visited the police, hospitals and hotels.
He found no trace until he reached the
Metropole here yesterday afternoon.
He remembered the Metropole as a no.
tel in which he and his wife had once
lived for. short, time. and in despair
he went to the Office for information.
His eyes fell on his wife's name,
penned with her own hand in the regis
ter of guests. A telephone call was
sent to the room 1t brought no re-
sponse Then the husband asked to
be shown. to her room, which was in
the hotel annex. He himself unlocked
the door His wife's lifeless body lay
before him on the bed, only her outer
garments removed.
The farewell note, addressed to Mrs
Heller,s father, was on dresser 1t

Upheld by Devotion

Upheld by his devotion Baron fought
on despite all obstacles. His dual role
as motorman and society man was dis
covered, but he received the smiles of
his social acquaintances and the laugh
ter of his fellow workers with eoual
equanimity. His object was to get the
consent of Miss Bogue and her parents
and he changed the bell and manipu-
lated the controlling bar until he
achieved it.
The common opinion is that Boeue
pere admitted the grit of the young
painter and Mrs. Bogue the devotion.
Miss Bogue had her own reasons.
Having won the girl Baron philosoph-
ically gave up his job, packed his grip
and fed back, to Europe. there to take
up the broken threads of his career.
Again he won and ultimately the en-
gagement was announced.
Rewarded by Loyalty
While in San Francisco Baron was a
regular guest at all of the card parties
and entertainments given by Miss
bo8ue. re Wds Hcr escort In ner auto
mobile rides and her constant com
panion. The companionship did not
cease when it became known in society
circles that the distinguished looking
painter was also motorman. To Miss
Bogue this fact did not seem to make
the least difference.
SO staunch was her friendship and so
intense her loyalty to him when he
was made the object of laughter that
some of her friends surmised the rela-
ton in which they stood to each other,
but no definite word Of engagement
was uttered The few close friends who
knew the couple well enough to guess
their secret declared that the test was
a severe one for both of them

Friends Guessed Secret

Orders came not. Baron the artist
and lover had to live. He had come TO
San Francisco to be near Miss Bogue.
and rather than give up and go back
to the shelter of his Italian home he
obtained a job as motorman. He hung
on through thick and thin, his reward
coming in the evenings when he would
find himself in the company of Miss
Bogue.
He visited her constantly" said his
friends who knew him when he lived
among them at the club quarters OF
the Cercle PUnion. There is, not the
least doubt but that he is the same
man. All of us understood that he
had a reason for staying in San Fran
cisco, working as he did, when he had
far better prospects and comforts in
the east and in Europe. Some of us
understood that reason by his constant
visits to the BOgue residence"

The bonds issued by the court
of st. Clair county some years ago
in aid of a proposed railroad that
never was built have again been
validated by the Federal Courts,
and the county again ordered to
pay the $3.50, 900, or SO, with ac-
crued interest amounting to as
much more. The case has been
before the Federal Courts, time
and again, and st Clair's county
judges have been repeatedly
ordered to tax their people for the
s~o-called debt. Refusing to do
this they have been fined and
thrown in jail for contempt
that far-reaching all-compEehend-
ing offense, whose bounds, in the
vision of the legally unlettered,
run into the twilight zone on every
hand. 1t is not contended that
any equivalent was ever given fol
these bonds, but hat as they are
now in possession of ''innocent
holders"-a convenient legal
fiction often employed by lawyers
regardless of justice and equity
they must be paid, with interest.
But "must" and accomplishment
sometimes are a far cry apart.
