He Took Her
For a Thief
By DANIEL WINSTON
Copyright by American Aim
elation, 1911.
Perry Atkinson. Immaculately dressed
and with a pearl stickpin In his cravat,
was waiting on the platform o f a sea
side station at the height of the sum
mer season. A number of persons were
there, some to receive friends, some to
see friends off. all waiting for a train.
When it rolled up to the station At
kinson craned bis neck with the rest
like a turkey gobbler hunting for some
favorable point to fly over a fence.
While thus looking up he suddenly
felt two arms thrown around bis neck
and a pair of lips pressed to his.
Now, at this especial resort, situated
not far from a lame city, were many
different classes of persons, from the
highest to the lowest. When Atkinson
felt himself In the embrace of a wo
man who was a stranger 10 him the
first explanation of the situation that
entered his head was (bat It was a
game to relieve him of his money.
Disengaging himself ns quii-kly as p?s
slble. he clapped his hand to his hip.
where he kept his pocket book. lie
was relieved to find the wallet there.
Then he instinctively felt for his pearl
scarf pin. and it was gone!
By this time the woman who had
embraced hito-a girl of twenty? was
standing looking at him with a puz
zled expression which, as she gazed,
developed Into one of horror.
"I greatly fear." she stammered,
"that I have made a mistake."
"You certainly have mado a mistake
if you take me for a 'flat.'- You hand
out my stickpin mighty quick or I'll
call the police."
At this the girl pnt on an expression
to describe which language is Inade
quate. Iler face was scarlet; her eyes
flashed alternate Indignation and fear.
Then snddenly Atkinson made a dive
for her skirt, where he saw his scarf
pin banging, and canght It as It was
about to fall to the ground. Tutting It
in its proper place, he gave the girl a
final glance and was about to turn
away when she said:
"Do you mean to tell me that you
are not Ben Wlllard.
"I don't know the gentleman."
"You are the Image of him," the girl
added, ready to burst Into tears.
Atkinson gave her another look as If
undecided whether to apologize or say
something harsh, then walked away
very much disgruntled While he had
been thus engaged a friend he had
come to the station to receive had es
caped him. As he walked to the sum
mer residence where he was staying
he began to see the episode In Its true
proportions and to become conscious
of having made a guy of himself. Be
fore the day was over he regretted not
having apologized to the girl and long
ed for an opportunity to undo what he
had done.
The next time Mr. Atkinson met the
young lady whom he had mistaken for
a thief he was dancing the cotillion
at one of the "cottages." A line of
ladles was advancing toward a line
of gentlemen, and as the lines met the
first gentleman whirled away with the
first lady. In the coming lino of ladles
Atkinson suddenly espied the heroine
of the stickpin. This In Itself was em
barrassing, but when he counted the
men ahead of him and the ladles
ahead of the girl In question and dis
covered that she would fall to him for
a partner his heart sank down Into the
heels of his patent leather boots.
When the couples ahead of them
were reduced to three Atkinson saw
the girl's eyes fixed upon him and
shuddered. lie saw by her expression
that she was about to take her re
venge. When all those who bad pre
ceded them had sailed away In the
dance and they stood face to face the
girl turned on her heel, presenting her
back to Atkinson In sight of all pres
ent, and marched out of the room.
Atkinson made way for the man
next behind him. wishing that some of
those standing about would shoot him.
He made his exit through a door oppo
site the one by which the young lady
had passed out and left the house.
The rest of the evening was given
up by those who were not dancing to a
discussion of what Atkinson, who was
known to be a gentleman and a favor
ite socially, had done to draw forth an
expression of such contempt.
The next fortnight was one of pro
found suffering to Atkinson. He sent
friend after friend to the young lady.
Miss Langdon. with explanations and
apologies. No reply came from any of
them. When he met her on the beach
she did not notice him. Had she shown
again signs of her contempt he would
have liked It better. He declined all
invitations, fearing that he would meet
her. But when an intimate friend
gave a cotillion party at which he was
obliged to be present he was horror
stricken to see Miss Langdon among
the guests. He tried to shirk dancing
the cotillion, but failed. 8lttlng In his
chair, the picture of misery, waiting
while the ladles were offering favors,
what was his astonishment to see the
girl be bad taken for a thief advance
toward him, smiling, and hand him a
favor.
It seemed as If the tortures of Tar
tarus were replaced by a heavenly
balm. Placing his arm around her
waist, he sailed away with her, neither
speaking, yet both attracting, from the
nature of the case, much attention.
When they had finished their whirl At
kinson said to her:
"Only an angel would have forgiven
me my stupid blunder."
"Only a fiend would have denied you
forgiveness"
BIG BEAR ROBS
DOLLY B CiP
John E. Clark, of the Dolly B. mine
came Into Siagway Tuesday night
and reports that, everything is moving
along smoothly with the mining oper
ations on the East Pork. He and his
partner Wilson have got In about 25
on the ledge now.
There Is one thing that Is hamper
ing them In their work, and that Is
the difficulty of preserving their grub
in their tent from the depredations
of wild animals. Their camp Is sit
uated about 500 feet below their
workings. A few week? ago they
were robbed by a porcupine for sev
eral days In succession; they caught
the old fellow one morning and had
him made into a mulligan when the
Alaskan representatives came out the
following Sunday.
Now, however, they find themselves
confronted by another camp robber
against which there is little that can
be done without perhaps Invoking
the wrath of Uncle Sam, as repre
sented by his minions, the game ward
ens.
Three times In succession while
they were up drilling, shooting and
mucking away at their property, a
good sired bear hAs gone down and
made free with their camp out/it.
Old Brain had a particular fondness
for sugar and tore off the screw-top
lid of the can In which it was stored
and got away with the whole supply.
He even went to the fire and took a
pot of beans off and spilled them all
over the place; meats and other stuff
also were taken.
The tracks Indicate that the old
fellow is of considerable magnitude
physically and that he would be a b?|
customer to tackle In the manner the
law provide*, If his color happens to
be brown. If he Is black they hope
to put a stop to his depredations and
to stay where they are and continue
the work, but If he is brown then
they will have to stop operations and
let him have the camp for the law
makes It a criminal offense to kill
brown bear.
Clark says he will take a chance
on the color and set a trap fov him.
J. M. Keller will return to Haines

ter the office hastily and In an ex
cited manner, assumed no doubt for
the occasion, to leave by an opposite
door. He appeared no more that day
lie stated the next morning In expla
nation that as he was passing through
Leailenhall market on his way to th?
office he accidentally trod on a butch
er's heel. 'I apologised." said Lamb,
'to the butcher, but the latter retort
ed: "Yes, bnt your excuses won't cure
my broken heel, and, ? me," said he,
seizing his knife, "I'll have It out of
you!" '
"l.amb fled from the butcher and. In
dread of his pursuit, dared not remain
for the rest of the day at the India
bouse. This story was accepted as a
humorous excuse for taking a holiday
without leave."
