"Chicago News-. -JOE LANGDOp LOVE. BY FRANK SHERIDAN. "Isn't it lovely?" "Purty as a pictur'. There ain't nothin' that lays over an October sunrise on these mountains. Look at the mist risin' from that cascade t'other side of the valley. Makes a rainbow. You kinder take to this sort o' thing, don't you, Miss Pembroke?" "Oh, yes, indeed. I am a worshiper at the shrine of nature. One glimpse of such scenery as this is to me worth a journey .across the continent," and the truth of Miss Pembroke's assertion was reflected in her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes. They were 011 horseback, and had halted on a high plateau where the sunrise and this choice bit of mountain scenery had burst simultaneously upon their view. To look at these two riders one could not avoid the impression that both were some­ what out of place in each other's«society. One was a beautiful young lady, fresh from the heart of ultra-civilization, with an un- mistable air of culture and high breeding; the other was a hardy miner, whose knowl­ edge of the world was confined to the wild, mountainous gold regions of California and Nevada. One had a slight willowy form, displayed to good advantage in- a neat-fit­ ting habit of some rich material; the other revealed a tall athletic figure, clad in gar­ ments that were coarse and unpretentious, but by no means unbecoming. They had met by the merest chance. A Earty of tourists froip some Eastern city ad stopped for a month at the little town of Bla/.eawav, and Miss Pembroke and her parents were the party. Blazeaway, one year ago, had been nothing more than a mining camp, but it had grown like a mushroom in the night, as it were, and had become so popular with travelers and pleasure-seekers that a passa­ ble hotel was now one of its most import- tant institutions. In its immediate vicinity was some of the grandest scenery to be found in the whole range of the Sierra Ne- vadas, and this with its delightful climate and many advantages of location was the secret of its attractiveness. It so happened that Joe Langdon, the miner, became the favorite guide of this particular party on their sightseeing expe­ ditions. during their sojourn at Blazeaway. He w as a good-looking, big-hearted, intel­ ligent fellow, w,ith a certain rough eloquence in his speech and manner, and a peculiarly graphic style of relating the legends and anecdotes connected with the points of in­ terest that came under their observation. Strange to say, the proud Miss Pem­ broke became deeply interested in this Joe Langdon. She found him an entertaining companion, with views and ideas similar to her own, if they had only been cultivated, and she was amused i-nther than shocked by his simple, unpolished language. He liked poetry, and she read to him some­ times by the hour, while he listened with beaming eyes and bated breath. And while she marveled that a man so utterly without culture and learning could be fond of suce things, it probably never occured to her that it might not be so much the poetry as the musical rhythm of her own sweet voice that engaged his rapt attention. At any rate, they were good friends, and when the entire male portion of the excur­ sion party went off for a two weeks' hunt up the Sacramento river, Miss Pembroke was left with little else to amuse herself with beside this new admirer of hers. It was certainly a great comfort to her to have him alway near her, as guide and protector, when she went beyond the linjits of the little town. They had risen early this morning on purpose to see the sunrise. Langdon hav­ ing expatiated on the beauty of the; scene as viewed from a certain point on the mountain, Miss Pembroke went into rap­ tures over it. "It is the most beautiful sight I ever wit­ nessed!" she exclaimed, again and again. "How good of you to propose this morning ride, Mr. Langdon. You are always think­ ing of something new for my enjoyment. I must induce the rest of the party to see this before we leave here. By the way I"" she added, "the gentlemen are expected to return from their hunt to-morrow, and I presume they wiH propose an early depart­ ure for some other point. I am so con­ cern d about Charley that I shall be glad--" "Charley who?" asked Joe Langdon, almosPfcharply. "Why. Charley Brantley. He is one of our party, you know. You must have seen him." "You mean the handsome feller with the long mustache that kept so close to you the day we rode over 10 the mine?" A conscious blush reddened the lady's cheeks. "Yes," she replied; "that was Charley Brantley." Langdon saw the blush, and moved un­ easily in his saddle. "lio you love him, Mis6 Pembroke?" "Sir!" "Do you love Charley Brantley?" It was a plain question, plainly put. From another person it would have been resent< d as a most impertinent one; but even the haughty Miss Pembroke could not get angry with this frank, simple-hearted