MALoNEY WEDDING OFF.
Daughter of Oil Millionaire to Bs Frss
 to Marry Again.

New York, April 30. If Supreme Court Justice Mccall confirms the re port of Referee Daniel F. Cohalan Helen Maloney, daughter of Martin Maloney. the Standard oil millionaire ennobled by the pope for aiding Cath ollc charities, will be free to marry Samuel Clarkson, the yoS1g English man with whom she eloped last Sep tember. The action was brought tt annul Miss Maloney's marriage to Ar thur H. Osborne, young broker.
 At the hearing just ended the prin cipal witnesses were Miss Maloney Osborne and William H. Boyd, who as justice of the peace at Mamaro- neck performed what he thought was a binding marriage ceremony two years ago.
 The couple were married under fic titious names, and Miss Maloney said she considered the affair in the light of lark. Osborne and Boyd told the referee that they considered the cere mony a serious affair, although the justice of the peace admitted that he did not examine the parties undel oath to ascertain the. correctness oi their statements.
 The report early last fall that thu daughter of the Philadelphia million aire had run off with Clarkson, wht had been a guest at the summer home of the Maloneys at Spring Lake, N. J. caused great surprise.
 Following close upon this was thu assertion of Osborne that he was thu husband of Miss Maloney. He alst declared that Clarkson knew of hel former marriage. ...
 It is believed that with the lega strengthening out of Miss Maloney'i marital status permission will be ob tained from the pope for her to wet Clarkson.

GREEN-EYE'S SECOND SIGHT

could not understand why he did not

In 1t for him. they said
But krantz was getting old He re-

comment.
Then Krantz flung to the gossips a
sensation. One morning he took Milly
into Green-eyes presence, into the
circular cage. He told her TO walk
about Then he put Green-eye through
the drill. When the beast growled.
Krantz spoke to him and shook the
silken ruffies of the skirt until they

he taught Milly to give the commands

David stared at her, his lips parted
In an fncredulous smile.

please don't tell anybody"
In the afternoon. David saw her go
into the big cage alone He could not
feel confident. But, standing by. he
again saw the wavering indecision OF
the beast, a seeming watchfulness
which was really listening. The un.
certainty of its movement, save in in.
sunctive obedience. expressed the
doubt of the blind perfectly-to one
who knew.
