Put Away and Forgotten

The stock came into the present own
er's hands in 1882, having been pur-
chased at s25 share. In 1883 the
woman married and attempted to dis
pose Of several stock holdings. 1t was
in this year, however. that the first
long distance telephone line was built
and the stock was then unstable. 1t
was put away and forgotten
The wonderful rise in the value Of
telephone stock is generally known.
The issue in question is rated on the
market at present as worth in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 share. In ad-
dition to this there are 81 years of ac-
cumulated dividends and, while the 60
shares of stock alone would probably
bring about 100000. the dividends and
interest would multiply this amount
many times

Like a airy Tale

The story of the discovery of this
fortune which has lain dormant and
unrecognized for q years is as glow
ing with romance as a fairy tale. 1t
began in the course of most ordinary
business transaction. but its results
have been such as are seldom accom-
plished in the routine of ordinary af-
fairs The woman to whom the valu-
able stock belongs has been raised in
a day from ordinary circumstances in
life to the possession of immense
wealth. and the man who opened her
eyes TO the value of the fortune in
her hands has Jared equally as well
The meeting between Harding and
the woman occurred only week or
two ago. Harding was urging the pur-
chase of some stock IN the company
which he represents and was met by a
fat refusal on the part OF the pros
pective customer to consider the mat
ter. As her reason. she told him that
she held so shares of American Bell
telephone stock. which had been bought
in 1882 for $500, and that she had
never had any returns from the
worthless paper"
