THE LUMP CITY MINER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA. LOVED AND LOST. A Romance In the Life of Andrew J. Davis, in Which a Handsome and Accom- plished Young Lady of Quincy, Illinois, Figured. Many stories have been told about the late J ie, over whose $11,000,000 eetnite there has I eyen so muoli litigation; some of them more interesting than re- liable. The following story is true, as well ami ieterveiting : Something like fifty years ago a oar - tam family named Cleaves moved from the State of Vermont to the State of lea, where, a few years later, the father and mother died, leaving several chil- dren, ineluding a daughter, Mary Ann, who was at that time probably about fourteen years of age. Mary was good, bright and amiable, and when her uncle, Seth Sherman, of Quincy, Ill., took her to his home si his adopted child, her departure caused great regret in the neighborhood. Sherman was a,member of the firm of Moore, Morton & Sherman, laud agents, who did a \land (ace business\ in the frontier village on the Mississippi river, a town destined to develop into the beau- tiful -Gem City.\ His borne was in a house that is yet * Standing at the inter- section of Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets, just east ot where the water company's reservoir now stands, and be- yond what was then and for many years to come, known as \the prairie.\ Mary Sherman, as the orphan came to be called, developed into a young woman of rare loveliness of mind and person. Possessing that beautiful pink-and -white complexion, so unoomenc•n and so endur- ing; olear, blue eyes, which reflected kindness, intelligence and sincerity; a pure, refined, sweet countenance; a no- ble mind and amiable disposition; and a form that was a blending of symmetry and grace, she was indeed, a charming That such a maiden, anywhere, should lack suitors, would be an anemoly ; that such a girl, in the Quincy of forty-five years ago should lack suitors, would be inconceivable. Venerable, dignified cap- italiets talk in their reminiscent moods of the sad havoc made by the bright eyes, Madonna -like face and winning ways of this beauteous prairie flower. But, while Mary had a pleasant word for all, and was uniformly agreeable, ehé showed no symptoms of the divine pass- ion, greatly to the sorrow of her admirers and to the surprise of the community, and various were the theories set up to account for her curious indifference. If Mary knew of the gossip, it did not dis- turb her at all, and she continued to scatter her smiles with the same impar- tiality as before. One of the most ardent of her suitors was a young man named Joseph B. Gil- pin, who was employed in the land office of his father. Industrious, thrifty, hon- orable, Joe was one of the finest young men in the community; and he loved Mary with all the strength of hie honest heart. That the girl liked him, was evident, for she showed it plainly ; and, indeed, such was her manner toward him at times, that some observers believed that she really reciprocated his love, and that time would show this view to be correct. At times Joe himself half believed as much; then again, he feared that he was deceiving himself and that her feeling did not go beyond esteem. One day there came to Quincy agtran- ger from Iowa He was a handsome young fellow, of mmanly hearing and frank, pleas À address, wt, made an excellent impression on all with whom he came in contact during his short stay. Hie name was Andrew J. Davis. The fact soon developed that he and Mary Sherman were aoquaintances in Iowa, and the next conclusion was that the object of his visit was to see her. Nor was this all that was discovered— by the handsome girl's adoring!, at least —for it was evident from Mary's manner toward her former playmate, that his coming gave her marked pleasure, if, in deed, there was not evidence in her atti- tude of a deeper feeling toward him. It may be imagined that Joe Gilpin was not the lent person to discover the marked attentions ot the stranger, who was clearly in love with Mary, while her exceedingly kind interest in him almost drove Joe wild. Whether or not J intereeded with Uncle Set b rennot be stated, but at all events the bitter was on Joe's aide, and to any one who known Uncle Seth's ways, that meant an enormous ail ventage, for be it known, Seth Sherman was a man who wanted him own way very much, sad usually got it to a very larga dagr.