Chloe Hathaway sat in the firelight one cool, autumn evening, her head rest ing on her hand, and her dark eyes fixed thoughtfully, almost sadly, on the dying embers. It was her twentieth birthday, and her thoughts involuntarily wandered back over the year that had just passed. What a long, dreary, hopeless year it had been, she thought, and a little bro ken sigh fluttered from her lips. These last two years had been like a great barren desert, with no oasis no bright sun showers to refresh them. And yet no one suspected that Chloe had a "skelleton in her cupboard." She was always, when in company, gay, light hearted and cheerful always ready to laugh at, and make light of trouble of all kinds; and though she counted her lovers by the score, she kept them ail at a safe distance, and solemnly declared she would never marry. "Put Chloe," her uncle with whom she lived, and who was her only rela tive would sometimes say to her, "ynu will surely marry some time for 1 am old and can not live always, and what would you do without me, dear?" "I'm sure I don't know, Uncle," Chloe would answer wearily. "I only know that I have a horror of marriage, and never even give it a second thought ex cept when you compel me to. Please let me stay with you, always, Uncle I am perfectly contented to drift on in this way forever." But there had been a time when Chloe was 18, when life 'was not the dreary, aimless thing to her that it was now; when her heart beat lightly and joyously, and existence itself seemed a pleasure. She thought of it now, and sighed; it seemed so long ago so many bitter changes had come since those halcyon days. When Chloe was only eighteen, she had met Will Boone handsome, noble, intelligent just such a man as women fall in love with in spite of themselves, and almost unconsciously she had given him her heart. And he, handsome, polished man of the w'Ad, though he was, learned in a few, short months, to love this little, pure, wild flower tenderly, and truly with all. the ardor of his strong, passion ate nature. For one short summer they had drifted on in perfect happiness,forgetting every thing and everybody but themselves and their golden dreams living only in the present, forgetting the past, and caring not for the future. Ah! mo thinks such days have dawned for all of ns and were they not brighter, purer, better than any we have known since then? "Ah! for the golden days!" But autumn came, and Will was compelled to return to the city. But before he left, he told Chloe that he loved her, and slipped flashing opal on her finRer. "If you love me, darling," he said, "wear it till Christmas, when I will re turn I can say no more till then." And then he had kissed her and left her, and Chloe had worn his ring be cause she loved and trusted him. In side the ring was engraved the quaint, old-fashioned motto, "Mizpah," signify ing, "The Lord watch between thee and me while we are absent one from the other." He had promised to write her, but not one line came from him; yet she waited patiently, trustingly, feeling sure that in the end it would all be right. The weeks passed away, and Decem ber came, and the days dragged slowly by. Christmas morning dawned clear and cold, and Chloe entered the break fast room and took her place, with her heart in a flutter of feverish hope. He would come to-day, she told herself con fidently. Then the mail was brought in two or three letters for her father and one far herself, and as she glanced at the post mark her heart gave a joyful bound, for it was from New York. She opened the envelope and two cream colored cards fell into her hand; one bore the name, Miss Lizzie Combs, and the other Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Boone. And poor Chloe, without one word, slipped down, white and sense less on the floor. "Great God!" cried her father, "I have killed my child my little Chloe!" And when, an hour later, Chloe came back to consciousness and life, she found herself an orphan her father had fallen dead as he uttered that tmguished cry, "Great God; I have killed my ohild!" He had always been subject to heart dis ease, and the sudden shock had "loosed the silver cord," and poor Chloe was fatherless as well as motherless. Her uncle immediately came, and after the funeral, "carried her away to his own elegant luxurious home in the city the same.'city where Will lived with his beautiful bride, who had taught him so soon to forget poor little, dark-eyed, faithful Chloe. But she learned that Will had gone to Europe, and would not return for two or three years; and so with a dreary hope less despair settling over her heart, she "took up the burden of life again," and none of her fashionable friends or ad-, mirers dreamed she had a deej deep grave in her heart, in which she had buried her first and only love; for un like men, a woman can never forget the man she has once loved. And as she sat in the firelight, this evening, thinking of the bitter past, and still more bitter future, the door opened softly, and her uncle entered and seated himself beside her. - "Chloe, my dear," he said, gently drawing her head down on his shoulder, and softly caressing the dark, waving hair. "I want to talk to you awhile. Have you given Mr. Hampton his an swer yet?" "Not yet, uncle," replied Chloe, wearily ; "he is coming this evening." "And may I ask, dear, what your an swer will be ?" "I intend to reject him," said Chloe, hesitatingly, "for I do not lave him." "My dear child," said Mr. Hathaway, "I beg you to pause ere you reject Guy Hampton. He is (he noblest