I saw a black calla in a Riverside garden the other day just about my color. Hark! what's thatl" he concluded, coming to a sharp top.
All day long on the unfrequented highway he had not met a living soul. "Is it a coyote? Nobody seems to know here whether a coyote ever howls or no. Hut a mountain Hon they are certain a mountain lion 'snarls.' I think I'll move on.'' The sound came again. It was articulate this time. Surely no mountain lion could so far forget himself as to call out "Hello!" He paused and turned himself about. Then he heard it again. "Help! Help! Hello! Hellooo'" Just beyond a clump of live oaks, Tom at last fancied he .saw the fluttering of gray skirts. "Coming!" he shouted, breaking into a run, and in smother minute brought up face to face with a pale, bareheaded woman. She looked at him timidly an instant, then spoke: "Can you help me? My
husband is lost! We were camping, out
Mr. Hartley and I," she continued, pointing offto a wooded slope where Tom could dimly discern a large
wniron sind a horse staked out under
- r ' the trees.
"II went to look un some insect or
some flower, I forget which, and said
he should not be gone lifteen minutes. That was three hours ago." "Did he walk?" asked Tom. "No. he took one of the horses,"
"Which way did he go?" asked Tora.
"1 don't know there s the troume,
I was half asleep in the wagon and
never looked up. I only said: 'Don't be gone long,' and Mr. Hartley replied:
'Not more than fifteen minutes.' 1

remarked soothingly: "Well, if Mr.

He rode both east and west long distances, but camu on no trace of the naturalist. It was growing interesting. "He has tumbled down one of the steep sides here and sprained his ankle and his horse lias galIocd oil"," Tom assumed at lust. "I'll make a prodigious noise to kind of encourage him." It was no hardship whatever to young l'arlin to "make a prodigious noise." He was in such bounding spirits over his recovered health that
shouting came easy. He just stopped short where he was and made the welkin ring with college songs for about ten minutes. A dead silence followed.
"So much for a man setting his heart
on bugs," he growled, sis he rode on.
"Hugs are good enough in their places. I wish them well, but when it comes to a married man leaving his wife in a wilderness " A sound had suddenly reached Iiis ear. He drew up and sat still on his horse's back. The sound was repeated after a moment. It came from down in the canyon. Tom rode to the edge, and, after some steady gazing, fancied he could make out the figure of a man prone
among some manzanitu hushes, but
was by no means sure, there was no horse to be seen anywhere. "Hello!" he called, "I'm coming!"
Divesting himself of gun and game
bag and fastening the horse to a Cot
tonwood, he began the descent of the mountain side, which at that point was nearly perpendicular.
"Who comes?" moaned a weak voice,
as Tom reached the manzanita thick

him from a swoon. He looked bewildered.
His wife took me for a tramp, and
he takes me for si greaser," thought
Tom. but doffed his csip reassuringly.
He knew that he was on the border of Mexico, and that probably his lately
leouired complexion, suggested the
A -' "
Mexican cut-throat.
"Your wife sent me." he said. "I see
you have met with an accident."
Mr. Hartley opened his eyes long
enough to give young Farlin a strong
look. "I've broken my leg." he said
That's bad," said Tora. "I must get
vou out of this at once."
Can vou- do you think I could be
dragged up?" asked the bug hunter.
"I can carry you, " responded lorn,
sneaking on impulse.
Mr. Hadlev smi led slightly, "its too
steep."
"Yes, the precipice is too steep. I
shall carry vou around and strike the
grade," said Tom. He meant the point
where the road some rods distant lelt
the plain to begin the spiral ascent of the mountain.
"Too long," objected the man. Tom answered lightly: "Rut you
know, sir. the longest way round is tue
can't lift a linger myself; you'll have
to pull me through." And to himself he said; "If he does it he'll not be so horry for his night's work." When the young "Samaritan" returned at last, it was in a new role. He now personated Hilly, the missing horse. He had hitched Dick to one side of the wagon tongue, and had taken the other side himself, and was keeping hold of the tongue and steering the craft. Mrs. Hadley sat in the wagon, driving the ill-assorted span, laughing and crying hysterically. "Whoa! Let me out!" she exclaimed, climbing over the wagon wheel and hastening to her husband's side. She was not able at all to control herself. She laughed and cried for the next two or three hours. Her husband lay in the wagon under the cold stars of June, and she sat on the seat and urged her "two abreast" across the table land and up the rough hills and down through the valleys to the nearest town. The jaded Tom was fain to ask as he strained and pulled: "How many miles to Rabylon?" but, like a meek and patient horse, refrained. "There is no other way out of it," he said, pulling along beside Dick. "I couldn't leave. the man. Quite a line fellow, too, barring his mania for bugs." It ncared midnight as the strange team drew up in Klsmore. "I'll have the fun of writing home about this." the off beast of the team
said to himself as he dropped the wagon tongue. "Of course they won't believe si word of it, but they may be
interested in it as a work of fiction."
That this night's exertion proved a
cruel strain on Tom, there is no denying. Hut it was not until his charge
was safe in a surgeon's hands and doing well that he succumbed and took to his bed. As soon as possible he was about again anxious to assist.
Hy this time there had sprung up a
strong attachment between nunseii
and the Hartleys. Little by little they gathered his history. One of a family of eight, he bad worked hard for an

