BLOTTED OUT § » — it By CAROL MURRAY ft Copyright. HRft. by H B. McClure ft They were a rough lot of men under the shadow of Diamond lilll— tnlnen., tennißters, proaiwvtora, traders and cattlemen—but when old John Dyer, one of the mine liosscs, brought his daughter Kate from clvllir..ttlon to live with liltn there and keep his humble cabin be hn l faith in that chivalry that has slwnys made the wi-stern man rvsjH-ct the Other sex. He knew that she would jure many admirers and that there would be quarrels on her account, but ae was a widower and she motherless, and he hoped he was doing what was seat. The cabin, like the rude and straggling village, was backed by the grim mountain, while nlang Its fr?nt as far es human eve could reach there gilt-teh-d the white sands of the Mojave desert. Here and there out on that dreary waste were patches of ugly cacti, and Intuition told the girl as her eyes searched the desert for the first time that out there under the biasing sun the rattlesnake basked and the Ilian! glided swiftly over the bones of men and animals. The desert was not always at peace, Its surface resembling a placid lake. Now and then a wind, born up in the gulches of the mountain, came down and went sweeping across the sands, and then the spectator saw grent clouds of dust as the flinty particles were caught up and driven here and there to cut and gash and wound whatever lived. The sands never swept in from the desert, but always were driven the other way. Had It not been so Diamond mine and the town around it could not have been. The coming of the girl among the thousand men wns an event. There were a few old women there—cooks and laundresses —but here was a girl, a handsome young girl. Her Influence was felt almost Immediately. The mine manager said that more soap, combo, handkerchiefs and looking glasses were called for from the company store tn a week than were bought during the preceding three months. At least 800 of the thousand men determined on an introduction at once, but when it came to the point, and even after three months bad pass*-.!, there were not a dozen callers at the cabin. A month or two later it was said that only two of the dozen stood a chance. By "chance" they meant marriage. It never occurred to any of them that a girl might have come among them without falling in love and marrying one of their number. It was strange that among Kate's earliest and most |>erslstent admirers was Pedro Diaz, a full blooded Mexican. He had charge of the company's transportation.and lie managed through the father to force an introduction. He was kindly received by the girl, but no more. He was tolerated by the fattier, but there was no welcome for him. Pedro was a swaggerer. He was an eg >tist. H<- thought be was In love, and once having made up his mind to

I this he was ready to maintain what j ho ctUcd bls right by fair means or J | foul. | The thousand men said that Pedro's rival wu» Tommy Britt, the keeper of I the company's store. He was an Amer- : lean, young, fair looking, and down on i the liooks to be promoted for hla eti- ■ I ergy. ambition and integrity. Perhaps I be admired, a* all others did, but he ' bad never asked himself If he was In love. He found both father and daugh I ter congenial company, and that would I have been hla excuse had any one | asked him why be paid two visits a ' week to the cabin. i There came a day when Pedro Diaz made up hl* mind to know hla fate., He chose an hour when he knew the | girl would be alone, and he dressed . in his best and knocked on the cabin ' door. He believed himself Irresist-' Ible. and he smiled and smirked and ' offered ills love. There was a moment. I of astonishment, and ho found himself rejected. The girl tempered her re- . fusnl as much aa possible. It was her: first offer, but womanly Instinct told ; her to soften the blow even though the : man was obnoxious to her. 1 “What! You refuse Pedro Diaz!" ex-1 l claimed the man In reply. "You re-1 fuse me—me, am woQfa p,roo and could marry any senorita In my 1 own country! Do you quite understand ’ me?" “1 have no love for you." replied the girl"But that makes no difference. You i shall love me later on. I am Pedro Dial, it Is the first time I ever did a woman the honor of asking her to 'marry me." The girl's reply was a firm one, anil Pedro flung himself out of the cal In I with anger raging In hl* heart. He bad been snubbed, humiliated, made a I fool of. There was a man In the case, of course, and It could be none other I than the storekeeper. Whoever opj>oe ed Pedro Dial in any of his cherish*! ' schemes must die. He was not flve I minutes deciding on the death of Britt. ■ That morning the young man had ridden away across the desert, a stretch ■ | of twenty long, hot miles, to strike the | railroad on the other side and order | i further supplies by telegraph. The ride j ■ was twenty miles over and twenty I mile* back. He would cover the dis-■ i tance In a day, hut It would lie late In - the evening when lie returned. •'I will meet and kill him a* b’’ re- . turn*." decided Pedro, and when darkI ness fell he eluded observation a* much | as pos«ible ami rode out on th ' desert. There was no trail across the sands He who would hold a straight course j oust depend uj>on the compass, and be must consult it often. There was fair I i starlight—light enough to see his rival I many rods away. The sky was clear I of those scudding clouds which might I lie taken as warnings that the wbirii.'luda were being born lu the cold ait of the gulches, and no noise came from < i the mountain except the whispers of the pines to the cedars. When I'edro had made five miles straight out from the base he pulled ' in bis horse and sat and waited, his face to the west and his ears alert for ' the slightest sound. For an hour he waited, nnd then of a sudden a cold i chill struck the back of bis ueck. He • whirled his horse übjut with an oath , on bis lips. "It is the sand storm!" he muttered as lie Jumjied to the ground.

