"Will the fireman live?" Alfred asked, while Esther helped him into hlfc coat. "We think so, but can't tell surely, of course. Poor fellow! He's con­ scious now." The sympathy in the man's tones brought Esther's tears. "Could I do anything? Some--" she began haltingly. "I'm sure I can," Alfred exclaimed, half rising again. The brakeman waved him back. "Miss Anthony, don't let him! He had a pretty good shaking up himself; but that's nothing to what he did. No one knows how he ever pried that wheel off from poor Dooly's leg; but he did, and held it free till we came, the sun broiling him like a beefsteak, and Dooly begging all the time to be put out of his misery. That's enough lor one day. You keep him right here." •_ Alfred tried vainly to stop the story. The brakeman finished, prompted by Esther's eager, appreciative face. Yet he left them shortly, and the train started. Then Esther turned toward the cabbages. "What in the world--" Alfred began'. "I'm captain' now," she interrupted. "I'm going to make you comfortable before the last shred of daylight goes." "It won't be dark; there's a moon." "Much light a four-days-old moon "Will give!" she scoffed. "But I'm comfortable now, If you will only come and sit beside me." Heedless of his importuning, she continued piling the cabbages away till one forward corner was bare. "What's that for?" "You must sleep; and It will be bit­ ter cold. This is--" "Sleep! Sleep to-night, with you here? Never!" She smiled at him, yet persisted, throwing the soft grass in the corner, smoothing it carefully. "Come. Let me help you over here. It is too cold there by the door." "Dear tyrant!" He smiled happily, and pulled himself up by the door­ handle. But he was unsteady, and would have fallen had she not sup­ ported him. For once she was grate­ ful for her strength. "Lie down. I think you'll find that a tolerable substitute for a hair mat­ tress." "The worm turns. I won't! I'll sit down, though, and in that corner, if you'll sit beside me." She demurred, to indulge him final­ ly ; and, seated side by side on the floor, with cabbages tumbling about their feet, they wandered in Arcadia. Amabel, Esther's hiding, Alfred's cap­ ture and illness, his search for her, college and business life--it was a tale of the years told by the light of the thin desert moon. But Gideon's part in the story Esther modified, allowing Alfred to be­ lieve that her flight from Colfax had been the impulsive result of fear for him, as was her wild race to Virginia City. "Life beginB now where it forsook vs years ago when Amabel Hamilton asked me to button her shoe in the Colfax parlor." "No. Life does not forsake, it tests «s," Esther replied. The engine wheezed, puffed inef­ fectually, and stood still. "Oh, can there be some new trou­ ble?" cried Esther. "I guess by the sound they've only stopped for kindling wood." Alfred sur­ mised. Esther looked out. Men were run­ ning here and there about in the brush, more discernible by ear than by eye. They filled their arms with towering loads of sage and returned with them to the engine, crushing the pungent stuff into thu firebox. Slowly the wheels began to turn. The men kept alongside, piling the tender high, till the summit was reached. Three times they had thus to reinforce their small stock of green Sierra wood be­ fore the journey was ended. The night grew colder. When the st«Mnt HiU the biting air swept through and chilled the two in spite of the glow at their hearts. Esther bustled about, chafing his hands, pro­ tecting the wound in his head with jtier handkerchief, and tucking in the blanket more closely, while he surrep­ titiously pulled it loose, that it might be tucked again. A vagrant lock of her hair brushed bis face as she leaned over him. "Tell me, Stella, what have, you done to your pretty hair; something's turned all Its gold to--to dark, au­ tumn-tinted brown. It's lovely, though." "Not I. but the ialt Pacific, turned my gold to rust. It treats nearly all desert gold so, especially if the gold is on young heads." At last they touched more serious things. "But don't you know how you came to be liberated from that awful place?" "No," Alfred replied to her question; "nor how I came there. I only know that after Cadwallader, Gideon and 1 had looked over Gideon's prospect we climbed down the mountain to where the horses were tied. Mine was gone." "Only yours?" "Only mine. 'We'll look up your nag,' Gideon said; 'you stay here.' Cad­ wallader came back alone a little later to see if my horse had returned; but prised him with a box of candy from I did have one escape there; it might have been my end. One night a ruf­ fian caught me from behind on a dark CStreet; and some one else immediately : Wrenched him away and whispered in »y ear, 'Run!' I haven't the slightest idea who either of them was, though I've tried hard to discover the man -who saved ,me." Esther listening, breathless, knew it must have been Gideon; but she was ' mute. A chill hand oa her cheek startled her. "Out of the blanket against or­ der^!" she exclaimed. "When ditl ytfti eat last? And please keep the blanket snug," she coaxed. "This--ndf, yesterday morning. I re­ ceived a message to come on to the Front at once, just after arriving at Elko from another trip; took the first train out, which happened to be the iron train; did telegraphing at Toano that used up my dinner time, and-- you know the rest." Esther detected growing weakness in his voice. "I must get you some supper--breakfast, I guess it will be.** she said decisively. He laughed. "From were?" "From our larder;" she answered jauntily. "Fortunately, it is full, and raw cabbage is digestible." She pulled open a head, and Bhredded some of the crisp center Into the hollow of a large leaf. "Now, you are to be full of faith--'faith is the substance of things hoped for--you must believe this an elegant repast. Also be sentimental, fancy the touch of my--supply your own adjectives-- the touch of my fingers adds a most piquant flavor. No; I shall feed you." "I'll behave if you'll tuck me in again," he said with mock humility, taking the white bits from her fingers. "Why, it's good!" "Certainly. I intended you to say that. Don't be in haste. You were very hungry. I've dessert, also; this is to be a course dinner." She sur- 111 m right to taste of heaven; I've bee* cheating you." he finished ruefully. "1 think--I think I'd rather be so cheated than have any other man's honesty." she said, with her firsl touch of shyness. "Yet you must now know the truth about me. I ought to have told you before. My father thought me a thief, turned me adrift, iorbade me to use his name. Until I can prove him in the wrong I cannot offer you the only name I'm willing you should have." "But how could he call you a thief? He ought to know you simply couldn't steal.. You steal!" Her eyes blazed, and she lifted her head proudly. Her dear faith warmed him, yet his voice was sad. "No, I didn't steal, but I caused some one else to do it. And my fa­ ther had every right to believe me guilty." His voice dropped; his eyes were shadowy. "But you never meant to! He should have known that," Bhe persisted ve­ hemently. "God knows I didn't mean it; but fire burns, whether one falls in or jumps in." He gazed past her into the dim desert. She caressed his cheek, but was si­ lent. "It's a long story--I'll tell it all some day. You'll like to hear about Max, Max Ober, my life long friend, as his father and mine were always friends. They were poor boys together; bht my father grew rich rapidly; Mr. Ober has always been poor. Yet Max was his ICE JRU3T MAGNATE SENTENCEO TO FIFTEEN YEARS. A. H.

