And there one stopped ; the acme of pride had been reaohed. "When the last of the Inskips passed forth from the family mansion to I descend by way of a suite of rooms in J a private family, to two in a second rato boarding house, and then to a single room over a barber's shop, one would have expected the significance of the saying to wane with the Inskip fortunes. But "proud as an Inskip" was Btill whispered beneath one'a breath as Miss Lavinia swept up the aisle of old Christ Church to the family pew. j Though passed into that indefinite period, middle age, her step had not lost the sprightly stateliness, the gr ace ful yet insolent abandon so significant of her character as a girl ; a character entirely given to impulse, yet using its Inskip pride as an impenetrable armor from which to witness the re sults of its own indifference to conse quences. Miss Lavinia's career was a thing of publio reminiscence; a thing Ito be brought up and aired and told of for tho astonishment and edification of the present generation; talked of with that keen relish with which things helping to make history are always re lated. Of her insolence? They will tell you how, when Richly, that Midas of the North, pressing her for an answer as they stood together at the bow of a great Mississippi steamboat, made mention of his. enormous wealth they will tell yon how Miss Inskip, gazing abstractedly into the blue dis tance, drew from the purse at her belt a banknote, numbering at least three fignros Then, letting the wind catch it from her white fingers and carry it fluttering over the river's yellow ex panse, 6he turned and left old Richly, red with anger, to digest his answer as best he might. Daring? Another story is of a wretched youth whose adoration was so mixed with fear that, at her com mand, he meekly descended from his horse, that a fugitive slave might mount in his place; and while she rode on eome twenty miles to aid the poor wretch's escape, the yonng man walked the wooded roadside half the night in mental anguish, dreading to dis obey her command to await her re turn. And be it said, it was not he who finally told of the story. Oh, yes, certainly she owned slaves her self! Her excuse? The fugitive,, driven from his hiding place by hunger, had appealed to her from the roadside, throwing himself on her mercy. And for wit, that mask of ugliness, old Colonel Coguac is etill known as "Apollinaris Belvidere"-an instance of Miss Lavinia's satire. Was she beautiful? Ask this generation's fathers. Indeed, it is whispered that not one of our mothers but accepted her lord's heart and hand after those articles had been laid in vain at the feet of Miss Lavinia In skip. In her time she slew her thou sands and her tens of thousauds. Tradition says the present owner of old Inskip mansion, Judge Richard Alexander, whom every Sunday sees in his place at old Christ Church, has never looked at woman since. This last is one of the stories often est told, perhaps because of the op portunity it affords to describe the famous ball at the Inskip mansion. Three thousand dollars in roses on the ball room walls alone, they say ; while in the dining room, the center piece of fruits, flowers, and spun sugar mounted to the dangling prisms of the chandelier, and the elaborate sup per surrounding it costs as many more thousands. . On that night Richard Alexander, younger then by some thirty years, handsome, poor, fresh from the coun try, full of faith in everything, Lavinia included, seemed to have been chosen to be her especial victim and diver sion. With her eyes she would sum mon him, that her red lips might mock him. Did he leave her in anger, her handkerchief was dropped at his feet, as if by accident, as she waltzed by ; or, catching his moody eye, her sweetest smile would float back, to lure him to her again. Were ho her part ner-and full half her card was his it was to dance a single turn, ber per fumed hair int.oxicatingly near his face, then to tire, that 6he might bestow the remainder of thc dance on some other of her atten dant throng, until, between hope and doubt, young Alexander's passionate heart boat beyond control. It was in the yard-the beautiful old yard about the mansion, where" she had led him, tho wild south wind blowing her yellow gauzes from her arms,, her throat-that he, having torn a thorny length of bloom from a olimbing yellow brier, with Budden daring caught its two ends and held it, crown-like, about her head. With insolent consciousness of her beauty, she throw her head back, bringing her mocking, upturned face near to his. Then, seeing the wild look of daring that sprang to his eyes, she laughed lightly and flipped him in tho face, with the gloves she held, as one might correct one's dog. Taunted beyond endurance, they say, he seized her in his arms and kissed her. With a moment's pause, -while the Inskip pride gathered its force, she snatched the thorny switch of brier and struck him across the face, not once, but many times-he standing white and motionless, after the first stroke, until her passion spent itself. After that, young Alexander pastseo out of the social life of the place, and the career of Miss Lavinia Inskip be- j came more than ever celebruted. Stories without number are told of j thia period of her life. Once, it is said, at aa accepted suitor's jealous remonstrances, she ?lipped his ring from her finger, tossed the costly bauble through the open window, and left the wretched man, metaphorically, to follow. She quarreled with another only a few days from tho altar, and distributed the costy trousseau, the talk of the country, among her servant girls. And so they went, all these traditions -all of them telling how she and wealth and wit and beauty and inso* lent pride were one-she whose all