1t was early when Bob got up
next morning-so early that there
was only a very faint tinge of light
in the east, but he hadn't slept :,
wink, so it was as good as tossing
about for another hour or so.
He unattached the door at the
shanty as noiselessly as he could
for fear of waking Sam, who was
snoring away on his back, and slip

to have a last look around, and
straighten things up for his going

Although he had gone out SO
quietly, the click of the latch had
been enough for Sam, who awoke
to find himself laughing, positive

He didn't get UP Immediately,
but lay there planning out his flu
ture happiness. He was sorry,
very sorry for Beauty, but perhaps
the nugget would be some con-
ISOLATION to him; besides, he didn't
think Bob liked the girl as much
as he did.
Quite an hour passed before he
dressed himself, bit smarter than
usual, and went out. He even
picked little yellow flower that
was growing among the grass by
the side of the track and put it in
his buttonhole.
He had been walking for some
time, now and then breaking into
song in his deep, rough voice, and
hardly noticing where he vent

by Peep Hollow, some way out Of
the camp; so he sat down with his
back against a big pine and lit his
pipe.

ears to listen.

kissed it and slipped into the front
of her blouse, then, turning from
the path, cut through the pines.
Sam had stopped his song to
listen, and it was some moments
before he thought of getting up
to follow her, but he did after a
time, and tried to make out the
way she had gone.
He had been breaking through
the underground for a few min
utes when he saw something on
the ground few yards ahead.

Sam to himself, so he forced his
way through to the spot where it
lay. 1t was face downward-he
picked it up and turned it over
it was Beaut's.
Sam let it fall with half-stifled
cry and put his hand to his throat,
then kicked his way out to the
track again and made for the
shanty.
He met two or three of the boys
who were off to work, but he never
raised his head to their greetings.
Reaching the hut he pushed the
door open and stumbled in. Bob
hadn't returned (his things were
SELL unpacked); he took long
time to say good-by to his friends.
Sam dropped into chair, and
stared hard at the door-then he
jumped up and rummaged in the
room for something and returned
to the table with dirty piece of
paper and little stump of pencil
He sat down, and then, with his
great heart like a lump OF lead,
wrote, in very illegible hand:

DANIELS WAS SURPRISED.
Didn't Expect to See Topeka People
Shine in New York.

An interesting story has reached To-
pe1a from New York city. That a great
many Topeka people visit the metropo-
lis annually tor a portion of the season
at least, is not generally known. But it
is fact however, that Topeka people
have quite a prominent part in social
as well as financial and business cir
Giles of the great city. And this is
story of how Frank Daniels, the actor
that is so popular with Topeka audi
ences was made to realize it.
One evening when the curtain went
up on Daniels Miss Simplicity during
his New York enga cement, Mr.. Daniels
attention was called to a box party that
was spread through three of the boxes
on the lower floor to the right hand of
the stage. The ladies were pretty and
beautifully gowned in dresses of the lat
est mode, and the gentlemen of the par
~ were faultleSsly attired and groom
ed. Mr. Daniels noticed that from the
beginning of the performance the people
who were included in the box parry took
more than an ordinary interest in the
performance 1t was during the time
Howard Lawrence, the Topeka actor,
was with the comic opera king. and at
the right moment he was literally show
cred with flowers from those in the box.

quest to a dinner party that evening
Tie gift of the flowers brought round

After the end of the act, and the cur

around to where Mr.. Lawrence was
standing.
'Welbold man,-who are your friends?"
he interroeated
Lawrence shifted from one foot to the
other and smiled. Friends of mine

York friends he answered.

slowly so that I may absorb it."
Lawrence smiled again. mo, it's
quite right" he answered. And to

Then Daniels was made TO believe if.
