Ooivs idle curiosity moved tbem. for Sione expected friends or letters as few fauic In those early days. Tbe stage 3 a ally swung into slu'bt, and stopp d lo u a rely iu front ot tbe Kind's House. A woman stcpiied down, and alahy f-lrl or perhaps & years was banded to tier t roui beneath the soft wrap pmtfsa pale, delicately-featured face was visible to the lounging miners. and a pair of great blue eyes looked Wistfully from one bearded face to another. "I don't see papa," she said, look ing round fur a second time. "No, dear, but we will find him ty-ai.d by, " replied tbe mother, as tne carried her tenderly Into the rough hotel. Can anyone tell me where my husband is.' I am Mrs. Williams. ill you please tell blm I am here?" tbe inquired, turaing to the men who had gathered at the door. "Yes'ui," said one. "I'll go and tell him," and he Immediately bur. rled down to the wash where a num ber of miners were working. 'Say, boys, here's a fine muddle Just aa that Williams goes an' steals horses and gits ready to swing fer it, here comes along his wife And baby Uk Id' fer blm. Who's goio" to tell her? I ain't" The miners stopped working and lathered close around the speaker. "cbe's a llttlo mite of a woman, and the baoy girl is sick or something, for she looks mighty pinched like." Th' ain't but one thing to do, as I can see," said Dan Bo ward, stick Ing his spade deep In the sand and resting bis bands on the top. "Jest you go back and tell her be has gone to another camp and we'll send a man after him. Look out that nono of tbe bos get to talking about the hangln' where she can hear them. And the rest of us will jump luto tbe saddle and take a run over there to Spring Ledge and bring him home. It'll take lively work if we get there In time." The messenger returned to tbe hotel and delivered the word, and ten minutes later a dozen miners, heavily armed, dashed away with their horses on the run for Spring Ledge. "What strikes my gizzard. Is her bavin' a sick baby along with her. I can stand anything but that. A woman can get along here some way or otner. But we can manage things all right; if we once lay bands on Williams there'l be no hangln'." Dick Williams had been popular among his fellow-miners In the little camp, and every man in the party stood ready to fight, if necessary. It was not spoken of, yet each one knew that if Williams was rescued it would mean business, and they were all pre pared. The horses ere getting well tired, and were urged forward by impatient bands, until a faint spiral of smoke showed they were nearing tbe Ledge. Tbe men leaned closer in their sad dles, and strained their eyes in an effort to catch the first signs of com motion iu the camp. They did not sia:keu i ace as they dashed up tbe roc'.y trail until they were iu t ho rn idst of the heterogeneous collection of domiciles which dlgnlrlcd the mountain -spur Into the uame of Spiing Ledge. '1 hey asked no questions, for at a glance they comprehended that their rid was of no avail. There was a small knot of men yet lingering un der a stunted pine tree. A dark form dangled in tbe shadows. They were too late. It was an easy thing to obtain ,xr iuissiou to take down the body, as it saved tbe cipeuse of burial by the Spring Ledge people, to, after rest ing th- ir horses, tbey carried it back with them to Bison, making a clr- u.-'i is route around the hotel, and I I : me body on the bed iu one of t.:li : !-VCS.

