financial genius remarked railroad
clerk of this city. "He is a native of
California, and five or six years ago
he spent season on a sugar planta-
tion in Hawaii. He was engaged at
the time, and while he was there
he corresponded regularly with his
fiancee. Afterward they quarreled and
the match was broken off, but the poor
girl thought his letters were beauti-
full, and treasured them religiously.
Quite recently he saw~in a paper that
Hawaiian stamps of the period Of his
stay there had become very scare and
valuable, and he Immediately sat down
and wrote to his old sweetheart de-
manding his letters. He said he was
soon to be married, and felt it his duty
to destroy 'em; appealed to her bet
ter feelings and all that, and, to make
a long story short, she sent them back.

suspicious stains that looked like tears,
