1 But It Proved to Be $ I a Burden $ By REGINALD D. HERON 44&$4Ai&S&iS& My lutervlow with ISdlth's father was n stormy one. llo gnvo me to understand that 1 could hnvo no daughter of Ills; thnt If 1 persuaded Kdlth to marry mo without his con hunt ho would never recognize cither of us any more than If wo were stran gem to him, and thnt the results of pur folly and Udlth's lngratltudo must bo endured without uny nsslstnnco whntover from him. "What kind of a young man are you," ho thundered, "for a gentleman to glvo his daughter to' As poor as a church mouse, you have come hero In n hired carriage to see me." "Yes," I retorted, "and I'll go away In tho carriage In which I came." "And I hope you'll stay away." iVt' turned our hacks upon each oth er, ho to go Into another room. I to go out and get Into the cab. 1 saw Edith at an upper window with n pnlned expression on her face. Hho kissed her linud to me, and I wnved mine to her. Then I got Into the cab, shut tho door with a bang and was Urivcn away, As It huppWd I sat down on tho left side of tho carriage, whereas 1 hnd como on tho right Hide. Tho scat was uneven, but 1 was too hot from my recent Interview to uotlco It for some time. - Presently without getting my mind off tholattcr 1 endeavored to nrrunge the former. The hump re mained. I arose and lifted the cush Ion. Thoro lay a package about seven Inches long by three wide, the wrapper beliuf brown paper. I was not so ab sorbed In having been refused tbo girl 1 loved but that 1 removed It and revealed a package of bank bills. Tho one on top was of tho denomination of $100. Tho next wns $1,000. tho next $500, and so on of mixed denomina tions to tho end. 1 counted $50,000 In All. Hero was a ilnd-a big flnd-a deuced hip find. It would be Impossible to give the confusion of thoughts pass ing 'hrough my mind. I had stumbled upop the wherewithal to recoup. Kdll'i would yet be mine. Would the ownor of the bills turn up? What would be the outcomo? These wore a few of the flashes upon my brain, but give only a faint picture of tho tur moil there. I can ouly say In Justice to myself that almost Instantly nil gavo way to tho fact that tho money was not mine and Its owner must ba found. During tho uoxt few days 1 bought every newspaper Issued Ju tho city whero I lived and hud found tho bills, not doubting thnt their loss would be advertised. When the next morning after I had found thorn I saw no uo tlco of them I was surprised. When on tho second morning no uotlco ap peared I was astonished, and on the third morning, having gone through with n dozen nowspapers without find lug what I looked for, I was amazed. On tho morning of tho eighth day 1 received a telegram from my college chum, Ilenry Uarker: Coma at once. Tho position Is vacunl and ennnot remain bo forty-oliiht hours. This was In responso to n letter 1 hnd written a few days before to Uar ker. who hud succeeded his father at president of a largo manufacturing es tabllshmcnt. asking him to glvo mo 'Job. I am not one to go back on jnj proposition nnd began at onco m.v hurried preparation to leave. Hui what should l do with tho bills I lint' found? Acting on tho prlnclplo "tin least said the soonest mended," I had kept the unit tor to myself and the money under lock and key, 1 being the only one who knew where, I iiiusl net at once. 1 thought of depositing the, bills In a Imuk. No; thnt wouldn't do tit all. Fifty thousand dollars of stranger's money in one's po3sesslot involved danger. It might laud tin Under in Jail.- To give It to u friend for snfu keeping would require deposit lug the seeivt with him at tho sauii time. , 1 spent hours turning over differ cnt plans uud finally settled on th following: l weiit to a safety doposl company and rented a box. It was tu last thing 1 did before taking a train nud I was In a dreadful hurry. Mj plan was to use an assumed name, hul In tho hurry of preparation I had nol settled upon u inline. When the cus todlau, an old man, took out IiIh boot nnd asked "What nnme?" 1 gave bin the llrst that came Into my hond-Gus-tuvus Hall Williams, llu vmle I down; handed me tho key to the box went with mo to tho vault. I pip awiiy the bills, turned the key uud fot the first tlniu since 1 had found their felt relieved Uarker put me In a position that had not been prepared to fill. He sail he knew 1 could learn tho duties ns ' 'went along. I did leant them, but in mind was fixed on them to tho cxclu slou of everything else. I thought o 'the fortune locked up In tho safe do posit company once In nwhlle, bir .since there was nothing concerning I 'to think about more than when I lef !lt my mental dwellings upon It wen very brief and less and less frequent I hud paid a year's rental for tho bos .and given an address that dldnotoxlst So I was not troubled with any com munlcntloiiH from tho company to ro mind me of It. To tell tho truth, I was more Inter w octod in Edith Ford than tn some one cl.se's money which hnd fallen Into my possession nnd which Instead of being a blessing was a burden. Hnrker ad vanced me rapidly. Kdlth remained true to mc, and her father, having been ngreeahly disap pointed In mo, consented lo our mar rlage. All was leinly for the nuptial when one day n shabby man with a hangdog look about him came Into the olllco and asked to see mc. "This Is Mr. George Wlnchell?" lie asked, "That's my naino." He look a dirty paper from his pock et. to which he referred, and said; "On the 12(11 of November, 11)-, John I'lynn, driving cab No. 58. took up a fare at the door of the University club iinil drove the gentleman to 210 Sum mit avenue" "Never mind the rest of that." I said. "Tell If you are looking for nny thing that was lost." The man nppeared III at ense. "Please don't speak so loud. sir. If you nre the man who was driven that day in that cab from the University club to" "I was, (So