CHAPTER x.
This Time the Woman Pleads.

It is conceivable that a man could
manage to bear without repining the
loss of fame and fortune, that he could
survive deprivation of rank and sta
ton with equanimity, nay, more, that
he might even contemplate with a
philosophic Indifference an impending
forfeiture of life-provided he had
love to sustain him. But when that
is lost, and consequently everything
is gone, he has to fall back upon con-
scious rectitude alone, which is we'll
enough in schemes Of philosophy, but
most Inadequate in emergencies and
crisis of real life. As

her knsfoIk, came to America. Soon
after she came here she became q nurse

week there WAS a call for a nurse te go

and TO care for an aged Armenian i'm

sick, half starved and unable to talk
with those about her.
The nurse chosen for the work was
Miss Dambeeragian. The patient was the

result of the GIRLS grief for the murdered

Families Were Indignant
When the Bruce family and the

rage they were indignant too. Finally,
AFTER much discussion, Albert and Ber-
tina were regularly married in church
by an ordained minister. Their rela-

the bride and bridegroom began mar

Bruees in the Alameda. There their

was born, and seemingly there was no

Nevertheless Thorndike was often
absent on trips to San Francisco. There

IAN JOSE, Cal, July 1.-The social
favor1te Of San Jose has brought
his gay career to a frightful end. So
overwhelming was the tragedy that
ended the life of Albert Thorndike that
his closest associates say he died a
mailman. Gambling did 1t all.
Born of one of the best families In
California, he was great social favo-
rite. He was handsome, talented. a
brilliant fellow, Of whom great things
We're prophesied. He married the
daughter Of Robert Bruce, an eminent
capitalist.
His own money and that of his young
wife Thorndike squandered at cards
and on the race tracks The gambling
mania then drove him to play the ban
dit. and he persisted miserable suicide
after a fierce running gun fight with the
police and posse of citizens. It was
as if one Of Bret Harte's weirdest char
acters had stepped out of old print to
play his part in real life.
Announced His Marriage
There was merry party one day in
the summer of 1896 aboard the yacht of
Robert Bruce, out for a days cruise In
Santa Cruz bay. The Bruce millions
are historic in California The Bruce
social status is among the highest. Mr..
Bruce's daughter Bertha, girl of rare
beauty, was one whose hand was
sought by many admirers. Everybody
knew she gave many dances to Bert
Thorndike, but that meant nothing.
Any girl in her set would gladly have
given him every dance he asked. No
one ever dreamed that these two were
engaged.
Nevertheless, he and she were de-
voted to each other. And when the
Bruce yacht was headed homeward In
that golden afternoon Bert Thorndike
| would have created less CONSERVATION
with a bombshell than he did with his
quiet announcement:
Bertha and / are married."
| After the first gasp OF establishment
everybody began to laugh. OF course,
it was one OF Bert's jokes. The dear
fellow was such a joker.
But we are married" corroborated

chic gambler. Alcoholic liquors never
crossed his lips. His self command
so far as external appearances went
was perfect. Inward1y he burned with
the true gambling fever For time a
run Of good luck lured him on He was
careful OF his plays. That postponed
for while the inevitable. Then the
losses rolled up higher and higher.
How many, many thousands of dollars
the infatuated man spent Mrs. Bruce
and her daughter are too proud to tell
1t is known that in the last week of his
life he lost $1,000 at the San Francisco
race meeting.
AT last mother and daughter learned
to say no to the gamblers demands for
more money. He grew strangely quiet.
Eight men were quaffing nightcaps in
the lounging room of the Del Monte
club at 1 o'clock Sunday morning when
with noiseless steps there burst in upon
them a trim built young fellow in an
old shooting suit. He had cooked re-
volver in each hand. His eyes cleaned
brightly through two holes in red
bandana handkerchief that draped his
face.
Hands up, gentIemen." he COM
manded in f1oarse tones The voice was
disguised, that was clear. Swiftly the
bandit whipped $1,000 diamond ring
off the hand Of William George. From
gaming table he took $500.
Swiftly the bandit took his leave,
backing out with both pistols leveled.
But the manager of the club was equal
ly prompt. He seized a revolver, ran
to the front door and sent bullet
after the marauder. The man In the
old shooting suit whirled around and
let drive two shots at him. The man
ager sent two more in return.
From dozen houses in the neighbor-
hood armed men came running to join
the hunt. A little Swedish policeman
named Swenson led the chase. Twice
the bandits bullets sang close to hfs
ears as the robber fed down the main
street OF San Jose, taking advantage of
big doorways, trees, of every bit of
cover, in a manner that showed he was
an adept at the highwayman's trade.
Once Swenson was within four yards of
his quarry, but the hunted man turned
with blazing yolley from both his re-
volyers that made the gallant little
Swede take to cover. He had not an
other shot left in his pistol.
The Gordon Of besiegers constantly
kept drawing closer. At last two shots
rang out almost simultaneously from
the basement. Then followed silence,
broken at last by groans. Little Sven
son. despite the fact that four of the
robbers bullets had penetrated his
coat, dashed into the basement.
Its all right" he shouted cheer
fully. Hes shot himself in both sides
of the head!"
They carried the thief to the city
hospital There he recovered con-
seriousness, despite the gaping wounds
in each temple. He tried to talk, but
could hardly articulate. Tears coursed
down his wan cheeks.
I'm Bert-Bert-" he sobbed, but de-
spite all effort he could say no more
than this. Neither the chief Of police
nor any Of the bystanders recognized
the dying man, and he was long dead
when the manager Of the Del Monte
club identified him.

CAPITOL CITY
FURNITURE CO.

One of st. Paul's manufacturing In
dustries which is fast acquiring ma
tional reputation is the Capitol City
Furniture company, 65s-s41 Jackson
street, of which the Messrs. Johnson
Brothers are proprietors and man
ayers.
This company designs and builds all
kinds of bank, office and store fixtures,
as well as furniture and interior finish
for private homes.
The business was first established by
the present owners. some twenty five
years ago. Various changes in organ
iZation and management took place,
until 1886, when the present firm style
was adopted
The work turned out by the estab-
iishment is of the very best, as may be
judged from the fact that the Messrs.
johnson designed and turned out the
office fixtures for the Merchants Ma
tional bank, the Scandinavian Ameri-
can bank, of ST. Paul. and the American
Exchange and First National banks Of
Duluth, and the First National bank of
West Superior, besides the fixtures for
banks in the West, including one large
design for. Seattle bank The fact
that climatic changes do not injure the
appearance or finish of the work is in
itself sufficient proof that only the best
of material and workmanship are used
in the production Of the finished prod
uct.
This is one of the most complete es-
Establishments of its kind west of Chi
cago. The work turned out in their
line cannot be excefled by any firm in
the Northwest, their success be-
ing due to their knowledge as to
how to treat the material and put 1t
together in the right manner. they
have dry kiln and the most modern Inn
provements in machinery. They have
extended their work in every state
from Indiana to the Pacific coast
Messrs. Johnson Bros. learned their
trade in Sweden, their native country,
having been American citizens. how
ever. for over thirty three years.