was now within the four walla of a room over a barber's shop. Old Christ Church had again Come into fashionable favor, and its sittings were in demand > so much had been done for it by the presence of a new and young assistant rector and ? sur pliced choir. Years had passed since rent had been paid for the Inskip pew, yet no one had thought to ques tion Miss Lavinia's right to sit there. To-day her generation was fast thin ning out. The old rector was abroad ; Miss Lavinia's pew was wanted, and tho young assistant, calmly assuming the prerogatives and duties of the sleepy and inert vestry, saw no reason why it should not bo taken. There were numerous single sittings vacant, he reasoned, and in a prettily worded note to Miss Lavinia ho intimated as much, at the. same time neglecting to mention the matter to his vestry. Did Miss Lavinia ever receive that note? It would have been hard for those to decide who saw her walk into church that next Sunday, her India shawl so adjusted. on the Bloping shoulders as to make the best display of the old silk dress, her slender hands folded on the faded velvet prayer book, her once auburn hair streaked to a yellow gray, but her eyes as bright as in the days of their insolent youth. With the old stateliness, and ju6t a touch of the old abandon, she walked the length of the aisle, and her strong soprano voice rose in the chant as usual, from the cushioned interior of the Inskip pew. That week it was whispered around that a piece of the Inskip burying ground in the cametery was offered for sale-that largo entrance plot with its famous purplo beeches, which in the old days boasted such a display of flower beds and shrubbery. After wards it came to light that the young rector had called on Miss Lavinia that same week to explain the point, and to request her to resign her pew for a smaller one. Miss Lavinia received his views in silence, made no protest, and he left, apparently sure of her ac quiescence. Yet on the following Sun day she took her usual place with an air which thoso who knew her recog nized as Inskipian, and could have in terpreted as declaring defianoe to the last degree. That very week the ground in the cemetery was disposed of, and the en tire proceeds of the sale wer?prolfeied tho vestry of Christ Church in pay* menfc of tho debt on tho Inskip pew, to the unbounded astonishment of that slow-going body. Had tho young minister known of this transaction, tho matter would havo ended there J but as it happened, ho did not, Miss Inskip not considering lura at all in connection with the matter. But in tho meantime, regarding his audience with her as final, he had signified to a new and wealthy parishioner that the large rental offered for the pew was accepted, the details of tho arrange ment to be referred to the vestry at their next meeting. ' About this time two contrary ver sions of the story began to be whis pered abroad. On the following Sun day, whioh happened to be Easter Day, the large congregation felt an apprehensive thrill as Miss Lavinia entered-perhaps intentionally-a lit tle late. It watched her sweep up the long central aisle, it saw her stop as she reached the In?kip pew, filled to the very door with tho family of the rich parishioner, hap pily unconscious of tbe position they had unwittingly assumed. Here its very pulse seemed to pause with Miss La vinia. She stopped. Her face was deadly pale. The pews on either hand were lilied. She threw her head back ; she turned to go. Then the pulse of tho congregation carno back with a bound. Judge Al exander-once the young Bichard Al exander-had stepped into the aisle as she carno down, had mot her, was pointing through the open door to his empty pew. She faltered, she raised her glance to his. Could it bo tears in an Inskip's eye. Then ?ho shook her head, walked with stately haught iness down tho aisle of old Christ Church and out of its doors. Overcoat deliberately folded upon arm, silk hat in hand, the judge closed tho door of his pew aud left also. Throughout tho church, here and there, old members rose and silently followed his example. The young reotor stumbled, repeated himself, and the Easter service went on. Miss Lavinia had gone home on feet that scarcely seemed to touch the pavements, so swift was her stately speed. She had locked* herself and her pride behind the narrow door that was her barrier between the things of to-day and the world of yesterday. Beal Valenciennes on cotton, a Gre cian urn amid tho barber's pomades, pearls on his wife, were not moro out of place than Miss Lavinia in that small roora. An epigrammatic ac quaintence once said that in her youth bhe questioned tho right of naturo to expect tho Inskips to draw breath for themselves. Now, she folded the old shawl with careful, al most reverent hands, fearful of thc time when it should ho worn out. She wrapped the velvet prayer book in a linen cambric handkerchief of cobweb finennss, that its silver clasps might not tarnish. Then, a surges of wounded pride swept over her 98b, Miss Lavinia walked the floor, uer thin hands clenched at either side. 1 An Inskip expected deference of Heaven itself!" She had laughed when she heard such things, but in her insolent heart sho had gloried that there was truth in them. Was not every Inskip taught these things from birth? Had she uot imbibed them, and lived up to them, until to her they wero part of the plan of creation itself? Had not her childhood's fan cies, her girlhood's friendships, her woman's heart, been crushed beneath tilia Inskip pride? Her woman's heart Old as she wnp, a blush that scorched her soul burned over Miss Lavinia's face. He, whom she had humiliated past forgiven es.", for very hatred of tho knowledge that her love w?a won where it ought not be given-he, to