habltatlon and new character.
In his new home, chastened by adVersity,

varied experience of his eventful career,
Johnny Steele deserves credit and respect
for the conduct of his later years.
The wife whom he abandoned in the
Hush of the golden dream of his earlier
years has forgiven him, and to-day they
live happily together, forgetful of the past,
hopeful of the future. Johnny Steele had
great faults. He would have been more
than man if he had not. But he was
honest, truthful, generous and always
loyal to his friends. His course since the
baubIe of riches foated beyond his reach,
has been that of man from whose eyes
the scales have fallen away, and who is
determined to redeem himself as far as en-.
ergy, economy and honest toll will permit.
The rumor of his arrest upon o criminal
charge is false, and he's its rise either in
ignorance or malice.
The story Of Johnny Steele's career still
casts halo of romance over the hills and

their rivers of oil, and the memories of
the early days still feed the flames of am.
