"1. ouglitn’t to hev intruded, nosey,
he said, “when you and the gentleman
were talkiii’ of contracts, mebbce; but
den’t mind me. I’m on ilie fly, anyhow,
Roscy dear, hevin' to see a man round
the corner.”
But cveuthe attitude of withdrawing
did not prevent the exit of Ilctisliawto
his apartment and of Roscy to the galley.
Left alone in the cabin, Abner Nott felt
in the knots and tangles of his board for
a reason. Glanciug down at his prodig-
ious boots, which, covered with mud ruid
gravel, strongly emphasized his agricul-
tural origin, and gave him a general ap-
pearance of standing on his own broad
acres, he was struck with an idea. “It’s
them boots,” he whispered in ‘:"::r-lf,
softly: “they somehow don't rut.“ l"
to trump or follow suit in 1' ;
‘ihey don‘t hitch into :zrrytl.3:r' ‘ r'
slush round loose. and. so in-
it alone. And them young critters net’-
rally feels it and gets out o’ the way.”
Acting upon this instinct with his usual
precipitate caution, he at once proceeded
to the nearest second hand shop, and,
purchasing a pair of enormous carpet
slippers, originally the property of a
gouty sea captain, reappeared with a.
strong suggestion of newly upholstering
the cabin. The improvement, however,
was fraught with a portentous circum-
stance. Mr. Nott’s footsteps, which
usually announced his approach all over
the ship, became stealthy and inaudible.
Meantime Miss Rosey had taken advan-
tage of the absence of her father to visit
her patient. To avoid attracting atten-
tion she did not take a light, but gropcd
her way to the lower deck and rapped
softly at the door. It was instantly
opened by do Ferrieres. He had appar-
ently appreciated the few changes she had
already made in the room, and had him-
self cleared away the pallet front which
he had risen to make two low seats
against the wall. Two bits of candle
placed on the floor illuminated the beams
.bove, the dressing gown was artistically
draped over the solitary chair, and a pile
of cushions formed another seat. \Vith
elaborate courtesy he handed Miss Rosey
to the chair. He looked pale and weak,
though the gravity of the attack had evi-
dently passed. Yet he persisted in re-
iimining standing. “If I sit,” he ex-
plained with a. gesture, “I shall again dis-
grace myself by sleeping in 'inademoiscllc’s
presence. Yes! I shall sleep—I shall

rid hesitatingly that; she was glad he
.' . hotter, and that she hoped he liked
the broth.
“It. was manna from heaven, madenioi~
sollc. See, I have taken it all—every pre-
cious drop. \Vhat else could I have done
for mademoiselle’s kindness?”
He showed her the empty bowl. A swift
conviction came upon her that; the man
had been suffering from want of food
' he thought restored her self possession
even while it brought the tears to her
eyes. “I wish you would let me speak to
father—or some one,” she said impulsive-
ly, and stopped. ,
A quick and half insane gleam of terror
and suspicion lit up his deep eyes. “For
what, mademoiselle? For an accident—-
that is nothing—absolutely nothing, for I
am strong and Well now—see!” he said
tremblingly. “Or fora. whim—for a folly
you may say, that they will misunder-
stand. No, mademoiselle is good, is wise.
She will say to herself, ‘I understand, my
friend Monsieur dc Ferrieres for the mo-
ment has a secret. He would seem poor,
he would take the role of artisan, he
would shut himself up in these walls——
perhaps I may guess why, but it is his
secret. I think of it no more.’” He
caught her hand in his with a gesture that
he would have made one of gallantry, but
that in its tremulous intensity became :1
pi tcous supplicat-ion.
“I have said nothing, and will say
nothing, if you wish it,” said Rosey
hastily; “but others may find out how
you live here. This is not fit work for
you. You seem to be 21—11. gentleman.
You ought to be a. lawyer, or a doctor, or
in a batik,” she continued timidly, with a
vague enumeration of the prevailing de-
grees of local gentility.
