THE AUDITOR'S WIFE.
IQ-H GIRTED
"Silo" Burton was
"in the hands of his
t-JQM M friends" for the
fourth time, after the
I ,U/i ancient and honor*
WfitfJ custom of can\P"fft^>
didatea 'or political
y\ ' \ Jf ^ preferment.
cif*. " ^ That Sile Burton,
t auditor of Apache
/ County, was m the
hands of his friends
jff A was literally true, on
' " ' this particular occasion,
for Site was a very sick man. It
was his own fault, that is, he had no
business to go, as he did, with Sheriff
Tom Owens, to suppress that riot over
in the Bloomer District, last month. It
was not in the line of his duties. But,
then, the call had been a hasty and imperative
one, and poor Tom was short
i." deputies as well as being pressed for
time, and Sile could hardly have refused
to go even if he had wanted to, which
be did not. He enjoyed a little row as
well as the Sheriff himself did, and, bosides,
he was one of the most obliging
incn in the world. So ho went, and
not only got hit with a club or something,
but received a 44-bulletin his interior
department, while Tom and the
rest of tho posse escaped without a
scratch. one wa3 better now, and could
think with considerable facility; which
was unfortunate, perhaps, because his
thoughts were mostly of his expiring
term of office and his helpless condition.
It was pretty tough, everybody agreed,
because it was going to be a "closo"
year, and Sile was a great worker. His
friends, ioo, unfortunately were kept
pretty busy looking out for their own
scalps, and could not give his affairs the
attention they needed.
There was the last payment still duo on
the house; there was "paper" in the bank
to be taken up; Sile Burton was in a bad
financial way, because, in addition to
being what is known as a "good fellow,"
he had made some unfortunate investments
lately, and now, to complete his
misery and overflow the cup, Brad Boutwell,
of Chloride District, had come out,
in his sneaking but effective way, for
Jcre Ilobart for county auditor, and was
working night and day for his man, who
had hcen Si'e's strongest opponent in the
last convention. Ob, it wns rough, and
here wns Sile, lying helpless, with the
nominating convention only two weeks
away!
All this, and much more, Sile poured
into the tats ol his pretty little wife, as
6he hovered over liira attending to his
many wants, in the way that nobody but
a woman, and a womanly woman, ever
will learn. She did not say so, but alio
lmd a talk with Tom Owens that day,
aud he had ngiced with her that the outlook
was pretty blue; for Brad Boutwcll,
boss of the Mouutain Girl and two lesser
mines, employer of three huudrcd men
aaii an entirely unscrupulous politician,
was about the worst man in the county
to have on the other side, aud lie had
assured Owens that he certainly intended
to defeat Burton's rcnomination, and
"that's all there is in it. It goes, too,
what Brad Boutwell says: and you know
it, Tom Owens.
Yes, Tom did know it, and he knew
that without Boutwell liisowu uauie was
"Dennis,"for he had not the strength in
the precincts near town that Burton had.

nothing for bile in the Chloride District.
Mi?. Burton said nothing to Sile of
Tom's visit to the boss of Chloiide. She
closed his complaining lips with a kiss
every norv and theu, and chirped away
as cheer fully as though mortgages, and
unpaid notes, and big surgeon's bills,
and conventions had never a part in her
li'c. And nil this time she kept up a
"blame tight o' thinkin',"- as Tom
Owens used to say to his wife, who was
alto an ardent admirer of the little
"tenderfoot" bride Sile Burtcn had
brought from the States a few months
ago.
Sile Burton was sleeping soundly text
morning, when his wife, the usual simlo
gone from her face, stole up to his bedside,
kissed him softly two or three
times, and ran over to the Owens's. It
was not until ten o'olock that he awoke
and noticed that the woman bv the window
was not Mary, but Mrs. Owens.
And he did not know that this kindly,
big-hearted woman fibbed when she told
him that Mary had "just gono down to
the Springe to get a prescription filled
that they couldn't put up here, and
would be back on the two thirty train."

respectfully by the numerous men loafing
about?for women were scarco in
Chloride, tripped down tho street, trying
to look unconscious, and entered the
door of Brad Boutwell's office. It wa3
the noon hour, and he was alone, on
gngvu in uie pleasurable occupation of
disposing of an excellent luncli. He
heard the hesitating step in the outer
? dice, and stepped to the door of his
sanctum, where he stood, somewhat
taken aback at the sight of his visitor.
It was several seconds after her sweet
voice had asked *'Is thio Mr. Boutwell?"
that he recovered his equanimity and
gracefully acknowledged the fact.
"I am Mrs. Burton?Mrs. Silas Burton.
I came to see, you?to?to?"
But her courage gave out for the
moment, and she did the very best thing
she could have done?just wept a few

