But, like every other evil, it was not an unmixed one, and was not "pulled" invariably with bloodletting inteut. A six-shooter figured prominently in one of the prettiest V . * little romances I ever knew of, and no blood was spilled, either. But the hand of time has to a great extent drawn the veil over those days, and they linger only in the memories of the old-timers who are left and who?" "Here, man, don't excite our curi' osity in that way, by suggesting an interesting story, and then quietly proceed and leave it untold," said one of the listeners. "That's what I say," "Certainly," ; "Of course," "By all means," came in chorus. "Let us have the episode in which the deadly revolving machine figured." A group of men, several "forty. ' Diners" among them, were gathered in one corner of a Los Angeles hotel ro jqjtaa, taiKing or meir -ormer excellences in the gold fields, and comparing the men and the methods of that lurid " period?the days of the pick, shovel, ^ iwashing-pan and revolver?with presenit-day mining methods, machinery 'and men. "It was more than an ep sode, gen^ tlemen; it was an event, in the lives of two of those concerned," said the f first speaker. "For Steve Daniels, knight of the six-shooter, it was per?7^ haps only an episode. Later, he?but that's another story. "In 1S60 i was working a claim at V. Monito, in Nevada County, and doiug fairly well. More than a year had d* passed since pay-dirt was struck, and there were some 800 or 1000 people in the camp, and saloons, of course, in proportion. The 'Golden Eagle' was one of the most popular of these, and Steve Daniels was the bright particular star among its frequenters. It was reported that he had formerly been a i&lf' cowboy, and an unusually quiet, p. peaceable member of ' the unquiet calling, until after the death of his ,wife. He soon after came to the diggings, bringing with him his little boy, ^ > about three years old, and Manuel, a Mexican, whose special business it was v. v to look after the child, though he incidentally acted as cook also. ""Daniels, who was one 01 me eari.v arrivals at Monito, staked a claim and stuck closely to business for some time; that is, until his first gun-play. Us.When sober he was an easy-going, lowspoken fellow, just the kind a bully .would select to impose on, and this k/ one of that class was deceived into v doing not long after the rush to Monito. He was buried next day, and Daniels' reputation as a remarkably quick and accurate shot was duly est tablished. He fired three times and yet we could find but one hole through the man's body, and that not much larger than the opening usually made by one ball from a regulation sixshooter, the bullets having scarcely yaried a line. "After that Daniels got on spree.^ . periodically, and while they lasted he let himself loose for the fun there was in it. He did net fear God nor regard man when drinking, but druuk or sober " . he loved his child with every throb of his hea.-t. And 'Nugeto,' for that was the name given him oy Manuel, because of his golden curls, was as u sturdy, handsome and cute a little fellow as one would wish to see. As ?> an off-band swearer he wan about the easiest and most accomplished?within the limits of his vocabulary?that .1 ever heard. He was criven mauv a pincli of gold-dust by those reckless miners in exchange for 'cuss words,' and as his list lengthened his pile increased. "Manuel seemed really fond of the boy, and no one could have taken better care of him; that is, while he was on duty. But the Mexican was like his employer in one respect, he would go on jamborees. On these occasions he always disappeared, however, and was usually gone several weeks. Daniels accepted these little defections as a matter of course, never touched a drop while Manuel was absent, but attended strictly to the boy and the claim. By the time the Mexi\ can returned Daniels had dust enough on hand to enable him to act the part of master of ceremonies at the Golden Eagle with satisfaction to himself and hi.'} friends. He was having his fling one night, soon after Manuel's return, v ,when some one remarked that a tenderfoot had come in on the afternoon 6tage. " 'Trot him out, then,' ordered Steve.

