Miss Tilda shook with noiseless
mirth over the rufie she was
hemming, but knew her friend
too well to take offense at this
vigorous retort.
Mrs. Lane had neglected TO tell
Miss Tilda that George Risdon
had come twice during the pre-

Mrs. Lane looked rather visit
fully over the broad fields they
were passing. She was thinking
that some people must come near
to dying of overwork for the bare
necessities of life.
There's my house, the white
one on the rising ground, he said,
indicating it with deprecating
pride. 'Tisn't as fancy as some,

He spoke somewhat doggediy,
finding it hard to get the right
words out; but the remarkable
suddenness of this declaration
had left Mrs. Lane mute and
breathless. Her hardworked
little hands trembled in her lap,
and the tears were not far away,
Presently, as she hesitated, look

and the broad sunny fields be-
yond, a boyish twinkle came into

suggested meekly.
Mrs. Lane turned on him with
blazing cheeks and lips which
quivered in shamed pride.

and her voice broke. What could

Canal Dover, O., March 25.-Mary
Collar, wife Of Henry Collar, has
started action in the common pleas

recover $1,000 which she claims her
husband lost 20 the defendants in
poker games played in the past year.
Collar is about 90 years old, and
until year ago was one of the most
frugal farmers in the county. Since
he started on his gambling career he
has gone heavily in debt, and a short
time ago made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors. Among the de-
PENDANTS are George Hanson, Jesse
Hardesty and Fred Goettge, of Canal
Dover and Alvin Vinton and Fred
Alexander, very prominent in social
and business circles.

In her petition Mrs. Collar claims
her husband lost heavily in poker
games in a room kept by Krebs &
Greenwalt, Canal Dover; Christopher
Grunder, New Philadelphia, and Scott

making the assignment collar placed
a mortgage on his farm and sold near
ly all his live stock. The affair is
creating considerable excitement be-
cause of the prominence of many OF
the parties and the fact that Zol-
lar has always been an exemplary cit
