How the Rip Roarer
Mine Changed Hands, i

(Original]
The Hip Roarer <! old Mining company
wa* au institution of Colorado. There
had beeu a great ileal of manipulation
la the stock. auil most of the orlglual
Investors had beeu frozen out. This
haviug been accomplished, the man
agers were lislug tlie original pay
j uients to sink a shaft, with u vle\r to
.striking an lniineusely rich vein of ore
' which the? had reason to believe ex
tended within the limits of their prop
erly. If they struck this vein and It
proved as rleh is in its other parts,
ihe Kip ltoarer mine would be worth
uiany millions of dollars; if not. Ulp
j ltoarer shares would continue to sell at
1 o cents on the dollar.
! Now. the men who had got control of
; a majority of Kip ltoarer slock had uo
i iuteutlon that a "strike" should ae
j erne to the benefit of any one except
j themselves. Consequently they built a
' higli fence around the mouth of the
shaft, beyond which they would per
mit none of their miners to go nor to
have any communication with Ihe out
side world. 1 !?e men were permitted
to write and receive letters, but every
outgoing letter must be read by the
company's i t Hi1 The object of all
Ibis was in pi. ieui news of any prob

agers had pii kid lip ill Ihe tloallng

of the llip Kn.irer company. Several

endeavoring to throw bits of paper

A Pool Id Matrimony.
? ?
[Original.]
"My dear marquis. we can't all mar
ry tills splendid fortune, with an Auier
N an girl for an Incumbrance, and uoue
hi' us has the rneaus to court her prop
trly. You. having her acquaintance
and being the son of a duke, have the
I test I'Uauce. Now, I propose that we
make up a pool to be yours for the pur
puses of courtship and to be returned
t'> r.s with, say, llX> per cent Interest
after marriage."
The arrival of Molly Flick, the daugh
ter of the head of the Ann of Flick &
Co.. oue of the largest American meat
concerns, was known twelvu hours
after it occurred to every Impecunious
noble fortune hunter hi Paris. The
remarks quoted were the result of a
dispute between several of them as to
who should have a free field to wlu the
prize. The proposition was accepted
by the Marquis of Courteuiacbe and
the rest of the company. Not uiore
tliau 1.20U francs could l>e raised by
the subscription, hut this was handed
over to the marquis, who called that
very evening on Miss Flick autl began
to lay siege to her heart.
"How do, marquis?" she exclaimed.
"Awful glad to see your'
"I caiue, mademoiselle, to ask your
mother and yourself to go with uie to
the opera."
"Mother! Goody gra ,'lous. marquis!
I>o you suppose 1 have my mother
J traipsing around after me? No. sir!
| I'll go to the opera wHb you, but D>
| mother for me."
"But, mademoiselle, lu Purls that
would occaslou remark."
"Oh. that's It! Very well, we'll taKe
mother. Will you go, mammy?"
"1 suppose I'll have to."
The young mail proceeded method
Ically. During this his lirst call he told
Miss Molly of his uucieut lineage, wind
ing up with a decrlptiou of the chateau
of the I'ourtemaches, built several cen
turies ago and now a ruin. Then, helv
ing a deep sigh, he said he would love
to repair and live lu It. Miss Molly lis
tened attentively and asked whut It
would cost. The uiurquls replied thai
It would require 5,i>fH).ono francs, or a
million of dollars, whereupon the girl
remarked that If that was all she won
dered why be didn't make them at
I once.
The uiaiquis after his visit met his
friends at the club aud reported prog
ress. For a mouth he devoted hlMself
to the heiress. He not only utcuni
panied her on her sightseeing tours to
Versailles, Fontaiuebleau. Sevres and
other curious poluts lu the environs of
Paris, but secured for her aud her
mother Invitations to the best house:*
In Paris.
Hut ut the end of the mouth Gastou
one morning awoke to Buil lu tils vest
pocket but a single uupoleou of the
money furnished hiiu. It was ueces
sarv that he bring matters to a head.
Naif the uapoleou lie spent for candy
and the other hnlf for flowers. These
he sent Misa Flick during the day. It
occurred to him to sa ve a few francs
for u breakfast the morning after his
proposal, but If he succeeded lu win
ning the heiress he could make a fur
ther loau from his frleuds, and he wus
sure of winning.
About 9 o'clock lu the evening he
went to the hotel where the Flicks ao
jourued aud sent up bla card. While
waiting he paced back aud forth lu a
terrible suspense. It seemed au age
till he was summoned, though It was
only ten mluutes. I'shered luto the
apartment used for a reception room,
he saw standing on a table the flowers
be had sent and the box of candy.
The Im>x was empty.
"Come iu here, marquis!" called the
cheery voice of Miss Molly.
With visions of a private boudoir
dauclug In his head. Gaston entered the
next room. He saw uo oue there.
"Why don't you come In?" came a
voice from au adjoluing room.
The marquis did as he had been
? bidden. Still he saw uo oue.
"This room," presently came the
voice.
| "Oh, mademoiselle, what Is this pret
ty game you are playing? Where are
you? l>o you call to uie from heaven?"
i hope not. I dou't waut to go to
heaven Just yet. I'm lu here."
Agalu the marquis entered another
I'ouui, only to lie leil farther. Indeed,
the rooms all communicated, aud the
i girl led him In a circle till he stood
again where he had started. In. the re
ception room. He was very much cha
grined at being forced to play this
Juvenile game for the amusement of
Miss Flick, but he remembered that
she was barely etghteeu, aud. If no
French girl would have doue the same,
there was uo French girl with au enor
mous fortune that he could marry. 80
he kept his temper aud wore a perpet
ual suille, thinking that after all It was
very droll.
"You're getting warm," came the
girl's voice as he weut bunting through
the room.
"Very warm."
"Baking hot."
He weut to a curtain hanging be
fore a recess. He knew Miss Flick
was behind It. How strange these
Americans! He pulled aside the cur
tain and started back. A young man
'was with the girl.
"Game's up!" cried Molly. "Mar
quis, this Is George Trlmmln?ham, Just
come over to Join us. He brought me
this." Aud on the third finger of her
left hand she displayed a ring. "The
martinis has been awful nice to me,
George; took me to the opera and lots
of places. You'll show George around,
won't you? He doesn't know any
thing about Paris. That's a dear old
marquis."
The next morning Gaston weut with
out his breakfast, and pool stock stood
at zero. iOUISS C. FAHKELL.