man. With heightening color she replied: "Yes, Mr. Langdon; I don't mind ttlliug you that 1 do love him. We are engaged to be married." - She was not looking at him. She did not see the gray pallor that crept slowly into his face; did not note the stony look in •his eyes, or the nervous manner in which he raised his hand to hits, throat and pulled at his collar as if it were choking him. * She was looking out over the valley, too much abashed by her own confession to meet her companion's gaze. "I am anxious aoout Charley," he said, after aw hile. "I fear his life is in danger--" Joe started, and looked positively guilty. Had she read the thought that flashed - lightning-like through his mind? But the girl did not see--did not know. With eyes still averted she continued; 'Charley has such a temper, and he| sometimes loses control of it. The (lay ha I DiCUilUg lllf> t>tl> Ci -111UUUWU 11 Jit?, MliK'il UC valued so highly, and without pausing to consider the consequences he struck the fellow across the face with his riding-whip. I have since heard that the man has sworn vengeance on him, and declared he would kill him at the first opportunity. The thought is so terrible that I cannot drive it from my mind, and I fairly dread Charley's return. Perhaps you could contrive to save him, Mr. Langdon- " "Eh? I--I don't--did you speak tome, Miss Pembroke?" f" *- She looked at him now, with an expres­ sion of surprise. She saw how deathly pale he was, and with a woman'a readiness to jump at conclusions she exclaimed: "You believe it, too. You think Charley is in peril! I know you do!" , "Waita minute, Miss Phmbroke,' said the miner, making a mighty effort to recover Who is the feller, an' what's his name?" "The people here call him 'Whisky Tom.' He is a low, dissipated half-breed. Of course you know him." v "Whisky Tom! I know him for a drunken scamp and vagabond," said Joe, with emphasis. "He oughter been hung long 'ago. Why, bless oyour heart, whisky Tom 'ud murder his mother for a glass o' whisky. When he says he'll kill a feller you needn't Hatter yerself that he won't try his blamedest to do it, jest as soon as he can make a sneak on the feller. All I'm s'prised at is that he tried to steal a rifle--onless he wanted to sell it for money to buy liquor with. He never uses fire­ arms nohow--^couldn't hire him to have anything to do witH*'em". '"He Joes all his shootiu' with a bow an' arrow, an' he can knock a woodpecker out o' the top of a Californy pine every clip. Why, Miss • Feinbroke, you're white as a ghost!" "Oh. won't you. try and save him, Mr. Li.ngdon?" "Save who?" "Charley. If anything like--like thdf should, befall him it would kill me, I inow it .would!" It would have been hard to tell which was the paler of the two, only for the suu- bronze on the miner's face. It was a try­ ing ordeal through which he w as passing, and for a moment it seemetf'as if lie were turning to ice; but the big, unselfish heart melted beneath the piteous, pleading gaze of those eyes that had played such havoc with it during these few sunny weeks. Joe Langdon wiped the perspiration from his brow, conscious that he was trembling, and that she would surely notice his agitation. "If so be," he said, with another gfeat effort to be calm--"if so be it should come in my power to do Charley Brantley a serv­ ice. I'd do it. of course--for your sake! But come, Miss Pembroke." he added, in a more cheerful tone, "you mustn't let yerself think o' sech things. I guess Mister Brantley ain't in sech danger but what he'll take keer of hisself all right. It's time for 11s to be movin' down the mountain. We'll have a shaip appetite for breakfast after the ride, I reckon; but it won't do for you to carry that white face back to the hotel. You'll skeer everybody out of a year's growth." Then, after they had .started off at a brisk canter, he said. " What do you say to a race, Miss Pembroke? Let's see which o' these bosses can take the rag off the bush in a mile stretch." And away' they galloped at a reekless rate of speed, leaving a cloud df dust in their wake. It was the next day after this occurrence that Jde Langdon stood leaning against the trunk of a huge tree, just beyond the limits of Blazeaway, absorbed in thought. , He was alone, and he could scarcely have looked more pale and haggard if he had just risen from a long, wasting ill­ ness. • 1 "I don't know what ails me, onless I'm goin' stark, 6tarin' mad," he muttered to himself. "I didn't think it 'ud strike me all of a heap to know that she loved some other man, but that's jest what it's done-- darn my skin if it ain't! I'm blowed if I understand myself at all. It's the fust time I was ever kerflummixed by a woman, an' I reckon--I recon it'll be--the last." He made a movement as if to wring his hands, but seemed to check the impulse, as if he were ashamed of his weakness. "Joe Langdon, you're a