A KEG OF DOLLARS,
1t Was the Family Fortune, and
Was Constantly Sat On for
Safe Keeping.

1--WE never have had a literal bar
rel of money!" saba slim man who
wears his fur cap pulled down over
n eye, relates the Detroit Free
Press. "But once on a time there
was a big key of silver dollars in
our family. When my grandfather
came west from Pennsylvania in 1897
as I've often heard my mother
tell--there was no safer method of
conveying money between the differ
ent states than to have it in coin.
My grand father sold his farm, put
the amount-several thousand dol
lars-in Il large and old-fashioned
mackerel key and packed this safely
in the straw covering the bottom of
his big emigrant wagon-a Conestoga
wagon, with a heavy canvas top. My
mother says that the children knew
that the family wealth was nailed
mp in that precious key, and they
took turns sitting on it, to be sure
that it was there.
big wagon upset down the noun
tain side, but nobody was hurt-not
even the horses. The key of silver
dollars rolled out of the wagon, in
the general disturbance, but was
soon picked up and slowed away
again under the straw. Only one
skillet was lost in this catastrophe,
and my mother said that to the day
of her death grandmother bemoaned
that iron skillet-it was such a good
one. Grandfather always said,
la%ughingly, that grandmother would
not have mourned the key of dollars
If it had been lost-as she grieved
over the skillet.

think of that old key of silver dol
lars in the COnestOga wagon"

Well, this old fellow climbed over the
great wall of sandstone into a rocky
reach of land; and as he wa going
about with his "dog" he soon dis
covered violent symptoms, as it were,
of gold. The vein was continued with
apparently double richness on the
other side of the intervening sand
stone. Fenton was fortunate enough
to meet an old fellow out there who
had gone west from this section of
the country and who had bought that
tract of land for Wright; and as soon
as he learned of it's possibilities he
wrote to Wright telling him hat he
probably had a large fortune in it, if
he had continued to hold it. Wright
wrote back that the land was still
his, and that the taxes had been paid
upon it regularly. This letter has
been secured. Of course the news of
the discovery of this valuable vein on
Wright's land created intense excite
ment, and Frederick Merivale, the
largest stockholder in the adjacent
mine, at once placed himself in cor
respondence with James Franklin.
Just what has taken place between
them is merely a matter of surmise,
but this is doubtless the cause of
Merivale's visit to Nilus."
mo wonder they were willing and
ready to spend money, and to employ
all sorts of means to thwart the in
vestigation of the truth. 1t is now
only too plain that the murder of
John T. Wright was simply a part of
a great conspiracy to get possession
of the Mines"
"Not a doubt of it; and there is no
reason to suppose that the conspira-
tors will quietly allow this paper to
remain out of their possession. They
will do some dark scheming to get
hold of it. I think, therefore, that
we had better take a copy of it,"
The lawyer got from his desk a
piece of paper, old and somewhat
soiled, which could very easily be
taken for the paper on which the
original agreement had been written,

DON'T TAKE TROUBLES TO BED

You may labor your fill, friend of mine, If
you will;
You may worry a bit If you must;
You may treat our affairs as a series Of
cares,
You may live on a scrap and a crust;
But when the days done, put it out Of
your head;
Don't take you troubles to bed.
You may batter your way through the
thick of the fray,
You may sweat, you may swear, you
may grunt;
You may be a jack-fool if you must,
but this rule
Should ever be kept at the front:
Don't fight with your pillow, but lay
down your head
And kick every worrimcnt out of the bed.
That friend or that foe (Which he is. I
don't know,
Whose name We have spoken as Death,
Hovers close to your side, while you run
or you ride,
And he envies the warmth of your
breath;
But he turns him away, with a shake Of
his head,
When he finds you don't take your trou-
bles to bed.

In a few minutes Everett had thor.
oughly neutralized the mesmeric
quality %radiating from Franklin, and
the two men were now on wen terms.
But Everett a hardly prepared for
the reckless audacity of the man,
who, without any concealment, went
straight to the object of his busi'
ness. -
81 presume" said Franklin in his
most overawing manner, "that you
are perfectly aware of the object of
my visit?"
Mr.. Everett came very near being
thrown off his guard, but he recov-
cred in a second and replied indiffer.
emily: "Not being a mind reader,
colonel, I should not undertake to
say what the object Of your visit
a Be kind enough to explain your
self"
81 came after that paper"
Mr.. Everett did not display the
slightest emotion of surprise, en-
barrassment Or indignation, but there
was a cold defiance in his blue eye
and a metallic hardness in his voice
as he replied: "Col. Franklin, you
will have to adopt some other method
it you wish to transact any business
with me. I have never allowed any
man to take that tone with me and
I shall make no exception in your
case"
Franklin laughed a nervous, dis
agreeable laugh and then. said: 81
meant no offense, sir, and you should
have taken none. But it is perfectly
apparent to me that you have a pa
per which belongs to me-"
"You r mistaken, I have nothing
that belongs to you"
Gas you please. If I am informed
correctly, a paper which was taken
from my possession was this morn
ing brought to this house and turned
over to you, or least inspected by
you"
"And by what means did Col.
Franklin learn all this?"
"From trustworthy sources, de-
pend upon it."
IL haven't the slightest objection to
your surmising such a state of facts.
Suppose we assume that such a pa
per vas brought to me this morning,
and I should insist on Col. Franklin's
proving his ownership of the paper?"
81 could tell at once, by an exam
nation, whether it was mine or not"
"But I couldn't"
"Well, 1 would be willing to pay
very handsomely for the restoration
Of the document"
"There is one very easy way to get
this paper, if you are satisfied that it
is in my possession, and that is to in
stitute proceedings against me in the
courts and thus recover it,"
"There is a better way than that,
and a quicker one" said Franklin,
coolly, taking from his pocket a re-
volver and covering Mr.. Everett's
heart. 81 made up my mind when I
came here that I would have that pa
per, and I propose to get it. I am
a desperate man. I have staked a
great deal on this little document,
and I can make a fortune out of it.
Nothing shall defeat me, you under
stand, nothing. This little revolver
can outwit your clever brains every
time. Now you will be kind enough,
Mr.. Everett, to hand me that agree
ment between Wright and myself"

