It is significant of Hartford's broad aud toleraut temperament that he did fot remind Barrington that be had previousiy predicted such a catastro- phe as had uow befallen. Neverthe- less a slight glimmer of amusement stole across bis face. "So you want wy advice, do sou?" be asked. "I should appreciate it very much," said Barrington. "Well. you shall have it," said Hart- ford laconically, rapplog the bow! of his pipe akainst the heel of his shoe. "If Jim Busby were out gumaing for me and I couldn't shoot any better clothed his varrative of the rise of Gilt Gulch there lay a re- substratum of truth, and the toMmbloation of Burrington's ingenfous *ppeatwuce with certain letters of in- troduction to financially prom- ment in Gilt Guich, which Mr. Tup- procured for him, resulted in bis speedily establishing a thriving rounded thelcurwesjust beyond the sta- tion. i A moment later Susie Cutler, ber trim little figure set off by a skilifully taflored gray traveling suit and her face wearing the look of towasd her joyfully.

He decided unhesikatingly that, not- withstanding some freckles and the tendancy of the mose to turn up, it was a rather pleasing fare to view. "So it might," said Busby slowly. "So it might." Mr. Barringten,™ "You make me nervous." "Pact is." said Busby; v1 was sort of planning to sheot Mr. Barrington." spoke very calmly and deliberately. "What!" shrieked the girl. "You have the audacity to stand there and tell me you mean to commit a cold blooded murder? Where are the po- lice? A splendid place this wust be to live in, where a man goes out to kill another as coolly as be'd eat his breakfast! "That's the way with all you folks from out Bostow way," grumbled Bus- by. "You're sltvays getting murder and jhe aduginistration of justice mived. [ ain's going to wurder him. I'm going to execute him.

"Why, we." she answered i some --that is. he"-- A gleam of compreheusdon shone in Busby's eyes. & "Come to tink of RB," said he. "I heard something about his being go- She nodded. "Fes." she answered simply, the girt." "Then" said Basby, "it's clear enough to wy mind that in interfering me from doing you a great favor. Howsomever, it you stick to it that out'~-- Ish. She transferred her grasp from Busby's arm to that of Barringion, who during the preceding conversation liad stood silent, his face white, his practice. For the most part it was work in connection with the location of miving claims, and, besides numer- ous fees in cash, Barrington acquired several claims of his own, which he disposed of profitably. In 'brief, at the end of a year Bar Hington bad waxed so prosperous as to feel himself warranted in marrying. The Knuckleville Weekly Times an- nounced editorially that it understood that young Mr, Barrington, for whom, its readers 'would remember, the Times bad predicted a brilliant career when be bang out his shingle tn Knuckle ville, was now ove of the leading men in the west, and the other village maidens were openly jealous of Susie Cutler, 'whose good fortune it was to be to 'marry a millionaire, But Susie herself bad no fllusionn than you can.and I had a comfortable little sum saved. as you bave, and there were a pretty girl in New Eng land who dido't know any better than to love me, as sbe does you, 1'd go east on the half past 2 train, and | wouldn't hurry back."

Hartford, the attor. dolent * Heart rejoiced as 'he reflected that the ten mile 'walk to Sand City would mow be unnecessary. It was just twenty-eight minutes past 2 whén of the records tbat filed documents 'con- out upon the platform. ' But 'the train which made up at Git Gulch -was not limbs trembling, cold sweat beading his forehead. "Come, Harry," she said ; Meekly, with bowed head and dow. cast eyes, Barrtogton suffered her to lead him aboard the train, which was now, the track 'being clear, abdut to move eastward. Jim Busby sat down upon the edge of the platform and burst into a roar of laughter. Long after the train had ! disappeared around the carve below the station the station master found him there, his broad shoulders stil} shaking with merriment. "Well, you doddering idiot," said the | station master, "what's the Joke™ "Ob, ain't he going to get his all right, though?' queried the mirthful Busby. "Did you bear her 'Come, Har- | ry,' him and spake him aboard the twin lke he'd been a puppy hitched to a string? He got out of being exe- cuted, but he's getting a life sentence, and that's a whole Jot worse." 4 iL Senatorial Repartes. Once in the semate chamber 'John J. Ingalls was directing some remarks to Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, The Other senator from that state, Mr. Dawes, having come in while Mr. Ia- galls was speaking, thought the words were meant for his ear, and so, inter rupting, he asked Ingalls if be was di- fecting the remmrks at him. The Kan- sas senator tumned slowly around, for Mr. Dawes sat behind him, end then, with delicious intonation, but an in- stant wit, he said, "I was directing fy remarks to the successor of Charles Sumner and not to the successor of Daniel Webster." The repartee has become traditional, and the utterance was at ounce placed alongside of that 'reply of Conkling to -Seaator Thummah, ia; I turn as | wend turn on law of Engiand--the world's most copious fount of juris brodence."
