BOB'S
INSPIRATION
BY HOWARD FIELDING.

His name was Robert Bryce. He
was an attorney, and the law Of pat
ents was the field wherein he reaped
an excellent harvest Of fees. His
friends called him Lucky Bob"
A man would naturally prefer to
have his successes credited to his abll-
ity rather than to his luck, yet Il was
not for this reason that Bryce disliked
his nickname. II offended him because
Il was a lie. The fates had done him
an m turn, and all their favors we're
but mockeries.
Three years ago, when Bryce was
twenty-slx, he met Martin L. Randall,
who paid him well for a small profess
sional service. The money came just
in the nick Of time, for Bryce was
struggling hard to get foothold in in
dependent practice. Randall was a
rich man. He had manufacturing inter-
ests Of various kinds, involving the use
Of patented machinery and the making
of patented articles. He took fancy
to Bryce, lntrusted him with important
affair.", kept him in funds, advised him
in tie investment Of his surplus, in
vited him TO his home.
Friendship sprang up between the
men despite the great difference In
their years. They were constantly
seen together. II was current talk that
Bryce's fortune was made, and his col
lege nickname, Lucky Bob, was heard
again on the lips Of his associates.
On his first visit to Randalls home
Bryce dined with the family, only one
of whom had a drop Of blood in com
mon with Randall. This was his sis
ter, a widow and childless. The others
were a Mrs. Loring and her daughter
Amy and a young man named Ballard
Dillon. Randall had been a cavalry
officer In the civil war and in those
days capable of romantic friendships.
Mrs. Loring was the widow OF COM
rade in arms. Dillon was the son OF
another. The lady had been left with
some small means in trust with Ran
udll. OlllOu was q peuhllSoS olphah
who had fallen into the lap Of luxury.
Amy Loring was not yet eighteen
when Bryce first saw her. She
seemed to him a very pretty and well
bred girl and nothing more.
The first warning that Bryce re-
ceived came from Randall at the
house one evening. Amy and Dillon
happened to be standing together in a
good light and accidentally posed with
some artistic value.
"a handsome couple" said Randall,
who was an admirer of personal beau
ty, like most other people who have
been blessed with a share Of it.
1t was not long after this that Ran
dali conveyed to Bryce definitely the
intelligence that Amy and Dillon were
intended for each other. Increasing
misery was Bryce's portion from that
hour, and the word "lucky" coupled
with his name was bitter mockery.
There may be many reasons why a
woman should not marry a man though
she loves him. There is no reason
why she SHOULD marry him if she

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW
CALLS FOR DECISION
Attorney General Baker Gives his
Opinion on New Legislation

ed upon this Act when the Constitu
tionality of the same was raised an
| sustained, and Judge Talbot, in dis
cussing the same, speaking for th
Court, said: We cannot say tha
this law, limiting the period OF labo
in underground mines to eight hour
each day is not calculated 10 promote
health; that it is not adapted to th
protection OF the health of class o
| men who work i'll underground
| mines"
Therefore from Judge Talbot's owr
words in passing upon the eight-holll
Law he declares it to be law limit
ing the period of labor in under
ground mines to eight hours eacl
day Here it is plainly seen that he
construes the word employment. to
mean actual labor | am, therefore
of the opinion that the eight hour
employment contemplated by the
statute means eight hours actual l..
Dor.
The second question you advance
resolves itself into whether watch
man comes within the terms of the
Act passed by the Legislature of Ne
vada, approved March "a. 1911 From
a careful consideration OF the rea-
soning by the courts in the opinion
cited and quoted from. | am led to the
conclusion. and it is my opinion that
watchman is, under the language
of the Statute above quoted, included,
as is intended to be included in the
expression and term ''workingman
and as such, cannot, under said law.
be required or obliged to work on or
about the surface workings OF am
underground mine workings, to eX
ceed eight hours in any period OF ?
hours, except in cases Of emergency
when life or property is in imminent
danger. To do so would constitute
a violation OF the law by the person
employed in that capacity, as we'll a,
the employer. and for such services
rendered in violation of the law. ne
compensation could be legally claimed
by resort to the courts.
Respectfully submitted,
