pulled his wide-brimmed hat over his

After lunch, during which Peyser
tried to get the printers mind of the
camera episode, he left and hurried to
the photographer.
Sorry, Mr.. Peyser," he said, but
couldn't get any results. Your friend
pulled down his hat and that's all l
could get" He held up the dripping
negative that he had been developing
and showed only blur of hat that
would be of no use as an identifica-
ton.
Peyser hurried on with his discour-
aging news to Eagan.

New York.-This is the story of .
couple which shall be nameless. be-
cause of the prominence the man has
attained.
They had been deeply in love when
they married. That was ten years ago.
Much has happened in ten years. and
in their case they had drifted apart.
At first there were little scraps, mend
ed by kiss and few loving words.
BY degrees the rift became larger
She wanted the comfort, II not the lux
uries of life, and told him many times
of the motor cars and theater boxes

Tom, Dick or Harry instead of him.
Once he used to weave stories of a

and finally the friction became too
much for him.

you are never satisfied" he said
after one of these quarrels. "You have
no belief in me. Perhaps l don't
amount to much. We don't get on.
You remain here and I'll find a place
for myself. I'll let you have enough
to keep you going-$25 week."
She agreed to this joyfully, and in a
few days he removed to a furnished
room not many blocks away. Each
week she received an envelope with
the stipulated amount in it. Other
wise they lived as strangers.
The man had only left himself
enough out of his salary to keep him
self alive. There was no overplus for
amusements. and his chief recreation
was reading at the public library.
The Pencil Of Destiny.
One evening, having finished his eve.
ming paper, he took up pencil and be-
gan to draw on the edge. He had a
sense of humor and was making
comic picture of something he had
just read. He was fond of drawing
and had given much time to it before
his marriage
Then he took a sheet of paper and
drew several comic sketches, and they
amused him so much that just for fun
he sent one to comic paper. 1t was
accepted and the editor asked for
more. He kept on drawing and in
three years had attained a reputa-
ton under the name of "Scorn."

Uhut can't nr0ua IL and don't knoW

the fake printing" he told Peyser,
but can't prove it, and don't know
as it would do much good If could.
What we want to do is to get a photo
graph of him and have it sent to every
poolroom and every bookmaker in this
part of the country. Then they will
know him and can steer clear of him.
Now, what want you to do is to get
the photograph. He runs a printing
shop down on Broadway and Twenty
seventh street." Eagan told Peyser
the name of the suspected printer and
Peyser said he would get the photo
graph If anyone could.
First he went to see the printer on
the pretext of wanting to do some
business with him, taking care not to
arouse his suspicious. Then, when he
had secured his confidence, he went
to nearby photographer.
There is fellow around here" he
told the photographer, whose picture
I've got to have. He isn't anxious to
be photographed, either. What want
you to do is to hang out on Twenty
seventh street and Broadway and wait
till you see me. I'll come out about
noon with my friend and when you see
us you can level the camera and take
the picture"
This agreed upon, Peyser went to
see the printer, with whom he had al
ready arranged to have luncheon. At
noon they rounded the corner of Twen-
ty-seventh street and Broadway, Pey-
ser talking eagerly to the printer as
they walked along. The photographer
was seated on a bootblack stand, hav-
ing his shoes polished, camera in
hand, on the opposite corner. He lev
eled the camera at the dishonest
printer and Peyser continued to talk
vigorously.
Unable to get the right focus from
the bootblack stand, the photographer
swung down and started out in the
street. Then he rested his camera on
the wheel Of an express wagon that
happened to be standing at conven-
lent distance and started to focus
again.
Say" said the printer to Peyser,
"who is that fellow over there and
why is he 'mugging' me? What have
I done that would make anyone want
a picture of me?"
"You!" exclaimed Peyser, with a
laugh. "Nobody's 'mugging' you.
Why, there does seem to be a camera
man, but how do you know he isn't
aiming at me? Guess I'd make as
good-looking picture as you would"

day different color was used for
different set of numbers, and as this
code was communicated secretly to
the poolroom men it was hoped that in
this way they could detect the fraudu-
lent tickets.
Still the trouble continued Appar-
emily the dishonest printer printed his
slips on every color of cardboard
every day. Then when the races were

fraudulent tickets would manage to
see over the shoulder of the holder of

Cripple Creek, Colo.-The output of

1t was in the good old days of the
early nineties when horse racing -four
ished under kindlier law in New
York than it does today that Tom
Eagan had the distinction of being Off
cial stationer and printer to the book
makers and poolrooms of the city. He
supplied them with pencils and pads,
blank books, ink and record books and
did whatever printing their business
called for. He it was who printed the
colored tickets issued to those who
bet on the races in the poolrooms or
on the track. These tickets, which
were filled in at the time of the bet
ting, served as a record of the transac-
ton, and in case the bettor was lucky
he received his winnings on presenta-
tion Of the ticket.
Toms business with the poolrooms
and bookmakers had thriven and it
seemed that the neat little profit from
printing the tickets would continue SO
long as Tom Eagan continued to run
his printing presses.
One day, however, Mr.. Eagan got
word that there were counterfeiters at
work. Fake tickets were being print
ed and filled out to duplicate Eagan's
tickets, and every once in while win
nings went to a holder of the fake
ticket instead of to the real winner.
So between Mr.. Eagan and the pool
room operators new system had to
be devised. Thereafter tickets were
printed in several colors, according to
the number of the ticket. That is, all
tickets numbering between one and a
hundred should be pink, all between

May 5th, 1915. Editor Arizona Republican:
 In response to your request l will briefly state how I made good in the Salt River Valley.
 After making a thorough investi- gation of all the opportunities found in this marvellous valley, including cur ideal climate conditions for man and beast, as well as our incom- parable alfalfa and cereal crops, engaged in a small way in the dairg business with the so-called scrub COW. I succeeded remarkably well, in fact made good money.
 This opened my eyes to the pos abilities for dairying in a country where cattle feed on alfalfa the year round; where expensive buildings are not needed. When I realized that June conditions in the central dairy states brought the dairy farmer twice as much as any other month in the year and that June conditions obtained in the Salt River Valley twelve months each year. This led me to believe that we had the most wonderful dairy country on the cof- tinenu. My later experience verified my former opinion.
 This led me to dispose of my com

Laboratories in which mining work may be accomplished, a rescue station, equipped with all that wonderful apparatus now being used in some of the more thickly set tied mining communities and a min ing school are some of the things that may be brought to Arizona as a result of the good work of this organization.
 Through the efforts of the Ari- zona chapter of the Arizona Mining Congress, the world will be taught to realize more fully than ever be- fore, the fact that this new state is one of the most important pro- ducers of some certain ores, and that this is indeed, an unexplored mining wonderland

In selecting COWS kept con stantly in view the importance of each and every COW being big pro- ducer, also that a prepotent sire with an ancestry of rich and copious milkers was half of my herd.
 My herd increased rapidly and were money makers from the start My heifers almost without an exception proved to be better producers than their mothers. My herd has grown

 During the twelve years since I pinned my faith to the pure bred COW my success has been beyond my fondest expectations.
