i might have been fairly suc cessful i had no id«a of leaving it until brown of the firm of brown smith & jones came to me and said as you know old fosp our confi dential man is de;id we think it better to fill his place with a young man and i have to offer it to you 11 the firm hud a private bank and dealt in stocks it also did consider able carg ifrsnranc placed loan ' bought mortgage shaved notas and made money in other dignifies and respectable ways it had been doing business for twenty years and was j rated conservative and = mud th onlv curious thing about the pa-in was the trio composing it ijrown was an old bachi lor of iifty he was i u1i angular nd homely and the only woman he could endure was his land l:vdy smith was live yeais older and i j married but had no children he was short f.at and taciturn r i < - v t ■ r sneaking to anybody when ho could help it his wife n»ver went into society and smith never entered u church joiws whs a little man almost small enough to be called a dwarf but with an awful dignity about him he was over forty a single man but was gen erally supposed to be looking around there were rumors that some one had once called him the napoleon of the west and if lie had any particular weakness it was that of attending thursday evening prater meeting no business mutter no matter how important could prevent his regular attendance although he took no active part in the exercises and was never known to contribute a dollar to the church having accepted the post 1 found my duties to be almost numberless i opened the mail sorted the letters and attended to the correspondence 1 checked on the cashier verified all the balance investigated all risks hunted up the standing of nil would be borrower ami to a great extent ha ' charge of the entire business in less than a week 1 found that each one of the firm had his peculiarity as follows brown would never open the mail smith would never answer a letter jo'iea would never sign a check it took me a couple of years to fall into the ways of these strange men but in spite of their eccentricities they were very good to me and trusted me almost without limit everything had run along very smoothly and nothing whatever had happened to break the routine when something dropped from a clear skv our private offices weiv arranged so that i occupied the first which was also a consulting room then each of the firm had a private office back of that and each retired to it when not otherwise engaged one forenoon about 11 o'clock while i was j alone in the front office a lady entered j it was rarely that a woman had any | business with us beyond the teller's i window and i was considerably sur prised at the presence of tins one she was about twenty-five years uld hand some as a picture and i soon hud rea sou tii declare to myself that her man ners were fascinating she took my breath away by inquiring it brown wiifl in so ffl'r as the legend of the office wenk he had never yet hfen interviewed by a woman and i hesi tated to reply to her direct question i have business of importance with j him she continued ami desire to see him in his private office it i the first one on the left i believe pray don't trouble yourself to announce me she went to the door and rapped drown opened it and when he saw her standing there lie turned pale and stag gered back she entered ami closed the door behind her and was closeted with him a full hour if 1 wasdnm-b founded at this action i was almost paralyzed at his conduct as they came out " fie was actually boring ami smirking and trying to be gallant he the man who insisted that his landlady should never employ a female servant unless she was hunchback or cross eved he followed her through tin room fled our to the door of the bnnk i and when h returned ii was smiling 1)1 iiidlv and liis lips were moving as if talking to him?elf up didn't say a word to mo if ho had i could not have replied to him as i was com-j pletnly knocked out j\fter that day i noticed n marked i clian«re in brown he sepmed to thaw out to take more interest in life and 1 caught on to the fact that he was writing private letters to some one one day he added to my astonishment l»v calling me into hi private room and inquiring if it wouldn't br a good things for us to nick up a silver mine out iii nevada providing wo got u low figure and a sure thing the iifxr astonishing circumstance happened a week later 1 vvw nut on the street it 11 oo an hour when every man of the firm was invaria y closeted with himself when i suddenly caught sight of jones going into a hotel l>e lieving mvseit to be the victim of nn optical delusion i soon followed and as i looked about the office the clerk beckoned o me and said room 44 mrs temple — silver mine she had been to the office to call on brown and now she had probably sent word to jones to cull on her i would have bet a hundred to one that jones wouldn't have gone even to close a f\p.i in which thpre was a sure profit of 810,000 but there he was sure enough an i i began to teel annoyed and un easy i was at the oflice when jones returned two hours later lie not only h.id a grin on his face but he fek so good that lie actually whistled a bar or two of a popular air if anything further was needed to convince me that things were at sixes anl sevens in the house of brown smith & jones the conduct of brown j furnished it on a certain wednes-j day morning he wri twenty-eight ; miante late as if this vrero not enough he came in looking flustrated ; and excited an hour later a boy brought a note which 1 curried to his room it was addressed in a woman's hand and within twenty minutes after