not believe he will be able TO leave the
hospital within two weeks.

turned suddenly and headed down the
canyon. Some of the wagons had
not been completely reversed before
they were buried.
Among the articles recovered was
an iron box. Merryweather took pos
session of it. opened IL and found that
it belonged to Edward Earle. 1t con-
tanned several hundred dollars in
gold and Il number of papers.
Some of the papers were deeds to
property in the region 10 which the
caravan was going-a region where
gold had then been recently discov-
cred. Merry weather. after the ex-
cavations were concluded. rode on
to what had been the destination Of
the train. The unearthed papers all
belonged to Elizabeth Earle. and 1t
was his purpose TO transact for her
any business that might be necessary.
He found conditions that he was sure
would make a great change in the
girl he loved
One evening Elizabeth heard foot
step in the hall. and a moment later
she was clasped in the strong arms
Of Henry Merry weather.
THE mystery IS solved. sweet
heart he exclaimed.
He led her to>a sofa and gave her
an account Of his efforts and their
outcome. land now he continued.
there is news intrinsically Of far
greater importance to you than the
solving Of the mystery. You are very
rich. Your father before starting on
his last earthly journey made a Will
leaving you all he possessed. 1t was
Of no value then. but now on por-
ton Of 1t is one of the largest mines
in the west. You are the real owner,
and 1 have brought you q proposition
from its wrongful owners to transfer
to you oue-third of the stock of the
company. This alone will give you a
splendid income"
As the lover had expected, the IN
raveling of the mystery and the
changes it led to in EliZabeth's life
relieved her of her unhealthy current
OF thought and gave her new mental
occupation. Not the least of the re-
suits was a husband. TO whom she
was indebted for bringing her good
fortune.
As the mysterious disappearance of
the wagon train was for years a
fruitful source Of discussion among
those who knew of it. so since Merry
weather unraveled 1t both chapters
OF the story are still told to interested
listeners in the region where 1t oc-
Cured The location, too. is one OF
the points Of interest to tourists.

Cutting a Melon.

Another melon has been cut. The
United Shoe Machinery corporation
has declared an extra dividend of
per cent on the common stock and a
stock dividend of 10 per cent in addi-
ton to the regular dividend Of per
cent on common and 115 per cent on
the preferred This involves the dis
tribution of 1886, APO in cash and 9S.-
642 shares of common stock of a par
value of $6,602. 314, making a total gift
Of about $7,50O.0O0. This corporations
statement shows cash of a little more
than million and stock in other cor
porations of nearly S4O,0OO,oO0. This
sstock includes that of the United Shoe
smachinery company. The company, by
Its policy OF leasing its machines, and
leasing them only to persons who bind
themselves to use no other, has SUD-
pressed most of the competition in the
making of shoe machinery. The result
Of suppressing competition was that
the company made much larger profits
than 1t would look well to distribute
as dividends and large surplus was
piled up.
Five years ago the United Shoe
machinery corporation was organized
to take over the machinery company
and its surplus, increase the stock and
make it possible to get rid of the sur
