THE ARTIST'S ANGEL.
Anisette had posed all the morning at the Julian academy. When the clock struck noon, she had stepped from the platfonft with the assumed Indifference of an experienced model. It bad not been fatigue that had made her tremble with eagerness to exchange the close studio air for the sunshine of the Champa Elysees. It was Mardl Gras, Mardl Gras In Paris— that is to say, the sun dazzled, the river gleamed, the air sparkled with irresistible hilarity, the very trees on the boulevards threw out gay little ribbons of temptation.
Anlsetto had promised to pose all the afternoon for George-Blackwood, but before that she would have at least one glimpse of the revel—satisfy bar thirsty little soul with one hastily snatohed swallow of enjoyment. Bo she ran the gantlet of the crowded streets, held here, caught there, cajoled, threatened, pursued, until she escaped Into the impasse off the Boulevard St. Michel, where B^kwood lived. She arrived at the studio flushed, disheveled and breathless, with her absurd little hat and her shabby velvet cape all powdered with gold and sliver dust.
George Blackwood had been pacing up and down In a rage of Impatience, but at her entrance he thre^v himself Into a chair with a shoqt of relict "Enfln, Anisette," be cried, but it Is adorable of ?ou to oome today "V'la!" said Anisette proudly. Ipromlsod I would come. I am hero. I understand how much depends upon me. Besides I must bo in tho Chnmp do Mars as well as that peacock Celestine, posing for your frloml at 25. As for the folly outside, that Is all child's play." She waved her hand with superb disdain, tossed lier hat across tho room and began at once to prepare for hor poso.
Seizing his palette, Blackwood squeezed his tubes with an unsteady hand. He was a young follow, but his 05 years had been all sturm uml drang. He had a worn face, with high cheek bones his forehead whero it was visible under the thatch of grayish blond hair was prematurely lined, and tho eyes, which shono under overhanging brows, blinked and stared like those of a cat in the dark. At once imaginative and critical, ho was a victim of that moral hypochondria, morbid wolf analysis wli giant's physique ho combined a WOIIKIU'H sensibilities, a woman power of com ontratod passion. Intensely preoccupied with himself, he gave but a perfunotor.v attention to tho experiences so many other men wore eager to dilate upon for his henollt. As a consequence ho could number his acquaintances on his fingers. He had no friends, lie lived alono, drinking innumerable cups of black coffee, smoking cigarettes as unconsciously as he breathed, palming early and late, painting while he dovourod his meals, painting while he slept. Ho gave himself to his art wholly and without reserve, but he would
make
no concessions to his divinity
he would not woo her to oomo to him he would compel her. Sometimes he succeeded for tho time being, but she bore the marks of the confllot.
As he prepared hIn palette he soothed his excitement by laughing with Anlsetto over her descriptions of the masks she had seen, as a man speaks gently to a restive horse ho oannot qui to control.
When Anisette sprang to the platform and assumed her pose, his brows relaxed he was confident, exultant. She stepped Into the shadow oast by a screen, and she seeraod to him to have a luminous quality, like a streak of pale light. Ho had puinted her in au artificial twilight against a piece of purple volvet that had boon worn into grays as dollcafco as tho mists over distant hills at ovenlng. Tho light brushed hor shoulders and her outstretched arms in a throad of gold, molted In tho diaphanous drapory floating about her and burned like aflame In her hair. The wings of a great sea bird hovered behind her.
Tho shouts from the street below reached them faintly. Anlsetto occupied herself with fancies as blear re as tho costumes of the revelers, but she neither spoke nor moved, ami tho transfigured purity of hor upturned face was as changeless ns a mask in marble. To lllackwood as ho painted she was as lnoorjoreal as tho ovenlng star. Ho had thought of calllug his picture that when it was completed.
Blackwood talked unconsciously to hlmnelf as he worked. He painted with shaking fingers, stopping every now and then to steady himself, staring at her dumblyone moment thrilled anew by the beauty of his conception, the triumphal sense of power, the next chilled with tho hopelessness of adequate expression, overcome by a dismal prophetic vision of that moment When the joy of the creation would pass •nd leave him with the nauseating cerainty of having failed somewhere, aomo|w, by a breath too little or too much.