man I know, and very wealthy besides. You understand my wealth will pass to my sister when I die, and you will be com pelled to earn your own living. I can not be satisfied until I see you provided for. O Chloe ! if you would only marry Guy ! Nothing you could do would make me so happy as this, and I am sure you would care for him in time." It was the first favor he had ever asked of her, and Chloe felt that she could not refuse. After all, what did it matter? Will was dead to her forever ; and as he had been false, .why should she remain true to his memory, especially as her uncle desired it so much ? He had done so much for her, and it seemed so un grateful to refuse his first request. Here her reflections were interrupted by the ringing of the door-bell. "Chloe," whispered her uncle, shall it be as I wish? Dear, I wish it so. much !" Just for a moment Chloe was silent, and a convulsive shudder passed over her. Then she said slowly, "Uncle, it shall be as you wish," and kissed him. He returned her caress and left the room, and a moment later a tall, noble looking man entered, and with a heavy heart Chloe arose to meet him. "Chloe," he cried eagerly, clasping both her cold hands in his, "O darling, do not keep me in such suspense. May I keep these little hands forever ?" "If you wish, Mr. Hampton," said Chloe, hoarsely. And as her lover took her eagerly into his arms, and pressed warm, passionate kisses on her beautiful face, she closed her eyes resolutely upon the dreary, hopeless, aimless past, and resolved to make a good and faithful wife to the man who loved her so fondly. And just then her opal flashed red in the firelight, and a line of an old song that Will used to sing, rang through her mind, and her sad heart echoed, "Ah! for the golden days!" Mr. and Mrs. Guy Hampton were spending their honeymoon or moon shine, it might more properly have been called in this instance in continual traveling, but at last, Chloe grew weary, and they stopped at Saratoga to spend the summer. The first evening of their arrival there was a ball at the hotel, and they went into the ball room and at a late hour, Chloe looking radiantly beautiful in her pale pink satin and opals; her cheeks were flushed slightly, and her eyes flashed with a bright, restless fire; only the weary, hopeless drooping of the scarlet lips showed that her heart was not in this gay scene. She had danced several times, and was sitting quietly, talking with a friend, when her husband's voice suddenly aroused her. "Chloe," he said, "let me introduce my old friend, Will Boone!" Chloe lifted her eyes. One wild, startled glance into the cold, handsome face of the man she loved, and then she slipped quietly down off the sofa into the arms outstretched to receive her the arms of her first, false love. Twice in her life had Chloe fainted once when she found that her lover was false, and now that she found that lover before her. Her husband took her hastily from the arms of his old friend; the usual restor atives were applied, and Chloe was soon herself again. "My poor little girl," said Guy, ten derly, "what could have caused it? the heat and excitement, I dare say; and as soon as you've spoken to Will, we will leave I know you are tired !" "Indeed I am not," returned Chloe, bravely; and then, with a little cry of surprise, she held out her hand to Will Boone. "Why, I'll declare!" she cried, "if it is not an old friend of mine, after all! Why, Guy, I knew Mr. Boone two or three years ago! I'm so glad to see you," she went on, hurriedly, for she felt that her courage was failing her. "Is your wife here ?" "jky teifeV repeated Will, while Guy burst into a loud laugh. "I have no wife, Chloe." Chloe's face turned ghastly white. "No wife?" she gasped, "why; Will, you sent me your wedding cards !" "By George !" exclaimed Guy, ab ruptly, "I'm engaged for this waltz!" And the unconscious, blundering fellow hastened away, and with a long drawn breath, that was almost a groan. Will caught Chloe's hand, and,' hurried her into the conservatory. "Now, tell me," he exclaimed, with great beads of perspiration on his brow, "what you mean ?" "I mean what I say,'' replied Chloe, faintly. "Did you not send me your wedding cards ?" "NO!" thundered Will. "Then O, Will, why didn't you write?" "Because your father curse him told me yon were engaged. I did not believe it at first, and wrote you again and again; but when Christmas came, your father wrote me that you were mar ried!" Chloe, Chloe, say that it was not true !" "It was not;" Chloe was weeping now. "I loved you all the time, Will!" "And he your father curse him! " He stopped abruptly, as Chloe put out both white, trembling hands. "Chloe, darling," he said, hoarsely; "you are Guy's wife, and he is blameless we must not forget that! God help us to live our lives nobly, despite this great wrong! "Oh, Chloe, my darling," he cried, holding out his arms, "come to me just once you belong to me I have a right to hold you. But poor Chloe shrank away. "Lead me not into temptation !" she murmured, with white lips. And just then Guy came rushing in. "Hello!" he cried, "are you two talk ing over old times? Come Chloe, this is our dance.'' "One moment," said Will, as be shook his friend's hand, and then took Chloe's in a long, painful clasp. "I leave in the morning. Then his eyes fell upon the flashing opal, and he added, brokenly : 'The Lord watch between thee and me while we are absent one from the other." Chloe never saw him again. 1 wonder, are such wrongs righted in the Beyond. No Judge op Watermelon .

