An Old Proapastor Tell, of nn Affecting
Separation Between Man and Wife.
“Orar tho Range’- fenm a Minor's Cabin
In North Park.
“I noticed a few weeks ago fa your
paper a description of lonely graves in
the mountains of Colorado,'1 remarked
a gentleman to the writer Monday. “At
the time I read it I was traveling in tho
southern portion pf the state; and it re
called to mind two lonely grave* that I
know of which lie hidden fa the recesses
of tlie mountains fa Routt comity. Of
course, there Is a history attached to
them, and if you have time I will spin
the yarn.”
Reing informed by the scribe that he
always had time to listen to n good story,
the gentleman snid:
“In the year 13721 was prospecting in
the neighborhood of Mans’ Peak and the
Rabbit Ear range, and at that time very
little was known of tho rich silver veins
which traversed that portion of tlie state.
There were other prospectors in llie coun
try and the few of us felt elated over 11m
finding of several leads that contained
gray copper, and wc went to work willi
a will to open llm veins up. You.huve
no idea of the ninny difficulties that one
has to contend with in a new country
and the privations one hastosulfi-r. Hut
the excitement attending tlie iifu of a
prospector that some day lie will strike
it and be recompensed for all his trouble
buoys him up, and lie endures all hard
ships and privations with good grace.
The country at that time was well
stocked witli game, and wo never had
any difficulty in procuring all tho fresh
meat that was needed. I had built a
rude cabin at the head of a small gulch
and not far from my claims. It was a
lovely spot, with groves of quaking as
pen trees surrounding the cabin, and
about fifty yards from the door stood
two majestic pines that I named tlie
sentinels. ■
THE TWO VISITORS.
“One day when I rcturnd from work
I found two strangers, man and wife,
had taken possession of my house, and
was a little astonished nt first to see a
woman in that part of tho country.
They asked permission to remain there a
few days, and it was readily granted.
I was indeed glad to see strange faces,
and welcomed them to my humble
abode; From the very first I noticed
that the woman was not strong, and
this aroused my curiosity, as I could not
figure out why a woman in delicate
health should bo in such a wild part of
the country. Shehad been a very pretty
woman once, bat consumption, the mal
ady from which she was suffering, had
robbed her of most of her beauty. She
had a sweet tofapSr, that won for her
friends wherever she went. She was
also perfectly resigned to tho inevitable,
and knew that her pilgrimage on earth
was abort. Rut she, bore up with tlie
greatest fortftud
“They had been at the cabin about a
week, and everything about it had been
changed. Alice—that was tho woman'*
name—had remodeled the placo, and all
things showed the touch of a woman's
band. Well, one evening after supper
we were' sitting in front of tlie cabin,
enjoying tlie beauties of an August even
ing, when the husband, Alfred, told mo
what brought him to that section of
Colorado. His story was brief. Ho
stated that after being married in tlie
east'for two years, his wife had shown
unmistakable signs of consumption, and
the doctors had advised him to take lier
to California, and, if posrible to go across
the plains by wagon, as he would find
that journeying that way she would gain
strength. They found a party of emi
grants at a small town fa Nebraska, who
were going to the coast and engaged
their passage. For the first week out
Alice gained strength, hut one evening
she caught cold and this malady in
creased with awful rapidity. When
Laramie City was reached she could go
do farther and the trip hod to be aban
doned. At that town they were ad
vised to go into the mountains, os tlie
fresh air ladened with the perfume of
pine was beneficial to consumptives. A
wagon was procured that took them to
North Park, and by easy stages on horse
back they had reached my cabin. It
wo* by tho merest chance that they
friutul it, and I was glad they did.
THE LAST FAREWELL.
“A month passed, tho happiest in my
life, but I Baw that gradually Alico was
sinking, and that she would never leave
tho gulch. Her husband noticed the
change and was unconsolablc. Ho ad
ministered to her every want, which were
not many, and realized what an awful
change it would ho when slio was taken
from him. One night tho end came. She
colled me into the littlo room that I had
partitioned off for their use, and in a
feeble voice thanked me for all my kind
ness to her, and hoped that when my time
came to cross tho mysterious rii er that
she would meet mo in tliut land where
jorrow is unknown. She told Alfred it
was bard to leave him. hut that bo must
be strung and bear the affliction that a
wise master bad fa his just wisdom sent
him to carry, and that ail things were
done for the best. It was a scene the like
of which I wish never to witness again,
the feeble girl, full of hope for the future,
bidding good-by to the man she loved,
and the strong, powerful roan, bowed
down with grief at the thought of losing
her who was tho only tie which bound
kim to this world. The end camel with
her head pillowed on the breast of her
protector, her spirit winged its flight to
eternal rest Underneath on* of the pine
trees we laid her, and carved her name
and the date of her death on its trunk.
