"Dear Father and Sisters. Don't worry about the money. I have decided to quit college and go to work. I start for home at once. Yours lovingly, Bob." Soon Bob arrives, and the next day he starts out to seek employment. At the Bar B ranch, he is given a trial position as manager, and at once writes his father: "Dear Father and Sister, Have secured a position as manager of the Bar B ranch. Tell Mr. Morgan that I will pay the interest on the note. Lovingly, Bob." A short time later, Bob receives the following letter: "Mr. Bob Bronson, Dear Sir: Will call as per your request to collect interest on your father's note. This must be paid to-day. Yours truly, M.H. Morgan." Mr. Morgan arrived, and Bob paid the interest which he had gotten in advance from his employer, Frank King. In taking the note from his wallet, Pete, the half-breed, had seen that it contained a large sum of money, so when Mr. Morgan hung his coat up in the office, after having put the wallet in it, Pete crept cautiously to the window and searching inside, secured what he thought was the coat with the wallet. It proved to be without the wallet, however, for Mr. Morgan had just taken the wallet from his pocket to put the extra money in which Bob had given him. Bob then hung his coat on the same nail that Mr. Morgan's had, and that gentleman placed his wallet in the young man's coat, which was presently put on try Bob and missed by the other until Bob had reached home. In the meanwhile Pete had discovered that he had the wrong coat, and thrown it away, only taking from the pocket a fancy handkerchief. Bob, riding home, had picked up the coat and taken it with him. At home, being unable to explain how he came by the wallet, his father believed that he had stolen the money, as did his new employer and Mr. Morgan, who had followed in hot pursuit, until the latter saw the handkerchief which the half-breed had taken and forced a confession from him, greatly to the relief of all concerned.
