in the glance he turned on me.
Yes, yes. You will be protected.
But, first Of all, did you bring what
you promised?'
Riggs produced a roll Of papers
from under his coat, and handed them
over. Mr.. Jameson examined them
with lively satisfaction, and passed
them to me. "The blue-prints of Sun

you? Now, Riggs, we are ready"

He refused TO explain further, but
he got a slip of paper out of his

SHERIFF BOYD sPREsENT
Mans Popularity Is Shown Through
Present From Friends-Also
In Making His Bond.

Sheriff ]. Lee Boyd should feel
proud of his friends, and if ever a
man in this world felt he was called
on to make good Boyd ought to be
that man. He is the possessor of the
prettiest Colts pistol, perhaps, ever
presented any Palestine man 1t is a
lgsutiful weapon. silver-plaited, and
peari handle. On the handle is
engraved: ITO j. L. Boyd, Sheriff of
Anderson County, From His Friends"
But this is not the only testimony
of the mans popularity, for it is a
fact that he made his official bond
of $4,000 without solicitation. Every
signer of the bond was volunteer.
And his bondsmen are good, perhaps,
for million dollars. Here are his
A. G. Burton, D. M. Bar
rett, Tucker Royal, A. L. Bowers,
George Harris.
And here is the Herald's prediction:
Lee Boyd is not going to disappoint
his friends or fail to DO his duty.

are too busy during the malstrom of
a days effort to print a newspaper

1t is not that we do not want the

small that it does not pay to send out
a collector to collect them; besides
the taking of them over the phone
often proves so expensive in time con-

MRS. HETTY GREEN IS IS
Fortune Is Estimated at From Fifty
to One Hundred Million Dollars.
In Good Health.
(Herald Specially

New York, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Hetty H.
R. Green, Americas most prominent
woman financier, reached her seventy
fifth birthday anniversary today and
also rounded out her forty-fifth year
as a business woman, during which
she has accumulated a fortune vari-
to $10O,OOO,000.
The wealthiest woman in America
started with a fortune of $9,000,00G
left by her father. This fortune She
has increased many fold by shrewd
business deals and far-sighted invest
ments. Her wealth is widely diversi-
fled. She has real estate holdings III
nearly every section of the country
and her mortgages embrace some of
the safest properties in chain of
cities extending from coast to coast
Railroads, steamboats,, mines, tele
phones and telegraphs also contribute
to her income.
Some time since the report was
circulated that Mrs. Green intended
to retire from the active management
of her affairs and the arrival of her
only son, E. H. R. Green, in New
York tended to confirm the report
But the son has returned to Texas and
Mrs. Green, from all appearances. is
as active as ever, so that the rumors
of her prospective retirement prob.
ably had no better foundation than
similar reports which have been cir
culated periodically ever since the
famous ffnancier reached her sixtieth
year.
