It was one of the cheapest of "nn painied,? redwood houses, long since turned black by the rains of Home forgotten California winter, but over ihe door and under the window clambered a luxuriant rosebush with shining leaves and clustering bunches of some tiny rose which had a spicy fragrance, faint and sweet as some far away pleasant memory: Jn the little garden which sloped down to the road were a lew flowers; few enough to be tended by one pair of hands, and showing loving nurture by their rank and beautiful blosoms. "Margaret!" called a feeble..fretful piece from somewhere within the black coliage. Margaret was in the small garden; a small girl, will? a soft bloom on her rounded checks, and a pair of hazel, electrical eyes; not pretty-?far'from it?but a woman who drew hearts to herself as a magnetdoes iron Illings; you felt it when you met her eyes. She bad been tending heir plants, and even now held in her fingers a half opened blood red rose; she was stand'ng in the narrow pathj looking too tall for her small and mean sur rutuling.?, and ga: 'nig down the dusty and ugly road, now at its dustiest and ugliest; "Margaret !*' again called the querulous voice; you could easily be lieve that none would call that wo man ' .Maggie," she looked every inch so true lo her beautiful name. Yet shcsiill slrioil, halfsmiling, halfblush iiig. and neither answered nor turne.1 lb go in; and yet one could see but a dusly horseman on adtisly horse coin ing swiftly up the road. When be j reached the gate he drew in the rein.}, and raised his hat with a citified Margaret blushed and smiled, and ' uttered poir.eil'ingunintelligible, i "How is your mother to-day?" I askul the euS'alicr; ".Shout the same, thank yo*.i." She spoke but clearly, ihen. and a ringing. ; ehanu'iig voice she had. Mure commonplaces followed, about the weather, t'.io dusty road, the b.ill that wits coining oil in Mo I Kuitrvji barn, and then the feeble voice wailed again : ?"Margaret, Margaret 1" She start ed guiltily, as though she had not beard iL before. "Excuse me," she i-.'iid, "mother is (.ailing inc." "At least/'" said the horseman, "be slow that beautiful rose upon me." She went down to Uicgarden fence Mid handed it to him. and somehow, whether it was handed too hastily, or laken too awkwardly, the vicious thorn ran into her linger, and made her 'Jve a litile half cry of pain. He held her hand then, saying : "What a shame! I was so awk ward ! May I cure it in my mother's way, MUS Margaret?" She Know;she guessed.and hcknew she did; but she said quickly?he thought her voice a very sweet.one? 'What was your mothers way ?" I hen in 1 he same breath : "Yes, if it is a good one." And the foolidi blood from Mar g;uet Lily's' heart thrilled in every vein when he stooped by hishorso's lu .id. lind kissed the hurt linger again and again. '?Margaretj" came the feeble voice. Oh! Mr. Cranbourne 1" she cried. "Jjct mc go; I must ge into mother." j Mi. Cranbourne let tho lingers go, I and smiled a queer smile as he watch ed her go up the path in her free, swinging graceful way. He smiled a queer smile for some minulcs as he dantered down the dusty road; poor Margaret, with her open heart, would not havo likod it could she have seen it on his face; the .smile on hers was wonderfully differ ent as she opened the low door and went into the little parlor.' '?Whatever has kept you so long?" said her moth?)', a fretful, palsied, und partly paralyzed woman, not ' very old, but looking oil. Li IV. ' he said. "Forgive me, mother d;ar," said Margaret, stooping to kiss her?her heart wuR full of strange and blissful peace; "1 am sorry I kept you waiting, but Mr. Cranbourne was at the gate." "And who's Mr. Cranbourne, who keeps you from your mother? Are you going to marry him ?" "Oh! mother, don't!" she said, eutrcutingly, yet somewhat with a queer half-passionate hopo thrilling through her; "I scarcely know him, you know. He boards at Mattic's, and I have only met him twice before." "What docs he look like ?" said the mother, with a half proud, half jeal ous t'mo in her quavering voice; she remembered very well, although she did not think it needful to tell Mar- 1 garet, that Maltic Holmes had "teased" her daughter on the con: quod- she had made, and she jumped at the conclusion that Margaret was 1 ill love with the stranger, and the stranger was in love with .Margaret? did not all the men fall in love with her? lint her guess was less than half J the