OORE’S  RURA!^  NEW-YORKER. 
which,  high  In  the  air,  I  was  running  at  a  rate 
unknown  upon  railroads. 
One  circumstance  during  the  trip  did  more  to 
Kliow  mo  the  terrlhle  rapidity  with  which  we 
dashed  through  tho  flume,  tlian  anything  else. 
Wo  had  hccn  ruslilng  down  at  a  pretty  lively  rate 
of  speed  when  the  boat  suddenly  Blruck  some¬ 
thing  In  the  bow— a  nail,  or  lodged  stick  of  wood, 
which  ought  not  to  have  been  there.  What  was 
tho  rftHiilt?  The  rod-faced  carpenter  was  sent 
whirling  into  the  flume,  Mn  feet  ahead;  Fair  was 
precipitated  on  his  face  and  1  found  a  soft  lodg¬ 
ment  on  Fair’s  back. 
it  seemed  to  me  that  In  a  second's  time  Fair, 
himself  a  powertul  man,  had  the  carpenter  by  tho 
flcrull  of  tho  nock  aud  had  pulled  him  Into  the 
boat.  I  did  not  know  that,  at  this  time,  Fair  had 
his  Angers  crushed  between  the  boat  and  the 
Hume. 
Hut  we  sped  along ;  minutes  seemed  hours.  It 
Boemed  an  hour  before  wo  arrived  at  the  worst 
place  In  tho  llumc,  and  yet  Hereford  tells  me  it 
was  less  than  ten  minutes.  The  flume  at  the  point 
alluded  to  must  have  been  very  near  45*  Inclina¬ 
tion. 
In  looking  out  before  we  reached  it,  l  thought 
the  only  way  to  get  to  tho  bottom  was  to  fall. 
Howourlwat  kept  In  the  track  Is  more  than  1 
know.  The  wind,  tho  sleamboat,  tho  railroad 
never  wont  so  fast.  1  have  been  when;  tlio  wind 
blow  at  tlw;  rate  of  so  miles  an  hour  and  yet  my 
brciil  h  was  not  taken  away.  In  the  flume,  In  the 
bad  ])lac(?8,  It  seemed  as  If  I  would  suffocate. 
The  first  biVl  place  that  wm  reached— and  If  1 
rcniomher  right..  It  was  the  worst— I  got  close 
against  Fair.  I  did  not  know  that  I  would  survive 
the  journey,  but  I  wanted  to  see  how  fast  wo  were 
going.  80  I  lay  eloao  to  him  and  placed  tny  head 
between  his  shoulders.  Tlje  water  was  coming 
Into  his  face  like  the  broakerHof  tho  ocean.  When 
we  went  slow,  the  broakers  came  In  on  my  back ; 
but  when  the  heavy  grades  were  reached,  the 
breakers  were  In  front.  In  one  case  Fair  shielded 
me  and  In  the  other  1  shielded  Fair. 
In  this  particularly  bad  place  I  allude  to,  my 
desire  wtis  to  form  some  judgment  of  the  sp(!c,d 
wc  were  making.  If  the  truth  must  bo  sisiken,  I 
was  really  scared  almost  out  of  reason  ;  but  If  I 
was  on  the  way  to  eternity,  1  wanted  to  know  ex¬ 
actly  how  fiWt  1  went ;  so  1  huddled  close  to  Fair 
and  turned  my  eyes  toward  the  mils.  iCvery  ob¬ 
ject  1  placed  tny  eye  on  was  gone  bt.'fore  I  could 
Clearly  see  what  It  was.  Mountains  passed  like 
visions  anti  shadows.  It  w.a.s  with  dlfllculty  that 
I  coulil  get  my  breath.  1  toll  that  I  did  not  weigh 
an  hundred  pttuuds,  although  I  knew,  in  tho  sharp- 
neas  of  Intelkwt  which  one  htw  at  such  a  moment, 
that  the  scales  turned  at  two  hitmlmd, 
Mr.  Flood  and  Mr.  Uoroford,  although  they 
started  several  mlnute.s  later  than  we,  wore  close 
upon  us.  They  were  not  so  heavily  loaded  and 
they  had  the  full  sweep  of  the  water,  while  wc 
had  It  rather  at  accond-htuid.  Their  bo.at  Anally 
struck  ours  with  a  terrible  crash. 
Mr.  I''l<)Od  was  thrown  upon  hla  fiico  and  tlie 
waters  flowed  over  him,  leaving  not  a  dry  thread 
upon  him.  What  became  of  Jlcroford  I  do  not 
know,  except thatwhen  ho  rofwJUed  the  terminus 
of  the  flume,  he  wa.s  iis  wet  as  any  of  us. 
