Toe lily and rose In her face itreeUy met Till she eeemed one of those You could never forgk Her face wa a vision N'o art could portray. And her smile more elyslan Than a tnornics In May. Soon the beanx who came near her Were forced to believe That ihe made hereelf dearer To simply deceive. Her eyes were of blue. And divine were her lips. All the Ktrls that I knew She had thrown in eclipse. Just to capture a beau Were her sorceries set. So was one, now I know A consummate coquette. Raymond's Monthly. LOVE'S SACRIFICE. A llttlo restaurant overlooking the San Antonio river. Two men, with chain tilted back and fuet against the proteotlna rail of the balcony, were smoking their evening cigarettes. Both were roung and of goodly presence. Western suns and winds had tanned their cheeks and borneA i in the rod of youth to a rich tropio hue. Aoross the brow of one a brow whose boyish contour moved women with mother instincts to sudden longing to caress lay loose waves of soft, yellow hair. Beneath looked out eyes of dark gray, heavy with tho long thoughts of those early, deeper to days days when a republic worked out in blood her long probation. The other had a fairer countenance, more lightsome and full of happy promise. Superadded tonight to his natlveexuber anoe was some foreign ellment of joyous ness which seemed to master spirit and muscles alike. Ho was full of movement. Tossing away a half finished cigarette, ho clasped his hands back of hut curly head and broke the silence with sudden speech. "Ned, I am too happy to smoke. I am the happiest man in all this borderland. Nellie Hemdon has promised to be my wife. It's a secret yet, but Ioouldn't keep it from you any more than I could koop my love from her. There is not another woman like her north, south, cast or west. Did you ever notice tho gold of her hair? It is like sunshino spun Into threads, Whon evor I look at her I think of some quaint old words my mother used to read out of a book long years ago whon I was a boy back in my old home. They went this way: 'Whose shoe latchet I am not worth to unloose.' I suppoao tho preachers would call that irreverent, but God will bear mo witness there's no irreverence in my heart when I think of her." At Harvey Armstrong's first words tho color was washed out of Ned Foster's face as with a spongo, his very eyes seaming to pale. Bringing his chair to the ground, con. ceaiing his face with his hand, he leaned over the railing and looked down into the sluggish waters of the river flowing a few feet below. As thought piled itself upon thought and Foster saw torn into shreds tho boaa tiful fabric of a dream that he, too, hod woven, with this woman for its center, he forgot that heaven held his mother and lifted up hiB heart against it and against his fellow man. But, thank God, it was only for ono fleeting moment. Remem bering whose bravo right arm had five years before at tho battle of San Jacinto intercepted'the Moxionn bullet aimed at his own breast, he was able to turn away from the dark suggestions and give back unabated love and sincerity into the ex peotant eyes of his happy rival.- ' Good for you, old fellow," he said as he extended his hand, "May you have oenturles of happiness. God knows" with a look of tender loyalty bis friend never forgot "if any man deserves her it is you, Harvey." This was in tho summer of 1841. In the autumn of 1849, when Presidont Houston ordered out General Somervell to the Kio Grande to organise troops and avenge the Insulting raids of Vascraez and Woll, Ned Foster was among the first to respond to the call for volunteers. About 180 miles south of Saltilio on the road to the City of Mexico is an old fort known In history as the Hacienda Salado. The high walls, built In fortress fashion around an Immense square court, arc well fitted for defense and In times of war are used for snch a purpose. This one stands in the midst of a sandy plain whoso dreary stretch of gray is bro ken here and there by patches of bunoh grass and tufts of stunted sage. To the east and west are mountains, and on the dividing ridgeS are scattered lonely pines. To this place on March 86, 1848, were brought the rocaptured remnant of the unfortunate Mior expedition, that gallant band of 800 men, the flower of western militia, who went forth to do battle for the honor of the young republic and were so treacherously dealt with by the follow ers of Santa Anna, to whom they surren dered as prisoners of war. All readers of history know how the terms of the treaty were broken and the betrayed men shown no mercy, but marched into the Interior, subjected to inorcdlblo hardships and finally Imprisoned miles away from home and friends. All this Is history, but we have no writ ten record of that Interval between