truth, for Margaret was not quite in love, and the stranger?be bad seen a great deal of the world, and had riot come to this little half civi lised California town to find a wife, even if her voice was sweet and her eyes full of magnetic light. Margaret made no answer; she shook and turned the pillow under her mother's bead, changed the foot rest, and went to the well and drew lor the invalid a glass of water from the ''coldest corner." "Thanks, dear," she said. "Forgive me, mother," said Mar garet, wistfully, as she took the glass. "Yes." was the reply, a trifle im patient; "but tell me what he looks like." : " " ? i ' * ' "How can I ?" she replied. "I never can describe peop'e, mother." "You could describe Gomez well enough when you first saw hin. was the reply. "Well," said Margaret, the bloom deepening on her rounded cheeks, "he has black eyes, 1 think." "Is he lall P "N no," hesitated Margaret, "I think not." " is he handsome ?" "Yes 1" ? she answered, promptly? "at least all the girls think so." "Do you l hink so ?" "Y-ycs," she hesitated again, "I think so, mother. There comes Gomez." Gomez was a 4 Greaser," dark skin lied and undersized. His devotion to tall, fair Margaret Lily was the joke of the neighborhood, and very funny to all but the two chiefly concerned. Margaret was sorry; and Gomez, knowing he might ns well be in love with the princess of the moon, was in despair. Nevertheless, ho had accept cd with delight an oiler to milk the cow, attend to the kitchen garden, and do odd chores about the little, black house; did he not by that means see his divinity twice a day ? Margaret handed him the milk pail, and proceeded to build the fire for supper; dreaming over her work the plcasantest dreams that had ever risen in her heart to make her happy. Ralph Cranbourne's queer' smile would have broadened and lingered if ho could have known; her face looked so full of peaeo that Goruez sat upon the woll curb to smoke his cigarette, whero he could watch her; he always liked to watch her cooking supper"; perhaps he dreamed queer di cams too. Sometimes Margaret caught a glimpse of his black eye?, and turned back to her labor with a vaguo mi tnsiucsv; sho wished for a moment that they lived nearer the little town, or had nearer neighbors whero the}' were; for Gomez did not bear tho best of reputations, and was suspected of riding at night in strange company for an honest man. When supper was ready sho wheel ed in hor mother's chair, and Gomez came to the door, said in a brief "adios," and departed. "When docs tho ball come oil ?" asked the mother, "Next Friday." "Arc you going?" ?'If Mrs; Mill can conic to stay with you, I would Jike to." "What will you wear?" "I have -little enough," replied Margaret, "but I must make that lit tle do." "Your white dress?" She nodded; then .?igbcd : ' If we were not so pour." "You'll have beaux o tough," an swered the mother, and strange to say the words grated on Margaret's ear, and she managed to change the sub ject. Yet it was true enough; the limp while drcss-f Siarch was not an article in common use in Lost Chance dig gings?oiling to her shapely form, and made her look goddess-like in the eyes of her admirers; to the contrary, not withstanding Miss Tonipkins' remark : ?'That drcss jooks like a rag." The womejii who sat upon the rough benches around MeKinlry's barn bore little love to Margaret; her only de fender was flattie Holmes. Years ago, when little Joe hud walked out nearly to the end of the dizzy plank whicli had been used in some primi tive way for raising hay into ihe b ira loft, Margaret's eyes anil Margaret's smile had won him back, and the spring of gratitude bubbled up in Maltie's heart ever after; all the more because Hi tie Joe had sickened and died the summer alter and no one could do aught for him again. When Ci;anbournu first met Mar garet aud evidently felt the charm of her eyes, Mallic told him this story, and it lingered in his memory, so that every time he saw her there were moments th t he fancied that he saw in her lacothe same look which had coaxed the little boy back faoni his perilous place, when one startled word would have caused bis death. At the close of the bull (hanbouruu asked Mallic how her friend was going to get home. "?Father and I syc going with her," was the answer. "Won't 1 do as well ?" he asked, eoaxingly. "Your father don't want to take that long walk." "Of course you will," said Maggie, delighted. "I'll