Stacy was one uf the fortunate few out of the unlucky many that enter a mining cocutry, and in a few years he was possessed of properties yichyng him an excellent income from tifteir hard, white quartz Ho regularly corresponded with his daughter, and kept her supplied with pocket-money far in excess of her needs or requirements, but he never wentbaek on a visit, and when that young lady was duly graduated with high honors she determine I to seek out her long absent paternal progeni tor. WUtFau Independence and cour age, the wonderment of the boys, she travelled across the plains, took pas sage on the stages and ilaaliy lode Into Mineral City on horseback, the first white woman In camp, and the object of the shy adoration of the men It was sums time before the boys could stand their ground and face Uer, Instead of scampering away at her approach, as had hitnerio been the cas •; but the Western miner is not long in getting accustomed to strange things, and it was not over ten days after her arrival that tbs Colonel Im molated himself on tue allec of his affections. E-mcouroged by his ex ample and uuteirlfied by bis uncere monious defeat, the boys one after another tried thicr luck, though, as I have before mentioned, with no better success. Stacy was a partner of mine in the Ajax mine, lu which there were three of us interested, and as we wore doing considerable development on the vein I was of necee ity’much in his com pany and consequently In that ot his daughter. She was a very pretty girl, with dainty, delicate ways better be fitting a house in Flf'h Avenue than a rough miuing camp; but she loved her father with an earnest, clinging affec tion that would not listen to her leav ing him, and so she continued to reign Qaeen over Mineral City all through the summer of 1876. I don’t know when it was that l was unduly attracted towards Nellie. I think it was when she asked me to call her thereafter by that name. She made the request so innocently, so sweetly, and so tenderly, alleging that as I was her father’s parther, a gentle man by birth and education, and stieb a kind friend to her, it would be ever so much nicei for me to say Nellie, instead of Miss Stacy, which sounded so formal, lhat I came very nearly adding other words to ihe name that our short acquaintance would not Justifly. After that I spent most of my evenings with Nellie, and some times ot an afternoon we took deli cious little rambles together, on the mountain sldqs and Into the heavy Umber lining the valley or canon of the Uncoiflpangre. One evening, aa we #ere returning home, we stopped to rest on the rock-crested summit of Mineral Point. A few hundred feet below us lay the little mining camp, its long cabins looking dubly picturesque la the gathering gloaming. Thi blue smoke Wits curling from A dozen ohlm- neys a* the tlieb prepared their even- 11 caught again the little white hand. She drew it from my grasp, and, with a saucy started Cown the trail and I hastened to follow. I : made several attempts to renew the , conversation on the way, but Nellie always turned it off from the subject nearest nty heart; and yet when I left bet at her father’s door she shyly ex tended her hanf’,- and I thought I de- tdcied a soft pfestiro as I took it in mine. A moment, and she had vanish ed, and I noticed a rosy flush on her pretty Pltenks and an- Unnsal light to her tender eyes. I Went back to my little cabin with B Strange admixture of certainty aud doubt iu my feelings, and a quickening Of tfly pulses that made me oblivious to my rough sur- roUndlagsi After supper I lit tiiy pipe «ttd eat upon my roughly-hewn doorsteps. The son had gone down, but yet there was light enough for me to see her cabin and notice her fatter standing in the doorway chatting with Mineral B >b, the best prospector In camp and The third owner with Stacy and my- ! self in the Ajax. I turned my head and saw the lights in the sha.'t-hmiSo J of the Big Giant mine on Red Mouu- 1 tain gleaming nwuy in the distance; I heard the clanging b ows of the j blacksmith at his forge as he sharpen- ' ed the tools for the morning’s work, and the deep boom of the blast in the 1 Little Emily mine camu fl >aiiug through the still night air. Then my eyes wandered Duck to the cabin which h'-i 1 Nt-ll]c.~ Bob was still there, fate ull figure and broad shoulders con trasting greatly with the little old man In the doorway. What was he doing there so long 1 thought, and I puffed my pipe viciously us I saw Nellie a moment later join the tao. The ufght settkd down, and the cabins faded from view, their presence only revealed by the lights shining through the little square windows or the sparks stream lug out of the stone aud mud chim neys. It was getting cool, too, and I km»cked the ashes out Of my pipe aud re-entered my little home aud stirred up the smoalderiug embers on the Dearth. An hour went by and the moon sent its bcems across my little table, with its tin plates and cups; acrosb my earthen and rocky door touching lightly my books on a shelf at the head of my bed and resting softly on the rolled-up coat that served mu for a pillow. I turned my stool and glanced at the window. The tops of the surrounding timber were silvered by the moonlight, aud the cabins stood out uguiuet the dark background of the tall spruce. The ! sound of singing came out from the. saloon and the wind sighed fitfully now and then. And so I fell into a sombre reverie, and Neliie w..s the centre so t said: “I t*dl you. Bob.t don’t know that i shall stay much 1 >nger myself. Per haps you would like to make rife an “castles In the air,” which fade before the honeymoon, ought to receive her respect and confidence, for these are grand foundations tobofld on. 5, I con tend that no hqpf'y tonditlon pf taaf- rled life can exist without them.

