Other People's Convenience. We ought to think of other people's convenience more thau some of us do. The homo is the place where this thoughtfulncss ought to begin and be cultivated. Oue who comes late to breakfast admits that he is guilty of an amiable self-indulgence, but forgets that lie has marred the harmonious flow ol the household life and caused confusion and extra work.

CONVBItSK. fX O K B R o WNKLL and Hugh Morris, two chums of mine,and I wore roughing it West. The camp we had selected for our headquarters was far up in the wild m,; (, bp v est part of Coloraf//f C? do. and onlv num. l-i fct. / Ituvcd ii bilker's I V A dozen of olil, al- I * gj 11 n,ost tumble-down vV^Blll 1' w u r c stretched _ff f/ nn V|V along the eastern ffSW.'t \ |(| tot- H ^dgo of a deep rnd B~V2-'/' I ?**$ ,A I.' picturesque ravine \j 1 Jyyt along whose base its In \i \ 8 1 "'d y denizens V II Yt suu'< their gloomy * looking shafts. Our cabin stood a little removed from its neighbors, up the ravine. The view from its doorstep was magnificent. The rugged peaks of tall mountains towered at the west, forming an admirable lramc for its grand sunsets; at the cast lay inviting green valleys broken by oddly winding passes, while here and there rose slighter peaks in tine contrast with their emerald beauty. Wc sat about the doorstep ore night reading the mail the stage luul just brought. 1 had two letters, Jack and Hughes, each one. Hugh finished his first, and when 1 hid read mine I saw he was regarding Jack with apparent, interest aud amusement. Jack's face was brightening more and more, every won! he read of his dainty, scented little message. He was a handsome fellow then. His head was crowned with wavy, golden hair; he wore no beard, his eyes were large, dark brown, and his build was almost faultless. "Is it from Dresden?" finally ventured Hugh. Jack nodded. We smiled. Then he turned one of the leaves nearly upside down and kept on reading. The next page, too, had writing up its side, j as we told b}- liis tilting it; but liint was | iuc cun, anU lie exclaimed : "Hoys, 1 am the happiest fellow in the glorious United States! Do you congratulate me?" "I never knew you two cared for each other," cried Hugh, jumping at the conclusion Jack's words hiutcl. "Anil now you say you arc open to congratulations! Do you really mean it?" I also stammered something, I forgot" just what. "Yes, the heart of stern Papa Hastings was melted by my lervid supplications," cried Jack, tossing his hat into the air, boyishly. "Now you two know the secret reason why I have lost ten pounds avoirdupois in the last three weeks. It was not my climbing these perpendicular hillsides. The old ogre wanted to force Belle into marrying some lout of a lord over there. it is a wonder i have not gone stark, staring mad." lie opened the little billet-doux and read: " 'His name is Claverhouse, and he has two or more castles, and is one ot its immortelles, ami j>.ij>.i likes liiin hugely, but 1 put my foot down against marrying iiim. ! would rather my?' " Jack stopped there, Mushing hotly, ami derided not to lead further. I feel as good as I would"if I happened on to a ton of gold up in the hills," he exclaimed. "If we were in New York I would take you fellows down to fuel's and give you the hest supper he could serve." * 'lint as wc arc not?" queried Hugh. "Come in and hum a pipeful of bootto-) tobacco with me," lie laughingly cx. claimed. i Ho gajiy led the way into our little cabin as bespoke, and soon wc were sitting around the shaky table puDing our corncobs mid chatting merrily about Jack's good news, a cloud of blue smoke hanging over our heads. "Somehow this subject suggests one I have intended to broach three or four times before," said Hugh, after a while. ii V/>- :? a..'i ! - *,w, .i i.-mi i. .ui\uiiii ^ 11kc j;u:X S announcement," ho added, as we .starled to jcke him. Slowly he knocked the ashes from his pipe by striking it :i4.1111 it the edge of the table, and then tilted his box?that cabin had never known a chair?against the wall, lie had an unruly mustache, and he tugged at it as he said: "Monti." "What of Monti?" naked Jack. "I am afraid he will do some mischief before We leave here." "Nonsense," insisted Jack. "He is ns reliable as any greaser." "Idwrdly like hia look*," I acknowl edged. "You remember I advised uot hiring hiui, at tho first. I think wpj should get rid of him." "Bat i am learning a lot of Spanish from him," exclaimed Jack. "And we three athletes need hardly fear one thin greaser, who appears as weak as the proverbial cat." "I have heard von say 'si scnor' once or twice," twitted Hugh. "I hardly think you will gain a hoard of knowledge fiom Montf, and I say with Cad, net rid of him. You are likely never to see Belle Hastings again if you don't; I run a chance of never putting foot on Broadway, ami Cad the same. Shall we givo mm nis walking papers when he appears to-morrow?" "No, no," ploadcd Jack, "I rather like him, too, for his Castiliuu airs. Wo have weapons. Let us keep hun. That he is useful you .cannot deny." We finally gave up arguing with Jack, aud let the matter drop. Monti's services wore not dispensed with the next day. He continued to tutor Jack in Spanish, carry our packs when wo made our little excursions thereabouts, and to religiously collect his pay at oventide cacli day. Thus did a wcok slip by. On one of our rambles during that time, we came upon a fissure in a ravine's rocky sidti, where wo thought gold might bo fburntt It lay about two miles east of the camp in a little bit of tlinberlaud. We had worked a day or so in the shafts suuk by the miners of tho camp, for the novelty of the experience, and wheu we discovered this opening, one of us suggested that we put a blast in it and see if we could lay bare any veins of precious metal. Tho proposition was received with favor, atid wo settled on a day for the experiment. On tho morning of that day, we set out for the promising spot, Monti carrying a can of powder and other accessories for the blast. Hugh and I took our guns with us. We reached the spot in about au hour and a half. Then Monti dropped his load at the edge of the fissure, nud we started to prepare the blast. But our drill was missing. It had either slipped from Monti's load or been left behind. "Monti," said Hugh disgustedly, "get buck to the cabiu, 113 quick us your thin shanks will carry you, and bring a drill. Look along the ground, too, as you go ?you may find ours dropped by souio stone." "Si, seuor," the fellow returned. "We will take a little ruu down the raviue for gaine while you are gone? hey, Cad?" Hugh added. "All right," I exclaimed. "And I will try a snooze here, meanwhile," said Jack. lie stretched himself lazily upon a mossy knoll as he spoke, threw his coat over the powder keg for a pillow, and pulled at his corncob contentedly. It was a pleasant spot for a nap. A stunted little maple gave him shade; the stream flowing through the rocks, ten feet distant, sang a melodious, sleepiuducing lullaby. "I should have bad dreams with such a head-rest" said Hugh looking down at Jack's blond locks and smiling face. "And I, too, scnor," added Monti. "You won't forget to put that pipe out?" "Oh, no," laughed Jack. We separated then. Monti hurried off toward the cabin and Hugh aud I walked up the raviuc. "If we get anything out of that hole ?k. .?.II .1- ? i.

