respondent. Action based upon fraud
and deceit alleged to have been perpe-
trated by defendant in effecting an ex-
change of his property for that of plain
tiffs. Affirmed.
A party having gone to trial and tried
the cause upon the theory that there
was an issue raised in reference to a
certain matter cannot in the Appellate
Court, for the first time, raise the ques-
tion that there was no such issue to be
tried.
The rule, in such actions as this, is
that the court shall award the differ
ence between the net market values of
the properties, that is, the values over
the liens and membranes.
It was competent to prove by parol
testimony that the wife held the legal
title to the properties in question for
the joint use of herself and husband,
and that her husband was, in fact, an
equal owner with herself. Sherman &

Held, that the compensation of Road
Commissioners should be paid from the
salary fund. The Legislature, by Sec
ton 20 Of the County Government Act,
intended to provide for the payment Of
all county officers out of the salary
fund, and to include Supervisors as
county officers, whose compen sation
must first be determined by the board,
as we'll as those officers whose com
pensation is definitely fixed by the Act
itself. The Supervisor in acting as
Road Commissioner is none the less a
county officer and his duties as such
Commissioner are performed by virtue
of his office as Supervisor.
There is no authority for making the
compensation of the Road Commission

morning with his gun on his shoulder.
He was a keen sportsman and was
looking forward to polishing off a little
game, when his professional duties
were over. A friend meeting him and
seeing him with a gun exclaimed:
Where are you going, doctor, so early

LEGEND OF A PRAIRIE GRAVE.
Eeneath the Flowers Lie the Remains

Eeneath the Flowers Lie the Remains
If a 7"idier's Young Wife.
Near the top of the highest knoll on
the rolling prairie three miles south
west OF old Fort Hays, in Kansas, Is a
lonely grave In the prairie grass. There
Is board at the head and another at
the foot. These boards may once have
borne an epitaph, but now they are
Drowned and worn by the sun and
storms OF many years, and they are de-
cayed at the ground and stand at an
angle, almost ready to fall. A prairie
rabbit has made its burrow at the foot
of the grave. All around 1t the grass
Is full Of purple and yellow flowers.
Standing by the grave and looking
north and east there lies stretched out
landscape of wondrous beauty. The
green sod of the plains slope gradually
down from the grave a distance of
three miles to the cluster of long gray
and yellow empty buildings which were
the barracks and officers quarters of
Fort Hays when this was the far West
years before there was a railroad in
Kansas Beyond the fort is the town
of Hays City, q group of yellow stone
and red brick buildings. Beyond
stretches the prairie, north and east. to
the horizon line twenty and thirty miles
away. Diagonally across this stretch
OF level plain runs q thread of vivid
green from northwest to southeast, the
trees that fringe Big Greek. There are
no other trees anywhere else In the
landscape.
The legend Of the lonely grave is that
years ago, when the Fort HAYS bar
racks were full of troops, an army hos
pital steward brought his young wife
there to live with him. Each SUNDAY
the officer and his wife walked out TO
this hill and they used to sit down on
the shady side Of 1t near the summit
and gaze for hours out at the landscane
below. Then they could see the herds
Of buffalo roaming over the prairie. and
once In while band Of Indians scur.
rying across 1t.
one day the young wife was stricken
with deadly fever. Before she died
sne asked her husband to promise that
ne would bury her body near the ton of
the hill, at the very spot where thew
used to sit and look out over the won.
uerful landscape. He kept the promise
ana there Is her grave. The only flow.
ers he could get to plant upon It were
the wild flowers Of the prairies and
they are blooming there yet.

PHANTOMS.

Whence do they come? What may their
import be
The fitting, flashing phantoms OF the
mind
That half awake ard half in dream we
see;
That never can be captured or defined /?
They hint at something lost, something
desired,
Something whose ownership would
make us glad
Perhaps at thoughts with subtle meaning
fred.
Or truths unrecognized because unclad.
They may be glints of half-forgotteu
dreams.
They may be memories long buried
deep,
That from their ashes give out ftful
CLEANS
Before they sink to their long final
sleep.
Perhaps electric lines from other brain
Are tapped and flashed by crossing with
our own,
Perhaps some floating shreds or bits re-
main
OF former life that we somewhere have
known.
Perhaps they are the signals loved ones
send
Who wait our coming ON the other
shore;
Too spirit-full with earthly sense to
blend,
Too finely soft to fully pierce life's
roar.
Perhaps! Pcrhapsl Conjectures cannot
teach!
We clutch at shadows and we grasp the
air!
The mystery Is aye beyond our reach
AN ignis fatuus no art cancsnare.

die.
About three months after that fatal
day we took Margaret home. She was
much better; but my health had broken
down so during her illness that the doc
tors recommended a thorough change
for me: so three weeks after their de-
clslon I sailed for Europe.
l received letters regularly from Mar
garet ard in each one she spoke of her
improved health, and also mentioned
casually that she had seen Mr.. Faver-
sham that day, or the day before.
At last the news came. They were
engaged and were to be married very
soon. l was not to come home, for
they would join me to spend their
honeymoon, that Guy and my dear
sister may learn to know each other

terness full enough without this added
drop?
But it was written that I never was
to meet the man I loved as the hus-
band Of arother. Two days after they
sailed from New York the gallant ship
went down with all on board, my sis-
ter and her husband among them. My
sacrifice had been in vain, for now 1

The sentiment OF a familiar song Is
as fully expressed by the music as by
the words. In the singing Of the ma
tional anthem by a mixed crowd, for
example, it Is surprising how few Of
the singers know the words Of the
songs that they are singing, and how
well those who do not can get on with
out them. The most Of the people in
the crowd sing the words Of from two
to half a dozen lines, and then they
go on with "Ah, lum tum tum. lum
tum tum," for the rest Of the way, and
their fervor is in nowise abatcd by
the loss Of coherency in the lines. 1t
Illustrates that words are not the only
means Of expressing thoughts. The
details of the poets reasoning are Of
small consequence to the average sing
er. What he has in his mind Is patri.
otic enthusiasm, and, given a stirring
air, he can pour it out just as well
through incOherent syllables as through
logically arranged stanzas. When the
orchestra of theater plays Hail, Co.
lumbia," the whole audience appIauds
rapturously. But it Is safe to say that
not one person in twenty knows more
of the words Of that song than
Hail, Columbia, happy land!
Hail, ye heroes, Heaven-born band!
But does 1t follow that the rest of the
air. as played by the orchestra, is
meaningless to them? BY no means.
The sentiment of the first two lines
goes through the whole musical com.
position for them, and they express II
IN their wordless singing.