Houtwcll,
Tilmsclf said, "My dear madam ed" her,
stammered, grew red io the face, vaguely
felt hiimeir a triumphant ass, and finally
lod her gently to a chair, where she
finished her weep.
Then she pulled herself together and
told hira the whole pitiful talc. It was,
indeed?thought Boutwell, who ha.,
always hurl more money than he hao
known what to do with?a hnrrowlu-;
v'utc of affairs; and so, his brchcloi
eartoverflowing with sympathy for thr
i nor, frightened little emissary who sal
before him, and being, it must be said,
lather unsettled by this extraordinary
viait, he agreed, almost before he knew
it, to let tbe affair alone, and switch th? 1
ambitious Hobart off the trtfck. Then, *
with hei heartiest handshake, a world j
u? tluu-LTuluuM tuiiiiog in her big, 1
brown eyes, and ferveut words of gratitude
on her sweet lips, the little mis- ]
sioDaiy was gone, and Boutwell, hit '
brain in a. whirl, sat down to think. i
Well, by Jove 1 Now he had done it I
Why, great sacrificed Csssart The thing
was impossible, utterly I He rushed to
the door. His visitor was not in ,
sight. He sat down to think more calmly
this time.
In politics there are complications no
man can overlook or ignore. There are
multifarious considerations and obligations
that must be attended to, and
whose existence is due, more often than
not, to circumstances whose discovery by
the unsympathetic would be a calamity
to the individual or individuals most interested.
This case was such an one.
Hobart had a ''cinch" on the boss of
Chloride, and was master of tbe situation,
and no ono knew it so well as did
Jcre himself, who was never slow about
gratifying opportunities.
Thus Boutwell communed with himself,
and the result was much perspiration
and an uncomfortablo conscience.
"Well, no use shedding any tears,"
he said, aloud; "but, by JovaJ I wish
I could keep my word with the little,
woman. What a little duck she is, and
how Burton ought to congratulate himself

kept from starving during the strike a few j
months before, by the charity of thO|
"little duck" and her husband, and who:
had awakened from his noonday nap under
the office window about ten minutos
previously, chuckled softly to himself and
sneaked away, remarking, as be reached;
the Etrcet:
"O-hol Thot's it, is utl A-hal Teddy,

And he hid his dinner-pail and started ;
down the trail for the county-seat, \
whistling glcetully.

Of Mrs. Burton's second interview with'
the smooth Mr. Boutwell, it is unnecessary
to speak at length. It was uncom-1
fortable for him, but he kept his wits ;
about him and did not lower his flag, :
and Mrs. Burton wcut away with a white, j
drawn face?and with the set lips of a
brave little woman who has made up her
mind to something.
* ? * *
The day for the convention dawnedTho
visitors from the outside precincts,
including those from Chloride, were all
on hand to see the fun. It was almost
time to call tho convention to order, but
two or three delegations had not arrived.
The Chloride delegation was one of;
these. The visitors from that catnp repotted
that the delegation had only
stopped to hold a pow-wow in Chairlinn's
Rout, well's office, and would hn
along soou. Jere Iloburt, as luck would
imvc it, had gotten a "jag" on the night
before, and was in bed at his quarters
in Chloride, as the result of a fall into
the cellar of the Nugget saloon. He
might have pulled himself together and
gone over to Apache, but everything
was ''fixed" and there was no need, he
concluded.
The Chairman of the County Central
Committee called the convention to order,
and read the call. The convention
effected a temporary organization and
the usual committees were appointed,
during whose deliberations a recess was
taken.
Tom Owens came to Mrs. Burton,
who, with a number of other women
whose husbands or brothers were interested,
directly or otherwise, in the proceedings,
was sitting in the gallery.
Owens spoke quicsly and earnestly:
"The Chloride crowd isn't here yet.
Ilohart's too sick to come. If Boutwell
could only be kept away, it'd be O. K.
for Sile. lie's the only man that can

if only they wouldn't come!
I?"
Jiut hero he was sent lor in great
haste by the anxious constituent, and
hurried away. When, ton minutes
later, lie looked up at tho gallery, Mrs.
Burton was missing.
The six men composing the Chloride
delegation were in a hurry, and, in
lSoutwcll's three seated spring-wagon,
behind his big grays, were making good
time for Apache.
There is a deep ravine, nearly always
dry, on the trail between Apache and
Chloride, that has to be crossed carefully.
It is an abrupt descent and a yet
more abrupt asceut, and the trail on the
Apache side of the gully is flanked by
big rocks, which sheltered many a highwayman
in the old days. The delegaa:
t U.il 4..-4 i a it
uuu uuiu uuiunue unit jusv rcacuuu mis
spot, and Boutwell was urging tho
horse9 up the steep incline, when short,
and sharp, and firm, in a woman's voice,
camc_lb? ^omraand:
The six men in the wagon could hardly
believe their senses. Sitting beside the
big rock on the left, very pale, but with
compressed lips, and eyes that flashed
fire and determination, sat a small woman,
with a big Winchester, and the weapon
was cocked and aimed at Brad Boutwell.
The six men in the wagon raved aud
stormed; they pleaded, begged, and
threatened; "out Cue Tittle woman on the
rock spoke only once, and then said:
"Bradford Boutwell, you gave me your

