Mrs. Florence Fenton has eloped with
her husband
The varying mind of a woman is
proven by the eIopement. Mrs. Fen
ton had commenced an action for di-
vorce from her husband. James II. Fen
ton, and the causes of action to which
she swore We're good ones. She said
he had kicked her. struck and slapped
her at their home on Evelyn street
Holman's addition. North Topeka. He
threatened to kill her, and Mrs. Fen
ton swore to the court that she was in
great fear of his carrying out his
threat. He was restrained by order
of the court from going near her.
So they lived apart without once see
ing each other. But the truth was they
loved each other all the time
But where there is a VIII there is a
way Fenton could not go to his wife
and WOO her again because he was la
BILE to be chucked into jail for contempt
of court. She did not know that the
old love stil smouldered i'm his breast,
so she could not give her expression
by dismissing the suit
So Fenton hit upon a happy scheme
He went to Missouri. there settled down
and wrote his Wife an afectlonate let
ter telling that he loved her as much
as ever. Mrs. Fenton thought she
knew just how much that was, 50 Mrs
Fenton left by the next train to join
her husband Their meeting was a hap
py one. tears of JOY being succeeded by
VOWS of love
So it happened that when MIS-. Fen

morning in the district court Judge
John It. Morton arose and SAID,

tiff in this case has eloped with the
defendant
Dismissed, said Judge Hazen.and
he smiled as he thought of the muta-
