THE SUNSET THRUSH*
I* it. a dream? The day is done—
The long, warm, fragrant, muumor day*
Afar beyond tlio hills the sun
In purple splendor sinks away;
The rows stand wnitiuc; by tho bars;
The firefly lights her floating spark,
While here and there tho first, largo Btars
Lookout, impatient for tho dark;
A group of children saunter slow
Toward home, with laugh and sportivo
word,
One pausing, as she hoars too low
Clear prelude of au unsoon bird—
“Sweet—sweet—sweet—
Sorrowful—sorrow fill—son'oufuU"
A' 1 * h.stl that sudden tnUsid gfish
-Makes all the hoeCUuning woodland still—
11 is the Vesper of tho thrush —
Ahd nil tho child's quick pulses thrill.
Forgotten in tier heedless hand
Tho bal -dllod borry^basket. swings;
TV hat cares she tlmt tlio merry band
V:\ss on and leave her there! IIo slugs I
Sings as a Seraph, shut from heaven
And vniulv seeking ingress there,
Might pour upon tho listening oven
Ilis love, and longing, and despair—
*'Sweet—sweet—sweet—
Sorrowful—sorrowful—sorrowful
Deep in tho wood, whoso giant pines
Tower dark against the western sky,
While sunset's last faint crimson shines,
Ho trills his marvelous ecstasy;
With soul and sense entranced, she hoars
The wondrous pathos of his strain,
TVhilo from her eyes unconscious tears
Fall softly, born of ten lorest pain.
What cares tho rapt and dreaming child
That duskier shadows gather rouui?
She only feels that flood or wild
Melodious, melancholy sound —
"Sweet—sweet—sweet—
Sorro wfu l —sorro wful—so rrowfulP )
Down from immeasurable heights
Tho clear notes drop like crystal rain,
The echo of all lost delights,
All youth’s high hopes, all hidden pain,
All love’s soft music, heard no more,
But dreamed of and remembered long-—
Ah, how can mortal bird outpour
Huch human heart-break in a son ;?
What can ho know of lonely years,
Of idols only raised to fall,
Of broken faith, and secret tears?
And yet his strain repeats them all—
"Sweet—sweet—sweet—
Sorrowful—sorrowful—sorrowful?'
Ah, still amid Maine’s darkling pines,
Lofty, mysterious, romote,
While sunset’s last faiut crimson shines,
Tho thrush’s resonant echoes float;
And she, the child of long ago,
Who listened till the west grew gray,
Has learned, in later days, to know
The mystic meaniug of his lay;
And often still, in waking dreams
Of youth’s lost summor-times, she hears
Again that thrilling soug, which soems
Tho voice of dead and buried years—

had gone out of tho clay. They opened I
the door to lot in tho growing coolness
outside, watching for ‘ml’ pap's” dust
meantime, and wondering what news ho
would bring, lie was Into; but he had
been Into btofofot They sat on tho door-
6t»p and glued their eyes to the iVottih iti
tho butte, which h&u begun to blur as
the fiVid had gono to make au oven of
some other part of the world.
There ho comes,” ’Lisli would say;
but it was only a dust demon trying to
trick them.
And so tho night grew on; but tho
full horn of an rally moon shown down;
and still they watched.
Guess I’d better go over an’ sco ef I
kain’t raise him,” said ’Lish. 41 Ail bf
lie’s a«goin* to stay out all night; he’ll
need a blanket. I’ll take him one, an’
cofiib back with tho news, whatever it is.
Git the blanket, out, maw, an’ I’ll $o ail’
buckle tho sheepskin onto 01’ Jim.”
Tho desert night told its secrets to tho
girl as she rode tho slow mustang over
the trail t.o the buttes. And tiio doso.it
night holds many secrets for those who
oaro to hear them; but it. did not 'Vim-
pet* the darkest of them to ’Lisli that
night. The air came warm aud then
chill, as she passed through the different
strata that were from low, hot pin in or
frigid mountain-top. Old Jim was so
slow. lie. minded no more the flicks
from the strap-cml than ho did the brush
ing of tho greasowood past his lean form.
Ho did make a plunge now and then;
but that was* when a oactus-spiuo pricked
his side.
At last tho girl readied tho canon,
which seemed to bo done in black and
white, so light did tho moon make tho
exposed parts, and so inky were the
shadows, It was frightfully quiet in
there. As she went along, she heard
the whinny of her father’s horse, tethered
beside the wall of rock. She loft Old
Jim to munch the mosquito near by,
while she tripped up a steep trail, and
came to tho gash her father had made
with pick aud shovel in tho lone canon-
side.
There lie was, sitting on the ground
and leaning against a rock. The moon
Blione upon Ills patched overalls and upon
his dusty shirt; but she could not see his
face, for his head was bent forward and
was hidden by tho brim of hUslpuch hat.
“Pap,” her sharp voice stabbed the
quiet, “I caino up ter see ef you was
ever coinin’ home. I lining a blanket,
pap, case yer wanted to ;Way all night.
You ouglitcr ’a’ come heme hours aud
hours ago, ’stead o’ workin' an’ workin’