tell pa." Margaret's cheeks and eye? lighted up alike when ho asked her, and a smothered thought went fioin her heart to heaven?albeit MeKinlry's barn was hardly the place to pray in ?"Thank you, my Father." And when, the walk over, she went into her liny room, she fell upon her knees with a feeling that she had never dreamed of before, ' Oh, my Faihcv, il it eon Id be !" And so the weeks slipped into months, and Margaret began to feel that youth and love made up the sum of life; she could have fallen down and kissed his very footprints when be went away from the collage door; and one nig ht he put his anus around her and told her that be loved her. The "strange company" in which Gomez had been suspected of riding had become strung and daring; house after house had been surrounded, the men and women lied or shot, and the contents rilled. A1 nut hier of peculiar atrocity committed by these Spanish bandits had caused the formation of a vigilance committee, in which was enrolled the, name of eve ry able bodied man in LastChance diggings aud the neighborhood. ('ran bourne, who had come there in search id*novelty and excitement, was among tho first to volunteer, and tho very next day they wero to good'upon their lirst quest. Margaret had trembled for his safo ty. He could see so plainly that she loved him. and it was so pleasant to feel that somebody would watch, und wish, tltitl weep for him w hile he was in danger, that be did a cruel and cowardly thing?he put his arms around her, kept her close to his heartj and told her that be loved bor. And sho went back to bor room when ho had gono, fell upon her knees, and folt that God had been too good to her?she never had deserved lit! They came back after a few days, having seen nothing und done noth ing, though they had heard much. IVrhiips Cranbourne felt somo twinges of conscience, for he resolved not to go near Margaret after his ro liirii; yet. as chance would have it, she. was at Ma I tic's the very afternoon they rode in, and he walked home with her, and her eyes drew him to her, and his resolution was gone to the winds. Then the weeks sped by again, only to;j quickly. Margaret? bought of him, dreamed of him, lived her very life in his lifo, and felt that before she had existed, but now she lived indeed. He came otlen to the black cottage with its wreathing rosebush, and lingered long.within it;and the gossips of .Last Chance diggings laughed or sneered, as they were good or ill na tu red. ?s for Gomez, he smoked his cigar ci tes still where he cotild see into the kitchen, and looked upon Ralph Cran bourne with an iulc.nso hatred burning in b;s deep sct^cyes; hut Gomez kept his own conn-el and perhaps thought his time would como. Cra.ibourne lavished upon Mar garet all ttie loving epithets, all the winning, tender ways of which he was master; and she, who had lived all her bfe in country towns of which Last Chance diggings was a fail specimen, who bad seen honest miners by the hundred, and vulgar .refined men by the score, whose lovers had been too devoted and too familiar, was en thralled; she di I not think, or care to think, how mauy times the poor play bad been rehearsid before. She felt a vaguo wonder, someLimcs, when he Won hi speak of their marriage; ?bt she never disiiusc'd him, she was sure that it was all right; he knowbest; she would not even allow her heart to ask "why?" lint there cam2 a day ?it was bare ly three mouths since their firs>. meet ing? when Margaret's unquestioning I.nth was rudely broken, lie told her a p'iiful siorvj perhaps true, perhaps false, of a heartless wife to whom he was tied; he promised to claim her as soon as he should he free, und whisper ed : "i'iustine, my pearl. Can you not 1 rust me ?" Her love was so thoroughly trust ing, so generous ho self-forgetting, and?who shall say it was sho who fell ? Hut as weeks went by the bloom paled on her rounded cheeks, thceyc lUls were heavy and droop ing, the clear eyes dim with the shedd iiig jdf too many tears; the yosiips looked at her, and whispered that "Ma rgaret I/ily didn't seem to be so terrible happy with that air new lover of hern." To Margaret it seemed that she was living all hor yiars in tho hush before the storm. ' If bo had butgoue away ami leittnc with my dream." Again the vigilance committee gathered its forces,and again.Ralph Craribournh came to say "G ood-bye," the night befor they started . Rut Margaret was bitter? she who had never been biltorin her life?