THERON Lord"
STARTS SOON

A woman Of mystery, whose account
OF herself, If true. Is one Of the most
thrilling life stories ever told, arrived
In this city yesterday on her way to
Kirktown Through the advice of her
counsel she at first denied herself to
all interviewers; but at last consent
ed to give a reporter for this paper
brief outline Of her narrative.
The woman Miss Ida Romer,
formerly of Cornwall = Is strikingly
beautiful. and not more than twenty
years old. Yet she has undergone ad-
vantures such as seldom are crowded
into the longest life. She is the daugn-
ter Of Jacob Romer, the British Iron
Lord; but, though almost penniless,
refuses to accept any portion of her
fathers vast wealth.
Romer, according to the young lady's
story grew tired of his invalid vito,
last year, and shipped her off with
Mrs VIDA. on what purported to be
a pleasant holiday jaunt in one of his
own trading ships. Romer's right
hand man, James Kahn, was put In
charge of the vessel. During a severe
storm off the Hebrides the two women
were locked in their statrooms. The
shock and violence of the storm prov
ed too much for the invalid's delicate
health. and before morning she had
died Vida, left alone in the world and
unable to summon aid, at length sue
ceeded in breaking out Of the cabin
and making her way on deck
The storm had subsidized but. to her
horror, the girl found herself the sole
| - thin Rohn and the
crew had fled in boats, leaving the
. battered hulk of the vessel to break UP
against the rocks toward which she
was rapidly drifting.
The situation was terribly precar.
ious Far more so, in fact, than the
luckless maiden understoor To be
alone on a leaky, doomed ship in for
eign seas, with not sail visible In
all the wide expanse Of gray water
ignorant Of seamanship, Of the full ma
ture of her own peril. 1t was situa
| ton. which seemingly, could not be
made worse. Yet far worse was close
at hand.
In fact, Miss Romer was merely al
the beginning of series OF catastro
Plies So exciting and absorbingly dra
matte as to prove worthy the pen u
a master mind of fiction. And such {
master mind has told Vida Romer's
thrilling romance. It forms the theme
OF "The Iron Lord" s. r. Crockett's
masterpiece.
"The Iron Lord" is by far the bes
novel Mr.. Crockett has ever written
It is vibrant with action and human
interest This splendid story has no
yet appeared in book form. but thi:
paper has secured first publication
rights and will issue it as serial.
i On no account neglect to read "Tht
I Iron Lord" 1t is book in q million
One you cannot afford to miss.

Van Hester Is Dead.

Abba. Nov 19.-Van Kester, one OF
the best known old soldiers in this
county, died at his home in Abba on
Sunday about 9 p. m. He had been
suffering with abcess of the liver and
thought his death would result, and
the announcement this morning causes
great sadness among his many friends
and the deepest sympathy is extended
to the bereaved wife and daughter.
The arrangements have not beeii
completed for the funeral but the
body will probably be held until the
daughter, who lives in Boston, can
reach the city. This is the second
death in a week among the old soldiers
Of the county and it brings to evidence
the truthfulness of the statement that
the ranks are being rapidly thinned.
