back a happily surprised lad. He re-
ports his uncle left him an annual In.

The young mans plans to rival the

famed Mr.. MoDsvitt OF wilkes-Barre,

In artiess. boyish lack Of originality.
he came home paying for newspapers
with dollar bills and giving tips on his
meals equal to the full amounts of the
checks presented TO him. The boy does
not drink and the utmost devilishness
that suggested itself to him was the
purchase OF two boxes of 25-cent cigars.
Might a. well get used to smoking
these" he observed. with a self-con-
scious blush. when the crowd 1t the
post-office emoved one of them from
his mouth and examined the gilt band
with unconcealed admiration.

THREE MllliON-THAT'S ALL.
II Paddock's information Is correct.
his uncle left an estate amounting to
5000. 900. The income OF a million OF
1t Is left to young Simon's father. who

had got through shaking hands and

Then he went 70 Harry Richmond. for
whom he once worked. and hired Rich
mond as chauffeur at $50 q week.
1T may seem like high wages. but
Harry was good to me when 10 was
boss n I want to get back at him."
SAID the new-nnade plutocrat.
Next, Paddock sat down. and. curl.
ing his tongue up toward his left ear.
took his pan In hand and wrote out an
order to "a firm which makes a speciality
Of printing pictures OF wonderfully
dressed youths In three colors ON the
back pa res of ma gaines.
He told them he wanted "a full dress

and a crush opera hat with a spring In

After deep thought he decided 10 pu,