on." "Von may have found a packago of bills." "I did." At this point the man hesitated, and, seeing that he was not getting on with his revelation. I took him to a private room and said: "Now, out with It." After much trouble I learned thnt ho had got the money 1 had found from a gentleman to carry somewhere and had hired a cab for the purpose. Not daring to fake the bills out of tho cab when ho allghfed, fearing nn arrest, ho left It under tho seat, taking note of tho cnb's number. Ho was arrested for having stolen nn ovcrcont nnd wns sent to prison for n year. IIo bad re cently been dlschnrged, some tlmo hav ing Itcen taken off his stay for good be havior, and had communicated with the man from whom he hnd got the bills, nnd the two hnd set about trac ing them. Tho person who had employ ed tiltn to curry the money was a cash ier of sotno Institution, from which he had purloined It. I had had enough of tho matter nnd ngreed to a plan by which tho amount could bo returned to Its rightful own ers, they paying tho rascals a small sum and guaranteeing their immunity from prosecution. All tho details had boon arranged when It occurred to me thnt I had rented the box in which I had deposited It in n fictitious name. What nn!no7 I could np more re member than I could repeat the book 3f .lob. As soon as I could get away front my duties I took a train for my for mer home nnd on nrrlvnl drove to the safe deposit company and asked for the custodian. A young man stepped forward, and I asked for the old gen tleman who had rented me a box about a year before. IIo had died five months ago nnd the young man had been put lu his place. My story ns to tho routing of the box was told that I had not given my own mime and had forgotten the assumed one. I was Informed thnt 1 would llud tho number of tho box on my key. but 1 replied thnt, hnvlng been fearful of loslug tho key, I hnd put It In a very safe place, but where I hud also forgotten. Then the custodian looked grave. Tho money must remain where it was till I produced the name or tho key. What was 1 to do? 1 had acknowl edged thnt 1 had found the lost hills and still had them lu my posscsslou. I wns bound to restore them, nnd If I didn't 1 would bo Biicd for them and likely prosecuted criminally, itelng about to bo married, I was in an ag ony or fear lest tho matter should come out nnd bo printed in the news papers ou tho ovo of my wedding, I went to Hurker, who was more llko n brother to mo than an employ er, nud told him of tho fix I was In, While he was ready to do anything for mo in tils fiower, there seemod to be nothing dellulto for him to do. lie could not help showing a slight suspi cion. This rovenled to mo that my story was not very credible. 1 was in agony. Meanwhile the parties con cerned began to grow suspicious of mc. Then I wns told that If 1 didn't pny over tho monoy at onco I would bo arrested. I realized that 1 must ralso $50,000 or go to jail, besides losing Kdlth. I asked how long a time I would bo given for tho purposo nud wns told that I could huvo n week. I laid tho matter before Harker, and tils nffectlon for mo couquored his doubts and his Indisposition to pay out for mu $50,000 that ho might nover get back. IIo drew nVcheck for tlio money, payable- to mo, and 1 turned it over to the persons who wero hounding me, Hut I realized that u wedge had been Introduced between mo and Harker that would not bo removed until I could return tho monoy ho had put up for me. A fow days boforo tho wedding I went on a visit to Kdlth to confess to her tho Incubus resting upon me. I told her tho story, to which bIio listen ed eagerly nud, when I had finished, said: "I wonder if what I have upstairs that you sent mo long ago has any thing to do with the mnttor." "What did I send you 7" lustead of replying she left mo and In a few minutes returned with a box of trinkets, through which sho began to hunt. Thero wero bits of old Jew elry and odds and ends of nil kinds. Presently sho took out a little flat bit of metal with Irregular teeth on one side. I made a dive for It, and, hold ing It up, I saw stumped ou It the number .'100. Thou, like n flush, I ro mombered having sent a duplicate key of my nnfo deposit box I hud been given two-to Kdlth to keep for me lu cuso I should lose the ouo I retained. Too Muoh For Webster, In the somewhat famous enco of Mrs. Dodgen's will, which was tried in the supremo court many years ago, Daniel Webster' appeared as counselor for tho appellant Mrs. arcenough, wlfo of tho Itev. William Grecnoiigh, was a very self possessed witness. Notwithstanding Mr. Webster's repeat ed efforts to disconcert tier, sho pur sued the oven tenor of her .rr.y until Webster, becoming quite fearful of tho result, arose, apparently In great agi tation, nnd, drawing out his Inrgo snuffbox, thrust ills thumb nud finger to tho very bottom nnd, cnrrylng n deep filnch to both nostrils, drew It up with gusto, and then, extracting from his pocket n very largo handkerchief, he blow Ills noso with a report that rang distinct nnd loud through the crowded hall. IIo then asked, "Mrs. Greouough, wns Mrs. Bodgen n nent woman?" "I cannot glvo you full Information ns to that, sir. She had one very dirty trick," replied tho witness. "What was thnt, ma'am?" "Sho took snuff!" Resting on His Laurels. An undertaker was discussing quoor sepultures. "A queer sepulture Indeed," ho snld. "was that of n Gormnn plnywrlglit, Oustnvo von Moscr. Von Moser kept in his house a. costly nnd beautiful urn. Ho purposed to bo cremated, nnd Ills nshos wero to bo put In tho urn nfter ward. "But the strangest thing about tho urn was that It contained a little lied of ashes during Von Moser" life. IIo used, you see, to got a good ninny lnu rcl wrenths when his now plnyB were put on, nnd ho would tiko a Bprlg from each wreath, burn and drop the ashes Into tho urn.