Perhaps it was only minutes, it seemed hours, that I wandered around, when some­ thing hit me on the head. The next I knew I was in an old tunnel, chained to the heavy timbers." "Oh, oh!" Esther moaned. "I was well in from the mouth, and only a little light came in by day; at night it was Egyptian darkness. Some one brought me food. Food!" he re­ peated with a shiver. "What I didn't eat tasted best." "Oh, my poor love!" Esther mur­ mured unsteadily. "I counted the days at first, then lost the count. That terrified me more than all the rest." "How long was it? You learned afterward?" "Nearly a month." "Don't you know where th^ place is?" "No. No one does, except the mis­ creants who put me there." "They have never found--don't they know?" Esther faltered. "Not a word. I never saw my jailer. He used a dark lantern and came only at mght. I never heard his voice; he always whispered. I think he was an Indian. The night he freed me and told me to go a gun at my back hur­ ried me, warned me neither to look around nor speak. 1 hastened along a steep path that led from the mouth of the tunnel. Dearest, you can never know what rapture it was to see the stars again! I can only guess how far I went before I fell, striking my head. When I recovered consciousness I couldn't stand, but crept on slowly in the darkness." Esther stroked his hand softly, but did not speak. "I don't know how far, or what hap­ pened. I--" v "And then?" she questioned as he halted. "The hospital at Sacramento. I opened my eyes to sanity more than three months after the trip to Gid­ eon's mine." "And you've been in danger since, many times, haven't you?" "Oh, no; not often.

