THE MINER'S RETURN

"We'll never get rich ttor way," said Abner Landon, looking gloomily at his wife. "It take* nearly everything we can make to pay our way and thwe'B nothing much laid away. It's no use trying any longer with this old farm. It's worn outs and that's the end ... of i\" ... "•Don talk that way, Abnor," replied hi* wife wfeixje c1 -thin Jorm pUinlf*iadiea*64 performed her »hiu*c of work to Increase the family wealth. "You make me uneasy and restless when you talk like that We have plenty to carry us along with, and that's better than many other poor mortals," "Ye*, vou'ro rijrht, Mandy, but that ain't the question. There are many better off than we are. too. That old jacket of yours ain't fit to be worn an1 other year alongside of that new one of

Bill Jones'u wife. She had anew one on the other day, and she was all stuck up in her fine feathers. You are just as good as she is. every mite, and you ain't made to wear poorer clothes,"

Abner shook his head discontentedly, and looked across the wide open fields as ho puffed away at his pipe. He would clothe his wife, who had toiled faithfully with him for a dozen years, as well as any woman could wish if the funds were only tils but his labor and planning did not seem to yield him more money than was needed for current expenses. "Abner, I don't want a new jacket," his wife replied, coming closer to his side. 4I can fix over the old one this winter, and maybe by another year we'll bo bettor off." ... "No, no, we won't" was the discouraging reply. "It's the same old story. We won't bo better off on this placo. It goes back every year, and there ain't no money coming In." "Bat wo ought to be satisfied with what we have. We have each other, and llfjtle Jack is growing to be such a fine lad. He'll soon bo able to help you on the farm."

The proud father cast a look of admiration at his young son. who was growing up to be the vory image of himself. But his smile soon loft his face, as he thought of how poorly he oould provldo for tho education of such a son. "That's it again, Mandy it's another reason why we should make more, money. Jack nems a hotter education than I can give him. He must go away to college. We must make money we must get rich."

He did not notice tho worried expression on the pale face before him, but after a short pause he continued: "I've bom thinking of prospecting for money. I might strike something rich in the mines. Who can tell? I might be one of the lucky fellows to plok up a fortune. Then you wouldn't have to work any more, and we oould sell this old farm and livo in comfort Wouldn't that be fine? We'd be like another couple then, and we'd see something of tho world."

The clouded face brightened up wonderfully as he described the picture of his future existence, but Mandy's did not reflect tho oppression. The troubled look on hers deepened and in* tonsllled. "Oh, Abner, don't get suejt silly notions In your head. I am contented with my life and never grumble. We've worked along together so far, and let us keep on. Mining is more uncertain than farming. I'll wear all of my old clothes for years to come, and never think about them. Come, (sheer up, and don't let such thoughts come into your head." "That's the way with women. They don't want to change, or let a man make a change. But nothing risked, nothing gained."

Abn^r Landon wis not convicted by his wife'* words. Although he had found her advice profitable many times, he now felt that his own knowledge of the case was far superior to hers. He wanted to make money taster, so that he could re&Ute a good, comfortable bank account and dress his wife bettor.

As he returned to his work in the fields he thought over the past dozen year*, and evolved in his mind many plans and schemes for the future. When he married Mandy he had prombed on her w«£iin£ day to make her rich, hut he had never redeemed his promise. It was no fault of his, for he was an honest hardworking son of toll, and he had done everything In his power to make the old farm yield more. But It was hard work to lay anything aside* and the work of get* ling rich was alow and disoouraging.

The thought then entered his mind that he must make a chang« In his occupation. Others had embarked in new enterprises and realised fortunes. It might bo within hiajx»wer to do the Mine. Tho thought of leaving his home and traveling ta the mines w*» not plo&wuit but the prospect of getting suddenly rich spurred him on.

That night, i»d sevens! succeeding nights, he pretended to read his paper by lamplight but he was really toning over his mind th» scheme* of making money. He looked round on the poorly but neatly furnished room, and thought how he would soon dtanva *11 of 0*1*. The old family h*trlooma no longer had, any attraction for him. They seamed poor *rA worthier eoa* oared with the ar es fcumltara which h«i saw in his night dreuas and day visions.

