course, to the novel.

How Tabor Took in Washington City.
Almost every one has read the ups and
downs Of Tabor's romance. The story is
fuller of adventures than one OF the old
yelIow-back novels. You know how. when
he became a muIti-millionaire, he was not
Quilted with new clothes alone. but wanted
a new wife as well. He divorced the good
old woman who had worked for him and
made his fortune and picked up a dashing
young widow, with cheeks like a peach
and with eyes which had a brighter sparkle
than any of his gold when il flowed from
the smelters. I will not tell the disgraceful
story of that divorce suit as it was brought
out in the courts of Colorado. I saw Tabor
after 1t was over. when he brought the
dashing young widow to Washington city
to be married. The wedding took place at
