Itself up, wiped the iillcili (hi at from ItN

ice water taok and wink buck to the floor

"The poor critter' 'bout done up," Haid
the man from Texan; "where'H my IliwkP"
"Whoro'd you igut the poor cuhn?" iwked
the Ban Francisco drummur, wiping Urn

"Found him on the brake beam when we

"Great heaveiml you don't mean to say

ejaculated the drummer. "Oh, Lord! and
I've beeu Bitting here jjnin.bl.iif; about the
heat and the immu decreen of fate. Poor

"He's all right 'till we get to El Paio,
now," remarked the conductor. '"Gaiimt
the law to put a man olT at this part of the
road. Put a peddler off once; found hid
puck and a flue akuletoii a wrntk later."
The tramp at lout regained bin breath,
and the tender hearted Texan assisted Jiim
to a neat.
He won a ruun of middle ars, with a
stubbie tward utid a grunt acur rumiing
diagonally across his forehead, from the
scalp to the right oheok. Ilia clothes, or
totters, denoted him a tramp u western
tramp at that.
"Hungry?" uwked the Texan.
"Hed nothin' for thirty-six hours,"
"Gontlimioii," remarked the Texuu, "a
stranger's ut yer door."
"Yer all white," Haid the tramp a half
hour later, oh he pulled a match out of his
pocket uud used it for a toothpick.
"Gent lemon, you'd hardly think 1 owned

"Thut'sa pert.y tough wipe you've got

spectfullyeyiiig the near across the tramp's
forehead, "lie thar an lujuu story tharr"
"Kuw."
And the tramp looked out of the window
with a wistful ex premium on bin scarred
face before proceeding. .
"ThutHcrape never come from an Injun,
fit come from a U runner, and bin houcH huv
beeu picked long ugo by the cayoies out
thar."
"Taint ofteu I tclla my woes, 'cause no
body beiieveH my story. Would you like
to know why I'm wuarinn rugs aud ridtu'

