asked gently enough. Helen looked
at him in surprise.
Ted told me this evening that he
had the ring" the man went on. He
said he always wanted 1t from the
first time he had ever seen it on your
finger. He said 1t was the only ring
he ever liked, and when he found 1t
early in the morning on the wash
basin. he just slipped 1t on his finger
and couldn't find 1t in his heart to
part with 1t.
''Of course ] don't expect you to un-
derstand. sir. but the boy is sorry; he
told me tonight that he just couldn't
bear to keep 1t any longer; that he
hadn't slept since 1t happened, /
thought I'd better come right up and
bring it to you, and If you don't mind
Ted is young, you know-you won't
have him punished"
OF course not" said Helen. horri-
fed.
The man turned to her.
"Of course l don't expect Mr.. Cur
tbs to keep him. I told Ted that; but
If you'll just give him another chance
to make good. You see, 1t would kill
his mother If anything happened"
The man pulled a little box out of
his pocket. and handed it over to
Warren.
There it is. sir, safe and sound"
Warren undid the wrappings, and
there, reposing on a bed of pink cot
ton, was the missing ring. He had
never expected to see it again, and
never would have If 1t had not been
ter stranger.
Warren Is Thankful
"I don't know what to say to you,
Mr.. Brown" Warren said. but 1 GER
tainly am obliged to you. I wouldn't
have lost the ring for a great deal,
Ia g. -
You tell Ted that 1 shall expect him
back in his old place on Monday. We
all make mistakes. you know. and 1
don't want to be the one to judge this
boy. Well see how we'll he works;
and as for you. I want to give you a
little something for your trouble" ."
And Warren slipped a bill into the
| hard hand.
"Oh, no." the man protested. "I
don't need anything for doing the
only thing I could do" .
Take it and buy a present for your
WIFE," Warren urged. She needn't
know how you got the money. You
earned it all right. I'll bet 1t wasn't
an easy thing to come up here and
tell me what you did"
Warren slipped the bill into the
mans coat pocket and then turned to
Helen as the outer door closed.
Well, what do you know about
that?" he exclaimed.
do you want to know what I real
ly think?" Helen asked with spirit
Sure" Warren responded good
naturedly.
We'll, 1 think it ought to be a les
son to you in honesty. You didn't
have any scruples about keeping
change that didn't belong to you the
other night; you said you would feel
like fool going back and telling the
| man that he had given you too much.
But this man had no scruples about
coming up here and telling you that
his son was a thief. Just think it
over, Warren Curtis, I think 1 am
right"

tive series will appear here soon.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THEIR MARRIED LIFE"


Mother writes that winifred is just
fine, dear" said Helen delightedly.
after they were settled in the living
room after dinner. Warren was in
his usual after-dinner posture, light
ad cigar in his mouth. Helen. in a
white dress, was curled up under the
lamp, reading for the second time a
letter from home.
She scanned greedily every bit of
news she could get about Winifred!
Somehow it seemed harder than ever
to spare the child this Summer. Helen
did not realize that the more compan-
ionable the child became. the older she
grew, the harder it would be to do
without her for even short spaces OF
time.
'I do hope no one bothers us to-
night" Helen said after she had fin
ished the letter and had folded it up
and consigned 1t to its envelope. It's
so nice and cozy here. and 1 feel so
lazy, and I have a good book to
read"
Warren looked up and smiled. To
i tell the truth he had not heard a
thing Helen had said, but it was pleas
ant enough to have her ramble on in
monotone. that is when it didn't
happen to annoy him.
Ten minutes elapsed and Helen
raised her head to consult the clock
-8.25. She hardly thought that any
one would bother them now. and with
a little sigh of contentment she re-
turned to her book. At the same mo-
ment the bell rang.
Now, I wonder who that is" Hell
en- pouted.
She waited while Mary came in
from the kitchen and opened the door.
and then the girl came to the door OF
the living room and beckoned to Hell
en-. Helen rose; at least 1t was one
they knew dropping in to spend an
evening at cards or something of the
kind. Whoever it was she could prob
ably dispense with in a hurry
Out in the hall a shabby man stood.
He twirled an old felt hat in his
hands, but his face was bright and
alert and he smiled at Helen from
twinkling blue eyes.
Are you Mrs. Curtis?" he inquired
politely.
Helen nodded.
Gould l see your husband for "a
few minutes, please?" 60 So. -.-'
why certainly. come right in"
Helen responded cordially, and led the
way into the cozy living room.
Warren rose and Helen said sim
ply, This gentleman wants to see you,
Warren"
/"of course you don't know me, Mr..
Curtis" the shabby stranger began.
But 1 am Ted Browns father"
The Ring Comes Back
Helen recalled vaguely that War
ren's office boy was called Ted Brown
You missed a ring, didn't you, sir?
A queer looking thing in the shape of
a snake"
Warren acquiesced, and Helen
smiled to herself. -----
Il might as we'll come right to the
point the stranger was He
was sitting in one of the comfortable
chairs and he still clung to the shah
by felt hat. Ted just told me that he
had taken the ring. I don't know
what possessed the boy; he's a good
boy and 1 have always found him
honest, but he took it."
How did it happen?" Warren

GEORGETOWN Man Said
To Be BOOtlegger

A rad was made on Swanson s
Cafe at Georgetown last Saturday
and A. Swanson and j. T. Guam
ella were charged with keeping
Intoxicating liquors on sale. Three
Denver officers with Sheriff Straub
raided Swanson's safe and after
finding a small quantity of liquor
they went to Swanson's house in
another part of town, where they
found three quarts of whiskey,
some wines and other beverages
claimed to have been kept there
for private, personal use.
On Sunday morning the Denver
officers departed for home, and
though Swanson has been out on
bond the informations were not
fled until Tuesday night. AS
District Attorney Johnson is at the
present time busy in the other end
of the district, the date of the trial
has, been fixed for Aug. 2, at 1:3o
p. m. So it will probably be the
2nd of August when it is the last
of August (Swanson).

Brisk Blaze Does
Quick Damage

Fire was discovered Tuesday
morning at two O'Clock in the barn
of Frank Garrabrant in the rear OF
his home at Ninth avenue and
Colorado street. The fire had
gained considerable headway be-
fore it was discovered and before
the fire department could reach the
scene the entire building was in
flames and was totally destroyed.
There were a considerable amount
of electrical apparatus and tools be.
longing to Mr.. Garrabrant stored
in the building, and valued al
$4,000, all of which were de-
stroyed or badly damaged.
The origin of the fire is a CON-
plete mystery as there had been
no one in the barn for several days
and there were no hot ashes in OF
around it, 1t is very fortunate
that there was no wind at the time
otherwise it might have been ,
very costly blaze.

the pleasure of meeting them.

Getting Ready for
A Big Production

Tom johnson started the Com
bination mill last week on two
hundred and fifty ton lot of mill
ore from the Specie Payment
mine. Numerous assays have
been made which show a value of
about Sl2.OO per ton in the crude
ore. The ore will concentrate
about nine tons of crude to one
ton OF fms he'd product. Since
taking over the Specie Payment
and the Two Brothers property
month ago, Mr.. johnson has been
busy cleaning up and putting the
(mlne in condition for the output
ing of big tonnage of good ore
He has now force of ten men
employed and is drifting and stop
ing in the lower workings, and has
good ore in sight. The working
force will be increased as fast as
! conditions warrant and the indi-
lcations are at present that the
I old Specie mine will soon be as it
has been in the past-one of the
best mines in Clear Greek county.
1t is safe to say that if there is
anyone that can and will make a
success Of this proposition, Tom
johnson is the man that will do
lit.
