CHAPTER I.
Valerius Galbraith stood by one of
the open windows in the drawing room
of an old-fashioned red brick house in
Hexton road, St. John's Wood, sur
rounded In its own grounds and rcened
from t'.ie thoroughfare by a high, bulging
ivy-topped wall.
Rather above the middle size and
slight in figure, well made and grace
ful in his movements, lie was a man
whose presence gave the impression of
elegance and distinction. His fair and
rather llorid complexion, wavy auburn
hair, broad forehead, prominent blue
eyes, bis chin, and long, liglit mustache
gave him claims to be considered decid
edly handsome. 1 bough close upon
forty years he Scarcely looked thirty, so
free was hi< f.ice from lines or wrinkles,
so perceptible the desire for pleasure his
face betrayed, so bright his outlook upon
life.
The graver cares and deeper sorrows
of existence, if ever known to him, bad
left 110 trace behind. His freshness of
spirit and mental youthfulncss were con
tagious.
Independent if not wealthy, lord of
0 kiNdi without ties or responsibilities,
he had traveled through every country
of Europe, obtaining the experiences,
realizing the pleasures which foreign
scenes afforded.
And now on the eve of a journey
to the hast— the land of color, luxury
and romance, which had ever possessed
a fascination fur his impressionable tem
perament—he hnrl come to say farewell
to the friend and companion of his boy
hood, to her whom lie had loved, whom
now lie loved, who with her daughter
were his sole relatives.
As he gazed absently across the gar
den with its great plots and its flower
beds crowded with early chrysanthe
mums, he thought of his past—that idle,
profitless, pleasant past, which might yet

♦• Sonil l»u a wor«l ami 1 w ill coiuo to you, whcruver I may
be changed, if but the light and guid
ance of the woman he loved were his.
But that he dared not hope, would ever
be, no matter how he longed.
And suddenly through h's day dream
came the sound of the soft rustle of a
dress, and he turned quickly to meet his
hostess as she entered with a smiling
face and outstretched hands.
"Will you forgive me?" .she said, and
her gentle voice seemed to soothe the
troubled current of his mind.
"Certainly; I know 1 am unfasliion
ably punctual," he replied.
"I hope you don't say that in re
proach," remarked Olive Dumbarton
archly. "One doesn't stand on ceremony
with relatives. The fact is, I have been
so busy correcting proofsheets that 1 had
no idea it was so late until Veronica came
to call me."
"Proofs of your new novel, I suppose? '
he said.
"Yes. I have almost finished them.
"I congratulate you."
"Ah, if you only knew how tiresome
and stupid the book seems! I tremble
when I think what the critics will say."
"You have no cause to fear. But you
are overwrought, for, as _ usual, 1 dare
say you have been working too hard."
"That's what Dr. Quavc, my friend
and neighbor, says, but then my work
is the one thing in the world which
gives me pleasure, and,'" she added sadly,
"with the exception of Veronica, the only
object for which I live."
Her daughter, a girl of seventeen, en
tered the room.
"You grow bigger every time I see
you," said Valerius, when by an effort
he had recovered himself and had shaken
hands with the girl.
"And more like mother?" she queried. |
"Yes," he answered, rather from a de- j
sire to please her than from a sense of
conviction. "The fact is, Olive, he
added, "you will have to present her as
your sister, for no one will believe she
is your daughter."
"1 prefer being her daughter, re
marked Veronica, laughingly.
Then, a servant appearing at the door,
Mrs. Dumbarton said:
"Take me into dinner, Valerius"
"And I will bring up the rear," added
Veronica, merrily.
Fhc dining-room WAS lighted by clus
tcrs of '.Mild!' s 111 sconce of silver, and
by ■' single central lamp whose vermilion
shade flung a ro,y radiance on the table.

"'I lie same publisher?"
"Yes; George Bostock."
"Vou trust him?"
"Implicitly. Whj do you ask?" she
queried wonderingly.
I can scarcely .-eiv. One hears so
much about publishers nowadays. Js
there lint a society especially organized
for keeping then in order? Of course,
there are publishers and publishers, as

"But 1 do,' she replied warmly. "He
is a gentli • n, a man of honor, and "
I am vry glad, Galbraith replied,
fearful th tic hid displeased her. "I
merely ill uhi oi him in . nnection with
your inl-.'resi . you know."'

