A WOMAN OF PLUCK. '
tUEN curly in the
spring of 1891, the
famo of Crecde, of
the Holy Moses
mine, and of the
riches to ho found
in tho mountains
round about was
spreading over the
Stato of Colorado
and attracting some
attention from prospectors
and speculators, tho story came
to n quiet little widow, Mrs. Keid Miller,
living in tho town of Bedell. She was a
native of Vienna, but had been in America
for thirteen years, of which time live
months had been passed in New York
City, and the rest in I'uoblo, Alamosa,
snd other towns of the Silver State. Mrs.
Miller had during much of this time sup
ported herself and her child, now a boy
of six, chielly by cookiug and housework.
She had heard over and over
again the marvellous stories of quickly
acquired wealth in the mining camps of
the mountain region, and bad been waiting
for some time to henr ot another
it l ike that she might herself try her luck
along with the rest who always rush to >
rvcrv new town wllnrn Iimmrlimilio, f." I
J .... ml
speculation olfcr. The story of the Holy t
Moses cnniu to liur as did tho signal to i
tho Oklahoma boomers. She was ready
to Mart instantly, regardless of lior own e
poverty or tho future of the camp. With a
sufficient bedding and camp kit for her- t
self iinil boy, and no moru, she got on 1
the sled of a freighter with whom she p
was aeipiainted who was bound up tho v
valley with goods to the new Eldorado. h
She was obliged to run in debt for her e
transportation, but no prospector ever h
took a grub stake with n lighter heart or t
more eonlidenco of success than Mrs. i
Miller hi accepting this loan. i
The outfit with Mrs. Miller reached j
Crecde on April 1st, 181)1. Creedo at o
that time consisted of a few houses
crowded into the deep an l narrow gulch I
between Campbell and Mammoth Moon t
tains. Theic was no street in the town i
?simply a trail let ween the houses, wide t
enough for a freight team to pass t
thmu;h. The gulch was full of snow and \
ice; one could tell that a stream was 1
theie only by hearing the roar of the 1
water beneath a deep covering of mixed I
snow and ice. I
Mrs. Miller looked over the camp just |
once?it took her about half an hour t
only to decide that she did not waut to f
remain there. It was too crowded. If
the camp was to grow it could grew in
but one direction?down stream. A few i
hundred viiiilsbi'lnw tlionmli i>f cln>n>!mi I
the gulch suddenly expanded into a u
widening valley that would atlord ample I
building .spice (or a town. There were $
indeed, two liouseH daivti there already. I
(.onirics Horn, a prospector, had huilt a
little log cahiu there for headquarters, j
and holt us & Hastings had opened a M
saloon. Mrs. Miller determined to go '
down there and see svhat aho could do. *
Luckily for her she met about this '
time a carpenter named Mahoney, whom I
she had known when living in Bedell. r
Mahoney asked her what she was going *
to do, and she said she was going to 1
open a restaurant down below io sonic 1
way. Straightway Mahoney offered to '
build her a house for the business.
"But I have no money," she said. v
"That's all right. Pay mo when you H
get it." Thereupon it was agreed that a v
log house, 26x40 feet, should be erected I
among the willows, not far from Pros- ^
pector Born's esbln^for the sum of .tl 10, '
to he paid whenever Mrs. Miller should '
it it. 1
Mahoney began work the next day J
I A pi il 2), and built the house as promptly I f
and substantially as he would have done I
tin I the cash awaited tho last stroke of | 1
mi mois. i rue, n was not mucii ot ti ?
-muse. There was no floor, for instance, t
-Mid the door had no panels. Hut it was t
good mining camp house, and Mrs. n
Miller was greatly pleased with it. It had I
!-liven three weeks to complete it. One i
hardly knows whether to laugh or to
shed tears when hearing Mrs. Miller tell 1
how she l>egan to run a restaurant in
that cabin. j
"My stove was very old and broken. .
I'or a table I had an old door, obtained ?
tip town. It was nailed on a short log 1
l wood set on end in the middle of the 1
loom. For chairs I had empty bo?es
boxes and two or three blocks cut from
log. I hail three plates, a tin cup for I
<-'dlee, and enough knives aad forks to (
; > with the plates. I had one kettljpand j
frying pan, and thut's all Hut the 1
ire's did not care. They said: 'Just |
.ve us what you have and it is all right.' | ,
l'hey were very kind to me." ,
Tier provisions, including bread, purchased
on credit, had to he brought Irom ,
Del Norte, forty miles away, down the (
valley, at a cost of two cents a pound for
freight. But she sold from seventy to ,
? ? t *
' f- J i* ' *
A
one hundred meals a day for a good ma
weeks at flfty cent* a meal, and the I
gan to get ahead a little. The groci
l >11 In were met promptly, and Mr. M
Money got the $110 for hia work sooc
than he had aotleipeted.
Then a turn came In the tide. T
prospector* ?t.? h-'i 2u?mm iu uu i
story of tie Holy Hoees floated aw
again. The much-talked-of railroad d
not appear. It waa told that the ro?
vould not be built at all. Tlaea wi

