A Wonderful Story of an Old Lady.

ST. JOSEPH, MICH., May 9,1894.

Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Jnd.: I wish to congratulate you in being in possession of such a grand medicine as LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I WPR in very poor health for along time, could eat no solid food, and scarcely anything else had 110 appetite, but a continued distress in my stomach, and was very poor in flesh. Your remedy being recommended by one who had tried them, I got a box of same, and can cheerfully and gladly say, after using them, the distress in my stomach entirely ceased, my appetite increased wonderfully, and I gained in flesh very perceptibly. I am a lady seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS have given me anew lease on life. I feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice.

Gratefully yours, MRS. CYNTHIA RANSOM.

HALLOCK FOOTEL [Copyright, 1895, by Mary Hallock Foote.] Hilgard had had four years' practical experience in mines, but this was his first essay in management. He was well aware that he was making: it under great disadvantages, tie could not put ore into a ban-en vein, and a prolonged period of unproducti ve expenditure in prospecting for ore would, in the event of not finding any, count heavily against him in his opening career. It was inevitable that the manager of a mine should be considered successful according to his fulfillment of the hopes of the owners, especially when the owners were half the width of the continent away and generally ignorant of the conditions which affect success in the management of mines.

The Shoshone had been in barren rock for many months. It had small capital and less credit, when, a short time after Hilgard's management began, a sudden change took place in the aspect of its af!airs. At the change of shifts a daily increasing number of men were seen around its shai'thouses new ore sheds were put up its long unused wagon roads became deeply rutted by the. heavy ore teams going and returning from, the smelter: and a rumor pervaded the camp that the lucky Shoshones had "struck it away up in the hundreds," and were shipping ore at the rate of 50 tons a day.

Soon after the Shoshone's prosperity became evident, West, the mining captain of the Led Horse, communicated to his chief his suspicion that the Shoshone strike had been made on Led Horse ground. From the lower drifts the sounds which came through the intervening rock from the new Shoshone workings indicated to an experienced ear that they had crossed the boundary line between the claims.

Hilgard had proposed to Conrath, the superintendent of the •Shoshone, that a survey should be made through the Shoshone drifts, but at the expense of the Led Horse, to prove that the boundary line was intact. Ho put the whole matter lightly, as a possible mistake which either party might have made. Conrath took it by no means lightly. He even appeared to seizo upon it as ail occasion for giving expression to a latent feeling of antagonism toward Hilgard, which the latter had not been entirely unconscious of. Conrath refused to admit the possibility of his having crossed the line, or to permit any one to explore the Shoshone workings for any purpose whatever. This unexpected irritability on the subject could but increase Hilgard's suspicions. The sounds through the rock which had been at first very faint, having become, day by day, more distinct, Hilgard had started his defensive drift in the direction of these sounds.

The Led Horse had not as yet achieved its independence of eastern capital. The few thousands which had been subscribed at the beginning of Hilgard's management had been spent in "prospecting," with no result as yet, except a little low grade ore and "favorable indications." The small working force of the mine had been concentrated upon the defensive drift, which was in barren rock.

At this juncture, while the mine was dependent on its monthly drafts from the east, the last of these drafts came back dishonored.

It was a time of bitter excitement to Hilgard. Already the unfortunate Led Horse, with its hopes and its reverses, had become to him almost like some living thing in his care. It was more than a feeling of pride in his work—it was a passionate personification of it— more especially since he had been beset by treachery without as well as by poverty within. Hilgard was experiencing the well known effect of isolation and responsibility upon a concentrated nature cut off from those varied outlets for its energy which the life of cities and large communities affords. He wrote long, passionate letters on the situation to the home office, where they

awoke trouble and perplexity in the mind of the anxious president, but failed materially to alter the situation.

It was during the sultry weather of early September when these vehement appeals from tho desperate executive in the west poured in on the worried administration in the east.

The Led Horse proudly boasted in its prospectuses that its stock was "nonassessable. The men who held it were engaged in larger schemes, which made the fate of the Led Horse of comparatively little consequence. They were scattered far and wide, on board yachts, at remote fishing and hunting grounds, at watering places at home and abroad. To hold a timely meeting of stockholders under these circumstances would have puzzled the most active administration.

