THAT TRAMP.1 was just turning the best room upside

down, sweeping, dusting and cleaning it.The sunlight streamed in through thecreeper over the windows, which Ihadopened, an.l the sound of the birds singingoutside made me wish Ihadn't so much workto do In that dusty room. Suddenly Iheardthe click of the gate-latch. Somebody com-in.-. and me with my head wrapped up inadu-t >r and my skirt turned up] Then therewas the rap of knuckles on the panel of thefront d or, which was open. Thinking itwas Widow Jenkins' littleboy come over toborrow the hatchet to chop kindlings, forhe came regularly every day, Istepped Intothe entry.It was a tramp. lie was ayoune man with

aheavy beard, dressed In blue canvas and astraw hat, but with that shambling and halfashamed look which vagabonds seem tocarry with them everywhere.

New our home was seldom visited bytramps. It was a good piece oft tho road,ants they generally stopped at the black-smith's en the corner or at Deacon Thomas'half wayup the hill.

"What do you want?" Isaid sharply.But Irelented a minute afterward. lielooked at me so piteously; he seemed sohot and tired and dusty that Ifelt sorry forhim.1was always considered the fool of the

family. Iwas everybody's slave. If theboys wanted an errrand run or a buttonsewed on it was always, "Sally*ll do it."Sally was always the one left behind whenthere wr«s a party and only finery enoughfor two. It was Sally who stayed homofrom meeting and lent her boot-i to one ofthe tners. Yet 1 believed 1 liked doingthings for them, and for a kiss or a kindword would willingly have gone throng!) firoand water.

Now that Uncle Kit was coming fromCalifornia to make us a visit, itwas Iwhowas lelt at home to clean up and make thehouse -mart, while Floss and Peggy hadgone to the village to buy some chintz for

\u25a0 his rnnm curtains and a new white coverletfor ln« bed."i »HLt something to cat aud a rest,"

replied the tramp.\u25a0 Ifonly mother had been at home! Show»s away consulting over Martha Phillips'sick baby, for she was a rare nurs?, andTallied the importance of being c.iiie.l unonon such occasions. Father and the boyswere mowing in the meadow a mile away.My impulse was at once to invite thestranger in. He really seemed to have arespectable look under his rags andwretched dress —

at least Ithought so for amoment, and Ifeltnot the slightest fear ofhim. Probably he would go before theothers came home and none would be thewiser.

"Come in,"Isaid. "You do look tiredoat. Come in an.l I'll get you somethinet» cat." Ho give me a graU'tul look andfollowed me to the kitchen. There Iquickly

\u25a0ft a table. The instinct of hospitality\u25a0»woke in me. Iset before* him Rome cold>eef, fresh butter, a.loaf of bread, and then

\u25a0 Irew him some cool cider from the cellar.(Ie ate leisurely and quietly, but made a

good dinner.Idon't know what possessed me, but

after he had finished his dinner Iaskedhim ifhe would take a nap uu the loungein the sitting-room. Father always laythere for a short lime in the evening.Tnere 1left my tramp «nd went on withmy work. Iswept out the par! r, dustedtlie mantlepiece and pictures, set fresh• flowers in tiie va>e on the red cloth of thecenter table, and after giving a few touchesSo the brass -ioor bandies and putting newribbons on the curtain* 1returned to theutling-ro'im.

The fact of itis 1was filled with anxietylest my mother or the girls or my fathershould come home while the tramp wasthere. Ifthey did, woe betide me. Iknew1should never hear the last of it. "Justlike Sally." "Any more tramps beenuruuni. bally?" •>illy, heard from thatran.i'?" and such l.ko speeches would De

dinned in my ears night and day forever.The tramp Ifound preparing to go; but

somehow he seemed to hesitate."Are you s>>Ing, sir?" 1asked. "Well, I

!ope you f-el better." Ididn't ald "callSain," words that were on uiylips. Still

le lni2PreJ.•'..

"Can Ido anything more fur you?" Iin-

Tilreil. On, how 1regretted that speech a.imi Dt afterward.

\u25a0

"You've been such a dear, ccod young

.*',\u25a0_\u25a0 to me," he said warm"

that I'm to-blK to ask a loan of you."

1 believe 1looked thunderstruck."1 have no money to buy a ticket to Har-

ristown. Wont you be so kind as to lendme some?"