If a boy has marked out a glowing future as an intellectual giant, it is dur ing these early years of his growth that he gets some pine knots to burn in the evening, whereby he can read Herbert Spencer and the Greek grammar, so that -when he is in good society he can say things that nobody can understand. This gives him an air of mysterious greatness which soaks into those with whom he comes in contact and makes them re spectful and unhappy while in his pres ence. Boys who intend to be railroad men should early begin to look about them for some desirable method of expunging two or three fingers and one thumb. Most boys can do this without difficulty. Trying to pitch a card out of a job press when it is in operation is a1 good way. Most job presses feel gloomy and un happy until they have eaten the fingers off two or three boys. Then they go on with their work cheerfully and even hilariously. Boys who intend to load an irreproach able life and be foremost in every good word and work, should take unusual precautions to secure perfect health and longevity. Good boys never know when they are safe. Statistics show that the ratio of good boys who die, compared to bad ones, is simply appalling. There are only thirty-nine good boys left as we go to press, and they are not feeling very well themselves. The bad ones are all alive and very active. The boy who stole my coal shovel last spring and went out into the graveyard and dug into a grave to find Easter eggs, is the picture of health. He ought to live a long time yet, for he is in very poor shape to be ushered in before the bar of judgment. When I was a child I was different from other boys in many respects. I was always looking about to see what good I could do. I am that way yet. If my little brother wanted to go in swimming contrary to orders, I was not strong enough to prevent him, but I would go in with him and save him from a watery grave. I went in the water thousands of times that way and as a re sult he is alive to-day. But he is ungrateful. He hardly ever mentions it now, but he remembers the gordian knots that I tied in his shirts. He speaks of them frequently. This shows the ingratitude and natural de pravity of the human heart. Ah, what recompense have wealth and position for the unalloyed joys of child hood, and how gladly to-day, as I sit in the midst of my Oriental splendor and castle magnificence, and thoughtfully ran my fingers through my infrequent bangs, would I give it all, wealth, posi tion and fame, for one balmy, breezy day gathered from the mellow haze of the long ago, when I stood full knee deep in the lukewarm pool near my suburban home in the quiet dell, and al lowed the yielding and smoothing mud, meek-eyed pollywogs to squirt up be tween my dimpled toes. f Denver Tribune. The BrumQela Case. The Kansas City Journal of Septem ber 30th, mentions a suit pending in the Circuit Court of Jackson county, Mo., which, as it is of interest to many readers of this coast, we reproduce as follows: "A petition was niert in tne uircuii Clerk's office on the 27th of September by Nancy M. Brumfield against Samuel Lewis Wolf, in which she prays that tho title of the Brumfield homestead bo di vested from said Wolf and vested in her. The plaintiff charges in her petition that the property was the home of herself and former husband long before his DESERTION AND SUBSEQUENT MURDER In Washington Territory. That on or about the first day of August last, when Brumfield was making secret prepara tions to leave her and decamp with his daughter-in-law, he obtained by fraud and false pretenses, her signature to a deed conveying this property to the de fendant, Samuel Lewis Wolf. But the plaintiff further avers that no considera tion was paid or ever lias been paid by the defendant for this property. That the deed to him was fraudulent, and made with the understanding that he was to reconvey the prop erty to Brumfield in person, and thus defraud her of her rights. That he was only holding the property in trust for Brumfield's sudden death only prevented him from conveying the property back to Brumfield. The home stead is valued at $5000, and lies east of Kansas City on the Blue river. The suit will come up at the next term of the Circuit Court. The remarkable story of tho infatuation which Samuel Brumfield, a rich farmer, conceived for the bride which his son brought home one day; the manner in which he had AIiSE WARRANTS SWORN OCT And ostracised his son from fear of the law; then quietly disposed of his prop erty and eloped with his daughter-in-law, is familiar to all the readers of the Journal. He was joined by his friends, Bud Thomas and his wife, and subse quently the bodies of Brumfield and his mistress were found in Washington Ter ritory, and Bud Thomas and his wife came back here, and were soon after ar rested for the murder. The story is one of the most remarkable in the annals of crime." Thomas and his wife still lan guish in jail at Walla Walla, awaiting the tardy arrival of the day which will send them to the gallows for an awful crime, or give them back their long with held liberty. An expert in the oil boring business was sent to this State by California capi talists to make search for indications. He went in various directions and made close examinations without .success, until striking the coal, gold and limestone re gions of Butte creek in Clackamas county, where excellent indications were found. It is probable a well will be bored to the depth of about 1200 feet as an experiment. That is a mineral sec sion of the State, as soda and sulphur springs abound. Uoal, limestone, gold, marble, etc., are also found in limited quantities.
