thought that he would give up the place

night the senator-elect. declared that it
was his intention to resign but so many
of his friends have come to him he has
been persuaded not to do so.

another city election will be held. so

he indulged freely, though rarely to ex-
cess. He was jolly reticent and lavish.
Thus the years rolled by. Jenkins
never referred to his life '.back in the
states" and seemed to have no acquaint-
anceS who had known him before he
reached the coast. He was, however, al
ways willing to talk of the west, of the
slope, of 1.-The days of Old the days of
gold" and all that sort of thing. 1t was
not deemed polite to ask him and he car.
ried his secret we'll.
There was, however, one man in San
Francisco who had known Jenkins In
Ohio. This man Jenkins occasionally
visited for years, but latterly saw only
when the latter visited him.
Redding, where jenkins was consid-
cred character, was panied and
startled when it became known that the
old man was dead. No one was with
him when he died for he lived absolutely
alone, did his own cooking and his own
washing. tended his bar himself, and of
late rarely went out of the house. His
body was found on the floor of his sleep
ing room by an early customer. who was
surprised to find the place closed long
after Jenkins usual hour for opening.
This was on October II.

in defamation and debate. In the de-
bates which We're carried on in So
ciety of young people, Harrison met Miss
Scott, and the attraction arose which
later on resulted in their marriage.
Jenkins, unaware that Miss Scott had
practically promised to marry Harrison,
still nursed his passion, despite rather
cold treatment upon the part OF Miss
Scott. This went on until the night of
Miss Scott's appearance in the COM

Jenkins made the bewildering discovery

TROUBLES OF A SENATOR,

Senator-elect j. NJ. Kennedy declares
that his life has been a burden since the
9th day Of last November Not a min
ute's peace has he had, nor does he ex-
pect any until the next Legislature meets
and settles down to business
Not single day passes without some
faithful ''fusionist'' who believes his
party owes him something for his past
services. swoops down upon the senator
and strikes him for a job Of some sort.
If it isn't that, it's something else and
SO it is that Anaconda's stateman has
been caused to pass through many sleep
less nights
Somesof the followers of the mixed
politics which played a part in the last
campaign, are still inclined to think that
Kennedy has ''barrell cached away
somewhere and that they can get at the
contents just as easily now as they could
before election when it was wide open.
But those who have tried Kennedy on
that score lately have changed their
minds; they say it's all a dream, that he
isn't to be touched any more.
Job hunters have been the source of as
much annoyance to the senator as those
who struck him for money. From all
parts of the state have come appiica-
tions for places ranging from janitor in
state public buildings up to state bank
examiner. One day last week his mail
contained thirty-nine letters all appiica =
tions, all from anxious office seekers. lie

But before he left the office he had
learned that Mary Lincoln was the cause
of his exposure, and had put the matter
before the commissioner in such a way
that her suspension was ordered.
Il am sorry" said the commissioner
but removing the office files even for
a good end is too serious a matter to be
overlooked. You should have reported
the case to me-"
Jameson went back to the office to
thank Mary Lincoln the next day. He
heard of her suspension, learned her
address and called on her at her home,
You shall not suffer- he said. Il will
make you rich when my invention is sold.
You shall have half of all make by it,
Mary Lincoln protested. But by the
time the company which gave Jameson
half million dollars for a controlling
interest in his patent had been organ
lzed, his feeling of gratitude had grown
to be something stronger And as that
stronger feeling was recprocated. Mary

Margaret theater, Jan. End, begins at the

The story that furnishes the groundwork
of the play is simple, but original, yet
despite its simplicity there is rot dull

that fact that there is no Brown" in the

Stunned by his discovery, despite the
fact that 1t was not altogether unex-
pected, Jenkins turned back to Califor-
mia. He ventured again into mining,
generally with success, but the gold he
gained was of less value to him than the
excitement of getting it. His generosity
became a proverb. He wandered and
turned about from one place to another,

he put them both aside to think out at

to make invention profitable. one of

what was wanted most by people in

and invent that. He had been studying
