SYKES'
CLERK
By SARAH BAXTER
Jeremiah Sykes was a clerk In a
small store lii the cast till he had by
saving accumulated some capital; tlieu
ho went out to Colorado to become n
merchant ou his own account This
was years ago.
Sykes' store was located at a cross
roads In a mining district In the far
west, and the proprietor did a thriv
ing business, supplying the wants of
miners in a circuit of fifteen miles. lie
did all his work himself because he
couldn't hire a clerk for less than 5100
a month, and that would eat up a good
6hare of his profits.
One day a man came into the store
to buy some goods, and after settling
the bill asked Sykes how he managed
to handle so much business alone.
Sykes told him that lie should havo a
helper and why ho dldnt got oue. The
mau suggested that ho could hire a
woman cheap enough, and after some
conversation said ho knew a woman
who would be glad to work for what
ever Sykes thought he could afford to
pay. The merchant told him to send
her along and he would see about It.
A few days after that a young wo
man appeared at the store, and Sykes
hired her for a very small salary. He
soon learned that she was as valuable
to him as a man, but he did not raise
her salary. Moreover, he tested her
honesty by leaving cash where she
could take It without being discovered,
but she called his attention to it, at
the same time remarking on his care
lessness.
At this time n desperado called Sim
mons was doing a good deal of dam
age In the neighborhood nud Sykes
thought It would be better for him to
hire u man instead of a woman, since
he might need help If Simmons came
down on him. lie mentioned the mat
ter to his clerk and she said that she
could use n revolver as well as a man,
and If anything happened she would
prove It Sykes was persuaded and
kept her In her position, but he didn't
pay her a mail's wages.
Sykes' clerk became so useful to him
that he gradually loft one duty after
another to her that he had always con
sidered he must attend to himself, and
finally he turned over to her his book
keeping. Notwithstanding the evidence
he had of her honesty, he couldn't
bring himself to confide his cash to
her. When a robber band dashed Into
a bank or a store they threatened to
kill whoever knew the safe combina
tion unless it were given up. Sykes
argued that if he alone could open the
safe there would bo less likelihood of
loss thau If another possessed It, espe
cially if that other was a woman, lie
gave this to his clerk as un excuse for
not entrusting her with the combina
tion, aud she admitted that it was a
very wise precaution.
Sykes kept turning over his capital
so steadily that there was never much
cash on hand. He was always owing
money for {roods, and as soon as he
received remittances to my consider
able amount he paid it out to his cred
itors. One day his clerk asked him
why he didn't let his creditors wait
for their money instead of paying so
promptly aud make interest on it, add
ing that if he should at any time find
it impossible to pay cash they would
suspect something was wrong with
him. Sykes was ii»,;>j^.ed wfth tho j
idea ana"ceased paying bo promptly.
After that there were occasional ac
cumulations of cash on hand.
Ono day Sykes was In the back of
the store figuring over his cash ac
count His clerk was at the front
dusting the shelves. It was at an
hour when few persons came to the
place to make purchases, and no one
besides the two were In the store. A
man came In, snld something to tho
clerk, and the two walked back to
where Sykes was at work. He recog
nized In the man the person who had
recommended his clerk.
"Mornin', Mr. Sykes," he said. "How
are you pleased with the young wom
an I sent you?"
"Very much," Sykes replied.
"He doesn't believe that women's
sen-Ices are worth ns much as a
man's," said the clerk. "I have been
with him long enough for a raise, but
I don't get It"
Sykes looked uncomfortable. There
was something Icy Cold In the tone lu
which she said this.
"Don't you find her trustworthy?"
asked the man.
"Perfectly," said Sykes, wondering
what this was leading to.
"He has never trusted mo with tho
safe combination." said tho woman.
"Hasu't he? Well, I reckon he'd bet
ter pay you some back salary." With
that he whipped a revolver from his
nip and covered Sykes. There was a
weapon in the desk on which Sykes
was figuring, but he dare not attempt
to get It out
"Who are you and what do you want
