"Oh, yes, indeed. I am a irorshiper
at the shrine of nature. One 'glimpse
of such s-ieuery at this is to me worth
a journey across the continent'"-and
the truth of MUs Pembroke's assertion
was reflected in bur flushed cheeks
and sparkling eyes.
They were on horseback, and 'had
halted ou a high plateau where the
sunrUe and this choice bit of mountain
scenery bad burst simultaneously upon
their view.
To look at these t wo riders one cou'id
not avoid the impression that both were
somowliut out of place in each other's
society. One was a beautiful young
Judy, fresh from the heart of ultra-civ-'
ilization.with a unmistakable airofcul
lure and high breeding ; the other was
a hnrdy miner, whose knowledge of the
world was confined ! the wild, moun
tainous g-dd region of California and
Nevada. Oue had slight, willowy
form, displayed to good advantage in a
neat fitting habit of some rich material;
the olher revealed a tall,, athletic fig
ure, clad in garments that were course
- and unpretentious, but by no means
unbecoming.
They had met by the merest chance.
. A party of tourists from souio Kustern
oily had stopped for a montfi at the lit
tle town of Bluziaway, and Miss Pem
broke ami tier parents were the party.
lilnzeaway, one year ago, hail been
nothing more than a milling camp, but
it nad grown like a mushroom in the
night,' as it were, and had become so
popular with, travelers and pleasure
seekers that a passable hotel was now
one of its most important institutions.
In its immediate vicinity was some of
thu grandest scenery to be found in
the whole range of the Sierra Nevadas,
and this with its delightful climnte and
many advantage of location was the
secret of its attractiveness.
It so happened that Joe Longdon.thc
miner, became the favoriteguidcof this
particular party on their sight-seeing
expeditious, during their sojourn at
lilazeaway. Ho was a good-looking,big
hearted; intelligent fellow, with a cer
tain rough eloquence in his speech and
manner, aud a peculiarly graphic style
at relating the legends and anecdotes
connected with the points of interest
that came under their observation.
Strange to say, the proud Miss Pcin-"a-lwuko
became deeply interested in this
Joo Langdon. Blie found hiiu an eu
tenniuing companion, with views and
ideas similar to her own, if thry had
only been cultivate, and she was
amused rather than shocked by bis
simple, unpolished language. He liked
poetry, and she read n him sometimes
by the hour, while' he listened with
beaiiftug eyea and bated breath. And
1 while she marveled that a man so ut
terly without culture and learning
ould be fond of such things, it proba-
lly never occurred to her that it might
not baH much the poetry as the mu
sical rhythm of her own sweet voice
that engaged bis rapt attWlwu.
At any rale.'lhey were good friends,
- , and when the entire male portion of
I be excursion party went off lor a two
week's hunt up the acrajnento river,
Miaa Pembroke was left with little else
te amuse herself with beside this, new
. admirer of heia. It was certainly a
. comfort to her to hat him al-
l jf near her, as guile cJ protect a, '
when she went beyond t!u limits of
the little town. . ,
They hud risen early this morning on
purposo to see the stinrii-e. Laug'lon
iiuving expatiated on the beauty of the
scene us viewed from a curtain point
on the mountain, Miss Pemluoke went
into ruptures over it. r.
"It in Mie most beautiful sight I ever
witnessed !" she exclaimed, again and
again. "How' good of you 1o propose
this mornius; ride, Mr. Kaui;don. You
are idwnys'ithinkingnf something new
for my enjoyment. I must induce the
rest of the party-to sec this before they
leave here. . By the way," she added,
"the gentlemen arc expected to return
from their hunt to-morrow, and I. pre
sume they Will propose an early depar
ture fc r some other point. I nniocon
cerned about Charley that I shall be
glad-r" , .: '
"Charley who?" asked Joe Lnngdou,
altnos.sharply.
"Wiiy, Charlie Brnnth-y. He is one
of our own party,you know. You must
hnvoseen him." r
"You mean the handsome fellow
with the long mustache that kept sp
close to you the day wo rode !over to
the mine !"
A conscious blush reddened the la
dy 's face., ;L ' ' .
'"Yes." sho replied, ''that was Char
ley Brantley."
Langdon saw the blush and moved
uneasily in the caddie.
"Dp you love him Miss Pembroke ?''
"Sir!" . . -
"Do you love Charley Brantley ?"
It was a ;laiu question, plainly put.
From another person it would have
been resented us a most impertinent
one; out oven tne naugnty.fliiss ".'em-
broke could not get angry with this
With
frank, simple-hearted -1111111
heightenUig color she replied :
' "Yes, Mr. Laugdon ; I don't mind
telling you that I do lo'vo him. We
are ciguged to bo married." "
She was not looking, at'bim. She
did not see the gray pallor ' that
crept slowly into his face; she did not
note the stony look in his eyes, or the
nervous manner in which he raised his
hand to his throat and pulled at his
coll jr as if it were choking him.

It would have been hard to tell

was a trjing ordeal through which he
was passing, and for a moment it seemed

piteous, pleading gaze of Inoso eyes
that had played havoc with it during
the gunny weeks. Jotf'Lanffdon win.

ed ofT at a brirk canter, ,die said,
"What do you soy to a race, Miss Pem
broke? Let's see which o' these
horses can take the rag oirtiie bush in
a mile stretch."
And away they galloped at a reck
less rate of speed, leaving a cloud of
dust in their wake. ,
It was the next day after this occur
ence that Joe Laugdon stood leaning
against the trunk ot a huge tree, just
beyond the limits, of Bluzeu way, ab
sorbed in thought. -
Ho wus 11 lout-, and he could scarcely
have looked more pule nnd luiggarM if
he had just risen from a long, wasting
illness.

Joe LaiiKt'oii sprung upon him with
the quiekiiess of thought, and bore him
heaviiy to the. ground.
The attack was sii sudden -mid unexr

for it, but with a furious curse ho strug
gled to his I'ect and drew his revolver.
He was uhout to lire when ho heard
a woman's1 Kcrentn, a man's sboiH, and
a strong hand seized his arm and held
it. . .
"Prop that pistol!" cried a stern
voice. "YouMiuldii't shoot a mini
when he's down !"'
What had happened ? What did it
meun? Was that Joe Laugdon ' lying
on (lie ground w ith an arrow quivering
In his side? Was that Laura Pem
broke kneeling beside tho prostrate
miner? Vus this Mr. Pembroke who
had grasped Ids arm and wrenched the

things gradually, like a uiau waking

How, then, does the mechanism of thi
brain really act? I believe the true
answer to this1 question is the one most
fully given by Si. Kibot and never yet
completely accepted by English psycho!-"
ogists. 'Tt acts, jfor the most part, as a
wliole; or, at least, even the simplest idea .
or mentiil act of any sort is a complex of
processes involving the most enormously
varied brain elements. . . Instead .of dog
being located somewhere jn one pars
ticulur cell of the brain, dog is an idea;
audible, visible, legible, pronounceable,
requiring for 'different modes of his per-

is not a single act; it is a complex series
of co-ordinated movements, implying for
its proier performance the action of al'
inoi;t all the innsclcs of tho body in difs