•a. Where he fnilnd t.0 gr,t it h e ,,n ni t ra lly rTIR(I• the situation trernely mim' mnufort. rilda fer the\ had thwarted him. .1 mist what re•lo etli maid to Mary is not known, It I !itv a left almost imme- diately for the far west For n SAT he met with the in- different suceees ut tie ,ivirage miner in Montana. Then f' 'rins I.egan to smile on him. Another year and he bad made such progress as led him to depart for Quincy, but in a quiet, unannounced way. Arriving in Quincy, bronzed by expo- sure, and otherwise changed, he easily avoided recognition and made the in - quince upon whioh his happiness de- pended. If he found all to be well, he would lay his hand and fortune at the feet of the girl e hotu i lie loved, lie learned that Mary Sherman and Joe Gilpin were married ! \No one in Quiney knew of my return; I left without a word,\ said Davie to a high official of Arizona, to whom he told this story, anil through whom, indirect- ly, the facts were learned. Back to Montana went the future multi -millionaire, resolved to forget in harder work than ever his heartache. As if - endeavoring to make up in this di- rection for her cruelty in time other, for- tune redoubled her favors, and soon Davis was rich. After sonne years had passed, he made another visit to Quincy, but this time there was no secrecy about it. He knew what he would find, but he felt that he must go. He realized that the girl whom he had so devotedly loved was the happy wife of another man, and no thought of attempting to disturb that, happiness was in his mind. He had done brave*battle with his sorrow; he felt strong enough to witness joy that he had mimed; he believed that such visit would do him good and he went back. He was received by the Gilpins with all of the cordiality due a true and loyal friend and he found their home one of the happiest in all Quincy. If Mary had really ever felt any by, for her play- mate, the childish fancy had been effac- ed by the all -possessing love felt for her husband; while the latter, secure in his supreme happiness, was too noble a mind to hold aught against the man who had lost the prize. Thus, as Davie expected, the visit did him good. Once more he returned to money- making, and his good fortune continued. He became rich beyond his wildest dreams. About forty years ago Joe died. Hav- ing prospered, he left Mary and the children in comfortable circutnetances. Some years later Davie proposed marriage to her, but was refused. Her love was buried and the millions of an- other man had no temptation for her. Mrs. Gilpin makes her home with her children, a daughter in Gainsville, Texas, and two sons in Oklahoma. She visits Quincy and the east regularly, and moves in the very highest circles. She is a woman of stately presence, with en- during traces of her rare loveliness, and is a most charming conversationalist. ALHAMBRA SPRINGS HOTEL. L. S. MOSES. Manager.

THERE ARE THREE THINGS • which we cio that are a little out of the common riu first one of these things is that we arc \ EXCLUSIVE BLANK HOUSE in Montana; the second one is that we are prepared to furnish Blanks THE SAME DAY ORDERED; and the third and most essential point is that we CliAgE LESS and r EKE BETTER BLANKS than can possibly be purchased elsewhere in the State. There is Another Point about our Blanks ; in fact there are several points which it will not do to lose sight of. Our prices include postage, and our blanks are prifited on pure linen paper, are durable, and have beetx especially prepared from the most approved forms. OUR PRICES. All quarter-sheet blanks .$ 35 cents per doz. Quarter -sheet Blanks, 100 lota 2 50 All eighth -sheet Blanks. . 25 cents per dor.. Eighth -sheet Blanks, 100 lota 1 75 All one-half sheet Blanks 50 cents per doz. Half -sheet Blanks, lf/0 lots 3 50 Quarter -sheet Blanks, single blank, 5 cents The above prices ir ... y>de postage paid by us. We are pre- pared to furnish any blank used in any of the courts of --the State, by return mail, at the above prices; but the CASH MUST ACCOMPANY ORD ER. Our Blank businéss has reached some- what collossal proportions. The only% way we can account for this is the fact that mir Blanks are cheaper than ever before heard of in Montana; that they conform in every particular to the requirements of the new Codes, and the further fact that we furnish them promptly when ordered.
