go Fifteen thousand dollars was too
much money to let 20 by. 1t Was more
than he could earn i'm several years OF
work at the salary he was getting. while
il I got il I would then have enough To
start some good business, settle down and
live like a respectable gentleman. Al

time I seldom let him get ont of my sight,

ssNell.t to make n long story short, ne
went to New York and put up at one of
the best hotels. I had the next room to
from there. and then, after a few days of
stGht-ss.einR, he started back Tor the little
Colorado city. During all his time had
no chance To get at the money, although /
knew he had Il with him all the time, Ar
rived home. however. he was not 80 vigil
away in u small safe i'm his house.
The first time he was home was the
only time that l could get the coin, for I
or "a part of il the next day. So after the
lights were put out and everything became
quiet i'm his house I entered through one of
the windows, and going to the safe ! had

was the money in crisp; new bank notes,
pocket. and leaving the house caught the
night express for the east, and was miles
away before the ex-chief of police discov-
cred his loss, and Ill bet the little Colora-
do city did not contain a madden man
than he was when he discovered IT,"
" He stopped there said the narrator,
land l thought he had finished, but after
"A he went OH: Il brought all the
money East, intending to divide il evenly
with the widow of my old pal, hut when I
arrived here ! found that she also had
died, and SO the whole of the big lottery
prize fell to me. and l think 1 worked
hard for il, don't you"
There, that is the story just AZ ] heard
il from the lips of the man himself: He
is u respected citizen i'm one of the large
cities in New York state, and not one
man i'm 5000 who knows him knows how
he got his start OH the light road"
