whatever you ask"
"Whatever you ask" Could it
be possible ? Then he could get
the whole sum at once! But, no.
Perhaps this would seem too much
to pay. 'Twould do no harm to
ask, however, so he said, taking
the bundle and trudging bravely
along:
"Would ~ cents be too muCh?"
"Well, that's rather a queer
sum, but I think can stand it.
Why don't you make it an even
quarter, though ?"
Then Laddie told all about his
valentine plan, and the three cents
already in his pocket, and the
pretty card at the book store which
could be bought for a quarter.
The gentleman was very much in
terested and watched his little
companion closely as he went on.
At last, when Laddie stopped to
take breath, he said:
"Why don't you ask your papa
for the money!"
"Cause papa isn't here. He
never was here since I can remem-
Der, and l don't know if he's dead
or not, but mamma always cries
when she tells about him.
The gentleman stopped sud
denly, and looking eagerly into
Ladies' upturned face asked one
more question::
"What is your name?"
"Mamma calls me Laddie, but
my real name is Lawrence Ray
mond. That was papa's name"
Down went the load of bundles
on the pavement, and Laddie found
himself clasped close in the strong
arms of his new friend. He didn't
quite understand it nor why the
stranger almost sobbed as he said,
"My baby, my baby!" He hardly
liked that, and SO, Strengthening
himself up as tall as he could, he
said sturdily, "I'm 7!''
eyes, yes, little man" laughed
the gentleman, "out you used to
be my baby, and l have come back
to you. Now, let's hurry to mamma
as fast as we cam"
"Without the valentine?" said
Laddie, hardly realizing the truth
as yet.
"We'll get her one tomorrow,
dear, the finest one in town, but
now show me the way home and
tell me all about her."
So they hurried toward the hum
BILE house, Laddie telling about
mammals troubles as we'll as he
knew how and listening to bits of
papa's strange story, which sounded
almost as wonderful as Robinson
Crusoe. At last they reached the
door, and Laddie rushed in, cry
ing excitedly:
"Mamma, it's come back-the
valentlne-pap a-22 cents-oh,
dearw
Mamma gave a start and JOY
full cry. Then suddenly Laddie
found himself once ore warmly

his hand on the little fellows
shoulder and said, "See here, my
boy, there are some very pretty
valentines on this shelf for so
cents, and here are some nice ones
for only 25."
Laddie frightened and then be-
gan choosing among the cheaper
ones until he remembered that
even IS cents was large amount
when ones entire fortune consisted
of three coppers. He suddenly
looked up and said:
"a fellow couldn't earn ~ cents
between now and tomorrow, could
he p
"'Why, 1 dare say he might, by
trying hard," answered the clerk
cheerfully. '"There's quite good
bit to be earned sometimes by car
rying peoples satchels from the
station"
So quite hopefully our little man
sped away in the direction of the
Western station. AS he neared
the place he saw that the train had
already come in, for numbers of
people were hurrying toward town
in carriages or on foot Very few
of the latter, however, appeared
to have much to carry, and at first
there seemed no chance of getting
job. But as he saw big, good
natured looking fellow carrying
small valise, he accosted him
eagerly:
"Don't you want me to carry
your baggage, sir, please ?"
The man looked down at the
bit of humanity before him and
then at his valise. Then he laughed
long and loud, shaking so that
Laddie felt as though an earth
quake were convulsing the pave
ment beneath him. At last the
man found breath to say:
"Well, little fellow, l don't see
that need much help with this
thimbleful of baggage, but that
man who has just passed has lot
to carry. Maybe he'll hire you"
Before the sentence was finished
off darted the boy so fast that he
overlook the heavily laden traveller
and fairly tangled himself in the
long overcoat as he said:
evil you please let me carry
this biggest satchel ? I'll do it
cheap!"
This man did not laugh-at least
not aloud-and Laddie felt en-
couraged, though the satchel
looked rather formidable.

stranger, .'you don't look as though

"You needn't tender me any more
of it in that way" remarked the nep-

This ribaldry was trowned upon
by the rest OF the company, who were

seized the turkeys leg with an iron

motion, and when he had found his
voice, said, feelingly:

 February last I met at San Felipe
 Jesus Feliz, A. A. and ID. Alvarado and from the former | learned that he and his party had been in the mountains four months looking for the long lost Santa Isabel mission without success. He said he had been hunting for the mission off and on since 1892. In July of that year t'eliz and Bonita Lesena left California and went south to San Felipe. There they filled their canteens and kept on the south. They travelled two days, when their water gave out. They continued their journey for two days along the coast without water and when nearly dead of thirst they saw a schooner catching seals off Seal Island. distance of about four miles from shore. Don FeliZ undressed and pro- curing long pole to buoy him up he l started to swim to the schooner. Six teen hours later he stood on the deck of | the schooner.

 Refusing to Take Something

 NEW YORK, April 2-Jim Corbett, his
 manager and B party of friends were dining in restaurant on Broadway
 night before last when Young Griffo en-
 tered and, walking up to Corbett, asked
 him to take something. Corbett de-
 clined and turned hls back on Griffo.
 Griffo would not be ignored, and at trscTed Corbett's attention by saying: ''It takes us Australians to do up you chumps. Peter Jackson can do you and
 1 can stand you off for four rounds my self"
 To this Corbett retorted: Here, you little whipper snapper, go about your
 business, if you have any, or I'll break ly you in two"
 Griffo's response was blow aimed at Corbett's jaw. Jim stopped it. and then
 with his open hand he slapped Griffo on the face SO strongly that he knocked hun on the floor. COrbett was very angry, and stooping down be attempted to pick GriffO up that he might slap him again. As he did so Griffo kicked the champion on the jaw. Corbett fell back and bis
 head struck the rim of an iron cuspi- dore. Brady and Billy Delaney picked him up unconscious. The cut from the fall, back Of his right ear, bled freely. Messengers were dispatched for Dr. Bryant, but Corbett soon revived and went to a drug store ard had bis wound dressed. Griffo and his companions made their escape into hack and were driven away.

A BIG MINING DEAL.
The Old Desert Changed Hands Yes
 terday.
Republican.

An extensive mining deal involving a sum of money reaching way up toward SIX figures was consummated yesterday.
 John Lewellen and c. J. Kimball disposed of bond on the Old Desert mine to James Wakeman of Counecti- cut, retaining 8 one-third interest in property. They bonded the mine only three months ago. The deal just closed has been pending for several weeks.
 The Cid Desert lies about eight miles north of the Bonanza. It was located about twelve years ago and a great deal of work has been done on it since. There is said to be now not less than POO, 900 tons of ore in sight. The ore is partly free-milliDg, partly concentrating and very rich. A mill will be erected at once. Enough power will be arrang- ed to run 50 or 100 stamp mill though SO many stamps will not be employed in the beginning.
 MT. Wakeman, the purchaser, IS al | ready interested in dividend paying properties in Colorado where he ha: been operating for several years. The | transaction is said to be the heaviest consummated in this part of the terri tory since the sale of the Bonanza two
 years ago.
 | Mining men more intimately acquain ted with this property say they believe that development will show it to be on'
 of the richest and most extensive mine
 in the United States.