and then he instructed Warde to
make a copy just as much like it as
deft penmanship could contrive. Irv-
ing was expert enough to make one
that could hardly have been told from
it's prototype. This was held before
the fire SO as to dry the ink and
draw out it's blackness. 1t was then
folded and backed with the words,
John I. Wright's Copy of the Agree
ment," just as the original had been.
Hardly had this task been accom-
plished when the door bell rang and
soon afterward the servant an
nounced that Col. Franklin desired
an audience with Mr.. Everett. The
lawyer saw that it would arouse
Franklin's suspicious if he declined
an interview, and he was not averse
to a contest of wits with that astute
individual. At first he was puzzled
to know what to do with Irving. 1t
would not do for him to go out-in
the hall and risk being seen by the
colonel.
The left side of Mr.. Everett's IL

but n of the cases was a revolving
door and bookcase combined. A
slight push turned it sideways and
permitted entrance to the next apart
ment, which was a sort of lounging
room for/the lawyer. There were a
great many easy chairs therein, a
lounge, and all the facilities for the
dreamy recreation of reading. When
the lawyer wanted to work he occu-
pied the library; when he wanted to
read he sought the luxurious chair in
the Longing room.
1t was the work of a moment to
throw back this door, which had been
contrived purely as a convenience,
and not for the purposes of weird
romance, and thrust Irving into the
next room.
A moment afterward Col. Franklin
and Mr.. Everett confronted each
other like two intellectual gladiators
in the library. The latter was cool,
keen and collected. He had his wits
we'll in hand and his emotions firmly
in check.
There was a glitter in Franklin's
dark eyes, and a suppressed excite
ment in his manner which placed him
at a disadvantage, though he was not
aware of it.
Franklin had an intense personal
ity. He vas full of the magnetism
that repels. Even men Of the stead
lest nerves and most phlegmatic tenn
permanent were surprised to find
themselves trembling in his presence,
not from fear, but simply from the
disturbing atmosphere that seemed
to surround the man. The personal
ity of some men is pacifying and
soothing, while that of others is irri-
tating and discordant. Franklin's
dominating nature came in the lat
ter category. Everett was aware of
this quality in his antagonist and he
at once forced himself To beeoma IA

Telephones Are Now in Use in
the Grand Junction District.
Manager Peugh Elated Over
Phenomenal Growth.

Manager PeuRh. of the Telephone
company made a statement to re-
porter for this paper today, which
surprised even the pencil pusher. gen.
orally used to statistics.
Tie n"mber of telephones in the
Grand Junction district have reached
an even 500. This number was e.
corded by Manager Peugh ON last Sat
urday. In the short period of four
years the Grand Junction office has
increased from the use of less than
thirty-five phones to a half thousand.
But more startling. as showing the
wonderful increase il the business.
has been the increased use of the SER
vice in the city alone. There are 1856
phones in actual every day use in this
city. The 500 phones named above
included this district. subject to the
Grand Junction office. On a certain
day in the past month record of the
calls received and answered at the
Grand Junction office was kept and
the total reached approximately be-
tween 2,S00 and 1890 calls. This is
very large record and shows the
amount of business transacted over
the phone service in this city in one
day.
In 1899 the company occupied a
small room ON the second floor of the
Canon block. They employed one
man at that time. it was Mr.. PeuRh
and he worked nearly all day and an
swered calls at night The business
office remained there for a short time
and then moved into their present
quarters. They have now outgrown
these and they will soon occupy an
other very large room. in the new

The Boys Had a Time.

night. so was his partner. the large
boy. He had lots of fun. rather they
had lots of fun and some little devil
try. They did what has been usual
ly done. for how many years no one
knows. piled boxes in the streets.
hung wagons from impossible places;
spirited horses away; changed signs
transferred a few plank walks from
their general positions; ''made Rome
howl" with their yells and pyramid
ed everything detachable to be
founded.
There were some other things done.
not quite so innocent as those enum-
Grated. These are not to be condoned.
The average young man who finds it
necessary to destroy property to have
fun. is weak on Imagination and has
a very limited supply of native genius
to invent species of fun. not in the
of ruffianism.
But it is over. there was little dam
age and it should he soon forgotten.
