The way I came to know him was this, he used to come to go down in our shaft along with us. A great deal of folks used to do that ; what for I could never guess. It was a black, ugly place, and the folks that wcrked in it were black and ugly too. I used to think, at times, I was the blackest and the ugliest of the lot. Big enough I was--strong work. And I'd had a little schooling. I've wished 1 hadn't often, for 1 was rea- ding Sundays and nights that put uncom- fortable notions into pry mind. What notions ! Well its hard to say--notions about being rich and fine and all that. I think I wanted to be like him. His hands were white as a lady"s--white and plump and dimpled where the joints were, His hair was soft ; his dress was fine. He had more money than he could manage, apd he never went down into the mines without giving the man who took him a chance for a spree that might. | Generous and jolly, and éould sing like a We used to hold our breaths to | bird. listen to him sometimes, down there. It us, and go down in the bucket, and pick out bits of ore, and make the echos an- swer him in the galleries. And I asked him what he saw in it ; and he said, * A new sensation, I like new sensations." Perhaps they are likeable to some--I 'N 3 gh for our I might have heard more, but I didn't dare. How could he make her happy, ex- cept in one way! He Lad told her he loved her, and she was glad. No wonder he felt so; no wonder she liked him--so fresh and fair and handsome--better than me. But, you see, we had been a great deal to each other, and I didn't dare to say. I might have killed him. I ran until I got to the hill top, and then I stopped and looked back, and siw them, Bessie and him. He was a standing looking down at her. She was 'ooking at him. I shouldn't have minded that half so much. She was a looking away in that kind of fashion that someone's eyes were on her the way his were. Handsome and straight and fair; no grime of ore on him, no muck on his gentleman's clothes, or his gentleman's hands. And II looked down at myself, and I looked back on him, and I cursed him. Good Lord, forgive me, I cursed | him ! 1 didn't know how wicked I was, just then. The last look I tock I saw him, still as handsome and gay as ever, smiling down on Bessy. At noon that day I didn't go home to dinner. 1 was swinging in the bucket, at the edge of the mine, when I saw him coming. "I'll go down with you, Jeff. Dodge," he said. " I'm off to-morrow, and this is my last look at the mine. I've something to tell you, too." "The same news isn't likely to interest us both, Mr. Lyons," I said. *' You'd better go down with Jack Dug." I felt afraid to trust myself with him-- afraid to look at him almost. He'd have been like a child in my hands, and Satan was close at my ear. But he, with his great linen duster over his fine clothes, and an old miner's hat on, jumped into my bucket. * Now take me down to your Inferno, my good demon, "he said. ** I am ready." "I'd read enough to unkerstand him. " I'm more like a devil than you guess," I said fiercely. *' Do you think yourself an angel 1" : " Why, Jeff, are you angry 1" he asked "I've never put you out with jokes before." 'We were half way down the mine, and Satan was in the bucket with us--Satan in the shape of jealousy. I clutched him with my great black hands, and tried to fling him over the side of the bucket. "Tl send you to heaven, my angel," I yelled. "It was a bad job for you, coming down Here with a devil. I warn- | ed you." | He struggled with me, but I was twice his mafi.

You see, Bessie and me had been keep- ing company a bit, and, to my thinking, there wasn't anything of equal value to her in all the world. I meant to marry her, if she'd have me ; and I thought she would. They were people that had come out to the mines on a venture, when she was but a mere slipof a girl. And her mother she took some of the men from the mines to board. I was one of 'em. Black enough we were, but their house was trim and clean. Bare boards and rough | blue dishes, but clean as clean. And : sertain b: | " . rson can ascertain by asking the following | there were vines over {he po h, 3 afew flowers in the bit of a garden, though it wasn't growing soil, so near the mines. And 'though Bessie had but bitie check for every day; and calicoes for Sunday, why, she was alwiys trim. There wasn't | many women in those regions you could | say thet of, I can tell you. Lord bless yon! How fond 1 was of her! Ever so tired, and ever so choked and mucked, the thought of her came to me as sweet and as pure as ever. And I used to think, perhaps I'd get away from the mines some day, and I'd live in a place fitter for her; along with Bessy. But even if I stayed thefe, I could be happy if she was minded to stay with me. And 'she was, and I knew it, until he came. And it had gone ona while, and 1 got frightenod. Stupid as I was, you know--slow to see things, until it came over me all at once : he's making love to ber and then--she likes it. I couldn't eat that day; I couldn't sleep that night; I couldnt talk. I did my work like a machine, without thinking of it. And T began to watch and wait, and listen, and to see more of it. He went over there to the widow's a good bit, and others knew it, if I didn't, and some said Bessie would make a great match, and some said he meant no good. All the ¢ hatter of the women seemed to get to me at once, and then there came days when life was no good to me--only a curse. Until a day came when, creeping softly about the house to listen to what he was saying to her there at the well--he leaning upon my hands and my clothes Was no- J thing to the black brand of murdr upon my soul.
