Did She Accept OF Reject Him?

Kansas City Star.
She was standing on Westport
corner waiting for a car when he
stopped TO chat with her. The Sub
ject OF engagements came up. "A
girl friend of mine once had an aw-
full experience" said she. Kate had
Young man, whom I'll call Tom, for
several years. Two or three times he
had asked her tc marry him, but 81 )
had withheld her answer. One day
he was appointed to a position i'll an
Eastern city. That night he called on
Kate and asked her again to marry
him.
4 need little time to think it
over she said.
"I I leave tomorrow said Tom.
We'll, tomorrow night I'll mail
you letter giving you my answer.
said Kate. Tom went away and The
next day left the city. Kate thought
I the matter over until late in the night
Then she decided upon plan. She
would write two letters to Tom, seal
them, address and stamp them. They
would look exactly alike. One would
accept his proposal and the other
would reject it. She would place
them in the pocket of her coat, go to
train and just as il started she would
throw one letter aboard the mail car
without trying to see which it was.
Kate carried out her plan. She went
to the union depot and just as an east
bound train started threw one letter
aboard. Then she rushed back into
the depot and opened the other letter
to see how fare had decided it for her.
With scream she dropped into seat
and almost fainted"
At this point the car stopped and
the girl stepped aboard. "Did she ac-
cept him." asked the man on the cor
ner as the car starred.
The girl replied, but her words were
drowned by the rumble Of the car.

DUNCAN DENIES
he IS 4 BANKRUPT
SAYS HE OWES MILLS BUT
THEY ALSO OWE HIM.
No Preferred Creditors-Though He
Did Deliver Certain Deeds to
Lands in Union County to
Various Parties.

The answer of ex-President Thom-
. as c. Duncan, OF the Union and But
falo cotton mills, in the bankruptcy
proceedings instituted against him re-
Gently, was filed in the United States
district court last week, in which the
deposed mill president, who was
charged with deciding his property to
his wife and others, denies many Of
the allegations which are made and
finally asserts that he is solvent, pray
ing a hearing OF the court to deter
mine the cause.
The answer was made on the final
day, allowed by law, being filed by
Attorney :. P. K. Bryan and J. S.
Munro, of Union. The order citing
Duncan to show cause why he should
not be judged a bankrupt was made
returnable last Monday, bur under the
custom of the court, he had five days
to make reply, and the answer was
only sent in Saturday afternoon.
Duncan denies that he is indebted
to the Union cotton mills in the
amount alleged, but admits that he is
indebted to the mills on open account
in an amount to be accurately ascer-
tanned upon an accounting, but in
sum less than the amount claimed.
He also alleges that the Union mills
are indebted to him on its promissory
note and open account in the sum Of
S28,7oo and upwards He denies that
he is indebted to the Buffalo mills and
alleges that the Buffalo mills are in
debted to him in large amount to be
ascertained on accounting.
By reason of his liability as accom-
modation endorser for the Union and
Buffalo mills and also by reason Of
his liability as surety and liability Of
his property, as security for the debts
of the Union and Buffalo mills, he is
not in equity indebted in any sum to
the Union and Buffalo mills.
Duncan admits that the Exchange
Banking and Trust company holds
pDomissory note, which is due and
payable, but denies that after the de-
duction of all of the security held
therefor, there is due and payable at
least the sum of $1,000.
The petition admits that Duncan
did make, execute and deliver the
deeds Of lands in Union and Spartan
burg counties, to various parties, as
charged in the seventh, eight, ninth,
tenth, eleventh and twelfth paragraphs
but he denies the other allegations,
: which are contained, relating to pref
erence of creditors, etc.
Duncan denies the thirteenth para
-graph, that the deeds were given four
months previous to the filing of the
bankruptcy proceedings, on Novem-
Der IS last. He admits, however, that
he did from time to time pay to one
or more creditors certain moneys, and
transferred TO them certain property,
between July IS and November 18, de-
nying other allegations Of insolvency.
In the course of procedure, the
i court will now name a. time for the
hearing, convenient to the attorneys
in the case, if it is to be heard in equi-
ty, or if it is desired that the cause
shall be heard before a jury, then a
time will be fixed, when jury is sit
ting.
