"I-no-that is, I only" msnod the
littlo wotuun; and hearing Lueilla com
ing, she Hank into a chair, blaming her
self for not having wntchetl more closely
her el.itightor'.s associttes eluring tho
year.
For ali this disturbance grow out of a
poor but reputable clerk, a voung man
who had occasionally been tltrown into
the society of Miss Lueilla for twelve
months or in j, nnd luul taken tho lib
erty to full iu lovo with her, knowing
that sho was tho daughter of one of the
richest moit-hants in the city.
"It was inoxcusablo in a" poor clerk,
who kliould liavo known liis place," Mr
Richmond declared, and ho clutclitel tho
littlo perfumed billet, that had fallen in
his Iiiind, ns lio might n ncorpiou, nud
waited for the others with a look on his
fuco that told of no softe nlntr. TIii-v nt
last camo just six littlo dainty whlto
envelopes, tied together with n blue rib
bon, and wero laid nt his ilbow bv his
ib'partmg daughter,
up with a frown.
"Loci; nil tlii'sj up until F ivtitni
lioino this livening," ho said to his wife;
I will read t lii-m. Meanwhile I.tie-illais
not to fifi) this clerk upou any pretence."
And then Lueilla went down uim
her knee's.
"Oh ! dear paiia," she cried, "dailing
tiapa, please don t say I am ni'ver to see)
iiiiii ngain. 1 couldn't bear it, imlei'd,
1 cculd not bear it. Ho is poor, 1
know, but h is a gentleman, and I
love him so much, father.
"No moro of that iiliMifelity, tny dear,"
raid Mr. Richmond, riting as ho spoke.
"lie lias been artful enough to inukii you
believo ho Is perfection, I mippose.
Your p.iivnts know- what is best for
your happiness."
With tlie.e words Mr. Richmond nut
ou Ins liiil ami overcoat, und took his
way towards thoso mysterious pirciucts,
known onlv ns "the) citv.
Then Lueilla nnd her mother tool: the
opportunity of fulling into each other's
arms.
"It's so natiglitv of vou," saiil Mr.,
Richmond, "but oil, dear, I can't bhitnu
you, it wns just so with mo, I ran nway

Shu conxi'd Lucilh tii Mop crying, ftud
then went up to h?r room to put tho let
ters iu her dchk," nml as shn placetl them
in oiu nrotlv ldueoit linl., sho saw in
another a iituulli tied jukt us thot wero
and ilii'w- them out.
Thi'sii wen' lettera to Lueilla also, one
who hid received them twenty years be
Coro; nud Mie, now a nintion ohl enough
to li'ivo a daughter who had her troubles
uiifoldesl them ono by one, wandering
how it anno to ji.vm that Iuut's letters
wero so much alike'.
Just half a dozen; just tho Kime num
ber nnd much more iletiperato than tho
ones the young clork hail wtittcti to her
eliiughter. A stinuge idi'a camo into
Mis. Richmond's mind. She durcel not
opinio her husband; by no wonl or look
had she even attempted such it thing.
Rut sho was very fond of her daughter.
When sho left her desk she hooked guilty
nud fiigliteiiod, nud something rustled
lu her pocket us sho moved. Shu wid
nothing to any ouo ou tho subject until
dinner time come, nnd with it 'her hits
Uaml, angrier ami moro determined than
over. Tho meal was pusMxl iu silencv.
Then, having mljourned to the parlor
much ns nn exocutiouernnd two culprits
might havo prtxwdevl to tho gallows
Mr. Rieliinonel bonteil hlintolf iu a great

Mr. Riehmoud ivpeoted still moro
sternly: ''Titos'.) nluurd tettowif you

And then tho littlo woman faltered
out: "I that U I l-elieie, yes, I have
them," nud bho gavo him a wliito bundlo
of envelopes, enoirelcel with A bluo rib
bon, with a hand that trembleel liko nn
nsiK'ii loaf.
And Mr. Richmond dropped the first
letter, and then took up another.
'The same stutV," ho commented. "I
hopo you don't believo n worel ho savs.
A plain, earnest, upright sort of a man
would never go into such rapsodies, I am

Grout heavens! whnt impertinence to
your parents!"
"I don't remember Fred's writing any
thing of that .sort," murmurtd poor little
Lueilla. "Ho never know you would
object."
Mr. Richmond shook his head,
frowned and read on in silence to tho
Inst idient which lay under his hand.
Then with an ejaculation of rngo ho
started to his feet.
As for Lueilla, sho begun to weep ns
if tho end of nil things had como at last,
nnd to feel quite sure that if papa proveel
himself cruel sho should die.
".Six leltoM--six shameful letters of

parent. "I am shocked that n child of

As for you, I'll send you to n convent'

Hut line Lueilla caught one arm and

Mr. Richmond sat down m bin arm

"How did this occur? he asked very
sternly.
Mm. Hicliniouu retroateet into ot.o
corner with her handkerchief to her eyes
und Hobbinj' out, "1 did it ou purpose:
then paused as though hliu expected a

"You know, Llurles, sue satii, "it ts

Ami certainly, Mr. Richmond couM
not deny that. .So Lueilla, feeling that
livr internets might bo safelv left in the

the room, nt.d heard the tosult of the
little atrntngom next morning. It was

Fork Mining Company, arrived in this
city Wednesday night in hot haste from
tho mine. Scekiug out tho Prosidcnt
and Directors of tho company ho urged
ujion them tho necessity of prompt action
iu forwarding machinery, lest tho snow,
of which consldcrablo badalrcady fallen,
preclude nil possibility of transporting it,
nnd consequently of operating tho minn
to ndvantjgo the coming Winter.
The comiwnr has been pushing a road
through with the utmost energy, milling
thu forco at tho initio to that pf tho road
contractor, in order to get thu mill in
beforo tho snow can prevent. Once
thero it will renuiro only a short titim to
bet it iu motion, and it is to bo hoped
that tho "riillo" will bo mado and the
anticipated Now Ycat'j dividend be
forthcoming.
Many wonderful accounts have been
received of this niiuo binco its discovery
two years ngo ami it is only just to
say that their corrcctuem has been ver
ified iu every instance. It is n return k

moved from tho mountain and which
was brought to this city to bo milled,
yielded as a result a gold and silver
brick worth ovor $20 00 j this in a now
mill jtu.t brought lo this city nud tried
for tho first time. Resides, tlm richest
specimens had been selected by intctested
ones bofoto the rock went to the mill.
This charictor of oro is on tho top of tho
mountain part of the claim and the
quantity is simply immense ou tho sur
face. This was conceded by all who had
been to tho mlno to hegood pay ore, but
in oreler to fully test tho value ot their
possessions the Directors have, und r the
supervision of expert miners und engi
neera, run four tunnels, each one at n
considerable distance' treat the other,
each succeeding ono lower elown
tlo mountain. Each ha-i proven
a success, givini; proof ulso
that the calculations had been wisely
made'. From either tunnel pay rock
ovldeutly without end may bo extracted.
Permanent operations onc'o begun, thero
is every reason to believe that each will
grow richer as it progresses. Although
the several acsays from the first tunnel
vol led from 8300 to 1,001 to tho ton,

proper to instituto search for a silvor