Dear, dear, what would my folks say ifthey thought Iwas ;: Ing to lend money inatramp. Butlend it1did— Iput into h slarge bruwn hand the whole of in. sixBooths' savings. 1 felt almost afraid of myfolly at the time, but he took itwitha smile,thanked me profusely, and the next thing 1knew lie was going down the lane, towardthe main road. Asudden thought occurredto me."

Come back for a moment," Icried. Heturned round and i.a-.tily approached thepiazza."

Are you going to theaepot?" Iinquired.. "1am," he answered."Well, your shortest way is round the

house. Follow the path through the orchard,past the barn and down the p isture. it willbring you to the back road, and save youtuif an hour's walk in the sun. Turn tothelei at tie pasture *ato and Keep right on.". -He thanked me, smiled again and was\u25a0one.\u25a0••"Now," 1 thought, "he's sure to meetnone of the folks coming home." Then IBrew a brt-ath of relief, and after tidying•myself dragged the rocking-chair on to theveranda and tried to feel as unconcerned as

\u25a0possible a-. Iwatted for father and the restto return.^

ilo'.bcr came home first, full of the symp-toms a.d sufferings of Martha Phillips'Baby ;then floss and Peggy drove up in thegngtfjr, eager to show us their purchases.Father and the boys arrived in lime for sup-

That evening the innrt 8aX was discussedtgalo. The subject of the mortgage that laym the. farm was periodically uUcua»edThose who own mortgaged farms and knowtheir owners will understand what Imeanby saying that the mention of mortgagesjiakcs n:e sick. That mortgage it was thatrriulered my mother old bel .re her time uudmaiie liiyfather appear an Incarnation of:ovctousness.

Hie niggaidliness and closeness whichnecessity had made the rule of his life wasDot,Ibelieve, natural to him; but it wasground Inhim by the mortgage and the pay-ing the interest. Day and night dolirrs anilcents profit and prices, were the whol- topicot conversation. Every penny was grudg-ingly doled out, every expense which meantlaying out money was cut off. Everythingthat could be sold eff the farm was solhay, butter, eggs and beef, and swallowedup by this mortgage. It was only by ourown private poultry, and the sale of milkfrom our own cow, and by knitting that wegirls manage! to scrape together enough todress on. The carking care, the pinchingpoverty in the midst of plenty which wears'more than anything else on heart and mind,are to be found in perfection in the homeof a fanner whose farm carries a mort-cage. The removal of the mortgage, whichwas once the dream of my father's life, hadfora long lime passed out of the range ofbis hopes. Itwas hard enough to pay theinterest It was natural enough, therefore,that the return of my uncle from Californiawitha fortune brought up the subject of themortgage.

"1shouldn't be surprised ifho lifted it atlast for me," said my father that evening."I'veoften asked him and he's never givenme a decided answer. II« must be prettywellfixed now and 1hirfped him when hewas n boy." ;/

- -And this opinion veemed to be shared by

mother and the toys. My uncle's arrivalwas looked upo> as a sort of bonanza to thefajiiily. Itw«s therefore with great excite-ment that ye heard the news that Jake Ed-wards ws>* driving ud strangers from thestation «nd that they were coming to SquireSaup'tei'a. This message was brought bythe small boy on the shaggy white pony whocarried the letters from the station to ourpostoffice and who picked up this bit of gos-lip when the mail train came inand had out-stripped Jake Edwards' team, which wascfrti.iuly more noted lor strength thanspeed. •

fattier and the boys bad hired a neighborto go <n with the baying and dressed them-srlves in their bent, mother had on her graysatin witha pink ribbon in her cap, and wegirls had made ourselves just too fine for\u25a0bribing. At last the team appeared, black

horses and square, oilskin-covered coach. Atall man, tawny and bearded, leaped fromtin seat and came up the veranda steps,« here all the family were rauued to meethim. 11« shook hands with father, kissedmother and then turned to us girls.

Floss was the beauty of the family andwas first presented for a kiss, then Peggyand Inni.l nil myself, though Iwas olderthan Peggy ;but Iwas plain and quiet.

"Three line gal-," said my Uncle Kit,"and yer boys seem kind of hearty, too, butit mast be hard work toiling and sweatingon this rocky soil. Iwish you was all inCaliforny." Then he paused.

"1have a friend, Noah Broadhead, in thecarriage. Iwould like to introduce you tohim, brother Will, and if you can give him abit/ and a sup, and accommodate him andme with beds for one night

—I'll be

grateful—""Certainly, certainly," cried my mother.

