CADDY'S ROMANCE. liV KVELV.N THOHPK. A soft gray evening was closing down over a low gray landscape. A hurrying, scud ling mats of tumultuous leaden clouds tilled the sky. A high wind, moist, salty and mild, careened through them, and spent itself in tho sudden pining sweeps below. The sparse blades of coarse grass, and tho stunted pine trees, which alone drew a reluctant sus tenance from the sandy soil bent to it, leaning toward the land. There was a wonderful gamut of ethereal grays, of evanescent silvci-tlnshcd whites; sudden vanishing shafts of light, delicious sub dued "effects" without end, on the long nn-icli of desolate beach, on the low, restrained sea, in the agitated Autumn skv. Coiirtlnnd Scott was in delight. He said so, "Well, cf it suits you," said Mrs. I'arkhuist, as one who finds the ways of mortals more and more pnsl understand ing. "1 suppose you'll be wnntin' some tea, won t you';" she continued, risking the proposition dubiously. "Cad'll come and knock on your door when I've got the table set nut." This "('ad'' had already apparently performed several ollices carried up Scott's varnished sachel and painting traps to his apartment, etc. Scott con cluded thnt Mrs. I'arkhurst had a son. lie wondered in a casual way whether his name was Cadmus. He felt that a son of Mrs. Parkhurst's was capable of bearing any sort of unforeseen appellation. lie had put up a prayer that this gray sullen aspect of laud and sen might hold aday or two, and the next morning he found his supplication had met with favor. He repaired to the beach with easel, paint box and brushes. He was immensely enthusiastic. He began to wash in a stictcli of coast and sea with much spirit. Ho had a good deal of talent. Vet these painting bouts were onlv rcerc ition with him. He was an eugincrby profession. lie hail been working and whistling beneath his short gold beard a little while when n slow step on the sand came, from behind him. Ho looked up and saw a liiilt-grcwn girl. She had now stopped motionless before him. She was habited in a short skirt of dingy calico, and a white cotton undergarment was bursting through at the elbows and the ; abbreviated waist Hue of htr still green bodice. This young jtcrsou's hair was of I no delinito color, neither were her eyesor cyeshrows. bho had a Jew freckles across her nose. One thick braid hung down her bnck. "iltod morning,"snid Scott, pleasant ly. A rapid survej had inclined him to the belief that this juvenile native was probably so little advanced iu her teens that an approach of this sort would not be taken amiss. It met with no re sponse. "Do you paint them things all the time?" rcott had begun to think she was a deaf-mule, when she opened her mouth and p aimed a linger at the cmvas. "Always," Ho elevated his eye brows. His new acquaintace promised entertainment. "Alas, no I Have you ever," his tone assumed suspiciously def erential accents, "happened to meet many of thekuightsof the palette and brush, mar uhem !" He had been going to su' "marchioness." Ho felt very much like Dick Swivellor himsi If. "It may have struck you, if you have, that they are a somewhat impecunious gentry. I cannot afford to class myself with them as a perpetuity. Unfortunately, I can only paint in my moments of golden leisure." He had leaned forward in a friendly way. Whether she had caught the laughter behind tho gravity in his eyes or not, she slowly turned on her Heel. "Aie you comiu' home to dinner?" sho inouired. nausinrr. "To dinuerf Oh! Are you do you livo tit -Mrs. Parkhurst's? Excuse me, but what is your name, may I ask?" "llrmeugaid," was the dignified re- ' ply- !

Then you are Cadt" Miss Ermengard I'arkhurst was ob viously constitutionally chary of words. She took no not ire of the explanation. But her eyes had reverted to the canvas. "I liko that," she said abruptly. "Let me paint you in!" cried Seott. She ignored In in lurch lie turned and walked awav. Krnlt threw himself bark and luuuhed. "l!v Jove, ( ad's a character!