“Alfred was broken hearted, and wan
dered about the hills like one lost Ho
had no purpose in life, so I used to ask
him to do the chores about the place to
engage his mind with something. One
day I asked him to go out and kill a deer,
as we were out of meat. Whether lie
oeuamitted suicide or whether the gun
was accidentally disci
know, hut I found him the following
day, about two miles from the cabin,
with a bullet through his brain. Ths
gun could have been accidentally dis
charged. as I found tlie body in a smalt
thicket of willows, and while passing
through ft, tlie hammer might iiave
caught on a twig, and so discharged the
gun.
“I got assistance and carried him to
tlie cabin, and he was buried alongside of
his beloved wife, at the foot of the other
pine tree, and today tlie placo is known
us ‘Lonely Gulch.’
“After tlie tragic death of Alfred, 1
could remain no longer in the place, so
I left. I returned to it a few years ago,
and looked upon the two lonely graves
and thought of tlie few happy days that
the three of us spent there in the August
of 1372. Ity reading tlie article on lonely
graves, I thought the first time I came
to Lendville tliat I would tell you the
story alxiut tlie two graves in ‘Lonely
Gulch.' Few people know tlie history
of those tliut lie sleeping in that little
ravine in , Routt county. Now you
know it, nnd it will, in a measure, clear
up any mystery that muy Iiave been
woven around them by those who may
have l>ap)iencd to stumble against them.’’
Thanking tlie gentleman for Ids kind
ness, tlie scrilio left, meditating over the
uncertainties of life.—Lcadvillc Demo

Speed of Elevators.
Myron II. Trapp made u fortune in ele
vators, and lias long since retired from
active work. On Broadway, in one of
the big office buildings, I met him, and
tlie talk naturally drifted toward the sub
ject upon which lie loves to descant.
“I have Just been having a long con
sultation with several architects, build
ers and contrac'tors,” said he, “about the
advisability of having some legislation
passed which would limit tlie speed of
passenger elevators. Tlie fact is that in
many of the big office buildings in New
York, ns well os in other cities, com
plaints aro coming quick and often about
what is called tho terribly dangerous
speed with which the elevators are run.
A few years ago 200 feet a minute was
considered very rapid traveling up or
down on tlie elevator in a building. This
was before tlie twelve to fifteen story
structures became tlie fashion fa the
large cities. Witli their advent the archi
tects vied with each other in attempts to
arrange tilings that the elevator! could
bo run at almost any desirable speed,
and finally tlie competition of builders
and exports drovo tlie speed onward until
U in some cases reached 000 feet a min
ute.
“Everything considered, however,
there is not much actual danger fa a
modern swiftly running elevator. Tlie
elevators in this country carry raoro pas
sengers every day than the railroads do,
yet you very seldom hear of a serious ac
cident on any first class- elavator. The
degree of safety attained upon thorn these
late days is really something marvelous.
What the public ought to know is thia:
Whenev«v anything happens to an ele
vator upon which passengers -are being
carried and the machinery seems to be
deranged, never try to get off. Keep
cool and remain still antil the car reaches
the end of its journey. Then it will stop
of its own accord.’’—New York Star.
Strict Economy.
Science brings about economy, and fa
these days of varied manufactures, and
perfect facilities for carrying them on,
there is very littlo waste material in any
branch of trade. Tho Sunday Call fa de
scribing tho slaughter of cattle at New
ark, N. J., says that no part of a steer
is lost save its dying breath.
Nothing is wasted from the tip of the
tongue to the brush on ths end of the
tall. Tlie blood is caught and sold to
make albumen for sugar refineries and
other manufactures, or to form a cheap
substitute for the bard rubber and other
plastio material used fa the manufacture
of buttons. When the meat is dressed
the contents of the stomach are removed,
dried and baled as manure, and the stom
ach itself is prepared as tripe.
Tlie hido goes to tbs tanner, the head
is skinned and denuded Of flesh for the
sausage maker, tho horns go to the
comb maker, who knocks out the pith
and sells it to the gluo manufacturer,
who is ever ready to take all the refuse
from any port of the steer. The horny
coverings of the hoofe are almost as use
ful as horn for making buttons and sim
ilar articles, and tho feet can be used for
oil and glue.
The shinbones make the finest of bone
handles, and all the rest of the bony
structure, which tho butcher is unable
to sell witli tho meat, finds its way event
ually to tho manufacturer of bone fertil
izer and kono black.
A few of the tails arc utilized, in cold
weather, in tlie manufacture of oxtail
soup, hut usually “tlie toil goes with the
hid,” and becomes spoiled for domestic
use while lying about in tho tannery.
Every scrap of tho animal's skin, even
the pate, us the skin of tho head is called,
is used, in one way or another, and tho
refuse of the tanneries becomes an im
portant part of the incomo of those
establishments.
