"LOVE IN SLEEPY CAMP."
BY JACK BATON.
It was too hot for work in "Sleepy Camp" o nearly all the men had given it up for the day and funged into Zeb's saloon to have a smoke and a drink.
Though it was getting wall on in the after noon the sun was still blazing hot and there wasn't a breath of air to move the red dust. In a little shanty, hot far from the saloon, sat two young diggers, both tall; well-built men, but one hanilsome, the other ugly-bsence their nicknames, Bob the Beauty and Ugly Sam. Sam sat in the corner of the window, through which could be faintly heard the laughing and singing Zeb's, Bob sat on the table swing ing his legs,
"It's a treat to git out o' that scurchin' sun,” said Ugly, pulling a pipe out of his pocket and knocking the ash the fluor.
"Yes," agreed the Beatty, stretching his arms and yawning fearfully,
We've had a grand day, haven't we, Beauty?" asked Sam, striking a match on his
boot.
"Yes," answered Bob, shutting his big mouth with a snap.
"You seem to take it awful quiet--you don' seem to grasp that we-we two pards--have found the biggest nugget ever dug up in
Sleepy Camp
"Oh, yes, I do." replied Roba, kicking so hard at the table leg that it seemed more than likely the rickety old thing would give way.
"Let's have another look at it!
So saying..Sam jumped to his feet and took a key out of his pocket, crossed to large chest that was standing up against the wall, ntted in the lock and threw back the lid with a bab
It was a nugget-goodness knows how much it was worth.
"Isn't it grand," cried Sam, falling on his knees and patting it affectionately with his hand,
"I should just say it was," said Bob, slipping of the table to have a look over Ugly's head.
"Another find half as big as that and were made fer life," and Sam Clused the lid and Iocked it, putting the key carefully back into his pocket.
་
Bob crossed to the table and rook up his former position.
"Ours has turned out a trump of 'er claim,"
he said,
Sam nodded his head and replied: "Rather!"
What! yer do when yer bare enough-- give up work asked ⚫ obi
"I might think doing so, answered Sam, relighting his pipe.
**Might git married, el 58 "Maybe."
Bob slipped down off the `table once more and went to the "daor-opened in and looked out. Two or three mines were passing on their way to their shanties, they greeted him with "Good evening, Beauly" and walked on. Bob kicked the doar to and strode across. to Sam, who was still puffing at his pipe.
"Look here, Ugly," said Bob ;" it's no good us two goin' on like this, is it?"
"No," replied Sam, rising from his seat. "What's ter he done?" Sam shook his heat,
..
"Bout Lil, I mean," explained Bab.
I know what yer mean, Beauty, and Sam looked intently at the flour as if thinking.
"Who does she like the best o' us two?" asked Bob.
"Can't say--the one she's talkin' to at the time, I guess."
"Look here, Ugly.” said Bob, "! We've always been good pals, we've not had rows like Hachett nd Black George, and its a pity we should start now, especially 'bout a woman."

He had been walking for some time, now and then breaking into song in his deep rough voice, and hardly noticing where he went-till he looked up and found himself by Peep Hollow some way out of camp, so he sat down with his back against a big pine and fit a pipe. "As happy as a king I'd be," he started to sing between the puts of smoke-when he stopped suddenly, for coming along the path towards him he saw a slight figure in a big straw hat. His heart gave a bound-it. was Lil!
Ugly sat very still as she approached and she didn't see him, being very interested in something she was talking to-he strained his ears to listen,
"You dear, dear, old fellow-how I love you -better than all the world-Sleepy Camp

It was a photo picture she addressed these remarks to, Sam could make that much out.
There, back to your little hiding place and nobody knows nothing about yer." So saying She kissed it and slipped it into the front of her blouse, then, turning from the path, cut off through the pines.
Sam had stopped his cong to listen, and it was some maments before he thought of getting up to follow her, but he did after a time, and tried to make out the way she had gone.
He had been breaking through the under- growth for a few minutes when he saw some- thing on the ground a few yards ahead.
"It's the picture she bad," said Sam to him. self so he forced his way through to the spot where it lay. It was face downwards--he pick- ed it up and turned it over -- it was the Beauty's. Sam let it fall will a half stifled cry and put
his hand to his throat, then kicked his way out to the track again and made for the shanty.
He met two or three of the boys who were off to work, but he never raised his head to their greetings. Reaching the hut he pushed the door open and stuinbled in. Bob he took a long time to say good-bye to his hadn't returned (his things were stillenpacked);

Sain dropped into a chair and stared hard at the door-then be jumped up and rummaged on the locker for snucthing and returned to the table with a dirty piece of paper and a little' stump of a pencil.

ENGLISH SPARROWS IN
AMERICA.
A correspondent of an American' paper writes: It seems that the first attempt to in- troduce the common English sparrow into America was made in 1858.by a private citizen of Portland, Maine. In the fall of that year he liberated six sparrows, and they immediately made themselves at home in his garden and outbuildings. For a few years these birds and their descendants were seen in and about the town in small These birds multiplied until in the squads, winter of 1871 a flock of them appeared in every near-by town, thus showing their tendency to spread over adjoining territory.

fourteen birds in Central Park. About this time numerous persons returning from abroad brought a few birds home and set them at liber-4 ty in and about Jersey City. The craze for im porting these birds spread, and in 1868 the city government of Boston imported a great number But the birds had not been carefully handled and they did not thrive, and others were brought various importations were carefully fed and over. The birds which survived from these looked after by the city government.
In 1869 a thousand were imported and liber. ated in the city of Philadelphia, and soon the birds spread over all adjacent territory About, this time the Smithsonian Institution became interested in bringing these birds to the country, so they imported 300, but most of them died.
In 1871 the same institution brought over another lot, and they were successfully cared
for.
From this it is seen that the birds have start- ed from a number of points, and were not from one or two importations to New York, as is usually supposed."

It was early when Bob got up next morning so early that there was only a very faint light in the cast but he hadn't slept a wink, so it was as good as tossing about for another hour or so.
He unlatched the door of the shanty as noise- lessly as he could, for fear of waking Sam, who was snoring away on his back, and slipped out into the open. He wanted to have a last look round, and straighten things up for his going-. he'd have to make some excuse to the boys, he thought, they'd think it so strange, and so be walked down to the claim,

According to all ac counts the story of the woman's sufferings has been, if anything, understated, and not in the least exaggerated.

"Why do those people make such a fuss about all this stupid business?" the mother is reported to have exclaimed petulantly on hearing hostile, cries from the crowd outside the window of the prison infirmary where she is confined. It is stated that the old lady, who is very wealthy, is a confirmed iniser, whereas her son, particularly when a younger man, was fond of cutting a figure, in the best society, in which he has always been received. An incredible but certain fact is, that he used often to give balls and parties in the very house where his sister was shut up, and that dancing and music would go on in a reception-room next to the filthy den wherein obe lay.

The exact motives of the inhuman mother and son in imprisoning their daughter and sister remain a mystery, but the story which the examining magistrate la inclined to believe is that of a love affair of the unhappy wo man when she was a young girl, twenty-five years ago, which the sordid mother determined to prevent on account of the fiancee's poverty. There is a very grim humour in one further fact revealed by the inquiry. 31. appears that for about twenty years an old female servant of the household acted as wardress to the impri- soned girl on the orders of the latter's mother, In 1895 this woman was proposed by her master and mistress for, and received, a medal Cargo impeding the discharge of the Vessel of honour from the "Society for Encouraging will be landed and stored at Consignees sink
