wine or beer, and overcomes tnat unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. Tne mild ?nd the extra

HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON
A TALE OF THE TORY ASCENDENCY
BY
JOHN P. KENNEDY
CHAPTER.
Tyrrel Retreats.
The next morning Tyrrel rose with
the sun. He had passed a re-tless
right, and now sought refreshment In
the early freeze. With this purpose
be descended to the river, and stray
ed along th * dewy pathywav which
crept through the shrubbery on the
right bank in the direction of the
Fawn’s Tower. He had not wandered
far before he ' ''eeived a horseman
moving along the road upon the op
^site side.
"Helloo, James Curry!—which way?
—What news have you?”
“I seek you. sir, I was on m” way to
the Dove Cote,” rep ied the horseman,
who at the same time turned his
horse’s head to the river, and. spur
ring the animal forward, plunge ’ into
th« stream which was h^re still and
deep enough to reach above his sad
dle daps. After some floundering, the
horse and rid°r '"'•ined the margin,
where Tyrrel awaited them! The
vigor of the animal, as wel' as the
practised hand that held the rein,
was shown in the boldness of the at
tempt to climb the st^ep bank and
break through the briers and bushes
that here guared it. As soon as Cur
ry reached the level ground, he dis
mounted.
"In God’s name, man, what is the
matter with your face ” asked Tyrrel.
"It’s of that, amongst other things,
that I came to sD°al> to you,” was the
replv; "I have news for you.”
■'Speak, without prelude. Tell me.”
"Major Rutter slept last night at
Mrs Di mock’s."
‘ And is there still ”
"No, sir He started at early dawn
this morning.”
“To join Gates?”
"I think not. He talked of going
to Ninety-Six—perhaps to Georgia.”
"So. ho! The bawq hovers over
that field' Does he trav‘1 a’one?”
“He has a giant in bis company, a
vreif ploughman bv the name of
Horse Shoe Robinson. A nuarvel
sotpf* rascal: bo would ue ds nick a

family had made their appearance in
th? breakfast room.
Whilst Tyrrel meditated writing a
lire to explain to Lindsay his present
sudden movement, and had drawn
near a table for that purpose, he was
saint d by the voice of Henrv who
had entered the apartment, and stolen
unobserved a most immediately be
bind bis chair.
“Boot<><] and spurred. Mr. Tyrrel!”
said H pry. “You are for a ride. Will
you take a fowling-piece? ’“here are
pheasants over upon the hills.”
“Oh. ho! Master Henry, you are up!
I am glad of it. I was just writing a
word to sav that business cal s me
awav this morning. Is your father
vet abed ”
“He is sound asleep,” said Henry;
“I will wake him.'’
“No. my lad. You must not do that.
Say I have received news this morn
ing that has ca led tne suddenly to
my friends. I tuII return before long.
! Is your sister sTirring?"
“She was in the garden but a mo
ment sine replied Henry; and the
voting man left the room, to which
be returned after a short space. “Sis
ter Mildred is engaged in her chamb
er, and begs you will excuse her,”
said he, as he again entered the door.
“Tush, Henry, I didn’t tell you to
! interrupt your sister. Make her my
| most respectful adieu. Don’t forget
it. i have all my way to win,” he said
to himself, “and a rough road to
| travel. I fear.”
Tyrrel now' left the house and do
| scended to Hie river, accompanied by
j Henry, who sought in vain tl> know
why he departed in such haste as not
to stay for breakfast. James Curry
■ waited below; and. when Henry saw
his fath< r’s guest mount in his sad
I d V* and cross the ford attended by
bis tw'o servants, he turned about and
| clambered in the hill again, balf sing-
i lug and half saying to himself,—“I'm
1 glad lie's gone, I’m glad he’s gone,”

w’hisper that to sister Mildred? She
would lie glad,' for one. I’ll lie bound!
May be. they might have a fight.
And if they do. et Mr. Tyrrel look
out! He never had his bread so but
tered in ids life as it would lie then ”
In such a strain of cogitation and
conjecture, Henrv reached the parlor,
where he found Mildred. Th melan
choly that hung upon her spirits, the
evening before, seemed to hav * ln-on
dispelled by the repose of the night,
and was doubtless re lewd, in part,
by the intelligence that Tyrrel had
quitted the Dove Cote.
“Come, sister," said Henry, throw
ing his arms round her waist, and ai
most dancing, as he forced her
through the open window, “come, it
will be a gixid w lii e before father is
ready for the breakfast. Let us look
at your ilowers; I have something to
tell you.”
"You are quite an important per-
I sonage this morning.’' replied Mild
| red. moving off towards the lawn with
her brother. “Your face looks as
a book of proverbs.”
It wms some time before the brother
^ and sister returned to the parlor, and
^ wh n they did so. their father had not
vet appeared. The delay was unusu
al; for Lidsay generally rose at an
| early hour, and frequent y walked
abroad before his morning meal.
When he at last entered the room,
there was an expression of care and
thought upon his brow that made him
haggard. Mildred, as was her custom,
approached him with a kiss, and, tak
ing both of his hands, as she looked
up in his face, she said, with some
earnestness:
“You are not well, my dear father.'’
Lindsay paused a moment, while he
gazed affectionately upon her. and
the pressing her to his bosom, uttered
in a low voice, with a smile,—
“God bless my dear c.iild! How
carefully does she read my looks!
Come hither, Henry,” he continued, as
lie gave his son one hand, still held
Mildred with the other, an 1 then turn
ed his eyes alternately upon each.
“Now tell me, which of you love
me best? Who has wait'd most pa-
tiently for me tills morning? I sec by
that glance of your blue ye master
Henrv that you have been chiding
your lazy father for lying so long
abed. Now. I dare say. if the truth
were known, you have hi d your ii!!c
ready to go out and snoot squirr N in

•’LUCKY" BALDWIN.
Hi* Whirlwind of Speculation In the
Mining Regions.
(Ralph D. I’alne in Outing Magazine.)
In 18.V5 a little party of gold seek
ers with a meagre outfit of horses
and wagons started for Ca ifomia |
from the village of Racine, Wis. In j
command of this adventurous expe
dition was a young man who took
with him his wife and infant daugbt
er His name was E. J. Baldwin and
he made a wise choice in shaking j
from his restless feet the dust of a
tamer civilization. He needed a larg J
er theatre of action for his pent up |
surging activities. Whi e trailing |
through the mountains of Utah the
pioneers were attacked by Indians.!
who were beaten off during a six j
hour fight in which young Baldwin !
kil ed their chief. After six mouths i
of hardship the party r ached Hang j
town (later called Placerville), in
California.
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining. He appears to have j
been no more than an ordinary red
skirted argonaut, meeting the ups
land downs of mining luck until the
> discover/ of file Comstock lode at
Virginia City. Thither he drifted and
j discovered that ills natural bent was
ganabling with the mines that other
j men had opened. Amid a whirlwind
; of speculation he fought his w ay with
such success that he loomed from
the smoke in a few months as
“Lucky” Baldwin, the man who had
cl* aned up $7,500,000 in the gigantic
deals in the stock of the Ophir urines.
San Francisco was the Mecca >f
those lucky sons of fortune who were
rearing a gnat city by the Golden
Gate. As a stock and mining specu-
j lator “Lucky” Baldwin shone resplen
dent, hut he was also a loyal son of
' San Francisco. He built hotels and
. theatres and business blocks even
I while he was amazing that far from

! freakish * xtravaganoes.
