was barred out from her
contact, hidden by a cloud as deue as
prejudice c mid make it, utterly swept
away by the current of her daughterly
love. It was without meaning to her,
something distant, vag'.i, with which
she had not to do. Hi-r mind w sin
eessantly busied with the picture f
her w retched father, victimized, mir
tyriil, as he seemed to her. Tiitreis
inherent iu women handed down to
them, perhaps, as a legacy from a time
when they di 1 not thiuk or act for
themselves a strong triiial bias. From
m-n it has tveii to a certain extent
eliminated bv advancing civiliz ttiui;
iu women it exists to day, a living w it-n-sof
the narrow col lines that ouce
held them.
Joyce R miface sjKike now w ilh the
fervor of despair. She had risked her
highest stakes, and she could not afford
tolose. Sue silenced Tresham with a
gesture, and broke out passionately.
"You pretend to be above tempta
tion, to be superior to egotism; and yi u
look down ou pjople that have bluo
dcred as if they were a lower order of
creatures. Oh, you need'nt deny it;
it's quite trfle. Aud a'.l the time ycu
are hard aud cruel and unjust yes,
unjust, too. Supp'we I were the crim
inal; just suppose it were I whom y u
had to condemn would you be so high
and contained and self-righteous? Of
c ure not. You are like all the rest.
You can see a man sutfor, no matter
how old and sick and miserable he is;
it is nolhiug to you. Bat a woman,
you say, is diiF-reut, most of all a U ly.
Answer me, H ger Tresham; if I were
a criminal would you not fiud s-uue
way of acq iitting me, som-? way of
settling it with your coii-cienc- ?''
"O I h-j'.p uu!" uiu-tcd ber lover;
"would honor carry me through such
an ordeal as that
He did not speak aloud, but the wom
an read in his eyes the first sigu of wa
vering. She pressed her point, not iu
words, for she had ustd her final argu
ment, but by ri.-ing and standing before
him, her hands lifted to his shoulders,
her faca sq i.arely confronting his.
He spoke after a moment, slowly and
cilmlv:
"Gxl alone knows if I should pas
triumphantly through such a trial as
that, my darling. Eveu lis it i-, so
strong is your hold upon me that, were
there uobdy else coi;et-ri:ed, I b-lit-ve
I should ba induceil to show more mer
cy thm justice allows."
He had forgotten her now; he was
answering the arraignment of his con
science. "It has never been with me as
with mauy of the young men that I
studied among, l'rom the first I felt
drawn to my calliug by a pow-r too
strong for words. Later I received from
my fellows a holy office, the duties of
which I shall fulfill as well as iu me
lies. Even for the sake of the woman
I love I could not be led into an act of
foul injustice, into a decision that would
deprive two helpless girls of their right
ful inheritance."
She had dropped her bands to her
sids, and stood 1 lokiug at hiui strange
ly. He did not heed her.
Tnere ars some old words ringing
in my ears, the words of that old song
of Lovelace's. You kuow w hat I mean:
I could not love thee, dear, ho liiueh.
Loved I not honor more.' "
He stammered a little with the reluc
tance of a modern to haudle sentiment.
"I bad hoped that, for the sake of the
strong love I bore you, we might, jer
haps in some future day"
"Never!" she interrupted, nereely.
"Whatever may be your decision, I
would have you to remember that if I
could have yielded to you iu this, my
love would not have been worth the
having." He took a sudden step for
ward. "Joyoe, w ill you help me iu my
choice of the only right way, even if
this is to b the cud b.tweeu us?
But she shrank back and bid herfa-e
from bim. In spite of her he drew her
to him aud kissed her lightly on the
forehead. Then he turned stealthily
atfay.
J.nre Bmifaee raised her head and
lo lted af:er hiui, madi as if she wju d
have called him back, then turned in
stead ami sank into a chair.
Half an hour later, R ger Tresham,
walking dtj. ctediy to and fro on the
d.st.ned terrace, felt two slim hands
thrust around his net k from behind,
atid heard a woman's voice say bro
kenly: "Don't loik at me, Roger; lit me
stay like this. Rjt I had to tell you
that you're right, nnd I know it. Oh,
I feel like a traitor; but it won't move
you nothing will move you; and I
wanted to say I'm proud of you, liogtr.
I shall feel bitter again to -morrow, nnd
think hard things of you; but just this
once I wanted you to know that I stood
upon your level and saw the right as
you see it, just as(! od intended I should
do when he put this love into our hearts.
If things had tnen dillVrent, Roger
But as it is luver! So, dear, this is
g'KMj -by;. but you will r iiu-inlier, won't
you, that I rose for one moment and
stood In-fore you. N. Y. Independent.