He was taking a lover's way of making her retract the lowly name when a distant gleam warned him of the journey's end. "There's Toano! We'll be there in 20 minutes! I haven't said half I wish. Oh, my darling, I'm just the same nameless man! I've nothing to offer you. Will you wait still a little longer? Stella, I've no tried to prevent Max and me from recognizing the ptfrt that money played in our lives." "How foolish!" "Worse! It was criminal. I was the older, the leader. Max's model. He came to college when I entered my junior year, and I took him at once into my own rollicking clique. We weren't vicious, only silly, indulging in various costly pranks that seem to spring from a young cub's desire to destroy things, the same whether it's boy, bear or pup. Afterward I knew how Mr. Ober had crippled himself that Max might return my dinners at five dollars a plate, or light his Ha- vanas with currency. Remittances from home did not begin to suffice. Max borrowed heavily, his association with me making that dangerously easy, and left college when I did great­ ly in debt. We both entered my fa­ ther's bank." A double whistle warned them of the approaching station. "Oh, it was the same old story," /1- fred continued hastily. "Mr. Ob£-, broken in health, called for a part cT Max's salary. Max, beside himself, falsely proud toward me, and genuine ly anxious to spare his father, shunned* eviry one, pinched, paid a little, bui nc-^ fast enough. Then he began to gamble, successfully at first, but after wards losing; and then he plunged and dipped into the bank's till. I hap pened upon him one night after ail the others had gonev He was toiling feverishly at his books, a loaded pistol at his side. I forced Jrom him the whole story." He stopped, and Esther saw his jaw set sternly. "Yet you, Alfred--" she began, but he went on without heeding her. "For the first time I realized the moral obligation money imposes, the Mephistophelian part I had played in Max's life. I beat down his objections, made him transfer to my account his doctored bank record and pledged him to secrecy. Since we had been fools together we should repent together. I hadn't a tenth of the money needed to pay; but I would tell my father, ask him for time to work out the deficit." "And wouldn't your father?" Esther began indignantly. "Before I could explain, the secret expert discovered me, reported to my father. He refused me a hearing, dis­ owned me, commanded me to drop his name, a name all Boston honors. That hurt worst of all." He finished and dropped his eyes. "Alfred, don't look down, look up! You've done a grand, a heroic thing! No matter how long we have to wait!" She rose to her feet, her face glowing with love and pride. He stood beside her, cheered by her eager approval. "I said it was the stime, but-'It isn't; I'm thousands near­ er.

Wounded by Eccentric Stenographer, Who Then Commits Suicide. New York.--Edward M. Morgan, postmaster of New York city, was wounded in the abdomen Monday morning by a bullet fired by E. H. B. Mackay, an eccentric English stenog­ rapher, who then committed suicide.

When the real test came, however, it was the husbands and not the wives who proved the comforters. Morse sat like a stole when he heard the words which condemned him to prison. There was scarcely the tremor of an eyelid, and to those who watched there was no longer even the shadow forty smokeless cartridges, a heavy slungshot, a knife with a four-inch blade and a clasp knife.

There was a determined-looking woman on the far end of the seat of the car, and as the conductor began to pass along the running board to collect his fares the colonel got out his own nickel and asked the woman if he should pass hers. "He'll get no nickel from me," was her brusque reply. "Excuse me, but I thought you had to pay." "Well, you watch out and see whether I have to or not. If I do then there'll be such a ipw on this car as you haven't seen for a year." The conductor came along and the colonel handed over his fare and watched. The man stood for a mo­ ment looking the woman in the face, and she returned the look without flinching. Then he seemed to sigh as he panged on. "Didn't I tell yon ao?" chuckled the woman "He must have suspected that you were ready for a row," answered the colonel. "You bet he did. I told him last night what to expect."