One day he walked wr* to his fiolda as usual, but perhaps »a more than usually affectionate parting With Mandy and Jack. A tear dropped froa» Ma are* as he strode rsuidlv toward* lbs

n" "n before. He was

t&mj bo-aM*. Ivr &<. mine* to seek his fortune. He loft a noto behind, explaining to Mandy that he would be hack when his fortune was made- Then he would come and make life happy and pleasant for her. He left all his money with her, amounting to several hundred dollars, which would pay expenses until he returned. If he did not come before that was all exhausted, she could mortgage the farm.

Everything was left in Mandy's hands, but Abner was gone. He journeyed on foot and by rail toward the distant mines, where he was to realise his fortune. He was prepared to meet with failure at first and ne was not easily discouraged.

Life In the poor mining camp was rough and laborious,- and many a night Abner Landon longed for the quiet farm. He struggled along the beat ha could, hardly making enough to support life. He could not send any funds home, and he had not the courage to write until he found better luck. From one camp to another he drifted, following every story and rumor about rich discoveries.

The, onc^^Jawy^., strong-limbed farmer degencniccf 'iut-o a lej js, hungry-looking minor, with long, uncropped hair and beard, and staring, wild eyes. They said he half starved himself to hoard up some money with which to purchase a small digging. He prospected late and early, examining every foot of ground around the camps. Life was becoming desperate for him, and his chances of making a fortune were dwindling.

Two years passed, and he was still a poor minor. His spirit was nearly broken, and his courage was oozing out slowly. He longed for a sight of his cosey home, and the loved ones in it and in his dreams he talked and spoke of Mandy and Jack. But his pride kept him from returning in a poorer condition than when he left.

Several diggings were bought by him with his hard-earned and carefully hoarded money, but they all proved failures. None of the preoious metal could be found. Then he returned to his old labor, and saved and tolled for anothor venture. His physical strength gradually left him under the intense mental excitement and strain.

The time came when fortune seemed to change. He had saved enough to make one more venture. He examined tho ground carefully before purchasing the claim, for he felt that everything depended upon his final effort failure would kill him. He felt it in his bones, and he shuddered at the thought

When the transfer was finally made he went to work feverishly, and worked almost to oxhaustion. No signs of tho precious metal was found, ana his spirits began to fail. He returned to his poor cabin, and wrote a letter to Mandy, telling her of his long strug-' gles and failures. This was to be mailed to his wifo if death carried him away unexpectedly.

As a last effort ho returned to the claim and to Jiis worlc ^He labored mdcl^idallf/lttd^thoat a purpose but suddenly his eyes opened wide with astonishment and he leaped up with the exclamation, "Eureka!"

Ho had triumphed. The mine was ft fortune in itself, and his long-anticipat-ed wealth had at last been realized. The fearful cost at which it had been purchased was nothing now to the joy of returning home, and carrying tho good news to his wife and son.

Steam could not carry the K»lffrenzled miner fast enough, and he was far ahead of the cars in spirit At last he reached the homo of his boyhood, and rushed up to his old farmhouse, which was now as dear and preoious in his sight as it was before unpleasant. Strangers and neighbors wore coming in and out of his home, and he wondered at it He hurried on across tho field.

Ho was in his rough miner's clothes, and his old friend? did not recognize him. He pushed his way through the small crowd, and Inquired tho meaning of tho assembly. "Why, man, it's death Mandy Landon is dead," replied a stalwart farmer. Then noticing the pale, reeling man at his side, ho continued: "Why, bless mo! it's Abner Landon himself^

The roughly dressed minor could make no reply. He sank Into a chair, while every thing seemed to swim about him. It seemed like tho vision of a disordered brain, and for a long time he remained in a quiet stupor. Neighbors sympathised with him. but they oould not lift tho weight from his heart His fortune had brought him sorrow rather than pleasure.

