I rrp HE Widow Carney cnnic out of ) her two-room Hhnnty beyond tho -' tliiinp. 8ho Htootl erect lu the sprhif,' Httusliliie, looking over n net work of railroad tracks, across to tho BWltchotiHo where Kathleen had taken Fergus 01 lure's dinner. Nellie Carney was Htlll little more than a girl. Her fnco was arch uuil sweet, hor eyes bright, her hair black nnd curly. Tho wind blew her calico dress nwny from her lino figure. "And you say that she's n widow," John Conover remarked to Fergus. "Not long I venture." "Three year," said Fergus, panting n little. "Not for any fault of the b'ys. She's n little uppish, Is Nellie Carney. Phil were a fireman an' like to be en gineer wan day, but the greasers (low Coyoto pass finished him wan nlglii when they attacked tho train. Com pany gives her the rlnt nv the boose tliar, mi' sho keeps boarders for meals." That Is how John Conover met Nelly Carney. He was getting ready to go to the mines. He hail Just come from tho Eastern States and had n claim up tibout Toby's creek that Ills brother had left him when he died the year before. He did not say much about himself to anyone. He took his meals with the widow Carney for n week or ho, nnd bunked lu with Fergus O'Hare. He nald he was getting his outfit. Nellie Carney did some sewing for him, nnd they sat together evenings, while Kath leen slept hchldc them. One of these evenings John Conover seemed to be very thoughtful. At last he took a sudden resolution. "Nelly," he began, gently, "I'm going up to a rough place, but I've got n no tion to take you along." "It takes two to iiinke n bargain, Mr. Conover." "Not this bargain. I know you'll go, dear. I'm only wondering If It'll pay you. Jim always stuck to It that creek claim was bound to pan out. If It does, you and Kathleen will be fixed for life. If It don't you might have a tough time. Shall we go down to the 'Hijulru to-morrow, Nell?" Nelly took a night's sleep on It, nnd lu the morning consented to go up country with John Conover. They were married one day, and set out the next, taking the little child with them. It seemed a shame to John Conover that he had brought such a pretty crea ture to live In such a wild and lone Home' spot. She was happy enough, ap parently the same Nelly that he had seen on the dump that spring day. The more he loved her the more lie brooded over her sacrifice of a home and friends among civilized people. Ho worked hard, and the nt summer inado a good find lu a hole and sent her back to San Francisco with a small fortir and Instructions to put Kathleen Int. convent, where she could have sehoi . lug and he made a lady of for the fu ture. Life In n hotel Is n great educator. Day nfter day Mrs. Conover went about, saw great plays, read novels, visited her child, and enjoyed exist ence. She received John's Infrequent letters with a positive alarm. Suppose he should send for her to return. She could close her eyes and seo the great, dark, snow-topped mountain wnll, tho rough cabin closo under the shadow, tho brawling waters of the mountain torrent. In dreams she heard tho thrumming voice of the wind among the pine boughs, the scream of the wild eaglesthat was all. She missed John ut first with all the passion of her Im pulsive nature; but, as time went on, tho longing grew less tierce, and bIio felt sho would rather never return than to go now when life was so full of gaiety and novelty. One day Fergus O'Hnre came to see her. Tho colored servant told her with a grin that the visitor would not write his name on a card, maybe couldn't. Neily Hushed, for she knew It was but u little time since she had been Ignor ant of card formalities. She said sho would see him lu her own parlor, nnd the amused bellboy showed up the switchman. He looked rougher and iore grimy than oer. "How do you do, Fergus?" she said, with it little condescension. Fergus had stopped In tho middle of the Uttlo parlor, "Nelly Conover! 01 can't beluro It's the wime." he said, "It U," she laughed; then In her warm-hearted way, "Sit down, Fergus, Pin glad to see you. You should see Kathleen. She's n fino girl uow." Fergus would uot alt down. Ho was Ha shifted his hat uneasily. "Nelly Carney, thot wns, 01 must hurry my wurrd as Ol'vo Tim Blake In mo place down In tho yard. Ol've somo wurrd of John Conover from n dlrthy Chinese that Ol've befriended wunst or twice. He told me, Nelly Carney, thot John has made his folud at Inst, an' thot three ov the worst m!n In San Francisco are to be nfther not only phwnt he's taken oot nlrlddy, but It will be his life for his claim out there beyant." Nelly Conover hnd risen. All tho fine lady dropped from her. She rnu to Fergus and caught his hand. "Fergus, Fergus, ye're a friend In deed! Come nwny with mo to John. Get Tim, Denny and Jerry nnd one of the other boys wo can depend on. There's plenty of money. We will go faster than tiny one; O Fergus, help mo for old-time's sake." "We've no tolme thin, to lose," quoth Fergus. "For thot gang Is nwny three hours noo. Uo ready whin I come with the b'ys." An hour or two Inter Nelly was ready. She hnd been to the convent to kiss Kathleon, she had dressed herself Ii her coarse mountain clothing again. The next train north bore the Irishman and Nelly to the little station where she had decided to get off. It wnii n nlmrt cut. much nnd dnn- gcrous, thnt Nelly mndo up her mind to lead her followers. It wns one by which John Conover used to secretly transport his gold. Several times she hnd tramped with him up nnd down the pass. She calculated that sho could arrive an hour or two after tlio attack ing party If they pushed forward nil night. A terrible energy possessed Nelly. Her eyes shone with terror and anxiety. Could they reach John lu time? As they plunged onward In the dark she registered a