"Ask him inand introduce him."A gentleman dressed in spick ond span

new clothes, clean shaven and really nicelooking, was led up by Uncle Kit aud in-troduced all around as his friend, XoahBroadband.1 thought Ihad seen the face before, as

then1was Bomethins very familiar in thoexpression of his eyes, but could not re-member where. At the time it occurred tome that itmight have been ivmeeting orat liarristown.

However we made a very merry party. Ihad been so often teased and quizzed aboutmy "softness" that it was quite a reliefwhen tho mortgage, Uncle Kit and dinnertook up allthought and conversation. Butafter dinner 1 had a somewhat trying ordealto C" through.

The fact of it was Uncle Kit made aBpeecD. "Isee, Brother Will," he said,"thatafter all you are much better offthan1 am." (Sensation, ns tbf.y say In the news-papers.)

"You have a fine farm and a line

family." , ,"And a fine mortgage," said my father

under his breatn, but Uncle Kit did nothear him.

"As for me," went on Uncle Kit, "I'mnotso rich as 1 would like to be. lam not evenso rich as you are." There was a breathlesspaiiie here."Iam bound to say that ifithain't been

for a member of this family 1should neverhave learned how rich you are."

My father started, flushed and grew al-most angry, lie thought he was beingquizzed."

Hold on till I've finished, Will," went onmy uncle. "Yesterday morning IthoughtIwas twice as rich as you are, and itisthrough a member of your family,1repeat,[bat 1learned my mistake."

Who could it be that had told Uncle Kitthat we were rich? Every one looked at theother. .Mv father evidently was much per-turbed. Air. Noah Bruadhead's face wore akind of amused smile; whether he wassecretly laughing at my unc!« or at myfather, or was amused at Deing taken sosuddenly into family confidences 1did notknow.

"Amember of this family yesterday ad-mitted a tramp into thU house," weut ontin- speaker."Itmust have been that Sally," whis-

pered pretty Floss and Peggy, and all eyesimmediately were fixed on me."

The tramp was fed and rested, ana be-fore going away itstocking—lbelieve it wasa stocking, Noah

—was prolucedand certain

dimes, quarters and fifty-cent pieces countedout and given to this worthless vagabond."

Mother looked reproachfully at me. 1dare not look at father; the two boysseemed puzzled. Had my foolish generosityto the tramp conveyed tlie notion to myuncle that we were tuo well off to need Illsassistance? The idea seemed absurd, im-possible.

"That tramp," went on mv uncle, "wasan old mate of mine, and but for this moneywould not have met me at lltirristown andoffered me the chance of making a big fort-une out of your farm."

"You're welcome to do that. Kit,"said myfather, dryly, "if only you'll give me halfof it."

"That tramp," continued Uncle Kit,"showed me the finest specimen of nimga-nese that 1had ever seen— and Iunderstandfrom him that he found it in your pasture.Brother, you wrote to me asking rue to liftyour mortgage. Ican't do -th.it, but you'vegot a daughter in your house who is coodenuugn to 111 ike the heaviest mortgage inthe world lighter than a feather. I'll tellyou what 1 will do. Iwill taKe sharesenough in your manganese mine to lift allthe mortgages in the village."

My father looked stupelied for a moment,my mother stared nt him and blushed forsheer joy. Even the boys seemed to wakenup to the good news, and Iwas for a mo-ment eyed with admiration by nil.

SoIdidn't get very much teased after allabout entertaining that tramp. Mr. NoahBroadhead, who professed to be a chemist,examined the manganese deposit djwn Inour pasture that very day aud pronouncedit one of the richest in our part of theworld.

We still live on the old farm, but we tinarno more 0! mortgages, and it was only yes-terday that Floss said to me, "Oh, Sally,how luckyitwas that you were so kind tothat tramp."

But iliivc never yet been able to per-suade myself that the tramp and Mr. NoahBroadliead were not the same person.

