My poor little girl." gasped old Tom

"Oh. I don't mind that. dad. I'll get
along." v
Sallie Conyers burled her father and
packed up their belongings ready to
leave the old cabin, near the mine in
which all his hopes had been centered.
She found a will drawn some time be
fore, but now there appeared to be no
occasion for a will. Then she went
down to Colorado Springs, where she
bad an aunt to whom she could look
for guidance.
When her father died Sallie was six
teen. A year later a vein was discov
ered in the mine in which she still had
an Interest, A dividend was declared
that gave her $1,000. which by the
terms of the will she could not have
till she was twenty -one years old. But
the vein soon died out. and the Con
yers mine was abandoned.
Two. years later a couple of specu
lators bought the property for a soug.
wiped out the old stock and organized
a company called : the ' Hope' Mining
company.
Meanwhile Sallie Conyers was earn
ing her living in Colorado Springs.
When she was twenty she became en
gaged to a clerk In a bank with a sal
ary so infinitesimal that matrimony
between the two seemed but a multi
plication of their- troubles. But the
day was approaching when Sallie
would come into her $1,000, and that
would enable them to set up in a small
way at housekeeping.
The day she was paid the money be
gan happily and ended in misery. Wil-
lard Stearns, her lover, had been long
looking for the day when they should
be married. Now, when "the money
was paid, Sallie told him that she pro
posed to invest It in the stock of the
Hope Mining company. He looked at
her aghast .. . V'

erty." she said, "and know something
about what they are doing. My fa

He used to talk to me about it because

happen, a rich lode will be struck."
She got out her father's old maps.

no interest in the angle at which the
Sanborn lode dipped nor In the depth
at which it crossed the Conyers. A
gold mine to him meant a capacious
maw capable of swallowing vthe hard
earned money ' of simple minded peo
ple. He told Sallie that if he married
her he had the prospect of living with
a woman who had Inherited a specu
lative mania. He preferred to go
through life alone.
Sallie tearfully . accepted , the situa
tion. The next day she visited the
mine and ' Introduced herself to the
superintendent of the boring gang as

was very kind to her. answered all her
questions, but showed no expectation
of - striking paying dirt. Indeed. ; he
told ber that be expected soon to aban
don the work. Sallie asked him how
deep was the bole. He told ber It was
1,400 feet. . "Promise' me that you
won't stop till you have gone 200 feet
farther." she said. "Why so?" "Be
cause you'll strike a rich vein at 1,500
feet"
He gave the promise, and Sallie re
turned to Colorado Springs. The next
day she went to a broker and asked
the market , price of . Hope Mining
shares. They told, her that there had
not been a quotation for months, but If
2 or 3 cents were offered it .would
bring all she might wish to buy. She
authorized them to offer 2 cents
share for as much as $1,000 would pur
chaser The offer was made and $50,-
000 par value of the stock secured.
Old Conyers bad expected to make a
strike at from 1.450 to 1,500 feet. Sal
lie waited a week in 'a terrible sus
pense. She had absolute confidence In
her father's expectations, but her
$1,000 was backing these expectations.
The next day, looking at the quota
tions of Hope stock, she was astound
ed to see that it bad been run up to 50
bid and few sales. The vein had been
struck, the stock became worth $2 a
share, and Sallie was rich.
Willard Stearns kept away from Sal-
He from the day he told her he- would
not marry one who bad inherited a
mania for speculation. One day he
beard of a great rise in Hope Mining
company stock and saw an item in a
newspaper stating that the daughter
of Conyers. who--formerly' owned the
mine, bad a large block of the stock.
His heart for a moment seemed to
cease to beat.' He hoped Sallie would
send for ' him. But she didn't. He
wrote ber a note congratulating ber on
ber good fortune and received a very
kind reply. This encouraged him, and
be sought to renew the engagement. ;
"No," she said, ;your reasons were

them. Tou and ) are made of differ
