The sole question in his mind Is Did they
have good timer"
Years ago, during the great Leadville
rush, he was proprietor of the Grand
Central hotel there. OF course, there
were lots of his old companions who
hadn't cent Walsh with his big, gem
erous heart had room for them all, mon
ey or no money, the worst word in his
mouth for them was: Welcome and well
come again" The Leadville camp of to-
day is changed, but the men who knew
Walsh them still know him now, and at
his princely home in Washington no one
is more welcome to put their feet under
his table than these old friends of the
West. He takes them into his family
most cordially, and they are given TO full
ly understand that they are thrice well
come In the metropolitan city.
= 1t is said of him that he never forgets
a friend or a service and his wealth has
never turned his head. Prosperity has
smiled, and he smiles back, and is trying
to make the world around him better,
brighter and happier, filing in just as
full Of sunshine generous open heart
can 90.
He is assisted in this noble work by his
wife. They have been married twenty
one years, and she was before her mar
riage Miss Carrie Reed, of Southern Wis
consin. Mrs. Walsh possesses the same
warm nature of her husband and what
he does not happen to think of doing she
is sure to suggest.
The success of Mr.. Walsh can hardly be
attributable to luck, but rather to his
own hard work and enterprise. He has
never had any sympathy with idleness,
having continually recognized the dignity
and desserts of honest labor He was
born IN Tipperary Ireland, in 1851, where,
after receiving fair education. he work
ed for several years as a millwright He
came to America and settled in 1870 at
Worcester, Mass. for a few years. Then
he came to Colorado, and was a carpen-
ter and building contractor at the new
camp of Central City. He had always
been interested IN mining, and from this
time on he began TO study up the subject
during his spare time, but he never
dreamed Of 1T being his high road to
great fortune.

he gave big affair twice every summer
at the Beaumont, and there he entertain

YOU" said Gray, after another search.
He needs you on those papers"
And when the officer of the guard
returned to the guardhouse and went
in to the prisoner, the sergeant saw
and others saw-that, rolled in the
soldiers overcoat he carried on his
arm, was a bundle done up in news
paper. Moreover, scrap of conver-
sation was overheard.
There's no one at the generals, +"
said the officer. Il see no way of-tix-
ing it before morning"
MY God, lieutenant! There-must
be some way out of it! The morning
will be too late"
"Then I'll do what I can for you to-
night" said Mr.. Gray, as he turned
and hurriedly left the guardroom-a
dozen men standing stiffly about the
walls and doorway and staring with
impassive faces straight to the front
Again, the young officer had left the
post of the guard and gone up into
camp, while far and near through the
dim, fog-swept aisles of a score of
camps the bugles and trumpets were
wailng the signal for flights out" and
shadowy forms, with coat collars
turned up about the ears or capes muf
fed around the neck, scurried about
the company streets ordering laughter
and talk to cease. a covered carriage
was standing at the curb outside the
officers gate-and the sentry there
posted remembered that the officer of
the guard came hurrying out and
asked the driver if he was engaged
I'm waiting for the major" was the
answer.
''Well, where can one order a car
riage tonight without going clear to
town." inquired Gray. Il want-one;
that isl wish to order one at once"
And the driver, who knew very well
there were several places where car
riages could be had, preferred loyalty
to his own particular stable away in
town, and so declared there was none.

wish, sir" he added.
''And wait till morning for it to get

And that he did get it somehow was

for the sentries on the guardhouse side
of camp swore that closed carriage
drove down from McAllister street for

of the wheels through the rough, loose

day ought not to make so great a diff
ference. What could be the reason
if it were not that, though innocent of
the robbery of the storehouse, or of
completely in the sale of stolen goods,
some other crime lay at his door which
the morrow might disclose? All the
loyalty of a Delta Sig was stretched to
the swapping point as Gray paused ir-
resolute in front of the adjutant's tent,
his quest there unsuccessful. The
sergeant major and a sorely badgered
regimental papers-things that Nor
ton wrote out easily and accurately.
Il suppose, sir, it's no use asking to
have the prisoner sent up here under
guard" said that jewel of non-com-
missioned officer. Yet the colonel will
be savage if these papers amt ready.
1t will take us all night as things are
going"
Gray shook his curly head. ''Go ask,
to help you"
Has he been drinking, sir?" said the
sergeant major, in surprise. II never
knew him"
"Oh, it isn't that" said Gray, hastily,
only he's-he's got-other matters Oh
his mind! Bring me his overcoat lie
said it was in his tent" and the young
officer ierlied his head at the patch of
little "A" tents lined up in the rear of
those of the officers.
''Get Morton's oyercoat and take it
to him at the guardhouse," snapped the
staff sergeant to the clerk. BE spry
now, and no stopping on the way
back" he added, well aware how much
in need his assistant stood of creature
comfort of some surreptitious and for
hidden kind. The man was back in
a moment, the coat rolled on his arm.
"Ill take it," said Gray, simply.
You needn't come"
GO on with it," ordered the ser
geant as the soldier hesitated. Dye
the service has gone to the devil and
officers are runnin' errands for enlist
ed men? An get back inside two min
utes, too," he added, with portent in
his tone. The subaltern of hardly two
months service felt the implied rebuke
of the soldier of over 90 years and
meellly accepted the amendment, but
"a thought occurred to him: He had
promised Morton paper envelopes and
stamps and the days newspapers-the
lad seemed strangely eager to get all
the latter, and vaguely Billy remem-
berd having heard that Canker consid-
cred giving papers to prisoners as
equivalent to aid and comfort to the
enemy.
"Take it by way of my tent" said he
as they started, and, once there it took