He bad a blanket for blni»elf and one for hla horse. The animal lay down at I the word and eufftWil bls head to be wrapped, at.d Just as th** tir*t »luup grains begnu to fly tin* man snuggled down Iwsidv the uiilmal and tutUUod hla bead and swore. I He bad seen a hundred Band st >riii* on that deeert. They came with a j-aiT aud went the same way. In five mln , utes he would be up iin.l watching again, but when five minutes bad panm-d the gu-is were stronger At th*- end of t< ti they ls*gan elrvllt.r ntid running across the sands like wraiths. They also dug deep luto the acuida. mid when they met with an ob«frue- * tlon U»ey covered it tn. Man am! htrae were s»s>n In danger of suflfocatiou and bad to struggle up to throw oil the weight. They were Just in time to lie J caught by a circling breette and spuu around as If they were straw*, and | when the man was flung on his face at last and covered a foot d***.p lu un Instant the horse uttered a neigh of terror . nd gull |s*l heavily away. “It will puss. It will pass, and I will have my revenge!" muttered I’edro as | be stood up with hl* back to the blast but it did nut pass. . b •- He was dung this way and that, carried along or left half senseless on the 1 sands, ntm not for a full hour did the I wind scream out Its goudby to the I desert and return to its sleep. Then the surface of the desert was smooth again, and the man who came ridlug from the wwt could not tell that under hl« horse's f«-et lay a human body burled two feet deep. There had !>een a Pedro Dias. The sands of the Mojave had blotted him out. The High! Bower. Before Millard Fillmore was elected to the vice presidency of the United States he was head of the law Ann of Fillmore. Hal) A: Havens of Buffalo. ■ It was one of the leading law firms of i the state. He was the defendant's attorney lu a certain action in Buffalo. ! At the opening of the trial of the case ! the plaintiff's attorney stat**d to the 1 jury *bat he would have to de;>end en- ‘ tirely upon the Justice of bls client s case, as the defendant had sought ami 1 obtained the aid and counsel of one of , the ablest firms of lawyers in western New York, and he laight say be bad apposed to him the right bower of the ' leg il profession. "Wa it does he mean by that?" said Mr. Flllui »re. Mr. Haj vens replied. "He means yon." “Yes. I know," replied Mr F.llmore. "but ' what docs !.e mean ty that particular I espreision?" "Did you never play eu- : ebre?" said Havens. •'No." said Mr. Fillmore. “Well," said Havens, "in i the game of euchre the right bower is the bigg'-st knave in the pack." Table Hasners of Ye Olden Ileys. Can any one still prate of the good old times after reading the following extract from a sixteenth century b<ook entitled "The Accomplished I-ady's Rich doaet; or, Ingenious Gentleman's Delightful Companion?” "A gentlewoman, being at table, must observe to keep her body straight am! not h-an by any means with her elbows, nor by ravenous gesture discover a voracious appetite. Talk not when you have meat lu your mouth, aud do not smack like a pig nor venture to eat spoon meat so hot that the tears stand in your eyes, which is as unseemly as the gentlewoman who pretended to have as little a stomach as she bad a mouth, and therefore would not swallow her peas by sj>oonful. but took them one by one and cut them In two before she would eat them. It is very unseemly to drink so large a draft that your breath is almost gone and you are forced to blow strongly to recover yourself." Antiquity «»f Wire. The manufacture of wire Is of very ancient origin. It has been traced back to the earliest Egyptian history’. Specimens are in existence which can be proved to date to 1700 B. C. The Ken siugton museum has a specimen which was made In Minera SoO years B. C. Ancient literature contains many refer euces to wire. From the ruins of Herculaneum metal heads have been ex burned on which the hair is represented by wire. There is no .|uestion that this ancient wire was made by hammering put the metal, which was always bronz? or of the precious group. This held true of all made previous to the fourteenth century, during which the process of forming wire by drawing or elongating the metal by forcing it through a conical orifice, made in some subotance Larder than the metal treated. was invented.—Cassler's Magazine.
