I’ll tell you, said the lady. I met Frank in California in 1881. My father was working on his claim. Frank and I fell in love and we wanted to marry. Then father found gold. It was a very rich claim. Frank had a claim too, but there was no gold in it. Father grew richer as Frank grew poorer. I wanted to marry him, but my father refused to let me. He took me to San Francicso. Frank followed me there and we saw each other in secret. Frank decided to look for gold again. When he was rich, he planned to return. Before he left, we married secretly.
