When I wish to hurl an epithet of
withering contempt at ft man laughed
bhy 1 ah til call him a misogynist
That night Nolly stolo away front
among lho dancers and entered the
ioncrals little parlor filled with tho
sweotshalincssof tho summer otonlng
riicro wcro two clgara that shono liko
red stars and tho old man and tho
Colonel wcro telling campaigning
stories fighting their battles over
ngaln lho deep sonorous volco ot
the Colonel wont on stoadily fur half
an hour Ho used tho best and tersest
1 nglish and lho picture ho drow was
graphlo mid spirited It was an ac-
count of a very daring exploit in which
ho had taken the principal part but in
tho recital ho kept himself out of sight
Thero was a slight rustle of soft
draperies from tho sofa
Why 1uss said tho Goncrai is
that you I thought you wero dancing
yourfectoff
I did not caro about dancing to-
night said Nolly ns sho came slowly
forward
llrlng me tho candlo child Ho
bad not spoken to her so kindly for
weeks
Nellj brought tho candle and as sho
wciVasColoncl tutned his back and
< out of tho window Sho was ail
white and there was a bunch of for
getmo nots In tho bosom of her dress
Sho put up her faco to be klscd Ilka a
petted and spoiled child
Lovo menlittlo tonight Uncle
she whispered I am as bluo as I can
be The old man could not help kiss-
ing her fondly and stroking her hair
and its ho did so tho little bunch of for
getmenots fell oul When Nelly had
left tho room the Colonel picked them
up unseen and put them somewhero
Inside his coat
Ioor Nolly a fair weathor did not last
long The next afternoon the old Gen
cral sent for her li a towering rage
his face looking quito apoplectic
Sit down thoro ho said pointing
to a chair opposite and Nelly oboyod
bat Is this I hear about your bolng
engaged to that idiotic young Del

And you doiit know eried the old
General that he Is brainless fooUnd
an unprincipled knavo His father ts ft
frightened by threats I havo tho blood
of the Mortimers in my veins nndsho
swept proudly out of tho room
Nolly carried her sun hat in her hand
it pretty broad brimmed Irfghorn
trliniuod wilh trailing vinos Drj ejed
and palf with her small mouth set in a
rigid line sho walked swlftlj down tho
path that led lo tho laurel wood but
sho had no more than reached the shade
wlicnjoung Detmold sprang into tho
path beforo her
Oh Nellj dearest Nelly ho be

Sho ran from him abruptly and dash-

farther deeper and deopc losing

It was late tn tho afternoon lho sun

Virginia City Nov has sixteen faro
games all situated In C Street at the
rear of principal saloons The propri-
etor of one of the most flourishing faro
banks says that tho oxpenscs of running
too games exclusive of license foot up
at 827100 n year rrom the first to
tho fifteenth of tho month tho timo at
which tho miners aro Hush most of the
games run threo shifts of eight hours
each thus employing six dealers and
threo case keepers After tho middle
of tho month tho business slackens and
only one or two of tho games runs moro
than two shifts Everybantpayayear
y license of 81000 making tno com
fortablo total of JS400
A popular delusion prevails that faro
Is conducted on tho square In Vir
ginia Tho fact that tho owners ot
the games lire as a general thing la
about as handsome houses as can be
seen In tho city and that they aro
themsches behind fast horses In C
Street counts for nothing with the
gambling Comstockcr who invariably
has his system nearly perfected
and Is suro to bust tho game before

umph Is occasionally achloved Within
tbe lost six months no less than four
games have been cleaned out They
wcro however comparatively poverty
stricken concerns having only 2000
r 83000 capital Most ot tha banks
now running havo a backing of from
50000 to 100000 and oneinstltutlon
has 190000 ns a foundation
