MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY,
THE BIG Z.
Hannah Gneldt leaned upon her broom
and looked out from tho low kitchen door
across the wintry fields and ice-glazed
streamlet which lay betwe 1 her home
and tho village of Ureenock, with Its ono
tailoring spire and sloping roof and blank
whlto walls, bare now of tho summer
verdure, Bbo had done her household
work, polished overy artlolo capablo of
polish, and soaped and sanded all the rest.
At tbo last sbo had swept clean her door
stone, and now felt froo to do what
she chose, to rest or gossip or
It down to needlework, a thing
impossible to her whllo a spot be
neath her roof was out of order. Just
now sho felt neither llko gossiping nor
sewing, her heart was very full, and she
foundlt necessary to stand still and think
awhile. Only that she was not used to it
sho would havo cried, sho was to very
tad. It teemed to her that the happiest
people were those who lay In their green
graves In the churchyard, with crossed
bands upon tholr bosoms, and wero quiet
from all earthly going to and fro for ever
more Not that Hnnnah Oneldt was tirod In
body or weary with tho toil of household
duty, for she was strong In framo and her
health was perfect, as her hands wero
willing. It was on her humble heart tbo
burden lay, ber spirit that was worn with
earthly travail and caro.
"Twenty-three years today I've been
his wire. " sbo muttered, "and I'vo loved
him well, and workod hard and faithful
to keep things decent, aud it has como to
this at last. 'Things had been better,'
says ho, 'If he'd married Miss Lester.' "
Yen, that was what Farmer Qneldt,
harassed by toll and debt, had said that
very morning: and It seemed to Hannah
like the confession of a long repentance,
forced from her husband's lips at lost
"Poor man I I wish I could help him, "
she sighed, leaning ou ber broom besldo
tbo door. "I doubt he's right about 31lsi
ester. "
With that ber eyes fell and rested by
chance on the doorstep.
" I can mend that, anyhow," she said:
"and I have timo, for my work is done. "
So sbo bung tho broom up and peeped
Into her oven aud sot the kettle on, and
then, hooded and shawled, crossed over
the fields to where tho farm Joined that
of Simeon Gray.
On one spot were men nt work break
ing up the stones lying about. Hannah
Qneldt nodded to tho old farmer and ho
catno to meet bar.
"I want a tmootl stone, "sho said.
"May I havo one."
"I wish you'd tako'em all," said the
farmer, "a lot of rubbish. You see I'm
clearing away what they call the old
graveyard at last. Wife talks to mo o'

"No. I want n step." said Hannah.
"That great white one is Just the thing. "
And she pointed to a slab hard by.
"Ike shall bring it over to-night, " said '
thu farmer. ,
"No, " said Hannah, "I can roll It along.
I wish I could tell what that was," sbo
said, "fromo one's age and noma Ah I

Iho other sldo clean and white, and fitted
it into place.
She received littlo credit for her work, 1
Oliver ouly muttered:
" You needn't havo published the fact I
couldn't atlord a porch to tho place. " I
And no ono noticed tho step afterward ,
save Haunah when sho scrubbed and I
swept it.
Matters were very bad at the Oncldls.
Oliver brooded over tbo fire in qpeochleia
sorrow und grew grayer and balder with I
each passing day. Hannah kept ruin oir
a little by making a home of the bumble .
faro by her houMWlfq'i skill. Sho might
even havo been cheerful but for the mem
ory of that luekleus speech. '
Working in her garden ono day, when
me nrsi spring grass was growing green,
Hannah beard footsteps, and, lifting her
head, saw two gentlemen beside hor, and
arose precipitately, with womanly anx
iety about her ankles, not strictly cov
ered, perhaps, by her cotton gown. Tho
nearest gentleman, an elderly man, with
bright, dark oyes, addressed her.
''ilra. (Jueldt, I presume. "
" Ves sir. "
Sbo rnkod him to walk in and he did
so. the other following. In the little
parlor thoy sat down.
"You nro Mrs, Hannah Qneldt, Oliver
Qneldt wife."
"Yes, sir, It Is about about excuso
roe, you look like a lawyer, and I fear It
Is mora troublo for poor Oliver. "
" 1 tassure yourself, madam. " said tho
gentleman; "reassure yourself, maduiu.
Your husband Is not concerned, b&vo
through you, and that, I hope, pleasantly.
Your name was Burns before you were
married?"
"Yes, sir, Hannah Burns. "
"Do you romomber dates well?"
"No sir. "
"You havo, perhaps, a record of family
events, your own birth, your parents'
marriage, your grandfather's death?"
Hannah Unuldt wonderiucly replied, "I
havo father's Ulblo, and they tell mo It's
all there. "
"How far back?"
"To grandfather's birth, I bollovo j
Grandfather Hums. Ho had ono child; ,
and I am the only ono my parents over
had. Oliver set down our wedding day
and our two boys' birthdays. "
"And our great grandfather tho
record of his death is thero?"
I don t know; you may tee. Walt,
I'll call my husband. "
Uolug to tho door, Hannah took down
a horn, used for that purpose, and uttorcd
a call, which brought Oliver Qneldt homo
from tho field at once.
He also felt alarmed, but explanations
qulotod him. Almost as astonished as his
wife, he brought out the Bible.
"Tho death of my wife's great grnnd
father, ebulon Burnt, Is not hero, " bo
aid. "Tbo tlrst record is in his hand, I
believe. It Is tho birth of his oldest
child. "
So It Droved, and the lawyer looked
disappointed.
"You can not remember the day of hit
death?" ho said. "I mean tho dato of
It."
"He died long before I was born, " said
Hannah, "and, though rich, left nothing
to grandfather. They had quarreled. I
believe. He told old stories of him. He
must have been very eccentric, and a
servant or housekeeper had groat influ
ence over him; she had tho property,