the es cape and the recapture when the little com pany wandered, lost and helpless, among th featnnaasi of unfamiliar mountains, no record of those 10 days and nights when , the sun rose and set out to mar auuiuer and darker experience In the calendar of human pain. Ned Foster and Harvey Armstrong were among the number. The latter naa, in tho ardent spirit of the times, also answer- nd the far err of the borders, leaving the . young wife so lately wed to watt in prayer , and tears a soldier's uncertain coming. . For four days the weary and footsore band traveled down a deep canyon, whose steep sides narrowed and narrowed until they closed and barred them In. Then the retracing of those same steps! On and on, I in the sllenoe ana gioom ui v, nt niitnre. without food, with ont drink, tired In limb, weary and daied in n.lnd, their tongues purpie ana swouou ,Mt v. wins In fancr the Sower strewn prairies of their beloved Texas and the f ind hearnrboatlng a welcome there, still opening up new trails and pushing n ti lth thti eounure and faith that made the martyrs of the Alamo and the heroes of fvtn Jacinto. tr.rvov fell exhausted intheshade of a tree and bogged bis comrades to leave bim, but his friend lifted him up, whis pered n magic name and bade him preason. . . tutth jta tnMV On tbe evening ui were met by a body of the Mexican cavalry and bidden to halt and give up their arms. Half starved and dying, they were Tex ans yet, and their brave commander re fused to do s i except under treaty stipula tions. A treaty was drawn up, and once again false vows were pledged by Spanish lips. nacer was not reacneo unui sunset ot tho next day. By that time only four of tho men were able to walk. Harvey, among many others, had fallen and been lifted and strapped across saddled horses nml thus brought into camp. After a three' days' rest, in which their half spent lives were restored by those arts of healing to Mexicans known so well, they were carried, handcuffed in pairs, into Saltilio and thenoo to Salado. Tho hoary wall of the old hacienda looked down In sinister strength as the thinnod ranks filed In. Eight Mexicans were outside digging a trench. Ned ex changed a look with Harvey, his compan ion in irons, and whispered, ' That means death." He was not wrong. At 9 o'clock of the same day the prisoners wore ordered ont and ranged in double line against one of the walls. The officer in command then read the written decree of Santa Anna, president of Mexico, a decree which pronounced for theso men a fate so ingenious in its tor1 ture to mtnd and body that it might have been conceived In tho subtle brain of a Herod. Every tenth man was to be killed, tho decision to bo made bv lottorv. Into a jar were to be dropped 10 beans 163 white and 1? black. Each man was to take out a bean. Those drawing the black ones were to be shot before the sun went down; the rest spared death, but retained ns prisoners. On March SO the roll was called. As each hand was slowly lifted and poised for ono single instant above the mouth of tho jar life and death must have met and uuulo salute. The game was for souls, and the dlo was a Mexican bean. Foster's name was called near tho last, and be carelessly dropped In his loft hand with porcbanco a rcmluisconco of childish days whon he had done such things "for luck" and found he had picked up a white bean. As ho returned to his place Harvey passed him, and Ned saw in tho whlto drawu face of his friend no sign of fear, but the mental anguish of Gcthsemano. What was It ho had said last night in ono of tho pauses of that long march J That perhaps oven now a baby voice was waking faint echoes In his Httlo homo and that tho anxiety ho was bearing for another was sharper with pain than any physical torturo he had experienced. Nod looked at tho smooth while oval of the vegetable seed In his hand and made a resolve. When ho looked up, Harvey was just raising his hand. Ned noticed how it trembled. Whon tho lingers were withdrawn, there was something black outlined against their bloodless tips. The change in his face was as of death. With a quick movement toward his friend Foster mode a sadden thrust and gesturo, and hew it was done no one' ooald ever explain but after tho slight confusion and peremptory orders to fall In line Harvey was seen standing In his old place, staring with bewildered gaze at a white object In hie open hand, and Ned, erect and calm, with brow of more than mortal beauty, awaiting the signal of death. As soon as Harvey regained control of his confused faculties he made frantio, pitiable efforts to communicate with his friend, but was silenced at tho point of n musket and compelled to throw himself face downward with the rest, while tho 17 doomed men were led forth, bound