blamed fool!" he said, unconsciously speaking aloud. "You've got the brass of a road-agent to go fallin' in love with a fine lady like Laura Pem­ broke. But how the blazes can a man help it? She ain't like other fine ladies. She makes a feller forget that he's notliin' but a rough cuss, an' she couldn't talk any nicer to the President himself than she does to me. 1 don't know what I've been thinkin' of all this time. I ain't fit to be mentioned in the same day with her, an' here I am in love with her. I can't bear to think of her goin' away ." , "You can't, eh?" interrupted a sneering voice. "If that is-the case it is time you were being taught a lesson!" Joe looked up with a start. Charley Brantley stood before him, tall and hand­ some, with au angry gleam in his black eyes. The miner felt himself growing weak to think he had committed the crowing folly of betraying his secret to this man. "So you are in love with Laura Pem­ broke," continued Brantley, with cutting sarcasm. "I have heard of your persistent attention to her during my absence. And you think you can't bear to see her go away from here. That is bad, truly." "Wait a minute. Mr. Brantley," said Joe, his voice husky. "You have heerd what T was foolish enough to say out loud, an' there's no use in my denyin' it now. I do love Miss Pembroke, but I didn't intend {b let her know it. nor you. I know she ain't for me; I know she's to be your wife." "And knowing that, you have the impu­ dence to tell me that you love her--j/om, a low, miserable specimen of humanity, too ignorant to realize your own 'Audacity!"' cried Brantley, his temper getting the bet­ ter of him. "You're a scoundrel, sir--a dog- " "Stop!" If Joe Langdon's face was pale before, it was ghastly now. "Stop!" he re­ peated, and his voice was terrible from its very calmness. "There ain't but one man •on earth that can call me sech names iw that, an'Jive--an' you're that man. Hut you mustn't do it ag'in, sir--by the eternal you mustn't do it ag'n., It's only her love fpr you that saves you now." "You threaten me, do you?" cried Brant­ ley. in a white-heat of passion. "You threaten me " Whatever was in his mind to say, it re­ mained unsaid, for at that instant Joe Langdon sprung upon him with the quick - ness of thought, and bore him heavily to the ground. The^attack was so sudden and unexpected that ©rantley w as not prepared for it, bflt with a furious curse he struggled his feet and drew his revolver. ,,' He was about to fire when he heard a wo­ man's scream, a man's shout, and a fctrong hand seized his arm and held it. "Propthat pistol!" cried a stern voice. "You wouldn't shoot a man when he's down!" What had happened? What did it mean? Was that Joe Langdon lying 011 the ground with an arrow quivt ring in his side? Was that Lain a Pembroke kneeling beside the prostrate miuer? Was this Mr. Pembroke who hnd grasped his arm and wrenched the pistol from his hand? Charlev Brantley realized these things gradually, like a man waking from a niglit- mare. _ "You told me to save him, Miss Pem­ broke." said Joe, faintly, as the weeping girl lifted his head to her lap. "You told me to save him. an' I ve done it. I see d that wretch, Whisky Tom, lurkin' behind thd bushes yonder, "with his bow drawn and an arrow p'nted at Brantley. I knowed what it meant, an' I knowed ^ Tom never missed his aim; so I--I jumped onto Brantley an' pushed him out o' the way, an took the arrow myself. Good-bye; dont cry for me. I'm glad it turned out this way. I hope you'll be happy. Good-bye-- good-bve--" * And Joe Langdon was dead. - It was merely an episode; and after a handful of citizens had run tb« mnrdemr utter the fashion ot western justice, the event was not long remembered^ r.

The conquest of distant countries, the extension of steam and telegraphic communication, and the scientific ex­ plorations that have been made of late years, is opening up constantly to the adventurous traveler many strange re­ gions which he can now visit, but which were shut out from the tourist of' a half or a quarter-century ago. Many persons n<9w living once.thought a trip to the Ural Mountains, or across cur own continent, a very daring under­ taking ; but now a voyage around the world is a very common adventure, and there are but few- countries on the globe that an enterprising man cannot reach. Ten years ago, a journey to the city of Mexico was really perilous, because of the bandits which invested the post-roads, but now the Pullman car will take one without thought of danger, not only to the capitol of Mex­ ico, but to the Pacific Ocean. Before long it will be possible to take a pas­ sage in a steamer at Xew York with a certainty of being able to reach Tehe­ ran, the capital Persia, within four­ teen days. The raiiroad that is now being constructed between Engeti and Teheran will bring the capital of the Shah within seven days of London.