Ho did not lift his head. A puff of
cold wind camo down, the the canon,
and, striking tho girl’s' brest, made her
shiver.

scratched its un-

tho wind blew hard.
But it was not blow
ing at all now, and
f x r i. [ijri ( the Fame heat that
throbbed over the
't ’ 'desert and warped
the sky-line was curling tho shakes atop
the shack nnd sending every breathing
thing on Alkali Plat, even to tho lizards,
into the shade.
There were just three rooms in tho
shack, and ’Dish’s was tho end one, next
to tho kitchen. The little house was
closed as tight as a drum to keep iu
whatever of the night's coolness re
mained in it, which was little enough.
’Lish—the whole of it was Alicia—sat
in her room, and talked with her
mother, who was peeling potatoes iu the
kitchen. Although in separate rooms,
their sharp, Missourian voices were clear
enough to each other. There was just
one thing to- talk about, and nearly
everything on earth that could be said
about it had been said, so they had been
going over it all again. It was pap’s
big strike.
“It ain't dead sure, ye know, ’Lish,”
wound up the mother; “but it looks as
near like it us one jack-rabbit looks like
ernothcr.”
“01’ pap’s workin’ awful hard, ain’t
he, maw?”
“I reckon he is.”
’Lish looked out through tho small
window. Her glance shot past the two
rails that glimmered under the angry
sun, down there try Alkali Plat Station,
past the two scurrying dust demons that
showed there was air in motion some
where, evou though sporadically, and
awHy over to tho bluo buttes.
There wn.s a notch in the tar butte—
Scrub Canon, they called it. Pap was
working there in that notch, under that
awful sun, in the restless way that pap
always worked. He was thcro alone,
digging his pick into the dry ground
and scanning each clod and broken rock
for tho yellow specks that meant so
much to him, and that were to put
something uetter than a shuko roof over
their heads.
She felt for him that horrible heat; she
saw the drops of sweat trickle from his
brow and plash upon tho rocks, making
their dark mark there for au instant and

good ol’ guzzlin’ time, all by >yors'clf,
an’ not carin’ a cuss. It's playin’ us

She shook his shoulder again. Ills
head fell hack. The nice waa ehulky
white.
“Cod, pap I Wlmt is it?”
She felt his face. It was stono cold.
The touch froze her. She felt his heart.
Tho throb •wus gone out, of it.
“Pup, pup I” and all Uiu canon heard
her sharp, desolate cry; “my ol’ pap!
Ho ainldead?"
A big lizard went scutteiingdown tho
slope, an owl in a scrub-oak near by
gave a dismnt hoot, and tho coyotes set
up their throaty howls.
She gulped and gasped. Her breath
seemed cut off. She would have fallen
at his side, but tbat tier ear caught the
coyotes' howls and caught, too, their
horrible meaning. Shu stayed herself
by her two hands against the rock and
tried to got her breath. The coyotes
howled again, in awful chorus, and she
shuddered.
“They shan’t get you, pap; they shan’t
get you. I'll take you home.”
Iter breath name free as she spoke.
She grasped the dead man’s shoulders,
aud, keeping ns much of his body from
the ground ns she could, she draggo l
him down the rocky trail, toward the
spot where tho horses were tethered.
She winced when she hoard his boot-
heels scratch the ground, but she pul led
and tugged with all her might, and,
panting, she laid his form near Old Jim,
who snorted and jumped and pricked up
his ears. Then, with a glance backwark
from time to time, she went to her
father’s little camp, took his axe, and
cut two poles, with which she made a
“dust-trailer,” the poles being hound to
Old Jim’s sides like shafts, with pieces
of strap and bale-rope. She lifted the
body again, to put it op the rude con
veyance. The moon struck it full this
time, and, as she rolled it over gently
upon the trailer, she saw a big clot of
blood on the hack of tho dark shirt, nnd
by it was a clean-cut lmllot-holo. With
a shudder, she lot tho body fall. Then
she looked at her hands. There was
blood upon alretu uud upon the sleeve of
her dress.
“Claim-jumpers!”
She set her teeth hard when she thrust
forth the words, uud clenched her hand
otes followed her, and almost rent tier
heart bf their howls, but sho kept on,
and before midnight tho sad little pro
cession reached the cabin. The mother
was still up, and sho ran to the door
when she heard the stuntd of tho hoofs,
“Is that you, ’Lish?” she called oilt;
“Did ye bring pap home? Is it a dead-
sure strike?"
’Lish slid from tier horso and ran to
tho door.
“Maw, Maw, Maw I" was her cry.
“Maw, they’ve killed Him I Thoy’va