Half a dozen wild steers brought over onthe Transit created a panic at the foot ofSecond street yesterday morning. They

caused every one In their neighborhood to

uiiike quirk time in getting to a place ofsafety. They went into lite lluinboldt lum-ber-yards like a troop of cav.-tiry and fright-ened a team of horses so badly that they

tore their harness all to pieces trying to cotaway. A small b>y who cot in the road ofIhemad brutes went sailing skyward, butescaped with a few bruises. The animalswere captured before any further damage

was done.Over 70,000 tons of coal have been brought

The captainoffered them beef, pork and rum in ex-change, but strange to say, while the beefand pork were accepted, tlio rum was re-fused. On being asked the reason thenatives said they had a law on the islandthai no one should either bring rum thereor use it on the Island. Itwas also learnedthat their time was so taken up raising cot-ton that they had no time to catch fish.

Woods was at theferry landing, and created considerable dis-turbance, as tie wanted to wrestle some one.When the oilier came on the scene Woodshad hold of a stout young teamster, and nodoubt tlin arrival of the officer saved thedisturber from a good drubbing.

The Pacific Mail Company's steamerChina, which is duo from China and Japanon Saturday next, has on board forty-e&btChinese for this port.

TED Tlir. TEBBOB.A number of seafaring men were In the

office of a well-known shlpchandler yester-day and the conversation turned on thepresent civil war in Chile. Nearly everyone present had something to say of whathe had seen down there, when an oidcaptain who has long since retired from theperils of the sea spoke up.

"Did yon fellows ever hear of fightingTed Driscoll?" he asked, and then con-tinued, "Ted was the terror of the vigilantesin Valparaiso for a long time. Driscoll wasan American, born in liooton, Ithink.lie was a tine looking fellow, six feet Idheight, strong as an ox and a fighter ailover. Ted had got <iowu to Valparaiso Inaman-of-war and 1 suptose lie did nut likeHim discipline. Anyhow he deserted and sofar hs 1know no efforts were made to takehim back. No doubt the Captain was gladhe wag cone. The man made a livingonthe beacn as a runner fur a boarding-houseuntilone day in a dispute over some moneyhe beat the boarding master so idly thatthe latter was con lined to the hospital forthree mouths.

I'.OBBED SAILORS."After that Ted look to robbing sailors

fora living. He would knock a man downinbroad daylight, and once when a police-mau tried to arrest him be beat the ollicerso ba.ily t:iey had to curry the official home.Ted';, time came at Ust. One day he eot sodrunk lie Could not stand, and before hesobered up the Captain of the Port lud himunder lock and key. They have a way ofpunishing offenders down ther« oy puttingthem in the army, and after a trial Ted wassent to the army under h six months' sen-tence. Every one thought he would clearout the first chance he had, but it seemsthe Captain of the company Ted was sent totook a likingto tbe fellow and m ide him aSergeant, Everything went along all righttill the recruit got fullof whisky and raisedsuch a row in the barracks that the officerin charge ordered Driscoll placod under ar-rest aud locked up.

PA TERRIBLE FIGHT.'This bo enraeed Ted , that he sprang

upon the officer ami with one blow nl hisnst smashed the mxn's jaw. They had aterrible fight before he was secured. Dris-coll's character was so bad that he was triedby court-martial and sentenced to be shot.Ted appealed to ihn United States Consul,but that gentleman declined to Interfere.The man was such a notorious ruffian thatevery one seemed to think he deserved whathe was to get. On the day set for the ex-ecution nearly the entire population of Val-paraiso turned out to see him aie. Theplace selected for the execution waa awayup on the lullover the town and just belowthe big fort. At 9 o'clock, when the manwas led out, the sld« of the hillbelow thefort was packed with people Ted lookedat the grave dug to receive him and then atthe vast concourse of people, ami to hiscredit be itsaid he showed uo sign of fear.

UXI>EK FIRE."Driscoll was placed standing beside the

open crave. There was no coffin, and thoofficer in charce asked him if he had any-thing to say. 'Nothing,' he replied. 'Onlytake these irons oil' my hands and let medie free.' The officer never for an instantdreamed of any trick, and ordered thoirons taken off his wrists. This was soondone, and every one fell back, and theAmerican desperado was left alone to die.The twelve boMlers who were to do thesnooting were inarched out and took theirstation about forty yards from the prisoner.Iheir puns were already loaded, and in aclear voice came the order in Spanish,Aim! fireI' As the order lire was given

Dri-coll threw himself flat on his face andevery bullet missed him.A DASH FOB LIBERTY.

