"?Miiiing men, assayers and the like I
.will? deride and boot at yon if you I
. imiMly hintto them that-theirs is a
"very "romantic" business, with its big
chances pro and con, its lack of cut
and-driedness, and so on. And they
maybe in-tho^right.for all one knows.
Birt tEere was one case wherein ro
mance, mining and asr.&y>.ig made a
?very homogeneoas mix-that of the
great "Esperanza Gold Mines, Lim
?e&,'y*rnw which tho principal actors
were. Mr. John Simpson, assayer and
ore buyes, and P^?ghnrd Hadley-Benton,
M. P.v'represent.ng an English bor
oughnnd. something like a quarter of
a rx?ltion pounds sterling, which, on
ibis say-so, was invested in the. "Es
peranza."
* The thing had its commencement
many years ago in England, and, as a
matter of coarse, is traceable to ?
woman. But, strange to say, this
vornan was worthy of having things
iiappen on her account. She was love
ly Aileen Butler, the Irish beauty, who
_ took London by. Storni the- very year
thal .young Duncan DudLy and his
chum; -Hadley-Benton, left ' Oxford.
And with Miss Butler both these
.?vontg men proceeded to fall violently
in love, upon dist sight of her. Th s
in spite of the fact that far older and
richer men -wore already at her feet,
( . and she ' could even have married a
?rich and gouty old duke, had she so
.desired. But Miss Butler did not so
.desire, and, in truly Irish fasbiou.took
no pains to hide her preference for
Dudley, who was merely the third son
of a poverty-stricken Scotch peer, and
as thorough a detrimental ns one could
lind in a day's travel.
? No..wonder that . the girl's family
swore,'stormed and wept, respectively;
.even Hadley-Beuton, with his rich min
ing and broking father, would have
b#?Bbiv>mpre-desirable parti - But,no;
headstrong Miss Bntlor would have "|
iione of hinynone of the nasal Yankee
billionaire who wm hunting "a wife
from the nobility," none of the gouty
>old fluke. In short, she would marry
'the poverty-stricken Duncan Dudley,
and -no one else. She did not care
whether he had money, prospe ?ts, a
profession or not; she loved him, and
proposed- to marry him. "Which,in
spite "of tears, prayers and profanity,
?Bettled the matter. Miss Butler, in j
Bpite-jjfher beauty, had a will and a
miad-of her bwD.-aud-there^was no use j
?whatever in disputing her.
Wherefore reluctant consents were
won, reluctant blessings were said,
^hn engag?ment was announced, the
marriage was arranged to take place
within .two months, and -the Hon.Dnni
can-and his beantifnl fiancee were as
happy as the day is long. The saying
that "trueloveneverdoeai-nn smooth"
seemed to be disproved in their case,
perhaps would have remained dis
proved . bn t for Mr. Richard Hadley
Benton.
.Hadley-Benton had been Dudley's
greatest friend, both afc Kugby and Ox
ford," They had for years been insep
arable, and were' known afc' Oxford as
Damou aud Pythias. Nothing but a
.woman could have come between them,
and this is just what a woman did.
For, two days before accepting Dud
ley, Miss Butler had somewhat con
temptuously refused Hadley-Benton's
hand and large fortuno. For which
, refusal Hadley-Benton inconsistently
blamed Dudley, instead of Miss But
. 1er.: Erstwhile friendship-on his part
turned to bittier envy and hate, and
the rejected suitor quietly promised
himself revenge when the chance
came.
Of all this the Hon. Duncan knew
nothing and suspected less. He was
busy applying for and receiving a dip
lomatic under-appointment at Paris,
which woulu. enable him to marry and
^.tbencef?r?r-suppoTt his wife in at
least comparative luxury. That his
4'JE^unon. of PO many years was now^his
S^secret enemy he would never have be
lieved, their friendship seemed as
strong ns ever,and the two wore quite
.' as inseparable asiof yore, even travel
. ing together to Paris when the exi
gencies of Dudley's new appointment
demanded the trip.