to-day it will probably kill him,
and that is what you intended?to defeat
him, after your promise to me. Now,
air, if you so much as attempt to move
from here, you or any of the others, I1
will kill you."
That was all; but Brad Boutwcll, looking
at the set face, knew that she would
keep her word, and his seat mate's suggestion
that such was the case, was met

rary organization was made permanent,
and the Apache County Convention was
in full swing.
"Nominations for county auditor are
now in order," announced the chairman,
and, a moment later, "Mr. Randall has
the floor."
Tiollis Randall, the brilliant young
district attoiney, rose and made one of
the best speeches of his life, setting forth
clearly, convincingly, the merits, the
claims, the woith of the present incumbent,
and when he told of the unfortunate
man, lying so ill aa the result of a
round Incurred in the discharge of une
warded duties not hit own?fighting
n defense of the law?there was a rouang,
prolonged cheer.
Randall finished amid uproarious applause,
and sat down, mopping his forebead
with his handkerchief. There was a
moment's "vociferous silence," during
which there were some rapid changes of
lentiment on the part of Hobart delegates.
Then "Pop" Gordon rose.
"Mr. Chairman, I more that the nomination
of Mr. Burton be made by acclamation,
thar seemin' t' be no more
nominations."
"Second the motion! Second the motion!"
came lrom a dozen throats.
"Mr. Chairman I" screamed a Hobart
"faithful." "I call the gentleman to?"
Here Bill Dover, chairman of the dissenter's
delegation, grabbed him by the
;oat tails and pulled him down. Bill
was an astute politician, and he knew the
lay was lo?t. But the enthusiast would
not "down." When the ayes and noes
were called for, he and a half score of
others came out strongly in the negative,
md when further nominations were declared
in order, he rose and nominated
Jere Hobart.
The ballot stood sixty-three to thirtyseven
in Burton's favor, and Tom
Owens, forgetting that in a few minutes
the nominations for sheriff would br
made, dashed over to Site's houso with
the news, and was surprised to learn
that anxious little Mrs. Burton was not
there.
But. the Chloride visitors who left to
convey the news of Hobart s defeat
homo were more surprised than Owens,
when they suddenly found, on tho way
home, where the missing delegation was,
aud why it was missing, and it almost
took their breath, and the delegation's,
away, to see that fire-eating Amazon od
the rock collapse into very weak tears
When she heard the glad news.
Hobart and his frieuds were mad, ot
course; but one can not make war on a
woman, you know, and, besides, most
of them came to look on the matter,
after awhile, as a huge joke.
Boutwell? I am inclined to think,
alter it was over, that he was rather
glad than otherwise.?The Argonaut.
The World's Largest Active Volcano.
Hawaii is chiefly famous for its volcanoes,
says the Ariatio Quarterly. Kilauea,
the largest nctivo volcano in the
world, lies on the side of the mountain
Mauna Loa, at an elevation of four thousand
feet. Wo usually think of an elevation
as a cone, but Kiiauea is rather a
great sunken pit, in the midst of a vast
desolate plain which slopes up gently to
the summit of the mountain: It is a pit
of no leas than nine miles in circumference
and the area of its lowest level is six
square miles. The level varies; but it
is at present six hundred feet below the
surrounding country, and is reached by
a steep descent down the sheer face of a
precipice, which extends right around
the crater, and, as it were, walls it in.
Within the crater, toward its southern
end, is an inner crater, with ono or more
lakes of fire, culled Ilaleraaumau, or
House of Everlasting Burnings, which
constitute the true chimnoy of the volcano.
Here Kilauea exhibits its ceaseless
activity. In the outer crater occasional
grand eruptions occur, but signs
of the slumbering forces below are ever
present in the form of blowing cones and
steam cracks, varying in size from narrow
clefts to great fissures, from which
issue puffs aud clouds of steam, fumes of
hot poisonous gases, and, from some,
liquid lnva. The general bed is made
up of countless lava flows, of a variety of
forms and contortions difficult to describe.
At times it is surrounded by a
circle of crags, thrown up from tho lake
in a molten state and solidified as they
rose. They tower above the level of the
outer basin to the height of 400 to 600
feet. From the top one gazes downward
into a sea of Liquid fire.?Boston

learn much from the Coroans, who appear
in the following story to keep alive
the ancient notion that nothing should
be too good for the stranger within theii
gates. When Admiral Shufeldt went tc
the hermit Nation to arrange for a treaty,
Mias Shufeldt missed a valuable bracelet,
the theft of which was duly reported t<
the proper authorities. Suspicion rested
on two natives, who were taken before
iuu uuiuutu auu suojeuum cu a uuutuus
examination. The officials found that
no incriminating evidence could be ob
tained against the suspected culprits, and
informed Miss Shufeldt of the fact, but
added, in a spirit of courtesy, "If madam
wishes, however, we will at once cut of
the heads of both men."?Boston Tran
