LUCKY BALDWIN'S DAUGHTER.

The Millionaire's Partner Predict* a Reconciliation Within Ninety Days. Stern Papa Baldwin stormed and swore when ids pretty little daughter Anita ran away and married her cousin George. He proposed to shut her out of his heart and his fortune at one and the same fell stroke, and all that sort of thing, but Anita has always been the apple of the old man's eye, and his partner, tleorgc Christie, predicts that she will be as firmly in his good graces as she ever was, and

that George will be given charge of the Hotel Baldwin jvithin the next three months. Christie is a typical Californian of the bluff, hale and hearty type and lias long been a lieutenant of the man with the lucky hand. He nearly always accompanies him in his Eastern tripes and is well known to Chicago reporters. Anita and her sister, a Mrs. Harold, are the only two immediate heirs of their father’s vast fortune. To them in ordinary course would descend the old man’s many millions. The friend knew that in Baldwin’s will, as it stands now, Anita was to receive the Santa Anita ranch of 65,000 acres, worth over $3,000,000, and other property as well. The millionaire brought George Baldwin out four years ago from near Crawfordsville, Ind., and put him behind his hotel desk. Until that time h’e had never had any experience in any clerical place. He had been brought up on a farm, and was quite uncultivated and unused to the ways of the world. He was always a polite, quiet young man, however, and he soon shed his ill-fitting clothes and, properly and neatly attired at the hands of the fashionable tailor, he made quite a handsome appearance, for he is naturally good-looking. “Miss Anita,” said a friend of the family, “is of a romantic turn. That’s why she married on a tug. I think she thought all this publication in the newspapers of the elopement, with her and George’s pictures, would make a heroine of her, and that sh« rather enjoys it.”
