a LETTER written by George Wash
"A ington, regarded as most inter-

Henry Cady Sturges of New York city.

Winton's proposal of marriage had
been in nowise an act inspired by the
sense Of having placed the girl in
false position. He loved Sheila. When
he was away from her he realized the
folly of his precipitancy; he knew
nothing of her, and his sense of pru-
dence reproached him. But in her pres
ence he felt that without her existence.
would be hardly endurable.
He loved her, present or absent;
only, absent, the conventions of his up

him wait. He resolved TO wait. and he
was confident that he could win her.
AS soon as work began on the Big
Malopo he meant to give her father the
position Of compound manager and to
establish them near him. Meanwhile
he moved from the Continental TO an
other hotel OF the same type, on the
opposite side of the market square,

and supper. The rest Of the day he

the chamber of commerce Judge
Davis formally acknowledged Winton's
claims. Winton's first act was to dis

active since the discovery of the big

out bricks for them, and a dozen trans
