always dangerous to apeak
a woman'a age. Certain
It is. however, ahe la small
W and well formed, with wavy
brown hilr and large brown eyee and a
rloh brown akin, and, aa a fitting sup
plement to all these charm ahe wore
a brown allk dreaa. She waa not a
plain woman; Indsed aome would have
counted her pretty, aa sit atond there
at the gate half under Med whether to
go forward or back, watr-hlngr the
atranger who waa coming alowly down
the lane. The atranger waa tall and
broil shouldered, with gray eyes, and
gray hair and whisk era, and he wore
gray cloth with a broad . brimmed
gray hat to match. He waa gray
enough for sixty, and euch you would
have voted him had you not chanced
to catch tight of hla clear complexion
and almcat youthful face. Then you
would have said he waa not a day over
forty.
Thla waa Just what the little woman
In brown remarked to herself aa ahe
stood there by the gate. : Besides K
seemed to her that there waa some
thing strangely familiar about the big
man In gray. Away back in the past
before her life became so lonely and
sad, she had known aome one of whom
the stringer reminded her. But that
waa a long while ago, and perhaps she
waa mistaken; at second thought she
was almost certain ahe waa At any
rate It waa foolish of her to stand
there staring curiously at a man she
had never seen before.
Then why did ohe do K?
Tli ltiw In which the big man in
gray waa walking waa not a public
road; it waa private property, and be
sides, at the further end waa posted a
jmiu4 Huti'u wunivu inn irouiiu um
to .trespass thereon. The father of
the tittle woman In brownw had nailed
" it there the morning after the village
boyi bad mad a raid on his peach
orchard. That was thirty years ago;
the author of the placard lay attest
In the old churchyard, the boys who
stole his fruit now had children of
their own, but still H stood as a warn
ing to all passers-by. Perhaps,, thought
the little woman In brown, 'the big
man In gny did not notice the placard
he might be a stranger who by accl
dent had wandered from the public
road. She would show him the way to
the hotel and then go back to the
cottage.
But Just then the big man in gray
cam up to the gate, and raising his
bat to the little woman in brown, said
"I beg pardon, can you tell me who
lives In Deacon Oilkenson's house over
yonderT"
"Deacon Ollkenron! Why, he has
been dead for yean."
"Yes, I know, but what became of
bis daughter, Alice? She waa only a
young girl when I went away."
"I am Alice Gllkenson," said the lit
tie woman in brown, In a half Inqulr
Ing, half startled way.
"Tou are Alios Gllkenson, and you
do not remember me?" And the big
man in gray stooped down and looked
eagerly into tha face of the Utile wo
man in brown.
Five minutes later they were seated
on a bench by the side of the gate,
The little woman In brown had out her
handkerchief and was crying in
softly, while the big man in gray was
wiping his eyes suspiciously, and say.
Ing: "And so you have not forgotten
the old mill under the hill and the
black-haired boy who used to work
there? That was a krg time ago."
"Ages ag," said the little woman In
brown.
"But the boy did not find the work
bard or tiroaome," the big man in gray
went on. "Twice in each week there
waa an old gentleman who came to the
mill bringing with him his HBtle girl,
and While the grist was grinding, the
boy and the girl used to play together
and he thought her the prettiest, dear
est creative he had ever seen, and the
days when she and her father came
to the mill were the brightest, sun
meet spots in all his life. After a time
the girl stopped coming to the mill
She was fifteen then and the boy was
eighteen. But the old gentleman used
to ask the boy to his house for dinner
on Sunday afternoon, and after din
ner was over the old gentleman would
lie down on hla sofa in the little par
or and take a long nap, while the boy
and girl would talk together for hour
at a time. What they italked about
would have interested mo one but
themselves, yet they were Interested,
and to the boy at least, those after
, noons were very precious, for he loved
the girl dearly."
"I know he old," said the little wo
man In btown.
"But there came an end to all this,"
continued the big man In gray, not
noticing ; the Interruption. "The boy
was poar, very poor, while the girl's
father wis the rlcheet man In the
town. One day the latter gjfve the boy
to understand that he could never
hope to claim the girl for a wife. The
boy was crushed, completely broken.
He went away, a poor miserable ghost
of bis former self.

