BETWEEN
GENTLEMEN
By M. Quad.

They were in the same social set, be-
longed to the same clubs and had long
been friends-Payson Graham and
Olives Stafford They We're gentle
men bred and born. and this story
would not have been written if one Of
them had not forgotten his standing.
At the age of 80 Graham fell in love
and married fair looking but shallow
pated girl 1t is fair to him to say
that he had far more money than she
had and that he was In no sense actr-
ated by mercenary motives. The girl
was giddy, vain and superficial, but as
Graham was only a dawdler and
dandy it was such a match as might
have been expected on either side.
With his money and family influence
and native talents Graham might have
become a man of note and influence,
but he chose to remain a dawdler, a
dandy and a gentleman. First, last
and all the time he was a gentleman.
At the age of 33 Gives Stafford also
fell in love, but unfortunately for So
cial conventionalities and his reputa-

THE DUEL WAS FOUGHT ACCORDING TO
THE CODE.
ton as a gentleman it was with Pay
son Graham's wife. He was also a
dawdler, a dandy and a gentleman.
This affair was his only lapse, and he
lived to regret it. When he found him
self In love with his friends wife and
realized that the wife reciprocated, he
acted the part Of a gentleman. Where
his lapse occurred was in falling in
love. All that followed was according
to the ethics of gentility. He naturally
suggested an elopement. His sense of
honor suggested that it was his duty to
remove the wife as far as possible from
her husband. The gossip over an elope-
ment is always unpleasant but 1t does
not sting like the gossip over the dis
covery of a liaison under the guise Of
friendship. 1t was agreed all around
that Stafford acted like a gentleman in
bearing the unfaithful wife away on
his yacht. Some gentlemen pursue an
clipping wife, and some sit calmly down
and seek to forget her. 1t is for him
to choose, and he loses no prestige.
uCSluCu " dHu IL WAS
recorded in the books of society that
he was quite within his province as a
gentleman. He was also a yacht own
er, and when he discovered which way
his late friend had headed he took up
his watery trail.
Luck, accident and Providence were
all on the side of the pursuer. Stafford
had headed for the Mediterranean
meaning to make trip of couple Of
years. 1t is a good bit of a voyage
from London to Gibraltar, and it had
not been completed by half when the
yacht with the clippers on board was
overhauled. No gentleman who elopes
with another mans wife must seek to
skulk away when fairly overhauled,
and as Stafford was a gentleman he
calmly waited for events to take their

EDWARDS HELD
BY the Court to Await the Action

Thursday Mack Edwards, the
alleged forger, was given n prelim,
mary hearing before county judge
Rochester. The accused was de-
Tended by Mr.. John Feland, OF
Hopkinsville. and Messrs. Allie
Moore and Ollie James assisted
county attorney Kevil in the pro-
secution. Edwards pleaded not
guilty. He says il is case of mis-.
taken identity. Says he has not
been in Marion for sixteen years,
and never saw Mrs. Cameron until
he was arrested. He claims that
he was in Greensboro on the NOR.
ming of Aug. 9th. the day the
check was endorsed by Mrs Cam
eron, and that he went from Ow-
ensboro to jacksonville in the af-
ternoon. Two witnesses for the
defense swore that the accused was
in Greensboro, and Judge Clifton
j. Pratt stated that Edwards was
in his oHice in jacksonville on the
afternoon of Aug. 9th, while Mrs
Cameron is positive that he is the
man for whom she endorsed the
fraudulent check; Cashier Yandell
states he is the man to whom he
paid the money on the check, and
other witnesses stated that they
saw and conversed with the same
man in this city on Aug. 9th. Mr..
Dunn, a hotel man of Guthrie,
was introduced by the prosecution
and he stated that Edwards, the
accused, was in Guthrie on Aug.
18th and that he endorsed a check
for him on +. X. Webster Il Co,
of Cincinnati, which proved to be
fraudulent. Edwards denies the
charge and swore that he never
saw Dunn before. After hearing
the evidence the county judge
bound him over TO await the ac-
tion of the grand jury, fixing the
bond at $500. Judge Givens, of
jacksonville, went on the bond
and the prisoner was released.
