A SHATTERED HOME,
 MARRIAGE AND JAIL
Mrs. A. H. Suggs, Wife of Wickes, Goes to Kansas City. Thinks She Got a Divorce. Returus in Two
 Weeks Married to Boarder.


 2. A. Smith of Wickes and woman claiming to be his wife came to Mena Friday afternoon in response to a summons from the grand jury When they reported at the court house the grand jury had adjourned for the week and Smith was placed in jail, while his companion was left to her freedom.
 From the rumors afloat and the statements of the woman they are in bad tangle, involving the breaking up of one home, a questionable di- vorce and marriage.
 Up until last August MT. ard Mrs. A. H. Suggs and their two little girls, one years of age and the other 4, were living at Wickes. They had lived there for about three years, In July z. A. Smith came to board with the Suggses. He had known Mrs. Suegs before she married.
 August 2. taking her youngest child, Mrs. Suggs went away with Smith. According to the story told by the woman this morning to a reporter for The Star they went to Kansas City, Kas., where she had relatives, and se- cured the services of a lawyer named w. H. Liddick, paying him $50 to get her a divorce from Suggs so that she could marry Smith.
 The woman seems ignorant of the ways of the world in general and es- pecially of court proceedings, and could give but little light on the actual steps taken except that they paid Lid- dick $50 and went before a judge in some big building and she was asked questions regarding the grounds upon which she wished a divorce. She says she told them that her husband had abused her and had some of her rela- tives there to prove it. Then she says they gave her paper Ca receipt she called it) and her lawyer told her it would now be all right for her to marry Smith.
 Next they went to Leavenworth Kas., and went to the court house and the county clerk gave them a marriage license and married them. When it was suggested that county clerks did not have the authority to perform marriage ceremonies, the woman still insisted that the same man who made out the license tied the knot.
 Divorced and married again, the woman, with her new husband, came straight back to Arkansas and arrived at Wickes just two weeks from the time they went away.
 Their acts caused considerable un- favorable comment and resulted in the case being reported to the grand jury.
 Mrs. Smith. or Suggs, us it may be, seems to see the trouble they are in and is greatly worried because her new husband is locked up. When seen by a reporter for The Star she was standing out in the jail yard car rying on conversation, necessarily in a loud tone of voice, with Smith, who was behind the bars in the second story of the jail building. That after noon she went back to Wlckes to get the receipt for the so-called divorce and the license she claims to have re- ceived to marry Smith.
 The woman gives her age at 22 and says that Smith is 25 years of age.

Virginia walked gingerly forward, her
dress flying, her hat whisked to the top
of the room. Grasping the flying rope
end, she pulled downward. The wings
settled slightly, and then, as the gyro-
scope brain felt the depression, the
lowered wings lifted as if consciously
rising to a load. It vas marvellous.
Cant you pull harder?' cried Theo-
dore, ~bareheaded, his hair flying.
"Try!''

Reaching up she pulled herself clear
OF the floor, her strong little form sway

The enormous ~dragon-hy, throwing It's
power into the depressing wing, rode
level, with nine stone weight Of solid
American girl dangling from the tip of
one wing-a mechanical paradox. Back
and forth she swung, until, with mus
Giles weakened, she dropped to the floor.
Instantly, the released side rose a
thought too high, the other took the
power; there was d momentary vibra-
ton. as the momentum of the swing
was taken out by the ~differentials, and
the boat stood in air, as level as a
ship in a calm.
"Hurrahr' shouted Theodore, swing
ing his arms. Never anything like it
in the world. Carried you on one wing,
and kept level. Hurrah for the Vir-
ginia!"
He eased her down, and stepped to

Theodore held the chafed hands, tri-

be who tastes the fruit of achievement.
,"She carried you on one wing" said
he. "She did, didn't she?"
s'She did," replied Virginia; al it

ginia, taking Mrs. Stott's arm.

Virginia looked back, rosy, smiling, a
little reckless. Theodore went for Har-
rod, to help with the launching. They
were all excitement. for by noon of the
next day they would have her in the
air. Mr.. Wilmer, outside in the Stickle-
back, thought it quite time.

Craighead's manner of disposing of
the crowd commanded Mr.. Waddy's
sincere respect. He went about with
marvellous rapidity. sending away
those whose non-utiIity was unaues-

others at .'our Wall Street Office the
name of which made everybody more

demanded damages for having been de-
tanned forcibly in a disreputable place,

putting in evidence Miss Brown and
certain studies in the nude. Mr.. Craig

difference between the naked and the
nude, which so Mortified the lady that
when he asked Miss Brown to Illustrate
certain points which were obscure in
the abstract, she dashed off her goggles
to shut out the awful sight and fed
screaming.
The dinner to which Mr.. Craighead
took Mr.. De Land, Miss Brown and
