L’Inconnuk. A BROKEN HEART. BY M. QUAD. A hundred men were digging gold, and they hud named the place “Joe White’s Dream.’’ Singular name, but they were sin gular men—dirawny, rough, grizzled, and some of them wicked. The were men from the East, digging, delving, in a sort of mad frenzy, for the golden wealth of California. On this day all work had ceased. The men formed in a circle on the grass, and in the centre was Jack Bullet. Ilis hands were tied behind him, there was an old -Blood-stain on his tace, and from his wolfish eyes he sent murderous glances from one face , to another, and at last called out: “I wish I had knifed some of ye!” None of the men replied. Seme without a word, nor did ho look back as long as he was in view. When he had disappeared from sight the mi ners returned to their work, each one so busy with his thoughts that but few words were spoken. That day two weeks a man carafe up from “ Cardboard City ” and. re ported that Jack Bullet had been eaten up by a grizzly. Every man in camp felt glad then that his town had escaped the disgrace of a hang ing; aud in the afternoon he saw Elder Graves shoulder a spade and turn down into a little valley. It was a beautiful spot, always full of the mellowest sunshine and the pret tiest flowers. When the boys had knocked off work for the day, they all descended into the place, tor what reason no one knew, but by a sort of common con sent. In the centre of the valley the earth had been heaped up like a grave. At its head was a board—at its foot a wild rose. On the board Elder Graves had cut out with his kuife: JACK BULLET, AGED FORTY.. Mau may not have given him a chance, BUT GOD WILL. You wouldn’t- thipk those rough men had a sentiment in their hearts, but they saw through the elder’s mo tives in an instant, and the roughest man in the lot stooped down and carefully rearranged one of the sods. ; . Three weeks more went by, and one evening Jack Bullet came into Joe White’s Dream alive and well He stood on the little square iu the centre of the town, and he said not a word till the wondering men had gathered about him. Then he poin ted to the grave iu the valley, hi#eyes . THE NEW YORK WEEKLY HEEALD, JAMES UOUDO\ IIKX.NETT.

Here is the rope —there is the limb—and we are gathered to hang you. You came to Joe White’s Dream weeks ago, poor, hungry and ill," We fed and nursed you, and when you were well enough to work, a full claim was asked out of you. IIow have you repaid us, Jack Bullet? Yon have stolen dust from the men, brought concords aud jealousies among us, incited rows and riots, and last night you were detected when about to murder your partner and steal his few hundred dollars. We try to be white in this camp, and to use all men right, hut we cannot turn you loose to prey upon some other party. The men are going to hang yon.’’ “ Let ’em hang—I can’t die but once,” sulkily replied the prisoner. “ Jack Bullet,” said the elder, “ I am a praying man, and I want to pray with you before you swing, I am sorry for you. You are a strong man, and you are to die like a dog! Maybe you have a mother in the East or you may havo “a wife and children. God help them !” Tho elder sank down on Ills knees before the prisoner, and prayed such a. prayer as the rocks have .never echoed again. Before lie had fin ished there were tears in tho eyes of half tho men, and Big Sam went over to Curly Jim and whispered! “ Now that’s, what I call rcligium —the real old hang-np rcligium, sich as wo used to git way back iu New Hampshire!’’ When that prayer bad ended a new spirit came to the men. They scanned Jack Bullet’s face and saw that ho had softened, and as Elder Graves stepped aside the president of tho camp cut Jack’s bonds, and stud: “ Wo don’t want your blood, though you sought ours. Yon are free to go, Jack Ballet, but don’t you ever enter Joe White’s Dream again. - The reprieved man moved away said: “ Boys, I sneaked back here this momiu’ to kill some one in revenge, but I cum across that—that grave down—down thar, and—and—■*» He held out his hands to the men, and the tears blinded him so he could not see a face. Elder Graves went down on his-knees again, every man with him, and there were more tears, and a prayer so beautiful, and tender, and true, that Jack Bullet sobbed like a child. His heart was broken, and all the Satan in his na ture was driven out in a moment. Joe White’s Dream was a mining camp for many mouths after that, and Jack Bullet was one of the best men in it. The headboard grew gray as the rain heat down and the sun shone, and the' wild rose grew until it covered the grave, but no one disturbed a sod. The grave was a sign—a beacon-light, as it were —and perhaps miners were right when they said of our town: “ They’ve had a revival up thar, an’ they arc the host chaps an’ the hardest workers on th^ slope.” * L.,t 1 *> i’ • Top or no top Buffett-* ami Spring Wagons All kiiyls of vehicle* repaired at short notice’ f minting and trimming done vin tlie best and atcAt Mylea.