"It was pretty small, and he could
afford to lie in tetter business," com
plained the man who bad liecu taken
in.
"I stopped at a cigar store on my
way diwu town the other d.-iy, aud
J.mes and a number of others hapjK-n-ed
to lie there.
"Jones had oae of those metal lubes
for holding dimes. You know how
they work? You have to insert fifty
dimes before you cau get it open. It is
nil old idea, but Jones was showing it
as something new.
"'Greatest scheme you ever saw,'
said he; 'In ats a savings bank for saving
money. Once you have slipped a dime
inside it is imps-ible to get it until you
have fifty of them.'
"The one that be had contained t wen-ty-thne
dimes, and seeing a cham-e to
have a little fun with Jones, I told him
that I did not U live any such thing.
"Then Jones riled up and said that
he would give me the t-ontt ills if I s;ic
e vded iu getting tht m out w ithout
breaking the tube.
"That was what I wanted. I got the
cigir dealer to change a couple of dol
lars into dimes. Then I slipped them
one by one into the metal tul until it
was full.
"I expected tos.-e Jones w ilt and cry
for quarter. But he didn't. He ou'y
grinned an idiotic siiiik' and watched
me try- to get the thing open.
"But it didn't apR-ar to lie iu work
ing order. I worked at it for thirty
minutes and then I hud to give it up.
'"See here, said I, as Jones put it io
his pocket with il 70 of my money in
ir, 'how is it opened ."
" 'Oil,' said he, 'ymi lay it ou a block

Abjut Black Bears.
A never-ending iliM-.K-.iou aunng
hunters and wo i-ls-n -u'iu th mouu
tiins concern the character tha black
bear exhibits within the tavernous
confines of the bear hou-ehold. Some
authorities say that the bear is a mean,
selfish fellow, and has uo care for its
mite or thought of its offspring, and
that the moment it b:'cm.-s a father
that moment it ip.ii's the fvuiiy domi
cile, leaving all tip-re to shift for them-s-Ives.
A lare number, and, it r:ii',
more accurate authorities, contend that
the bear is libeled by tiiese d jtra.-tor-,
and that Bruin is realh very helpful
to Mine. Bruin in the first Avecks of her

Hj.uters who have watched from
Ciiic-ealtd spts a;ii through ti.-lJ-g'a-s'.ts
the doings iu a d.-n of bears,
siy they have observed mauy aets of
c ;isi l.-ratiou and kindness iu the
home circle rendered hy Father Bi-uiu.
He is not only a good provider in a
time of need, but is also a jolly, com1
p iiiional le fellow with the cubs. He
will play for hours with them, rolling
ab ut on the mountain side or among
th chaparal. He seems to iuiite lib
erties from the little fellows, for they
romp over his body, climb ou his
broad back, sera mble between his leg
ani often scratc h and bite him, so that
it must take about all the old man's
good nature to endure their pranks.
Many she bears in their anxiety to
save their cubs have b- en stentopkk
them up in their forepaws and trudge
clumsily along. The sfg:i-ity of Mack
bears is very often shown in their mai
tier of seeking food. A ranchman in
the fxithills o the Sin B rnardino
Mountains, a few years ago, foiiod that
a little pig lis.tj peartil iihout cviry;
week from his pigpens. The prints of
bear's paws told what was carrying
away the little porkers, but the jx-n
was surrounded by a paling so strong
and high that the ranchman could not
imagine how any beast ever got in
there.
An a'l-night watch showed him that
a b'.ack bear came that way, climbed a
liveoak tree that grew near, otd walk
iug out ou a branch that ;rew over the
pigpen, dropped to ground, snatched a
terrified pig, and making for the gate,
which could be opened from the inside
only, made oirto the family dm, miles
away up in the canyon.