"In the year 'flfl I wan u young until
studyiu' law in Huston, with e, good pron
pectn ahead v,v, any muu ever hedatorohim.
I hed junt come to fcr live thounaud by the
ileatliof an uncle, the lost of kin. One
evening, ut a nociul hop, I mot Marydou'i
matter altout her other nameand wall,
'twas a cone of love from the word go. She
wiw a rich man's daughter; my wmth.h
didn't go for much 'gaiimt the tfoveruoi-'s;
but thuu I hed pronpuctn.
"Thing went on ez slick e ponniblefur
a time, when my health failed, aud the
-doctors ordered reHt and change. The gold
fevor struck me, aud 1 made up my mind
one day to dig -for a fortune in Calit'oruuy,
and get my.heulth in tliu bargain. 'Course
Mary cried, ami I givu up the trip twice,
but finally got ntarted.
"Gentlemen, I loved that gal uf ever mor
tal loved any critter on God's green earth I
I used to lie under the great nty roof on
the prairie ut night, wrapped in a blanket,
atarin' at the HtarM, building great big gold
oaflOleH, and ninny's the time 1 turned my
lions' heud round to go back to Mary. ,JSf
I had gone back I'd never been here.
"Wall, I reached the diggingn finally
And located a claim e.t Gold Hill, and in nix
months laid uway quite a pile, 1 wasn't
much on drink then, au'd I didu't hev the
red nose I ha' now.
"One day a letter come telliu' me the
.governor hed dropped nil he owned in the
loss of three ships. Thin didu't bother me
much, 'bout three mouths skipped by,
and another come which made me wild.
The letter was all full of love aud tear
tains, and said that the man who had
saved the governor from complete ruin
wanted to marry her. , Hha objected, o'
oourno, and the old man coaxed ami
stormed, aud the uew lover waited, wist
ful like.
"I was (or golu' home, but Mury said no,
et 'd spoil my chances.
"Wall, the end come at lost. She mar
ried him. The newn daaed me et Grst, for 1
couldn't gdtet through my head. Then I
left the diggings for uowhere, and ended
up well, 1 dually j I tied a party of scouts,
and wandered over the western oouutry
fig lit in' lujuus.
"Two years Inter I was one of a party of
ten proHpectin' in .the Walmntcb moun
tains, In Utah. We had settled fer camp
one evening in a natural oave not far from
a, precipice, from whar we could look in
the valley and over about two miles to the
tuge cpttcji .trail, wlndin' In an' out 'tween
the mountains. "
"Iwasntandln'on a rock lookin' at the
valley underneath, when 1 saw the stAge
coach way up on the trail, roundin' the
bluff. I called the hoys tocomeaud nee et, fer
et was Bomethin' to see in them days. We
squinted through ou' Kinases at the coach,
and waved our hats, though we knew they
couldn't see. Suddenly one of the boys said
In an an excited way, 'Boys, they're goin'
to be attacked; see them forms dodgin' in
an' out round thet bluff?' 'Sure enough,
said the whole crowd, 'but how are we goin'!
to warn them?' We stood thar hesitatin''
until we saw the coach stop; then we ail
made a rush together for the trail.
"Took us over an hour to get thar, and
we found the women huddled against the
oliff, the driver and two men shot, and one
woman gone. They'd been attacked by
Molva, a Mexican hu If breed, and his gang
of cutthroats. The men, headed by the
husband of the woman Molva had stolen,
had followed the band in pursuit. The
busbund of the woman, the women said,
wus about crnzy wi1 grief, and ned he'd And
her If he hed to blow the mountain sky
high to do it.
"Captain Watson headed our party, and
he knew every nook in the rauge.
"'I'll bet my boots,' said the captain,
thet they've gone over to Boar's Head
canyon; ef we can't find them thar we'll
look in ot the cave on the western slope.'
"We didn't see nothin' suspicious et the
canyon, and, after a hard pull, reached the
cave. We were climbin' along the top o'
the bluff, when the capt'n suddenly whis
pered a halt, and we all laid low, 'Twas a
starry night, and the capt'n had run across
a hole in the turf where smoke was comiii'
out In clouds. Tills wus the chimney of
the cave fifty feet below in the bluff.
"The women said thar was fifty in the
party; we 'lowed they were mistaken.
After some parley the capt'u hit on a plan
which might work. Thar were ten o' us;
nine war to stay on the bluff while the
chimney was being choked, while one,
which war me, wan to crawl down to the
entrance 'o the cave, and when the crowd
ruBhed out 1 wun to skip in and ffrab the
woman. The boys above would tire on thfa
crowd and get, thar attention to thet point.
"The plan workod. I wan all safe behind
a rock at the entrance when four or five of
the gang come out wi' thar hands to thur
epes, cough in'. The boys on top begun
firiu', and nooa the whole crowd come out
In a hurry. Took me about two necondn to
get inside the cuve, ThesmokeuearstifJed
me, but 1 crawled to whar 1 could hear a
woman eoughiu'. Didu't take me lung to
get her out. The woman was hangin' on
me, half dead, and 1 was toilin up the side
of the bluff, when all o' a sudden we run
right agin the big Mexican. He grunted
somethin' in Mexican, and felt fer us. His
hand touched the wpmau. Theu we closed.
1 tried to hit him with the butt of my re
volver, but a downward ntrokeof his arm
knocked it dyln', Then I reached fer my
bowie, and, while doing no, got this wipe
across the face. I wan about blinded, but
I got in a lunge on him which fixed him.
I lost my head then, and the boys found
me lying right on the Greaser. Thewomun
was gone; no one had seeu her. The boyn
found he.- the next day lyiu' et the foot o'
the bluff dead. She'd ruu off thar in the
dark. 1 wan lying in camp when the hoys
brought her In, an' I must ha' been perty
weak, fur the mi net I caught Bight o' that
face, all bruised aud cut, 1 fainted dead
away. It was Mary. 1 nevur told the
boys. Her hunbund carried her away; but
not 'fore I touched my sin stained lips to
hers. He didn't suffer more'n 1 did, fer I
hod to hide my feelin'. Her husband wan
a wealthy mine owner, they told me, and
hed taken his wife with him on one of his
business tripn.
"All the money I hed hoarded up went
like mist arter that. Bomutimen I've beeu
on my feet since, but uut fer long at a
time. Luck's man me. I like the life
though. I've been in ninny a ncrape, but
allun come out o. k. P'rhni I hevn't hed
enough trouble to please fate.''
"Mind telling me the mime of the mine
owner!' asked tin drummer.
"No; Silas Lar,,iu," answered the tramp,
raising his head from his hands.
"Of Boston f"
"Yea."
"One of the richest men in Boston; know
him well," remarked the drummer. "By
Georgel I'll write to him; he'll put you on
your feet in good shape."
The tramp raised himself proudly to his
full height.
"Partner, you may boa white man; bo Ihi
1, and I don't want no help from thet quar
ter; I'll starve fust."
"Kl Paso," called the brukemnn.
"Whar yu be goin' to)1" asked the Texan.

Hungary' Ooruuutlun Mound.
It seems curious that au event which
made so much noise all over Kurope, no
longer ago than the year 1853, as the dis
covery of the biding place where Kossuth
had concealed the crown of tit. Stephen,
should lie so completely forgotten as your
correspondent seems to think. I was wit
ness many years latter, when in Hungary,
of the veneration with which the ancient
regalia of their nation were stilt regarded
by the people. It wan quite the policy of the
revolution to prevent the empetor of Aus
tria being crowned with so revered acrown,
but since he has worn it their loyalty, so
long withheld, has been faithfully kept by
the vast majority. The regalia are now
preserved under the most jealous guard in
the burg of Budn.
The ceremony that is performed ou the
Royal Hill is not exactly what the writer
describes. The candidate for coronation
does not have to "pull a nod," but he rides
to the top of the mound, wearing the re
galia, aud with the sword of St. Stephen
In his baud takes the coronation oath,
waving the sword ut the same time toward
the four points uf the compass.
The actual mound has been at Pressburg
for centuries. It is composed of earth
brought from each of the fifty-two prov
inces of Hungary, in quantities relative to
the sine of each; It is about fifteen feet
high (speaking from memory), and is in
closed by a handsome stone balustrade.
As It was deoidud to hold the coronation of
the present emperor at Bu da-Pea th, a pre
cisely eimilar mound was built up there,
some of the earth from the original one at
Pressburg being incorporated into it.

Bell-praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man will
doubt his word. Now, to say that All
cock's Porous Plasters are th'e only genu
ine and reliable porous plasters made is not
self-praise in the slightest degree. They
have stood the test for over thirty years,
and in proof of their merits it is only nec
essary to call attention to the cures they
have effected and to the voluntary testimo
nials of those who have used them.
Heware of imitations, and do not be de
ceived by misrepresentation. Ask for All
cock's, and let wo solicitation or explana
tion induce you to accept a substitute.
