folks did not come to grief, or die Of want
or remorse or anything OF the sort; on the
contrary, they appear to have prospered
above the average of mankind. But this
is one of the disadvantages of true story;
things work differently IN novels.
Equally romantic and far more interest
ing in it's appeal TO the sympathies is the
story of Paul Denton and his long, long
search and happy discovery of his girl
bride. One part of his account Is not well
authenticated and strikes the reader as
"fshy," but the rest is pretty clearly
proved Paul's parents died when he was
sixteen, and he left his home in Philadel-
phia to find rich uncle N California He
did not find him. but got a living job in a
counting house in san Francisco, where,
in 1873, he was astonished by the arrival of
an agent on the hunt for him, as his rich
uncle had died and left him $4,000.
a condition of the bequest was that he
should live in Denver with his aunt and
her adopted daughter till Of age, That
daughter, Bertha Ashwell, also was to re-
ceive $1,000 If she remained unmarried to
the age of twenty. This boy and girl fell
desperately in love, and married secretly to
save the $4,000, but three months later
Paul disappeared wSle with c party on
Pixies Peak. A body Tas found and buried
as his, but his present account is that he
was kidnapped and kept captive by q
band of Gypsies, who took him to British
Columbia There ne was 'shsnghajed'-
that is, drugged, and taken on whaler, the
Annie T, of Liverpool. In 1852 he was
paid off at that city and found himself OF
age, and for the first tine free man. Then
his hunt began
Reaching Denver he learned that he had
long been father; that his aunt had died
of grief, and that Miss Bertha Ashwel las
the people supposed her to be- had gone
east to hide her shame" He FASTENED to
Philadelphia and saw In Laurel Hill CEN
etery his own tombstone, recording that
he was born IN 1861 and died in 1879 And
now his task was doubled-to find his wife
and prove that he was the real Paul Den
ton. After three years search, supporting
himself by hard labor, he found that Ber-
tina Ashwoll had gone to Europe as com
psnion of an old lady. He also learned the
sad truth-that to save the sle,600 for her
boy she had not revealed her marriage,
To Europe he went, working his way
and found the wife mad returned to Amer
lea. From point to point he traced her,
and ct last, few weeks since, they were
joyousIy united IN San Francisco. But
where was his $40, 00s7 His aunt had taken
it as his heir, and on her death it went to
her relatives IN Scotland. So now he has
before him the task of proving up and re-
covering as much of it as possible He
has, however, the positive testimony Of his
wife and some documents, which his law
yer considers ample. So his little romance
will soon end, as all good romances should.