They ain't decent.'" Scott had finished his dinner. He wns going out with a Btriilo on his face when Caddy shot by him in the passage way. It occurred to him that Mrs. Parkhurst's remarks had probably met other ears beside his own. No doubt was left in his mind wdicn, the following morning, Caddy appeared in a long dress. The change certainly made her laok a year or two older. And in the fresh light thrown on her person ality by this fact Scott decided that she was really not inch an ill-looking girl ; that she had, indeed, some good points. He reverted to the idea of sketching her against some effective background. But his purpose did not provo easy to carry out. '1 here was no doubt Caddy wns a somewhat singular young peisan. Mrs. Parkhurst said ns much. "She ain't never been like folks," was her comment on her offspring. And Courtland Scott, though his ideas of bciti" "like folks'' were probably not quite identical wnu those of his worthy landlady, was fain to agree with her. Ilavinir concluded that he could not quite make Caddy out, it caused him no surprise when she enmo strolling down the beach with a detached air, while he was at work, and, seating herself on the sand a little behind him, alternately watched the natural picture before them and the canvas on which that picture was being reproduced in a silence never broken on her side. It occurred to him thnt she might be an Angelica Hauffmnn or a Hosa Boiihcur in the bud with an untutored love of art struggling in her heart; but he gave up that supposition, as it had nothing substantial to Test upon. He observed that she often watched himself, and his clothes, and his other belongings, with just the same worldlcss, enigmatic absorption. She took cues here and there. She was neat er about her npearance than formerly. He gave her a few books, and he learned afterwards that she had sat up half the night reading them. She asked for more; but she evidently had no desire to talk about them. Finding all his elTorts to draw her into conversation fruitless, Scott used to forget her presence and go on cheerfullv with his work, scowlinir at it and whistling snatches of comic operas under his beard by turns, until, after an hour or so, he would be reminded of her existence by seeing her get up, and, al- ways silently, wander back toward the house. ' A weird young specimen," he would lwh ' The cold weather held off well, but wh..n it came it reminded Scott that his little vacation was at an end. He had really en joyed it. "I'm sorry to be leaving you, Mi. Parkhurst." "Coin', be ye ?" " Yes to-morrow." When the morrow came he called Cad dy aside. He had been revolving some thing in his mind, and he had decided that ho could oder her a little present. Ho quite liked this strange little girl. Some books he knew she would en joy, and she could cultivate her mind (which was, however, an unknown quantity to him and apparently to every ono else) with them during tho long Winter even ings. He reserved to himself the privi lege of puttiug litt'e substantial finery iu the box also, as such th ngs were never known to come amiss to her sex. "(jbod-bye, Caddy," he said, kindly taking her hand. "Take care of your self. I am going to send you a little box to remember me by when I get back to town. You won't mind, will you?" For it came upon him anew that Miss Ermengard Parkhurst was an uncertain young person. He liad instant confirmation of the fact. She Hung his hand oil. "Keep your presents," she said, hoa sely. "I don t want thcml" "But seo here, Caddy, won't you say arcod-bve:" he cried after her. He had one glimpse of her face as she turned it over her shoulder, it was white and drawn and her eyes had a wild look. "The deucel I really believe the child's sorry to have me go!" muttered! Scott, and thought no more about it. j When ho got back to town ho found ; in his room a letter waiting for him which I decided his winter for him.

He thought it wns the train. But no. Some men were running along the track. He heard something about "signals." He called out to one of the dark figures. But tho man hurried on without answer- Scott went back to tho waiting-room. He saw a group of blanched faces. Luke Pea body was crying. "Dreadful smash-up at the bridge: What was I a-sayin'? Who's with us to go up there?" He was out of the door before lie hnd finished tho words. They followed nn eager, breathless crowd, gathering in volume as it ran men hastening to succor their fellow beings from tlie horrors of a disaster whose possibilities were too horrible to con template; idle boys, one or two courage ous women. A few carried lanterns. Scott never had a perfectly distinct idea of whnt followed. There was an un utterably ghastly, confused memory of groans, of the agonizstl faces of the dead and dying; of a mass of wreckage strew ing the bank; of burning cars. He worked tirelessly. He had extricated a woman whoso limlis seemol hopelessly injured from an overturned car, when he fell a irrin on his shoulder. Luke Pea- body wns at his elbow with a face whiter than it had ever been in his life, or ever would be BL'nm. "There's a mighty oucer looking girl down there se. she knows you. (-he seen your face. I dragged her out from under some rubbish. She s goin' fast. Quick!" Scott had already cleared the few steps down the bank. A woman, the wife of one of the workmen w ho had come with them, was bending over another. A lantern stood on the wet eartn. XjIiko Peabody stooped : "I'm afraid she's gone for good this time," he whispered. Scott had pushed him asido. For a second he simply stared, then "Caddy," ho cried, recognition and remembrance coming back. It was Caddy. His voice seemed to call her back from the very brink of the dark waters. She opened her eyes. The miF-ts were com ing over them. The queer white face was more solemn than ever with tho i great cninge upon h. j "I was coram' to see you." He hnd i to bend his head to hers to catch the sound of the words. "1 couldn't bear it when you went away. I tried but I 'couldn't. I ran away from home.

The eyes closed, i 1 hat was all. Scott, kneeling there, laid the childish 1 fiiruro back on tho dank ground. ' His conscience was clear. Neither by ! word nor by look had he fostered the straiiLO littlo creature s wild romance, Yet he bent over her lifeless form with an awestruck face. New Tirk Mercury, Delightful Barhadoes.

