Found a Long-Lost Deed

An unrecorded deed was found in
an obscure corner OF an old desk in
Lawrence, Kan, not long ago, which
insured to the University of Kansas a
valuable legacy, says the Kansas City
Star. After the death of the late Gov.
Charles Robinson 1t was found that he
had followed up a number of valuable
gifts made to the university during
his lifetime by bequeathing to the uni
versity his valuable farm a few miles
north OF Lawrence. His widow was
to have the farm during her life and
then It was to go to the state uni
versity.
A few months ago L. s. Steele, an
abstractor in Lawrence, was commits
stoned to make an abstract of the
farm. He found the title vested in
sister of Gov. Robinson by virtue of
deed more than twenty-five years
ago. The executors could not find any
deed or other instrument transferring
the property to Gov. Robinson. For
time II seemed as II the legacy
would be lost. The woman in whom
the title was vested had been dead
for several years. The widow of the

Roam Mare Told Secret

The wise old farmer and his good
wife were discussing the case of their
eldest son. The eldest son had been
absenting himself from the family
circle on Wednesday and Sunday
evenings with suspicious regularity
now these many weeks. Not only that,
but on those evenings he donned the
very finest of his clothes. Father re-
membered that in the counting eu-
quette of his youth Wednesday even
ing calls were considered by the girls
parents to mean business; also that
staying to Sunday night supper was
equivalent to publishing the bans.
Mother looked troubled. She con-
fessed she would like to know who
the girl was.
II do hope she knows something
about housekeeping and isn't a girl
who is always gadding about" she
said wistfully. with an anxiops look
on her usually placid brow.

father, with twinkle in his eye.

dead governor was sure that her hus-
band had held the title of the farm at
the time of his death. A thorough
search was made.
Finally II occurred to one Of the
executors to compile a list of all of
the agents Gov. Robinson had en-
ployed during his lifetime. All of
these agents that could be found we're
seen and each of them searched
everywhere for the deed. Finally one
OF them recalled an old desk that he
had sold to secondhand dealer
few years before. The desk was
traced to a farmhouse almost adjoin-
ing the Robinson farm. The desk was
searched, but the missing document
was not discovered The farmer who
owned the desk was not satisfied with
the search made by the lawyers who
had visited him for that purpose. He
took the desk apart and behind
broken panel found the missing deed.
The document was recorded the
next day and the widow of the late
Gov. Robinson is now sure Of her
home during her lifetime and the Uni
versity of Kansas is again secure In
its anticipation of valuable legacy.
