ALL FOR LOVE.
niF sTot:v in-' .i a m i: samii'.i.s' i.ii-k.
One of those stories, so proline in the
W-.'st-- romantic in the extreme lull of
love, jealousy, attempted murder and a
happy linalc -Inn ju-l been made pnb
lic in Denver, Col. The hern, William
sammls, is one of the weallh'est men
in the state, ami it is front his lips that
the story mines, corroborated 1 y his
wife and In other .lames. Four years
ago the two brothers livetl in ttio beau
tiful Chester Valiey. Pennsylvania.
Herbert Samuels, the father, was a
well-tii-do farmer, owning a splendid
t raft ol l.iu.l. where he dwelt with his
wife and two hoys. When the latter
were did enough he sent them t school
and then to college. Puring their ab
sence a brut In r of the father died and
he took into his family the dead man's
child Ilattie. When the two brothers
returned from college, aged about
twenty th ee and twenty-live respect
ively, they fo.md t..eir cousin, a beau
tiful girl of twenty years, installed in
the hoiiso. Of tho brothers lames, the
elder, had light hair an I eyes and was
of fUiet and even demeanor, rarely, if
ever, known to be angry, and being
a general favorite not only at home
but throughout the entire community.
In marked contrast was the character
and disposition of William, the young
er brother, who. of a dark. almo4
swarthy complexion, with hair and
eyes as black as coal, was fiery and
piick to anger, and although naturally
well meaning ha I had numerous en
counters, both while attending school
and since his graduation.
.Since the time, three years ago,
when dames and William finally re
turned from college and found their
lovely cousin douitciltd at their home,
they had both been violently in love
with her and both had made every
manifestation of the fueling, hut so far
the cunning witch had avoided show
ing the slightest preference for either,
treating them as brothers rather than
lovers. This stale of affairs rankled
as it thorn in the breast of the hot
headed William, whose feelings of bit
terness and jealousy toward his brother
grew until they amounted to almost
positive hatred. Time and again he
sought quarrels, but James' nmro even
temper prevented anything of a serious
character until one bright afternoon in
July, when, upon the return of the
elder brother and Ilattie. from a ride,
the younger, who watched with a
ferocious, dangerous glare in his eye
m his brother assisted his cousin to
alight, then followed him to th
barn where he was unharnessing the
horses and attacked him with the vilest 1
abuse, using epithets so strong that he
was at last compelled to reply in tho
,t....i spirit.
Words were followed by blows,
when William, blinded by passion,
seized a heavy wagon "poke and dealt
his brother a stunning blow, felling
him to the earth, as the blood gushed
from a ghastly wound in the head.
At once realizing the terrible thing
that he had done, and believing that he
had killed his brother, a complete re
vulsion of feeling came over him, and,
casting a last hurried look at the pros
trate form and the white upturned
face, he fled. After several d.tys of
continuous travel he arrived at an
obscure mining camp in Colorado, hop
ing that, buried in the wild fastnesses
of the llocky Mountains he could shut
out from his vision the ever present
horrible Might of the face of the brother

