Where Did We Get That Hat?

Why, our esteemed friend Harry c..
Nicely sent it. of course. MIR. Nicely
who is with the old and well-known
hat house of Eli Keen's Sons, Phila-
delphia, never forgets the editor, and
his remembrance was again manifest
ed few days ago when he sent new

rial brains. 1t is not very large hat,
but it is sufficient for the purpose.
May Mr.. Nicely never be without a
hat himself nor his shadow grow less.

With wild shrek he fell on the plat
form. The gateman tossed him over the
railing to the street below. There they
gathered him up and took him to the
Seventeenth Precinct police station.
Nearly three years had rolled away.
During all this time Dollinger had not
heard one word of his daughter or Ar
thur Graves. He knew nothing of their
whereabouts. But he was still the same
cold, naughty, proud Dollinger. He
still scorned to buy chestnuts of the man
on the corner or give the faintest tip on
the stock market to his footman. The
same coachman, wearing the same boots,
drove him away at the same hour, in the
same carriage, drawn by the same
horses, with the same straining evil
dence that they had mislaid their
tails somewhere in England. Dollinger
was the same, only perhaps little cold
er, little harder, little more calcu-
lating.
One day he was sitting in his office
looking over the mail when he came to
letter from man named c. III. Har-
vey, who lived in Colorado and had a
little mining scheme. 1t struck Dol
linger as being good thing, and he
wrote to the man about it. Harvey sent
long letter in reply, saying that he had
the biggest gold mine in Colorado, and
he wanted to sell it cheap, because he
didn't have the capital to work it. Dol
linger concluded to go out to Rainbow
City, where the mine was located, and
see about it,
The man Harvey, who was quite
pleasant appearing and wore full beard,
met him at the station and took him di-
rectly to his mine, which was on the out
skirts of town. 1t was only hole in
the ground, with rope and windlass
with box on the end of the rope. Dol
linger and his mining friend got in the
box and the hired man let them down.
Dollinger didn't notice the little pieces
of red yarn tied on the rope, but the
nlreu man ulu, DeCduS0 UndU was WIdC
he was paid for, and every time he came
to one of them as the rope unwound he
stopped so Harvey and Dollinger could
sample the walls of the shaft and see
how rich it was. Harvey showed Dol
linger a million dollars worth of gold
every time they stopped, and they
stopped five times; and when they got
to the surface Dollinger offered two
millions for the mine. Harvey looked
as if he hated to, but at last he took it.
He was modest man and only called it
FL Dorado Golconda mine, and Dollinger
hired him at one thousand dollars a
month to superintend it, and started
East.
Dollinger soon found that Ell Dorado
Golconda was somewhat expensive. He
sent a big draft to Harvey for ma
chinery, labor, etc., by every mail. The
first thing he knew he had all the mon
ey he had in his mine. Still his man
ager kept calling for more. Pretty soon
he got letter from Rainbow City
lawyer named Snatchem, saying that
there was big mortgage on his mine
before he bought it which must be set
tied. So he sent on the deed to Lis
