BAILEY & COLBY, Electrical Contractors Residence Phone 26.H-I. Office Phone o- I lived lu a gold mlalug region where grout deal of usmiylna needed to be Uuuo and, being a cliemlut, set up an estiibllsliiueut where I could do tbls and other work pertaining to uiluea. My ,luce was a receptacle for gold dust, large quantities of which were left with uie continually. Mis itebecca Wright, my typewrit er, was a very circumspect young lady I attempted occasionally to joke with her, but met with uo response. On ouo or two occasions I ventured to say something a bit tender to her, but met with no encouragement But when man s mind U set on producing re sults, especially with a woman', he will not let up until he has accomplished them or Is obliged to give it up. What I wished, all I wished at least, at first was to see Miss Wright show a con sciousness of my admiration and some appreciation of the fact. llut something bnppened which led me to forget Miss Wright and any one else except one unknown person. That person was getting away with gold dust In sufficient quantities to ruin me if the leakage continued. No great quantity was taken at one time. Indeed, what I missed at a weighing had but the value of a few dollars. But I missed these small amounts continually. I had nothing laid up, and the amounts I was losing made up an accumulating debt. I set a watch on every one connected with the establishment except Miss Wright. I did not proose to huve any one spy upon a girl who hud every evidence of rectitude. Then the stealing ceased for awhile. I began again to think of my stenogra pher und. yielding to pique, reconv nienced my eftorts to break through that iciness which characterized all her actions toward me. She accepted my attentions, but passively. She even permitted me to retain her hand when I took it In mine on meeting her after a brief abseuce. Matters pro grossed between us until I came to driving her out occasionally. I was not especially In love with her, though I might have been had she received my attentions more warmly. It was with me rather a mutter of curiosity, though since I lived a lonely life In a country where there was little of wo man's society I often thought of mar rying Miss Wright, if I could gain her i-onseut, for the sake of a home. Then suddenly the leakages in gold dust recommenced. I charged several persons In my employ with being the thief, hoping that some one of them would brenk down under the accusa tion and confess. Among others I ac cused the woman who kept my prem ises In order. She turned on me like a fury: "If ye want to know where yer gold dust is goiu' I'll tell ye. The young leddy you're drlvln out and savin' sweet things to is relievln' ye of It." I w as too indignant to ask her a sin gle question as to what ground she based her charges upon. Indeed, I feared Miss Wright might hear her, and to be charged with such a crime would break her heart. I therefore dismissed the allegation with contempt and from that time felt more tender than ever toward the Injured girl. Indeed, I was daily becoming more and more inclined to enter Into a mat rimonial partnership with Miss Wright. I grew more and more demonstrative, in many ways Indicating my Intention. Miss Wright's demeanor underwent no change. She would permit me to en circle her waist, to kiss her; but, as for responding, she made no response whatever. I confess that this excited my amour propre, though at times I felt Inclined to cease my demonstra tions, feeling that I might as well caress n stone. One evening I was sitting on a sofa beside Miss Wright, our heads very near together. I asked her why she was so unresponsive. She said she didn't know; she had always been called undemonstrative. I wished to propose to her, but she was so cold that I couldn't bring myself to do so. Though my arm was about her waist and her head rested on my shoulder, still there was no love current running between us. ! That night on taking off my coat I ! saw something glitter on its shoulder. I I recognized particles of gold dust. It RtrnfTc me at once that the particles ; were where Miss Wright's head had been. Then a terrible thought came to me. Was the woman I was thinking of making my wife n thief? Was she : carrying awny the dust in her hair? I did not sleep much that night and I the next day went away for a brief seoson. employing a woman to spy on , Miss Wright. When I returned my de j tective reported that every night the Itlrl washed her hair and poured off the water in the bowl, leaving a sediment. which she scraped together nnd put In a little box Not for worlds would I expose one whom I hail so nearly asked to be my wife. I went away again, leaving a hoto for her Informing her of my dis covery and telling her not to let me find her w hen I returned. I have trlinl In vain to make up my mind to propose to some other woman. My mind has been so warped with this ono experience - the narrowness of my escape from marrying a thief that I am forced to be unjust to the rest. Perhaps some day I sholl renMy fall In love, ami that will end my suspicions. VOOLMEN'S MEETING CASHMERE TO HAVE WILL BE BIG EVENT When the annuiil convention of the National Wool Growers)' Association opens in 1'ortlund January 4, It will be the biggest uml most Important gathering of sheep raisers In America for yearn.