"Or a glove buttoner." "Yes," laughed Hugh. We went on a little further, and our wqy was dually barred by a steep asccut. I proposed that we return to Jack. II lgh was willing and we retraced our steps. We said little. Haeh was on the alert for game. A rabbit would make a very acceptable stew, but not a single cottontail crossed our path. Hugh tugged at his refractory mustache spitefully in his disappointment as he preceded me. A walk of tea minutes brought us to the bend in the ravine where Jack awaited us. When we turned it wc beheld a tableau I shall long remember. Jack lay sleeping quietly and over him bent the panther-like form of Monti. The greaser's sallow face bore a liendish siuilc. He rested oa one knee, ami in his right hand lie held a burning match, lie had not heard our approach, and he was on the point of applying the match to a hit of fuse he had inserted ia the stopper of the powder keg on which Jack's head rested. Hugh threw bis ride to Ins shoulder and pulled the trigger. Monti sprang hack and fell with a low groan. I would have tired if I had not just unloaded my ....... 1 1 1 nl.a|iuil, Illltn DiiU'lva ?1? uuu lUU.iUU about him ia surprise. "Your Spanish professor was gottiug a little too officious" exclaimed Hugh grimly, to him, 'as we came forward, and lie told Jack of what wo had caught Mouti at, while I made sure that the treacherous villaiu's match hud not ignited the fuse. "What's up bore?" cried one of three men, from the camp, coining upon us just then. "We heard a shot." Monti lay groaning and cursing by the maple's roots, and crying out that wo had tried to murder him. 80 I told them the facts of the case; and Jack's 1 pocket-book which fell from Monti's pocket continued our suspicion that Monti intended to rob Jack and have tho powder explosion cover his crime. The miners listened attentively to tho explanation, and then one of them seized the wounded greaser and started off campward, beckoning for hi9 companions to follow, which they did, after a "Oood by, gents," to us. "A miss is as good as a mile," cried Jack, shortly, picking up the drill Monti had brought while we were away. "Now for our gold mine." "Yon will not engage another Spauish instructor?" queried Hugh. "Not if I live to bo a hundred 1" returned Jack determinedly attacking the rock, with an extia vim. "I once was foolish enough to think only the story book greaser was a villain. Now I place no reliance on one of them." Wo drilled and blasted the rest of the day, and that rock-pocket yielded enough gold for a really inassivo solid table-set for a present to Belle Hastings. ? Yankee UUu.lt.< _ itougli Diamonds In a Chicken's Crop. A few days ago C. Jacobson, of Hastings, Neb., received word from a firm in Butte City, Montana, that one of their customers, a Mrs. White, had found three rough diamonds in tho craw of a chicken sold by them a few (lays bofora Christmas. Mr. Jacobson is u large poultry shipper,and supplies his honnerv witii gravel from the bed of tho Blue Jtiver, seven miles south of Hastings. The curiosity of several miners in Butte City was aroused by the discovery, anil Jacobson has received many letters inipiiring us to wbero lie secured the sand. Mrs. White submitted the three rough stones to a jeweler in Huttc for inspection, and he pronouncid them diamonds and offered her a good price for them, but she refused and has sent thorn East to be cut.

"I was bunting on the barrens between tho Buckbill Creek and tho middle Branch of Brodshead Creek. Thirty or forty rods away, I saw a bear dauciug around somcthiug on the ground, and 1 laid my rifle across a stump and got behind it. I watched the bear just as Mr. Sweet did the one on tho water tunk, kuowing that I could reach hitn with a bullet the minute he undertook to make himself scarce. From his actions 1 judged that tho bear was angry about something, but I couldn't sec what he was dauoing around, and I kept my iifle aimed at him, so as to tire the iru 1 I staut I saw ho was croinur to loare the 1 open for the brush.