Anisette filled the whort pauses with her ohatter—a chatter that relieved the tension of Blackwood's nerves. He looked at the little creature with a softened glance, his face relaxed from the grlnmce into which his nervousness had twisted it. "Anisette," he said, touching her hand with an impetuous movement, "my picture will bo a success. It will be you who h» "belt. We will celebrate it. What will v'dta have thou?" "HMf a doxen jwtes with foie gras," •aid Anisette promptly, "champagne, oysters and for solid huugura blf'tek as thick vour hand." "And something to wear—something for your pretty little head," ho added, flourishing a paint brush.
Anisette glowed with pleasure. A lions! Let us work, then let uswork!" she cried.
Blackwood seized his palette. For an hour the slienco was util.mken. Anisette had lost feeling In orv i.f her feet, and her arms trembled with the effort of holding them upraised. She had posed standing from 8 to 13, from I till very nearly 4. She was grateful that the February day was short, l»ut Blackwood a* the light faded worked himself Into desperation. Be had exhausted his tube uf madder. Anisette's Utile figure had grown rl 5 it had lofo It* subtle delkwcy of tr.ov» ••Baite!" he said at last, dn«- jm,# Into chair with a sudden spasm zu ustion. HI# palette arm bad cramps Ma painting hand was stiff as with ooM.
Anisette throw herself eagerly inta her preparations for departum. What wild of revelry darted Into her brilliant
little head, pale but a moment before with faintnesa and fatigue! "I want this handkerchief, my friend," she cried. "It is Mardl Gras. And 1 want this bit of blue silk, and you must lend me this droU bag with the spangles. It will hold my confetti."
Anisette twisted the silk into her bright hair, covered her worn velvet bodice with the drapery, suspended from her neck the bag with the spangles, and finally, when all was complete, stood on a chair in order to see herself in a misty and deprecating lulrror. Blackwood watched her with contempt, contrasting her with the intellectual delicacy of bis painted figure.
Anisette startled him from his reflections by balancing herself on one foot and landing on tho other close to his chair, with one hand held out in a saucy little movement of appeal..
A dark flush mounted Into Blackwood's face. His hand made a mechanical journey to bis pocket. "Only a little—a very Uttle," she demanded.
Blackwood's search brought to light one •liver piece of 10 sous an 3 half a dozen coppers. His sunken eyes blazed at tbe girl,' who was about to possess herself of them. "That Is all I have," he said harshly.
Anisette hesitated, sighing deeply, but her eyes were riveted upon the silver piece. "Lend them to me," she said. "I will bring them back to you tomorrow, or, better still, this evening at 7."
With a sudden, swift sweep her little band grasped the coin, and then Anisette, laughing like a child, threw him a kiss and fled.
Blackwood hurled the door to with his foot. He glanoed around the room like an animal, breathing heavily. His lips moved into suppressed execrations against her, against art, against the whole aocursed city.
Anisette ran out of the dark Impasse Into the Boulevard St. Michel. Tbe streets were crowded ribbons of colored paper fluttered from tbe windows and had caught In the branches of the bare trees. A Pierrot with an artist's beard caught her rfhd rained a shower of confetti over her bead and shoylders. She watched the bag from his hand and pelted him In return, using hor elbows to wedge her way through the crowd.
She Invested her ill gotten wealth recklessly in a supply of colored bags of confetti, which sho now proceeded to sell ufc exorbitant prices with a rattling accompaniment of sharp jests and questionable oompliments. A slim harlequin In black and yellow satin slipped his arm about her waist, ond they danced together down the Btrect. Tho harlequin aided her soles, exacting even more extravagant profits. He becamo an adopt in smashing bags of confetti in the faoes of too affectionate purchasers, adding a last touch of contempt by tipping up Anisette's little faoe and kissing her himself.
