The slow, drilling rain which had
steadily fallen since the early part of
the afternoon and which threatened
to continue to fall during the rest of
the evening. was not more dismal and
dreary than the heart Of the girl who
shrank back in tho corner seat Of the
elevated train. gazing through the
clouded window panes with dull. un.
seeing eyes.
She was dressed In q shabby black
dress and Jacket: her shoes were worn
and her hat had the look Of being
made and remade from one dated
many years before.
Mollie Orth had left home that
morning with but Is cents in her
purse, her hopes raised high. and a
feeling In her heart that she would
succeed this time. She smiled at the
conductor as she handed him her fare,
smiled at the little girl sitting in the
seat across from her tenderly hugging
bedraggled doll In her arms; in.
deed. smiled at every one she saw,
for Mollie was decidedly an optimist,
and SO surely as failure and worry and
heartache laid her spirits low, just so
surely would they rise again with the
beginning of new day.
All morning she wandered down
street after street. vainly seeking EN-.
ployment. After awhile the smile left
her lips and the song died out of her
heart. Gradually, her limbs grew
moye and more tired, until at last her
feet refused to carry her farther and,
entering the waiting room of large
department store. she sank into q
chair and YEARLY closed her eyes.
The matron, neatly-dressed won.
an with kind, motherly face, glanced
at the girl with understanding and
sympathy in her eyes. The story was
30 evident and such an old one!
Wouldn't you care to glance over
this paper while you are resting?"
asked the matron, handing her news
paper with smile that conveyed en-
couragement and sympathy to the
girls heart. Mollie grasped 1t eager

~, murmuring her thanks. As the
woman expected, she turned at once
to the help wanted page and hastily
scanned its columns.
There was but one ad. which she
could answer. but even this was ray
Of hope which she eagerly seized upon.
It was raining when she reached the
street. but although she had no UNI
brella she started all undaunted for
the address given in the paper.
It was ten long blocks from the
store which she had left and she was
thoroughly drenched by the time she
reached her destination. Approach
ing the Office boy che inquired for the
manager, and was pointed out a large.
heavily-built man seated behind a
huge desk. his head bent over heap
Of papers.
We'll. what can do for you?" he
asked sharply as Mollie stood patient.
~ awaiting his attention.
The girl timidly stated her errand,
answering his numerous questions
with straightforward honesty.
"Well," he said. at length, you
don't look overstrong, but guess you'll
do. We expect good work from our
people. and II we can't get 1t out Of
them We don't keep 'em-that's all.
Where are your references?"
II haven't any," began Mollie, trem-
uously. Il never thought to ask for
any at the last place worked in"
The man scowled as he waved her
aside with fat, pudgy hand. mo go.
no go. No reference. no Job. Why
didn't you say SO right away instead
of wasting all my timer"
"Oh. cried Molly, in dismay. "Only
try me. sir! will work hard, you
will see how fast my fingers can fly.
Please. please give me just trial! I
need the money so badly"
The man turned resolutely to his
desk.
Cant do 1t, tell you. We don't do
business that way"
Mollie walked blindly out of the Of
fee and was once more on the street.
Feeling faint she determined to spend
half Of her last dime for a cup of
coffee. She entered a coy little
restaurant. following the usher to a
table near the end of the room.
Mollie paused long over her coffee,
drinking in its sweet fragrance and
feeling delicious sense of comfort
as the strong liquid sent a flush of
warmth through her body. She rose

when he left. q feeling for which she

and stood beside her desk.
Miss Orth, you have been with us
TWO years now, haven't you?" he
asked.
Mollie replied in the Affirmative.

again. and again Mollie nodded.
"Well, Miss Ortiz" he began hest

more than we are paying you, al
:hough we cannot afford to raise your
salary any higher, therefore l am go.
.ng to ask you to resign your posi-

Mollie gasped and stared at him
with eyes filled with surprise and
lismay. Asked to resign her posi-
ion! What could she have done to
deserve it? Her accounts always bal
anced evenly; she had supposed her
work was giving complete satisfac-
lion. and now, without warning, she

Mollie gazed at him and then, just
as she had done two years before,
when he had offered her the position,
she laid her head down upon her arms
and burst into tears.
"Mollie! Little girl, don't you care?
If you only knew how have hoped
and prayed that you did. Would you
rather keep your position here. and
have me give up my castle in Spain,
and go away. For go away must. II

