of heroine for a sensational DRAMA
and this semi-Spanish young woman,
with her Southern beauty, strong will,
and unguided impulses, presented to
him at once character out Of which he
saw the capability of making great
things.
She met her old school-fellow with
effusion, and Ruthven with pleasant
disappointment, to find him so young
and so goodlooking.
my dear, l wonder you've not fallen
head over heels in love with him a
dozen times already" she whispered in
Margaret's ear on the first opportunity;
81 should, / can tell you. He doesn't
look like a guardian in the least de-
gree. He's much more like handsome
elder brother"
And when Margaret, to whom such an
idea seemed like sacrilege, looked
shocked, Carmen laughed aloud and
declared she believed she had detected
Pearl in love affair already, and that
she had only forestalled the confidence
she was about to bestow Oh her. And
she would have gone on with the joke
if the sudden tears that rose to her
friends eyes had not checked her.
Sir Frederic displayed slight return
of the emotion which had affected him
at the first sight of Margaret on meet
ing her again; but it was not sufficient
to be observable, and he welcomed
Ruthven with peculiar warmth to Alb
louisville. He conducted him personal
ly through the whole of the fine old
house, and was delighted with the evil
dent value his collection of paintings
and other specimens of art held Tor
Ruthven. The girls accompanied the
gentlemen on this tour of inspection,
which extended even to Sir Frederic's
private apartments.
There is the picture | used to tell
YOU about" said Carmen to Margaret

tomorrow Only don't repeat what l
said to Mr.. Ruthven till uncle mas
preached the subject to him..
The girls were not to occupy the same
room together this time, Margaret be-
ing placed on the opposite side of the
corridor. AS soon as Carmen had lett
her alone, she burst into flood OF
tears. 1t was hard to learn that Ham
ilton had so soon forgotten her and all
the promises he had made; still harder
to find that he had deserted her for
her bosom friend. Yet how glad she felt
in the midst Of her tears to remember
that she had not conf1ded her own bit
ter disappointment to Carmen; secret
which she now resolved should be for
ever locked in her breast. No one
knew it but Mr.. Ruthven and herself,
and she could trust Mr.. Ruthven. AS
the remembrance of his goodness and
gentleness to her came into Margaret
mind, a warm feeling Of gratitude
stole over her. Even at that moment OF
wounded pride, she would rather be
with Ruthven and without Hamilton
than vice versa; and, drying her tears,
she retired to rest, content in the be-
lief that her guardian was fond OF her,
and would let her remain his compan.

Uncle is writing to Mr.. Ruthven
himself on the subject; but you must do
all you can to pursuade him to come, :
wrote Carmen, 'for it is the peach and
mulberry season, and we girls will have
such lot of fun while the guardians
amuse each other. Uncle is most anx-
ious to know Mr.. Ruthven, OF whom he
has heard so much, and l am dying to
see you l have such story to tell
you of The Mysterious One There
was an awful row just before we left.
Uncle caught him sitting with me IN
a balcony, after every one had gone to
bed, and wanted to give him in custody
for burglar. However, they explained
matters and made it up again, and l
believe The Mysterious One has been
invited to Abbotsville, but | am not
sure J don't know how it will all end,
and | don't care. BY which, | suppose,
you will Judge that my heart is not very
dreadfully affected Well, my dear, I've
not made up mind on that subject yet,
so can scarcely be expected to inform
you. But he's very good looking, as
1 know you will allow when you see
his photograph.
Shall we go or not?" asked Ruth
ven with a smile, as he handed Sir
Frederic's letter to Margaret.
"Will you come, too"' she exclaimed,
eagerly.
"If it is agreeable to yourself.

place you have told me so much about.

