Show VISITS WITH &UN6LEBY CAROLINE AND THE BISHOP By Catharine Mathews "y (Copyright Constantia spread out her hands wtth a gesture of repudiating all responsibility connected with any event which might have taken place in the history of the world since chaos took definite foirn The impression she seemed desirous of conveying was that, through no fault of her own, all and easily understood things had been iwept away and that chaos once more xeigni niprenie, but as yet I was wholly u .enlightened concerning the situation, save .that Constantia had twice given utterance to the plaintive d exclamation' The poor, dear bishop how could he let himself be so carried away!" I am used to Constantia, it being now some twenty-odyears since I became Mr. Constantia, if I may so describe myself, and I was therefore reasonably ante that if I refrained from hurrying her into explanations it would flhoitly become clear to me not only by whom the dear bishop had been carried away, but also whither he had been cai ied Constantia is the best, the most af fert innate of wives, and has me on her mind to a perfectly projier extent, but all that portion of her mind which is not occupied by me and my affatis is weighted down with anxiety concern ing the cathedral, the dear bishop and tint welfare of the diocese. We are constantly engaged In perfecting plans for the health and happiness of all three, and of late we have devoted no small portion of our time and skill to marrying the dear bishop to Mrs. Peter Cantear, Constantia being firmly persuaded that this is eminently desiiable no less for tho cathedral and the diocese than for the dear bishop himself. Of Mrs. Peter Cantear I can only say that she to back Constantia in the matthe ter, bishop appears quiescent, as a bishop properly should. The one disturbing element is Caroline. Caroline is Constantin's niece, and though she is adorable I thank heaven she is not my niece, or Constantia would certainly blame me for disturbances due to Carolines vivacious influences. Vivacity may be carried to a fault, Constantia says, and Caroline holds as well some most unorthodox views, contending, for example, that bishops are human, and that Mrs. Peter Can-teais a prim bundle of worn-ou- t platitudes. If Caroline, bo pretty, so brilliant and so gay, may be compared to anything bo disagreeable as a thorn, I should certainly say she was the one thorn of Constantias otherwise satisfactory life. That Caroline was to blame for the present crisis I guessed even before I was informed, but that Mrs. Peter Cantear, had witnessed the whole affair was a mischance for which I was unAnd then the moon I prepared. had forgotten that there was a moon, hut, of course, being so, It gave the thing away with a completeness which no diplomacy of Constantlas could ever hope to set straight again. The stars in their courses fought against her, amt wasn't It precisely like Mrs. Peter Cantear to be In exactly the wrong place at exactly the wrong moment? I said as much to Constantia, but learned I had misplaced the blame; hut for Caroline, it seemed, Mrs. Peter Cantear might have been anywhere, and at any time, without the present Disastrous disastrous consequences. was the word, said Constantia, yes, r certainly, disastrous. ft began, the disastrous circumstance, like a great many other unfortunate occurrences. In the most What could innocent possible way. lie more harmless than an evening guild meeting in the parish house, what more suggestive of good works and peace of spirit? What could be more uplifting? It evidently so wrought upon the bishop that he desired a season of peaceful communion with himself to offset it, and, declining the offer of Mrs. Peter Cantears sleigh to convey him home, he sot off with that youthful, elastic step that so belied his 50 years aud was so entirely characteristic of the bishop The cold, though Intense, was brisk and bracing, the snow gave out that creaking sound beneath his tread which we always associate with Christmas and with cheeriness, and which gives to most of us that delicious nostalgia for the things we left behind The moon us with our childhood. shone over all with an unequaled brilliance. A perfect night, said the bishop, as he turned to say goodnight to Mrs. Peter Cantear; and Mrs. Peter Cantear agreed. She did not then know it for a night whose perfection was to be marred for her by a tremendous dint from an unkind fate. The bishop proceeded without let or hindrance until he came to the top McVlckars the of hill, down whose smooth white glistening length the world hnd his wife were busily and merrily engaged in coasting.

I can hardly even yet realize that the bishop could so completely forget the cathedial, the diocese, the Episcopal example and his 50 years. The remembrance of one or other of them should have stayed with him, one would think. But they fled him completely, It appears, and before the astonished eves of Mrs Peter Canteai, driving sedately home In her sedately appointed sleigh, was i vealed the amazing sight of Caroline aud the bishop, cot ting meriily down the icy expanse of hill on a little sled, whose lack of space caused them to ding to each other in a manner which showed far moie regard tor their personal safety than for tlm Episcopal dignity Picture it to youiself if jou can; to me, even, it seems a profanity on the puit of Caroline, to Constantia it is as it the cathedial itself had been seen sl'dng down hill on Uannv McVickars while to Mis Peter little boll, Cantear we may .well believe it was what the crash of the worlds will ha when the elements which keep them m their plact s dissolve A ciash indeed it ended in, for tho to bishop, being more accustomed steei mg guild meetings than small sleds, made some wrong calculation in endeavonng to avoid a collision with Mrs Peter Cantears sleigh He was foiced by the stress of circumstance to swerve and deviate from that straightness of path which he was so Insistent in recommending to his flock, with the result that, with au Incredible swlllness, Caroline, the bishop and the sled were overturned and mixed suddenly and com pletoly with a quantity of soft snow. No one, myself least of all, would deny that Mrs. Peter Cantear was a much and sorely tiled lady.

My own darling, said he, with an entire disregard of Mis. Peter Cantears proximity, my own darling, tell me that you are not hurt! And with that he tenderly kissed her upturned, laughing face. I have mentioned before that there was a certain youthful elasticity about the bishop! Mrs. Cantear is ill, positively ill I fjrom the shock, said Constantia. HIKES AND MINING It Is predicted by many that the Sierra mining district will be one of the busiest sections in northern Nevada. Manager H. S. Giles of the Giles Mining companys properties In te, Big Cottonwood district, states that the season's work on the strike made last fall will begin at once. During the winter work was confined to advancing the long tunnel. The strike made by E. S. Chafey on the Dun Glen mine, in Sierra district, only twenty miles southwest of and only a few miles from the railroad, is proving to be one of the richest strikes made in the state, according to the Humboldt Star. y The company, operating at Pioche, has just completed the purchase of the eight claims becomlonging to the Nevada-Plochand for 155,000, through the pany, are to cieal secures holdings that prove invaluable to the purchasers June was a tremendous month ftir the Salt Lake mining exchange, the Hading surpassing anything ever ex-- i erlenced by the exchange During the month a grand total of. 4,006 519 shines of mining stock sold on the floor, the sales amounting to the cash valuation of $2,848,579 05.