Hc dropped her hand. “Ali! does not
mademoiselle comprehend that it is be-
cause I am a gentleman that there is
nothing between it and this? Look!” he
continued almost fiercely. “‘Vhat if I
told you it is the lawyer, it is the doctor,
it is the banker that brings me, a gentle-
man, to this, eh? Ah, baht “’hat do I
say? This is honest, what I do! .But the
lawyer, the banker, the doctor, what are
they?” I-Ie shrugged his shoulders, and
pacing the 'apartment with a furtive
glance at the half anxious, half frightened
girl, suddenly stopped, dragged a small
portmanteau from behind the heap of
bales and opened it. “Look, madcmoi-
selle,” he said, tremulously lifting Chand-
ful 0f worn and soiled letters and papers.
“Look~—these are the tools of your banker,
your lawyer, your doctor. \Vith this the
banker will make you poor, the lawyer
will prove you a thief, 'the doctor will
wear you are crazy, eh? What shall you
call the work of a gentleman—this”—-he
dragged the pile of cushions forward—“or
this?”
To the young girl’s observant eyes'some
of the papers appeared to be of a. legal or
. official character, and others like bills of
hiding, with which she was familiar.
Their half theatrical exhibition reminded
her of some play she had seen; they might
be the clew to some story, or the mere
worthless hoax-dings of a diseased fancy.
Whatever they were, de Ferrieres did not
npparentlyyare to explain further; in-
deed, the next moment his manner
changed to his old absurd extra 'agancc.
“But this is stupid for mademoiscllc to
hear. What shall we speak of? Ah!
what should we speak of- in made-
moisellc‘s presence?”
“But are not these papers valuable?”
asked Rosey, partly to draw her host’s
thoughts back to their former channel.
“Perhaps.” He paused and regarded
the young girl fixedly. “Does mademoi-
sellc think so?”
“i don’t- know,” said Rosey.
should I?” .
“Ah! if madcmoiselle thought so—if
madcnioisellc would deign”-— He stopped
{again and placed his hand upon his fore-
head. “It might be so!” he muttered.
“I must go now,” said Roscy hur-
riedly, rising with an awkward sense of.
constraint. “Father will wonder where
I am.”
“I shall explain. I will accompany you,
madcnioiselle."
“No, no,” said Rosey, quickly; “he
must not know I have been here!” She
stopped. The honest blush flew to her
cheek, and then returned again, because
she had blushed. '
Dc Ferriercs gazed at her with an ex-
alted look. Then drawing himself to his
full height, he said, with an exaggerated
and indescribable gesture, “Go, my child,
go. Tell your father that you have been
alone and unprotected in the abode of
poverty and suffering, but—that it was in
the presence of Armand dc Ferricrcs.”
lie threw open the door with a bow
that nearly swept the ground, but did not
again offer totakc her hand. At once
impressed and embarrassed at rn‘is crown-
ing incongruity, her pretty lip trembled
between a smile and a cry as she said,
“Good night,” and slipped away into the
darkness.
Erect and grotesque de Ferriercs rc—
taincd the same attitude until the sound
of her footsteps was lost, when he slowly
began to, close the door. But a strong
arm arrested it from without and a large
carpeted foot appeared at the bottom of
the narrowing opening. The door yielded
and Mr. Abner N ott entered the room.

glance ardund him, do Ferrieres threw
himself before the intruder. But slowly
lifting his large hand and placing it on his
lodger’s breast he quietly overborc the
sick man’s feeble resistance with an im-
pact of’power that seemed almost as moral
as it was physical. He did not appear to
take any notice of the room or its misera-
ble surroundings—indeed, scarcely of the
occupant. Still pushing him, with ab-
stracted eyes and immobile face, to tho
chair that Rosey had just quitted, he
made him sit down and then took up his
‘own position on the pile of cushions oppo-
site. l-Iis usually tinderdonc complexion
was of watery blueness; but his dull, ab-
siracted glance appeared to exercise a cer-
tain dumb, narcotic fascination on his
lodger. '
“I mout,” said Nott. slowly, “hev laid
ye out here on sight, without enny worn-
in’, or dropped yo in yer tracks in Mont-
gomery street, wherever thcr was room to
work a six shooter in comf’ably? John-
'son, of Petaluny—him, ye know, cz had

Sacramento chap ez all about the same

“liladcnioicc'llc is an angel!” said de
I‘errieres, suddenly rising, with an excess
of extravagance. “A saint! Look! I cram
the lie, ha! doWn his throat who challenges
it.”