"The next Instant he was on his feet, andbefore the astonished soldiers could under-stand what had happened Driscoll wasdashing through the crowds of people andgoing for town like a greyhound. The sol-diers dare not fire as tho crowd followedthe fugitive, and he soon disappeared in thedirection of the lauding. The soldierssearched every ship in the harbor, but invain; they never got him. No doubt thefellow was hid in some ot the boarding-houses until a change came to get him outof th« country. Driscoll finally reachedNew York, but his experience in Chile didnot do him any good, ns he was convicted ofkilling a policeman, and, after \u25a0 lone trial,hanged ivthe Tombs."

BILL MOORE'S ESTATE

A Bitter Legal Strife EndedAfter Many Years.

The Heirs Seemed Indomitable, But atlast, After Repeated Adverses,

Accepted the Inevitable.

The Supreme Court yesterday brought toa close one of the most protracted and ha-rassing litigations in the history of Califor-nia by finding in favor of the administratrixin a controversy growing out of the estateof William 11. Moore." Having filed her final account for settln-ment in Santa Cruz County, the heirs madeobjection to the allowance of certain itemstherein, after hearing which the ProbateJudge allowed them. From this order anappeal was taken, chiefly on account of theallowance lor certain expenditures in therepair of the Pacific Ocean House, a well-known hostelry in Santa Cruz.

The executrix had obtained permission todisburse a stated amount In this behalf, butwent beyond the precise directions of thocourt in certain particulars. Itwas urgedby the appellants that the court had 110

right to allow for the extra expenditures,but the Supreme Court, in the opinionhanded down by Judge Harrison, held thatmerely because she had made repairs with-out a previous order authorizing them theyshould not therefore bo disallowed.

THEY WERE PIONEERS OF TUE STATE.

"The Moores came to California long be-fore the discovery of gold made mammonworship an inducement to seek theseshores," said an attorney at the Supreme

Court yesterday, "and became well-knownfor miles around the district in which theylived, Santa Cruz County. It is said thattheir former Lome was in the South— at anyrate they had all the Southern proclivities,for their popularity arose from a never-fail-ing hospitality, together with a 'devil-may-care' way of talking and acting, which madethem most enjoyable companions,

'"Mrs. Moore was especially liked by thechildren, and, if you will believe it, cnoreason was that she always kept on hand alarge barrel of pickled pigs' feet, a comesti-ble which the youngsters was very fond of.lii11 Moore, as he was called, was their son,inheriting all the peculiarities of his parents,He was perhaps a little wild, but extremelygood-hearted, and, withal, wellliked. By amarriage with his first wife be had severalchildren, but on her death he was united toa pretty school-teacher, with large blackeyes and gentle refiued manners.

MOORE WAS SLAI.V."Notwithstanding the seeming want of

harmony in the match tne couple were veryhappy, Hillspending most of his time on Hit)Moore ranch, near Santa Cruz, the propertystill being known by that name.

"One day, however, after Hill had de-parted to town for sime stores the youngwife received the startling intelligence thather Husband had been slain by an assassin.'1 tie shock prostrated her, and for days shelay in a critical condition, hut at last slit)was able to attend to the affairs of the de-ceased, and naturally thn question of thedistribution of the property arose.

"A-has bo«n said, Moore had children byhis first wife, who were bis heirs, and theyapproached the young widow with a propo-rtion by which she was to give up allHerright to the remaining property on the chil-d1en's surrendering to her their title tocertain valuable lands in Santa Cruz County.These terms she accepted, being anxious toavoid all litigation ami Controversy. Sub-sequently her child was born, and she sawthat by her agreement she had barred hissuccession.

LITIGATION'COMMENCED."She immediately began suit, therefore,

to have the contract set aside, alleging thatat the time it was entered into she was men-tally unable to properly transact business,and that she was unaware of any possibilityof her giving birth to a child. Thus beganthe litleatiou that was to harass her furyears. Time and again she was awardedjudgment by the courts, only to have theheirs come forward again with more legalproceedings.

"Atlast, however, the matter was fin illysettled in her favur, although the boast hadbeen made that not until every penny intheir possession had been expended wouldthe heirs desist, and then a controversyarose over the administration of the estate.Here again she was successful, but. asabove stated, a new suit arose out uf the ac-tion of the court in allowing the PacificOcean House disbursements. This last de-cision willprobably draw the much-litigatedquestions to a close* v*

Mr. French producedall the papers found in the S ife Deposit box,oi:e of them being a copyof \V.B.1. Dama'swill.
