EGBERR Bill Alderson was the most cheerful mortal that ever existed. Of course he ought to have been cheerfal, for his father, old “Colonel” Alderson, had left Lim three million dollass in stocks and bonds and nothing to worry about. The incéme he managed to spend com- fortably, snd he was always surprised when Sharp & Sharp told him that there was a deficit on the last year's revenues and that he must retrench. “Of course,” the senior partner would add, “if you prefer it we can sell some of those H. and K. bomds for you and make up that way, besides providing you with a few thousands in hand. Hut ycu understand that this will curtail yeur capital.” “Sell 1. and K.” Alderson would an- swer. "l must pay my creditors, you know.’ It was noi that he was extravagant; merely that he had never been trained to the use of money. His father had lavished all on him without restraint. But “Colonel” Alderson died very suddenly, when his son's education was only half completed. Perhaps this was fortunate for the boy's character, but it was certainly more lucky for his friends. Naturally he had many enemies, as all men have who go through life be- stowing favors on the less fortunate. And he never knew it, because he was the most light-hearted person living. Now take the way in wiich he be senior partner, respectfully, “how much money have I got left?” “Income or principal, Mr. Alderson?” asked Mr. Sharp, looking at Willlam ' curiously. . “I don’t care,” Bill answered. “1 { want to know how much I can lay my hands upon.” | Mr. Sharp looked in his books and | answered: “A trifie over two mil | 1Hons. You know you have been break- ing into your capital rather freely dur- ing the last year or two. Why?” | “Because I'm engaged to be mar ried,” Willlam answered. “No, we've both always lived pretty well, and I'm afraid that what is a close fit for one will be a closer fit for two. And my father used to tell me that some day he would show me how to double my capital any time I wanted to. Do you know how to do it, Mr. Sharp?” he asked, looking frankly at the senor partner. The senfor partner stared back 80 hard that his glasses blurred. “Well—er—it can be done, of course,” he answered. “But you umn- derstand that there are certain risks attaching, Mr. Alderson. For instance, | suppoge the stock in which you spec- | ulated| went down instead of up, or up instead of down—why, it might be serious.” Moun'ts Horse at Once and Makes & Night Ride to City for Medl- cal Treatment. Botse, Ia—Nicholas Doyle, & sheep herder in the employ of Sam Ross, is In this city to get treatment for ra- b‘?l'.lxe other morning about 3 o'clock, while asleep in his tent, he was awak- ened by a fierce pain in his forehead and the weight of a body on his bunk. He struck out with his hands and knocked a coyote across the tent. Following it to the door through which it had disappeared he was in time to see a fall-grown coyote, the toam flying from its bloody chops, leave the body of a wounded sheep- dog and run for the hills. The coy- ote had entered the tent of Doyle and bitten him while he was asleep. The teeth of the animal had entered above and below the eye. : Without awaiting for daylight, Doyle caught a horse and started from his camp on Jenkins Creek for this city. | While waiting for the remedy, Doyle declares that he is not greatly agitat- ed, although he is fearful of losing his life. “l guess I can trust you, Mr. Sharp,” answered BIill, wringing his, hands. “My father used to tell me always to be a bull. Can’t you be a! bull for me?” ! “Well,” answered Mr. Sharp, “I hap- pen to have a good thing or two ln’ mind. Suppbse you try a flutter in oil. Then I know a nice mine out in Nevada that wants some capital to develop it. And then a half million or 80 in Mexican copper. I think I can give you a good run for your money, ACTORS’ CHURCH NOT KNOWN 8t. Paul's Covent Garden, Rich In Hle- toric Interest—Notables Buried There.

Then he took her in his arms, and when he left he was still dominating. That efterncon he went round to gee his lawyers. Sharp and Sharp were rogues. Old “Colonel” Alderson had known that and it had amused him, because he had them in his pow- to tell liam’s affairs. “Yes, Sharp and Sharp took every penny they could get their | hands on. 1 wish I'd intervened sooner. We've had them under ob- servation for months, but—well, we didn't think they'd get anybody to | fall for them like that.” ! “Hum!” said Bill, and put on his hat and walked round to see Miss Har greaves. “Louise, dear,” he observed, “I've lost every penny 1 bad.” “So Mr. Sunderland was telling me yesterday,” she answered. “What are you going to do, Bill?” “I'm going west,” he answered. “My father told me anybody can make money out west. 1 guess I'll have to make another fortune before I ask you to set the date for me. Will you wait, dear?” She looked at him in amazement. She had long known that it would be impossible ter her to marry Bill. She had tricd to tell him so five or six times, but each time he had so domi- nated her by his simplicity and can- dor and good nature that it had been ::’l:ilv “:"‘; ‘lli\l:;ldllxlx‘(‘;s? lxj:_)(lils}; ma:nm: Impu.':xult-“m make him understand. i Sadea And she flirted twice since they had i "I')Iv S( Loulse,” gaid Pill, peni- gastisnkagid) s aADIsuONALS wum}cd Rl At b ! her to wait!
