Show i SOUTH CACHE COURIER. HYRUM. UTAH Solving An Enigma By George Elmer Cobb (Copyright, by W. O. Chapman.) I must say the boy is a disappointment to me, spoke Mr. Jarvis Prothero frankly. In the law way maybe, nodded chirpy, effervescent John Wilson, who himself was a very good attorney, indeed. Outside of that, he is the most brisk and accommodating young man I ever met. He wins all hearts. best-hearte- d, Oh, If he would only win a legal llploma !" groaned Mr. Prothero. He will never do that, and you are wasting your time trying to make him do it, clearly declared the attorney. office man, Waldron As an is a tremendous success, makes warm friends of our clients, attends promptly to the commissions we Intrust him to execute, but he cannot absorb the dry facts of the profession. If he were my boy, I would turn him loose like a wild colt, and let him follow his own bent. Which means he would either turn out to be a poor artist or a scribbler of poetry. No, no, let him keep on for another year. Then if he shows no closer adaptation for the law, let him win his living in some other way. liell have to, for my little means wont support both of us. For all his gloomy declarations the speakers face brightened magically as the subject of the discourse, his nephew, Waldron Prothero, bustled into the office. He brought an atmosphere of lively interest in life that stimulated. His free, open mind spoke all-arou- time, Just attend to that, will you?" and he extended a written sheet to Waldron. Its a letter from Itolfe, asking us to send a decorator to Hollywood to fit up a suite of rooms in one of the old wings of the mansion, to which Miss Marsh has taken a fancy. Better take the commission to Messrs. Biggs, our regular clients. .Very well, sir." ' It was one oclock when Waldron departed on his mission. It was four when he returned, Mr. Wilson had some legal papers to serve and had fussed and fumed for three hours at the inexplicable absence of his clerk. He greeted Waldron with a decidedly severe frown as nearly at closing time he put In an appearance. Then amazement mitigated his choler, for Waldron was a sight. Always immaculately neat, and a precision in matter of dress, his hair was awry, his face crusted with dirt, his hands grimed, his clothing bedaubed with flour paste. Sorry I was delayed, announced Waldron sprightly, but one of my schemes for fathoming the Hollywood mystery presented and I practiced." Practiced?" repeated Mr. Wilson vaguely. Exactly so, sir. You see Messrs. Biggs were going to send an expert down to decorate those rooms a mere question of papering. I got an inspiration. Why not represent the expert? Well, sir, Messrs. Biggs are willing. I start for Hollywood tomorrow as a poor, humble paper hanger. Zounds! are you mad? cried the amazed attorney. Think it over. Ethically, the 'firm has no right to spy upon Mr. Rolfe, but should we not protect our client?" Our client ! you audacious, presuming Paper hanger! chuckled Waldron. The lawyer had to laugh, too. A more d young man never entered the Marsh mansion than Waldron Prothero. The keeneyed Mr. Rolfe saw him about his work in the old wing and left him there with a free mind. Dobson, as he was announced, noticed nothing but his work. Apparently he was blind to even the radiant beauty of Miss Inez Marsh, which piqued the young lady in question, but highly pleased her watchful guardian. However, it was natural that Miss Marsh should visit the wing to direct the work. It was just as natural that she should become interested in the handsome, courteous, intelligent young man who unfolded new points to admire as the days went on. The last room is finished, Miss Marsh," announced Waldron one day and he cast a devouring, and then a lugubrious glance upon tyls pleasant GUARANTEED REMEDY FOR SAFETY DEVICE FOR WAGONS MUST BE DONE AS INDIVIDUALS AND NOT AS A HERD.

Theres a mission for you to attend You know to, spoke Mr. Wilson. Miss Marsh? Wish I did I brightly retorted Waldron laughingly. They say she has a million. I mean you are aware of the condition of the estate, proceeded the lawI have just received a letter yer. from her guardian, Itolfe. It seems that Miss Marsh chafes at the lonely life in the old mansion. It is unfortunate that her father made her the ward of that old humbug, who thinks he is strickly puritanical and is preposterously hypocritical and titpe serving. He is so afraid that his ward will marry, cutting him out. of two years more of the perquisites, that he shuts her out from all companionship except that of his dull, dreary own family. A bird in a gilded cage, eh? he remarked carelessly. About that, for he has to humor all the whims of Miss Marsh, or shell kick over the traces. You see the will absolutely prescribes that the estate will pass to charity if she leaves her present guardianship, unless she marries. That wont. happen with that sly old watch dog of a Rolfe on duty. I wish I knew 'from a credible source just how far her frequent complaints of being immured in a sort of castle of despair are warranted. Thats easy, observed Waldron in his sanguine way. Indeed?" quizzed Mr. Wilson skeptically. Oh, yes, rattled on his volatile asI might find out for you. Why, Ive a dozen schemes for investigating that phase of the situation.
