looked with longing eye on the fine
old house with its pretty grounds.
Decidedly there must be no mort
gage. He concluded he must bring
matters to a crisis. But Jean peTsis-
tently side-tracked his endeavOrs, so
the next best thing was to help her to
a position. He was quite sure she
would soon tire of the hard work and
be willing to become Mrs. Leon Brad
bury. To throw her into the numer-
GUS temptations of an Office with all
kinds of men, perhaps those who
would make themselves agreeable to
her, was out of the question, so he
watched his chance and when one Of
the girls in Mr.. Hardness Office left.
got for her the vacant place. Hank
ness was a bachelor over, 40, and
seasoned and confirmed in a single
life. Bradbury had no fears of him
as a rival. Besides he would have
Jean quite under his eye, and, as he
told her mother, would 'lOok out for
her"
The first day Jean took dictatiOn
from Mr.. Hardness she made several
mistakes.
q am sorry" she said. "I will try
not to have it happen again. But if
make you to much trouble, you can
discharge me-"
But Jean was not discharged. She
seemed so anxious to please, and
improved rapidly in her work.
One day when Bradbury was walk
ing home with Jean he asked: How
do you get along with the old MANI"
DO you mean Mr.. Harkness?"
she queried.
''Why, of coures."
81 don't call him an old man. He
can't be 40, and at any rate his heart |

silent sneer, q didn't know a mans !

sibly Hardness had made advances

He made frequent trips past the Of
flee door when it was open. He even
made excuses to get inside, but he
never saw anything the least suspi-
ciOUs in the behavior Of the head Of
the firm. One day he ventuTed to ask
Mr.. Hardness if Jean was giving sat
isfactiOn. He answered in a coldly
businesslike way that she was.
AS time went on the young man
became convinced that Jean had
something more than admiration for
his employer. There were two i'm
pOrtant reasons why this should not
go on. 1t was surely a useless, hope
less idea for JeanItO cherish. He felt
that the girls life should not be sad
dened by such a love. Besides, he
had made up his mind that he would
marry her himself.
AS an old and valued employee he
felt he had the right to consult Mr..
HaTkhess on the subject.
1t was not an easy matter to ap-
prOach, but after some stammering
he plunged in. He believed he had
good reason to know that his stenOg-
rapher had grown to care for him
more than was good for her peace of

amazement. He assured Mr.. Brad
bury he had not noticed anything of
the kind. Hardness was not in the
least erotiC looking. His nose was
too stubby. But there was fine
breadth of brow, and his clean SHAY

Bradbury insisted something must
be done to cure the girl. Mr.. Hank

FIRE TOTALLY DESTROYS
HOME AND FURNISHINGS

The fire department was called out
at 3:45 this morning 10 assist in ex-
tinguishing a blaze at the home of
Mrs. Frances L. Lee at 124 Catlin
avenue. Owing to the distance from
headquarters the FIRE had made great
progress before the department boys
arrived on the scene and they could
do little more than prevent the spread
of the flames TO other property in the
vicinity.
The house, four-room frame struc-
ture, was owned by r. r. Storey and
was probably worth five or six hun
dred dollars. 1t was rented to Mrs.
Lee and the furniture, bedding. car
pets etc, were owned by her. She
carried an insurance on them of $500
There was nobody at the house Fri
day night and how the FIRE started is
unknown. The building and its CON
tents were entirely destroyed.

OF the most famous OF the early Colo

He was a partner Of August Rischie
and in the spring of 1878 was one oi
the discoverers of the Little Pitts
burg mine at Leadville. which opened
up what was probably the greatest
deposit of silver ever uncovered in
the Rocky mountain region.

business. They finally struck lead
carbonetes, rich in silver, on Frazer
hill at Leadville at a depth of less
than thirty feet. 1t was marvellous

from it Denver. at that time in state
of depression, was raised to a position
of prosperity and affiuence. The Ia
Dor block and the Tabor opera house
were erected from the proceeds of
this remarkable mine.
Mr.. Hook enjoyed meeting his old

much, and discussed with them the
events of thirty-five and forty years
ago. He was immensely pleased with
the Odd Fellows home and every
thing connected with it and says the

DENVER MAN
KILLED NEAR
PARKDALE
SATURDAY

A man about thirty years of age,
supposed to be Henry Omeyer OF
Denver, was accidentally run over
and killed by a Denver & Rio Grande
train about half mile east of Park
dale at an early hour this morning,
No. 16. about 4 o'clock. Omeyer, it
is supposed was riding blind baggage
and fell OFF the train. His head was
severed from his body and his right
leg was cut off between the ankle and
the knee
The matter was reported by the
railroad agent at Parkdale to Or. X.
c. Atkinson of Florence, county coro-
ner, by telephone and the latter in
company with Clyde C. Bell of this
city motored to the scene of the ac-
cident and brot the remains here to be
prepared for burial.
From letters found in the dead
mans pocket it is believed that ne
altho the exact nature of his office
could not be ascertained. From
bank pass book in his pocket it was
learned that Omeyer had an account
with the Denver Savings bank and
that about seventy dollars is at pres
ent on deposit in that institution to
his credit. Inquiry at the bank by
long distance Telephone at noon elic-
tied the information that Omeyer was
known TO its officials and the belief
was expressed that he had number
of family relatives in Denver. He had
a small sum of money in his pockets
when found this morning.
The body is being held at Wilson's
undertaking establishment pending
its identification by relatives or
friends. What disposition is to be
made of it or when the funeral will
take place is not known.

WHAT A MILLION
DOOR YARDS CAN DO

Washington, April without go

lions of American women can render
real service to the nation. This serv-
ice is as real as that rendered by the
soldier on the field OF battle. II is
to plant and care for the little plot
of land that lies back of the house
to make home garden.
One million door yard gardens
planted in our suburbs and cities
this spring would mean a national
saving of possibly $4,000, 600, sum
as large as that which President Nc
Kinley was given by congress for the
prosecution of the Spanish-American
war. Growing vegetables for home
consumption in these gardens would
relieve the railroads of the necessity
OF carrying millions of pounds of bulky

cars and engines for hauling men and
munitions.
Our experts have calculated that
an average American family uses
about twenty bushels of potatoes a
year. 1t takes but a fraction of an
acre to produce this quantity of this
important food stun. since a fair
yield of this crop is 200 bushels in a
season, and it is not uncommon for
potatoes to run 10 400 or more oush-
els per acre
Radishes. lettuce, early beets. beans
peas, tomatoes, spinach and numer-
GUS easily cultivated vegetables can
be raised in the back yard provided
the soil is fertile and intelligence is
employed in the process. There is no
reason in the world why 1000, 900
back yard gardens should not be
planted this spring. planted as soon
as the ground is warm enough, and
supply 100000 families with good.
cheap. nutritious food all this sum-
mer, war or no war.
The hitherto wasted resource of
ouri door yard should be utilized at
once. II is no more work for woman

10 tend flower garden or house

to subordinate flowers to food.