Mollie did look up, and the tears in
her eyes only made them look bright
err with Joy and happiness shining
through them as the sun behind a
cloud.

was ovetcrowded. the people standing
in line to pay for their checks and

Mollie laid her check. which called
for five cents, upon the desk, together
with her solitary dime, and was given
five brand-new pennies in change.
How bright they looked and how they
shone. almost as If they were made of
gold. she thought. as she walked
slowly down the street. Why, one

1t was not common penny! Hastily

that she was holding, not penny, but
a SO gold piece! She stared at it

that she started and glanced appre.-

LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
SPARKS Big CIRCUS
Five thousand People Witness
Big ShOwS--GOOd Order Pre-
walls Throughout the
Day

A crowd variously estimated at
from four to SIX thousand people
saw the great Sparks circus here
Wednesday. 1t was the largest
crowd since Buffalo Bill and Cole
Younger made their Wild West
display here about FIVE years ago.
The crowd, though large was verv
orderly, there being no arrests made
during the entire day, There were
no fights or disorderly conduct of
any kind SO far as we have been
able to learn.
The show was very good through
out. the trained horses and elephants
and the other circus performers do
ing the various stunts just little
better than is usually seen on such
occasions.
The worst feature of the occasion
was that the company was afraid to
bring the show across the bridge,
but erected their tents down on the
Frisco "Y" mile out of town.
This kept many from attending the
afternoon performance and many
more from going at night.
A very good and noticeable feature
was the absence of the takers and
short changers that usually accom-
pany shows of this kind. If there
were any characters of this class
with the company they were kept
in the background.

Much interest Manifested

The Pocahontas public school
opened at o'clock last Monday
morning with an enrolment of
three hundred and twenty-four

The teachers for the different
grades were all present and took
possession of the departments as

manner as announced in the Star

GOOD CITIZEN
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
c. A. Williams of Biggers Loses
His Life by Falling From
Wagon


e. A. Williams, aged about 40
years, a well known and highly res
pected citizen of Biggers lost his
life in apeculiar manner last Friday.
He was hauling lumber from a saw
mill on Black river and in making
turn in the road near the Hite
graveyard his wagon came in con-
tact with an obstruction which
threw him from the wagon. He
fell under the wheels which passed
over his body and head and the
wagon being very heavily loaded
his head was crushed to such an ex-
tent that he died within very few
minutes. Will Guide, a neighbour
of Mr.. Williams, who was also
hauling lumber came along few
minutes later and found the body.
Williams breathed only two or three
times after Mr.. Cude reacbe 7 him.
The accident was witnessed by two
or three women who were working
in field alongside the road, but
they did not know that Mr.. Will
liams was fatally hurt until Mr..
Guide came up. The body was
taken home and prepared for burial,
the interment being in the Hite
graveyard on Sunday following.
Mr.. Williams was a good and
useful citizen and his large circle
of acquaintance and friends regret
very much to hear of his untimely
death. He carried insurance to the
amount of $1,000 in the w. O. w.

TKE MYSTERY HAS
REALLY BEEN SOLVED
Relative to the hole that Mar
shall Jess Haynes recently
found In the COrnfieId
OF Robert Lynch

Readers of tie Star Herald will
remember that about two months
ago we published in these columns
relative to the excitement caused
by the finding of hole in the
ground in Robert Lynch's corn field
and which was thought by Jess
Haynes and a lumber of people
who went to investigate the matter
to have been a newly made grave.
With the assistance of Sherlock
Holmes and DR.. Watson, The mys-
terv has been solved without side-
auctions.
A number of years ago a rich
Mexican came through this section
of the country and is supposed to
have had with him over $50, 600 in
Mexican gold. He became afraid
that robbers would take the money
from him before he got to st. Louis,
where he was headed for SO he bur
led the money and took plat of
the ground and left several land
marks SO tat he could return with.
out retinue of servants and get
his money at later date. On his
way to st. Louis death overtaken
him. Later the plat was found but
the weather had almost destroyed it.
The principal landmarks could
not be made out until recently by a
man who thought that he knew this
country well. The plat is now in
the hands of certain gentleman at
Jonesboro who is now making an
effort to locate the hidden treasure.
The deduction made by our detec-
tives is that he missed his bearings
and instead of going farther up the
river where certain landmarks have
been located, he startdd to pros
pect here at Pocahontas. An effort
will be made at very early date
to locate the hidden treasure if it
still remains in this vicinity.
