WICKERSHAM AND PHRONY Keith returned home and soon found himself a much bigger man in New Leeds than when he went away.

The mine opened on the Rawson property began to give from the first large promises of success.
Keith picked up a newspaper one day a little later.

His wife, it was stated, was in Europe and had been cabled the sad intelligence.