“Ef by mam’selle ye mean my Rosey,”
said Nott, quietly laying his powerful
hands on de Ferriercs’ shoulders, and
slowly pinning him down again upon his
chair, “ye’re about right, though she ain’t
r'nam’sellc yet. '1: I was sayin’, I might
hcv killed you offhand of I had thought
it would hevbeenagood thing for losey.”
“For her? All, well! Look, I am ready,"
interrupted dc- Ferrieres, again' springing
to his feet, and throwing open his coat
with both hands. “See! here at my heart
—firc!”
“Ez I was sayin’,” continued Nott, once
more pressing the excited man down in
his chair, “I might licv wiped ye out—
and mebbee you wouldn’t Itev kecred—or
you might hev wiped me out, and I mout
hev said, ‘Thank ’ee,’ but I reckon this
ain’t a case for what ’5 comf’ablc for you
and me. It’s what’s good for Rosey.
And the thing to kalkilatc is, what’s to
be done.”
I-Iis small, round eyes for the first time
rested on de Ferricres’ face, and were
quickly withdrawn. It was evident that
this abstracted look, which had fascinated
his ledger, was merely a resolute avoidance
of do Ferrieres’ glance, and it became ap-
parent later that this avoidance was due
to a ludicrous appreciation of do Ferrieres’
attractions.
“And after we’ve done that we must
kalkilate what Rosey is and what Rosey
wants. P’raps, ye allow, you know what
loscy is? P’raps you’ve seen her prance
round in velvet bonnets and white satin
slippers and sick. P’raps you’ve seen her
rcadin’ tracks and v’yages without waitin’
to spell a word or catch her breath. But
that ain’t the Rosey ez I know. It’s a.
little child ez uster crawl in and out the
lailboard of a Mizzouri wagon on the .al-
cali pizoncd plains, where there wasn’t;
another hit of God’s mercy on ycarth to
be seen for miles and miles. It’s
a little gal as ustcr hunger and thirst
ez quiet and monuerly cz she now cats
and drinks in plenty; whose voice was ez
steady with Injins yelling round her nest
in the leaves on Sweetwater oz in her
party cabin up yonder. That’s the gal
cz I know! That’s the Rosey 02 my ole
woman puts into my arms one night arter
we left Laramie when the fever was high,
and scz, ‘Abner,’ sez she, ‘the chariot is
swinging low for me tonight, but thar
ain’t room in it for her or you to git in or
hitch on. Take her and rare her, so we
kin all jine on the other shore,’ sez she. '
And I’d knowed the other 'shore wasn’t
no Kaliforny. And that night, p’raps,
the chariot swung lower than ever before,
and my 010 woman stepped into it, and
left me and Rosey to creep on in the old
wagon alone. It’s them kind 0’ things,”
added Mr. Nott thoughtfully, “that seem
to pint to my killin’ you on sight ez the
best thing to be done. And yet Rosey
mightn’t like it.”
He had slipped one of his feet out of his
huge carpet slippers, and, as he reached
down to put it on again, he added calmly:
“And oz to yer marrying her it ain’t to be
done.”
The utterly bewildered expression which
transfigured dc Ferrieres’ face at this an-
nouncement was unobserved by N ott’s
averted eyes, nor did he perceive that his
listener the next moment straightened his
erect figure and adjusted his crav at.
“Ef Rosey,” he continued, “hez read in
vy’ges and tracks in Eyetnlian and French
countries of such chaps ez you and kalki-
lates you’re the right kind to tie to, mob-
bee it mout hev done if you’d been liviu’
over thar in a pallis, but somehow it don’t
jibe in over here and agree with a. ship—
and that ship lying comf’ablc ashore in
San Francisco. You don’t seem to suit
.the climate, you see, and your general
gait is likély to stampede the other cattle.