It was undeniable that, beyond the office which bore its name, the crisis in the affairs of the Led Horse made not even a ripple on the "street." "A draft for $2,000 promptly will save us!" Hilgard wrote. "Another week will drive the drift through to the Shoshone workings. Then we can put up a barricade, shut down and go into court with a clear case."

The president trusted, in his reply, that the "barricade" would be unnecessary. He deprecated any manifestation in the direction of expected or intended violence. The law alone could decide these points, and with this ultimate decision in view he advised that on injunction be got out against the suspected parties and evidence collected to support it, while he in the east would do his bestto provide money for oonduct-

ills own resources or eise snut, aown. The president concluded by adjuring him to satisfy himself that his suspicion was correct before taking any steps in :regard to an injunction.

Hilgard leaned back in his chair. He was mentally replying to the letter he held in his hand. "The 'resources' I am 'to depend on' are in the hands of the Shoshvres—tho proof of my 'suspicion' is there, the evidence for the injunction is there, the question is how am I to get here!" He pushed his chair back impatiently.

Can't they understand that it's impossible to shut down with a gang of men unpaid!"

It had taken a wpp.k for his first nrotest against the order to reacli fcliu oilice, two weeks for repeated letters to make, so it seemed, any impression on that far off east to which he looked for succor After three weeks of waiting the reply had come, and it had brought him only into closer contact with a growing dread, a dread of the fiual re.-JOto to those wild counsels of primitive justice from which he felt the strong recoil which marks the passage from irresponsible boyhood to manhood.

The first overt act was before him which would bring him into sharp personal contact with Conrath. The act was now become inevitable, and whether the iruth of his suspicion were proved by it jr not the hostility on Conrath's part .vould follow with certainty.

He went out into the cool starlight and walked about on the bare space of trodden earth outside his office door.

At sunset the restless winds, whirling occasions in a dervishlike dance along the highways of the camp, scattering straws and chips and scraps of paper and sinking as suddenly as they rose in abject heaps of dust by the roadside, had fainted and died away, as if their souls had departed in the soft breeze that wandered soughing up the gulch.

Sounds of music floated up from the camp, where it sparkled like a restless reflection of the night sky in the dark valley below. Tho lights in the two shafthouses burned warily, eye to eye, across the gulch. "Oh, lassie ayont the hill!4'—the words which had fitfully recurred in his mind tlirough its late preoccupations— came back now with a wistful note. The sweet lassie had kept on her own side of the hill, and he had never gone over to find her. He had lfever seen her since she had vanished below the sun illumined hilltop.

Where was she tonight? Dancing at the ball of the "Younger Sons" perhaps, to that music which came faintly to his ear, or alone in the hostile Shoshone camp? Conrath had gone over the range

Both men glowered at the fire in silence. two days ago. He liked better to think of her alone, though it could be no part of his to comfort her. Somehow he did not find the dramatic nature of the situation as exhilarating at it had seemed on the day of her innocent invasion.

He went down the hill to a little cabin built against its steepest side, where West sat by his fire moodily smoking and communing with himself, after the manner of lonely men.

He was a slenderly built, wiry man, of abouc 30, with a nervous mouth and a quiet blue eye, which could kindle quickly, as it did now at the sound of Hilgard's step and his bright, authoritative voice. He got up and gave his only chair to his young chief, drawing forward an empty powder keg and seating himself on its inverted bottom. 'Hilgard lit a cigarette and sat down astride of the chair with his arms across the back. Both men glowered at the fire in silence. "A letter came from the old man today," Hilgard presently said. "It's no use, West. The thing is narrowing down to just this—we've got to get into the Shoshone workings."

West looked up quickly. "If Conrath won't go over the ground with us, we must go over it alone and take the risk of his catching us in there.''