Harlequin .was a merry soul, and the droll bag with tho spangles began to weigh with tho coppers dropped into it. Anisette invested in new suppllos, drifting with the motley crowd over the bridge of St. Michel, fighting her way to tho great boulevards, whore her little soul flamed with joy, where she and harlequin forgot to make money and simply gave themselves to tho exuberance of tho moment. What a gay, brilliant, fine thing It was to be alive.
Anlsetto knew no oxhoustion, but as the lights sprang into tho night sho suddenly paused in her rapacious and inexhaustiblo energy. "V'la," she whispered to harlequin, "I have enough. I go. Amuse thyself, Corlrvne. Thou art"—
Sho slipped hor arm about tho nock of hor friend and raised her faco gratefully. "For whom is it, all this?'.' nald harlequin, rattling the spangled hag.
Anisette laughed and shrugged her shoulders. For a poor dovil of an artist, who owes mo for ton posos. Ho paints mo as an angel. I am as much alive to him as tho Holy Mothor to a priest." "And I will be as much alive as the Holy Mother if I am not back in tlmo to make my good man his bowl of soup. Till tomorrow, Anisette I" "Till tomorrow, Corinncf"
Anlsotto slipped away into a side street. She showered oonfotti as she ran. The blood was flying through her veins and singing in her dizzy little head. The air struck her hot cheeks gratefully, and she found her breath as sho darted In and out and around corners, through tho circuitous route sho had chosen. "What would ho say?" she thought, that strange, grave man, who starved ond fell into a rago and was one moment in hooven and .the next in hell who gnawed his mustache and bit his lips and shook 11 ko a druukord over his work, but who painted, painted, painted. He would bo a great man, without a doubt, or perhaps, reflected Anlsetto sagely, he would die some day with a pistol bolo In his head like that other poor George sho had known with the droll American name. At least for onco this door George would have a dinner—as much as she could carry.
Tho sky was studded with stars—twinkling with enjoyment, thought Anisette— the air tingled with frosty radiance the moon had risen belliud tho bare light trees of the Luxembourg gardens
As the clock struck the half hour after 7 Anisette turned into the house where Blackwood had his studio on the top floor. Tho concierge had joined the revelers, and the small flicker of gas which usually emphasised tho darkness was not yet lit. Anisette felt her way carefully. Sho bad her arms full. There was window on one landing, and her shadow, laden with bundles, threw a long grotesque blackness on the opposite wall. She swallowed a little burst of laughter.
Before lilac1 /rood's door she paused to get her breath. It was Intensely still. Her hands were full, so she knocked gently with her heel. There was no answer, and Anisette, trembling with impatience, deposited her bundles ujwn the floor, and putting her cheek against the door called bis name in a voice that gradually sank to a whisper. An orange rolled out from a bag and dropped with soft, melancholy distinctness from stair to stair. One of the beautiful, oranges! Her heart began to beat- heavily. There was no sound, no sound fnmi within. ShotisrEctl the handle softly, and It ylekle^ t.» her touch.

IN OLD CALIFORNIA.
A MINER WHO PUT IN FIFTY YEARS AT GOLD HUNTING.
Be Took All the Course* From Pan to Dynamite—His Story of the Marshall find—Barkeepers Who Had Big Thumbs
and Fingers.
Gathered in and around Butte are men who have mined in almost every country under the son: but, although charming conversationalists jin the society of their friends, for some unaccountable reason they become suddenly dumb when approached by a newspaper ma.n_
It was a reporter's luck yesterday to run against one who talked in an in* teresting way. He was a large, rather fine looking man, apparently about -70 years of age, and a man who had watched with close interest the progress of mining on the Pacific coaat emcf the historio days of 1849. .,^1 "Yes, I was out in Californy in the old days," h^ replied to a question, and then added with a pleasant smile: "I was thar from 1849 to 1889 and took all the courses, from pan to little giant and from handmade black- powder cartridges to dinnymite. "When gold was discovered by Marshall in that tail race and Sutter was digging for his sawmill at Colomi, not a m»n in that country knew a thing about mining. Never heard how they knew it was gold, hey? Well, there has been a great many stories told about it, but here is the right one: It was a little nugget Marshall picked up, worth $3 or $4. Each one of the gang looked at it, bit it, tasted it, rubbed it, smelled it, but none of them had a clear idea what it was. Several thought it might be gold, but none was sure of it. A happy thought struck Marshall. Mrst Weber boarded the hands. She was making soft soap from pine ashes lye. Marshall proposed the lady should, boil the nugget in lye a day or two, and if it didn't change color or lose its substance in the test it was sure enough gold. Well, it stood the test. The world knows the rest. "Among the first on the ground was a lot of greasers, across between Mexicans and a lower class of humans. God knows they were all low enough, but the cross was no improvement on the general run of the cattle. The greaser brought his willow made pan and knife as his mining toola He cut and scraped among crevices of rocks at the water's edge for 'chispas,' or, as we call them, 'nuggets.' Au enterprising white man made a 'rocker.' That was a great improvement over the willow pan sind knife. In the fall of 1849 picks, shovels, iron pans and sheet iron for rcclrcr screens had been shipped in from Jie outside. Rockcrs sold for three ounrs, shovels half an ounce apiece, picks .he same pans for a quarter of an onncc, gum boots an ounce a pair and wh:Vky a pinch a drink. That was the price in mining camps. A pinch was what a barkeeper could ta^e befweeji his'foi'efinger and thumb. They had big fingers aqd thumbs in those days, and a burkeeper's salary was measured by tit? ir size. Wages was. an ounce a day. "The 'Georgia bumper' displaced the rocker. It was something like a reek/, r, but much larger, aud had several 'riffles' to catch the gold. The ends of the rockers bump against blocks of wood to jar the gravel in the screen and between riffles. A bumper cost $200, a wheelbarrow two ounces, and a China pump $25. That made a btiinper mining outfit. The bumper didn't last long, for the 'Long Tom' soon took its place. That wqs a stationary affair, wjjh long screen in which the 'pay dirt' was thrown. Water was conducted on the screen, the 'wash' falling through the perforations while one of the hands forked out the rocks or small stones. "A sluice or two were added to the Tom. These, as well as the Tom, were supplied with riffles, which generally caught about all the dust. Long Toms were first used in Nevada City in 1850. Improvements in modes of placer mining rapidly followed. Sets of sluices without the Toms were used, then ground sluicing came next, and hydraulic mining, where water and fall could be obtained, displaced the rocker, bumper and Tom. Hydraulic mining is an old thing now." "How about underground mining?" inquired the 91 porter. "Gold bearing quartz was first discovered by some miners in the bed of Deer creek, below Nevada City, in the summer of 1850. It was found in a narrow vein, but the discovery led to the opening up of the magnificent gold bearing quartz mines of Grass valley in Nevada county. All the equipments of the mines were at first crude, but the mines were rich and paid welL Black powder was used in blasting where blasting was necessary. Some years after nitroglycerin was introduced in the state, but an explosion of the stuff in a San Francisco express office knocked it out, and giant powder came into use. You know the rest."—Butte Inter-Mountain.

Rattlesnake Price*.
Rattlesnakes, live ones, are surprisingly cheap For $4 you can purchase a fellow that will begin buzzing like a peanut vender's steam whistle as soon as he sees you and keep it up as long as yon remain in eight, while his slender black tongue darts in and out like a sewing machine needle. For $17 you can boy a six footer whose bite would seem a reasonable excuse for drinking a whole keg of whisky at a sifting. The astonishing feature of the rattlesnake trade, however, is that the snakes are cheaper dead than alive. A prepared akin the an of the $1? live rattler maybe purchased for $5, although there is enough of it to make two or three pocket books of the kind that sell for $25 apiece.—New York

TWO WOMEN AT A LUNCH.
They Monopolised the Room and Obtained Their Money's Worth.
In lower Broadway there are "quick lunch" rooms where busy men resort at midday for alight meaL At these pla* I men, without removing hatr. cr cutrr coats, sit on high stools at higher counters or stand in front cf buffets and help themselves to the food arranged for their convenience. Women are seldom seen in these rooms, but occasionally a slight sensation is caused among patrons and waiters by their appearance.
While I was seated at one of the counters the other day two women with seven packages of various sizes entered and while five score or more of eyes were on them stepped up to the counter and asked what the menu was. A polite waiter answered the question by rattling off the names of a couple of dozen dishes. "We will have coffee," answered one of the women as they climbed onto stools that didn't allow their feet to touch the floor and spread out their packages on the counter. "I have changed my mind and will take chocolate instead of coffee," said one when the waiter came with the coffee. With a smile on his averted face the waiter retraced his steps, and when he returned with the chocolate found the women had opened one of the seven packages and displayed six homemade sandwiches. "Will you give us a plate and knife?" asked one. "And some butter?" requested the other.
The plate, knife and butter were set before them. 'Do you fuitiish pickles with coffee?'' asked one. The answer was a dish of umall choice pickles set in front of them. "Some water, please?" came from the same woman. "And napkins?" said the other.
They received both water and nap kins, and all for 5 cents apiece,—New York Herald.
WHAT AN ADJUSTER CAN DO.
A Drummer Learned Something That He Did Not Know Before.
The traveling man: "I Qjver knew just how colossal a chump I am until the other day, when I went out with a railroad adjuster to settle a claim for damages against his company. An old farmer had tried to use a crossing just as a locomotive needed it. The result was that his horses were killed, the wagon knocked into firewood, the harness scattered for half a mile alonpr the track and his pretty young wife so broken up that she will never walk again. Well, sir, you should have seen that adjuster do business. He gave his v'ct"::.i a big cigar, came rat strong 0111 .0 silver, jollied tV fanner into thinking wheat would britg a big price next season, irr.'lied him to take a ride on their rr.:lroi.u v.benevrr he wanted to and then slid into business. "The horr ?s, harness and wagon wer^ discussed, end a valuation was agreed upon. The farmer was then ready to sign a recent in full, but the adjuster knew his business, and, after throwing the old man into convulsions with a few good storks, suddenly suggested, as though it had jnst come to his mind, that it would be too bad not to puy something fr.r the pretty wife, who was doomed to spend the rest of her years ill bed. The farmer would be 'gol tiurncd' if he'd ^bought of that, but guessed ^20 Was not too liigh a figure. He was jollied down to $15, and when we made our escape I was blushing from tip to tip. "On the way back that fellow began talking about investing some money with him in a little scheme of his. I just made sure that my watch and pocketbook were still with me, jumped over the front wheel and walked five miles to the city. If I'm ever wrecked on a railroad, what's left of me will have a ma,n with a gun to keep adjusters away."—Detroit Free Press.

Id Fashioned
—compound cathartic pills, blue pills,"calomel or other niercurial preparations, should not be used in these days of enlightened medical science, iwhen it is so easy to 1 get a purely vegetable •pill in concentrated form, sujpr coated, In glass vials, at any store where medicines are kept.
Dr. Pierce was first
to introduce a Little Pill to the American people. Many have imitated them, but none nave approached his Pleasant Pellets in true worth, or value, for all laxative and cathartic purposes. Oflce Used, Ihtj are Always ia Favor.
Assist Nature a little now and then, with a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby removing offending matter from the stomach and bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver and quickening its tardy action, and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipation, piles, fistula and maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their Dowels, they would have less frequent occasion to call for their doctor's services to subdue attacks of dangeroos diseases.
That, of all known agents to accomplish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequaled, is proven by die fact that once used, they are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to further constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, ueir^reat popularity, with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and indigestion.
They absolately curt sick headache, bilioosness, constipation, coated tongue, poor appetite, dyspepsia and kindred derangements of the stomach, liver and bowels.