stain by his hand. Kntcring upon the
pursuit of a miner be sought by a fev
erish industry ami the hardest kind of
hard work to forget his one horror, but
in the dark recesses of the drift in
which he was working, in the gloomy
cornets of the cabin in which he slep ,
everywhere and always it haunted him.
In the meantime, alter a few months,
fortune, with her usual fickleness re
warded his labor, which had been per
formed without any particular thought
or hope, of result, and the open drift,
which had become a tunnel of some
proportions, struck a rich lead of mar
vellous proportions and .-miaining im-
I menso wealth.
j At once the almost unknown camp
j became famous, and his naum all un
! consciously to him became almost as a
household word in all mining commu
nities as associate with one of the
largest strikes of the year. Fame of
this kin .1 travels far, and even after a
time rea 'hed the ipiiet farm in Chester
Valley where he had spent his happy
chililhoud days and afterward wrecked
his manhood. n day, while in the
J cage ascending from the b ittoin of one
j of bis deepest shafts, a shadow cast
'over the top cau-el him to suddenly
look up, and the f.i-'C he saw caused a
thrill of horror Ij pass through him,
his hau ls relaxed his grap of the rope
and he had a narrow eseip" from
falling to the bottom. Arriving at the
top more dead than alive, he gave one
hasty, frightened glance around him,
saw the face again and swooned away
The owner of the face, a tall and
handsome man. evidently a stranger in
the ramp, sprang forward and caught
his falling body in time to prevent it
from being dashed to pieces in the
bottom of the shaft, at tho same time
ejti'ulating, "Oh, William!-' The
miner was taken t i his cabin, and,
alter the application ol restoratives,
slowly revived. "Where is it?" he
iinkod, at which the stranger slowly a -v.iuced
and said s.dtly, "Mrother. do'i't
yon know me?" With a still half
frightened look in his wandering eyes
the miner gavel again at the face
which ha I so startled him, and gradu
ally realizing the fact that it was real,
bxii.gnesh and blood, aga'n rclap ed
into a swoon. For days he rave l in
the paroxysms of a fever, living
the hideous chapter of his life over
again, until a' last the fever exhausted
itself by its very force, and the sick
man sank into a deep slumber.
At last the invalid awoke, weak and
helpless as a child, but in his right
mind. Instantly the cause of hi ill
ness was by his side, and taking his
hand tenderly in his ow n said, "Wil
liam, my poor brother!" It was James
Samuels, the brother who va supposed
to have been dead, but who was here
alive and well and in the full enjoy
ment of manhood. "Is it a miracle?"
ejaculated William, as soon as he could
speak. "It is no miracle, but a sad
mistake under which you have labored
and from which you have undoubtedly
suffered much. When you get strong
er I will tell you all." The next day,
William having so far recovered ns to
he able to sit up, his brother sat by
him and said, "Notwithstanding my
injury, which was not nearly so serious
as you imagined, I regained conscious
ness shortly afterward, and our father,
who entered the barn at. that moment
assisted me to the house. The news
was broken to your mother and Ilattie
as gently as possible and I really think
their sympathies were with you more
than with me. The matter was kept
as quiet as possible in the neighbor
hood and I soon recovered from the
injury, and everything went, along as
usual save that you were grieved for
and lamented by all. Xot withstanding
all the inquiries which we had quiet h
set on foot to discover your wheie
ahouts we utterly failed to discover
any trace, and mourned you almost as
one dead. About two weeks ago I pick
ed up an old newspaper and saw your
name for tho first time connected with
tho story of your big mining strike. It
was at once resolved fiat I should
como to you. I started that very night,
and I am here."
"Hut Ilattie?" asked William, with
a wistful look from his eyes.
"Si.e is well, and would be happy
were it not for worrying about your
fate."
"She and yon got married, of course ?"
There was pain in tho very tones in
W hich this was asked.
"Xo, indeed. After you left she con
fided to nie her secret th ?t after all
she loved you and always meant to
marry you." A dae 1 look came over
William's face, and gasping, "It cannot
be," he very nearly relapsed into
another swoon, the joy of the announce
ment being almost too much for him
in his weakened state. At last, after
having been assured again and again
by his brother of the glad truth, he ex
claimed, "Oh, let ns go home at once."
Arrangemt nts were made at once to

Facial Freaks.
We have it on the authority of Mr.
Karl Muller that, in his liovhoil he
knew a man who, Janus-like, had two
totally different fa.-e, one sid" 1 ingo
ing, and thoothererying. ' Nalurallj,"
he says, "I dreaded this sti inu'i' double
face, with its one side .iiiioot h, pbnup,
comely, like a girl's cheek ; while the
oth.-r was a'l scarred by the smallpox.
This side of the face denoted churlish
ness, and while the other b in- a smile,
this bode I inischicl."
The same authority is also responsi
ble for the following story: "I wai
or.ee sitting in a cool underground
saloon at L.'ipsic, while without people
were ready to die from the heat, when
a new guest entered and tool, a seal
opposite to me. The sweat rolled in
great drops down his face, and he was
kept biisy with his handkerchief, until
at last he found relief in the exclaina
tion, 'Fearfully hot!" I watchel huh
attentively a, he railed for a cool drink,
for I expec'.ed every moment he wuld
fall from his chair in a lit of apoplexy.
The man must have noticed that 1 was
observing him, for he turned toward
me suddenly, saying: 'I am a curious
sort of person, am I not?' 'Why?' I
asked. 'I'.ecaiisc I perspire only on my
right side.' he responded. And so it
was. His right cIicck and the right
half of his forehead were as hot as lire,
while the left side of his face bore not
a tra.-c of p 'rspiration. I had never
seen the like, and in my astonishment
was about to enter into con ver..:tt ;.m
with him regarding this physiological
phenomenon, when his neighbor on
the left broke in with the remarK:
'Then wo are opposite" and lounter
parts ol ca.-h other, for 1 perspire only
on the left side.' This, too, was the
fact. So the pair took seats opposite
each other, and . shook hands likotwo

