away from the glamour of Chicago's
bohemia, and an artist who made a
great sacrifice when moved by q girl
tears-these things are all that is left
of one of the little tragedies of the local
artists world.
Briefly, the romance centers about =
young and pretty girl, Miss Marion Nc
Kenzie, who, tired Of the humdrum ex-
istence in country town near Winsor,
Canada, came to Chicago in the hope
life here would be more enjoyable. Her
air castles soon tumbled after arriv-
ing, and within three weeks she was
alone, friendless, and without money.
Pride prevented her from writing her
parents of her misfortune, and she re-
solved to struggle on alone.
: While looking through the want ads
a newspaper, an advertisement for an
artists model caught her eye, and she
answered it. The reply that came back
brought JOY to her heart, and she went
to the address given, the studio of

do building, at State and Ontario
streets.
Her pretty face, beautiful form, and
type of beauty appealed to the artist.

United States Contemplates
Sending Troops to Island.
Bloodshed Is Expected Before
Staple Government Prevails.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Like a thun-
derbolt in a clear sky to the average
American citizen comes the rumor, APP
parentfy emanating from a reliable
source. that within six weeks the
United States will in all probability be
called upon to invade Cuba with
troops; that ammunitions of war are
being held in readiness for this move,
and that bIoodshed is expected before
a staple government is again inaugur-
ated in the island republic. In view
of the threat made by President Taft
in 1908 that if the stars and stripes
should ever again fly over Cuba they
would not be Withdrawn, this has spe-
ciaI Significance.
Bold graft, as well as other forms of
unsound government are to bring
about the crisis. Petty jealousies and
wilful intent have prevented the pas
sage of any bills in congress which
could be interpreted as being of inter
est to the people of Cuba. and condi-
lions are in a most precarious state
After a careful investigation, backed
nv the reports of John b. Jackson,
minister to Cuba it has been found
that at least two specific cases of graft
have worked great harm to the city OF