"L 'J you 11 ud my papa?" ques t'OTitd tne child, brightening up and holding out a white little band to wards the miner. Howard went over and took the outstretched haud in his own rough palm. "No, baby, I didn't And your papa," be said, feeling ill at ease as tbe w Mow's eager glance rested on nil Itce. Addressing himself to Mrs. Williams, he continued: "You ace, ma'am, when the man got to Spring Ledge he found Mr. Williams bad Just left, and nobody knew where he Lad gone." He was telling the truth, but it was rather a twisted sort of affair. "I felt so sure of finding- Mr. Will tarns here, or I shouldn't have start ed. Etta has not been well sines last winter, and I thought thai bringing her to the mountains might break up her cough. He surely left some word here before he went to Spring Ledge, did he not? I cannot quite understand what should have taken him to that place. Do yon think he will return soon?" asked Mia Williams, looking up with hei syes tilled with tears of disappoint iient "I couldn't say, ma'am. He might and he might not, These proapectin' trips lust a long while sometimes." There came to his mind tbe quiet ol the shauty, with tbo dead man lylnr within. "He will be back soon, I know. It ouldn't do for me to think anything else," she said' rising quickly and putting the little girl down In thi chair. She went out of the room, and as the door closed Howard thought he heard her break dowa weeping. "Did mamma cry?" asked the mild. "No, J guess not,"replled Howard, Irawing a chair to the window. Will you talk to me and tell m rour name'" jiy same is iioariotta UoIm SvVyo ; .ift irS rou love them very much, like in tapa does?" I No, 1 have no little girls or bow dt her." Howard's voice had a rlnf f sadness in It, which tbe chili julckly noticed. He was.tblnklng o the dead man again. 'Then I am sorry for you. and l'l ;Iss and love you until my own pap; mes " She climbed over Into the miner. ap and put her thin, white hand around bis neck. Putting up he tweet lips she klased tbe miner agali and again, until he turned bia bear (way to brush the fast falling tear rom bis cheeks. "What makes you cry?" she asked, .urnlng bla face around and boldlnf t between her hands. "Don't yoi arant me to love you?" "Yes, yes, I da 1 was sorry 'caus. rour fath.-r ain't coming to-night I am going home now." So be lilted her frjm bla knees am went out- Dao Howard spent the night at th ihaoty, and In the morning the bod; it lil k Williams was taken out ant burled In the shadow of a big roci not far from camp. Mrs. Williams seemed quite dli Heartened, but after a few days sh oka quite cheerfully of her bna band's return. Her time was partlj taken up by the little daughter, ant in odd momenta she devoted berael! lo bits of sewing, which Dan How ard brought for her to do for tht miners. He came often, untilaflrn friendship grew between him and tht frail child. Etta was very food o him and watched for his coming, fo as she grew stronger be took ber li bis arms and carried ber on abort ex surslons round tbe camp. One day she sat silent for a loci time, and then turned to tbe mine! and said: "Uncle Dan, what wouU you do If you was to die?" "I don't know, little one, 1 neve thought much of dyln'." "Well, I'd keam, and keam, anr and k-e-a-m!" (meaning scream.) Uuen abe stopped a minute ant added: "No, I wouldn't, 'cause you'i be In such a nice place." Her mother bad never told ber tha there waa a place called belL and she thought of death aa a surety a going to a beautiful heaven. On one ot these rambles be carried Etta with blm out to that lone gravi where her father lay, and told ber f man was burled there. No, "she cried, correcting blm "it's bis bed, and tbe people dldn'i make it nice for him. Mamma used to take me to see baby Tommy's littli bed, and it had pretty white no wen on it, and we carried more and cot ered It all over and made It all nice Then we ain't afraid to die and wakt up In heaven when we know thai our mamma will make tbe bed w sleep in so pretty and white. Wh; didn't the people make thla man'i bed nice for blm? Was be a bad man and they didn't love blm?" Not so very bad," answered How ard, pulling a dead branch fron across the mound. Then I'll put some flowers on it,' the said, gathering what flowers wen iear and laying them gently on thi neglected grave. She waa too weai to walk .much, and so tbe big-hearted miner brought ber the buncbea wbiW the knelt down and arranged them It was a beautiful picture thi ;hild by the neglected eleeplng-placi f tbe dead, with her sweet face soft ned by a sympathy as earnest as i woman's as she bent over her work. To Howard she seemed an angel, comforting others and not knowing ber own loss. When he had brought the last handful of mountain flowen Se lifted her on his lap and sat dowr, ly the grave, now coverei wlthgreei eaves and Mowers. Do you know that the man who li tsleeu here had a little girl Just about as big as you? Sometimes feel so sorry for her," sail Howard Itroking her soft hair and drawinf lor close In bis arms. 'So do I," she replied. After a pause she raised be eyes slowly from ;he grave and looked up in tbe fac jliove hers. "Ain't nice that 1 cam here and put the flowers on his bea" Maybe be will think It Is bis owi ittle glri." The simple manner In which It wai aid touched Howard's heart, and ,utting both bands to bis face hv ireke down completely. 4 What is tbe matter. Cncle Dan? ire you crying 'cause you are afraid o die and be asleep in the ground?" he asked, and having no answer she ried to comfort him. ' Pulling down lis bands abe looksd up earneatly, ind said, "If you was to go asleep I wouldn't let your bed he bad looking. I'd come and make It nice witb jretty flowers, because I love you Sow, don't cry any mora" Howard took her up tenderly and :arrled her back to ber mother. It was tbe last excursion they made to ether. Tbe cough became more pro nounced, and Etta grew weak very rapidly as tbe cold weather ap proached. At last ber mother sat by the bedside and saw tbe breath flut ter feebly from her sweet baby lips. Tell Uncle Dan I'm going W deep, and wake up " The little baud grew very atlll ana the mother wept alone. fctta hud awakened in Heaven. When Dan Howard came to the Hotel to ask about his baby frlend.be was led into the room where she lay.

They felt lonely, so whet John Belknap started out to find a hom for his orphan girl Mr. and Mrs. Sar rer at once offered to take her. 8h jad been christened Vola Belknap. "Because of her site." said Mrs. Bar 'er, "we always called her Dollle. Sb was about 5 years old when we got her ind she lived with us nearly eigh' ears." At school Dollle got acquainted wltt osle and Dottle Derringer, girls ot aearly her age and size, daughters ot poor parents with a large family. They were compelled to live away from hoiui is domestics, working for their board ind clothes. Tbey three became chum, ind in time got to speculating upon Dot ie's prospects of one day owning the Jarver farm. In fact. It was tbe talk imong them that Mr. Sarver had said her if she would be a good girl and ivork for them, when he and Mrs. Sar rer came to die she should hare al heir property. So. according to the story told by Dol ie. Joule Derringer conceived the Idee hat it would be a good thing for hei d make sure of the Inheritance by do ng something that would hasten tht ili people into having a will drawn up. 'Wha if they should die suddenly," he argued, "and without leaving a vlll. you have never been adopted anl vould be left without anything?"

The Dowager Empress of China haa had a romantic history. She was an extremely beautiful girl, the daughter of poor parents wbo lived in the sub urbs of Canton. When the family was starving, she, knowing her commercial value, persuaded her parents to sell her as a slave. She, fortunately, was pur chased by a renowned general, who, de lighted with her beauty, disposition and general cleverness, adopted and edu cated her as hia daughter. When later th General waa summoned to Pekln, he could think of no finer gift to offer hia sovereign than bla daughter. The Emperor found her so charming that be mad her his wife. When her hus band died In 1881, thi slave empress became regent, the present Emperor be ing then only T years old. She found China crippled by debt and torn by In ternal rebellions, yet five years ago. when she relinquished the governing power to her son, prosperity and peace telgned throughout tbe vast empire.
