A canon in the mountains, near the prosperous mining town of Douglas Creek, in Wyoming Torri- tory. Grand and picturesque the peaks rise up on oither side, towering far up towards tho clouds, which hung in groups of golden beauty overhead. The crystal water of the areck, from which the town takes its name, danced merrily over its rocky bed, its plashing blending in rippling melody with tho soughing of the breezo through the lofty pines. -- Scattered here and there over a grassy plot were a number of de- torminod looking men; dressed in the garb of mountaineers, conversing in low, earnest tones. ns though their altontion was engrossed by some matter of more than ordinary im- port. A little apart from the rest, closely guarded by two brawny mountaineors, stood a youth of ap- parently not over cighteen years of ago, with features of the most re. markable beauty and form of the most porfect mould, Near him, coiled upon tho grass, lay a ropo, in ono end of which a noose had boen artistically formed. Thore was no mistaking tho scene-- Judge Lynch was about to hold a court, The youth had arrived in camp but three days before on the stage from Laramio City, and had regis- tered at tho hotel as larry Forrest, to told tho inquisitive landlord (all Westorn landlords aro inquisitive) that he was the son of & wealthy man in tho "States," and was on a tour of pleasure and observation in the mountains, IIo "circulated freely among the rough element, which isa marked feature of every mining camp, and on account of the unusual beauty of his faco was dubbed "IIandsomo IIarry" by the denizens of the town, Douglas Creok, like every other mining town, was infested with a large number of the "sporting fra- ternity," otherwise known as pro. fessional gamblers, Among those was 8 fine looking man named George Watson, Ilo had terned u in camp about threo months provi- ous to tho dato of which I write, with plenty of money, which be spent with a lavish hand, Ifis epon-handod generosity made him a favorife with all, and his ekfll in manipulating the cards conld be attested by every one > '| who had faced him at the gambling table.® It wassoon observed that "Iland- some Harry" was closly watching Watson's covery movement, and soveral frionds called the gambler's attention to the fact. To cach one ho replied that there was a familiar look on the youth's faco--an expres- sion that he had soon before, though whon or whoro ho had seen it his memory failed to divulge. "1 don't know what the boy is watchihg me for," he would say, yet a feeling of uneasiness which he could not hide would manifest itsolf and it was noticed that since Ilarry's advent in the mines he bogan drink- ing heavily. On the morning of the day at which our story opens Watson be- camo intoxicated, and whilo sitting in the El Dorado saloon began to joke good-naturedly with the imates A youug miner had just finished the roading of aJettor which had taken from the post; and while returning it to dainty white envelope Watson said : "A letter from your swoecthart back in the States, ch, Tdmmy ? I'll bet any man in the house ten to one that I've called tho turn." "That's just what you've done, Wat," replied the miner, "It's from my girl in Michigan and a prettier ora better girl don't live, If I ever strike pay-rock in this claim of mine I'll scoot back there quick, and give some proacher a chance to make a few dollars." "Clear gune on her, I soo, Tommy! Well, I've boen there myself. I had asweotness once, and I fed a gospel sharp for a two minutes' speech, but the felicity of the game didn't stick six months, Oh! but sho was a daisy, though, a high-tondd beauty, but I never cared a curse for her.You see theold man had just bushels of sheckels stored away, and the man's a groat fool not to 'tackle matri- mony when it's buried in a mine of of ready coined gold, The old bloke didn't seem. to cotton at all to his dear son<in-law, so whon I got a grabat tho pot I jumped the game and carried the pot with me, The old rooster's dead and roasting "in Hades, I reckon, and I supposc the {ornamented his belt, disappointed females do--supped a dose of cold poison, or joined the big army of females of easy virtuo that every city ----' The sharp crack ofa revolver echoed through - the room and Watson fell qnivering in doath, shot through the head, while Handsomo Harry's voice rang out : "Die! you thrice accursed villian, dio and remember Edna" "The gal's brother, for any amount