Poor Youn Vanderbilt
The "Revue d. s Revues" provides hi
the .current h ue an article on Xew

the subject we assume to be entirely
exact. And yet, how many things
have occurred aud are occurring lure
of w l.ieh we never dreamed. Alfred ;
Vanderbilt is, it appears, "nothing less
than the eldest son of the king of Am
erican railways." It appears, too, that
lie married "one of the most adorable
beauties of the world of the Four Hun
dred." It appears, further, that his
father resolutely oppos:d the match,
and that his father-in-law, "not to le
behindhand iu pride, completely aban
doned the youiig couple." Here the
plot thickens, siiys "Collier's Weekly."
According t,o the "Revue," il fallait
manger it was neoi-ss-jry to eat. Let
us continue to translate. ''A! 'nil Yan

that the sou of a millionaire can be a

Never did he let escape a plaint. Never

fruit. When the obi Vanderbilt per

A woman w ho had Uen a victim of

She went to her telephone and, trust

she asked to te connected by the ever

When the connection had Uen made
she Ugan lo r plaintive query without
any prefatory "Is that you, doctor?"
"I want very much to go to a little

rapidly, "and tlo you thiuk it would

Large w omuls should be smoothed over

In a general way, summer pruning
promotes fruitfulness, while, if wood
growth is desired, prune iu w inter. The
exp'anation of this is that greut growth

gether. A plant mui, reach a certain
degree of maturity Wfore it will pro
duce fruit and an abundance of plant
food at the time the buds are forming
is desirable for the l-est- results. Now
if, by summer pruning, part of the
branch is removed, the growth is check
ed, and a the part removed !eseus the
demand for plant food, it can Ik? devot
ed t the production t.f fruit buds. If
the tree is allowed to go into winter
quarters undisturlied at the end of the
season, the roots and tops are in a sort
of equilibrium, or balance each other.
Now if tluring the dormant period a
considerable part of the top is cutoff,

The LI'Laugilia Tenors.
1 One of the l-ading papers of New
York printed a story a few days ago,
were uuvetled for 1-71 for the t ilitica
tiii of the numerous 'teudcrfeel' who
were thronging into the Colorado silver
district.
"In thosi days stories of frontier ad
venture were in great demand, and the
m ted desperadoes of the region were
used as central figures in huudreds of
purely imaginative yarns spun by en
thusiastic reporters. The only trouble
aliout it was that the desperadoes them
selves would occasionally kick, so it oe
cured to a well known scribbler named
Bd!y Taylor to manufacture aompleof
red bad men about whom he could
romance w ith si-.fety. Accordingly he
created the McLaughlin brothers, and,
just as he expected, tbey were taken up
by the p8-rs for aud wide, and their
exploits soon U-came tte talk of the
went. Taylor presently acquired a
w ide reputation for nerve by the fear
less manner iu w hich he 'roasted' these
dangerous men, particularly the young
er brother, -Silas McLaughlin, who
butchered nine cowboys at Santa l'e
because oue of them stepjved on his foot.
'Bed-handed miscreant,' 'dastardly as
siissin' and 'rr-pe-riperufiTin' were some
of the iet iiaii.t s he applied to him, in
spite of the warnings of admiring
friends.
Eventually the brothers U-came so
flruily s.ab!isSed in the public mind
that :i:'V dou'-t as to their neMi-ilitv
would have U'l-u scouted, and to this I

A Pious Slot Kachina.
A w ell-know n Union Pacific employe
leaned up r gainst the radiator and told
tiie following, says the Omaha "World
Htrald." "P. .-fore the slot machines weretr
di red nut there wore a number of
jwk-pe.t machines aliout town which
paid from 10 Cents tos-1 when they paid
anything. Oue of the-e machines
stiod iu a saloon in Douglas street and
bad swallowed mauy a nickel without
giving up atiythi-ig in return.
"One afternoon a salvation army girl
entered the saloon with a bundle of
'War CryV under her arm and tackled
the men at the bar to purchase copies.
Tiie men were. liberal, and she sold a
number 'if papers. As she started to
leave the sain..'.!, her eyes fell upon the
machine, and then s.;id :
' I'll just play one nickel in here for
the Lord."
"She dropped the nickel in the slot,
pulled the lever and watched the
wheels go round. When the wheel
stopped a shower of nickels drc-ped
into the pau and spread out upon the
tl s.r. The girl stooped down and rak
ed in the shining harvest, and after
carefully countiug the coins deposited
them in her p cket and sauntered out.
"She played one lonesome nickel

only time th? machine paid more than
a quarter."