The (Jrass Tree.
Mown in Australia, that great island
where theCrralor sreins to h ue pi mte I
the seed of many of His wonders to be
! found in the vegc!.;' l kingdom, grows
a tree that is little heard of by the out
side world, but which is of inctiniable
vaoie to the native, who depends more
upon the productions of nature for ex
istence and happiness than upon the
creations of art and science. It is the
grass tree. It isof small growth, being
hardly more than a shrub. At the top
are tufts of foliage resembling palms,
from the center ol which n long slender
spike shoots out, covered with llowersol
varied and beautiful hues. The base ol
the leavesof this tree furnishes tho na
tive with food, it being very palatable
when roasted. The sap of the tree is
a balsamic exudation, which when ex
posed to the air becomes hard and drv.
Tins is one of nature's best tonics for
dysentery, diarrluea and other intesti
nal maladies; it is also used by the na
thesfor healing wounds, which it does
very quickly; and when it is mixed
with alluvial soil, it forms a very tena
cious cement, which is used for caulk
ing canoes. Iliulllt and Jlomi.
Paper Doors.
"Feel the weight of that door." said
a New York builder to iShh reporter.
Who was looking at an unfinished
apartment house up town. The report
er prepared to lift what seemed to be a
polished mahogany door, but it proved
too light for any wood. "It is made ol
paptr." said the builder, "and, while it
costs about the same as wood, is much
better, because there is no shrinking,
swelling, cracking, or warping. It is
composed of two thick paper boards,
stamped and moulded into panels and
glued together with glue and potash,
and then rolled through heavy rollers.
It is lirst covered with a waterproof
coating and then with a fireproof coat
ing, and is painted and varnished and
hung in the ordinary way. Few per
sons can detect that they are not made
of wood, particularly when used as
sliding doors."
Not Ills House.
Old man I'ettigrew, of Austin, is
very precise in his statements, and is
also a strict constructionist. (ne
morning a neighbor rushed in on I'et

Your house is burning up." "You

"You know the long received theory
of the nature of the interior of the
earth was that it is a molten mass, and
that we move around m a crust en
veloping the earth and caused by the
cooling off of this mass on th itside.
It is undoubtedly true that about

that every fifty fool we pen-tra'e into

' of thirty miles the heat is mi great that
' any substance we know of would melt,
l'crhaps the melted mass is in the
form of a liquid. That would be cer

it. The pressure U edimated at l'i.

earth in such an cxieiit that the cii th's
crust would In Ige out in the direction

solid crust of the canh. as . ertaihly as
' the skin of an orange bulges out when
' you squeeze the fruit between the
palms of your hands. And this would
; be evident to us because the ocean
tides would be almost, if ti"t quite, im
; percept ibli to us. To w ithstand the
attraction of the moon, the earth, sir
1 W ilham says, must be as rigid as
, bteel.
; "so wo have the theory that, tin;
I crust of the earth floats on and im
poses an immense weight on a water
' substance, which is inconceivably hot.
' Now. as to the way an earthquake
i may be caused. Suppose moisture
J trickled gradually, year alter year,
j through this crust into the heated

I would be pi'oiiU'".'d. Thirty miles bc
: low us the pressure is so great that it
is not likely that steam could he gene
rated. One thing, though: the prcss
i lire exerted in every direction, would
be increased, some effect must be
produced down there, and it is easy to
see that if one phv e in the earth's
i eru.st is weaker than another near the
region win re the water trickled in,
then 'the weakest place must stun' the
I
strain.' It is not unrcasonablo to sup-
j pose that this pressure below might be
' so great that the earth's covering was
j shifted a little to adapt itself to the
' pressure Iroin below. This shifting
of the crust is, in fact, the earthquake.
"I believe this theory has the greater
reason on its side, because earthquakes
are almost always in the region of vol
canoes.and volcanoes are almost always
n or near the ocean.
"Another theory of earthquakes is
that as the earth is very gradually
cooling off the crust is thickening on
the under side, and cracks or fissures
on the under side of the crust many
miles deep may occur in consequence ,
uf the enormo'is pressure, so that the
water sii' stance rushes into a new po
sition with a force that would kniiek a
continent out of shape if it look pla -e
on the ear'.b's surface. That motion
would be sufficient to produce a vibra
tion thirty miles distant.
"Whatever the cause of the recent
earthquake." added I'rof. Merri nan.