West smoked hard for a minute. "I could have got in there long ago, sir, if you'd said the word." "I didn't want to say the word! It's an ugly thing to do, creeping about another man's mine to find out if he's a thief and a liar!" "Gash can lie. He's an old hand at this game. He made his boast in Deadwood that he could always find plenty of ore as long as his neighbors had any. It's like as not he's fooled Conrath all through. When he struck that streak of ore, ho couldn't keep from followin it any more'n you kin keep a hound off a bear track. When shall I get in there, sir?" "You're not going in, West. I'll have a surveyor up from the camp to run the end line across and get the distance tc the Shoshone shaft Then I'll get underground somehow with a pocket compass." "You'd better let me go down, sir." "It can't be done that way. I've got to give my affidavit to get out the injunction on. Then we'll drive that drift through till we can swear what ground we're on!" "It's a good time to go now, sir. Conrath's over the range, and Gash hac been on a spree. He won't be underground tomorrow anyhow7 How,i»uch

fora the fire, his head wen niteu, ms cigarette burning out in his fingers. "I think you might's well take ycui chance, sir. He'd do it with you quick enough. It's no fool of a job you're undertakin, Mr. Hilgard." "I know it, West, but if I do it at all I've got to do it my own way—not Conrath's way or Gashwiler's. I'll tp.ke my chances with Conrath on tne ground."

CHAPTER IV.

The Younger Sons celebrated theii fortnightly ball that evening in the dining room of the Colonnade House, tlit only suggestion of a colonnade in connection with the house being the row oi hitching posts embedded in the dried mud of the street before it.

The Younger Sons was a sclect bachelor club of the highest social aspirations. The sons were not all in their first yout h. Some of them, it is to be feared, had known moments which were not those of aspiration but, sis sons go, they represented a tolerable filial average.* There might have been something deprecatory in the modest title they had chosen. At all events, they had found favor with the indulgent mothers of the camp, who accepted their invitations and danced with them at tho fortnightly ball, with -jhe assumed approbation of the fathers.

Hilgard could have been a Younger Son had he desired. He liad complimentary tickets sent him for the dances, for which unusual attention he was indebted to feminine if not to maternal influence. Men were at a discount on these

They stood about in one an­

other's way, and trod on one another's toes, against the wall, in a dreary, superfluous manner, which would have touched the sympathies of women not already overburdened with masculine claimants for them. Hilgard, having been gratuitously chosen as an object of feminine sympathy, would doubtless not have been sent to the wall, but heretofore he had been an unresponsive and ungrateful object. Ho had given away his ball tickets, and his dress suit had remained folded in the bottom of his trunk Tonight, however, at half past 9 o'clock, a visitor who stepped in out of the fresh night air found him sitting at his office desk in full evening costume writing telegrams.

It was a young lawyer of Hilgard's acquaintance, who, after a careless greeting, regarding him critically from a comfortable vantage in front of the fire, remarked: "Rather more style than the occasion calls for, but you will do very welL "What occasion?" Hilgard inquired, folding his telegrams. "A sung little supper at Archer's. It's rather late to ask you. Fact is, you weren't included in the first deaL I asked Pitt to meet txvo Chicago men, just in, but he's gone back on me at the last minute. Have you got something else on hand?" "I'm going to the Prodigals. This was the painful perversion which the title of Younger Sons had suffered in unfraternal circles of the camp. "I'm getting rather sick of this crawling 'bout underground. It's a comfort to stretch one's legs and get on a suit of clothes that isn't decorated in relief with candle grease." "Come and stretch your legs under Archer's hospitable board. You won't find any use for them at the Prodigals! You can't get a partner at this hour. Every card in the room is full." "I may not dance, but I'm going. Shall I send you a substitute?" "If you can find me a good one, but you'd much better come yourself and eat some trout. Tho Chicago men will think from your get uj) that Led Horse stock is booming. I won't tell them your ore is chiefly in the Shoshone bins."

As the legal counsel for the Led Horse, intimately acquainted with its difficulties, Wilkinson might have been pardoned this jest, but Hilgard flushed as he replied: "My get up was not furnished by the Led Horse. There is not much of the boy left in me, but I'm going to give what there is a chance tonight. Tomorrow"— He repented apparently of having begun the sentence and left it frankly unfinished, lifting his head and following with his eyes a ring of smoke that floated upward to the ceiling.