"I think she did," aald the little wo

In her throat and ohoked her, and the
big man In gray went on talking.
"One In a very great whll I think

WHAT THE MINERS BUY.
Every merchant Is guided more or
less In the purchase of his supplies by
the character of his culimrs, but, ae
cording to the New York Sun, the men
who run the gwwrnl stores in the coke
region of Pennsylvania have more pe
culiar ideas to meet than I the lot of
the average storekeeper. Thcs stures
are all controlled by the owners ot the
mines, and H is alleged that some of
them force thc-lr men to buy from them
exclusivity. The profits of these stores
are undoubtedly large, although the
prlcts at some of them at least are
lower than they are at the UBual
country store. The unique features
of the ware carried in these stores are
the enormous feather beds, Polish and
Hungarian head-dreeeos, hravy boots
for the women as well s the men
and all uorts of gaudy shawls and
drees stuffs. Among the special pro
visions thtse stores supply are highly
seasoned sausages and hams, such as
are found In the Polish and Hungar
Ian quarters of this town. The Poles
are much more extravagant than the
Huns and buy better and higher
priced goods. The Huns buy the
oheapest kinds of meal., of which they
make thalr golaslies, They do not buy
very much of anything In the way of
provision, howwer, relying largely
upon thcrtr gardens for vegetables, and
occasionally killing one of tholr duck
or gease. The Pole, on the contrary,
rely very little upon their own efforts
although they alto have good gardens,
but purchase the best foods the stores
have. Very few ot the purchasers pay
cash. Instead they secure tickets from
tluslr foreman for various amounts,
These are preetnted at the stores in
payment toe purchase of supplies,
and th3 clerks mark on them the
amounts of their purchases. When
the whole value of the ticket has been
contracted for it Is taken up by the
clerk of the store.

tor mining purport. The placer ot
this camp wer originally believed to
be cotiAittHt In the new or present
channel, and, acting upon tht belief,
all work waa confined to thla channel,
which was worked over many year
ago, tn H e rrude way, with torn and
rockers, for a distance of S50 feet In
width by about ten miles lit length;
but the miners ot an early day were
mistaken later years and mr ex
tended prospecting have developed the
fact that there was not one, but three
channels ruimlttg parallel with each
other, anl that In some remote period
uf the past the two back channels,
Inc discovered, have been covered up
by lidos from the adjacent moun
tain. The situation of the camp, and
the different in the conformation of
the mountain skirting the stream on
oppoelte stilt's, show at a glance that
the back channel are the rwsult ot
two distinct slide from th north side,
each In Its turn rilling and covering
up the old, and forming the UttiT
channels fjirthi south. These old
channels Bte boulders of which are
rapidly decomposing and falling to
piece with age, ami which are mostly
broken to piece and dissolved by the
force of th pipe and passed through
the flume extend the full length of
the property, with an aggregate width
ot 2'Ji fwt: and though they have as
yet b-tt but partially prospected by
artu vl working testa, enough ha been
shown to prove that they are equal In
richness to anything yet discovered In
the district.
This llttlo camp, unpretentious as It
appears, ha been a veritable Ophlr,
and ha ylld-x! no less than f4.000.OM

maintained by many miners still living
and mining In the district, and who
worked In the camp In an early day
until It was co.srilwed worked out,
that by the crude mrlhod In us t

th mlno confidently assert, that from

second working of this entire channel,
with a pipe, will pay much better than
whn It was hurriedly gone over In an
early day with torn ami rockers.
Piping wis commenced on this prop
erty about five years ago. Up to till
time the existence of the back chan
nels, discovered by mean of the pipe,
wa wholly unknown. During these
five year thi annual out-put ba been
$30,000, whll the average yearly ex
pense has been few than $4,000; ami a
considerable part of this time ha been
given to prellmlrjiry work In opening,
dratnirg, tc, for which no return
wera had or expected, Thl has been
the result while the plant, lmperfrt In
every -vay, has not hm operated at
more than a third of its reasonable
capacity the day work being prose
cuted leisurely, and no ivlght work
having been done at all; and In the
opinion of practiced and expert modern
miners, the proprietor ha entirely Ig
nored the presence of flno gold, of
whioh It Is believed there I a large
percentage, and which no attempt
whatever npir to have been made
to sav. This very Important consid
eration appears never to have engaged
the attention of the management In a
serious or practical way ami all efforts
have stopped short of any carefully de
vised system or method for saving
othor than ihe course or heavy gold
This opinion Is greatly strengthened
and will receive much added weight
when the fact Is stated that a flume of
only sixty feet In length is used, and
no r titles or other appliance for aavlng
gold, exoept half round ipole laid
length-wise In and covering the bottom
of the flume. It Is confidently believed
that if the iiume were materially
lengthened and under-current and oth
er moderni, gold-saving devtlcw env
ployed In connection with it, a sultl
clent quantity of fine gold would be
saved to pay the entire expense of op.
eratlng tha mine, and thus leave the
full out-put of coarso gold as clear
profit to the owner.
By the construction ot a suitable
reservoir to lave the excess of water,
which now goes to waste when It I
flush, for ue when It Is needed which
can be done at a small cost and then
running the plant to Its full capacity,
It would easily net an annual Income
sufficient to pay 10 per cent on an In
vestment of $300,000. This Is the larg
est, and all things considered, the
cheapest and mast valuable mining
property In Southern Oregon, There
Is good dump and-plonty of fall, no
debris tow In Oregon, and ao property
below the mine to be damaged no
counter-claims, no Intervening or con
tiguous property to annoy or disturb
oporatilona. The mine in all respects
Is absolutely free and unencumbered,
and Is ao situated that its peaceful op
eration cannot be Interfered with from
any source or upon any pretext
The water supply I obtained by
means ot three ditches, with an aggrr
gate capacity of 1,200 inches. The
pressure 4s now 100 feet, which is en
tirely sufficient, ae the banks yield
readily to the pipe, which taxe to the
utmost the carrying capacity of the
water. This property 1 not a mere
proposition, or possibility, or problem-

