the famous Inca gold fields, in the

has long been famous for its richness
in precious metals. The supply of
gold may run out some day, but there

Says the Washington Star: "A pe

It is plainly to the best interests of
the public as well as the corporations
that inebriety among the employes
should be reduced to the lowest pos
sible point, for intoxication leads di
rectly to carelessness and thence to

large fortunes in damages. To avoid

mere is, oi course, a broad rule
against intoxication in force. It was
at first thought that this would suf
fice, but frequent cases of drunken
ness proved that the ouly. way to
ensure a sober force was to draw a
dead line around all places where in
toxicants were dispensed. This order
has aroused the resentment of the as
sociated saloon keepers of the coast
cities and their leader is now on his
. way to Boston to protest to the finan
cial backers of the Santa Fe road and
to threaten a boycott if the order is
maintained. As . a plain business
proposition it is likely that the roads,
if boycotted, would more than make
up the loss of trafflo resulting from
this action in the form, of damages
saved, and also in the additional
trafflo attracted to roads known to em
ploy only sober men. Thus the road
puts a premim upon safety that has
never before been possible on a broad
soale. Some years ago one of the
lines running out of Chicago tried the
experiment of prohibiting the visiting
of saloons. The liquor men and the
brewers protested and finally boy
cotted the road. But the order was
enforced, the average of accidents was
steadily reduced and the road pros
pered "M never before. The saloon

A WAVERING CHOICE. ?
nr jbxbt
Alone inn large, comfoitably, but
somewhat sparsely, furnished room
sat a young and beautiful girl.
Somehow she and her surroundings
did not seem in accord. The carpet
on the (loor was somewhat worn ; the
paintings on the wall gave no evidence
of a master's touch ; the upholstery
was gaudy, rather than refined.
Hut the girl herself was attired in
the latest fashion. Her dress was at
once quiet anil elegant, and but that
she wore no hat, and leaned back the
little head heavily nn the cushions of
her chair, you would not readily have
imagined that this room and the one
adjoining made the ouly home Irene
Hutton and her widowed mother could
boast.
Nor would one suppose that on this
very morning, in the small, white
hands which lay in such seeming list
lessness in her lap, was the momen
tous scftlo which should decide the
question of her whole future.
It was the old, old question, after
all love versus money and nlteruate
ly it balanced with her thought. She
looked about the room, aud her lip
curled.
"Sentiment under these conditions!"
was her mental reflection. "And what
else could Harry offer mo? What
would his life aud mine become in the
ceaseless struggle to make both ends
meet? Have I not seen enough of
this wretched, genteel poverty? Poor
mother I All goes' that I may make a
creditable appearance before the
world; end now no wonder she thinks
it hard that, after the long struggle to
gain me a proper footing in tho matri
monial market, I look coldly upon the
first presentable bid. What mutters
it that the man is older thau my father
would have been? What matters it
that I can never love him? I should
wear diamonds; I should ride iu my
carriage. The dear mother would
once more be happy, aud only Harry
and I would be miserable. Hurry and
It Two paupers I What voice have
we in the world? None none!"
And then, with all a woman's incon
sistency, down went the scale in favor
of money, and down went the little
head iu the hands which figuratively
held it, in a great burst of sobs.
"You mean you've decided to give
me up, Ireno?"
No one could dream the speaker,
Henry Armstrong, could look so grave
or speak so sternly, as when, a few
hours later, standing in the same
room where Irene had fought her fight,
he thus addressed her.
His eyes, blue as heaven, seemed
fitted only for laughter ; his mouth,
though it was marked by no lines of
weakness, held wonderful sweetness
in its corners.
He was a man, young and handsome,
well calculated to win and hold a
woman's love; and yet the love of the
one woman in the world which was
precious to him was slipping from his
grasp.
'I can't help it, Harry," she an
swered, wearily. "I am selling my
selfyou and I both know that; but
it must be done, dear. I haven't a
cent in the world to bring you, and,
poor as I am, I love luxury, Harry;
and it would break my heart to see
you grow old and gray in trying . to
make the income, not enough for one,
answer the needs of two."
"But we are both young, Irene.
With the inoentive of your love I will
soon double my income. Besides,
one of these days I shall have plenty
you know that."
"Dead men's shoes, Harry, We
don't either of us want to count on
that, and there's no reason why your
Uncle Richard shouldn't outlive you.
Besides.he may change his mind about
making von his heir. It's very strange,
rich as he is, he won't allow you a
peuny now, aud as to the incentive of
my love, dear, it's ouly in romance
tkat it has the desired inoney-makiug
effect."
The girl's words were harder than
her heart; but her listener could not
look into its depths to discover the
bitter ache which lent them their
seeming coldness, and his own love
and misery made them the more diffi
cult to bear.
"It all comes to this, then that
you throw me over?" he said.
And somehow the question, quiet as
it was, held such repression of feeling
that Irene looked up, startled.
"Oh, Harry, don't be too hard on
me! Don't Uoubt that . my love was
true is yet though my heart is
breaking!"
''Your heart!" he echoed.
And then he laughed, but such
laughterl It was more painful than
any demonstration of grief.
"Do stones break" he went on,
"You have worn your mask well.
Until tonight I never dreamed what
lay beneath it. I wish you all joy in
your new life! I shall doubtless live
to congratulate myself that you tore
off the mask in time. You have given
me cure for my folly, though for the
moment it hurts. But the girl I
loved is dead. In you I do not recog
nize her. Therefore I can say to you,
not to her foodby."

