he loved me-he loved me; but he was
too generous ever to press his claim
upon me, even though he knew | cared
for him-cared for him deeply. He
wanted me to enjoy my wonderful sue
cess, unhampered by the cares of do,
nestle life. Wait; choose your own
time to marry me, dear, that was
what he always said / didn t realize
heart for me- It was only when my
dear got i'll that I realized the truth,
for he called out in his delirium-called
out to the woman he had loved so pa
tiently and SO well--to come to him,
never recognizing that she was there
by his bedside. And on the night he
died, he said, being still very deIirious,
that 1 had never loved him. never could
have loved him. l had preferred fame
and ambition-to happiness.
She shuddered, and David Royant no
longer wondered how it was that when
she played on her violin men and
women wept.
A silence fell, which neither the man
nor the woman cared to break; then
the dance music suddenly ceased in
the ballroom, and a second later a
young couple swept up to the entrance
of the little sitting-out room. The
sound of their happy talk reached
David Royant and the violinist
'sTo sit out with one IS husband

voice was full of delicious moekery,
her lips rippled with smiles:
Madam, you know you are in
lovei' He spoke in tones of masterful
tenderness. "And in love with your
own property, too. Absurd"
The girl gave little gurgling laugh
"Jaek, you darling" she whispered,
'sisn't it good to be happy7 Aren It
you glad we didn t marry for money,
but for love?'
They moved away, in the full hey
day of their youth and strength, exult-
ing in each other and in life, a crowned
son and daughter of joy, drawn back
to the clamor of the hearthside.
Ell Dorado murmured David Roy
ant, gently. But Vanessa did not an

David Royant was silent for mo-
ment, then he touched his companion
upon the arm.
"Shall we make search together for
the road which leads back to FL Do
rado?'' he asked. ''Shall we try to
find the lost country, or does it be-
long only to the rich7"
''Only to youth, I'm afraid,'' she
whispered back. "And we have lost

ADMITS LOVE FOR ANOTHER;
HUSBAND GIVEN DIVORCE
Wife Says 1t Would Be Wrong to Live
with Him in Present Frame
of Mind

Letters from his wife containing eX-
pressions of love for an old sweetheart
aided Otis L. Mcconnell in procuring d
divorce from Louisa NJ. Mcconnell in
the divorce court yesterday After his
marriage in HOrseheads, N. Y, in l90j
Mcconnell said, he came to Los An
geles expecting his wife TO follow when
she nursed her mother through a seri-
Gus illness. His expectations were not
realized, for among the first letters he
received from his wife was one telling
him John Allen, an old sweetheart had
returned and the love she believed was
dead had been revived.
Mcconnell received the last letter
from his wife in July, last year. ''I
love John" she wrote, "and feeling as
I do it would be the greatest wrong to
live with you and not love you"
Mcconnell was given a decree.
Other DEGREES granted were as fol-
lows: Rose Grafton from Dr. Frank
e. Grafton, Marie de Moore from
Clarence de Moore, Ellen Ida Little
from Richard H. Little, Della Millard
from M. T. Millard and Anna f.
Stearns from Clinton H. Stearns.

Monthly

Trial of the suit of Miss Marion
Mofsatt against her father for an
allowance of $1O0 a month was abr /btly
halted by Judge Monroe of the SUPERIOR
court yesterday when the young Won't
ans attorney stated Moffatt had agreed
some time ago to give his daughter
$50 every thirty days, The case was
continued until Nov. 80, and in the
meanwhile Moffatt will be communi-
Gated with at his home in Pendleton
Canada, to learn if he is in the same
frame of mind
Moffatt was separated from his wife
by a decree of divorce about year
ago, and while giving Mrs. Moffatt
two pieces of Olive street property and
$4,000 in money, he made no provision
for his daughter, who had not attained
her majority. Later, it is said, he of
fered to make her an allowance of $50
a month, which was declined, and suit
was begun for twice that sum.