o' dust," cried a gambler, as "No, Jedge ; he jist tho samo as acknowledged it. "Yon are srue {hat Ian'some Harry fired the shot that croaked George Watson ?" " Pertoc'ly sure Jodgo," 'Thats all thon," A number of witnesses wore call- ed, and all corroborated tho bar- keeper's story, When tho evidence was all heard tho Judge turned to tho d and said ; the crowd rushed up toward the youth, Io was at once disarmed and secured, a meoting called' on the spot, and, by unanimous approval a lynch court announced for 2 o'clock at the usual place, about five hundred yardsdown the canon, At tho appointed hour tho crowd with their prisoner in charge, re- paired to the spot. Watson had becn speedily buried, and Harry had persistently refused to offer any ex- planation of the cause of the murder further than to say : Ile deserved it all, the villain] Ilang me assoon as you choose,' "I mako a move that Tobe Allen bo elected Jedge o' this ero court,' cried ono the assembly, the motion was unanimously carried, Allen, a tall, sunbrowned mountaineer, with a faco almost covered with huge, black whiskers, stepped forward and seated himself upon a rock, Ile was dressed in the babiliments of a hunter, noarly every garment being partly or in a whole of buck- skin, and a brace of formidable look- ing revolvers of tho colt pattern Ie called for order, and said : 'Lapp'int Doc Woods, Lengthy Johnson and Arkansaw as officers 0' tho court, It'll bo their duty to preserve order, an' it the kid's foun' guilty to exocute tho sentence o' the court, The rest o' the crowd 'll act as jury, an' I want overy one of you to buckle down and take in |every word e' the witnesses' music {and givo tho lad every chance you | kin--for dum mo if [ don't kinder {like his looks, lot your verdict bo a |just 'un, accordin' tothe facts an' | evidence." | The officers designated took thoir | post, at the side of the prisoner, and tho mass jury silontly gathored around tho reat of justice, "Nobby Dyer!" Tho person addressed, a flashily attired young man, wearing a grand display eof broast-pin and watch chiaim, stopped to tho front, Said the judge: " Nobby, do you sw'ar that yo'll givo us a squar' story on this killin' business, 'an' ladle out nuthin' but solid facts, so help you God ?" "Yes, jodge." "Tuarn'er loose, them 1" "Well, gents, I'm the day gin slinger at the El Dorado ; guess you all know that, though, far I've had business dealin's with all o' you, Wat, deceased, como into the saloon this morning," I should judge about T o'clock--"twas just aftor I'd mixed your first cocktail, Jedge; about 7, warn't it?" "Jist about that time; go ahead." Well, us I said, Wat camo in an' begin to gin up purty lively, 1 soed ho was takin' on more"n usual ; so I cramped on his whisky a little, an' didn't put moro than about half the usual amount into cach cocktail. Io kep' a hitten' at the juice, though till he began to feel" purty comfort- ably happy, an' thon he turned to an' begin to chaff the boys kind o' good natured, you know. Wat was allers full o' fun when he had a good dose o' the fluid up his nose, and I never knowed him to pull a gun or act a darned bit ugly with anybody. He warsittin' with his back to- warcs the door when the kid thar came in an' leaned kind 0' careless- like agin tho pool table, Wat began to lot loos a game about some gal that got sweet on him afore he left the States, when I noticed the kid turn sort o' palo an' grit his teeth ! I was jist about to tackle the lad an ask him w'at racket he was on when Billy Harvy called for atoddy. Jist as I turned round to the sugar drawor I heerd the gun go off, an', looking roan', Isced that it wer' this kid that had turned her looso. I set the toddy up to Billy, an' when I seed that Wat had got his medicine dead sure, T hopped oven the tar and tuk tho pop away from the lad an' asked bim what 'n thunder he wanted to raisea row in tho house fur? Ie didn't say anythin' 'copt somethin' [about tho villain, meanin' the doceas- od, adescrvin' all he'd got, an' 1 couldn't git no. more out o' him. That's all I know, gents,' copt that tho shot war a daisy ! I've sced my share o' sich rackets, but I never high-strung danghter dono as most sood a man git it wouter than Wat did 1" Harry, hev yo any witnesses fur yer defence ?"" "I bave nome sir, but the Al- mighty 1" " Well, T don't suppose He'd pay any 'tention to a scpony from this court. Yo've heard the ovidence, and yo mus'see that it hits ye purty straight.