This  only  remains  l-o  bo  said.  Wc  made  the 
oni.Iro  dUtanoe  In  loss  time  than  a  railroad  train 
would  ordinarily  make,  and  a  portion  of  the  time  , 
we  went  fasttn-  Chan  a  railroad  train  ever  went. 
Fair  said  wo  went  at  least  a  mile  a  minute. 
Flood  said  wo  wont  at  the  rate  of  lOO  miles  an 
hour,  and  mi/  dellberato  belief  Is  that  wc  went  at 
a  rate  that  annihilated  time  and  space.  We  were 
a  wet  lot  when  we  reached  the  terminus  of  tho 
flume.  Flood  said  ho  would  not  make  the  trip 
again  for  tho  whole  Consolidated  Virginia  Mine. 
Fair  said  that  he  should  never  again  place  him¬ 
self  on  an  oouallty  with  Ibnbor  aud  wood,  and 
Hereford  said  be  was  sorry  that  he  ever  built  the 
Hiimo.  As  for  myself,  1  told  Vbe  mlllloijalro  that 
I  had  accepted  my  last  challenge.  When  wo  left 
our  boats  wc  were  more  dead  than  alive. 
Wc  had  yet  10  mUes  to  drive  to  Virginia  City. 
How  wo  reached  home  the  reader  %vlU  never  know. 
1  asked  Flood  what  I  was  to  do  with  my  spoiled 
Bultot  English  clothes,  lie  bade  me  “good  night,' 
with  the  remark  that  my  clothes  were  good 
enough  to  giveaway.  The  next  day,  neither  Flood 
ffor  Fair  were  able  to  leave  their  bed.  For  myself, 
1  had  only  strength  enough  left  to  say,  “  I  have 
had  enough  of  flumes.” 
A  NEWSPAPER’S  STORY. 
ONE  day,  about  three  In  the  afternoon,  a  mid¬ 
dle-aged  gentleman  ran  up  the  steps  of  a  hand¬ 
some  house.  In  a  handsomer  eay  strtiot,  and  asked 
the  servant  who  opened  the  door  If  Miss  Neville 
Wiis  at  home.  Being  answered  In  the  afllrmatlve, 
ho  sent  in  IHs  card.  Written  upon  It  was  the  name 
— Wlllbun  Bolmore. 
Tho  servant,  having  shown  him  inw  the  front 
parlor,  took  tlie  card  upst  alre  and  returned  with 
tho  Information  that  Miss  Neville  would  be  “  down 
In  a  moment,”  and  In  a  moment  Miss  Neville  her¬ 
self  entered.  She  was  a  beautiful  young  woman 
of  three-and-twenty.  She  was  dressed  stylishly 
and  horo  herseU  •with  an  air  that  showed  she  was 
used  to  society. 
8he  heldin her  luiuda  newspaper, around  Avhlch 
•WAS  folded  a  wrapper,  directed  to  herself,  which 
she  hivd  taken  from  the  hall  table  as  she  pa-ssed. 
She  had  only  glanced  at  the  direction  and  as  yet 
not  opened  lU  Tliat  paper  was  ms’sclf- 1  had  just 
arflvod  from  Washington. 
At  her  entrance  Mr.  Belmorc  arose  and  ad¬ 
vanced,  holding  out  his  hand.  She  gave  him  hers, 
which  he  certainly  kept  a  moment  or  so  longer 
than  was  necessary.  He  was  a  tall,  well-built 
man  enough,  fifty  years  of  age,  with  gray  side 
whiskers  and  a  high  nose. 
Of  course  as  a  newspaper  and  one  devoted  to 
fashionable  Intelligence,  I  have  great  e.xperlence 
In  love  affairs.  I  kiw  at  a  glance  that  Mr.  Bel- 
more  was  In  love  with  MI-ss  Neville  and  that  ho 
Intended  to  offer  her  his  hand  and  heart  at  some 
time.  After  they  had  conveiued  awhile,  I  knew 
that  he  had  resolved  to  do  It  that  very  day.  She 
knew  It  too,  when  he  had  remarked : 
“.My  dear  Miss  NcvIIICt  I  have  something  very 
particular  to  say  to  you.” 
He  began  by  telling  ber  that  she  was  beautiful. 
Then  he  told  her  that  be  loved  her.  Then  he  men¬ 
tioned  th(!  amount  Of  his  propcirty  and  real  estate 
and  askoil  her  if  she  would  many  him. 
She  thanked  him  in  a  verj'  well  arranged  speech, 
at  the  end  of  which  she  declined  his  oiTer. 
Wlien  she  had  done  this  there  was  a  silence. 
Mr.  Belmorc  broke  It  by  making  an  Inquiry  : 
“  Would  she  ever  change  her  mind  7  Might  ho 
not  hope  that,  having  ihougUl  his  offer  over,  she 
would  view  It  In  a  better  light  7” 
She  replied  th.at  It  was  not  a  question  of  time 
aud  that  she  certainly  should  not  change  licr 
ml  ud.  She  hoped,  however,  that  he  would  always 
be  ber  friend. 
