Annul colorful.. She waa pretty, and in atilte of her love for Bolliu aha could uot help a throb of pleasure In the thought of being admired by city eyea. The next week aha went to the city with her Aunt llella I'reacott to atay a mouth or two. Hut the "mouth or two" awelled to six, and there seemed no more proepect of Annul 'a uittiii$r the city than during the flrat week after her ar rival there, The truth waa that, aside from the fact that Mra. Bella I'reacott a gay and somewhat attractive widow, and young still had taken a derided fancy for her lovely little uiere, she found that ah added so much to the charm of her ele gantly appointed drawing room tliut ahe did not know how to spare her from it. One morning aa An not finished read. Ing a letter from Hnllin, Auut Bulla aaid to Iter with a lnught "ltolllu won't be coming here to awe you, I hone." Annot blttahed without replying. In deed, In this very letter Bolliu had an nounced that he waa coming, and An nul did not know for the life of bet whether ahe waa glad or aurry, Mra. Preacott looked seriously annoyed when aba understood the elate of the case. Annot aaw her displeasure, and her own uneasiness waa increeaed, Both might, however, have apared any anxiety cout'eruing Rollln Dratmk He had brown hands and a bronzed face, but he waa a large, aplendldly made man and carried himself easily. Neither Mra, Prosoott nor Annot, I am aurry to aay, met hlra with quite the cordiality they ought He bad antici pated aomelhingof tha sort from the tunnof A mint's lettera, and he had come to the city to see for himself just what the mischief amonuled to and whether anything could be done. If he could have remained his cool self, content to rest the matter patiently on hia own merita, Annot might have eeelt in time how infinitely siiprior be waa to most of those who surrounded her and returned voluntarily to that al legiance which waa really considerably shaken by the Hutteriea that had of late turned her pretty, ailly head completely. But he loved her too well. He waa too impulsive and Impatient to be able to stand calmly by anil behold hia pure little blossom tosaed upon the bosom of such a stream aa thla which bore her now. Annot, too, in her foolish vanity, could not forbear "showing off" for his Ik'iicIH stunt) of the new and fashionable airs she hud at'iptired, Bhe laughed and chatted with her various admirers and threw arch, smiling, enticing glnucea thla way and that, just aa ahe hud aeon the city belles do. Iu short, Rollln Dra cut's love, hia emblem of dniutineMs and pure simplicity, flirted just aa any beau tiful coquettish worldling might have done lu her third season. He was terribly shocked and very angry. He remonstrated quietly. But Annot had U'en petted too long to take rebuke quietly, above all from one whuin ahe hud expected such unhesitat ing adoration ami indulgence' as from him. He went home without seeing her again, and never ao much aa wrote to her afterward, He considered her com pletely lost to him, and Annot, though scared ut first, felt rather relieved to have everything got along with ao easily. About this time apiieured upon the scene the "conquering hero" in tho per son of one Raymond bt. Ives, a hand some young Kiih'lishman of superior iu li'llot't and fascinating address. Annot had been flattered anil admired to the extent of her desires, but, strangely enough, she had not once imagined her self lu love with any of those gentlemen who adored her so gracefully and dressed so unexct'ptioiinlly, It was quite a different thing when this young Englishman came. He con trived to impress her with a vague idea that he waa some great personage or other in disguise, and he certainly as sumed haughty enough airs for a great lord at the very least. t Much to Annot's surprise, Mrs, Pres oott did uot seem to like her new ad mirer, and there was just enough will fulness in Annot to make her like him all the more fur that very reason. Mrs. Preacott fostered her dislike to St, Ives) she quarreled constantly with Annot about him, and Anally forbade Annot to see him. . f 5 The result might have been foreseen, 9t Ives contrived to meet Annot out somewhere, swore that he loved hnr too well to live without her and made her believe him. Late the following night k carriage was waiting not far from Mrs. Prtiscott's residence. Annot crept lofUy .down from her own room and stole out toward it, and they were driven swiftly away, Annot sobbing in a hys terical fright at the step she had taken. It had been understood that they should proceed immediately to the house of a clergyman and be married, but Bt. Ives proposed that they should leave the city for that purpose, and, as it was too late to rentier it probable that they would easily find a clergyman, postpone the ceremony till morning dawned. It was far into the next day before they stopped at a little country hotel miles from the city, and Annot, haggard from sleeplessness and red eyed from weeping, was oonducted within. St. Ives ordered breakfust and went out afterward, as be said, to look for a minister. Annot waited, stillvery much dopressed and not feeling at all as she Five Cents Per Copy. Highest of all in Leavening ABSOLUTELY FUU3 bat supposed people dirT who wera about to be married. Botna one knocked. Blushing guiltily, ahe