Agin,” said Nott, with an ostentation of
looking at his companion, but really gaz-
ing on vacancy, “this fixed up, antique
style of yours goes better with them ivy
kivered ruins in Rome and Palmyry that
Rosey’s mixed you upwith, thanit would
ycre. I ain’t saying,” he added as do
Ferrieres was about to speak, “I ain’t say-
iii’ ez that child ain’t; smitten with ye. It
ain’t no use to lie and say she don’t prefer
you to her old father, or young chaps of.
her own age and kind. I’ve seed it afor
now. I suspicioned it afor I seed her slip
out 0’ this place to-night. Thar! keep
your hair on, such ez it is!” he added as
do Ferrieres attempted a quick dcprccatory
gesture. “I ain’t askin yer how often she
comes here, nor what she sez to you nor
you to her. I ain’t asked her, and I don’t.
ask you. I’ll allow ez you’ve settled all
the preliminaries and bought her the ring
and sick; I’m only askin’ you now, kalki-
.latiu’ you’ve got all the kecrds in your
own hand, what you’ll take to step out
and leave the board?” ,
- The dazed look of de Ferricres might
have forced itself even upon Nott’s one
idead fatuity, had it not been a part of
that gentleman’s system delicately to look
another way at that moment so as not to
embarrass his adversary’s calculation.
“Pardon,” stammcred dc Ferriercs, ‘,‘but
I do not comprehendi” He raised his
hand to his head. “I am not well—I am
stupid. Ah, mon Dieul” - ~
“I ain’t sayin’,” added Nott more
gently, “cs you don’t feel bad. It’s
nat’ral. But it ain’t business. I’m ask-
ing you,” he continued, taking from his
breast pocket at large wallet, “how much
you’ll take in cash now, and the rest next
steamer day, to give up Rosey and leave
the ship.”
De Ferriercs staggered to his feet de-
spite Nott’s restraining hand. “To leave
madcmoisellc and leave the ship?” he said
huskily, “is it not?” . . .
“In course. Yer can leave ‘t. ings ycr

time looking around the miserable apart-
ment. “It’s a business job. I’ll take the
bales back ag’in, and you kin reckon up
what you’re out, countin’ Rosey and loss
0' time.” , :
“I-Ic wishes me to go—lie has said,” re-
peated do Ferrieres to himself thickly.
“Ef you mean me when you say him,
and on there ain’t any other man around,
I reckon you do—‘yes!’ ”
“And he asks me—hc—this man of the
feet and the daughter—asks inc—dc Fer~
ricres—what I will take,” continued de
Ferrieres, buttom‘ng his coat. “No! it is
a dream!” He walked stiflly to the cor—
ner where his portmantoau lay, lifted it,
and going to the outer door, a cut through
the ship’s side that communicated with
the alley, unlocked it and flung it open to
the night. A thick mist like the breath
of the ocean flowed into the. room.
“You ask me what I shall take to go,”
he said as he stood on the threshold. “I
shall take what you cannot give, mon-
sieur, but what I would not keep it I
stood here another moment. I take my
honor, monsieur,-and—I take my leave!”
For a moment his grotesque figure was
outlined in the opening, and then disap-
peared as if he had dropped into an invis-
ible ocean below.
certcd at this complete success ofhis over-
tures, Abner Nott remained speechless,
gazing at the vacant space until a cold in-
ilux of the mist recalled him. Then he
rose and shufiled quickly to the door.
“Hi! Ferrers! Look yer—say! \Vot’s
your hurry, pardner?”
But there was no response. The thick
mist, which hid the surrounding objects,
seemed to deaden all sound also. After a
moment’s pause he closed the door, but
did not lock it, and retreating to the cen-
ter of the room remained blinking at the
two candles and plucking some perplexing
problem from his beard. Suddenly an
idea seized him. Roseyi Where was she?
Perhaps it had been a preconcertcd plan
and she had tied with him. Putting out
the lights he stumbled hurriedly through
The
cabin door was open; there was the sound
of voices-Renshaw’s and Rosey’s. Mr.
Nottz felt relieved but not unembarrassed.
He would have avoided his daughter’s
presence that evening. But even while
making this resolution with characteristic
infelicity he blundered into the room.
Roscy looked up with a slight start; Ren-
s‘naw’s animated face was changed to its
former expression of inward discontent.
