They have hardly started operations when Denton meets with a serious accident and again Harper shows the manner of man he is by nursing his pal back to health and strength. This brings about a strong friendship and they go to work with a will and it is not long before they strike it "rich. Weighing up their gold dust they find they have a handseme pile and are now on easy street. Harper goes out to work and has proceeded but a short distance when he is seen by the treacherous Mexican who stealthily watches him on his way and then makes tracks fcr the pals' shack. Just after Harper leaves the shack Denton receives a telegram from his wife telling him his mother is sick and advising him to return home at once. He leaves a letter for Harper with the despatch stating that he will leave the gold dust intact as he has sufficient cash and the message will explain the cause of hishasty departure. The Mexican can be seen peering through the wind'w watching Denton and the hiding of the dust in the chimney. Denton then hastily exits and hurries for the train. The villainous greaser enters the cabin, steals the gold and destroys the letter and telegram and replaces them with a note saying Denton had gotten tired and skipped. When Harper returns and finds the note he is furious, tells the sheriff and follows Denton East.

LUBINMFG. CO. "SHADOW AND SUNSHINE."— The clerk grown grey in the faithful service of a single employer, arrives one morning to find the young nephew of his boss ( ccupying the desk he himself has had so long. Brutally he is told that he is too old to perform his duties properly and is ordered away. At first his stunned brain is unable to comprenend the situation, but gradually he comes to realize that he is being dismissed and frantically he pleads for a chance to make a living, pointing out that with the small wage paid him he has been unable to save anything and in a frenzy seeks to take his chair by force from the younger man. But he is driven from the office and in a daze he makes his slow progress homeward to tell the faithful wife that he has been dismissed. a pencil, the property of the firm. This is taken from him and the employer insists upon making further search for what he terms stolen property. The gold is disclosed and refusing to believe so strange a tale a policeman is called in and all adjourn to the police station. It is agreed that the money does not belong to the old man, but a young reporter "doing police" draws out a copy of his paper and shows that the old man is heir to the property and therefore the legal owner of the money. The clerk is released, the employer given stinging dismissal and the clerk passes from out cf the Shadow of Poverty into the Sunshine of Prosperity. "SPOONY SAM."— Sam could not help spooning any more than he could help eating. He had three square meals a day and spent the remainder of the time spooning pretty Sue. Sue was quite willing to be spooned though there was another chap who wanted to marry her and Sam had a fine time. But Pa Sprague, Sue's father, had forgotten long ago the time when he himself was young and he had no sympathy with spooners. He told Sue she could not see Sam except in the house where Pa and Ma could keep an eye on them and Sue, like a dutiful daughter, sent word to Sam. But that didn't help matters much. Here, at least, he finds sympathy, but it is the sympathy of a common sorrow, for she, too, realizes that they have been plunged into the Shadows of Poverty. Bravely the old man ges out to look for work, but none have use for him and sometimes churlishly, sometimes with pity he is told there is nothing for him. One or two offer charity, but this is refused. He cannot bring himself to take alms. And when the shadows seem the blackest a solution of the problem seems to suggest itself. He cann't longer support his wife. Their scanty st're of money will last longer if there is only one to spend it and all will be kinder to the widowed woman. His foot has caught in a length of rops and with this in his hand he seeks the seclusion of a deser ed building. Throwing the rops arcund a beam and c'.imbing upon an old box he murmurs a brief prayer and kicks the box away. " The beam is rctten and the sudden weight tears it from its support. There is a shower of plaster and something "that tinkles and the surprised suicide finds himself sitting amidst thousands of dollars in gold and paper money. It seems a dream at first but the money is very real and with trembling hands the old man fills a pocket. Now that he has money he feels more brave and he returns to the old office to argue with his employer against his dismissal. It is to no avail, but in his vest pocket is Sam spconed just the same. That was too much for Pa Sprague and he went after the minister. Immediate marriage took Sam all of a heap and he made a sprint for the door that was a record-breaker, and he didn't stop running until the sight of a young married couple admiring their first baby. That gave