What a dellcloufl time I had of it, and how considerate Stfifcy and Bob were, They never Intruded their presence, butjet. me )mve Nellie to myself, as though they Had no wyhueqM 0 ^ what ever with us. I felt grateful to them, and meditated often what I could do to show my appreciation of tbefr thoughtfulness and good feeling. Neille was a little paradox, however— an enigma I couldn’t solve. J had proposed to her half a doifen times on our way East, but, though she plainly i showed that her heart was mine and permitted me to squeeze her band, whisper soft nothings and kiss her good-uight when she* retired, ©ha would give me no answer to my ptahd* inga, but kept me off with tMshnquetry if she *** liPeli mo^V attractive, Wtfu so tbp days spun arountl and I seemed tone no nearer than when we left tho old mining camp, acd I got irrltable and ont of sorts, and one day Nellie sug gested that I had better run on and »ee nty farPlly and get sweetened up a little, abd I savagely replied that I would, and I should not return uptil and “so handsome,” and wa that what they need is Dj)t ft “pretty boy with a daloty raofistacha,” but a maw—# §o3d err atlon of flesh ahd blood, with ag honest hear!, a clear head, and willing bands to labor for the one he loves. That ts my idea of a husband. Such a wilt never wilfully de ceive a woman, never be guilty of the meannesses that corrupt so many men’s nature*. It woi/M he parJtdlse to five with such a man onooe thousand dollars a year, to existing witji one On ten times that amount, (nils may fead like romance, but it Is stern re ality.

I’ll speak to him for you.* day.’* “He said the other day.” continued Bob, as though he were carefully Weighing the proposition, “that he’d Kell to me on time, if 1 could get a good man to go on my security.” “Would he take me,(Jo yon think?’’ “Take you? A great sight sooner than any other man in camp.” • “Well/ then, Bob, you give mo a mortgage on the ollue, and, If hie figures are not too high. 1*11 endorse your note aud turn yOuover my inter est beside. The mine Is solid yet, I guess, though I haven’t been tbR for a week.” “That's the g l’s fault,‘’grinned B>b; ‘ but, if she wasn’t good, I Wuuldu’t- want to buy. 1 belelve I’ll go down and sec tho old man-dt Won’t take long,” and Bob buttonned up his Coat aud started out.” Half an hour later Bob returned With the necessary papers by wbiCb Stacy conveyed his third interest in the Ajax mine to him for eight thousand dol lars, payable within thirty days. I endorsed Bob’s note for the amount, he assuring me that if the mine con tinued to pay, as it had in the past, be ! could easily take It up when due; be- j sides which, I reasoned to myself, ; that I would soon be Stacy’s son-in- law, and. In case of Bob’s failure to meet the note, the old man would not be bard on me, I also transfered my third Interest to Bob for a like amount, and secured myself for both sums by a mortgage on the property, and so I went to bed that night and dreamed of the little wife I soon expected to have. ’ v I saw Nellie the next day, and, though she sralied sweetly and blushed most prettily, I wasn’t satisfied, as, owing to her gettiug things in reedi n' sa for the trip next morning, there was no opportunity for a quiet little coovsrsaUoo. I told Stacy t was going ont, aud be laughed and said Neliie had spoken of It, and he “didn’t know but what It was a good scheme for his gal, ’cause It could hardly be expected that me and Bob would be good company;” and eo the matter pretty eyes, and I took the train tor Philadelphia ict tt terrible temper, find y**t feeling > Ore that I would be back again within forty-eight hours; and f was I asked the clerk ttf £ead up my card, and he said It would be useless, as the lady, with bar father and the other gentleman, had left the night before, for the South, hb thought.
