one head ui' hair the real color of gold.
v.- * Miss Winchester's. She wore
it :is louse ::s :iny hair can be dressed,
liuler i. it resembled a bniloon in its
shape.
Having fallen in love with the young
lady's hair. 1 proceeded to fall in love
with the j:irl I terse! I We boarded in
the same bouse; eoi:se»juenlly I saw
hor often, l'.nt she kept very much j
to herself. :n:.l uoue of us became fa
nsil'ar wiili Ii r. Sometime* she would
sit Willi me after dinner for 11 short J
whi'e. but i»i.e of the ether boarders
was so Ii 'iiored At such times, cs

she -^:ii i ih:.1 w -is tied it very often.
There was a -real ileal of dust floating
alioat. anl it u't into her hair. This
was the cause of the frequent wash
lugs.
After sivia^ her a number of Invita
tions I tii 1 .• suceeedrd in Inducing
iii.-s Winchester to so lo tile tiieater
with me. When at the raising of tile
curtain sue took off iier hat and dis
played her wealth of hair many per
soiis turned th -ir eves upon It admir
ingly. it seemed to me that not only
Its line was lioldeu. but that in one
or two places it had a golden sparkle.
I asked her if she ever used a gold
povvd: r She looked lit me in a star
tied way and said:
••No. What makes you think so?"
•• then- is a place in your hair

Eol'.l pii . .'..-r 011 i'
S!ie |..ll her hind up and asked me
where was the spot I referred to and
was not satisiied till i directed her
to it
Miss Wiu. hester held a position of
but she told none of 11s
.vi: it it was. She went out
about S o'clock in the morning ana re
turned at 4. On her return she wept
Into ber room and locked the door. I
understood that she wished to rest till
dinner. I could not understand why,
If she needed rest, she took the trouble
to wash her hair so often. Women
usually make a great ado about wash
ing their hair, and wbeti they do are
usually to be seen sitting about with
it banging loose. Miss Winchester
would wash her hair between 4 and 5
o'clock and come down to dinner with
it done up at half past C. 1 once asked
her how she dried It so rapidly and she
said by fanning It. This added to my
wonder that she should take so much
trouble after a day's work.
1 asked the young lady on several
occasions torsive me a lock of her beau
tiful hair, but she always declined.
One evening when we were sitting to
gether a lock came loose. My business
requires nie to carry a small pair of
scissors iti my vest pocket, and I sur
reptitiously cut off the strand without
her being aware of what I had done.
When I went to my room I held the
strand near the gas Jet to examine It.
On It 1 noticed a particle of a substance
that reflected the light. Among my
knickknucks 1 kept a magnifying glass
-not a scientific lustrument, but such
as could be carried in the pocket 1
brought it to bear on the particle and
saw that it was either stone or metal
1 judged that it was metal, since one
of its minute faces reflected the light.
Moreover, moving the light about on
the lock I detected other particles,
though most of them were much small
er than the tirst.
1 don't know what prompted me to
do so—idle curiosity, I suppose—but 1
put the lock In a glass of water and
stirred it to separate the particles.
The.v settled to the bottom of the glass.
1 poured most of the water off, and the
rest of it. including the particles, 1
poured on to a sheet of white paper.
This 1 held over the gas Jet till the
.rater had evaporated and the particles
stood out on the white paper infl
nitel.v small bits of yellow sand or
metal. Fishing a little horseshoe mag
net out from amoug my other trinkets,
I picked one of the particles Tip with
it I thru knew that it was metal.
I said nothing to any one about the
matter ludeed, 1 thought very little
of it till one afternoon, being in a
building. 1 saw Miss Winchester com
ing out of an office on the door of
which, wider the firm name, was the
word "Assayers." Assayers may be

SCENE FROM "AS THE WIND BLOWS."
Ta woman Is forced by circuro
_ .stances ami the weakness of a rel
ative to marry her employer
against her wishes, although she is In
love with auother, is this action on her
| part and this self sacrifice worthy of
{ happiness, or should she receive her
juwt deserts for acting contrary to her
conscience? An answer to this trou
blesome question is given in the film
play, "As the Wind Blows." The play
ends happily, which Is uot always the
way in real life.
Bessie Eyton has an excellent role
In "San Francisco A'ell," a drama soon
to be released. The name gives an
idea as to its character.
A sort of a play within a play In
which an actress is mistaken for a lu
natic Is the story told by "A Myste
rious Mystery.'"
Wheeler Okman Is soon to be eeei
in another cowboy film to be calle<
"The Lonesome Trail."
The announcement that ^"Kit, tb(
Arkansaw Traveler," has been fllme<
Is sure to take the thoughts of thi
older generation back to the time the;
saw the late l<\ S. Chanfrau portra;
the title role in that drama. So grea
was the popularity of this drama that
like Joseph Jefferson, who, having onci
appeared in the role of Rip Van Winkle
could never lay it aside for another
Chanfrau discovered that the theater
going public demanded to cee him onl,
in the role of Kit.

suspicion at once came to me tnat tne
particles I bad found in Miss Winches
ter's hair'were golden. I had preserv
ed them and made a further examina
tion to find that my surmise was right
I ceased my attentions, to Miss Win
chester, but I dreaded to have it dis
covered that she was carrying away
gold dust that did uot belong to her
in her hair and, asked for a private in
terview with her. told her what I had
Been and how it had revealed what she
iiad stolen.
She was dreadfully cut up: begged
me to keep her secret, and I agreed to
do so on her solemn promise to abstain
in future.
1 never met Miss Winchester again.
Somehow after that when 1 came ]
near a girl with golden locks I could
not avoid looking to see if there 'were
scintillations of gold dust
OUR FEARS.
It is not whal a thing is, bul
what we think it is, that frightens
us. A man walks within an inch
of death without knowing it and
therefore without trembling, and then
his hair stands on end at some
empty, harmless noise.
Cause For Thanks.
Lord Cliief Justice Clerk Bras field
was a mau of few words and of strong
business habits, and consequently,
when he courted Lis second wife he
said to her: "Lizzie, I'm looking out
for a wife, and I thought you just the
person to suit me Let me have your
answer on or off tomorrow, and nae
mair aboot it" The lady next day re
plied in the affirmative. Shortly after
the marriage Lord Braxfield's butler
came to bin) to give up his situation
because he could not bear her lady
ship's continual scolding. "Man," Brax
fleid exclaimed, "yc've little to coin
plain of: ye may be thankfu' ye're no
married to her." ^
Run Down.
Tom—Of course the bride looks love
ly, as brides always do. Nell—Yes, but
the bridegroom doesn't look altogeth
er fit; seems rather run down. Tom
Run down? Oh, yes, caught after a
