he had alone with Carroll, Orde
arrived at a more intimate plane
Of conversation with her. He
came to an understanding of her I'M
questioning acceptance of Mrs. Bish-
ops attitude. Carroll truly believed
chat none but herself could perform
for her mother the various petty offices
that lady demanded from her next of
kin and that her practical slavery was
due by every consideration Of filial af
lection. In his hotel room he brooded
thoughts took very gloomy tinge in
deed. To begin with, in spite of his
mothers assurance he had no faith
in his own cause. His acquaintance
with Carroll was but an affair of
months, and their actual meetings
comprised incredibly few days. Orde
was naturally humble minded. 1t did
not seem conceivable to him that he
could win her without a long court
ship. And superadded was the almost
intolerable weight of Carroll's ideas as
to her domestic duties.
Nevertheless, at the very moment
when he had made up his mind that it
would be utterly useless even to in
/ dulge in hope for some years to come.
he spoke. 1t came about suddenly and
entirely without generalization.
The two had escaped for breath of
air late in the evening. Following the
conventions, they merely strolled to the
end Of the block and back. always
within sight of the house. Carroll was
in a tired and pensive mood. She held
her head back, breathing deeply.
Its only little strip, but it's the
stars" said she, looking up to the sky
between the houses. They're so quiet
and calm and big"
She seemed to Orde for the first
time like little girl. A wave Of ten
derness lifted Orde from his feet. He
leaned over, his breath coming quickly.

She shrank back.

She did not pretend to misunderstood.

Il must notv' she cried, luttering
like a bird. II promised myself long
ago that l must always, always take
care Of mother"
"Please, please, DEAR" pleaded Orde
He had nothing more to say than this
just the simple incoherent symbols OF
pleading, but in such crises it is rather
the soul than the tongue that speaks
His hand met hers and closed about it
Don't you care for me, dear?" asked
Orde very gently.

swered she. Il have tried, oh, so hard
to keep you from saying this. for

"You do care for mev' he cried.
They had mounted the steps and
stood just within the vestibule.

you love me! Tell me that you'll marry

leave her." she said sadly.
"But you must marry me-" pleaded
Ortle. I'VE are made for each other

"It would have to be after grea
many years." she said doubtfully
Good night. Come to me tomorrow.
She slipped inside the half open door.

round ended almost Immediately to
storm of applause from the galleries.
4 Orde sprang at his adversary in the
third, repeating the headlong rush
with which the previous round had
ended. The young man hammered
away tirelessly, insistently, delivering
a hurricane Of his two handed blows,
pressing relentlessly in as Murphy
shifted and gave ground, his head up,
his eyes steady. The gallery was in
an uproar. Precipitation stood out all
over Murphy's body. His blows failed
of their effect, and some Of Orde's
were landing. At length, bewildered,
he closed in to straight smuggling. stand
up, give and take.
Orde dropped slightly his right Shout
der behind his next blow. The glove
crashed straight as pile driver
through Murphy's appraised hands to
his face. The trainer was hurled
through the air to land doubled up
against the parallel bars. There he
lay quite still.
When, however, Orde perceived that
Murphy was unconscious he ran for
ward to the professionals side.
DO you suppose he's killed" he
gasped.
Hes just knocked out" treasured
one of the men.
The clubmen crowded about.

one
by Jove, he's hardly breathing fast
after all that rushing" said a second.
Later, when the young men were
resting after a rundown. the true sig
nificance Of the affair for Orde came
out. Since the fight Gerald's customa-
ry lassitude was gone. His eye was
bright, and q color mounted beneath
the pale olive of his skin. He looked
across at Orde several times, hesitated
and at last decided to speak.
"Look here, Orde," said he, II want
to confess something. When you first
came had lots of fun about you. You
know your clothes aren't quite the
thing, and thought your manner was
queer. l want to apologize. You're a
man. and I like you better than any
fellow I've met for long time. And
if there's any trouble-in the future
I'm on your side. You know what I
| mean"
Bishop" was Orde's reply, you're
not near so much of a dandy as you
think you are"

