Over in Gilt Creek a great strike had occurred, and numbers of prospectors thronged the streets and stood in groups at every corner. One rough miner turned and looked after Ellen and her father and the old hand or- or com to town.” ‘ Give me a tuna. old man I” called out a second miner. “ Let him alone, boys,” said a third. “ He is blind.” “ This here’s a city now, boys 1’ he cried. “ J ust look :at the organ-grind- Ellen led her father down the nar- row street and piloted him safely through the. noisy crowd. As she turn- ed a corner she spied an unpretentious eating-house. “Dinner fifty cents,” the sign read. and she paused before the Open door. “ We’ll go in and get some dinner, dad. I’m fearful :hlmgry.’ She led her father to one of the small tables and slipped the organ from his back. Then she, drew an old red hand- kerchief from her pocket and untied one corner. A little roll of coins drop- ped out on the table. “ Got enough, dear 3” asked her fath- er. His quick ear had caught the click of the coins. “ Lots, ” said she. shortly. She hastily tied up the money, and going to the counter ordered dinner for her father and for herselfâ€"only a bowl of oatmeal and milk. “I was pretty near starved,” said the old organ grinder, as he ate his roast beef with a good relish. “ Hain’t ithe meat good, Ellen 2” “ Course it is l” answered Ellen, calm- i 1y taking a sip of. milk. said his daughter. ‘ ‘And the tomatoes and the rice pud- din’ 2’ added her father. She soon finished her own simple dinner and leaned back in the stiff wooden chair. Two miners close by her cheeks and lips were crimson. Her old straw hat was tied down with a. key shawl round her slender shoul- ders. ” We’ve had a splendid dinner, hain’t we W said her father, using and tak- ing the organ on his back.

A lady gave a coin, and amin- er carelessly tossed a quarter toward uncut. But their supper and a night’s lodg- ing were: 'to be paid for, and very lit- tle was left in the handkerchief. It grew late at last.

And then his eyes tell on the flowers. “Where'd you git emi’ he asked, suddmly. “ Found ’em.’ answered the girl. quite an shortly. He came a step nearer and held out his hand. “ Let me see ’em.’ She drew back “ Pay for em first. Pu 56% em! cheap,” she said. He thrust his hand still deeper in pocket, then tossed some silver on the top of the old organ. Then he took the flowers and studied them intently as he turned the bouquet round “ Tell me where you got ’em,’ he ask- ed, pleadingly. " Found ’em,’ she said again. “ A lady throwed ‘em out the winder) The young man said something un- der his breath than turned and walk- ed_away_. Ellen had seen the color, come to his face and‘ a hurt look in his eyes. As she looked after him he gave the bouquet a; toss end it fell in the muddy. street. only to be crushed the next instant by the wheels of a passing vehicle. ww“fia'in’tzwflwre enéugh Emney yeti” asked her father, touching her arm. “ Yes, dad,’ she answered.“ We’ll go and get some supper, and then we’ll find a. place to sleep ” The little parlor of Mrs. Murphy’s lodging-house was crowded with min- era that evening. Ellen left her fath- er sea,ted contentedly in a corner, and stole quietly out of the front door. She was so used to an outdoor life that she felt suffocated in a. small and close room. Some one? sat on the lower step, with his head. resting on his hands. He look- ed up and saw her! as she stood hesit- atingly in the doorway. “ Don’t be afraid,’ he said kindly. It was the young man who had bought the flowers. Sgev sank down on the steps and drew her old shawl still closer about “ It’s cold out here,’ said the young man. Perhaps you’d better go in.’ “ I aint cold, ” answered Ellen; “ I’m most always outdoors; Lu ”W- w.. “ Where’d you say you found the posies ?” he asked, suddenly raising his head. “A young lath throwed ’em out, she had yaller hair. It was a house with white curtains at the winders. I didn’t set mo price on the flowers," she added hastily, “you needn't have paid so "I ain't complainin' of the price," said the voumr fellow. “They cost me "I ain't complainin' said the young fellow. a pile to begin with." “Did. you give 'em to ed, curiously. tamer found. ers once more crossing Bed 'MOnntam on their way to She had grown a little tall- ooked much the same.

