In his place, supporting himself with
his gold-headed cane,
When he reached the head of the

roughly to take his portion of bread
the old re ntleman, with smile of sat-
isfaction, took two loaves under his
arm and stepped contentedly along
the street toward his ruined home. He
was L. w. Holman, president of more
banks and trust corporations than any
other one man on the Pacific coast. He
laughed as he said that to receive
those two losves Of bread gave him
more satisfaction than to sell whole

chief, her face besmesrsd with scot

was overtaken by man who had

ferry with the single suit case he had
managed to save from the fire.
He offered woman a seat, but she
shrank from him with a strange ter
ror. When he said he was a newspapr
man the weary woman simply leaned
toward him with a sigh Of relief, and
the young fellow lifted her onto the
wagon.

told her story. She unbound her left
hand. Glittering, blazing, In flood Of
white light, were diamonds, mems
rings and ladies' rings, crowded ON
every finger and even her thumb was
tied with thread that none should drop
off. She opened small handbad which
she carried, and showed him fortune

One way 10 clear a street is to put
man at the end of the block with q
gun, loaded, and then for the sergeant
to go down through the trap and make

who came with governors pass In
his hands had great difficulty in per-
suading him to quit, even though the