THE MASQUERADE BALL

My chum. Dick Harborne. aad I were sitting together in our room. It Was but two weeks after the opening of the fall term, and, as Dick said, "Studying still came hard." He was reading at the table. 1 was lying on the window-seat behind him, smoking my pipe and thinking—well—thinking of those moonlight nights the month before, when the Teutonic out so merrily throughy|j^^Te^.?^a^:,,

Dick heaved a deep sigh. It inter* ruptedmy reverie, yet after all, chimed in most appropriately wifih my thoughts. Yes! Summer was over no more travel, no more excitement, no more pleasant evenings on deck, beside—but what was the matter with Dick? That yellow novel before him was hardly suggestive of melancholy. No! Dick was unhappy from some other cause perhaps he too regretted that the summer had slipped away so fast I, being something of a stoic, could easily lay-aside my own troubles to sympathize with his. I would cheer him up. "I say, old man," I began, "funny things happened this afternoon. I bowed to Miss Reiter for your sister. They look a good deal alike don't you think 80P" "Yes, I do," Dick replied without looking up from his book.

This was rather unsuccessful. However, he seemed to appreciate so fully the truth of my first remark, that, afier puffing away at my pipe for a few moments in silence, I venturod another. «-I suppose you're going to the Harland's masquerade ball next week, I think it'll bo protty good fun."

The yellow book sailed wildly across the room, the sturdy chair swung around with a vicious squeak, and there facing me sat my chum, with an Indescribable expression of wounded dignity, and smouldering wrath, upon his face. "Look here, Jim, are you trying to get me mad? You know well enough mat I wouldn't go to that ball if you'd pay me." "Don't know anything of tho kind," I replied. "What's your reason?" I was a little exasperated at the failure of my philanthropic efforts. "Had enough of ma-^uerade balls," he answered gloomll, 7 on looking iternly at nie he mUl" «plcln"t you hear about the ball wdTlU** this summer at Dearboino?" "No," I replied, "give it to us." For a moment he was silent He seemed undecided whether or not to tell the story. Finally-a smile passed over his face, and looking good-na-turedly at me. he said: "I might as well tell you, I suppose. If you hadn't been in Europe, you'd have heard all about it before now. There's one thing, however, I want jrou to .understand." he added, "and that is that you must never again say a word to me about the matter."

The expression in Dick's eyes, and th« suppressed chuckle with which he accompanied this last remark, showed me plainly that he was having a littio |oke about somebody, whether himself tr not I couldn't quite make out Howiver, aa tho story promised to bo amusing, I did not trouble myself as to whom the hero might be, but settling back more comfortably in tho windowteat refilled my pipe and waited for the yarn. Dick was slow, but he had droll way of telling a story that was vory entertaining. "You see," ho began, 'wo were all jp at Dearborn© this summer, the irhole family, when what must my sistor Klsle do but invite Helen Reiter to ttay with us at tho hotel. I nsed to dice Miss Reiter. you know." "Don't you now?" hero interrupted.

"Keep still, will you, till I finish tny itory," Dick ropliod. and I, dreading »noe more to arouse my chum's anger, was silent "Well. Miss Belter came, Sho and walked, rode and boatod together. We used to make up parties to climb DM mountains. I always went with her. The other fellows were trumps they kept off to give me a fair chance, lund I suppoee 1 had it," ho added after pause. There appeared, however, tome doubt in Dick's mind as to the irath of the last remark. Moreover, tho smile with which ho began his taio was gradually disappearing. In moment he continued: "I toll you, iim, those eyes of bors and that low roico—" ••Ohl go on," I said. I was not Mrt&nally much interested in Miss Baiters eyes and voice.

'She moved gradually toward

the door soon I saw her leave the room and walk slowly out on the dark side of the piazza. I followed her, and when she had almost reached the reading-room door, spoke. "Is it you, Helen?" She simply 00wed her head and "put her arm in mine she was expecting me. There were no lights in the rootft. We sat on a little sofa that stood in the bay window. The evening was very warm the moonlight streamed across the piazza and in through the open window, flooding the room. Outside it was still.