here?'' he asked the man.
"I'm Andy Simmons, and that lady
Is uiy wife. I don't think you've treat
ed her fair in not giving her a raise
since she's been here, and I've called
in to see about it. Supposin* you open
the safe?"
The game that had been played on
Sykes flashed upon him at once, no
opened the safe whilo the man kept
him covered, and. after the woman had
gathered some $1,200 that was in it,
they bound and gagged Sykes, walked
out of the store leisurely, mounted
horses standing at the door and gal
loped away.
Photographing Bullets.
Moving pictures have unlimited pos
sibilities apparently for the study of
rapidly moving objects. An apparatus
capable of making pictures at the rate
of 100,000 a sccond has been made.
With it seventy-two pictures of a re
volver bullet were taken while the bul
let moved ten Inches. Tlctures of a
bullet passing through a stick of wood
showed a curious condition. The bul
let passed completely through the thin
stick and was well on its way before
the wood gave any signs of distress;
then some tiny splinters started out,
following the bullet, the stick began to
split, and after the bullet had proceed
ed some distance the stick suddenly
fell to pieces.—Chicago Herald.
A Startling Hat.
A lady's hat which would no doubt
create as great a sensation today as it
did at the time of its first appearance
in 1352 was that worn by Blanche de
Bourbon, queen of Castile, wife of Pe
ter the Cruol. It cost £35 and was
made In Farts. The hat Itself was
composed of de chypre and relieved
with great pearls, garnets and enamel
work. Children, carved in the whitest
of Ivory, were depicted picking ncorns
of pearls from the oak and scattering
them to the swine below. Birds were
singing In the trees, and at the foot
were bees stealing honey from the
flowers springing up from the verdure.
—London Mali.
DARING BELLE BOYD.
Brilliant and Romantlo Caroer of tha
Famous War Spy.
Stonewall Jackson's valley campaign
was one of the great deeds of history.
Not since Napoleon's time have men
been so dazzled as they were by that
great exploit of his. Yet Stonewall
might have gone down the valley In
defeat had It not been for a little col
lege girl named Belle Boyd.
Tho Union general, Shields, was
quartered at Miss Boyd's house; He
held a council of war there. Miss
Boyd bored a hole in the floor of her
chamber, which was over Shields'
room, and lay there with her ear to
It throughout the night The next
morning Stonewall Jackson was In full
possession of the plans for a great bat
tle and was able to defeat the Union
army.
She kept up her valiant work for
the Confederates until the Union offi
cers began to suspect her, and Jack
son ordered her to move from her
Shenandoah home to Winchester. She
had been arrested by the federals and
had flirted her way to liberty, for she
was a pretty girl despite tho libelous
photographs of her. In Winchester
Jackson conferred upon her a commis
sion as captain in tho Confederate
army. By this tlmo tho whole north
had become aware of the services she
was rendering the Confederacy, and
every officer and private was on the
alert to get her. Yet she escaped until
1801, when she was caught on a block
ade runner. Her captor lost his heart
to her, deserted the navy and married
her, and tho Prince of Wales, after
ward Edward VII., attended the wed
ding.—New York Times.
Encouragement.
Ho was very bashful, but she liked
him and was willing to encourago him,
and ahe saw her opportunity when he
said:
"That's a beautiful dog you have
there. Miss Ethel. Is he affectionate?"
"Is he?" she answered archly. "Ilere,
Bruno! Here, good dog! Come and
show Charlie Smith how to kiss me."—
Exchange.
Not as She Thought.
Fond Mother-—Our Johnny Is a great
favorite with his teacher. Sympathetic
Friend—Is that so? Fond Mother—
Yes, Indeed. Why, only the other day
sho told Johnny if there were another
boy like him In the class she would
feel entitled to demand an Increase in
salary.—Richmond Times-Dispatch.

"This isn't my suit," said Hawkins
to the pawnbroker. "This is a half

"You are mistaken," replied the
pawnbroker. "This is your suit, but it

, shrunk."
A Dark Hour Friend.
Jlmson—Oh, yes; I knew old Simson.
Ho was a good sort. He did a very
kind action once for me when the
clouds were dark and threatening and
the world looked so black. Fimson—
What did he do? Jlmson—He lent me
an umbrella.—Boston Globct