“You canto in so like a ghost, father,”
said Rosey with a. slight peevislmess that
was new to her. “And I thought you
were in town. Don’t go, Mr. Benshaw.”
But Mr. Renshaw intimated that he
had already trespassed upon Miss N ott’s
time, and that no doubt her father want-
ed to talk with her. To his surprise and
annoyance, however, Mr. Note insisted on
accompanying him to his room, and with-
out hceding Renshaw's cold “Good
night,” entered and closed the door he-
hind him. -
‘ ‘P’raps,” said Mr. N ott with a troubled
air, “you disremember that when you
hev that ’er loft that the Frenchman 11nd
down stairs.” ,
“No, I don’t remember it,” said Ben-
show, almost rudely. “But,” he added,
after a pause, with the air of a man
obliged to revive a stale and unpleasant
memory, “if I did—what about it?”
“Nuthin’, only that you kin hev it to-
morrow, ez that ’ere Frenchman is movin’
out,” responded Nott. “I thought you
was sorter keen about it when you first
kcm.” ‘
“Umph! we’ll talk about it to-mor-
row.” Something in the look of wearied
perplexity with which Mr. Nott was be-
ginning to regard 'his own malapropos
presence, arrested the young man’s at
tention. “I’Vhat’s the reason you didn’t
sell this old ship long ago, take a decent
house in the town, and bring up your
daughter like a. lady?” he asked with a
sudden blunt good humor. But even this
implied blasphemy against the habitation
he worshiped did not prevent Mr. Nott
from his usual misconstruction of the
question.
“I reckon, now, Rosey’s got high flown
ideas of livin’ in a. castle with ruins, eh?”
he said cunningly.
“Haven’t heard her say,” returned
Renshaw abruptly. “Good night.”
Firmly convinced that Rosey had been
unable to conceal from Mr. Renshaw the
influence of her dreams of a castellated
future with do Ferricres, he regained the
cabin. Satisfying himself that his daugh-
ter had retired, he sought his own couch.
But not to sleep. The figure of de Ferric
eres, standing in the ship side and melt-
ing into the outer darkness, haunted him
and compelled him in dreams to rise and
follow him through the alleys and byways
of the crowded city. Again, it was a. part
of his morbid suspicion that‘he now in-
vested the absent man with apotential
significance and an unknown power.
What deep laid plans might be not form
to possess himself of Rosey, of which he,
Abner Nott, would be ignorant? Un-
checked by the restraint of a father’s roof
he' would now give full license to his
power. “Said he’d take his honor with
him,” muttered Abner to himself in the
dim watches of the night; “lookin’ at that
sayin’ in its right light, it looks bat .”
CHAPTER V.
The elaborately untruthful account
which Mr. Nott gave his daughter of de
Ferrieres’ sudden departure was more for-
tunate than his usual equivocations. While
it disappointed and slightly mortified her,
it did not seem to her inconsistent with
what she already knew of him. “Said his
doctor had ordered him to quit town un-
der an hour, owing to a. comin’ attack of
hay fever, and he had a friend from fur-
rin parts waitin’ him at the Springs,
Rosey,” explained Nott, hesitating be-
tween his desire to avoid his daughter’s
eyes and his wish to observe here counte-
nance.
“Was he worse?—I mean did he look
badly, father?” inquired Rosey thought-
fully.
“I reckon not exackly bad. Kinder
looked ez if he mout be worse soon of he
didn’t hump hisself. ”
“Did you see him?—in his room?” asked
Rosey anxiously. Upon the answer to
this simple question depended the future
confidential relations of father and
daughter. If her father had himself de-
tected the means by which his ledger ex-
isted she felt that her own obligations to
secrecy had been removed. But Mr.
Nott’s answer disposed of this vain hope.
It was a response after his usual fashion
to the question he imagined she artfully
wished to ask, 1. e. if he' had discovered
their rendezvous of the previous night.
This it was part of his peculiar delicacy
to ignore. Yet his reply showed that he
had been unconscious of the one miserable
secret that he might have read easily.