receiving it he left the bank evidently to k"e ui appointment 11s ha;l hardly gone when jones carae out to ma and began to discuss business mat ter this iiad never happened before and 1 was regarding him with surprise ami astonishment when he observed if we could pick up a silver min ! known by insiders to be worth a mil lion dollars and get it for about 130,000 it might be a good invest ment eh 1 mumbled something in reply and he took three or four turns across the room a 1 disappeared into his private oih'ee at i o'clock smith came in he had forgotten his usual dignity of entrance and was so absent-minded that he hung up his co.it oa the wrotig hook he fidgeted and then observed i have had an offer of mining property which promises great things d'd you ever hear of the queen anne mine af nevada ' 1 replied that 1 never had and after sitting in a deep study for a while ho ilso retired he had evidently been to see mrs temple also sirs tem ple then was a woman who had a silver mine to dispose of of all thn men in the world whom i should have hesi tated to approach were the three com prising our firm of all the people liable to succsod with them a woman would ba the very last 1 couldn't make it out it seemed to me that the natural order of things had been re versed before the meek as out jones es corted mrs temple to the theatre brown had taken her out for a drive and there were well-founded rumors that smith had sent her a boquet i then bet to find who mrs temple was j no one could give me any information ! beyond the fact that she was the widow : of a nevada mine owner and that she ! had come east for the purpose of dis posing of some mining property she had charts and maps and diagrams of lands and mines and seemed to be well posted as to the business on hand it i was however the general impression ! that she was a sharper or adventuress ! with a man behind her somewhere and i it was furthsr told me that brown ' smith and jones individually and col i lectively were infatuated with her i always wondered why she did not attempt to secure my assistance in her project but she probsbly either mis it rusted that i suspected her or she ! thought she could work her cards without my assistance while each of the three partners knew that each of til others had bean approached oa the surue subject — that of buying the mine — neither of thorn knew that the other had been done for by her fascinating ways i have the strongest grounds for stating three separate and distinct beliefs fust that jones expected to marry her socond that brown expected to marry iier third that smith had become m infatuated that he would have run awav with her leaving wife business and all wall the proposition to buy her silver mine came up at the business meeting one morning there wa nothing in the looks or wards of either party to lead one to mistrust that he had ever met her or talked it over before it would have been proper to send ome pert out to the mine to investigate and report but she had given them the iiaiwes of parties to vrrite to.|ind it was agreed that if reports were favorable the deal should b^jnlosed i now for the iivst time iearned • !: . •■ < ion of i the mine i h ■•■! noi or • on he ! site and knew the mino 1 ■ '•■• • ■ h les but had frighds t :

jrown suddenly asked the two ; other members to congratulate him as he had decided to get married they had hardly done so when tones an j nounced that he had also determined ; on the same step smith couldn't fol low suit having a wife already but he flushed up and looked confused and i seemed about to declare that he was going to elope but caught himself and , stopped short ten days had elapsed and answers to njy letters were expected every day when i was ent to a town a hundred i miles away on business which detained j ne two days returning at 10 clock ' on the morning of the third i caught sight of airs temple entering the sec ond nationaljbank where our surplus was on deposit and on which all checks of over 1 000 were drawn it struck i me that the letters written in the ' name of the firm had arrived and th deal had been closed during my ab sence i followed her in and my jf ears wore realized indeed jonesscame in • after me to identify her it was make . or break and as she presented the j check i said to jones j let her wait until i can run over to ourbank-and return mr haspeth the teller please delay payment until a trifling irregularity can be arranged jones called to me'and ran after me but i did not stop or answer oa ar riving at our bank i found throe letters ■ addre«'<cd to me from parties in nevada i took tirr 1 to read only four or five lines of ea<;h and then calling on smith and brown to follow hastened to th other bank we had a lively vow i can assure you.qthe letters ad dressed to the bank made the mine out to be a big thing butj those from my friends shunped it as a fraud it was finally agreed that the check should be i returned until further investigation \ could be made and that evening the 1 adventuress skipped to be heard f"no more 1 i do not know how the partners set ' tied it among themselves but i know they had a private meeting lasting over two hours perhaps each one of them candidly admitted that he had made all ass of himself and promised better things in future all i know is that when the meeting broke up affairs in the hank of brown smith & jones resumed their old-time routine and the only aliusbn to the affair was made by jones who s;iid mr whitbeck i am instructed to inform you that your industry and attention to business has not escaped our observation and your salary for the next fiscal year will be 2,500 — new