"Thai' -factory. You have made
a big hit fp'in tlic first, For my part,
I don't know which J like best—your
short stories or your long novel*— but, at
all events, 1 feel <|uite proud of my dis
tinguished cousin."
When I sec mother's photographs in
the shop window's, and hrr books on the
railway stalls, I feel that all the world
must know us,' remarked Veronica, with
an air of sati: 112 iction.
"And yet 1 probably never should liavr
written if nece iiy had not compelled
me," the authoress said, gravely.
"What a lucky necessity!" Galbraith
answered.
A sudden silence f'-ll upon the table
Mrs Dun lar'on lxiwed. her heail. Va
leritis, conscious that he had made an
inappropriate remark, became confused
while Veronica looked from one to th
other inquiringly.
"My sole reason for referring lo til
necessity for work," the authoress rc
marked, "war to point a moral, which is
".Ve never know what we can do unti
we try.' Now. apply that moral to your
self, Valerius."
"It's too late."
"How do you know?" Olive Dumbar
ton persisted, her low, gentle voice ful
of earnestness. "You have talent, thougl
in what direction it lies I can't say. Yoi
have seen the world. You have ric!
stores of experience. There are your ma
teriais—begin to use them; make a carcei
for yourself."
"At my age?"
"Now is the time when your gifts ari
ripe. Do something which will advanci
yourself; or, better still, which will helj
your fellowmen. That way lies happi
11 ess."
"i \.as born lazy."
"No; but yoa were spoilt by having
from the first more money than yov
needed."
"You are wrong. It was not thai
which spoiled me," he answered, a mean
ing which she could not mistake under
lying his words.
And once more a silence fell upon tht
table, while Galbraith emptied his glass
and a faint color crept into Olive Dum
barton's face.
Presently she arose, saying:
"Would you not rather smoke youi
cigarette with us in the drawing-room
than sit here alone?"
"Very much," he responded quietly
and he arose likewise.
There was something of regret and
self-reproach in his voice which she un
derstood and appreciated. The low
roofed, yellow-walled drawing room was
half in shadow as they entered, and both
felt glad of the repose it lent. A glow
of firelight flickered on (he painted tiles
of the hearth beside which they seated
themselves, Mrs. Dumbarton with an air
of languor.
, Iler figure was rather tall and some
what thin, but without angularity, and
with a grace of movement that was a
I charm in itself. Ifer face, more long

blue eyes, thoughtful almost to gravity,
intelligent, inquiring, trustful, and so
clear that one seemed to look through
litem into a soul troubled by many
doubts and stirred In many longings—
truthful, aspiring, honest and pure, dread
ing no scrutiny, harboring n<> evil, desir
ing btu good, i lie thirl; masses of hair
brushed from her wide forehead were
lightly streaked with gray above the
temples.
iUrs. Dumbarton declined the coffee
when served.
"1 dare not drink it after four o'clock
or I should be stretched upon a rack,"
she explained.
"Of thought?" he suggested, raising
his eyes to hers.
"Yes, I sleep badly."
"I felt sure you were unwell. You
have worked too hard."
"1 am always like this when I have
come to the end of a book; writing is
such a strain upon the nerves."
"1 have seldom seen you look so ill,"
he remarked gravely.
"l'or the past week 1 have been ter
ribly depressed without apparent cause.
I lie very silence of the house weighed
upon The atmosphere loomed full
of tragedies; it seemed as if something
dreadful might happen at any moment or
every hour."
"Overwrought nerves. I wish you
were coming with me to F.gypt. Think of
it. 111 put oil mv journey to suit your
convenience: it will do you all the good
in the world. Come."
"Impossible. Next month Veronica
and I may run over to Paris, of which
I am so fond."
Change," he urged earnestly.
"How delightful. We should see the
pyr; mids and camels and the desert," said
Veronica, her face brightening.
" There are many reasons why I can
not leave home at present," replied the
authoress. "Perhaps next year "
"Better come now," interrupted Valer
ius. "Who knows what may happen be
tween this and next year?"
"Who knows?" she repeated, absently.
"Do coinq."
"I cannot. And now, Veronica, your
hour has struck/' said Mrs. Dumbarton,
looking at the clock.
The girl rose without a murmur.
"Good-night, mother, dear," she said.
"Good-night, my darling, and may God
bless you."
"It will be good-night and good-by to
me," said Galbraith, as. bending down, he
kissed the girl's forehead.
"lo think," said Mrs. Dumbarton, as
the door closed upon her daughter, "that
she is just seventeen, the age at which
1 was married. It was wrong to sanc
tion such a marriage; what was I but
a child who d:d not know mv own
mind ?"
"Rut nothing would dissuade you from
marrying him. Surely you cannot forget
how I tried—how your mother "
"Yes, I know," she replied, with a
movement of impatience, "and how I
have suffered for my obstinacy. The
punishment, seems out of proportion to
the fault At times I grow rebellious
at my fate."
"Where is he now?"
rtamk.,. 1 bJ „ , a ffp. but he hasi
terdav." ""
"Regging?"
"Demanding."
"And you?" Valerius said, anxiously.
"I made no reply."
"Olive," said Galbraith, in a low, ear
nest voice, "it is not yet too late. Take
the advice of your friend, of your only
relative. Divorce this scoundrel who has
ruined your life."
A half-stifled sob, more piteous than a i
cry, was her only response.
"He has squandered your fortune in
vice," continued Valerius, excitedly. "He
has well-nigh starved you and your child;
he has heaped insult and injury upon
j you, and then deserted you—divorce
him 1"
"No," she answered, in a voice strained
from her struggle with emotion "You
know my ideas on the subject are old
fashioned. lie is the father of my child,
and if only for her sake I could not
make his infamy public. 1 dare not state
what I have suffered. I shrink from j
holding up my wrongs to the view of
a curious, morbid and mocking public.''
"The matter would be forgotten in a
month."
"I, whom it most concerned, could
never forget. Resides, T see no advan
tage to be gained. T have bought his
consent to a legal separation, so that he
cannot harm me any more."
"Is there no other reason for you to
desire a divorce?" Galbraith asked in a
still graver voice that trembled in antici
pation of her reply.
"None," she answered, without hesi
tation.
Valerius quivered as if he had received
a blow; and then, after a scc6nd's sil
ence, he half reluctantly rose to take
his leave. She stood up likewise, and
for a second he looked into her eyes,
freighted with pain patiently borne. Then
with an air of despondency he turned
from her.
"You will let me hear from you now
and then?" she said, understanding his
feelings and wishing to soothe him in
the hour of their parting.
"Of course. I will write regularly.
And if ever you need me, Olive, send
but a word and I will come to you,
wherever I may be. Remember."
"Thank you, thank you. Valerius," she
replied warmly as she held out her hand.
"Good-by, and a pleasant journey.
Good-by."
"Good-by," he answered, in a voice
full of regret, and then, acting on a sud
den impulse, he cried out: "Olive, I love
you now as ever, if only—— u
"Stop, stop," she said hurriedly, as she
drew back.
"I cannot leave you without telling you
this. Can nothing change you?"
"Nothing," she replied, striving to
calm herself. "Let us part in peace as
old friends, good comrades and cousins."
11 r words, manner and example en
abled him to control himself.
"Forgive me. Good-by. Good-by once
more," he said sadly, as he left the
room.
She heard hi- footsteps go down the
gravel*path; and the garden door closer
behind him. Then she sat down witV
a weary air and gazed into the fire mus
ingly. The world seemed to her mor<
lonely than before.