“I was there an hour or so—him and
me alone—discussin’ trade. I reckon he’s
got a good thing enter that curled horse—
hair, forI see he’s got in an invoice o’
cushions. I’ve stored them all in the for-
rard bulkhead until he semis for ’em, or.
Mr. Renshaw hez taken the loft.”
But although Mr. Renshaw had taken
the loft, he did not seem in haste'to occupy
it. He spent part of the morning in un-
easily pacing his room, in occasional sal-
lies into the street from which he pur-
poselessly returned, and once or twice in
distant and furtive contemplation of
Rosey at work in the galley. This last
observation was not unnoticed by the
astute Nott, who at; once conceived that ho
was nourishing a secret; and hopeless pas-
sion for Rosey, began to consider whether
it was not; his duty to warn the young
man of her preoccupied affections. But,
Mr. Renshaw’s flnal disappearance obliged
him to withhold his confidence till morn.
tag.
This time Mr. Renshaw left the ship
with the evident determination of some
settled purpose. He walked rapidly until
he reached the counting house of Mr.
Sleight, when he .was at once shown into a
private otllce. In a. few moments Mr.
Sleight, a brnsque but passionless man,
joined him.
“Well,” said Sleight, closing the door
carefully. “What news?”
“None,” said Renshaw bluntly. “Lpok
Stupetled and discon-'
nere, Sleight," he added, turning to him
suddenly. “Let me out of this game. I
don’t like it.” . '
“Does that ,mean yokve found noth-
ing?” asked Sleight, sarcastically.
“It means that I :liaven’t looked for
anything, and that I don’t intend to with-
out the full knowledge of. that d——d fool
who owns the ship.” '
“You’ve changed your mind since' you
wrote that letter," said Sleight coolly,
producing from a drawor the note already
known to the render. Rensliaw mechan-
ically extended his hand to take it. Mr.
. Sleight dropped the letter back into the
drawer, which he quietly locked. The ap-
parently simplegact dyed Mr. Renshaw’s
cheek with color, but itivanishcd quickly,
and with it. any token of his previous em-
barrassment. He looked at Sleight with
the convinced air of a resolute man who
had at last taken a disagreeable step, but
was willing to stand by the consequences.
“I have changed my mind,” he said
coolly. “I found out; that it was one thing
to go down there as a, skilled prospector
might go to examine a mine that was to
be valued accordingto his report of the in-
dications, but that it was entirely another
thing to go and play the spy in a poor
devil’s house in order tobuy something he
didn’t know he‘ was selling, and wouldn’t
sell if he did.” - '
‘ ‘And something thatgthe man he bought
of didn’t think, of selling; something he
himself never paid foiyjnpd never expect-
ed to buy,” sneered Sleight. ‘ ‘
“But something that We expect to buy
from our knowledge of all this, and it is
that which makes all the difference.”
“But you knew all this before.”
“I never saw’it' in this light before! I
never thought, of it until I was living
there face to face with the old fool I was
intending to overreach. I never was sure
of it. until this morning, when he actually
turned out one of his lodgers that I might
have the very room I required to play oil
our little game in comfortably. When he
did that I made up my mind to drop the
whole thing, and I’m Itere to do it.”
“And let somebody else take the re-
sponsibility—with the- percentage—unless
you’ve also felt it your'duty to warn Nott
too,” said Sleight with a sneer.
“You only dare say that to me, Sleight, "
said chshaw quietly, “because you have
in that drawer all equal evidence of my
folly and my canfldence; but; if you are
wise you will“ not presume too far on
either. Let us see ' how we stand.
Through the yhrn of a} drunken captain
and a mutinous sailor you became aware
of an unclaimed shipment of treasure con-
cealed in an unknown ship that entered
this harbor. You are enabled, through
'mc, to corroborate some facts and identify
the ship. You proposed to me, as a spec-
ulation, to identify the treasure if possible
before you purchased the ship. I accept-
ed the otfer without consideration; on
consideration I now decline it, but with-
out; prejudice or loss to any one but my-
self. As to your insinuation I need not
remind you that my presence here today
refutes it. I would not require your per~
first) heat here you asked me if you could ‘ mission to make a much better bargain
with a good natured fool like Nott than I
could with you. Or if .‘I did not care for
the business I could have warned the
gir ”—- ..
