WINGS.
Wings that flutter In sunny air;
Wings Hint divo and dip nnd dare;
Wings of the humming bird flashing by;
Wings of the lark in tho purple sky;
Wings of the englo aloft, aloof;
Wings of the pigeon upon the roof;
Wing of the storm bird swift and free
With wild winds swooping across tho sea—
Often and ofton a volco lu me sings—
O, for tho freedom, the freedom of wlngsl
O. to winnow the air with wings!
O. to float fur above hurtful things!
Things that weary und wear and frot—
Deep In the azuro to fly and forget
To touch In a moment the mountain's crest,
Or haste to the valley for home and rest;
To rock with the pine tree as wild birds may,
To follow the sailor a summer's day,
Over and over a voice in mo sings—
O. for the freedom, the freedom of wlngsl
Softly responsive a voice In me sings—
Thou hast the freedom, tho freedom of wings
Soon as the glass a second can count
Into the heavens thy heart may mount,
Hope may fly to the topmost peak,
Lono its nest In the vulo may seek;
Outspcedlng the sailor Faith's pinions may
Touch the ends of tho earth In a summer's day.
Softy responsive a voice in me sings—
Tbou hast tho freedom, the freedom of wings!

IN GOLD TIME.
BY ROBERTA LITTLE HALE.
He was straight, und grizzled, and
keen of eye. 11c had worked, and
fought, and gambled his way through
the lawlessness and passion of the
state's early life in to the decency and up
rightness of a successful contractor.
His name was Bill Ilowen.
As a civil engineer, I came more or
less in contact with him, and rejoiced
in the largeness of his mental mold, as
well as in the business sense of security
lie let me enjoy.
One summer's night we took a drive
to a distant town on the San Joaquin
river. \Yc were to look at stone for a
•ridge building, and the blistering heat
f the day made us willing to lose our
deep for the more comfortable travel
ng by starlight.
The horses jogged lazily through the
oarse, thick dust on "the river's levee,
nd the insects from the grain fields
nnd the frogs from the sloughs had
things wholly to themselves until Bill
suddenly interrupted:
"Mrs. Chase is pretty enough yet to
understand \v by she sent two fellows to
rfie devil, isn't she?"
"What are you talking about?" I an
i we red.
"Oh," said Bill, pulling himself up, "I
'orgot you didn't struggle with the rest
jf us through those groggy days."
1 knew Bill well enough to let him re-
lapse just so many minutes; then I said:
'Judge ( base's wife is lovelier at sixty
•ban most girls at sixteen, but I hadn't
•my idea she figured so romantically in
i lie early days as to send anybody over
board."
"Li'm," replied Bill, reflectively.
The horses traveled on without at
tention, and 1 waited in patience.
"You know what it was like," he be
gan at last. "Men with guns from all
over the union and gold the heaven we
sweated for. Prayers, and court, and
Die gambling tables all running under
meroof, and nary a woman's face show
ing up in the muss to give us courage. To
he sure, there were vixenish ribs o'
.Satan who robbed, and killed, and
drank with the worst of us; but until
'sl we'd never the woman for reverence.
Then, by degrees, the lawyers and a
stray merchant or two aired their
families, but things wasn't dizzy till
pretty Grace Hlanchurd got out with
her father.
"Understand, she carried herself as
she'd ought to; but, understand, there
was men among us as was born and
bred to live with blood. The mass of
us had to take out our satisfaction in
looking at her; but for two the favor
in old Hlanchard's eyes was easy read
ing, and it wasn't long seeing the
course the straw took.
"Ned Emory was a long, lean, blond
fellow, with a blamed line face and
away that made friends of tho
toughest. They said he looked
a swell when he called at tho
Hlanchard's, but I never saw him
but like the rest of us—red-shirted and
overalled, and an angle to his pistol
that made him a joy.
"George Stokes—'Shorty,' we called
him—was a man with an answer that
ripped like a knife and a head that
made success of everything, because it
could work crooked as well as straight,
He'd been 011 the bench, but he'd located
a vein nt Mariposa, and was overseeing
up there in *52. Naturally, he lost op
portunities, not being right on the spot,
and the danger began.
"The Hlanchurd house was swelled
larger than most of the cabins, and had
two long windows that opened onto a
porch. Things might never have been
so bad but for those two lidless eyes
in front.