too much, mind A will in your

Hannah clutched ber husband's hand
"it was written by ono on his
denth bed, dated tho 10th of March, 17,
and leaves all his property to your father,
his grandson, then a boy, llushl don't
ho,,e too much, Margery Wither or her
heirs now hold this property under a will
dated March 15, 17."
" A later will, " said Oliver. " Then, of
course, they aro rightful possessors.
What need of all this? Tho latest must
stand. "
"Not If It Is a forgery, " said tho law
yer. Oliver laughed, tho hitter laugh of care
ati-l disappointment
"Who can prove that?" he said.
"No one. Vet the rocord of his death
might. A man whoso dying hand signed

mako unothor on the lfitu. Wo bellovu

ment, slneo the discovery of the ono I
have spokon of. Margery Wllbcr took
po'sesslon with legal forms, for no ono
appeared to test hor title. Whero was
your greatgrandfather burled!"
"Here," said Hannah. "They say
ho was brought down at his request
Mrs. Wilber as chief mournor, and his
son grandfather not oven sent for. An
old. graveyard somewhere. Oh Oliveri
Olivcrl" Sbo turned quite white and
uttered a cry. "Oliver, that must bo tbo
graveyard on Gray's place that he dug
over last winter in tho warm spell. "
"Then It is gone, " said Oliver. "And
our last hope with it No, gentlemen,
good luck could ucver como to us. l'ov
erly means lo cling to us to tho last, I
wish you had better clients. "
"Oliver! Oliver'" gasped Hannah
C ncldt, "tell mo ono thing, ebulon Is
spelled with a 'I, isn't it? Oh, do speakP
"I think you aro going mad, Hannah;
of courso it is. "
"Oh, the blgZ, I remember it so well
and know It was Z; and it would have
been broken to pieces boforo now. Oliver,
don't you remember my doorstep that you
were so angry at? I do bellovo it Is my
poor old great-grandfather's tombstone.
And not to know it when I stared at the
great JCI"
Oliver Gneldt tald nothing. Ho feared
his wife's brain had turned, and that
made him faint and cold as ho followed
her Into the garden, and there watched
while tho three others lifted at the flat
slab.
It lay befi'oj them on tho green spring
grnss, black letters on tho whiteness, and,
bending over It, they read aloud:
"'ebulon Burns. Born May , Died
March 14, 18." With eulogistic verses,
with long s's underneath, as in duty
bound. -
"It's poor greatgrandfather's", said
Hannah.
The lawyer extended his hands, grasp
ing those of Oliver and his wife.
"Tho proof is found I" he said. "Tho
latest will is a forgery, for it is dated the
day after the old man's death. Mrs.
Gneldt is heiress to a large property. I
congratulato you."

year round, for ho has a breed that re
fuses to "go dry, " and ono that has sur
prised tho world with hor immensa yield
of milk. After nn experience of several
hundred years ho has learned to makij
tho best cheeso that Is made In any quar

world over.
For this cbceso ho has a fixed, certain
and remunerative market, and sells it each
week and pockets tho cash. His cattlo
have become almost m well-known as his
cheese; consequently the increase of
his herd arc sold at the most
fancy prices. Ho makes butter as well
as cheese; ho makes cheeso from milk
after tbo cream is taken off, though its
quality is not ranked as tho best. These
cattlo rtipport the thickest population In

Mexican l'ecollarlllo. or Character. i
, Boston Cimmerda! Bulletin.) '
The Mexicans exhibit perplexing ele
ments of character. They arc industri
ous, but not thrifty. While Mexico is
the market for the thoapest and most in
ferior goods, tho population Is addicted to
vanities of a luxurious aud costly nature,
to which tho import trade contribute
very littlo except jewelry. Hats of uncut
felt of grey colors, and udorncd with silver
embroidery, costing $0 to $50, nro every
where met with. Saddles and bridles cost
ing from $ 100 to $C00 are in general use.
The country is full of small silver coin
used for buttons, and often as ornu
ments down the outside scam of tho
pantaloons. The national vanity shows
itself among the beggars as well as the
most protiigatc class. Women will go
without food, or reduce their subsistence
to beans and bread, to take chances in the
' lottery, and tho men will expend their
last dollar on a magnificent sombrero.
1 No country aflorus a more deeply inter
esting study, and whllo it is dtitlcult to
perceive that it is making any progress nt
all so far as regards the great body of the
population, it is easy to see that it is pa
tiently ovolvlng Ideas of what a better
1 condition means. The chronic disposition

and Americans alike, while it adds to tho
cost of every article In trade, is not wholly
without reason In this peculiar climate
At tho high altitude of the American
plateau. 7,000 to 0,000 feet above sea
level, along which the Central railroad is
built, tho air is thin and dry, intensely
rarifled. evaporation is rapid, oppression
of tho heart common to all strangers, and
physical and mental exertion has limits
that seriously interfere with business
energy. Tho fact is so pronounced that
it is something of n problem itself with
" out reference to other obstacles whether
any foreign colonization will ever sustain
itself on this plateau.
