Bret Harte stopped there in that

in despair. Gillis fed him, gave him
clean linen, $50 and some gentle words
OF encouragement
A little later Harte wrote Truthful
James," and woke up famous next
morning. A little later he was editor
n-chief of a San Francisco literary
paper. A year later Gillis went to San
Francisco aud called upon Harte. He
received but . frigid reception. Harte
was the pet of all the ladies in San
Francisco; so handsome was he, so
brilliant. What use had he for such a
rude miner?
Gillis called again next morning and
said: "Harte, forgot this $50 mo-
inent after 1 gave it to you. I never
would have remembered it again, ex-
cept that your reception yesterday
quickeped my mind. l have helped a
