by John Romersa. Sydney Fox, an at

the vicinity of which Andrews ranged
his cattle. About dusk last evening
Romersa, who is an Italian Office boy
in the employ of Fox, and accompany

the cabin, exclaiming in great excite

shot through the heart and dead.
Andrews had been pulling up some
radishes in the garden and in the
gloom had been mistaken for bear.
Inc coroner and several friends Of the

but when they came to clean up the
sluice boxes the cleanup was invari-
ably a disappointment.
This state of affairs continued un-
til they arrived at the conclusion that
their boxes were being tampered with.
One cold night in November Bryant
concluded to do a little detective
work and see if their suspicious were
we'll founded. He took station
about SO yards from the boxes and
waited.
He had not been there long when he
saw a Chinaman with a candle in one
hand and -four sack in the other get
into the boxes and begin to clean them
up. Bryant took aim at the candle
and fred. The man disappeared.
1t was calculated that during the
season he had robbed the boxes of
about $1,000 and ne got away with
every cent of it. His method was to
go at night with -four sack and a
small scoop shovel and take the
amalgam from the end of the rifles
after days sluicing, return to his
cabin and wash it out at his leisure.
In day or so, when the excite
ment had somewhat subsided, min
ers' meeting was called and it was de-
termined that the Chinese must go.
They were given just one hour in
which to get their belongings together
and before the expiration of the GO
minutes they were gone and none
have ventured here since.

COULD NOT GET A BALANCE.

It is related that when Rudyard Kip
ling lived in America he tried sys-
tenn of paying all household expenses
in checks. Naturally those checks
varied in amount, most of them being
small-the majority were about dol
lar or so. Butchers bills, grocery
bills, were settled promptly in this
fashion and of course Mr. Kipling's
check book at home provided him
with an accurate account of expendi-
ture. But when he sent in the bank
book monthly to be examined the re-
suit would never balance. He invari
ably found that the amount to his
credit was greater than il ought to be,
and he tried to persuade himself that
this was owing to his own defective
bookkeeping or his own bad head for
figures.
It was only by accident that he dis
covered the secret. Many of the
small checks were never presented
at all; their value as autographs was
greater than their bank value. Trades
men sold them to customers at a pro-
fit. Instead of finding their way to
the bankers the cnecks were careful.