"One futul nipht Shorty Stokes rode
Into the settlement—but I am getting
ahead of atVairs."
Hill tossed his cigar into the tules,
and hurried the horses into effort as
the interest of his reminiscence swept
him on.
"The girl carried herself after the
fashion of high steppers, and neither
fellow could swear where he stood. It
was laughter and spirit for both of
them, they said, and nip and tuck for
the yielding. The pace was the Rort
that exhausts men, and Shorty's brain
for lawyering cooked up a scheme for
his rescue. lie was for their going to
gether some night before her, and, after
a formal marriage proposal, each argue
his claim and fitness for ten minutes
by the clock, their honor at stake to
stand by her decision.
"It got about afterwards that Emory
wouldn't consent until he saw the
devil to pay in Shorty's earnestness,
and they swore with their fists in each
other's to carry the thing through to
the finish. The date and hour were
arranged for the following Sunday
night at eight, and they drank to it
with gall in the cup.
"When the evening came the clock
had already struck eight when Stokes
reached the Blanchard house.
"The lights from the room fell over
the porch, ami from the shadow of tho
steps he saw the something th.it iu all
tho world he couldn't bear to see—Em
ory crossing the room to take Grace
Blnnchard in his arms; Emory with
passion paling his face .and Grace
Blanchard in the beauty of a disturb
ing humility.
"He cursed as he watched them cling
to each other, and he cursed his way
back to the saloons and his Mariposa
mining.
"The next day he turned tip again in
the settlement, with liquor enough
aboard to put a wheel in his head, and,
after a losing tilng at the tables, he
started to find Emory.
"After a little ineffectual riding, he
leaped from the back of his vicious-eyed
piebald at the corner that bulged thick
est with saloons, and stood close to the
stirrup with his hand on his hip. Some
one who noticed him said his face had
the steely intensity of a razor edge.
"Then out of the crowd, unconscious,
with the music of love in his heart,
swung Ned Emory. His hat was pushed
back on his fair hair, and he was whist
ling the overflow out of his veins.
"In one instant a bullet rang through
the air, followed by another. Emory
fell in his own blood, and a horseman
was riding off wildly and safe through
the shower of bullets that rained nround
him. Every man with a cay use tore in
pursuit, but they only brought back
eight half-dead horses. Stokes had
staked relay boasts at different poinls
along the road, and was then safe in the
ehnpnrrnl canyons toward the north.
"The gambling dens choked up with
flic crowds; gold dust was heaped on
gold dust for the reward of the coward
ly hound's capture. Murders weren't
rare then, but there was only one Ned
Emory, remember.
"Four of us wouldn't drop the search.
We let the blood-money men get out of
the way, and then we worked as we'd
toil for only our own.
"There was scarcely no seent to fol
low, for Stokes had bribed the greasers
who furnished his horses; but we
forced our way along on nothing. Day
and night we rode with our eyes open,
sometimes bullying and sometimes beg
ging. It began to seem hopeless. The
days were running into summer again.
"One afternoon, toward twilight, we
rested on the crest of a mountain where
the path took a sudden turn nwny from
a two-hundred-foot precipice.
"We were torn with the snapping
branches of the greasewood, and full
of extremestdirt and disgust. Sudden
ly we heard the rustle of a step on the
fallen leaves. Under a live oak, not
thirty 3'nrds away, on the very edge of
the cliff, stood Shorty Stokes. He had
not heard us, and he stood looking at
the moon which hung a sickle in the hot
sky. The evening star was showing.
"The four of us were like stones. He
could have got to Guinea before, mo
tion'd have come to us. Then, simul
taneously with our steps forward, he
turned and looked into our faces.
"It was a moment to test the nerve
of any man. He stood it as we were
used to seeing him face all things.
" 'I suppose I'm the man you're after,'
he 6aid.
"Ife said it with the dignity of a
parson.
"In h second he had thrown down his
pistols. Ho unsheathed his knives and
dropped them to the ground.
" 'Take me,' he said.
"Four of us looked into the unflinch
ing clearness of his eye*. As we hesf
tated, he spoke again.
" 'Listen. It is not in excuse that T
speak, nor in weakening. It is to tell
you that those among you who are
men will follow my steps under like
circumstances.
" 'Emory gave me his hand and his
oath, in the manner of his frankness,
to stand by an arrnnged agreement.