tons capacity. Such a plant would produce a
daily profit of over $20,000, a yearly profit
of over $7,600,000!
This will give you dividends on your stock
of 1500 per cent on your investment.
Think of it!—ISO times your money back
in each year! Does this startle you? Our
neighbor, Senator Clark, is clearing over $20,-
000,000 each year, working 40 acres, 24 miles
away, right on the same range.
Dividend paying Copper mining stock sells
on the market at about ten times the amount
it pays in yearly dividends, This stock, there- I
fore, on the above estimate, which you can
get to-day at ONLY 5 CENTS A SHARE,
shou'd sell on the market at about $7.50 a
share —at 150 times what you can buy it for
to-day.

Does not talk but draws $20,000,000
a year in dividends from one Copper
mine, the United Verde.
any other section of the world. The ancien
Spaniards and the Indiana were known tc
mine the metal, while there is evidence tha
prehistoric races knew how to utilize Copper
and in their crude way mined and smelted it.
To-day this territory is dotted here and there
with working mines which produce millions
upon millions of dollars worth of Copper, and
in many places prospecting has revealed many
more veins which are still undeveloped. At
some points the ore crops out at the roots of
the grass, widening out as it goes downward.
The mountains and valleys of this district
are underlaid with such wealth of copper
ore as exists nowhere else in the world.

All the large Copper mines that we have
quoted had to expend from one to four
million dollars in smelting plants. There
are THREE large independent smelters
within hauling distance of our property,
obviating all necessity on our part of this
tremendous outlay of money. Therefore,
all we need to do' is to concentrate our
ore, an inexpensive process, haul the con
centrates to the smelter, and there re
ceive our money. This puts us practically
in the same position that these other large
Copper mines attained only after the ex
penditure of millions.

WHY WE SELL STOCK
Wc have a great property, but we need
money to develop it If a farmer owned a
quarter section of land and had only a spade
to cultivate it with, it would take years of
toil for him to get money enough to buy
proper machinery to work it to advantage. So
it is with a mine. If we went to a capiat!.-:t
he would demand the lion's share; but we
believe that the American people will be ghd
to come in with us and help us to make
this property the greatest Copper mine on
the continent. So we goto YOU, relying on
your judgment and sound common sense, and
ask YOU to join with us, man toman, share
and share alike, in this great enterprise.
YVith YOUR aid, we should make a second
United Verde of this property. With unity
there is hardly any limit to what can be ac
complished. The day will come when you
will be proud to be a stockholder in the Con
solidated Copper Creek Mining Company.
