Such is the synopsis of a little drama

poet and the blow nearly killed poor
Mary.
L%ochinvar then becomes i'll and said

Mary sells a piece of property. buys
a new gown. mot a quiet gown of
widowhood. but a pretty red gown
telegraphs the middle man to get
her a room, and away she hikes" for
the Meadow City to see her Lochinvar
for the first time, n to plead with
him to come to her heart, her soul. her
money, and fly away to the tropical isl
ands of the sea, where they can bask
under the shade of the |cocoanut trees
and dream away life. slipping only its
honey and reveling in joys known only
to such literateurs. Mary arrived in
Las Vegas, and she took a room on
Sixth street.
Lochie knew nothing OF the arrival
and on sitting down at the table at
Duvall's restaurant, the middle man
trots out Mary and she descends. He
sees her face for the first time and, in
spite of it, tries to look pleasant. The
conversation began where the letters
ended, and Lochinvar became wary,
for Mary is tired OF widowhood and
living alone in a cruel, unsympathetic
world.
The next chapter is the second and
last. Mary catches her victim near his
lair and begins her sympathetic story.
Lochie interrupts and tells her you
can V be anything to me; our lives
were not cast in the sYme mould, and

Mary then tells him of their psychic
connections: that their lives were
meant to flow in the same channel;
that it was not his true self that now
refused her, but only an evil spirit, and
that on his deathbed he would come to
her in spirit and accept her.
Lochinvar stalked away and Mary
mournfully went to her room, and 1t is
hoped, realized how many kinds OF a
fool she had made of herself.
Lochinvar refused to see her more,
and after a few days of hope, yester-
day evening she departed, Respondent

home, and so endeth this tragedy OF
unrequited love.
