CITIZENS COAL COMPANY 153 Main Street. Poth Phones 49. Oh God, the horror of it all ! It was my own wagon which I had left two days before. I knew then that 1 had been walking in a circle. I never can forget the first terrible moments of my disappoint ment. Hope died, and I threw myself down in the shade of the can vas and gave up to despair. ft My home had been in Colorado, where I had followed the call ing of a mining engineer, being a graduate of the Colorado School of Mines. It was when I was in the employ of the Big Canyon Mining Company that I first met Nellie. She was the daughter of the millionaire president of the corporation, and I only a poor young engineer, who had used all my means working myself through col lege. The Big Canyon had offered me a job as resident engineer at the mine at what I thought was a good salary, and I had accepted it. I was contented, and looked forward to carving out a career for myself. And then Nellie came with her father on one of his trips of inspection, and changed it all. The first moment I looked at her I was done for. I knew that no matter what might come I could never love another. She was curious about the mine, as this was her first trip, and was interested in everything she saw. It fell to me to show her through the mine and the mills. Her dependence upon me during these excursions, and the thrill which passed through me whenever I took her hand to help her over some rough or dangerous place comes to me now. Yet she was the daughter of a millionaire, and I only a poor, struggling engineer. I lost my head and seemed to go about as a man in a dream. If I had been upon equal footing with her at all I would have declared myself at once. But as it was I held my peace, and determined that no matter what the cost of toil or dantrer, I would win the wealth which would give me the right to woo her. But how it was to be accomplished I did not know. It was not long after this that the country was set on fire by the reports of great gold discoveries in Nevada. Here was my chance. I resigned my position and started west. I outfitted at Salt Lake and struck off over the desert. For months I went here and there without success, but at last when my store of cash was nearly gone I struck it. It was a great ledge, and there was gold at the grass roots. Alone I started to work my claims, for help I could not afford, until at last I sacked up a few sacks of the richest ore and started for Salt Lake. How I missed my way I do not know, but the spring I expected to find, and upon the finding of which so much depended, I failed to locate. My water gave out and here I was lying beside my wagon stranded in the desert, waiting in the most awful anguish for death to come. How long I remained in a semi-conscious state I do not know. It might have been hours, it might have been days, when the "chug" ''chug" of an automobile came to my ears. I listened to it in a sort of dazed manner, even thinking it was the blood surging through my head. Then I was aroused by a voice just above me. "Why here is a man," it said ; "poor fellow, he is dead." "No, no," said a voice which thrilled me even in my delirium. "He is not dead. See he moves." It was Nellie's voice. Was it a dream, or was it a glorious reality? Then her voice came again: "It is Mr. Bowland, the engineer who was at the Big Canyon mine. Great mercy, what can we do?" There were those in the party who knew the desert, and had seen I men dying of thirst before. They washed my swollen tongue, and forced a few drops down my throat, then lifting me mto the machine, went off over the desert at breakneck speed. That night they camped by a spring, and I was saved. Nellie and her companions were taking an automobile trip to Los Angeles. Seeing a wagon off to their right and noting that it did not move, they just reached me in time. ' I take the trip often now, for the La Tinto mine is one of the big gold producers of the country. But I never go over the desert in anything but a high-power auto. People say that I am an auto mobile crank, and I suppose they are right. It is to the chug machine that I owe my life. I have many of them, and all of them are as the apple of my eye. Oh yes, you want to know about Nellie? Why, she is sitting be side me as I write. She "Do you think it helps a play to have a moral?" He "Not half as much as an immoral." Philadelphia Inquirer. John D. Rockefeller, in an interview, said : "I am a hardy son of toil."
