Accustomed as he has been to
seeing large crowds at the even

Combs, in charge of the state tuber-
culosis exhibit now on display in
the armory, is rather surprised
that so few persons are attending
the evening sessions here.
The meeting last night was under
the direction of the Woman's club
of Spokane and not more than 100
persons were present to listen to
the excellent addresses delivered
by prominent women of this city.
During the day 100 children
from the Catholic schools visited

Whaling formerly was extensively
carried on and was perilous occupa-
ton. The business is not yet tree
from danger, Notwithstanding mod
ern improvements In the carrier
days the chief risk was to the crews
of the whale boats which put out TO
harpoon and follow the big cetaceans.
Then it was a case of hunting the
whale, with the latter frequently turn
ing on the boats and smashing them,
the men thus being menaced with
drowning. Now the tables seem to be
turned to a certain extent, and the
whales hunt the ships. At all events
news comes from Alaska that q
whaler was wrecked in Alaskan wa

sent her all his savings, through
Barnes, and counted every sacrifice

The village watch tinker prepared
for her coming as his bride. Through
the years she had set dates and even
named trains But always there was
something to prevent her coming.
He had become SO insistent for a
sight of the one he adored that even
the resourceful Barnes had run out OF
excuses. There was only one way out
Of it. He would have to kill Gladys
He hated to do it because she had been
very profitable to him, but there did
not seem to be any other way out OF
it. So he went down to Philadelphia
and wrote a letter to Osborne, telling
him that Gladys was dead. He was
staggered by the blow. She had never
been born in flesh and blood, but she
had lived in his mind and heart.
Somebody asked him about the bi

UTHING TON, Conn. - When
y George F. Osborne, the village
matchmaker, came into the court OF
Judge Thomas F. Walsh the other day
to face William A. Barnes, he wore
a bit of black bound about his hat, en-
5lem of mourning for the death OF a
sweetheart who had never lived.
He had loved her and worshiped
her, as is only possible to a shy and
wistful bachelor to whom dreams are
more than realities. He was there to
testify against his neighbor, Barnes,
for swindling him out of his savings
for fourteen years by playing on his
imagination with mythical Marjorie
Daw," but 1t was not that he cared for
the money that was gone. He would
gladly have forgiven Barnes the f1nan'
cial fraud If he could have given him
back the dead sweetheart who had
never lived.
Barnes and Osborne had been GRO
MES all their lives. Osborne wanted g
sweetheart but he was far too timid
to win one unless some one helped
him. Barnes told him about Gladys
Wilson. He had known her In Phila
delphia. She was beautiful. Barnes