And this is whero Hadley-Benton's
: prayed-for . opportunity presented it
' self. For, whilo in Paris, secure in
V his present happin-ws and soon-to-be
wedded bliss, the. Hon. Duncan pro
7 " ce?ded to indulg? himself in a partic
ularly foolish ihoughbrief .flirtation
with a handsome American" woman.
Randed aa suddenly as it began,bow
eyer, for the lady was a little too much
, .;w%for;?yen Duncan, who soon beat a
. rapid and not too dignified retreat
from gay Paris, still companioned by
- his faithful Damon, and the "incident"
. wasby him considered as closed. .
To exultant Hadley-Benton "inci
dents" were just beginning, however,
and within four-iours after his return
. io London, Miss Butler and Miss But
.' ler's father knew all about the Paris
. adventuress "incident." Hadley-Ben
ton had "deemed it his duty" to im
part full details, and Miss Butler's
father had thanked him for so doing.
A brief interview-followed; . some "in
. consequent and rather pitiful excuses'
; ' were made by Dndley.br.t what excuse
avails in such case?, when offered to a
faithful and single-minded girl? Mr.
Duncan Dudley's ring was returned,
a few cold.stinging words were spoken
to bimby his ex-fi*acee, an insult* or
. two offered by her father, and then tho
: Hon.Duncan was shown ceremonious
ly to-tke door- Added to all of which,
? |Jll&flfiJ&gda?l)ad the happiness of hear
ing that 'lis ex-canm and ^resent un
doer, Hadley-Benton,' had again pro
1 loosed to Miss Butler-this time suc
. cess.'ully. Th? marriage, said the so
ciety papers,-would lake place within
30 daye.
From this time . commences the

v ~een a pisti i and traveling expenses
to A^tra'Lu Dudley chose the trav
eling expenses, promising to take the
next steamer,under au assumed name,
for Melbourne. Two days later he
purchased instead, under the name of
John Simpson, a ticket for Panama.
And with that purchase ends the career
of the Hon. Duncan Dudley, so far as
Great Britain is concerned; ends, also,
our interest in Miss Aileen Butler, who
soon afterward became the unhappy,
and unloving wife of "Mr. Kichard
Hadley-Benton- with which latter
personage we have not yet finished.
Begarding Mr. John Simpson, sec
ond-class passenger from Liverpool on
the British South American and Pan
ama S. S. liner Paloma, it would be an
impossible feat to follow his fortunes
aud misfortunes through the next ten
year?. He had logged on the Amazon,
dug for gold (which, like Bachael's
children, "was not") in the Guianas,
gambled unsuccessfully.in Panama, and
at last,' in desperation, had drifted to
the Mexican border. There he had
the fortune (or misfortune) to save the
life of a Mexican girl, the ouly daugh
ter of a ranchero, who owned ranchos
and a mine or two in the western part
of Meiico, just then in process of de
velopment by various English and
American syndicates.
This girl, Anita by name, was rather
pretty, though dark and chubby, as
Mexican girls often are. But she was
sweet, iunocent and very faithful, and
she let Simpson soe that she cared for
him, and would marry him if he so de
sired. Strange to say? he did desire;
his life had been such that the pure
and unselfish love of eveu a Mexican
girl meant much to him, and he swore
that he would reform, once married to
Anita. Not that he loved her. Love,
Mr. Simpson had killed with his own
hands ten years ago and more. But
some men cannot live up to much of a
standard without a good woman's
help. Sampson was of this ilk. Where
fore he married Anita, sobered up in
a manner that astounded even himself,
refused to accept help from his some
what grumpy father-in-law, aud found
a job as assistant assayer in the Mex
ican mining town of Palma Sola, in
the very centre of the gold and silver
mining distriot which English and
Americanly capital was-in process of
exploiting. i
In the course of time Simpson's em
ployer died, -add Simpson continued
the assay office on his own account,
for he had learned the business dur
iug his five years' apprenticeship, and
chemical knowledge gained by him
while at Oxford also stood him iu good
stead. Besides which he had learned
a great deal about mines and mining,
and knew what was ore and what was
not. (You may not realize it, but this
last is a great attainment.) Also, in
additiou to his assay o ?lice, he now
had a small ore buying agency and wa*,
in fact, makiug money hand over fist.