Crusing among icebergs in mid­ summer in small steam yachts, with the accompanying game shooting is now quite feasible. Sir Henry Gore Booth and other English yachtsmen have visited Spitzbergen and Novia Zemblia to hunt bear and reindeer. His last voyage was in a sailing craft only fifty-five ieet long. Then Iceland is another land of wonders which can be reached by Scotch steamers, which make the voyage several times during the summer. The geysers and volca­ noes of that marvelous island are un­ like any other natural curiosities on this globe of ours. Tourists can now find their way to the extreme end of Norway's peninsula, *the North Cape, where the midnight sun can be seen to perfection. But it would take more than our space permits to tell of the wonders within easy, reach of the mod­ ern tourist. Our own continent is full of marvels. Every young American of means should be ambitious to visit other portions of the earth's surface that will afford a contrast, and a sharp one, to the land he lives in. It is a lib­ eral education, if one can pro tit by the new countries one sees. Human be­ ings, as well as trees and shrubs, are often benefited by being transplanted. -- DemoresVs Monthly., Liquid tilue. "With any desired quantity of glue, use ordinary whisky instead of water.

To the solution it is directed that 24 ounces of strong aqua fortis (nitric acid) be added, stirring all the-while. Effervescence will take place with the evolution of orange nitrous fumes. When all the acid has been added, the liquid is allowed to cool. It should be kept in a well-stoppered bottle, and will remain permanently liquid. It will neither gelatinize nor putrefy, and is said to make a very serviceable cement for various domestic uses, such as repairing cabinet-work, chinaware, etc» Another formula directs that a jar or bottle be filled with glue broken into small fragments, and the same covered with acetic acid.

The Indian Problem. From a paper by Henry King, on the Indian country, in the Century, we quote the following: "Unquestionably the first necessity of the situation is to strengthen, perfect, and make uniform the land-titles of the Territory. This 'can most safely and successfully be ac­ complished, it is believed, by allotting lands to the Indians in severalty,--at the rate, say, of one hundred and sixty acres per head,--and giving them per­ sonal titles thereto, inalienable for a stipulated number of years; an.d pro­ viding for the disposal, at Government prices, of the unallotted and remaining portions of their reservations, for their benefit, to white settlers. In an allot­ ment of this kind, twelve million two hundred and fifty thousand acres would give each Indian, male and female, adult and child, one hundred and sixty acres, leaving over two-thirds of the whole Territory to be sold on their ac­ count--enough to bring them, at a low estimate, forty million dollars, or more than five hundred dollars per capita. Such allotment and issuance of indi­ vidual patents would involve, of course, the dissolution of tribal relations--an­ other desirable step in the adjustment of the general question; and the Indian would thus be put upon an even foot­ ing with the white man as to the opportunities and advantages of per­ sonal independence. At the same time, the laws common throughout the States for the punishment of crime and the enforcement of contracts should be extended over the Territory, and courts established to administer them. In. short, the flimsy theory of tribal sove­ reignty should be extirpated, the reser­ vation system replaced by fee-simple grants in severalty, the surplus lands opened to white settlement, and the Indians placed under the restraint and protection \>f ordinary and impartial laws, with a view to making tliem self- reliant and self'supporting." TheRuddy River of life is the blood. From it the system re­ ceives ail its material of growth and repair. It bathes every tissue of the body. How necessary, then, that the blood should be kept pure and rich. Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" is the groat blood food and blood purifier. It is a sovereign remedy for all diseases due to impoverished blood, consumption, bronchitis, «eak lungs, scrof­ ula, influenca, and kindred diseases.

It can cause its father to be insulted by every second class boarding-house keeper in the city who "never take children," which in nine cases out of ten is very fortunate for the children.

It can make an old bachelor in the room adjoining use language that, if uttered on the street, would get him into the penitentiary for two years.