vow never to leave John Conover again If his life was spared. Toward dawn the party were lu sight of Toby's creek. Nelly pointed with slinking finger at the hut near the mountain side. There wns a light lu tho cabin Tho party crept up stealth ily. Nelly crawled on her bauds and knees to the back window. The sight within froze her blood. John Conovei was tied and bound before the fire until he wns perfectly helpless. Three men were torturing lilm, Indian fashion, by applying burning sticks to his feet. He would not sign away his claim. Nelly drew back one second and Fer gus took her place. A settled gray look caino Into the fnco of the big switch man. He motioned the next man, nnd all drew their pistols. Fergus crept to tho door, motioning Nelly to protect herself. There wns n sudden crash-In of the door, three shots and n dash at tho window. Nelly 11 red the pistol that she held straight Into tho face of thu man who came first. t John Conover was always a badly crippled man. He had expected no succor, but he knew Nelly well enough to think she would never relinquish the claim only over his own signature, hardly then. He had resigned himself to die that she might have u fortune. It was a snatch from the grave for him. Every ono knows the Conovers on tho two continents. The claim wns one of the three best lu California. Kathleen was such a fabulous heiress she could have married a dozen titles, but she chose a plain American. She had a young half brother, who, strange as It may seem, wns called Fergus from the first. He wns a fnmoiM athlete In an Eastern college lu the '70s, and mnr rled an English girl of family. Nelly Conover, a lovely, white-haired old lady, may often bo seen In the picture galleries nnd pleasure gardens of conti nental cities, walking beside the wheel chnlr of a genial old gentleman. She kept her vow. No time since Mint awful hour on the mountain side has she been from John Couovcr's side. When lleurv Irvine Was HUsod. "I was hissed every night for a week when I was playing the provinces ahout tlilrty-fivo yearsago'Mild Henry Irving to a writer lu Alnslee's, "I was given an engagement as leading mini In a very small theater, and before I made my bow to the audience 1 learned that the man whose place I had taken was very popular lu tho vicinity, and that the people strongly disapproved of the way in which the management hail forced him to retire, so that when I made my appearance the audience showed their disapproval of the manager by strongly hlsslug the successor to their favorite, and they kept It up for n week. It was n very unhappy week for me." Tlio tMiiuo to Him. "How much for a photograph?" ho queried, as he entered the room at the head of the stairs. "My dear sir, you have made a nils take," replied the occupant of the olllce. "This Is n dental parlor, while the pho tographer Is next door." "Oh, you pull teeth?" "Yes. sir." "How much?" "Fifty cents apiece." "Well, go ahead and ynnk out one or two. It s about the same to me." Pretty Ktlir. "Corn Is pretty plentiful out here?" Interrogated the new arrival at Atchi son. "Well, I should say so," responded the citizen. "Why corn Is ro plentiful out here, neighbor, that the laundries ipu cornstarch In your shirts. It's too com mon for pudding." A Shrewd Move.

Olrl Tackles n Mldnluht Intruder un KurccH III its to Take l''lii;lit. Chester can boast of another heroine, one whose brave conduct lu fighting n burglar prevented the house of a sick friend from being roblied. Her name Is Miss Helen I.ouderbuck, uged IS years, daughter of Prof. Louderback, of Chester. Miss I.ouderbuck wu? nursing her sick friend, Miss Alice Pier son, of Ninth nnd Main streets, Chester, Pa. The latter has been sick for months and her friend has been living with her lu her Chester home for more than two months. Miss I.ouderbacb retired at 10 o'clock on Wednesday night. She sleeps In the same room with the Invalid. She had been In bed only nn hour when she heard a suspi cious noise In an outer shed. The young woman made her way down stairs to Investigate. She went to the kitchen, put the lamp on the table, nnd proceeded to the outer shed In the dark. She opened the door ami In the dim light of the moon she saw the form of a man. Almost nt the same instant she was seized by both arms In n xrln that would have made any other woman scream at the top of her voice. On tho contrary, she plueklly resisted and during the desperate struggle that ensued managed to freo herself. Thou with nil the force she possessed she struck tho Intruder full In the face. This unexpected attack from the young and fragile girl shattered the would-be burglar's nerve. The uoxt lustant ho took a header through the shed win. dow. Just as he turned from her tlio young girl sprang after him nnd suc ceeded In landing another blow on his cheek. As soon ns the man was out of the window ho disappeared. Miss I.ouderbuck proved herself dif ferent from other women again. Ao stead of spreading an alarm she fur ther displayed her coolness by re-entering the house, locking up the premises, nnd retiring again for the night. Ho cently sho related her thrilling experi ence In her own quiet way, nnd ex plained her renson for saying nothing about It before retiring, saying she did uot want to alarm her Invalid frleud, whose physical condition she thought might not have survived such n shock The modest little heroine shows indis putable evidence of her struggle In marks and bruises. Her arms nre se verely swollen and scratched from tho burglar's clutches. Guldnil by 'Wisdom, A public notice wns given In Leam ington, Kngland. not long ago, which seemed to ludlcute that the parish of St. Puul's had some confidence In Its own perspicacity as well as tin unwav ering trust lu the wisdom of Provi dence.