-and be said, as he held her limp hand in his at the gate; "Your would not care if you never saw saw me agaii^ would you, darling ?" "1 wish I never had seen you," she said, snatching her hand away, and covering her face. He caressed her, southed hor, calm ed away the present seuso of trouble; for she loved him, woman like, not less, but more for her sacrifice. A nd all the time a pair of deep-set, wicket looking eyes watched them through a paling in tho dil papidated fence. Once Cianbourne started, and fancied that ho heard a sound not made by the night wind, but he was not given to borrowing trouble, and cast the thought by. They were gono four days, and came back with three most vicious looking prisoners. "You kin bet your pilo we'll git the rest on 'cm next time," said MeKin uy. Ralph and another man had been wounded; indeed, tho cotnmittcemcn declared that had Cranbourno not been a stranger in those parts, they would have believed that one of fclio bandits?they were all masked?had a spite against him, lor he followed him up continually, even ufcrln bad been once wounded. Margaret's keart was full of tender ness when she went to him; all was forgotten save that hie, wis aufforliisr. rthritinue'd in our next."] ' "Pet" KTames in Public. Lord Dufferin, in nu address before the female normal school in Qjucbco the other day, said : I observe that it is an almost universal practice up on this continent, even on public occasions, in prize lists, roll-calls,and in tho intercourse of general society for young ladies to be alluded to by their casual acquaintances, uay oven in the newspapers, by what in the old country we would call their "pet" names?that is to say, those caressing, sollt appellations of endearment witU which their fathers and brothers, and those which arc nearest to them, strive to give expression to the yearn ing affection felt for them in the h.9tno circle. Now, it seems to me tobe a monstrous sacrilege, nud quite in compatible with the dignity and self respect due to the daughters of our land," and with the chivalrous rever ence with which they should be ap proached, even in thought, that tho tender, love invented nomenclature of the firesMe should be baudied about at random in the mouths of every empty headed Tom, Dick and Harry on the street whose idle tongue may choose to babble of them. For instance, in the United States, before her marriage, I observed that Miss Grant, the daughtervof the occupant of the most, august position in the world, was generally referred to in the newspapers as "Nellie," as though the paragraph ist who wrote the item "*1 had been her playfellow from infancy; and even Lady Dufferin, I, see, has become '?Kate" in tho elegant phrase ob gy of a United States magazine? though how Kate could have been elicited from her excellency's real Christian name I don't know. Of course, this is a small matter to which I have alluded, bul it is not without significance when regarded as a national characteristic -? 4w~^mmmwm-. A Remarkable Oat Story The following la told by the Mobci ly (Mo.) Enterprise-Monitor; One of tho strongest incidents that has ever fallen under our observation transpired at the Virgiuia Hotel in this city, Mr. French, a member of a dramatic troup playing an engage ment in this city, was the victim. He retired to rest at au early hour, aud soon fell into a deep slumbor. After the lapse of an hour or two he was aroused by a feeling of overpowering oppressiveness and suffocation, and was horrified to find that a huge cat was silling on his breast, and had its hoad inserted in his mouth sucking away his breath. He found himself in an almost exhausted condition, fo much so that he was unable to shake off the vampire fiend attacking him. Strugglo as ho would, tho cat only fastened its claws the deeper into his chest, and went on with its horriblo feast. His groans andorios of agony, however, fortunately brought some neighboring lodgors to his roliof, and ho was rescued from his frightful position. Even then thoy were com pelled to turn him out of bed and roll him over and over on tho floor before the cat could bo made to re. lease its hold and abandon its pur poso. Mr. Frenoh's face and chest tho next moining bero frightful evidences of bis terrific battle with tho monster, and he will probably horcaftor make special? inquiry at his hotels as to the character of tho cats belonging to tho i establishment. r.? ?? ? ? i? ? ..... ?.