Senator Smith, of New Jersey, one of the- "'conservative" democrats, has now said his little piece and has followed Hill's example, in that he limited himself to ah attack upon the income tax. He gives si number of reasons for his portion, of which no single one is tenable or contains more than empty phrases. That it is unjust in a government to tsix the income of a citizen, but perfectly proper to burden with tsixes the necessary food and clothing of the same citizen is inconceivable.

"He's certainly like him in his squaretoedness," returned Mr. Hadley. "He suits me. I'd like to help him, but there's his tremendous pride!" After this whenever Tom was present the conversation seemed to drift toward lemon ranches. Mr. Hadley
had several lemon ranches scattered in

him out of sight, she said, with a algh:
"So like John!"
This John was her only son, who had died the preceding winter. It was to solace themselves that she and her husband had come on this camping expedition. They were sensible, quiet people, and their stout lumber wagon and other equipments seemed to indicate that Mr. Hadley was the plainest of ranchmen, whereas in fact hc was a multi-millionaire. The young fellow who was so much like John struck Into the mountain road and went due east at a venture. "If this doesn't fetch him I'll tarn and

A prison, a cross, may be a glory, or it may be a shame. Second. A Quarrelsome Disposition. "Who hath contentions?" may mean the conflict between desire und conscience, more probably, quarrels and bickerings. "Quarrelsome when in his cups" is an old saying. Strong drink excites tongue and brain; and "when wine is in, wit is out." and every evil word is spoken that stirs up bad feeling in others. "What quarrels, fightings, and even murders are constantly growing out of the drunkard's 'contentions!' Strong drink inflames the? passions, and at the same time removes the restraint of conscience and will it first maddens and then unchains the tiger.

assaults upon Senator Hill. He is likened to Aaron llurr, Henediet Arnold. God is asked to free the party
from such democrats, and he is treated with unspeakable contempt. Senator Smith, who seems to stand upon the same ground, although for different reasons, may see by this that he does not now represent the party that elected him. It is time that the farce in the senate came to an end. It is time that we know how many democrats and how many republicans are members of that lody, not according to their names but to their sentiments. If
there are to be found so-called iiem-
ocrats in sufllcient numbers to ruin the
party, it is much better to find it out
now than in a tew months, iiteureau-
fill tragedy has lasted long enough, dreadful in its effects on the business interests of the land, und on the hundreds of thousands who must view it
with idle hands and empty stomachs. If these "conservatives" wish to ruin
their party, let them do it, but let them notatthe'ssmie time drag the whole land into misery. The entire country suffers under the uncertainty and has
the right to demand freedom therefrom. It is the duty of the senators of lHJth parlies to voice this demand and
the people dare not ui:ow an opportunity to pass to make their desires known. N. Y. Staats-Zeitung.

One proper reform in the relation
lictween the silk manufacturers and weavers is indicated by the interviews
which we publish. Certain manufnet
urers put forward in their statements for publication the fact that they are readv to pay the weavers from &i to St
a day. Now. this sounds very lileral and tends to destroy all sympathy with the operatives among those who are
not familiar with the methods of the
mill, but when it is understood that
the weaver who is now so unaccounta
blv refusing "S3 and S4" is obliged to
prepare his own loom for work for
nothing and that this operation may
consume many weeks in the year, it will Imj seen thsit the workman is not so unreasonable as would appear from the manufacturer's statement, and a very different light is thrown upon his present course in regard to wages. It
will be observed that one 01 tne weavers, whose interview we print, states that the siverage wsiges in Faterson for lsltt amounted to . a week, when the loom fixing and the long waits between work are considered, which is a verv different thing from the spectacu

we quote states that the wages under the schedule urged by the men would not yield more than from 11 to 513 a