Margaret, delightedly. Il shall enjoy

Abbotsville besides the hope of num-
bering you amongst my friends.
Indeed, Sir Frederick
and not an unnatural one, as !
think you will acknowledge. When l
was abroad with my neice last month,
we met at Rouen your nephew, Mr..
Hamilton Shore"
you did? What did you think of
him?'
Not very well, begging your par

told me his name and address, adding
he was nephew to Mr.. Ruthven."
II hope you kicked him WE'LL"
Sir Frederic smiled deprecatingly.
Kicking is not much in my line, Mr..
Ruthven, but [ examined the young
fellow, and finding him to be likely

filtration rather far with him, I in
vited him to Abbotsville, always sub

''You would not object, then, to his
marrying Miss Flower"
'sNot if he is steady and honorable.
My niece will have a considerable for
tune She inherits not only the united
portions of her father and myself, but
also the house and grounds of Abbots-
Vile Her husband, therefore, will
have no need to work for her, and she
is so uncertain, poor girl, in her ca
prices and actions, that | should be
thankful to see her married before any
thing happens to myself
.And so you want to have my opin-
| ion of my nephew, Hamilton Shore?"
"Just so. Is he young man likely
to make the girl good husband, and
the estate a steady master?'
1t was on the tip of Ruthven's tongue
to tell Sir Frederic the whole story of
Hamilton Shores treatment of Margar-
ct but he refrained. A man may use
one girl i'll and another we'll; it would
| be no proof Of his nephew's want of af-
lection for Miss Flower, and might in
jure Margaret's future prospects. No;
| if the lad was really unworthy, let them
| find it out for themselves, as he had
done, and no better opportunity could
be afforded them than that which
brought the young traitor into contact
with the girl he had deserted and the
girl he had sworn devotion to at one
and the same time. So he resolved to
further the plan of Master Hamilton S
visit to Abbotsvilie as much as lay in
his power, and leave the result to it's
natural conclusion.
When he answered Sir Frederic's
question, it was to this effect:
.|To decide what sort of husband
boy OF nineteen will make is difficult
matter; but Hamilton Shore has long
head when he chooses to make use of it,
and a keen eye to the main chance. I
| do not think from what I know of him

The C. P. Coleman Case.

Ore of the most interesting, i'm.
portant and warmly contested cases
ever tried in Bates county was tried
in the Probate court the latter part
Of last week, beginning upon Thurs
day and ending Saturday night just
before midnight.
G. p. Coleman, for many years a
citizen of the vicinity of Johnstown,
was the subject of all this legeal
contest. 1t appears that for several
years past, Mr. Coleman, who Is a
man of advanced years, has been
boarding around among his different
relatives. in this state and in Texas,
spending the summer here and the
winters in Texas. The old gentle
man owns 260 acres of fine land in
Bates, near Johnstown, and in addi.
tion has some considerable personal
property, aggregating in all some
ten thousand dollars In April 1896,
he returned from Texas, and took
up his residence with his nephew, S.
L. Coleman, where he remained until
Nov. 4th, when, after voting for
Bryan, the old man moved to the
home of Lafayette Coleman, another
nephew, who lives just across the
line in Henry county.
The old gentleman took a fancy
to little son of Lafayette Coleman,
and concluded that he wanted to
adopt the child as his heir. and in
this matter had attorney ". ".
Graves of this city to draw the deed
of adoption, and on March 18th he
executed the deed and placed it on
record. Immediately afterward
Judge John NJ Coleman, who is also
a nephew, in behalf of a number OF
the Bates county relatives, filed an
information with Judge Dalton,
Judge of Probate Court, charging
that G. P. Coleman was of unsound
mind and incapable of attending to
his own business affairs The rela-
tives above mentioned retained T.
J. Smith snd Jno. S. Francisco
as counsel, and Graves & Clark. of
this city and G. G. Dickinso on of Gin
ton, were retained by G. P. Cole
man.
Counsel for Coleman objected to
the jurisdiction of the Probate Court
of Bates County, and claimed, that
the case should be tried, if at all, in
the Probate Court of Henry County.
This objection was everruled by
Judge Dalton, and counsel for G. p.
Coleman made an effort to get q
writ of prohibition against Judge
Dalton, both in Bates Circuit Court,
and in Kansas City Court of Appeals.
but failing in this, they were finally
driven to trial before Judge Dalton
and a jury upon last Thursday.
There was . vast array of witnesses
upon each side, some seventy in all,
and every inch of the ground was
ably contested by the COUNSEL of the
respective sides. Judge Dalton held
court both night and day, and the
evidence was finally concluded about
ak o'clock Saturday evening. After
supper the case was argued by
Hsssrs. Francisco and Smith upon
the one side, and Messrs. Dickinson
and Graves upon the other. The
jury after being out some twenty
minutes returned q finding to the
effect that c.. p. Coleman ia of sound
mind and capable of managing his
business affairs.
