fixed his eyes on me, for I admitted him,

trembled. I blushed. I oh, Irene! Irene!

and I must tell vou all about It. I ran
away from auntie and everybody, and was
walking alone on the beach. I expect you
to lielieve, you intldell that I had not

alone on the beach. If you are uot lost to

approached, walking close to the edge of

the wet sand actually brightened about his

hat, saying, "Miss Dement, may I sit with
you, or will you walk with mef"
The possibility that neither might be
agreeable seems not to have occurred to
liiiu. Did yon ever know such assurance
Assurance My dear, it was gall-downright
gall! Well, I didn't tlnd it worm-

horse heart in my throat, "I I shall be
pleased to do anything." Could words
have been more stupid There are depths
of fatuity in nie, friend o' my soul, which
are simply bottomless!
He extended his hand, smiling, and I de
livered mine into it without a moment's
hesitation, and when his fingers closed
about it to assist nie to my feet, the con
sciousness that it trembled made me blush
worse than the red west.
I got up, however, and after a while, ob
serving that he had not let go my hand, I
pulled on It a little, but unsuccessfully.
He simply held on, saying nothing, but
looking down into my t ice with some kind
of a smile I didn't know how could !
whether it was affectionate, derisive, or
what, for I did not look at him. How
beautiful he was with the red fires of sun
set burning in the depths of his eyes! Do

seen his superb at titude, the godlike Inclin
ation of his head as he stood over me after
I had got upon my feetl It was a noble
picture, but 1 soon destroyed it, for I began
at once to sink again to the earth. There
was only one thing for him to do. and he
did It: be supported me with an arm about
my waist.

was an exclamation: there was neither
alarm nor solicitude in it. If he had add
ed, "I suppose that ia about what I am ex
pected to say," be would hardly have ex

covered my head with the bedclothes, shud

then my dreams were troubled and my iniud
filled with apprehension. 1 ttiought I waa
being pursued by a red eyed unii-orn with a
navy blue stomach and a Chinese lantern
tied to his tail. 1 tried to shake him off, but
I could not. He led nie down into the in
fernal regions, and insisted on showing uie
the iron brul-e and the high school, and
ike of the gi'eat progrew of the place, and
atid that they were likely to get a new and

he snowed me the library and walked me out
to the fair grounds and down on the lake
shore, so that I could take a sulphur bath,
and spoke of the desirability of the cliniatu
for people with bronchial affections, and
wanted nie to speak of it iu my letters to the
press, and said ho would pay me well for it.
Just then I beard a knock on my door. I
was so glad tn have anybody knock, Instead
of picking the lock, that I asked: "Who's
tueref" A rich, manly voice replied, "Ma"
I was glad to hear the welcome voice of
one of my own sex, and so I undid the door
for the gentleman wltb great alacrity. Just
as I was bounding lightly hack towards my
couch withamcry laugh, the party strolled
into the middle of the room bearing a small
but rare collection of clammy, mucilaginous
towels. She was a heavy set chambermaid

Mayor Weston, now of Grand Rapiiia, be
fore he became wealthy was a newspaper
man in Denver ami used to stop at the old
Planters' hotel He bail a mining deal to
write up for the paier, and connected with
the deal was a Georgetown superintendent
whom we will address as Julias 11 t'avryo.
Mr. Cavryo was to furnish the particulars to
Mr. Westou, but early in the day be began to
meet old acquaintances and to cement their
friendship by means of a powerful solution
known aa embalming fluid.
80, at 11 o'clock, Mr. Weston put Julius
H. Cavvyo to rest on his owu little tied at the
Planters' and went out to prosecute bis re
searches in relation to the Hold t"p Mining
ami Improvement coinuiny. The old Plant
ers' hotel was not exactly like the Hoffman
house or the Gilscy house. You could tell
the difference almost as soon as you sat down
at the table. If you spoke to the waiter
about tho tenacity of the steak or the longev
ity of the butter, he aouid you a tart renlv.
and you won Id have to get along with that
for dessert. One man murmured about the
steak and said it was too tough, so therefore
be would not eat It.
"You won't eat itf calmly replied the
loose Jointed waiter. "You say you won't
aatitr
t'l say so because I can't cut it. No man
can cut that steak. You can't cut it with
acids. So I won't It."
"Well, you will eat it," said the waiter,
reaching around as if in the act of adjusting
his bustle. "You will eat it or I'll wear it
out on you I"
He ate it.
But among other things there waa a big
alarm bell iu the tower of the Planters',
which was wont to ring for fires, funerals and
other eutortainmenta The rope bung in the
ball and when the help of the populace was
required in oruor to suppress lire or a riot,
the first mao fj the ball rope aalutod the
Rl"". y summits of the Rocky mountains with
this wild alarm.
While Mr. Weston was getting his infor
mation on the streets, the great bell awoke
the echoes in ths fastnesses of the canyons
twenty miles away, and the excited populace
swarmed to the llauters' to learn what great
calamity bail befallen the now city. Mr.
Westou got there at last, and, out of breath,
rushed up to his room. In the hall he found
Julius H. Cavvyo ringing the bell. His sus
penders were draped anil soapsuds were drip
ping from his chin and the tip of bis Vene
tian red nose.
"What has happened f panted Weston.

"Well, what do you s'pose I'm ringing ths