At  that  he  grew  very  angry,  though  he  trle<l  not 
to  appear  so ;  and  In  a  moment  he  arose  te  go. 
She  bowed  him  to  tho  i)arlor  door  and  he  went 
out  lute  tho  hall,  inte  the  vestibule,  and  to  the 
front  door.  '’J’here  a  new  look,  wlilcli  was  the  tor¬ 
ment  of  every  stranger,  baffled  him.  He  stood  a 
prisoner  between  the  two  doors,  vainly  struggling 
te  open  either  of  them  for  live  minutes. 
In  this  space  of  time  Miss  Neville  had  seated 
herself  in  a  great  urm-chutr  and  taken  me  out  of 
my  wrapper.  As  soon  as  she  did  so  her  eye  rested 
on  a  paragrapli,  on  each  .side  of  which  were  jilaced 
two  pencil  braeJeets. 
There  were  not  fifty  words  between  them ;  but 
as  sho  read  I  felt  myself  begin  to  tremble  In  her 
hands. 
o  Is  It  possible  7”  she  cried ;  and  teara  arose  te 
her  eyes;  and  just  then  a  faint  sound  In  the  hull 
atlrimtod  her  attention. 
Mr.  Belmoro  hod  managed  to  open  the  Inner 
door  and  steod  at  tliat  of  the  parlor. 
“I  beg  a  thousand  pardons.  Miss  Neville,”  he 
said,  “  but  1  cannot  manage  to— to  got  out  of  tho 
house  as  rapidly  as,  doubtless,  would  bo  agree¬ 
able  to  you.” 
He  was  very  angry  at  this  time  and  Hie  marks 
of  two  red  hot  teal’s  of  rage  and  grief- middle- 
aged  tears — were  on  Ids  cheeks.  1  don’t  know 
whether  sho  saw  them,  but  he  uotlood  those  lu 
hers  and  the  change  In  her  face. 
“1  regret  that  I  should  have  distressed  you,” 
he  said,  “  1- 1— 1  hoped  to  make  you  as  liuiipj-  as 
a  dlfTerenc  answer  would  have  made  mo.” 
As  ho  sjioke  she  put  mo  down  upon  the  table 
and  advanced  to  him. 
Would  a  different  answer  have  made  you 
apny  ?”  said  she. 
“  That  I  asked  the  question  Is  suQlcleut  proof 
of  that,"  said  be. 
“  Then  be  happy,”  Said  Slio,  and  held  out  her 
hand. 
1  never  saw  so  happy  a  man  since  l  was  a  news¬ 
paper.  I 
llo  took  her  hands  and  put  them  t«  his  Ups.  . 
“  If  It  had  not  been  for  tho  door-lock,  my  dear,” 
he  said,  “  how  miserable  I  should  be  this  mo¬ 
ment!”  Bless  tho  door- lock  !  The  angels  must 
have  been  watching  over  mu  when  1  grow  su  stu- 
j)ld  over  It— eh,  darlJijg  7" 
“  1  am  glad  you  came  bat^k,”  said  she. 
“And  don’t  crj'.  it’s  all  over.  1  did  not  go 
away,”  said  he. 
“  .lust  let  mo  cry  a  little  wlille,”  said  she. 
“  What  has  happffned  to-day  will  never  haiipon 
again,  you  know,  it  is  ouly  for  once." 
••  1/08,  Ifa  not  likely  to  be  done  over  again.” 
said  he.  “And  l-o  think  I  might  have  gone  off. 
TUey  always  told  me  that  ladles  said  ‘  no"  when 
they  meant ‘yes;’  but  l  did  not  believe  it  until 
to-day.” 
And  after  a  while  he  look  his  loavo,  well  satis¬ 
fied. 
They  are  married  now,  and  he  often  spoke  of 
that  day.  lie  says  that  but  for  the  door-nick  he 
might  have  been  u  mlscruble  bachelor,  for  be 
should  never  have  asked  her  a  second  1  imo  tor 
what  she  had  once  refused.  She  always  smiles 
on  him  when  h«  says  UiaU  AH  the  world  knows 
tho  htory  of  tha  door-lock  and  how  she  changed 
her  mind  while  be  was  opening  it,  and  it  l.s  quite 
amusing  and  romantic;  but  no  one  knows  about 
mo.  I  am  quite  an  old  paper  now,  for  I  bear  date 
1872.  I  lie  In  a  little  box  in  which  Ls  a  photograph, 
four  Iclters  and  a  ring.  The  box  Is  al  ways  locked 
but  the  penciled  brackets  have  not  faded  out  yet,
