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 crat. 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. 167 DOZEN - U Man’s, Boys’ and Children’s Straw Hats AT HfHOLEBALR AKD RETAIL.