Anit*\, though uow very fat and
mustached, hail nevertheless proved a
good and faithful wife and mother, and
Simpson's lines had not been cast in
the most unfortunate places after all.
He bad totally reformed and lived a
coutouted life, forgetful of his old es
tate and old love, straight aud honest
iu business, devoted to his only child
and kind to his wife.. Few men in
Palma Sola .were more respected than
John Simpson, assayer and ore buyer.
Just. about this time rumors gpt
afloat in- Palma Sola that some pro
moters hnd at last boomed the "Es
peranza" gold prospect near by on
the London market; that ons of the
biggest mh;e-broking converts there
had been favorably impressed-so fa
vorably impressed, in fact, that the
head of the concern, ? very rich man
and member of Parliame1 \ was him
selLou the way to make a personal in
vestigation of the mine. If it "panned
ont" ?? represented, the Englishmen
intended to buy it and ereot costly
stamp.mills for workiug the pre, with
cyanide, plants for -treatment of the
tailings.
lu due time the rich Englishman
arrived. Simpson at once recognized
in tho puffy, pompous member; of Par
liament, who represented the greatest
combination of mining capital in Great
Britain, his old chum and deadly en
emy, Hadley-Benton. Needless to
say the latter did not recognize in
Simpson, assayer and ore buyer, the
Duncau Dudley of 15 yeais agoue. In
this rough, bearded, sloppy-looking
westerner, whom he patronizingly ad
dressed as "My good man," Mr. Had
ley-Benton,M. P., saw merely a human
machine which would be useful later
in assaying the "Esperanza" samples,
for the machine was considered the
only reputable and accurate assayer in
or within reach of Palma Sola. And,
having engaged Simpson to make the
said several assays, this pompous in
dividual depavted for the "Esperanza"
prospect in peace and content of mind
-in which frame bf spirit he did not
leave Mr. Simpson, assayer aud ore
buyer.
That entire night Simpson spent in
fighting^ phantoms of the past, memo
ries of his lost and only love, memories
of home and friends, the position and
happiness which might have been his
but for his own folly and his traitor
ous confidant, Hadley-Benton. It
was a hard night and a hard fight,
but Simpson went to *his office exulting
next morning withplans fully thought
out aud arranged, his enemy had at
last been placed in his pdwer,nnd Mr.
Simpson proposed that there should
be a plentiful settling of old scores.
When Mr. Hadley-Benton and his
large number of carefully sealed sam
ples from the "Esperanza" reached
Simpson's assay office later that week,
the latter person was entirely and
deferentially nt the disposal of the
lordly capitalist, only Simpson pre
ferred-in fact, stipulated-that Had
ley-Benton himself should unseal the
samples, with his own hands, and re
main in the assaying offices? that ih?
entire process,from grinding the sam
ples down to the weighing of the gold
residue, could be carefully witnessed
and overlooked by him. For, as Mr.
Hadley-Benton must realize, assaying
such valuable ore as that of the "Es
peranz'a" was a serious matter, partic
ularly where, as iii- the present case,
there were no other assayers to check
against, aud one man's results had to
be accepted.
This was "quite in order, " Mr. Had
ley-Benton stated, and with his own
hands he nndid the seals that he had
placed on the - jute sacks containing
his precious samples, and watched
pompously the while Mr. Simpson
heated up his furnaces, deftly ground
up the samples, Weighed the pulp car?
fully? ttnd then poured it i?t? the cru
cibles containing his gold flux, first
insisting that the Englishman test the
flux itself, to prove that it was abso
lutely free from gold, so that any pos
sible "salting" might be prevented.
With all of this Mr. Hadley-Benton
declared himself "content.
The final parting of the silver-gold
buttons was done with the greatest
possible care and slowness. And well
that it was, for the resnlts given by
each and every aBsay were so exceed
ingly high that Mr. Hadley-Benton
might have been incredulous had he
not watched the process from first to
last. There were 15 different assays
on which each duplicate checked its
original; there was no discrepancy of
any sort, and the total average gave a
result in gold of eleven and two-tenths
ounces to the ton!
