HUSBAND DIED; SHE
WENT TO OFFICE

MANHATTAN. Kas., June H.
Mrs. s. A. Robson is one of the
well-to-do business persons of
Kansas.
One day, several years ago, her
husband, real estate agent, met
death in an accident. He had not
been highly successful, and the
family was dependent on Mrs. Rob-
ison.
One morning, after the funeral,
she went down to the office to see
what the real estate business was
like. She discovered that her hus-
band had several deals hanging
fire." She pushed these through
and got the money. Before long
she was heart and soul In the bust
ness. and since then she has made
q small fortune.

they were SO happy. But here by
the roadside sat little Katrina cry
ing and feeling very miserable be-
cause her papa would not let her
have new wooden shoes and
bright ribbons to wear to the fair,
and SO she would have to stay at
home.
You see, Katrina was a little
girl who lived in PARKWAY Hol-
land. and little Dutch girls wear
wooden shoes that lok very much
like boats you sail In the water.
Katrina was wishing very much
that the pretty lady who often
passed her on the roadway would
come riding by just now. Maybe
the lady would stop and talk to her
as she sometimes did, and tell her
pretty stories.
Just then the lady came. When
Ishe saw Katrina had been crying
Ishe got off her horse and sat down
on the grass beside the little girl
and told her about the fairies.
When she asked Katrina why she
had been crying. poor Katrina
hung her head and told the lady
iit was because her papa would not
buy her new shoes and she would
have to stay at home from the
fair.
Then the lady told her to meet
her there by the roadside the next

|rina came, there stood splen-
ibid carriage with horses. The lady
was sitting in 1t waiting for her,
land there on the seat beside her
were new shoes and pretty ribbons

fate. A Russian woman, pretty
and young. but emaciated and
bearing the marks of extreme
poverty, leaned forward, her eyes
fixed upon the defendant. Once
she sprang up and essayed to
speak, but the attendants sternly
restrained her.
Then counsel for the Russian
government entered their objec-
ton. Ivan Ivanovitch, it ap-
peared, was a notorious criminal
who was wanted" at home for
numerous murders and robberies.
His claim to be a political fugitive
was altogether without founda-
ton. Moreover, Ivan Ivanovitch
was not his real name. Where
I fore. might it please the court to
order his deportation.
Then. slowly and laboriously
through the interpreter, Ivan
Ivanovitch told his story. At first
He spoke in his dull, heavy, wit

however, at the recital of his
wrongs, his speech caught fire.