4'Tomorrow

forevermore, eh?" Wilkinson remarked, eying the young superintendent with some amusement "You're expecting your gray hairs by the next stage?" "I'm expecting Conrath by the next stage. He is doing his best to promote my gray hairs." "How are you getting on with your testimony?" Wilkinson inquired. "I'm going to hunt up some tomorrow. Confound it all, it's the worst mess you ever saw. We may have to appeal to the unwritten law, after all!" "That's what you're doing tonight, isn't it, with the Prodigals' ball for a tribunal? Conrath, I take it, isn't the defendant in this case!" "I hadn't thought of retaining you for counsel, Wilke," Hilgard retorted. "What time is your supper?" "Eleven, sharp. The Chicago men want to take in the town a little before they eat"

The two young men rode back to the camp together and separated at the telegaph offica Hilgard did not enter the ballroom at once, but reconnoitered the scene from the office of the hotel, which communicated with it. Those who were not called to the feast were apt to congregate here and pick up a few festal criumbs on the threshold.

Hilgard felt roused without being particularly happy. He was not analyzing his mood, or his right to dedicate these few hours, on the eve of an arduous struggle, to his personal claims. He was satisfying himself as to whether his fair neighbor of the Shoshone persuasion was among the dancers. Failing to discover her, he stepped within the doorway for abetter view and found himself just behind a lady of his acquaintance, who was Oftrticinatimr in the old fiwhionArt

quadrille then in progress. He was about to change his position when she saw him and began to talk to him in the I pauses of her facile performance.

She was a lively matron, whose six months' residence in the camp made her a veteran in its society. In spite of a childish face and light, inconsequent manner, she looked no longer young. I The subtle change was like a premature blight on a still full veined flower. Her youthfully rounded cheek had a slightly crumpled texture, and her eyes, of the blue of childhood, were too widely, restlessly expanded. "What has brought you here at last, you incorrigible hermit? Or rather, who has brought you? You have not deigned to come and dance with us married ladies, but no sooner"—she was "balancing" to one of the peripatetic partners in "Gentlemen to the left!" and new. she was whirled by the tips of her fingers and finished the sentence looking at Hilgard over her shoulder as she received the advances of the next—"no sooner do 1 we boast of a lovely young girl from the east but you are hera

She whirled with No. 2, and continued, with her eyes still on Hilgard as sha turned to No. 8 "But you are too late for anything but an introduction. It serves you quite right."

Her partner now seized her by both hands and she was swept away in the final "Promenade all!"

Hilgard moved on among the ranks of blaqk coated wallflowers, but encounfered her again as the quadrille broke

up. She slipped easily from her late partner's arm to his and addressed him with the utmost animation, which yet missed somehow the full accent of gayety. "Why don't you ask me to introduce you?" "To whom, if you please?" "Ah, what a fraud you are! I can see your eyes wandering about everywhere in search of her. You needn't pretend that you don't know who I mean!" 1} "I suppose you are talking of your lovely young girl from the east but how am I to tell her from the married ladies?" said Hilgard, gazing around in mock bewilderment "That's very pretty of you, Mr. Hilgard. I see you are trying to make your peace with ma You know very well that you are talking to her chaperon." "Am I indeed?" Hilgard exclaimed, looking down into the upturned face of this guardian of inexperienced youth.

What a fearful responsibility! You

Hilgard had never felt a greater distaste for the society of the little person who had so freely bestowed herself upon him than tonight. He wondered why he did not escape from her. There was a fatality about women of this kind, he had observed, and vaguely questioned whether, as related to social brutality in

She's having a perfect 'ovation.' a I must say she keeps her head very well for a girl who has been out so little." "Do you suppose a young girl from the east would call this being 'out?',r Hilgard asked indifferently. He was quite sure that Mrs. Denny could not possibly be the chaperon of the young girl he had come to see, and was very little moved by this picture of her as a successful candidate for the social honors of the camp. "Well, I don't know what you would call being 'out,' if this isn't! A perfect wealth of partners, and so cosmopolitan I 1 Why, a girl could dance with a man from every state in the Union!"
