The fnrrgmund was a glaringly fresh and unplcturesque ndnliiK town, whose lrrcffulnr attempts at repulnrlty were aet forth with aU the cruel uncompromising clpornesa of the California atmosphere. There was the straight Main street, with Its new brick block of "stores." ending abruptly agninst a tangled bluff; there was the ruthless clearing In the sedate pines where the hideous spire of the new church Imitated the soaring of the sol emn shafts It bad dlnplaced with al niost Irreligious mockery. Yet this fore ground was CUsy's world her life, ber sole girlish experience. She did not, however, bather her pretty bead with the view Just then, but moved her cheek up and down before the glass the better to examine by the merciless Klnre of the sunlight a few freckles that starred the hollows of ber tem ples. Like others of her sex, she was a poor critic of what was ber real beauty and quarreled with that peculiar tex ture of ber healthy skin wblcb made ber face ns cloquMit In ber sun kissed cheek ss In her bright eyes and expres sion. Nevertheless she was somewhat consoled by the ravishing effect of the bowknot she had Just tied and turned away not wholly dissatisfied. Indeed as the acknowledged belle of Canada City and the daughter of Its principal banker small wonder That' a certain frank vanity and childlike Imperious ncss were among ber faults and her at tractions. She bounded down the stairs and Into the front parlor, for their bouse pos sessed the unheard of luxury of a dou ble drawing room, albeit the second apartment contained a desk and was occasionally used by Cissy's father In private business Interviews with anx ious seekers of "advances" who shun ned the publicity of the bank. Here she Instantly flew Into the arms of ber bosom friend, Miss Plney Tlbbs, a girl only a shade or two less pretty than herself, who, always more or less 111 at ease In these splendors, was awaiting her Impatiently. For Miss Tlbbs was merely the dnttghter of the hotel keep er, aud. although Tlbbs was a south erner and had owned "bis own nig gers" In tbe states, she was of Inferior position and a protegee of Cissy's. "Thank goodness you've come," ex claimed Miss Tlbbs, "for I've bin slttln here till I nigh took root What ker yer "How does it look?" responded CI say as a relevant reply. The "It" referred to Cissy's new bat, and to the young girl the coherence was perfectly plain. Miss Tibbs looked at "It" severely. It would not do for a protegee to be too complaisant. 'Hem! Must have cost a heap & money." "It did." said Cissy. "Came from tbe best milliner In 8nn Francisco." "Of course," snld Plney. with half assumed envy, "when your popper runs the bank and Just wallows In goldT "Never mind, dear," said Cissy cheer fully. "So'll your popper some day. I'm going to get mine to let your popper Into something ditch stocks and such. Test True. O king! Popper'll do any thing for me." sbe added a little loftily Loyal as Plney was to ber friend, sbe was by no means convinced of this. She knew tbe difference between the two men and had a vivid recollec tion of bearing ber own father express his opinion of Cissy's respected parent as a "gold sbnrk" and "quarts miner crusher." It did not, however, affect her friendship for Cissy. Sbe only said. Let's cornel" caught Cissy aronnd the waist, pranced with ber out Into tbe veranda and gasped, out of breath, "Where are we going first V "Down Main street," said Cissy promptly. "And let ns stop at Markbam's store. They've got some new thing In from Sacramento," sold Plney. "Country styles," returned Cissy, with a supercilious air. "No. Beside Mark ham's head clerk I getting toe presumptuous. Just guess! lie asked me. T.hile I was buying something. If I enjoyed the dance last Monday." "But you danced with him," aald the Simple fluey In astonishment. "But not in his store among hi cus tomers." said Cissy sapleotly. "No. We're goli g down Main street past Beeamp s. '1 hose Secsnip girts are sure to be at their wludows looking out This bat will Just torn 'em green greener than ever." "Toti're Just horrid. CIssT aald Ft aey. with admiration. j "And then." continued Cissy, "we'll just sail down past the new block to the pardon's and mske a call." -Oh. I see." an hi Plney archly. "It'll lie Just about tbe time when tbe new engineer of the mill work baa a clean Shirt on and Is smoking his rtgae be fore tbe office." Cissy tnased her bat disdainfully. "Much anybody cares whether he's there r not. I haven't forgottea how be shewed ns over tbe mill the other day In s p: !r of f.rrslls Just like a workman." tt u u : BY..- BRET HARTE tt Copyright.