to gether with cords, their eyes bandaged, and shot repeatedly until lifo was extinct. They asked the privilege of bolng shot from tho front, but were refused and mado to sit upon a log near tho wall with their backs to the oxecutioners. Six woro taken out first, then six more, and then five. Darkness fell "like a great funeral pall as the last shots were fired, and stars shed their holy candlo rays upon tho dead tho dishonored dead lying in one great heap, body piled atop of body, There live today those whoso eyes look ed upon that scene, and although the suns of more than 50 summers have slnco swung above the fort, and rains beaten upon it, and winds tanned its rugged sides, it stands today and will stand for all the tomorrows, grim and changeless, in eternal penance, marking the spot of a butchery so Inhuman that it Is worthy to mate with the murderous deeds of Nero. It was not until months had passed months spent In Irons In tho Castle Perote, City of Mexico that Harvey Armstrong was released and permitted to return homo to his wife and child. And what a changed and saddened man it was who held that wife In his arms and looked down through tears upon the face of his firstbornl Servile labor and hnrdsbips had whitened his locks and weakened his frame, and thoughts unspeakably sad had aged and furrowed his brow. When he told Nellie about Ned, she bid her face upon his breast. Not even to her husband must be told the secret of that loyal heart, which woman's Intuition re vealed to her so long ago. Looking up through tears, she repeated In awestruck tones: "Greater lovo hath no man than this, that a man may lay down his life for bis friends," and softly laying the ohild In Its father's arms sho slipped out of the room. Their little daughter bad been born on tho evenins of that fateful day, March 2 and It was a loving oonoelt of the parents that the baby soul, coming down irom Oodj had met that other sonl ascending an(1 baptized In Its immortal neauty and radiance, Million.

Maud Muller ou a summer night went out ou hei bike in bright moon light. She pedaled around from 8 to 10 oa a trip that would fag the strong est men; but her heart was tight and her spirits gay, for it wasn't work, 'twas uotliiug but play. Next morn lug, however, she'd a patn In her head; she was nil i!uyed out and stayed in bed, while her mother hustled in the kitchen betow not to ride a wheel but to make things go. Though the the nmruing was hot ami she w rked by the lire, she didn't collapse with a punctured tire. Alas for the girl and the woman, see? Things are not as they used to be. Snt lee. To the stock holders of the Lane County Mining Company: There will be a meeting of the stock holder of the "Lane County Mining Company" at the ofllee of the secretary In Kugeut Ore., on the 2Sth day of September, 1805, at 7 o'clock p. m. sharp, for the election of five directors and tho tran sact km of aueh business as may come before the meeting.

There has been considerable, controversy in As toria about Mr Hammond, the railroad builder. The Astoriun interviewed Mr Lockey, a prominent neighbor of Mr Hammond in Missoula. Here are some of bis answers: "I have had a warm acquaintance with Mr Ham mond for 25 years, though I have net been associated with him In business, Mr Hammond, and hts large Arm, hav a reputation in Montana of car rying out to the letter aSS their oMi g.itions. They have had ample means with which to do so, and have never failed to make good their word In the past. I saw Mr Hammond yesterday, and he was feeling better, though he has been somewhat under the weath er. He is expecting to return to As toria In a few days. He Is a very busy man and has many interests to look after besides the Astoria road. While my conversation with Mr Hammond was only that of one friend with an other, and of a most general character, yet from what he said he Is going to push the work with vigor and no doubt the contracts under considera tion for the ten miles for which bids were recently called will be let In short order. You will find one thing, however, that be will surely conduct bis own business on his own plans and in his own way. He and his Arm always have done so in the past and will probably do so now," Prtnevllle Review: From a private letter from Mrs T A Uren, written from Now York City August 28, to her parents In this city, we learn that Mr Uren and family left New York on the City of Paris, August 2, They bad visited Niagara Fails, descended the winding stairway and passed under neath the water as it felt over the precipice. Mrs Uren describes it as a truly wonderful eight. They ex pressed themselves as disgusted with tbe smoke and dust of the large cities east but were sti Id the best of health. Removed. Dr. 3. C.
