'Why, the idea. He hasn't asked
me.'
Would you marry him if he were to
ask you?'
"Do you think" she asked, in reply,
"that man in the situation that he is
in now, would marry me?"
The esteem in which Miss Smith
still holds DR.. Lowry, despite her
charges against him, is very evident.
She is most attentive when he is the
subject of conversation and listens to
remarks about him with the keenest
interest. A lump came into Miss
Smith throat and more than q suspi-
cion Of moisture into her eye, when
she was told of DR.. Lowry's reference
to the portraits of his father and moth
er. She studied the pattern in the
Coates house carpet moment, and
then said in q low, quiet tone:
HE knows me we'll enough to know
that wouldn't think of taking those
pictures. No. 1 shall take nothing in
his office.''
Miss Smith was asked whether, now
that everything was reversed and she
had DR.. Lowry at her mercy, she did
not feel just a little sorry for him.
II mustn't tell you," she said. you
want me to discover to you the very
inmost workings of my soul"
Again it was suggested that it light
not be improbable that DR.. Lowry g
old love would return to him and he
would propose to marry her and she
laughed until the color rushed into her
face and two rows of beautiful teeth
glistened in her mouth.
A friend of Miss Smith asked her
while the trial was in progress what
her plans for the future we're. She
said:
After this matter is settled, don't
care whether | live or die"

DR.. Lowry, who confessed judgment,
is q handsome and successful den

elegant offices in the New

About the time he broke the engage

considerable attention to Miss Sadye
Anderson, the beautiful daughter OF
W. j. Anderson, of 1908 Campbell
street, financial broker. Three
months ago he and Miss Anderson were
engaged to be married. While the
trial was in progress and when he saw
there was little hope of success for him
self, DR.. Lowry went TO Miss Ander-
sons home and asked her to marry
him at once and show the community
and the jury that she, at least, had
confidence in him. She is said to have
consented and he went for the license.
While he was at the court house OBJ
tanning it, friends of Mr.. Anderson,
who was away from home, heard of the
intended marriage and stepped in and
prevented it. 1t is reported that Miss

STORY OF PERFIDY.
If little girl In short dresses, bare
ly II years old, had not answered an
advertisement for domestic help, at
the home of DR.. Lowry ten years ago,
the Smith-Lowry breach of promise
suit would never have happened. Ii
Mrs. Lowry had not noticed that the
girl was nice looking, we'll hammered
and genteel, she would never have
taken her address that she furnished
to her husband several months later
an address that brought to his office,
as an assistant, the girl that was to be-
come his sweetheart; enter with him,
after the wife's death, into long
period of intimacy: cause her fiance to
break her engagement with him; ana.
finally, take all of his property from
him and mar his reputation.
If Mrs. Lowry had paid no attention
to the pretty girl and had not stopped
to take her address, all this would
never have been. Instead of verdict
of vindicstion and few thousand dol
be the wife of q good man and the mis-
tress of a happy home.
Within a year after Miss Smith en-
tered DR.. Lowry's Office, his wife died
and he began to pay little attentions to
his pretty young assistant. AS she
told on the witness stand, he began by
strokine her hair, taking her by the
hand, kissing her and telling her that
he loved her He didn't stop there,
and for seven years he and Miss Smith
were practically man and wife, with
only promise of marriage be-
tween them. This promise DR..
Lowry never fulfilled. Finally
Miss Smith left him, in
desperation. Then, at his renewed
promises, she re-entered his employ,
travelling and selling his dental inven-
tions. Her love letters, readlin court
showed how madly she Loved him and
how she struggled to help him to make
money and save it. His letters to her,
also read to the jury, showed that he
had promised to marry her. When he

DIR. LowRY's STORY.

The Office of DR.. Lowry, on the sixth
floor of the New York Life building,
was locked all afternoon. Patients
came and tried the door and rang the
bell, but after waiting in vain for q
response turned and went away. DR..
Lowry shut himself into his room at
the Brunswick hotel and would see no
ono. Earlier in the day he said that
his purpose in confessing judgment
was to save Miss Sadye Anderson, the
young woman to whom he was engag-
ed, any further notoriety. When ask
ed whether the judgment would take
su he had, DIR. Lowry said:
eyes, everything. All my property,
If sold at forced sale. would bring not
more than S., 900, on a careful es-
innate 1 wish 1 could satisfy the
Judgment. AS it Is, shall pay just as
much as l CAM
DR.. Lowry was asked whether he
thought Miss Smith would have the
heart to take everything he had, and
answered.:
81 hope she will leave me .some
things. Those pictures OF my father
and mother, for instance" and he
pointed to portraits on the wall OF his
Office.
For the first time since the trial be-
gan, Dr. Lowry showed emotion. His
remarkable nerve almost deserted him
at the reference of the pictures and
tears glistened in his eyes.
HERE'S ANOTHER SCENE.
While DR.. Lowry was shut in his
room alone with the humiliating
thoughts of his defeat, Miss Martha
Smith sat in the dining room OF the
Coates house, a short block away, al
most within mailing distance. and list
eued to the dreamy music of the Or
chestra in the corridor, as she ate.
She wore modest dress OF dark blue
and sat straight and severely prtm at
the table. There was nothing exulting
in her expression, and nothing to be-
tray that ANYTHING unusual had nap
nened to her. When she met a reporter
for the Journal in the reception room
a few minutes later and was asked as to
a report that she and DR.. Lowry were
to be married, now that she had con-