" 'There's the man that wanted to see you.' one of them said, pointing to Dauieis. "'What can I do for you?' asked the stranger, pleasantly. " We're feelin' sorter cull an' want you to entertain us some,' drawled Daniel". 'Our entertainments gen'rally begin by settin' them up to the crowd. Cot no conscientious scruples, have you?' winking at the others. 'Never promised our mother en ner cyin' bed that you'd die before you took a drink, or anything of that sort, did you?' "'Never,' answered the tenderfoot, 'and as I came here expecting to locate, and wish to ge* acquainted, I know of no quicker way. Barkeeper, drinks for the crowd, please.' "So frank and pleasant was he in woras ana manner tnat Daniels was slightly taken aback for the moment; but the drinks were swallowed with a will. " 'The *>ext thing on the programme,' said Daniels as the last glass was returned to the bar, 'is the light fantastic. Not a member of the church, are you?' with another wink. " 'I am,' he replied; 'but my church, is not one of those that prohibits dancing occasionally. The Scriptures tell us there is a time for all things, and I suppose this is my t'me to dance. I am a v>ry ordinary performer, but will do what I can.' 'Throwing off his hat and coat he began a light, graceful heel-and-toe dance. This he kept up for several minutes and then stopped. " 'Here, what do you mean by quittin' so soon?' growled Daniels. 4I didn't give you the vord to stop!' " 'Why, I'm tired,' was the answer. " 'Tired!' roared Daniels, whipping out his gun. 'There's no such word as tired in our dictionary; leastways, for you! Winn we're tired we'll say so. Till then, you move them tender feet of yours, and move 'em lively! Look out, now!' "He fired as he spoke, and the bullet cut half its thickness through the edge of his victim's shoe-sole. "For a moment an expression of startled surprise flashed into the young man's eyes. " 'If I must, I must,' he then said quietly, and began to dance again. " 'Faster! Faster!' ordered Daniels, emphasizing his commands with shots irom 111s gun, ana 11 seemea miraculous that he could shoot so close to those moving feet and not hit them. "He had fired the last shot in one revolver and -was drawing the other, when a small golden-haired figure, dressed in miniature miner's costumered flannel shirt, rough trousers, stuck in boots and held up by suspendersstood in the doorway, looked about the room, and seeing Daniels ran up to him, clasped his legs, and cried: "'Take me, daddy! Me so hot an' tired an' sleepy! So vehy sleepy, daddy!' "Catching Nugeto to his breast Daniels asked: 'How did you get here? Where's Manuel?' " 'He's gone! Me cumtned all the way by myself. Me not 'fraid!' " 'Well, I'll be ' Daniels paused suddenly, and, searching the boy's face with anxious solicitude, asked: 'What ails you, anyhow? Your face is all breakin' out!' " 'I will tell you what ails him,' said the stranger, after looking closely at the child; 'he h.'xj smallpox.' "'Smallpox!' reared the crowd as one man, and they fell over each other getting out. " 'How do you know he's got it? Who're you, anyhow?' demanded Daniels, threaieningly. " 'I'm a physician, come here to practice my profession, and I tell you positively the child has smallpox. Are there any cases in the camp?' " 'Haven't heard of one.' " 4T lioovil cnmp nimnr of fhp disPflSP as I came up from 'Frisco. Has no one in camp been down that way recently, and returned?' " 4My Mexican cook has just ' Daniels paused suddenly and relieved himself of a good long paragraph of oaths. 'That's it,' he said, with conviction; 'that greaser ctuglit it somewhere and brought it back with 'im. I noticed his face was mighty red the day after he got back, but thought it was the drink. So he's give you the smallpox, my Xugeto, an' then run away to keep me from borin' his yeller carcass full o' holes! But I'll find 'im an' kill 'im 'fore the smallpox has a chance to?whether you live?or?die. But, doctor,' his voice breaking, 'you can save him, can't you? You won't let him die?" " 'I will certainly do my best; and, with your help, I hope the chances are good to pull him through.' "And they pulled him through, but it was a very close call. The doctor took his patient to a vacant shack about a mile from camp, and there he and Steve nursed him day and night till he was well. The doctor?Collet was his name, he said?took such good precautions that the disease didn't spread, and he and Daniels both escaped it. "When Xugeto was back in camp again nothing was too good for him or the doctor. What with gunshot wounds, cuts and bruises and ordinary sickness, Collet was kept pretty busy. He was always pleasant, but very quiet; so much so that I told the boys I believed he was troubled in his heart about something. And so it turned out. "Nearly a year after Collet's introduction that night to the hangers-on in the Golden Eagle. Daniels was initiating another tenderfoot. This one was r'rtll/N+t f rv? nil en/1 MllrtUCI. CtCll I lid It \_U1HTL, 5V 01i_ia.il auu delicate looking, iD fact, that the little1 black mustache he wore seemed out of place. He was plainly in a fearful funk, so scared he couldn't talk, and didn't know how to order drinks. He only pretended to drink himself, and sat his glass down full. When Daniels brought his fist down on the bar and roared, 'Drink every drop of it and be quick about it!' he made a desperate effort, but came near strangling, and the glass fell and broke. His knees were visibly shaking when the order i came to dance, and when Steve fo!