SAYS RICH INVALID GAVE

CHICAGO, July 23.-How a fairy in

came into the life of a house servant
and her crippled brother was told in the
Probate Court here When Edward Nor

SI9,OOO worth of bonds and stocks which

l had zone Berserk, l think. leane
over the stair-rail and fired again. Hal
sey, below, yelled at me.
What are you doing up there he
yelled. You missed me by an inch"
And then 1 collapsed and tainted.
When l came around Llddy was rub
bling my temples with eau de q%uinine,
and the search was in full blast.
Well, the man was one. The stable
burned to the ground. while the crowd
cheered at every falling rafter. and the
volunteer fire department sprayed it
with a garden hose. And in the house
Alex and Halsey searched every corner
of the lower floor, finding no one.
The truth of my story was shown
by the broken window and the,
overturned chair. That the unknown
had got upstairs was almost impossible.
He had not used the main staircase,
there was no way to the upper floor in
the east wing, and Liddy had been at
the window, IN the west wing, where
the servants stair went up. But we
did not go to bed at all. Sam Bohan-
non and Warner helped in the search,
and not a closet escaped scrutiny. Even
the cellars were given a thorough over
hauling, without result. The door in
the east entry had a hole through it
where my bullet had gone. The hole
slanted downward, and the bullet was
embedded in the porch. Some reddish
stains showed it had done execution.
Somebody will walk lame Halsey
said, when he had marked the course
of the bullet. IT'S too low to have hit
anything but a leg or a foot
From that time on l watched every
person l met for a limp. and to this day
the man who halts in his walk is an
object of suspicion to me. But Casa
nova had no lame men; the nearest
approach to 1t was ar old fellow who
the safety gates at the rail-
road, and he, [ learned on inquiry,
had two artificial legs. Our man had
gone. and the large and expensive stable
at ~Sunnyside was a heap of smoking
~rafters and chared boards. Warner
swore the fire was ~incendiary, and in
view of the attempt to enter the house,
there seemed 20 be no doubt of it.
The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-07-23

Fire." he yelled. "The stables on
fire."
l could see him in the glare dancing
UP and down on the drive and a mo-
ment later Halsey joined him. Alex
was awake and running down the
stairs. and in five minutes from the
time the fire was discovered three Of
the maids were sitting on their trunks
I'm the drive. although. excepting a few
sparks, there was no fire nearer than
a hundred yards.
Gertrude seldom loses her presence
of mini, and she ran to the telephone.
But by the time the Casanova volun-
teer fire department came toiling up
the hill the stable was a furnace, with
the Dragon Fly, safe but clustered, in
the road. Some gasoline exploded just
as the volunteer department got to
work. which shook their nerves as well
as the burning building. The stable,
being on a hill, was a torch to attract
the population from every direction.
Rumor had it that Sunnyside was burn
ing, and it was amazing how many
people threw something over their
nightclothes and flew to the conflagra-
tion. l take it Casanova has few fires,
and Sunnyside was furnishing the peo-
pie, in one way and another, the great
est excitement they had had for years.
The stable was off the west wing. 1
hardly know how l came to think of
the circular staircase and the %unguard-
ed door at its loot. Liddy vas putting
my clothes into sheets. preparatory to
tossing them out the window, when L
found her, n I could hardly per-
suade her to stop.
Il want you to come with me, Liddy."
I said. Bring a candle and a couple
of blankets"
She Jagged behind considerably when
she saw me making for the east wing
and at the top of the staircase she
baked.
Il am not going down there she said
firmly.
There is no one guarding the door
down there l explained. who
knows?-this may be a scheme to draw
everybody away from this end of the
house and let someone in here"
The instant / had said it I was con-
WINGED l had hit on the explanation,
and that perhaps it was already too
late. 1t seemed to me as I listened

W AMMAN GRANT was, indeed, a
very sensible woman, and, al
though deeply religious, not ut
all severe. Both she and her husband
We're quite willing that their children
should have the pleasures as well as
the tasks of childhood. and in compen
sation for all the work he had to do,
Grant tells us that they made no OBJ

fishing, going to the creek a mile away
to swim in summer, = q = visiting
my grandparents in the adjoining
county, 8 q a skating on the ice in
winter. or taking a horse and sleigh
when there was snow upon the ground"
Theirs seems to have been a wholesome
family life, with much quiet affection,
though it was not the habit of either
parents OF children to show it openly.
Ulysses had a great deal of liberty.
Certain tasks had to be done. but il
one of these happened to be distasteful
TO him, and he could get a substitute to
perform it for him, no objection was
made. In the matter of horses, after
that early trade had taught him to be
more wary, he was allowed to have his
own way, caring for them and trading
them as suited his fancy. Being a
trustworthy lad, and so very expert a
driver, ihs father did not hesitate TO
send him long distances on errands.
In this a he visited Cincinnati sew
eral times and Louisville once; and
when a neighbours family was moving
away from Georgetown, he drove them
and their belongings to Chillicothe, sew
enty-five miles away. He was probably
the most Travelled boy in Georgetown,
and these journeys were also an educa-
ton. not only in knowledge of the
country which they gave him, but in
self-reliance and readiness to meet un-

WIFE DIVORCES
T|GHTWAO SPOUSE
In Suit Claimed Her Husband
Was the champion
Mean Man"

On the allegation that her husband
was the champion mean man. in that
he kept close check on the number of
potatoes, eggs and other articles of foo
used by the family, Mrs. Minnie Eek
hard, of 231 East Kinney street, has
just been granted a decree of divorce.
The charges of cruelty and desertion
were set forth in the complaint, which
was not contested. In her testimony,
Mrs. Eckhard swore that her husband
developed the habit of counting pota-
toes, eggs and similar articles of food
consumed by the family. If he consid-
cred the number was greater than it
should have been, she said. he punished
her by refusing to allow her sufficient
money to meet the next weeks ex-
penses.

TF Halsey had only taken me fully
into his confidence, through the
whole affair it would have been
much simpler. If he had been alto
gether frank about Jack Bailey, and if
the day after the fire he had told me
what he suspected, there would have
been no narrowing period for all of us,
with the boy in danger. But young
people refuse to profit by the experience
of their elders. and sometimes the cid
ers are the ones to suffer.

fire, and Gertrude insisted on my going
out. The machine was temporarily out
Of commission, and the carriage horses
had been sent to q farm for the sum

the Casanova liveryman, and we went
out. Just as we turned from the drive
into the road we passed a woman. She
had put down a small valise, and stood
inspecting the house and grounds mi
nutely. l should hardly have noticed
her, a it not been for the fact that
she had beer horribly disfgured by
smallpox.
