•‘Can yon save him, doctor?
"I’ll lie hanged if I know.
Win gome Lillian McGuire looked
n,, with her rare blue eyes full of tears
im„ the fnce of the young physician,
wlio hud been summoned in hot haste
fr.mi the restful quiet of a poker game
t.. the palatial residence of Stuyves-
siint McGuire, in order that his skill
aud knowledge—the fruit of years of
study and toil—might, if possible,
bring hack to health the gray-h^irpJf
old iuiiu who now lay tossing in mor
tal agony.
Lillian McGuire hnd known Aris
tides W. Hennessey since the days
when they were both little children
together, nnd not six months before
she bad stood before him in all her
regal beauty, her velvety eyes draped
with tears, and while the soft pearly
Dealt of her beantifal arms touched his
neck with a pulsing warmth that
would make your head swim, had said
she could never love him except as a
brother.
As Aristides had three sisters and
had passed the greater portion of his
life sparing with them, this nnswer
ltd not strike him favorably, and he
went away with a dull, dend feeling
in Ins young, blithesome heart, and a
large chunk of plug tobacco in his
merry spring pants.
And now be was bock again in that
house—that honse from which he bad
erstwhile so often stolen silently and
sadly away when the proprietor was
nr' speetedly found at home, nhd
winch he had left, as be supposed, for
good, in the balmy days of June,
when the sweet-scented breath of ear
ly summer was kissing into life the
myriad forms of floral beauty that lie
wr b such silent sweetness upon the
verdure-clad bosom of the earth.
These thoughts had surged through
hi- mind as he mounted the frout
steps in obedience to the hasty sum
mons of a liveried servant.
Ho saw the old familiar door-mat
with the word “Welcome” wonted in
its centre—that fateful word that had
gleamed up at him in all its lurid dis
tinctness and mockery one night when
old Mr. McGuiro opened the door in
respouso to Aristide’s timid yank at
the hell, and said in the cold, County
Antrim tones ho knew so well how to
ii-o, that Miss Lillian was not home
and would not ho sov. n or eight
years.
In the hall stood the hat rock be
side whoso fragrant frame with its
spoctre-liko arms he had so often lin
gered in tho mellow half-light of
tnrued-down gas, with Lillian’s bend
resting trustingly above bis liver pad
aud her coraline corset pulsing gently
against his suspender.
All these scenes came buck to him
with vivid distinctness, ns ho stood by
tho bedside of the sick mini, and
looked tenderly down ut Lillian, who,
with pale face aud rumpled hang, had
knelt by her father’s side and buried
her nose in the pillow w hich support
ed his head.
Presently sho looked up at Aris
tides with a weary, yearning, St. Lou
is look that would have melted Charles
Francis Adams.
The young man bent quickly for
ward.
“Lillian, my love,” he said, “can it
be possible that—’’
"Kneel by my side,” said the girl,
in tender porter-house steak tones
that thrilled his very blood.
Unmindful of the hngginess in the
knees of Ills pan - that such action
would certainly produce, iinniindfiil
of ewi thing bn: the fact that lie loved
Lill ian McGuire with a wild pns-iou-
ate, Deurlxirii :.v.-iiue love, that recked j
not of Iimtiuec tickets or iei-ci»utn, |
Al l-tides klielt hv the girl’s sioc, ;,nd .
placing bis strong right aim around
her taper wii;-l, lie kissed her lender- j
ly just ahull .u-r starboard ear.
It wasn't i very easy job to lattle^
this young i i hi.
“Do yon still love,me, Aristides," said
Lillian, making a bluff ti blush as she
spoke.
“V u know I do," wa- ihe reply, |
"and that I would ri-k m\ ery ex- 1
gain your any m reiuru.
The girl smiled a glad six-button
smile.
“I believe you,” said she, “nnd I
will tell you now—here in the pres
ence of BicknesB, perhaps death—that
if you save my father’s life, my dar
ling, idolized, sour-mash papa, I will
marry yon ere the croons sprouts.”'
"Enough,” replied Aristides, rising
to bis feet, “your father shall be saved.
I aware it by my balidorn. I don’t
know what balidorn means, and like
as not I haven't got one, but I swear
it all the same. Bring me A bottle of
Biordan’s Beady Belief.”
The medicine was brought nnd the
sick man quaffed it Two minutes
later he was well.
“You have saved him, ray darling!”
said Lillian, kissing Aristides foudly,
“and I will redeem my promise. But
tell me, sweetie, what ailed the old
man ?”
“Colic,” was the reply, and with a
wild and mocking laugh, Aristides
fled into the darkness.
The Deifll’e Tramping Ground.
Oulf letter In the Wilmington (W. 0.) star.
Io this county, about three miles
from the Randolph line, is a place
that has been known to the oldest in
habitant nnd his grandparents as the
“Devil’s Trumping Ground.” Situat
ed in the woods nnd surrounded by
giant trees, principally red-oak and
short-leaf pines, is a circle about
twenty-five feet in diameter, as perfect
as though drawn with a compass, the
circle being marked by a path as clean
us though used every day;'-through
the centre another path, equally ns
clean, about one degree to tho east of
north of south; no paths to and from
and none except cow-paths in the
neighborhood. The soil of the coun
try is red clay, thickly strewn with
rocks, and no grass, except short
scrub blades that struggle rather un
successfully for existence. The soil
within the circle is sand, mixed with
day, aud covered with a thick growth
of long wire glass (not another hunch
of which grows within eight miles of
the place), and which never crosses
the path that marks the circle, aud
though large trees have grown and
rotted to the ground at.' the edge of
the plat, lint "lie has ven’nred to in
trude within the ling. The natives
have all of them a super.-litious dread
of the place, and it was with difficulty
I succeeded in getting one of them to
visit the plnee with me for tho pur
pose of digging into it, and after get
ting down at mat three Toet aud find
ing nothing, ho was so impressed with
the supernatural origin that he refused
to go any further.
Georgia Gold .Hilling.
liallroa.l Ilecord.
A movement is on foot to establish
a government assay office at Dnhlon-
ega, Gn. T’p to the war there was a
branch mint at Daldoucga, ami the
records show that over twenty millions
of bullions passed through it.
Georgia has seventy odd gold mills
at work. One is giving a monthly
product of about $7,500. From a care
ful looking over, no good reason can
be given why this belt will, not pro
duce $300,000 per month this season,
and prepared with sufficient machin
ery, by January next, to produce
$500,000 monthly for the year 1883.