Six years Inter, Harry Armstrong,
little changed in outward seeming,
paced up and down the deck of a
steamer, three days out from Liver
pool. The wenther had beeu stormy, and
the passengers for the most part had
been confined to their staterooms.
Only toduy a few of the ladies bad
ventured upon deck. One fit these
braver ones was seated at the extreme
end of the ship, and around her was
playing a little child a lovely boy,
four years of age.
"A young widow," thought Mr.
Armstrong, stealing a enrsory glance
at the slender figure draped in heavy
black.
A thick, blue veil quite concealed
her face, aud usually indifferent as hn
was to women, ho felt a strange curi
osity to seo her lift it.
When ho passed a second time he
extended his hand to the child.
"Would you like a walk, my little
man?" he asked.
The boy ran to him.
"May I tnko him, mudnm?" he in
quired, courteously lifting his hat; but
if he hoped to hear her voice he was
disappointed.
She bowed assent. He could not
know that underneath the veil great
tears were rolling down hor cheeks.
The child wns little more thnn a baby,
his hair hanging over his shoulders in
llaxen curls, but ull his prattlu was of
"mamma."
"Where is papa?" questioned Ann
strong. Up went tho littlo finger heaven
ward, whilo a solemn look stole over
tho baby-face.
"As I thought," reflected the man,
and ho felt a singular satisfaction iu
having his suspicion verified. "1 will
hear her voice nt least," he determined,
and he walked back to where she sat.
"Your little boy aud I have become
great friends," he said. "I am fond
of children, uud he has promised me
we shall have ninny walks togother."
"You are very kind," was the sim
ple answer.
But Armstrong, as he heard it, grew
deathly pale.
"Irene!" he said, as though the
nnmo burst involuntarily from his
lips.
She instantly threw bock her veil,
but all trace of tears had disappeared,
and ouly a smile was on hor lovely
lips as she extouded toward him her
hand.
"You won't refuse to shako hands
with me," she said, sweetly. "I rec
ognized you at once, Mr. Armstrong,
and I also recognized tbut.on the nar
row coufines of the ship, avoidance of
each other would be impossible.
Here, at least, we may be friends?"
Not for six years uot since the mo
ment he had left this woman's pres
ence had Harry Armstrong's heart
beat as madly as in this hour; but hor
composure helped his.
i He let his fingers close over hers
with no warmer pressure than in un
expectedly meeting any ohauee ac
quaintance; but the warmth had gone
from his tone, as he replied:
"Friends always.I trust. Six years
have changed you very little, Mrs. Ba
con." A red flush rose to her cheeks as he
spoke her name, and she answered
hurriedly, as though some embarrass
ment possessed her.
"So my rival is dead," mused Arm
strong, when he found himself again
alone. "And the old madness is upon
me. We both stand now on equal
ground at least. Does she know? I
wonder! Has she heard that one year
after the day she jilted me I came into
my fortune? Not a long waiting
would it have been for either of us.
Perhaps, as John Bacon's widow, she
will endeavor again to inveigle me
into believing her true. Ah, one les
son such as I have had lasts a man a
lifetime. And yet oh, Ood, why can
I not forget her? Before I knew who
she was the old attraction drew me
toward her.. After I leave this ship I
pray that we may never meet again."
Perhaps because Harry Armstrong
really was so earnest in this prayer he
concluded he must make the most of
the present. Perhaps it was the old
story of the candle aud the moth, but
certain it was that day after day found
him beside his old love.
They never spoke of the past. They
never resurrected the dead. Their
hands never met even in a "good
morning." Yet they laughed and
talked as though each did not feel the
mad heart-beats every instant they
were together.
It waa the last day out. Irene and
Harry were alone, the child playing
at their feet, when a lady approached
them, leaning on the arm of her maid,
pale and wau from recent illness.
"I oouoluded the air might do me
good," she said, languidly, as Irene
quickly arose and assisted ' her to a
chair, then turned and presented her
to Mr. Armstrong.
"You ere my little boy's friend."
ssld the stranger, extending her Land
graoefnlly. "He has talked so much
of you and Miss Hutton tolls me you
are an old friend of her own."
From one to the other Harry Arm
strong looked in blank surprise. '
He stammered some reply illy ac
cording with bis usual ease, then,
standing before Irene, he offered her
his arm.
"Will you tnke a turn on deck with
me, Miss Hutton?" he said, empha
sizing her name.
She rose instantly. They walked
to the other end of the ship, when he
paused and confronted her.
"Irene, now tell me what it all
means," he said.
"Only that I am Miss Hutton still.
I I saw your mistake and encour
aged it, hoping yon might never know
the truth. My mother died and I was
penniless. I am companion to the
lady to whom I just presented you
and governess to the little boy."
"Why did you not marry?"
"You have no right to question me."
"I assume the right, and, by the
heavens above, you shall answer me."
"I I could not. Oh, this is cruel,
Mr. Armstrong! Yet perhaps I de
serve that you should know the truth.
I could not perjure myself at (bid's
altar. Loving one man, I could not
swear to love and honor another. I
chose poverty, loneliness and my own
self-respect."
"And the man you loved you have
ceased to lovo him?"
She made no answer, but her head
bowed lower, and he could see the
great tears rolling silently down her
face.
"Suppose he could offer you today
little more than he offered you then,
Irene, what would your answer be?"
"Harry, Harry, don't mock nie,"
she cried. "You cannot know the
emptiness of my lifo or you would not
hold tint to mo the semblance of its
rich fullness. I deserve my fate.
Let me accept it."
"Only in accepting me, Irene. Ah,
my darling, it was your true self 1
loved, after nil. You strove to wear
the iimsk mid could not. Heaven has
indeed beeu kind to us, my love. I
came on this ship a lonely, desolate
man, though fortune has smiled upou
me, and I can oiler you, Irene, a home
worthy of you, Tho old days of toil
and struggle have ended; but after all
they were tho rich days, dear rich in
hope aud rich in love. I have been
poor ever since in all thnt makes life's
reul weulth until tonight. Irene,you
have loved me always?"
And over the wide ocean the winds
swept aud whispered answer. "Al