It you want ter testify in yor own be. half now's yor time to sing yer song! Ilev ye anything to por- duco ?" erry stopped forward and faced the stern-looking crowd, With a clear and fearless eye he glanced over tho assembly a moment, and thon began to speaking a voico in which not a tremor could be detect- od : "Gentlomen, I stand beforo you as a convicted murderer, for I can read my fato in your cold, determin- od faces. I havo read enough, and heard enough, abont how such cases are disposed of in this wild country to know that in a fow moments 1 will hang suspended from a limb of ono of those trees! TI was fully conscious of this when I fired the shot which blotted a monster from tho face of the earth! Before you carry your sentence into execution I will tell my story, and then when [ am dead some of you may porhaps feel a little sympathy for Ilarry, as you call me, Do not for 8 moment think that I talk to consume time and delay the execution, for I truth- tully assure you that I donot foar the death which awaits me, "In oneof the most beauti{nl cities in the States of Ohio lived a wealthy, inoffensive old man named Forrester. That man, now in his grave, was my beloved father | Ile bad a daughted Edna, upon whom he doted, and she was, indeed the light and comfort of his old age. People called her amiablo and beaati- ful and as might bo expected, there were numerous suitors for her hand, and the fortune which awaited her upon her father's death. Among those suitors was a young man nam- od Fred Marston, the son of a wealthy merchant of the same city, and upon him Iidna bestowed tho purest love of hor innocent heart, The young man was somewhat wild aud a little inclined to dissipation, and on that account father violently opposed who union, Marston promised to re- form and Edns, poor girl, trusted implicitly in him, and they were secrotly married without her father's consent, When tho news was brok- on to the old man the shock so un- nerved him that be was taken to his bed by an attack of nervous prostras tion. The newly wedded couple took up their abode in the parental mansion, Edna positively refusing to leave her fathor in his illness, Faithfully sho watched by his bed sido, ministering to his overy want with tender, loving hands and pray- ing carnestly that he might recover and bestow upon herself and husband the blessing which she so coveted, "Marston proved a kind and loving husband for a brief period, and then again fell 'into his dissolute habits, frequently maltreating his wife in a cruel manner, The lifo of the young bride which sha had so fondly hoped would be one contiued gleam of sun- shine, became overcast with dark clouds of sorrow, "Ono morning Marston was miss ing from his bed when Fina awoke, and a letter upon his pillow inform- her that he had decided to forever leavo her and seok a home in the far Wost, * Almost crazed with grief she so'ation from his dear lips, but when she entored the door what a horrible sight met ber affrighted gaze!" Hero, for tho figst time, the «Did the kid deny tho shootin' ?" | flew to her father's chamber for cor-| covering his face ith Jia 'hand began to sob violently, crowd was listening with breathless a tion, bending forwhird towards youth as if fearing to lose a word tho story. : " Braco up, Ind : brace up' the judge, wiping his oyes in a picious manner, "Takoall the you want and real us off the whole business." : The youth rallied; and in 8 chok- ing voice, his oyes suffused with tears, resumed : ' Ob, gentlemen ! there, upon his bed, weltering in blood, lay her with a knife she had seen in ber husband's possession sticking in bis breast I She screamed for help and then swooned away, and a brain' fever beld her a raving maniac for eight long weeks! * When she recovered she learned. the murderer of her father had robb. od him of a large amount of money and tho detectives had utterly failed his to discover the slightest clew to whereabouts, When able to leave her room she sought her murdered father's" grave, and upon her bended knees above those loved remains she registered a fearful vow that she would not rest day or night until she had tracked the muderer to his hid- ing place and slain him as remorse. lessly as he had slain her only parent, " From the letter left bebind she interred that Marston had gone West and she: at once set out in that direction, Fortune favored her, for at Omaha she learned that a man answoring hisdeserption had left on the Union Pacific train about three or four days after the date of her father's death, © ticketed for Laramio City, She followed upon bis track and at Laramie City learned from the stage agont of his departure from this place.