1T became difficult for Orde to un-
derstand the home life Of the
Bishops. Everybody seemed a
victim to the caprice Of the moth
er. who became hysterical at the slight
est provocation and was fond of con-
tracing imaginary ills in order to gain
added attention.
The day after his walk with Gerald
Bishop, Orde and Carroll had arrang-
ed for walk. But Mrs. Bishop met
them at the door and demanded that
her daughter stay at home to attend
to several trivial matters. But the
evening turned out very we'll fortu-
nately. Orde could not have stood
much more. They had the parlor quite
to themselves. Carroll took the cover
from the tall harp, and. leaning her
cheek against it, she played dreamily
for half hour. Her arms were bare.
Her soft bosom pressed against the
broad sounding board. There is about
the tones Of harp well played some
thing luminous. like the rich, warm
sunlight When the girl muted the
strings at last it seemed to Orde as
though all at once the room had per-
ceptibly darkened. He took his leave
finally. his spirit soothed and restored
Tranquility was not for long, how
ever. Orde's visits were naturally as
frequent as possible. To them almost
instantly Mrs. Bishop opposed the
strong and intuitive jealousy of ego
tism. She had as yet no fears as to
the young mans intentions. but in
stinctively she felt an influence that
opposed her own supreme dominance.
The week passed. Orde saw as much
as he could of Miss Bishop. Gerald
himself seemed to be much occupied.
Precisely at II every morning. how

Wife Calls Hyams Drunk-Em-

Work with 2 Weeks Off

Harry D. Hyams tailor, yesterday
was given a divorce from Sarah c.
Hyams, who sued him on the ground
that he was habitually intoxicated,
which caused her such acute mental
anguish that he was guilty of ex-
treme cruelty to her.
Hyams in a cross s-complaint asserted
that by accusing him as she had his
wife had been guilty of extreme cruel
ty to him, and Judge Hutton of the
superior court, before whom the case
was heard, decided that the husband
was right.
George Goldsmith, husband to Lii
liam Burkhardt, the actress, who is an
employing tailor, declared that In the
eight years Hyams had worked for
him he had never seen him intoxicated.
He also said the husband is remark
ably steady man, and in the eight
years mentioned has laid off only for
two weeks. Part of that lay-off was
for a vacation, and another part was
he was married two and a half years
ago. The employer further declared
that Hyams earned only $1S.75 a week.
Judge Hutton said that Mrs. Hyams
had accused her husband of being a
common drunk" and said that any
husband with a wife who would make
such an accusation. considering that
the man had worked eight years with
only two weeks lay-off, deserved the
divorce. And he got 1t.

Talamantes has been a detective for
many years. but he was recently re-

WOMAN CLAIMS DETENTION
IN JAIL ENDAN GERS LIFE
Mrs. Gertrude A. briggs Asks
Admission to Bail

Alleging that her heart beats 12(
times to the minute and that the or
gan is enlarged to twice its natural
size, Mrs Gertrude A. briggs yester-
day, through her attorney Col. Tom
Johnson, made an appeal to Judge
Willis of the criminal department OF
the superior court for admission to
bail pending the result of her appeal
to the district court of appeal from a
decision in the superior court by Which
she is required to serve five years in
the state penitentiary
Recently Mrs. briggs asked for bail,
pending her appeal, on the ground
that both her mental and physical
health were impaired as the result of
where a great deal of repairing was
being done. Judge Davis denied her
request.
Now it is asserted that she is not
only undergoing impairment of health,
but that her very life is endangered
by detention, her heart being badly
affected and her general condition
such that though she is only 60 years
old, she looks as if beyond the stage
of three score years and ten.
Mrs. briggs has been in the su-
perior court for many months, being
accused Of forging the name of John
J. Charnock, a wealthy rancher OF
Palms, to a lease of 1877 acres, with

Gil protests against declaring Jefferson
street a boulevard and asks that the
council advertise for sale the fran
chise desired by the Los Angeles rail-
way.
Jefferson street was intended to be
q part of the cross-town car line, for
which the Los Angeles railway had
asked a franchise, but several prop
erty owners petitioned the council to
make Jefferson a boulevard and pre-
vent the car tracks. The petition filed
yesterday has a larger number of sig
natures than the one asking. for the
boulevard.
