Hotel Under Hammer.

The little town Of Upper sandusky
was to have a sherif's sale. The
towns best hosiery, the Hotel Gott-
fried, was to be knocked down under
the hammer TO satisfy the holders OF a
mortgage given by Mrs. z. NJ Car
son, the proprietor. Naturally the lit
tie town was agog with excitement,
and people came IN from the surround
ing country to see who would get the
hotel.
Decked for the occasion in holiday
attire the people were expecting ex-
element, but what took place at the
sheriT's sale and events that followed
were more sensational than even they
had bargained for.

bitter resentment against the young
woman who had apparently deprived
them OF a hotel.

bEWHE battle of wits was
waged over the posses
sion Of the Gottfried Ho-
z tel, owned by Mrs. ANA
liza Gottfried and leased
by Mrs. E. NJ. Carson. These wom-
en- had the support of every citizen
Of the town, but that availed them
nothing, for Miss Lynch was far
too clever for them.
Coup after coup was executed
with a brilHancy that was little
short of marvellous. Through it all
Miss Lynch had right and justice
on her side, and these with per-
sistence and sagacity, were finally
triumphant
The story of the way in which
Miss Lynch, forced to fight every
step of her way on the ground of
her enemies own choosing, finally
secured the hotel, is as pretty and
as well constructed as a drama. At
points it is full of heart interest,
for one cannot help sympathizing
with Miss Lynch in her unequal
fight for the hotel, which repre-
scented an investment of money
that had taken years of toll and
saving to heap up. No one can fail
TO admire this vigorous and re-
sourceful young woman who sue