She only listened and drew closer to me. Once I asked her to raise her veil, but she shook her head slowly. I forgot what happened next I think I took her hand, then, then—"

Dick started that soft, far-away expression disappeared suddenly his eyes shone almost fiercely something, forgotten in his dreaming,'must have come back to anger him. 'Let's have it old man," I said gently, "what did you do next?" "Well," he blurted out "I told her that I loved her, and asked her if she loved mo. For a minute she didn't speak, and then said" very low, 'Yes, Dick dear, I do very much kiss me, Dick,' and drawing her vol1 a^ide, the mionllfht fell full on'hor face as she held it up to mine."

Dick had risen at this point, seized his hat and was standing by the door when I said: "Well, you did it old man, Til bet" :.h -Damned if I did," he replied. *A man don't kiss his sister every time she asks him to," with which remark the door slammed after him. In an instant it opened again, aad thrusting his head into the room, my chum added in a roar, "Whole crowd of 'em sitting out on the piazza, too, just beside the windows, listening to what I said, hang'em," and this time I heard his footsteps as he stormed down the stairs. ..

I saw Dick's sister two days later. "What made you play such a trick on Dick last summer?" 1 asked.

Oh! he's told you, has ho? Why, you see Miss Reiter was engaged last summer, although no one in the hotel besides herself and me knew it Dick made a perfect fool of himself- about her, and as she didn't want to announce the engagement and I couldn't bring him to reason by good advice, "wo thought we'd cure him another way, that's all." ijust like a girl to do a thing like that," I remarked and she oouldnt deny it

A GEORGIA CRACKER.

Vise Name Not Term ol Iteproaeb Way Rows Hoath. The race that tends the spindles of the cotton-growing states is altogether unique. To .describe it geographical boundaries must be effaced and national peculiarities ignored for the blood of the followers of cavaliers in Maryland, noblemen in Virginia, Swiss and palatines in North Carolina and Huguenots in the Palmetto State blends with that of the Impecunious gentleman brought by Oglethorpe to Georgia, and everywhere crops out in one quaint battling orieinal, unchangeable type. Even our nomenclature fails under the Btrain of a classification so difficult A name must be coined to specify this strange, homely, ungainly native folk that delve in tobacco, cotton and corn, distill whisky in the mountains and spin or weave in villages and towns. "Craokers" in every mood and tense, past present and future they are: "crackers" in dialect feature, coloring, dress, manner, doings and characteristics. In their native habitat the termMs not a reproach but a scientific distinction, expressing undlsguisable, stubborn, ineradicable cuulitles, which isolate that large portion of the community whom the epithet embraces—hundreds of thousands of non-slave holding whites in ante-bellum days and their present descendants.

Too IHueli Hand-Shaking. There is nothing more agreeable to a warm-hearted man or \roman than a cordial hand-shake with a friend, but there are circumstances under which even hand-shaking is superfluous and undesirable. For example, take a reception by some prominent official in Washington, fc-ay there area thousand people in attendance. Each shakes hands with the host and hostess on arrlvlag. When tho time or departure comes, no visitor feels it liberty to leave without bidding the hostess good-bye with another hand-shake. By the time everybody ias gone the hostess will have shaken aands at least 2,000 times, and feels is tired as a laborer aft^r a day's ivork. Here is an opportunity for a .•eform that will be agreeable to aospitable people in Washington and alsewhere as well.

Women and Poetry.

Most of the poetry appearing in lurrent periodicals is written by women. The s&x has an easier knack jf versification than men, as well as A more sentimental cast of mind, and these are the qualities mostly distinguishing the poetry of the day. Even In literature as in everything else man is more practical than ever be. fore, and now take3 to prose in profsrence to poetry, because it pays better. But woman is not a whit bebind lum In this line ot writing, and, generally reviewing the field, may be aald to be moro than holding her own in literary work.