opened the door; but Instead of tit. Ives and hia expected comiiilon, a woman glided into the room, and throwing back her veil showed a face of aurpaasing beauty, and fixed upon the shrinking girl a pair of dark, burning Italian eyea, "Who are you? What do you want?" stammered Annot at last, rallying her self. The woman's glance softened. "Yoo are such a child,'' she said "so yout:g. I am very sorry for you." "Horry for me? I don't understand you," Annot aaid, wishing that St. Ives would come, and thinking that this strango woman must be crazy, and then with a low cry sprang to meet Ut Ives, who had just entered the room, and stood glaring at tha stranger with en raged eyes. Banging the door to behind him, and pushing Annot from him almost sav agely, be spoke to the woman with the dark Italian eyes, "Have you told her?" he asked. Tha woman shook her head. Ha laughed bitterly. "You thought it waa too pleasant a task for me to be deprived of, ehT Bt. Ivea turned sharply toward her. "There's no use in dilly-dallyiug now, Annot," be said abruptly. "I couldn't deceive you any longer if I wanted to. I think you and 1 won't be married this morning." Annot dropped trembling and uncoin prehensive into a chair, "For the very singular reason," he went on, "that I have already one wife, and she's too much for me." The strange woman glided to the side of the bewildered girl. "I am his wife, dear," she said almost tenderly, "Don't mind, it might have been worse, you know," Bt Ives seemed touched by the face of wblto despair Auuot lifted at the wo man' words. "You're only ten mile from Jayuea ville, Annot," he said almost remorse fully, "and there's a stage, I lielieve. Yon can go right home and nobody be the wiser. Here la money to pay your way." Annot rose mechanically, and as she did so the bill he had upon her knee full to the floor. . lie picked them up and offered them to ber agaiu, aa she waa tying on her bonnet; but she left the room without looking at them or him, and went slowly out of the hotel, with her veil down, her hetul dixxy, and her heart so heavy it could hardly throb. The stage drove up at that moment. and while it waited she eagerly entered it, and took her seat, without glancing toward the single passenger who was already there. An exclamation caused her to lift her eyes. It was too much, too much, that that face of incredulous surprise should be long to Rollin Dracut But it did. He caught her as she fell fainting. She waked from that swoon to burn ing fever and the unconsciousness of delirium; and Rollin, BUpjiorting her all the way till they reached home, gath ered from her crazed lips the whole sad story, or enough of it to wring his heart and make his own brain whirl. She lay ill weeks, ami he went every day to see how low she was. Thou, when she was pronounced out ot danger, he left Jayncsville without seeing her at all. Two yearn after he came back. He went to see her as any old friend might, and he found her so sweetly like the little Annot who had been his promised wife once, ao gently penitent for the pant, so resigned to any fate that might await her in punishment, that he full more deeply in love than ever, and asked her to lie hia wife as though nothing had happened. Annot hud long since waked to a consciousness of his worth, and she did not any no. C. U. in New York News. A Sure Sign. Little Dick Papa, how does thunder sour milk?

A couple of days ago his pump threw out a trout several inches long, and Mr. Brooke thinks he could have lots of fun bobbing for trout if he had an open well reachiug down to the trout stream that flows beneath that locality. t There cau be no doubt that a subter ranean river of considerable volume ruus through that gravel section, for a few years ago W. L. Willis, who lived in the sums neighborhood that Mr. Brooke does, pumped up a number of mountain trout This stream seems to run down toward the Cosuuines, as trout of good size have been taken from pumps at Sheldon, many miles south of here, i This stream probably comes from Lake Tahoe, that being the nearest mountain hike of sufficient capacity to keep up the Btipply that is known to exist beueath the surface iu this vicinity. Scientists have long been of the belief that there is a subterranean outlet to Lake Tahoe, and as none other has been discovered it is reasonable to suppose that this may be it That it is uot a mere pond, with out source or exit, is evident from the fact that the trout that have been pumped up were without the peculiarities that distinguish fishes taken from under ground reservoirs or the waters of deep caverns, and evidently had not long been on the journey to this point Sacramen to Record-Union.

St. Louis Republic. What the Death Meek Shows. The value of a plaster cast as a por trait of the dead or living face cannot for a moment be questioned. It must of necessity be absolutely true to nature, (t cannot flatter; it cannot caricature. It shows the subject as he waa or is, not only as others saw him In the actual flesh, but as he saw himself. And in the case of the death mask particularly, It shows the subject often as he permit ted no one but himself to see himself. He does not posej he does uot "try to look pleasant." In his mask he is seen, as it were, with his mask off I Laurence Hutton in Harper's. . ,