That was Just to show that be didn't cars what we thought of h Ira te' that conceited! And It wasn't r pectiui, constaenng one or to direct or was there, all dressed up. Don't tell me! You can see It In his eye look ing you over without blinking and then turning away as If he'd got enough of you. lie makes me tired." Plney did not reply. The engineer had seemed to ber to be a singularly attractive young man, yet she wa equally Impressed with Cissy's superior condition which could And flaw la ucb perfection. Following her friend down the steps of the veranda, they passed Into the staring graveled walk of tbe new garden, only recently recov ered from the wild wood, Ita accurate diuuiond and heart shaped beds of vivid green set In white quarts border giving it tbe appearance of elaborately Iced confectionery. A few step farther brou. 'ht ttem to tbe road and the wood en sidewalk to Main street which car ried civic Improvement to the hlUsld and Mr. Trixlt'a very door. . Turning down this thoroughfare, they stopped Inuiing and otherwise assumed a con scloiia. half artlilclnl air. For tt waa the hour when Canada City lounged llHthVHly before Ita shops. Its saloons. Its otilccs and mill or even held buy meetings In tbe dust of the roadway, aud the passage down tbe principal street of Its two prettiest girl was an event to be viewed a If It wa a civic procemion. Hats flew off aa they pass ed, pliice was freely given, impeding barrels and sacks removed from the wooden pavement and preoccupied ln dwellera hastily summoned to the front door to do homage to Cissy Trixlt and Plney as they went by. Not bnt that Canada City In tbe Here and unregen erate days of Ita youth had aeen fairer and higher colored faces, mors gayly bedlaeued, on Ita thoroughfare, but never anything so fresh and Innocent They stood there all unconsciously reverencing tbelr absent mother, sis ters and daughter In their sponta neous homage to tbe pair and seemed to feel tbe wholesome breath of tbelr eastern home wafted from the freshly Ironed skirt of these foolish virgin a they rustled by. I am afraid that neither Cissy nor Plney appreciated thla feeling few women did at that i time Indeed these young ladle assum ed a slight air of hauteur. "Really, they do stare o," said Cissy, with eye dilating with pleasurable emo tion. "We'll have to take the back street next time." Plney, proud In tbe glory reflected from Cissy and In her wn, answered, "w will sure. There wa only one lutermptloo to thl triumphal progress, and that was ao alight aa to be only noticed by one of tbe two girl. A they passed the new works at the mill the new glneer. as I'luey bad foreseen, was leaning against tbe doorpost smoking a pipe. He took bis bat from his head and his pipe from bis mouth aa they approached, greeted them with an easy "tiood afternoon," yet with a glance that waa quietly observant and toler antly critical. "There," aald Claay when they had passed, "dldnt I tell you? Did you ever see such coo celt In your born days! I hope yea did not look at him." Piney, conscious of having don ao and of having blushed under bla cru tiny, nevertheless stoutly asserted that abe bad merely looked at him "to aee who It was." But Cissy waa placated by passing tbe Secant pa' cottage, from whose window tbe three strapping daughters of John Secamp. lately an emigrant from Missouri, were, aa Cissy had surmised, lightening the household duties by gazing at the, to them, un wonted wonder of the street Wheth er tbelr complexions, still bearing traces of tbe alkali dust and Inefficient nourishment of tbe plains, took a more yellow ton from tbe spectacle of Cla ay' bat I cannot aay. Cissy thought they did. Perhaps Plney was nearer the truth when sbe suggested that they were only "looking" to enable them to make a homemade copy of the hat pext week, Tbelr progress forward and through tbe outskirts of the town was of the same triumphal character. Teamster withheld tbelr oaths and their uplifted whips as tbe two girls passed by, wea ry miners tolling In ditches looked up with a pleasure tbst was half reminis cent of tbelr past younger skylarker stopped In their horseplay, with bait smiling, half apologetic faces; mors ambitious riders on the highway urged their horses to greater speed under tbe girls' Inspiring ryes, and "Vaquere Billy," charging them fnll tilt brought up bis mustang on Its bsntM-he and rigid foreleg, with a sweeping; how of his sombrero, within foot or their art fully slmnlnted terror. In this way they at last reached the riearin la the forest the church, with Its ostentatious pi re. and Bev. Mr. Wlndlbrook' dwelling, otherwise humorously known aa "tbe parsonage," where Cissy In tended to call Bev. Mr. Wlndlbrook had been as serted by his ecclesiastical superiors to minister to tbe spliitnsl want ot Can ada City as being what waa called a "hearty" man..

The paradis were complete, especially tbe stock trocesions. The bate ball game between -.the Portland and Spokane teams was tbe beet ga ne ever aeen iu the Couutv. Neither of the team bud before played upon grounds as good as Rec reation Park and they played a tStH .O OiaiOii. AC low eliu ut (ue eleventh Inning the score atood 4 to 4 a tie. It being train time, the gime wa supeoed. Queen Annette I. held herself in readiness to answer all demands made upon her by the Carnival Com mittee aud she was frequently ou the street attended by her royal guards and Daces. The queen drove ber own chariot while the guard march ed on either side, commanded by Mr. II. T. Bagley and seconded by Mrs. Beckwith, Oie incident oc curred that caused lauchter on the side of the spectators sod chargln among the guards. The Royal cort ege rested on Main S'.reet, between First and Second, during the Fire men's contest. When I tin excite. raent waa at the highest, curiosity took possesion of tbe guards and they boltwl, leaving their mistress uniruarded save by her two faithful pages, . The gathering last week inu-t not be confounded with tbe fairs we have been accustomed to attend Fain are held for the exhibition of product, when exhibitors compete for premiums. Carnivals sre gay festivals for noicy sports, Both ideals weie combined last week, fur the committee having the unange- ruent sought to entertain the visit ors. This It Is believed they did The money at the disposal of tbe committee was so small a sum that cash premiums could not be award. ed to visitors The comtuittee elect ing to charge no entrance or gate fees bad no source of revenue and had to depend upon voluntary sub scriptiona for money to defray in cidenlal expenses. Diulomss were awarded to all meritorious exhibits, r a partial list of which is given this week.

They fay that they need a Marshal and Recorder's Court for protection agaiust drunken characters and travelers who are passing through the t wn. Alex Delore, a resident of the Suplee country, was held by Judge Rulison. to answer to the Circuit Court, on a charge of assault "ith intent to rape on the person of the wife of A. L. Smith, a resident of the same community, says a C nyon City correspondent. His bond was placed al $300, which he readily gave.