It was a month after they had laid tho
old mad iu the whito earth, nnd tho
wind was whispering ihroUgh the sage
brush nnd scattering its gray loaves on
his grave.
’Lish was up in tho canon, behind tho
very rock where she had found her dead
father. Thu canon draught was grate
ful to her after the hard ride over tiro
heated plain. Sire draak in long
breaths of it, but all the time her eye
was on the hole where her father had
made thp ond great strike of his life uud
bad died for it.
“Strnngo lie novel' comes 'roiin'—that
creasy-faced Jose Garcia, ’'l’wns him
that did it. P'raps he’s waitin’ fer us
to movo away, lie’ll wait a long time
—till lie’s dead."
8liu let her glanoo fall for an instant
to tho something that glonuod along tho
top of the rook, That something was
tire barrel of lief father’s rillu. The
Wind rustled a snake skin on tho rock nt
her side, and a “swift” darted into the
Shade aud looked nt her with unwinking
eyes.
Then a dark, squat tlgure stolo out of
the canon depths and up to tho mine.
The girl did not start, but a smilo passed
her lips. Tho figure moved about as
silently as a shadow. It turned a swart
face toward tiro spot whore sho lay Hid,
hut there was more of interest for it in
the hole in the canon sido than for aught
else, aud on this tlies eyes were bent.
By moving the muzzle of the rille two
inches along tho top of tho rook, it cov
ered the liap of tiro pocket in tho loft
breast of the blue flannel shirt.
“Farther than 1 thought for,” the girl
said to Herself—“nearly a hundred and
llfty yards. Tho middle sight’s tho best."
She squinted through the pin-point
hole, and lowering the muzzle the small
est fraction of au inch, sho smiled as the
small round dot of light rested on the
very centre of the pocket-flap. At that
instant a dark shadow mado an inky
patch on the scarp near her, and looking
up she saw a big buzzard wheotiug iu tho
air, Sho smiled again, aud hugged the
rille butt, which fitted closely against
her /(boulder. Her right hand went for
ward a little. Her slender forollnger,
held straight, smoothed the black trig
ger lightly, almost lovingly. The man
straightened up a little. Tho finger
crooked, thcro was a sharp crack, and
tho man fell upon his face.
Then siie pressed homo another car
tridge and clambered up the rook, rifle
in hand. Shu icanod over tho body. It
was 'motionless.
“You oughter ’a been shot in tljt
buck, too,” she said, grimly; “bpt'LUh
aiu’t no greaser.” ’* .
She moved dway, with light stop, hug
ging the rifle under her nrm. And the

Gossip About Ten.
“Americans mo not tea dtinkorj.
What they drink is Japan tea, which,
in my opinion, is poor and tasteless. So-
called ‘English breakfast tea’ is a brew
which an Englishman is compelled to
come to the United States to taste for the
first time in his life.
“Tho appointnnnt of ‘tea taster' was
much sought after in the old days. After
paying a premium of 92500 iu London
onu was taught tho business in a three-
years’ apprenticeship in Mincing Lane
ami then sent out to a tea firm in China.
Then came another year's local appren
ticeship before being made a regular
buyer. Salaries ran from 9150 to 9500
a month, with handsome quarters aud
sumptuous board.
“ l’iio tea is sampled from ‘muster
cans.’ We examine the dry leaf for ap
pearance and weight. Then the tea is
fused and tasted, Just a sharp sip nnd
spit, never a swallow. The touch of tho
liquid on the palate is sufficient. to get
the taste and aroma. After that the wet
leaf is examined and scented. That is
tiio time to delect foreign ibstancos
and adulterations which are impossible
to detect in tiro dry state ol tire leaf. I
liavo tasted as many ns 500 samples in a
morning, sometimes 1000 tastes a day.
“The proper way of malting tea?
There is only ono correct rule, all fauey
faddists notwithstanding. That is tho
professional rule and applies to all anil
every kind of tea. The proportion
should be ‘ono light teaspoonful for each
person and one for tiio pot.’ Tho water
should be poured on the loaf boiling—
boiling, mark you, not merely very not.
It should then stand for five minutes ex
actly, not a second more or less, and
your tea is ready. We use sand glasses
in tile trade to liit the exact moment to
pour off tho tea from tiio leaves, which
then rapidly commence to givo tuuniu.”

Tho way in wliich tho name “bureau”
became applied to articles of furniture
intended for literary purposes is rather
curious, ft was the custom in tho days
when writing was done on parchment
and when bookbinding was an expensive
luxury for those wiio were connected
with literary pursuits to have on their
tables a piece of cloth, of a thick nature,
to prevent the bookbinding receiving any
injury. This piece of textile fubrio,
originally of wool, bore in Franco the

have I go'?” And they said, ‘Foit.v millions
of francs ’ ‘That is tig lit,’said he. ‘and thoic
are 40,000,000 people in Fiance.' Th n li-
threw time francs < n the count* r and said,
‘hero arc* yon h—tell tl.o rest to come and get
theirs.’ They took them sheepishly and went
out. Now nobody over stops to talk to those
robbers or to reason wi h them, but they be-
« come paralyzed and Burrcii-let*. I would like to
meet them and try n few broi.en remarks upon
them. They tiro do poi'ate fellows, no doubt,
but they uro men I ke we aro and have their
good points. Jesse JurmH was no brute; ho
had some chivalry about him and if be hud bud
a fair chance w< nil hav«* made u splendid citi

Grady had great admiration for heroism of
any kind, whether it was hi William Toll or a
nowHhoy—whether in a general or a pugilist or
mi outlaw. How oag riy he u ed to listen to
the story of Fori'eat with his 800 men following

Um near U >mo and demanding Ills surrender