This was early in the TO's, when speculation was rife and the discovery of bonanzas an every day event. Among the employes of Bulston in the Pyramid mines was one George Arnold, a man of meagre educa tion, but bright and ambitious. In his shanty on the witle mountain side and over his bacon and beans he was ever dreaming of some plan that would bring Dame Fortune at h.s waiting feet and shower upon him her princely favors. He saw men making fortunes by a single cast of the die aud losing them by a Biugle throw. While yet dreaming his dream of wealth there came to him the bright-colored story of the great diamond discoveries of Cape Colony. His teeming brain at once de vised a 8 -lieme which, in his way, equaled Low's South Sea Bubble. Ho had grown unscrupulous in his desiie and hail t ome to believe that, with him at least, the end justified the means. The soil around the Pyramid district was rich in color and had character enough to inaugurate any mining scheme, however wild and impracticable. So with a comrade, Jim Hngg rty, with whom he had long associated, Arnold made long tours ocr the surrounding country. After a few weeks of this kind of work he resigned his place in the mines wilh the given intention of seek ing the fairer fields of Mexico. lie next turned up iu San Francisco in the fall of is; 1. Ho immediately found Ualston and astonished even that bold operator by le.ealing that he had dis covered in Arizona rich diamond fields quite as extensive ns those of Cape Colo ly. 1 rom the gripsack he had brought wilh him he poured forth a wondrous display of rough diamonds which had been washed Irotn the yield ing soil of the new liud. They were many and apparently of value. Ua'ston, ever ready for a venture, espe cially one which promised such daz.lmg results, entered at once into a proposed exploration of the new diamond fields. He introduced Arnold to several leading capitalists w ho at once became enthusi astic! over the new (iolcond.i. With the rapid action peculiar to Californians, the clique who hail been led into the secret immediately determined to visit the mines and if found to be all right to pur chase Arnold's claims nnd titles for the modest but snug sum of $l,00U,OU0. Arnold reluctantly accepted the offer. Iu due course of time tho party of cap italists interested left San Francisco for the pro ni ed land. At Camp llalston, the headquarters of the Pyramid mining speculation, the eager capitalists were met by Arnold anil llaggerty, the latter being introduced us a sort of sido part ner, like the silent mariner of the Ad miral of H. M. 8. Pinafore. The two worthies were to conduct Ralston and his associates to the diamond fields. The party was led by a route as zigzag as a snake fence and as rough a . a corduroy road. Part of the way was along the ( Ila river to where the Hio Pricto empties into it. At this point tho eyes of the jaded capital istic visitors were carefully blindfolded and thi ir animals were led by th 'ir guides for some dist ince further. When they wcro permitted to see daylight again they were in the midst of a clump of trees 'w hich stood on the river's bank. They were given shovels and picks and told to dig anywhere about the clump of trees. Each of the visitors did so and each iu turn brought forth one or more of the precious stones they sought for. : They were every heie, a d the million aire "miners wiped the clinging soil from off their hands softly, as though it was a j sacred deposit. On their return to San Francisco the capita isis w ished to form a company. Iu ten days it was accomplished. Arnold was paid Ids $1,1)0 ',0HU aud made super intendent ul the new mines. He at once made kuown the location of the tl amoiid fields and they were visited by several stockholders in the company. Diamonds were found by each ami all of them, and all went merry as a marriage bell until ! Arnold skipped for tho East. It was I lieu thought best to call an ex pert, and Piotcssor hing.the well-known geologist, was selected. He first discov ered that the ground around the clump of trees ou the bank of the Bio Pricto had been cleverly ' salted" wilh refuse diamonds, such as may be cheaply bought iu the marts at Amsterdam. It was also found that the diamonds found by the capitalists had been "tried" at Amsterdam, ami, as Professor King said: While diamonds may exist in Arizona, it is hardly to be expected that natine will produce them partly cut or pol ished.'' The members of the new diamond company were both thundeistriick and indignant, and steps were quickly taken to bring Arnold to justice. He was at his home in his naiivo Kcntu. ky, and the machinery of the law was brought to bear upon him there. He w as arrested, ! but was never taken out of the blue grass I country for punishment. In some mau- j ncr lie secured ins release ami cnicrcu I upon a life of wild en ;oymcnt.

In reply to tho question : "What are used ou tho ( hincse canals in place of locks?" which recently nppeareu in .ew York Ob . the liev. J. F;'Mg,sy of ilergen Point, N. J., writes: "Many of tho canals in China are to constructed along level ground that no locks are needed, but in others where inequalities must be met in some way, tho old fa miliar principle of the inclined plane i made to furn sh a solution. The boat is not. floated tin. but dracsrcd up. It. is not done on a very largo scale, boyr e.er. as the boats are not c .uaiT-'i sin tonnage; and, furthermore, the 'plane' is not an ingenious iiicco of mechanical engineering like those on the Morris Caual, Now . erscy, but a very primitive sort of 'mud slide".' On the Morris Canal each boat is drawn into a crib, standing in thu water, aud then tho whole, boat, crib aud all, is diawn ou a railway up the plane, and let down gently into the w ater of the second level. But in China no rails are used, and tho boat is simply dragged up on a wet surface, the enor mous friction of the bottom being some what reduced by lciting a littlo water ti ickle dowu the planc.so making a slimy surface. This is better than nothing, yet 'posit vt-m as a working system' has it serious drawbacks."
