Clarence Diegal entered Golden the
second day after Christmas. IL was
early in the forenoon and his appear

lington, and introducing himself, took
seat in the Office and made himself as
agreeable as young man Of somewhat

Doctor offered him cigar, which he
took with Well-bTed concession, but

rolled cabbage leaf people OF no finan-

knowledge of its sickening cheapneSs
had destroyed Clarence's enjoyment OF
his weed a conversation occurred with
which, and not with smokers goods, is
our present business.
"You have come to arrange that
mortgage on the opera house l pre-
sume?" said the Doctor interroga-
lively.

after it," said Clarence. 81 can't say
as to arranging it; that will be for the
company to decide after shall have