- i lowed his command with a shot close ; to the visitor's feet, there was a scream?a woman's piercing, terrified ! scream?and she fell back in a dead j faint, the false mustache breaking j loose as she struck the floor. "Amnn? thnse who mshed in at the ! sound was Dr. Collet. As lie bent over ; the small, white-faced figure he uttered ! an exclamation, and apparently forget- i ting there was anybody else in the room, began pleading with her. " 'Edith, darling, look at me! Speak to me!' he said. " 'Boys, I think we've got business on the outside just at this stage of the game,' said Daniels, and we all went out. "Mike Brannon, the barkeeper, told me afterward that she was not long in coming to, and that then two soft, white arms went round Collet's neck and a mighty sweet voice said: 'Oh! 1 Arthur, how could you, why did you go off in that awful way, trying to make us all believe you were drowned? I didn't know what to think. Why did you, Arthur?' " 'Because,' he replied, 'I thought you had fallen in love with Leonard Wells. He was just the kind of man (except his poverty) that most women fancyhandsome, brilliant, full of audacity and of manly proportions?everything, in fact, that I was not. I overheard him say you had given him good reason to believe you were in love with him, and that he would marry you if I was out of the way, and you had the entire fortune.. From what I had seen of your manner toward him on more than one occasion I believed he spoke the truth, and, as I wished yc** > v ? happy I made away with myseir, or tried to leave that impression. Then I came to this out-of-the-way corner of the world, changed my name and have been prac ticing my profession. I thought i was as good as buried alive. How did you find me?" " 'I did not. but detectives found you for me. But I had told you I loved you. Why could you not believe me?' " 'You had not met Wells then. Did i you marry him after you thought I was drowned?'" 'I did not think you were drowned. My heart told me you were not But I would not have married Mr. Wells if you had been, not if he had been the last man on earth! I have loved you from the first, as I told you. Do you believe it now, or must I go back without you?' "'Yes, sweetheart,' he said. 'I do believe it. and I hope you will forgive me for doubting you. But tell me how?' " 'Not in this horrible place, Arthur. Take me away, quick, and I will tell you all about it when I take off this coat and?these other things.' "Mike told me he cleared his throat several times to let them know he was there, but he might as well have beeu back in Ireland for all the attention they paid him. "We heard afterwards that not a great while before Kendrick (for that proved to be the doctor's real name) i came to Monito. a wealthy uncle in j San Francisco died, leaving a fortune to him and the daughter of an old friend, jointly, on condition that they married. If either should fail to carry out his wishes he or she was to be cut off without even the proverbial shilling and the entire estate was to go to the other. The rest you have heard." "I suppose everything came out all right?" ventured a listener. "Of course.' They are still living, and have one of the handsomest homes in 'Frisco. And they did a good part by Nugeto, too. When Steve Daniels finally struck the wrong tenderfoot and was killed, Kendrick and his wife took the boy, brought him up, and he is now I a prominent business man of 'Frisco.'1 J ?Good Literature.

In Jerusalem he met "a worthy man who denounced me for being unable to converse with him in Yiddish. 'You are no Jew.' he protested, 'for you do not know the Jewish language.' I au- I swered that Hebrew was the Jewish I language and that I was quite willing to speak to him in it.

A man who has never been praised by the capitalist press 1 as 'the greatest labor leader' in the 1 world, but who, as a labor leader, i has never betrayed his trust nor sold ' ' out a strike. A man who, because of 1 his loyalty to the working class, has been struck down by. brutal soldiery on the streets of our city. "A man who for that same loyalty | was kidnapped by the command of the powers of capitalism and contrary to all legal forms and observances was carried to a distant state and thrown ; into a felon's cell, where for months j L he and his faithful comrades have ' waited, demanding in vain the speedy trial guaranteed to every citizen by 1 our constitution and laws, William D.

Secretary Shaw Appeals to NationalInstitutions to Aid Government in Supplying Small Notes. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has issued an appeal to the national banks to assist the government insupplying a pressing demand for notesof small denomination. 'He has sent to all national banks a letter requesting them to issue as much of the aggregate of their circulating notes in five dollar bills as possible, indicating that there is more profit in theissuance of such notes than in putting out notes of a larger, denomination. In the course of his letter, Secretary Shaw says: ' "The treasurer of the United Statesis unable to meet even at this season of the year the pressing demand i . ... . .. . for notes of small denominations, mecoming autumn will greatly increase this demand. In the absence of legislation, I am forced to appeal to the- < national banks to use every reasonable effort to relieve the situation. "If each bank will do its share,, there will be no difficulty. Falling in this, there will be slight reason tocomplain of the inevitable shortage in small bills. "The law permits national banks toissue one-third of their circulating notes in denominations of five dollars. The aggregating outstanding national bank circulation is a little over $500,000,000, one-third of which, or $166,000,000, might be in five-dollar notes. Instead of this maximum, there is approximately but $7-6,000,000 in. 0 ^ fives. The additional $90,000,000 in five-dollar bills now available would greatly relieve the situation. "It must be apparent that there is mora nrofit in maintaining circulation in small bills than in large. Largebills are almost immediately presented for redempton. Small bills find' their way to the pockets of the people and remain in circulation much longer, and only in proportion as they stay in use is their maintenance prof itable. Issuing notes one day to have them redeemed the next is unprofitable to the banks and of no benefit to commerce. ' ^J|| "I wish to call your attention to one other consideration. If the banks generally will exercise a little care and pay over their counters only national bank notes, they will greatly . assist in times of monetary stringency. National bank notes are .intended for use, not holding. They are not available for reserve, and are || valuable only when in actual use. M Please use them and do not seiid them in for redemption until unfit for use. They are just as secure, just as safe, just as convenient and just as acceptable to the people, and their use leaves other forms of money , *;y|gg available for reserve." .?"8 AFTER THE GUANO MAKERS.
