DAUGHTER
SWlNDLED Her
Mrs. Sarah Fisher Brings Suit to
Recover Property Lost by
Alleged Fraud.

ter when she believed herself to be
dying. is the allegation made by Sa-
rah e. Fisher of Minneapolis against
her daughter, Marie Fisher Of Sioux
City, in an action brought IN district
court at the latter place yesterday.
Mrs. Fisher alleges that on the even
ing of Oct. "a, 1902, when she was very
i'll, her daughter told her she would
not live till morning, and advised her
to make her will. The mother con-
sented and when an instrument was
put before her purporting to be the
will she signed it.
Now the paper turns out to be a
warranty deed to a $1,000 lot, and the
mother, who has recovered her health
has sued to quiet title.

SHAKING THE scAREcRoW.

If the opposition to any further re- duction of the rates on Philippine to- bacco and cigars is not thoroughly united and does not push solely on that point, leaving any meddlfng with side issues alone, then free-trade in Philippine tobacco and cigars will come as surely as did the Cuban reci- procity treaty. And Congressman Henry, the Mephistophelia adviser of the New England Tobacco Grow ers' association, although represent ing a Connecticut leaf growing dis trict in the house, will be the last person who would dare to vote against 1t, if he is not bound hand and foot beforehand, not to do it. That's the reason why he conjured up the specter of the uniform rate in order to crawl under It's cover into the free tobacco Philippine camp.
 The disaster in the trail of free Philippine tobacco would strike heav- fer the New England tobacco grower than almost everybody else. True, the domestic packing trade would be ruined if Philippine tobacco engaged now in packing domestic leaf could be transferred without any loss to @ther pursuits, If the young men in the trade should not prefer to turn into importers of Philippine instead of packers of domestic leaf. True, also, that our domestic cigar industry would become paralyzed and suffer enormous losses.-United States To- bacco Journal.

 ''Ah, bah! What of gratitude? You wanted me or would you aaavv seen me die in the gutter"
 Kowlaski began to whimper. "You will ruin me, my dear. It cannot be done"
 Tt must be. want it to be done"
 In the face of this obstinacy Row laski gave in. But first of all he tried threats, and Lola threatened to throw a chair at him. He finally agreed that she should have her week, and Lola walked out of the office without thank ing him. That was the last he saw of her for seven days.
 He made the most of her absence, declaring that she had been called away to nurse a dying mother and would reappear with broken heart to keep her engagements with the public. Bawdsey saw this notice.
 It was the first he had heard of Lola's escapade, and he went at once to her rooms in Bloomsbury to ask where she was going. Lola had al ready gone and, according to the land lady, had left no information as to her whereabouts. Bawdsey was disappointed. He saw that Lola had taken every precaution to hide her trail and that there was not much chance of finding her. How. ever, he went to see Kowlaski. The manager began to talk of the dying mother. and Bawdsey shHt him up. Rubbish! That's for Nhe public. want to know where she is."
 My dear, do not know" said Kowlaski, and for the first time in his wicked old life he told the truth.
 Not to be beaten, Bawdsey sought ou* George Brendon. But George was as ignu1ant as the manager and the landlady. T haven't the slightest idea," he said when Bawdsey asked "and, to tell you the truth, don't set | why you should try to find out. don't soc what right you have to con trol her movements"

Bawdsey IS trying to serve two mas ters. It IS impossible that my grand father can know the truth. Yet, going by his height and figure and that sable claret colored coat, he was certainly in the house on the night in question:
 On arriving at St. Giles square he saw carriage at the door of the Der rington mansion. On asking for Lord Darlington, George was informed that his lordship was engaged with Mrs. Ward and could see no one Brendon turned away, wondering that he had mot recognized the carriage, and he was still more vexed with himself when Dorothy put her head out of the brougham and called to him.
 My dearest" he said softly, so that the coachman and footman might not hear, "this is an unexpected pleasure. Why are you not insideg'
 My mother wished to see Lord Der rington alone" replied Dorothy T am waiting till she comes out. She has been with him for half an hour. I don't know what they are talking about"
 It was at this moment that mes sage was brought out of the house from Mrs. Ward saying that her daughter could drive home, as she would not be disengaged for another hour Dorothy looked puzzled. 41 can't understand" she said There is something wrong with my mother. Lord Darlington came to see her one day, and she has been upset ever since"
 George shook his head. He suspect ed Mrs, Ward of knowing more than she chose to confess, and based his suspicious on the fact of the yellow holly which she had given Dorothy to present to him. Meanwhile he kept these suspicious to himself and made some excuse. "Oh, Mrs. Ward and my grandfather are probably talking over my iniquities," he said easily. But ] don't see why l should not take ad. vantage of this chance"
 What do you mean, Georger' asked Dorothy, with becoming blush. "Well, here is the brougham, and here you are. Why shouldn't we drive around the park before you SC homer
 My mother will be angry" said Dor othy, hesitating. Then she blushed again. "But shall brave her anger We have much to talk about, as wish to speak of Lola velez." Dorothy, surely you do not think
