"Oh, no. The giants liku Titian and

This momentary restraint was aeeenl.-d ry ,

new conselousnesn and then, making a |
peep hole In tho curtain, looked over the
opposite roofs. She had seen them many
times before, but now they had acquired a
new plctttr . picness, which, as her view
was of course the reverse o' tho poor
pilnter's sketch, must have been a trans
figured memory of lev own. Then she
gl i ccd curiously along the line, of win

with their <><• •.islonal revelatl ins of the

to her, hut now glio began to wonder
which w.s his. \ ■'i ■ ular Interest at last
Impelled her to lift her eyes. Higher in
the corner house and so near tho roof
that it Bcarcoly see ned possible for a

I CALIFORNIA’S MEANEST MAN,
Worth $2,000,000, Yet Begrudges Bia
Wife a Quarter.
From Th* New York Sun.
A little drled-up man, with deep-set black
eyes, long white hair and shabby clo'hea,
may be seer sitting about tin, h >tel offices,
barb: r ahops, saloons and other public
places where there are free chairs and
newspapers In the city of Bakersfield, In
the San Joaquin valley, any day. Ho has
not been out of town In twenty years,
and tt Is not likely he ever will go.
lln Is r>an!el P. V.'at'ers, and he Is worth i
between s2.t:tU,flflO and 00. He came to '
California In tho gold excitement In the ,
early fifties, and made a fortune of s2.'.oiA
H.< spent money freely and went b n k to j
New York on .1 visit. In two years hn re- 1
turned to California with all hl., money i
gO>M.
This time ho found It wns no longer pos
sible for a man to pick up a fortune In the
gold diggings. He became a lawyer, and
had a bare subsistence for a deeade. That
v.as w hen ha became n money s iv. r. and
learned exactly how many cents there are
Iti a dollar. When he was t!irlty-tiv,< years
old he discovered qiil ’ksllver d. p< -its hi
Santa Clara county. That brought him s v- '
eral hundred thousand dollars. He Invested j
In lands In the San Joaquin valley and In- I
< ■ ■ 1 . .1 his wealth ten times ov, r in the | <
course of twenty years.
Be has a wife and three children and ' 1
many grandchildren. His sons and hl, ; ’
daughter w orked as laborers after th. y I