"'We were to meet at eight o'clock
on that Sunday night. A—a beautifully
good woman was to decide on our ar
gument which man she would marry.
In riding to meet my engagement I
happened on an accident. Within half
a mile of the setllenient, close onto
time, my piebald went back on his
haunches and the groan of a man came
up from the roadside. I found an over
loaded miner, hurt in the leg, and the
hope in my own henrt aroused mj' sym
pathy. T mounted the man 011 my beast
and headed him back toward camp.
" 'Walk as I never walk, I reached
the meeting place three minutes late.
Ah—God—out in the darkness I saw
Emory taking advantage of 1 he delay.
" 'None of you is so much a cur as to j
let the life run in a man who, under his
honor, couldn't yield a rival three min
utes' grace.
" 'But, with the camp against me and
Emory the friend of the sorriest, I
couldn't face the music when the jus
tice was done.
" 'lt is not, mercy I ask. It is life
hereafter. Come.'
" 'With a common impulse we started
forward, only to halt in a frozen horror
as Stokes' broncho threw up his head
in alarm to watch with us the back
ward somersaulting of his master's
body over the precipico.
"Though there was but one verdict, j
even Chase said as we rode down over
the mountain that night: 'Emory
might have given Shorty a few minutes' ;
grace.' " —The Black Cat.
A Talking Machine.
The gramophone, a talking machine,
much simpler and cheaper than the I
phonograph, invented by Dr. Berliner, 1
the famous electrician, will soon be
put upon the market. Its records of
human speech and of music, it is said, j
are indestructible, and cau be cheaply
multiplied to an indefinite extent by 1
simple mechanical means. What it has
to say or sing can be heard all over an
ordinary sized house. So devoid of
complexity is its construction that the !
oompletc apparatus will cost only
eighteen dollars, and a smaller edi
tion, intended for the use of children,
will be sold for five dollara.— Chicago

I NO NEW TRIAL FOR DURRANT.
The Condemned Murderer Smiles
at the Judge's Remarks.
I San Francisco, Dec. 7.—Judge Mur
phy, in denying the motion yesterday
for a new trial for Durrant, said: "No
fair, conscientious and honest jury
i could have arrived at a different re
sult. In the justness of your convic
tion the court expresses its full and en
! tire concurrence. There are no cir
cumstances to mitigate the atrocity of
your crime; it stands almost without
parallel and without the semblance of
[ palliation." Judge Murphy then or
dered that Durrant be turned over to
the warden of San Quentin penitentiary
within ten days and to be kept in close
confinement until the day of his execu
tion, for which, however, no time was j
fixed. Durrant heard his fate without j
the twitch of a muscle. He stared at
the judge as defiently as though he |
was being arraigned on some trivial
charge of contempt of court. When it
was all over, he sat down, leaned over
to his father and smiled.
A SHAME TO THE NATION.
Matt hows 1 Report Regarding An
napolis Naval Academy.
Annapolis. Md., Dec. 7.—Commodore
Matthews has made a report to Secre
tary of the Navy Herbert upon his re
cent investigations of the condition of
the naval academy. The report states
that the academy is a shame to the
nation and a disgrace to the navy. The
educational departments are all right,
but the accommodations are most mis
erable. It is recommended that every
building now used by the cadets be
razed to the ground. Several of the
structures have been condemned as un
safe, unhealthy and ill-adapted for
their purposes. On the whole, the re
port sums up the academy as in a had
plight and demands the prompt atten
tion of congress. The plan proposed
for improvements contemplates the ex
penditure of about 80,000,000, but only
comparatively small amounts would be
required for each year.
LAXGEKMAN RELEASED.
New York's Recorder Probably An
i iolpated Action of Supreme Court.
New York. Dec. 7.—Recorder Ooff.
before whom W. L. S. Langerman was
convicted by a jury of criminal assault
upon Barbara Aub, and afterwards ac
quitted by the recorder on the confes
sion of Miss Aub that she had commit
ted perjury, and who after a scathing
arraignment of Langerman's past
record committed him to the the house
of detention under heavy bail to serve
as a witness against Miss Aub, late
yesterday afternoon released Langer
man. Langerman was before the su
preme court on habeas corpus proceed
ings at the time and would probably
have been released by that tribunal
had Goff not anticipated such action.