“The girl—what girl?”
chshaw hit his lip, but answered
boldly. “The old man’s daughter—a poor
girl-whom this act would rob as well as
her father.” - _
Sleight looked at his companion atten-
tively. “You might have said so at first,
and let. up on this campmeetin’ exhorta-
tion. Well then—admitting you’ve got
the old man and the young girl on the
some string, and that you’ve played it
pretty low down in the short time you’ve
been there—4 suppose, Dick Renshaw,
I’ve got to see your bluff. Well, how
much is it? \Vhat’s theffigure you and
she have settled, on?” 9" '
For an instant Mr. Sleight was in phys-
ical danger. But before he had finished
speaking Reiishaw’s quicksense of the
ludicrous had so far overcome his first in-
dignation as to enable him even to admire
the perfect moral insensibility of his com-
panion. Ashe rose and walked towards
the door, he half wondered that he had
over treated theruifair seriously. With a
smile he replied:
“Far from blufling, Sleight, I am
throwing my cards on the table. Con-
sider that I’ve passed out. Let some
other man take my hand. Rake down
the pot if you like, old man; I leave for
Sacramento to-night. Adios.”
When the dear had closed behind him
Mr. Sleight summoned his clerk.
“Is that petition for grading Pontiac
street ready?”
“I’ve seen the largest property holders,
'sir; they’re only waiting for you to sign
first.” Mr. Slé' ht paused and then of-
fixed his signature to the paper his clerk
laid before him. “Get the other namesI
and send it up at once. ”
“If Mr. Notti‘tloesn’t sign it, sir?”
“No matter. He will be assessed all
the some.” Mr. Sleight took up his hat.
“The Lascar‘seaman that was here the
other day has been wanting to see you, sir.
I said you were'busy.”
Mr. Sleight put down his hat.
him up.” 7.
Nevertheless Mr. Sleight sat down and
at once abstracted himself so completely
as to he apparently in utter oblivion of
the man_ who entered. He was lithe and
Indian looking; bearing in dress and man-
ner the careless slouch without the easy
frankness of a. sailor.
"Well!” said Sleight without look-
ing up. . '
.“I was only .wantin’ to know of you had
any news for me, boss.”
“N ews?” echoed Sleight as if absently;
“news of what?”
“That little matter of the Pontiac we
talked about, boss,” returned the'Lascar
with an uneasy servility in the whites of
his teeth and eyes.
“0h,” saidSleight, “that’s played out.
It’s a regular fraud. It’s an old forc-
castle yarn, my man, that you can’t reel
off in the cabin.”
The sailor’s face darkened.
“The man who was looking into it has
thrown the whole thing up. I tell you
it’s played out!” repeated Sleight, with-
out raising his head.
- “It’s true, boss—every word,” said the
Lascar, with ., an appealing insinuation
that seemed to struggle hard with savage
earnestness. “You can swear me, boss;
I wouldn’t lie to agentleman like you.
Your man hasn’t half locked, or else-it
must be there, or’ ’—
“That’s just it,” said Sleight; slowly;
“who’s to know that your friends haven’t
been there already—that seems to have
been your style. ”
“But no one knew it but me, untilI
told you, I swear to God. I ain’t lying,
boss, and I ain’t drunk. Say—don’t give
it up, boss. That man of yours likely
don’t believe it, because he don’t know
anything about it. . I do—I could find it. ”
A 'silence followed. Mr. Sleight re-
mained completely absorbed in his papers
for some moments. Then glancing at the
Lascar, he took his pen, wrote a hurried
note, folded it, addressed it, and, holding
‘ ‘Send
it between his fingers, leaned back in his
chair.
“It you choose to take this note to my
. man, he may give it another show. Mind,
I don’t: say that he will. He’s going to
Sacramento to-night, but you could go
down there and find him before he starts.
He’s got a room there, I believe. While
you’re waiting for him, you might keep
your eyes open to satisfy yourself.”
“Ay, ay, sir,” said the sailor, eagerly
cndeavoring to catch the eye of his em-
ployer. But Mr. Sleight looked straight
before him, and he turned to go.
