way of Deing prescribed for. And I'll
see to it that he takes his medicine
before he turns in tonight. You may
trust me for that"
Thus Mr.. Morton p. Adams, in
irony far too subtle for the flaxen-
haired Bessie. But Winton's replies
were not specially irrelevant when Vir-
ginia evoked them. On the contrary,
he was finding her sallies keenly pro-
vocative Of what Wit and readiness
there was in him.

demonstrating, for the third time in
as many minutes, how inadequate a
mans wit is to cope with a woman's.
Il do enjoy it," she confessed, with
the brown eyes confirming the ad-
mission. What woman does not?
Isn't your mans attitude towards us
one of thinly yelled contempt at the
very best? For instance: you said
just now that while no woman could
do without a man, the reverse was
true of the man"

The shifting process carried him
over to the Rajah and the Reverend
Billy, to a small table in a corner OF
the compartment, and the enjoyment
of mild cigar and such desultory
racketing of the ball of conversation
as three men, each more or less in

There was no more to be said, and
the technologian held his peace while
Winton scrubbed line of acceptance
on a leaf of his notebook and sent 1t
across to the Rosemary by the hand
OF the water boy. But in the evening,
as they were setting out from the con-
struction camp to walk up the track to
Argentine, he made a final effort to
call halt.

he protested. There il that consign-

up the status post bellum in the terse
phrase: After war, peace" Mr. Oar

Such was the suspicious beginning
of an evening which Winton thought
worthy to be marked in his calendar

moniously on the cheerful refrain;

filed all horizons for Winton.
Knowing no more than any serious

of dinner party, and caring still less
for them, he monopolized her shame

In the interval of plate laying lie ma

For another man the informal table

with a Virginia Careteret to help, but
Winton was far above the trammel-
ings of time and place. All attempts
on the part CT his host, Mrs Martha,
Adams, CT the Reverend Billy to en-
tangle him in the general table talk
failed signally. He had eyes and ears
only for the sweet-faced, low-voiced
young woman beside him, and some
of his replies to the others were ir-
relevant enough to send a smile
around the board.

VICTIM OF WRECK
DIES OF INJURIES
WILLIAM KELLOGG SUCcUMBS
IN HOSPITAL
Death ls Expected Of at Least One
More Of the InIured--coroner's
Jury VIII Begin Inquiry
Today

William Kellogg. a nephew Of Wado
M. York, one Of the injured in the coli
lision between Sierra Madre car and
an engine Of the Southern Pacific COM
pany near Oneonta Park, died last
night at the California hospital.
Beside the dying man were his rela-
tives, who had despaired of his re-
covery.
His body was removed to the morgue
of Pierce Bros. When Kellogg was
taken to the hospital the physicians
thought he would probably recover, but
Sunday he suffered from hemorrhage,
and since that time DR.. Edward T.
Dillon, who had been with the injured
man since the accident, had given up
hope.
Young Kellogg had many friends in
this city and was well known In busi-
ness and social circles.
More Deaths May Result
Several more deaths are expected as
a result of the accident.
Miss Blanche st. George is lying un-
conscious at the Pacific hospital, suf-
fering from concussion of the brain,
anu SIle may ule DIT dIly llOuT.
Several other MANNED victims of the
wreck may suffer relapse at any time,
their physicians say, and add to the
death roll.
Representative business men COM
posing a coroner's jury will today seek
to determine the responsibility for the
disaster.
The inquest will be held at Pierce
Bros morgue at 1880 o'clock on the
i o. MI 49, -
lake avenue.
Prior to the inquest Coroner Trout
will take the jury to the scene of the
accident and view the spot where the
Southern Pacific engine plowed it's
way through the heavy electric coach.
Injured VIII Testify
A number of witnesses have been
summoned, including several of the
less severely injured.
The officials of the Pacific Electric
company said yesterday their investi-
cation was not yet complete. Much
evidence is expected to be brought out
at the inquest this morning.
Conductor A. L. Smith of the i'll
fated car claims the company is at
fault. as the time schedule does not adj
nit of long stop at the railroad cross
ing. The company officials deny this
assertion and say positively that the
rule is absolute for all cars to stop
before reaching the crossing to allow
the conductor to walk ahead and look
in either direction for approaching
trains.
Motorman Silas Perkins is in a Pasa-
dena hospital, suffering from frac-
tured leg and other injuries and prob
ably he will not be present at the in
quest.
1t is claimed by the conductor that
the motorman mistook his signal and
went ahead just as the train bore down
upon the car Engineer L. A. Potter,
whose presence of mind averted a
worse disaster, witnesses say, claims he
blew his whistle and then did every
thing possible to stop his train when he
saw the electric car crossing his tracks.

HARTJE CASE
NEARS AN END
Detective TELLS OF FINDING
LOVE LETTERS
Attorneys Succeed In Drawing Witness
Into TangIe Concerning Meth
DDS Employed in Getting
Evidence
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, July 30.-Beginning
with the sixth week and what is ex-
pected to be the final week of the
Hartje divorce trial, today was taken
up with the long expected evidence as
TO the manner in which Augustus
Hartje procured the love letters al
legged to have been written by Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje to Tom Nadine,
the coachman correspondent in the
case.
John D. Staubb, private detective,
swore that he opened Madness trunk
at the house in which Nadine roomed
on two occasions. The first time was
May 81 and the second time June 49,
The second occasion,y he. said, John
Anderson, another detective was with
him. Staubb is the man who has been
known as Craig"
He declared that after the letters
had been shown to Andrew Fisher,
Hartjes brother-in-law, they were
mailed by Staubb to Attorney Scott
Ferguson, chief counsel for Hartje.
DetectiveI Somewhat Ratified
Staubb was subjected to a vigorous
cross -exa mination, and the relation
of the methods which he and his
brother detectives used caused much
amusement Staubb was unable to
tell what other articles were in the
trunk and several times became
tangled under the cross-examination
Anderson corroborated Staubb in
regard to the second looting of the
trunk.
The superintendent of the detective
agency also testified as to the direc-
tions given his men and receiving the
letters from them. Objection was
made by Mrs. Hartje's attorneys 10
the introduction of the testimony, but
Judge Robert B. Fraser admitted 1t,
declaring, however, that the other
side would be allowed the fullest lati-
tude in seeking to rebut the evidence.
Last Witness Called
Andrew Fisher, brother-in-law of
Augustus Hartje, was the last witness
of the day. He assumed responsible
ity for hiring the detectives and said
that the attorneys for his brother-in-
law did not know where the letters
came from until he told them
Incidental to the story of the rob-
berry of the trunk it developed that
letter and telegram signed by John f.
Scott, father of Mrs. Hartje, was

with writing.
1t is alleged that a paragraph in
this letter read:
