John Morton's wife was the popular
prima donna of a high-class light op
era theater. Her stage name was
well. 1t was and is well known. She
was the pet of the public. courted
battered and feted as few others OF
the theatrical armament ever have
been. Yet she was a miserable wom'
an.
Wealth. fame and admiration had
been SO freely lavished upon her that
she was in a position to enjoy to the
full that most cherished qualification
of her sex. the Jealous envy of all
other professional women.
She had youth, beauty and dia-
monds galore. Flowers were flung at
her nightly, and the daily newspapers
guage.
Thousands of her photographs
adorned the store windows and huge
reproductions of her sweet smiling
face made bright the bill posting sta
tions. In spite of this she was wretch
ed-so miserable that she had fully
determined to end her life.
Not a whisper of scandal had ever
assailed her stainless reputation. She
had married a man whom she truly
loved-a man of little or no ability,
coloriess creature. but, by her in
duence. she had procured him the po-
stion of stage manager in the COM
pany in which she was the star.
By her own efforts and talents she
had built up a luxurious home, which

less husbands affection, which rightly
belonged to her.
1t was not that she was swayed
by the vulgar passion called jealousy.
It was rather that her loyal heart was
wounded. Broken by the knowledge
that the man to whom she had been
true as steel deliberately sacrificed
her love for the Establishments of a
frivolous little chorus girl.

stituted that she never for a moment

however. She could brand her rival
with the authorship of the tragedy.
She resolved to die in the chorus girls
pretty apartments. Those rooms, the
constant haunt OF her husband, main
tained on the money the wronged wife
earned. The bahy-faced girl had tri-
amphed over her life. Hers should be
the triumph of death. By dying in her

shameless girl who had robbed her of

scandal as would blight her reputa.

possible a woman would sacrifice a

of man.
Perhaps 1t was strange that such
thing should be done for such a man

them. The collins are made according
to the plans and specifications of Mr..
Phelps from lumber cut under his di-
rectiOn from the timber on his own
farm
Some years ago Mr.. Phelps had some
of the large cherry and oak trees on
the place cut and sawed. The rough
lumber was stored away in the barn
where it was allowed to season till this
summer. when il was hauled TO the La

ed to Maiden where w. H. Sutton, the

The aged couple settled on their
farm soon after they were married in
1854 On that farm they shared the
ups and down of a pioneer life, the
sorrow, and joys, and now when the
shadows fall far to the west, these
casketS are ready-caskets from the
trees of the old mestead-caskets
from the trees on the dear old farm
that sheltered them during many of
the storms of life.