“The Sacramento boat goes at 9,” said
Mr. Sleight quietly.
This time their glances met, and the
Lascar’s eye glistened with subtle intelli-
gence. The next moment he was gone,
and Mr.- Sleight again became absorbed in
his papers:

A COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.
Harvest is home. The bins are full,
The barns are running o’er;
Both grains and fruits we‘ve garnered in
Till we‘ve no space for more.
We’ve worked and toiled through heat and cold.
To plant. to sow. to reap; ‘
And now for all this bounbeons store
let us Thanksgiving keep.
r‘r'i ..
6. ~-
The nuts have ripened on the trees, '
The golden pumpkins round
Have yielded to our industry
Their wealth from out the ground.
The cattle lowing in the fields.
The horses in their stalls.
The sheep and fowls all gave increase,
Until our very walls
Are bending out with God’s good gifts.
And now the day is here
When we should show the Giver that
We hdid those mercies dear.
We take our lives, our joys, our wealth.
Unthanking every day;
If we deserve or we do not,
The sun it shines alway. '
So in this life of daily toil,
That leaves short time to prey.
With brimming hearts all humbly_keep
One true Thanksgiving Day.
And if there be some sorrowing ones,
Less favored than we are,
A generous gift to them, I think,
Is just. as good as prayer.
A BRAKEMAN’S THANKSGIVING.
“Did we have any Thanksgiving at our
house?” replied the brakeman, echoing an
engineer’s inquiry. “Well, I should say
we did. I hada layoff that day. The
night before came near laying me off for-
ever, too. Didn’t you hear about that?
Funniest thing that ever happened
on the road. As I was coming in
on tho last-section of 57, I having the
rear end, I went up ahead to speak to the
conductor, who was on the engine. It
was as dark as a stack of black cats before
the moon' rose. As I-was going back I
slipped on a broken foot board right at the
end of one of those infernal refrigerator
cars, and fell. ' I couldn’t see a hand be-
fore me, but I knew I was going down. I
clutched for the hand rail, but failed to
reach it, lost my balance, and went down
between the cars, breaking my fall by a
one hand grasp on the brake rod. I
knew what that meant. It came over me
like a flash. I t was death, and I knew it.
My first thought was of my wife and
babe—of what a Thanksgiving dinner
they would have with the turkey the
me
a-lyin’ in the little front room all cold. I
can’t tell you all I thought in that second,
and I wouldn’t if I could. It was awful.
I can remember striking the ground.
I struck on my feet, my efforts to
grasp the hand rail and my half
grip on the brake rod having started
my feet down first. The horror of that
chock. Quicker than you can wink the
thought ran through my brain that in the
next instant I would be crushed by the
wheels of the dozen cat-s behind me. Brit]
wasn’t. I fell headlongou the ground and
rolled over and over, bruised and stunned,
but conscious. I couldn’t realize why the
othercars didn’t l‘llll overrun i to! ice
their .0nd by second. It seemed burr"
Soon I roused, scrairiblcd in mg.- I'l-rw‘. : -.

Just then I remembered that the Illl'ull'TII
express ' was following our section,
and that there was no one on the ca-
boose to flag it. I hobbled, almost
crawled, back about three-quarters of a
mile and found our missing cars standing
in a curve and a. out where the exprese
would surely have telescoped ’ein, and got
there just in time to signal the express
and stop it. Next day I was able to sit
up in bed and cat turkey and receive the
superintendent, who called to say that I
should be promoted the first of the year.”
All Opera. manager's “use.
A French opera manager was in despair. at
the prospect of having to produce “L"Afri~
caine" with white negroes in the ballet, be-
cause the dancers refused to black their faces
for fear it would injure their complexions.
l'Io issued an order, however, that all the
young and pretty girls must color their faces,
because it would do them no harm, while the
old and plain ones would be allowed to ap-
pear without black faces, because they had
more need to take care of their looks. The re-
sult was that every blessed one of the girls
tried to get on more black than any of the
others, and when the ballet was on the stage
a half dozen extra calciums had to be used to
keep the audience from thinking the ~ lights
had all gone out—Now York Sun.
