The Inheritance which Fell to Bob-Taii

Car-Driyer,
 Bob, lend me a dollar" "
 "Certainly, Harry" And the money exchanged hands.
 This conversation took place on Wednesday morning, at about eight o'clock. The borrower awoke yes teroay morning without cent, and the dollar he obtained paid for his breakfast. At ten o'clock he was worth Sa9, 900.
 Again the vagaries of a Checkered career, the ups and downs of thls strange life, the sudden and unex- pected freak of fortune were exempli- fled.
 Harry Jones, the hero of this tale, IS a man well-born, who has seen much of what there is to see in life, and has sounded nearly the entire gamut of human experiences. He has know what 1t Is to have money and what is IS to be "dead broke, !" and perhaps from a knowledge of the delights of the good things of this world, has enjoyed spending money as much as any one could. He is about forty years old now, and al together his prospects at the outset in struggling for success and to make his mark were promising, founded upon his excellent education and brilliant talents, as well as energy and ambi ticn. He came to this coas, in early days and was ide.iuhed with the ex ploration and development of Arizo. na, where many a legend is recounted in which he figured conspicuously. His friends are strong and loyal, and have always been so, notwithstanding the fact that he has fallen in the so cial scale and has been frequently poverty stricken.
 For ten years he has been in Arizo. ma, where every one knows him. He was lawyer and acted as attorney for the Earp brothers when they were prosecuted for their murderouS ex ploits in Cochise county, Arlz., two years ago. These Tombstone troubles are fresh in the minds of every one in California. Jones was intimately connected with them. The fued be gan in 1881, when Billy Clanton and Thomas McLowry lost their lives, The Earp brothers numbered five James, Virgil, Wyatt, Morgan and Warren, and were pitt@d against the Claaton and McLowry gangs. The original cause of the fight was a dis Iute over the spells gained from q robbery of one of Wells, Fargo & Co. s stages, near Tombstone. Mur der followed upon murder, the most notorious being those of March, 1882, in which "Doc" Holiday, the rcua. der, Sherman Nc Masters and "Texa> Jack" were the principal participant. Finally both gangs were broken up. Warren Earp came to San Francisco and ran faro bank on Morton street until short time ago, when he wa; raded and his place closed up. lone: hobnobbed with all the rounders The Earps were gamblers and "short. card" men, and the cowboys anC Jones and the saloon keepers made 2 happy family. Harry was proud o his Southern blood, and seemed to be ever watching for some one to step or the tail of his coat.
 Eight months ago Jones drifted up to this city. In many ways he was a wreck of his former self. He had ceased to practice law and had lost his grip. Through the influences o old acqullntances he obtained a posi- tiOn as driver o,, q bohtoil cor ,,,, | z Omnibus railroad, and up to to day he has held the ribbons over the fiery untamed steed of that corporation ant gazed wlStfully upon the nickles th., fell into the cash box, revolving in his mind the proposition of how he was to make his next stake. Thi morning when he got up the darkes hour had arrived and he was obliged to go to work with an empty stomacl and an empty pocket. At 8 o'clock he saw his friend Bob O'Reilly, wht has had his high tides and bad lucl himself, and the conversation at tn, head of this article ems sled.
 At 10 o'clock Jones went to O'Reil ly and showed him letter from Nev York city, which had brought him ; thousand dollar check, and told hin fhe news that hiS m6ther had iuet d;ad
