Dorothy Creede, infant heiress to an
old mans millions, will come into full
possession of her fortune in twenty
years, "if she has led proper and vir-
tuous life"
Five of these years have already
passed over Baby Dorothy's head. 1t
Is a lucky head the luckiest in all
California, and one of the prettiest as
we'll. 1t is covered with curling mass
Of fine, soft hair. Helene and Cleopat-
Pa and other sirens of other centuries
are declared to have possessed just
such hair as made Dorothy heiress to
the Creede millions For it was the
Titan tint of the little ones tresses
that caught the fancy of childless
Nicholas Creede in Los Angeles four
years ago; caught his fancy and held
it by thousand glittering threads
while the sweet dimpled face with its
rare red-gold aureole won his heart.
Dorothy was the only being on earth
whom Nicholas Creede loved when he
died She had become more precious
to him than the gold for which he had
toiled, and the silver for which he had
delved deep in the Colorado mountains.
And when he loosed his hold on life
and the riches that had Knocked him

them. Dorothy was the only object to

For year she had brought sunlight
into his chill. hard life. One year he
had known the joy of teaching lisping
lips to say Papa" of feeling the dear
embrace of baby arms about his neck,
the satin touch of baby lips upon his
rough miners cheek, the strangely
strong clasp of babys tiny, fragile
fingers instinctively clinging around
his own. For twelve months Dorothy
had been his legally adopted daughter.
Some time during that last year of
his on earth Millionaire Creede made
a will. Prompted by his alteration of
the child, whom he could scarcely bear
to have out of his sight, the natural
anxiety of doomed man looking into
the uncertain future of beautiful girl
for whose fate he felt fathers respon-

1t was lucky day for Baby Dorothy
when the rich man who lived in the
big, handsome house next door, looked
through the window when the sun
beams were frolicking with her Titan
tressed little head. the while the young
mother taught her to put her rose-leaf
feet one before the other upon the gold

Took Him At His Word.

"Men on newspapers often have
peculiar experiences" said W. A. Fair
child Of Chicago, land such a one be-
fell a friend of mine some time ago.
The friend in question was city editor
Of great daily, and in the course Of
his manifold duties it fell to his lot to
take to task one Of his reporters. The
reporter in question was an English
han, slow of thought and action and
misery of speech. Through the TRADE
to which he was subjected he said
nothing, and when it finally ended he
left the presence Of his superior with
out any comment.
But, as the result proved, he did
some tall thinking. City editors when
'riled.' as is well known, are not par
ticularly choice or economical in the
language they bestow OH their unfor-
tunate reporters, and among other
things the Englshman had been told
that he was no better than-in fact
was-a crazy man and that his proper
habitat was lunatic asylum and not
the hall bedroom of Chicago board
ing house which he occupied.
''The Englshman took this part Of
the city editors remarks as his text and
acted upon them. He promptly went
to an asylum, had himself thoroughly
examined by three or four alienists
and secured from them an official GER
tifcate to the fact that he was sane.
With this he appeared ut the Office of
his paper the next day, and, entering
the EDITORS sanctum, he slapped it
down before his astonished and dis
mayed superior. Now, you 60 and get
one,' was his only comment and for
once that city editor capitulated."