Ellen looked sorry; then a curious gladneas came to her eyes. 1 “Haven’t you seen her 9" she asked: “No," answered the young man; "she don’t. live here no more. "I’m sorry," said the girl; “I writ it plain." Then he looked at her admiringly. “ 'S’poee I come to see you to-night!” The organ-grinder took up his bur- den again and as they moved away [she smiled over her shoulder at. the 1 young man with fair hair who looked [after her as he leaned lightly on his ' A month later a clergyman at. 1093 married them: Ellen was very happy in her new home. There were no lace curtains at the cabin windows, for her husband was but a poor prOSpector, with only his youth and hepe. Her father still played the old organ, but he kept near home that Ellen might see him as she glanced up_£rom her work. ‘-_A_A-_ L-â€" .-â€"_vv‘ â€" -â€" ' One evening during the winter her husband came home and as be seated himself by the stove drew a yellow enveloe from his pocket. It was old and worn by much handling and bore numerous postmarks. “What is it Y” asked Ellen, quickly. “An old letter fur me,” answered her husband. “ They said it had bin fol- lerin' me ’round everywhere. I ha’n't been in one place long the past year. It ain’t much good now. S’pose you , read it.” She took the letter and tore open the envelope. There were only a few lines. It began "Darlin’ Jim,” and. was signed “Your own Lizzie." It stated that the writer would marry him at éThe Ami-ego“; Man Takes a Stroll of 10, I 000 Every Second. I It the average old man of compara- ltively sedentary habits were told that during his life he had walked as many miles as would compass the earth at the equator six times, he would prob- iably be very much surprised, says the tLondon Daily Mail. And ylet such a ipedestrian effort only represents an ‘average walk of six miles a day {or a ‘periocl of sixty-eight years. any time. “Don’t look so I” cried her husband, as Ellen grew deadly white. She did not speak, but stood perfectly still with the letter clutched in her hand. ' But her: husbsnd threw his strong arms around her. "I’m glad I didn't get it!" he cried. “Don’t you know I love ypu best? No- body can’t take your place now.” Similarly, the man who is content with the daily average walk o£ four miles will consider himself an athlete on learning that every year he walks a distance equal to a trip from Lon- don to Athens. When one considers the aggregate walking records of the world the fig- ures are even more surprising. Assum- ing that each individual averages a four-mile walk a dayâ€"and this can- not be considered an extravagant esti- mate when one remembers that Mr. Thomas Phipps, of Kingham, has walked 440,000 miles on postal duty aloneâ€"the startling conclusion is ar- rived at that the world covers a jour- ney of 69,444 miles every time the clock ticks, night and day. This means that the world’s walking record for a second of time is equal to two trips round the Equator and more than thirteen jaunts between London and Naples. Eveg minute the “V“uvâ€" â€" aggregate man walks a. distance equal to eight return-trips to the moon, sup- plemented by over fifteen walks round the earth’s waist. :In an hour he would walk as far as the sun and back again, take a trip to the moon, from the earth, 140 times, while still leaving himself a stroll of 190,000 miles to finish .the cigar he lit at the commencement of his journey of sixty minutes. But considering the rate of his progress, it is probable that even a slow smoker might require a second cigar before finishing the_x’valk. _didn‘t get no answer.

Du‘l “VID- wv It is well for the aggregate man’s exchequer that he walks these dis- tances instead of covering them by rail. At the rate of a penny a mile, 1611- AU vuv 4-va the world’s annual walk would cost £9,125,000,000, or ten times as much gold as is current throughout the en- tire world. To purchase a ticket for this distance it would be necessary to mortgage the entire United Kingdom to three-fourths of its full value.
