Miss Weston, Capitalist

By CLAUDINE SISSON

There is an old saying to the eff
feet that when man goes a-fishing
he doesn't know what may happen.
Perhaps Mr Guy Hilton had never
heard anything about it, but he went
a-1shing and many things happened
that he did not look for.
Mr. Hilton went with little party
of three, and the quartette camped on
Loon lake and fished 1t was called
Loon lake, because no one unless he
was looney ever went there thinking
to catch fish. After a couple of weeks
Mr.. Hilton was taken with chills and
had to go to a farm house and call a
doctor, and the other three broke camp
and went home.
In two weeks the patient was cured
and ready to follow Then came an
other unexpected thing. When the doc
tor and the farmer had been paid Mr..
Hilton found himself stone broke.
When man is stone broke he hasn't
got a nicked in his pockets. 1t would
be all right. however, when the pen
niless man got down to the village of
Rockford. Some merchant there
would cash his check on a city bank
He would want only four dollars for
railroad fare.
Mr.. Guy Hilton didn't look like a
confidence man. He wasn't sly, sleek
and slick. Like any other man with
fair bank account and a reasonable
trust in human nature, he wrote out a
check for four dollars and asked the
leading merchant In the town to
cash it.
THAT game is too old even for this
village" was the reply.
Game? Game? | have money in
this bank" said the astonished young
man.
But you ought to have it in your
pocket instead"
You can telephone the bank and
make sure it's all straight"
But of what interest to me? l am
not here to help folks out of troubles
they get into"
HoI, foolish the stone broke man
had been to apply to stranger, when
he could telephone to a friend in the
city and have hundred dollars sent
up. He went to the postoflce, which

Rural France Losing.

rather liked him. He had been a cam

couldn't account for his detected look

Mr.. Hilton walked up and down tho

room and read the time tables ana
other interesting literature. Then he
walked block up the street ana
walked back again. Then he wa,ked
straight up to the young LADY and
said:

"Yes?"
Il find myself in an embarrassing
position"

smiled. Then the young lady laughed
and he laughed. Then she said:

She took a five-dollar bill from her
purse. and extended it, but the con.
fused and blushing young man shrank
back, and protested:
Il can't take it. | didn't intend
to ask you for money just wanted
to tell you that-that-"

There was some one looking in the
door as that five dollar bill changed
hands. 1t was Constable Stacey. He
had followed the trail of the suspicious
character When he saw the money
passed and the two laughing and talk
ing he scratched his head and said to
himself:

There surely was little game in It,
but arresting the pair might not have

SUED FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
Frank Shatfer, Cannery Man Of Mo.
clips, IL Made Defendant In
Suit Brought by Girl.

Suit for $4,000 damages for alleged
seduction were, filed in the superior
court yesterday by Dan Pearsall, ator-
ney for Oma Gates against Frank Shat.
fer,former canneryman of Moclips. The
suit is the elimination Of an affair
which occurred four years ago when
Miss Gates was but II years old.
Shaffer was arrested at the time but
it was during a change in the officers
of the county and for some reason
the case was never taken into the
court. A child was born to Miss Gates
and she now seeks damages amount
ing to $4,000. The reason that suit
was not brought sooner is said to
have been due to the fact that Miss
Gates could not do so until she be-
came of age.