iu cheery Mrs. Miller newer abed
teiir.
"It waa berrv time, thoaa daja," a
pniri : *'raspberrlea, hlack berries. I
not know how many. I took my b

wny I expected to. llofore the i>erri
were nil gone tliey hegan to build tl
railroad, and then enmu a rush such i
you never saw."
Meantime, however, iMrs. Miller ha

avenue, including tho corner of Kin
street. There was no town there?notl
ing but willows and creek bottom; tl
land had not then been surveyed out f<
a town, but Mrs. Miller guessed from ti
lay of the laud that that would be
good parcel of laud to tie to. The foe
logs on each lot were laid together as fc
Foundations for log houses, nod in a
ruining camps such foundations are r<
ipected as "improvements" sufficient, t
jive title. Like improvements wor
nude in the two lots adjoining lit
cstuurant. Later in (July), having
iltlc money to spare, she had each c
lie Creede avenue foundations raised si
ogs higher at a cost of ijtfili 50.
Tliey laughed nt thai little Dutc
woman," as they called me, for doinj
hat, but I kuew what I was about," sh
inys now.
Then came the fall rush, and Mr?
Miller, having no money, promised t

lis tinished. Then she rented her rei
iiurant building to I). It. H nitb, win

N<> sooner did Mrs. Miller tear awa

r This fair ii a tpeoi?t of iar*iral of the j
h Middle Age*. It is annually held ou the 1
b gieat Place do Trone, and the peasantry 1
comes from dozens of miles around to at- 1
,1 tend it. 1
Q Imagine a country cattle show inulti- 1
i. plied hy ahout tiro hundred, aud you 1
e have some idea of tbo "Gingerbread
y Pair." Long lines of booths filled with
ie every coucoiv.ible kind of rustic show,
i with acrobats. jugglers, tire-oaten,
a tumblers, circus riders and historical
actors, display their gaudy signs and

II fashionable Parisians pay one visit at
least before it cloeea. '
1 Not many people are admitted to see
4 the curious spectacle which I saw in a
D booth at th6 back of the fair yesterday.
It was a colony of professional beggars,
' of the peculiar variety known as the
^ wooden bowl men. 1'Sawed-offs" would
1 be tlie American vernacular for tbein.
Aud tbo name certainly strikes one as
? appropriate, when ho sees the curious,
' whimsically de.ormed creatures hopping
about under his very feet, looking up in
r his face,and In a whining voice demand"
ing nlms.
' These beggais have either lost their
' lower limbs entirely,or they arc withered
>r paralyzed, so that each man, and wo9
man, too. present the singular spectacle
of the half of a body seated in a largo
w wooden bowl, to which it is strapped.
The cripple then propels himself or heri

, over llio pavement*. It is almo3t im1
possible to refuse charity to one of these
3 humble creatures when you find him
) blocking tho way at the entrance of a
^ booth.
} I found so many of these personages
?t the tair that I was astonished. I con- *
,, eluded that they must know each other,
, ?nd have some general place of rendex- e
, rous. So I looked them up.
Q I found, as I suspected, that there was ,
f t great gathering of these cripples to
9 "work" the fair. They wero under tho
3 lure of one man, who gave them regular
I weekly wages, and very good ones, too.
u tnd who was coining a fortune out of 1
what they brought in. About forty of
them in a good day's work, would turn '
t in nearly a thousaud francs ($200), which
illowod inore profit apparently than any ,

the man who had charge of tho "sawed- ^
ills." and who, "for a consideration,"
i and introduced me to some of tho more ,
r renowned of the beggars.
\ "The iuvesiineut is heavier than you (
?upp??sc," this uran said, "for before a

1 nai ket he represents quite a largo sum '