Would the "Esperanza" pay to
work? Mr. Simpson's results proved
that question very conclusively, and
Hadley-Benton fairly flew to the tele
graph office, where he, after much dif
ficulty and serious struggles with the
Spanish tongue and telegraph clerks^
sent a cablegram to his London di
rectors and stockholders, authorizing
them to boom the "Esperanza Gold
Mines, Limited," for all they were
worth, to ship out at once the con
templated stamp mill and cyanide
plaut (cost one quarter of a million)
and to draw upon him for any and all
extra funds desired.
So much for the "Esperanza Gold
Mines,Limited," of London and Mex
ico, and so much for poor Mr.Hadley
Beutou, M. P., whose reputation aud
private fortune were alike lost iu tho
ven tin e. Because, long after the plant
and stamp mill were installed, aud
more money than I care to name irre
trievably sunk in the "Esperanza," it
was found that the ore of the mine
ran, at very highest estimate, exactly
one-tenth of au ounce iu gold, or not
even high enough to pay workiug
charges. Truly "poor Mr. Hadley
Benton," for he had taken the sam
ples, watched and approved the mak
ing of assays therefrom, and he alone
it was upon whom the wrath of stock
holders and directors fell when it was
discovered that the "Esperanza" was
a dead failure, not to say the greatest
8windia of-modern-iimes^ ?
No one, not even Hadley-Benton
himself, can account for the matter.
No one ever offered any explanations
as to how such fabulous results were
secured from utterly worthless ore.
Even the assayer, Mr. John Simpsou,
professes himself as lost in amazeineut
at the way the "Esperanza" turned
out. But, of course, as everyone real
izes and coucedes, he had nothing to
do with the matter, and cannot there
fore be held responsible. But, all the
same, Mr. Simpson knows-even as
we do-that a hypodermic syringe can
be used successfully for inore purposes
thau one, and, unluckily for Hadley
Bentou, chloride of gold is soluble, and
may be injected through the heaviest
of jute sacking.-San Francisco Argo?

Took It All Rieht.
This rich old uncle is a bachelor
and spends his summers iu a sort of
hermitage on au inland lake. When
he comes to spend a month or so with
his brother in Detroit it is the uncle's
chief delight to tell his young nephews
of his boyhood escapades. He never
told of a prauk that he did not close
with the declaration that boys are not
what they used to be and that he was
convinced that it was a bad sign for
the future.
Uncle dreads a Ara and never re
tires iu a uew sleeping place without
takiug his beariugs carefully with a
view to learning the speediest and
surest way of escape. The nephews
learned ot this and naturally decided
to.show uncle that the spirit of boy
hood was still existent.
It happened to be the first night
there was snow on the ground. At 1
a. m. the youngest nephew, not yet
8, rushed along the hallway by uncle's
door, lustily yelling "Fire!" Uncle
lauded in the middle of the floor with
one motion, never stopped to make a
toilet, threw open a window, sprang
upon the roof of the veranda and was
rushing to shin down a post, when
the other two nephews opened a ter
rific assault with snowballs. During
the minute of confusion required to
take in the situation he was plastered
from his bald head to his bare feet,
dove back through the window, went
shivering back to bed and swore
"scand'l'ous."
His first idea was to have the boys
thrashed, and thrashed plenty. As
the gooseflesh began to leave and he
felt the welcome glow of warmth, he
chuckled, then laughed aloud. Next
day he came down town and made
a will. Each one of those boys will
be well fixed.-Detroit Free Press. .
The "W r 1 Queer.
The word queer has a remarkable
origin attributed to it. One night,
when the performance at Drury Lane
was finished, the celebrated Quin,
many of whose jokes are still remem
bered, offered to bet a young noble
man ?500 that next morning a word
would be iu universal use which had
never been heard befo e. The noble
man accepted the wager and left the
theatre. Then Quin summoned all
the "supers," who happened to be
very Humorous, and gave each a large
piece of chalk. He told them to go
to the leading thoroughfares of Lon
don and write at intervals on the flags
the word "Queer." Quin's orders
were faithfully carried out, and, on
the following morning, of course,
people were astonished-the word
was in everybody's mouth. The great
actor with lit*'e difficulty made his
claim to the nobleman's bank note,
while bequeathing a new word to thu i
language.
