Mrs. Fleming and the family, except

ago. They made the trip through the
various eastern cities without mishap.
Then Mr.. Fleming did the gallant
thing and made flying trip east two
weeks ago to see that they got safely
home.
The return was made without Incl
dent until the Northern Pacific depot
was reached in this city. Then Mrs.
Flemng's pocket was picked. She
lost fine gold watch and chain and
her money. Mr.. Fleming wasn't aware
that anything had happened until his
wife discovered her loss outside the
depot.
That wasn't the worst. In his haste
to get away Mr.. Fleming forgot to turn
off the water in their home on Cannon
hill. During the cold Of last week the
pipes froze and burst. When the doors