perfect peace. Saturday Night.

of cows in the charge of a couple of

charged directly at the enemy. The
cows were slow in making a passage
for the wheelwomen, who tried to
"shoo" them aside. One of the girls

every evening spin rapidly down the
Avenue de Bois, aud their owners re
pair to Armeuouville or one of the
other fashionable restaurants.
A type of dress much favored at
Armeuouville just now is the black
embroidered and beaded niousseline
de aoie. One of these becoming gowns
was worn there the other night by one
of our best known elegantes, with
transparent neck and sleeves, the
niousseline beiug just thick enongh,
with its design of roses and leaves, to
allow of the omission of a lining. The
embroidery is also introduced into

with narrow lace frills, each beaded

white satin, and black lace over white
transparents, are the height of style
in Paris. The gowns are finished
either with sashes of silk musliu car
ried twice around the waist, or of
soft, undressed silk in pale mauve,
pink, lettuce green or black.
A rnche-like arrangement of flowers
is a new feature in millinery. In a
large hat of fancy geranium straw, silk
poppies and buds are wreathed about
the crown over a drapery of geranium
red velvet and ribbon. The ribbon
and velvet are formed in standing
loops at the back, where poppies are
bunched against the up-turned brim.
A black straw facing relieves the
warmth and intensity of the red.
The picturesque 1830 style is re
called by a large white chip hat with
broad, drooping brim that overshad
ows the eyes in a captivating way.
Cream lace is applied full as a facing
to the brim, and lace ia frilled over
the brim and hangs in a loop low over
the hair. Yellow chiffon is twisted
softly around the high crown, and at,
the left side are disposed tour white)
erect plumes and one drooping plume.