admitted historic and present buoccms

fully profitable operation for the past
five years, under Its Imperfect man
agement, and the discovery, In the
meantime, of the two back channels,
not htirctafare known to exist, place
It upon a par with the best and
most valuable mining properties on the
coast A personal inspection of the
property will how that there is suf
ficient ground, of first quality, to run
the present plant, under the most foe
voroiblo circumstances, for at least 200
years.

that travel was heavy that night, and
my oar wus crowded. To my great
disgust, Uto, It was a vary old car. I

the trouble wus. The porter waa sum

noil log that could enlighten us and
said he w.ts nti It was nothing ser

spirits llk myself fell reassured and
dumped off to sleep In spite of the

"I was In the midst of oj dream about
fulling eb vntora and similar pleasant
fiMM-les when I was awakened by some
body yanking at my arm. It was the
porter.
" 'I am sorry to tumble you, boss,
he said, 'but ve of the wheels on this
car has gone wrong, and the conductor
Is afraid we will have smash-up If
we don't take the car off. You'll have
to got up und get out, fitr we are potng
to run this car Into the shop and put

"Naturally I felt a little annoyed.
When a man 1 sleopy. be doesn't like
to be told lie ho to get up and dress
end fuss and bother, It Isn't the eaa
bet thing In the world to sleep in a
stuffy car on a hot night anyhow, and
Intoramplkma are not apt to compos
the mind. However, there was no use
of kicking, and eo I got up and dressed
as quickly as I could, gathered my
trap bigcther and pre-itaced to move.
The car was full of people In various
stages of undress, and It took some
little 41me to clear them out so 4hat
tha car could be taken off the train.
We found ourselves at Albany, We
hud to wait on the platform tor nearly
half n hour while tho car waa rolled
out of the way ami another one
brought out of the yard.
"If the first sleeper had been old,
this one was antique. It must have
been one of the first of the Wagner to
ba put in orvlce. It was smaller and
had fewer berths than the other car,
and as It hadn't been cleaned for some
tlmo It vas very dirty. Every time
we tochod anything our hands were
covered with dust We stood around
whllo the conduct or trledto arrange for
our accommodation, and as the berths
were differently arranged thl took
some time. In the meantime the train
had st.vrted agniln. .
"The conductor was an amiable per
son, an! tried hard to hurry things as
much as possible, which relieved the
situation a great deal. In allotting
spooo to us he came finally to an old
gentleman who lived up the country.
'I am very sorry,' lie sold to Mm, 'but
I'll have to put you in the Btate room,
sir. ThoM ore no more berth left'
It occurred to all simultaneously, I
gueRS, that that meant an extra charge
for the old man. 'Ocoat Scott!' ex
claimed the old gentleman, 'have I
been yanked out of my eloep and put
to all this discomfort to be compelled
to pay double fare?" 'Oh, of course
rot!' eald the conductor. 'Inasmuch
as It Is our fault, we won't charge you
extra faro.' Tho cjld man smiled
broadly at that, for the idea of having

smile became rather -sickly. After
awhile thlnppa were Btriagbtencd out,
but it wan fully an hour, from the time
we left Albany before we turned Into

"Naturally one would imagine that
evciryone would have beeen Ill-tempered
aftor all this fuss, 'but the truth
Is I never saw a Jollier lot of people
In all my travels. Of course sleep
was impossible for most of u after all

KXPERIMENTINO WITH CHICK
ENS, Tho Experiment station at Calhoun,

egg-producer and general purpose
fowl. Here nre the results:
The Plymouth Rock have led, fol
lowed closely by Brown leghorns,
Hamburg, Houdan-Mlnorca and Lang
shan. Previous to this year the Leg
horns have mado the best record for
egg production for three successive
years. The Plymouth Rocks, howeW,
had the advantage of the run of th
place. ,
It 1 Impossible to maintain purity
of the breeds without close confine
ment, and yet such confinement la very
prejudicial to health and egg produc
tion. The European breeds are all
great spring and summer layers, are
small and non-setters. It la pretty
well established that the Leghorn are
the best egg-producera of all the breed.
The Asiatics are generally good win
ter and early spring layers and roak
excellent mothers and are good table
fowls.
The Langshan8 stand at the head of
the list and are regarded as one of th
best general-purpose fowls.
The Plymouth Rocks are also good
winter and spring layer and make ex
cellent mothers; they are hardy, of
quick growth and good table fowla
Of the breeds men Honed, the Lang"
