Larkin, too spent to protest, lay
back on his pillow. He had been put
to bed by the determined physician.
Thanks to sedative, he closed his eyes
and slept
Before the week was done the house
was cleared of patients with the one
exception of Larkin. He stayed on
Every day he was fearful lest the
physician announce that he was well
enough to resume his interrupted
journey.

actor one morning, gazing at the girl
with appreciative eyes. Il haven't

stammered the crimson-faced maid
She hurried from the room. Larkin
followed her exit with surprised eyes.

returned to the room the flush was
gone from her cheeks, and she was

she said simply, and brought him
around to the subject again.
Time went on. The day of Larkin's
return to the city could not be post
poned much longer. A contract and
tiresome rehearsals called him back.
With the spirit of his kind, the actor
carefully diagnosed his feelings for
this simple maid whom he was leav-
ing behind.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED
BY SUPREME COURT

case of Rose c. Sargent. Administrative
OF the estate OF George l.. Sargent. de-
ceased, against the Union Fuel company.
appellant. Sargent was killed while en-
mine in Summit county on April 23. 1908
and his widow brought an action for
damages for his death. The jury re-
turned a verdict in her favor for 100000
whereupon tho company appealed.
The action was at first brought in the
name OF Mrs. Sargent personally. but
afterwards the complaint was amended
by adding her name as administrative Of
her husbands estate as a party plaintiff.
Later another amendment was. made in
the title OF the action by withdrawing
the name Of Mrs. Sargent as party
and leaving il stand IN her name as ad-
ministratriX of the estate. Both of these
amendments were consented to by the
attorneys for the company. Afterwards
they moved TO dismiss the action be-
cause of the substitution OF an entirely
different party as plaintiff This motion
was denied by the court and the ruling
on that matter Is cited as error on the
part OF the lower court
Answer of Company.
In its answer the company set up the
defense OF contributory negligence and
assumed risk and at the conclusion OF
the evidence for plaintiff moved for a
suit. This motion was denied also
by the court.
The supreme court holds that the COM
pany cannot come in now and claim that
the court erred by permitting the sub
stltutlon of parties plaintiff after IL had
consented 10 the amendment of the COM
plaint In that respect, and hence holds
that the court did not err in that rul-
ing. II is further held that the court did
not err in denying the motion for a nom
suit. as the evidence was sufficient to
show negligence on the part of the com
pany in that II failed to properly timber