He said camera enthusiasts here did
not pay enough attention to the sea
son of the year in which they took
their picture for its best effect, and
that with her natural beauty of sur
roundings the Angel city had every op-
portunity to come to the foreground Ill

In San Francisco he remarked, the
camera was combatted with wind and
fog, while here the climatic and sun
shine helped to make the picture al

engaged by the Orpheum circuit for the
display of their pictures on a tour of
the northwest recently. They are now

.tiEIRS FILE ANSWER
TO WILL CONTESTS
DECLARE ONLY PURPOSE is re
HARASS THEM
Alleges Conspiracy Between Attorney
Hutchison and Others to De-
fraud Them of BalIerino
Property

Alleging that the only purpose in fill
ing contests to the will of the late Bar
tolo Ballerino is to harass and defraud
his heirs, attorneys representing the
heirs filed answers to the contest pa
pers in the probate court yesterday.
These answers refer especially to the
contest filed by Attorney E. L. Hutch
lson on behalf of Miss Jeane Uhalt,
who, according to Hutchison, was be-
queathed the major portion Of the old
crib kings estate in will of which
only a copy has so far been produced.
The replies to Attorney Hutchison's
contest are that if Ballerino did make
a will in favor of Miss Uhalt that doc
ument was revoked by the terms of
what is known as the Quien will, and,
is is added, Miss Uhalt is absent from
the state and the contest was filed
without her knowledge.
Alleges Conspiracy
A conspiracy between Attorney
Hutchison and other persons is alleged
by the heirs, who say the only purpose
is to harass, defraud and delay them,
and that it was never intended that
valid and legal will should be pro-
duced.
The claim is also made that Ballerino
and Miss Uhalt We're on unfriendly
terms for seven years prior to his
death and that she knew all wills made
by him prior to the Quien will had
been Cancelled.
Attorneys representing the persons
and institutions in the Quien will en-
deavored yesterday to obtain depo-
sition from Attorney Hutchison, but he
refused to answer any questions con-
cerning the date of the alleged Uhalt
will or it's whereabouts.

A NEW WHOLESALE
HOUSE FOR LOS ANGELES
s. A. Brown & Go. take Office and Sam
pIe Rooms in the Parmelee-DOhrmann
Building 444 South Broadway.
PIANOS AND ORGANS

Mr.. s. A. Brown, the head of the
new iobbing and distributing concern
for the southwest, is well known
figure in local musical circles, having
established or reorganized nine music
firms in the city of Los Angeles dur
ing the last thirteen years, and is con-
ceded to be one of the best posted
men in the entire trade, having had
twenty-five years of experience on a
large scale.
The new firm is the first exclusive
wholesale piano house on the Pacific
coast. It will operate in the eight
western states.
Mr.. Brown states that the small
dealers outside the large cities can
now buy one or more pianos without
being forced to pay the high, or single
shipment, freight rate as heretofore.
This will encourage small dealers and
distribute the sale of pianos more
generally throughout the country. We
believe that a citizen should buy his
piano as well as his groceries from hlS
home merchant.
A large stock of sample pianos and
player pianos will be kept on hand,
thus insuring prompt shipment. A
telephone call from an out-of-town
dealer will land a piano at his place
of business in twelve to twenty-four
hours and save him carrying a large
stock of the various styles on hand.
Merchants are invited TO call or get in
touch will the new firm any time after
January /, 1910.

MAN ACCUSED OF FALSE
PRETENSES DISCHARGED

B. F. Edwards, arrested two weeks
ago on a charge of obtaining property
from ]. d. Ryan by false representa-
tions. was ordered discharged from
custody by Judge Davis yesterday, af-
ter Edwards attorney, John Boards
ley, had taken the case into the GRIM
inal court on a writ of habeas corpus.
Edwards purchased eight horses
from Ryan November 2. giving him a
promissory note for $775 and 800 in
cash. In support of his assurance he
was in a position to pay the note when
1t became due he told Ryan he owned
HOO acres of land in Riverside county.
Edwards preliminary examination
was held in Justice Ling's court De-
cember 20 and the testimony of two
Riverside county officers was that Ed
wards owned no land in the county at
that time.
In the habeas corpus proceedings the
accused mans attorney showed by the
evidence at the preliminary hearing
there was nothing brought to prove
Edwards did not own the land at the
time of his transaction with Ryan, and
Judge Davis took the same view of the
case in ordering Edwards release.