day, had witnessed her humiliation, and, hardest of all to endure, had of fered her his protection ! What was it she had seen in his eyes as they looked into hers for the first time in thirty years? Was it triumph? Was it pity? . They were too glowing for pity, too tender for triumph. God help her to still the heart that cried the truth-it was love! After thirty silent years it was love ! Bat even now, her pride could not allow him thatl "It is not all his," she oried. "1 have been faithful, too. To one after another I tried to give myself, but I could not-I could not! I have been faithful, too-" ? sob in an Iuskip's voice, tears steal ing between the thin fingers from an Inskip's eyes I There was a knock; She had re fused the dinner brought to her room; Could hours have passed-, wds it the barber's wife bringing her slipper? Miss Lavinia opened the dddr. It was to receive the tray of food-, .ripon which lay a? enVelop?. .And tho handwriting Upon that, envelope she had not forgotten iii all these years j 4'H? had loved her always*," wild the note. "Would she let him come to her?" No! All was his to-day, that had once been hera. She had followed his career-would the world have believed it behind snch'icy indifference of man ner? She had read of him as the masterful, self contained, successful man of law, and she knew too well that wealth, position, name, her very home, was his ; even such of her old servants as were living now served him, and she had nothing but her pride I And in the long night, walk ing the floor, opening her window to the warm south wind, she hugged it close. It had been parent, .lover, child-all that is given woman to love ; and it should be her companion until death. "No," 6he wrote him ak daybreak, .'nd. Yet she owed him this-*would he forgive her for the past?-' Here for tho moment her heart beat strong er than pride. When the latter was gone, she would . have recalled it, to erase that last sentence, but it was too late? The barber's wife had taken it on her road to market. Was this the end? Would he ?? ply? Why should she care? Pride hud en decl lt noW-'foie ver. She must got her needle. "He that Works not, neither shall he eat^'-^-strange philosophy for an Inskip tongue ! And yet, if indeed it was ended, why should her heart beat so when the barber's wife came to her door that afternoon? "The judge, he is below, in the par lor behind the shop," the woman ez plained. "I cannot see him. Tell him so." Yob again, grumbling audibly, the barber's wife returned. "He will nob go. 'Tell her,' he says-''bell her I am waibing, and will wait until she comes.'" 1 'You mast insist. ? will not como. " The woman's face threatened mutiny, for she was not paid for service. Miss Lavinia hesitated, in despair; Her thimble caught. her eye-bhin? wornj pricked into holes, yet it Was gold; She pressed it into the woman's hand; "Explain to him that I will nob come -make him go 1'' To her door again and s' ill again the woman returned. "He is waiting, he bids me say, and will wait until you come." The afternoon dragged by, Towards evening the barber's wife rebelled; Something must be done; She had company invited, and her parlor she wanted and would have. So she told Miss Lavinia in no gentle tones; The Inskip pride writhed under such inso lence. Was thia retribution, coming now, Btep by step? The woman's angry voice shrilled higher. Miss Lavinia arose. "Hush," she begged, "he will hear you. I will go down and dismiss him." White, stately, yet itfemomTg strangely, Miss Lavinia walked through the barber's shop, whioh smelled more loudly than ever of scented soaps and hair oils, into the little parlor behind. The old-or was it the young? Richard Alexander turned. Ah, yes, it is the young Richard, tender, ar dent, glowing, though his hair is gray I She tried to motion him back, brit his arms are about her-he has kissed her. Oh, memories of a night so long ago! Oh, youbh-oh, love! The Inskip pride carno rushing to her lips; it trembled for utteianoe, it fell dying into a broken cry. "It has been my pride," she sobbed. "Ihavo always loved you, Richard!" The judge brought his wife into church on his arm the first Sunday after they were married Nor did it seem ostentatious-the rich dress, the silken wrap, the fine accessories, it seemed only as it shonld be-Miss La vinia had come into her own again. The over zealous youngminisber had been taught the limits of his authority hy an aroused and indignant vestry. The silvor name plate was restored to the family pew, but Miss Lavinia, no longer an Inskip, sat with the judge. Evidencing that quality which the hymn book attributes to pride, the Inskip family pew remained-empty. -Munsey's Magazine." A Phenomenon About Gold. It has always been a wonder to the honest miner where the gold comes from that he finds in the grass rooty at the tops of mountains far away from ledges of gold bearing quartz. Out at Cripple Creek, Col., Ia9t sum mer this phenomenon was pointed out, and one ingenious explanation, whioh is generally accepted by the ignorant miners, was that the little particles of gold dropped from the soot that was thrown oub by the volcanoes that are said to have ornamented that section away back in tho mysterious past. But Professor Walcott, the director of tho geological survey, says that is not 60. He thinks that the tops of tho monntains there where the gold du3t is now found wore once covered with crags of quartz which decayed and crumbled ages ago. Their dust has mostly blown away, but the ker nels of gold, being heavier, have hid den in the soil and remained. Hun dreds of thousands of tons of dirt have been carted from the monntain tops to the creeks in tho valleys where there was water to wash it on. That is what they call "mining tho sen ery.
