souls
Great heavens,' exclaimed Miss
Dumbleton only fifteen hours left,
and this stupid man will either force
me to marry one don't wish and
whom lie doesn't wish me to marry or
he will send me to jail"
Miss Dumbleton was in despair.
Could Mr.. Whitmarsh have changed
his mind? We're she assured of this.
though to marry another would be TO
blight her life, she could bring herself
to do so. But to give up man she
loved and whom she could not con-
vince that she loved was maddening.
She execrated the law that had forced
her into such position. After wildly
debating what she should do next she
sent Mr.. Whitmarsh the following mes
sage: Have you not heard that there
are times when woman says No
meaning 'Yesg'"
The reply that came back to this
was, Does n woman who says Yes
mean 'No?'"
Miss Dumbeton stamped her foot;
she moaned; she did everything except
tear her hair. That she would have
done had it not been her browning
beauty Then when she had recovered
bit of calmness she determined to
make one more appeal She wrote:
",rhe law compels me to accept by
tomorrow one of number of offers
have received"
To this the reply came; You fill me
with grief How happy would I be to
save you If only you loved me. But a
marriage of cenvenience-impos
To marry one | devotedly love merely
To convey upon her favor would pro-
fame my most sacred feelings
When Miss Dumbleton received this
message a suspicion came To her that
Mr. Whitmarsh was not such fool
after all Indeed il occurred to her
that he was playing with her. Was 1t
in revenge for the treatment he had
himself received ut her hands. or did
he propose TO punish her for what she
had inflicted on his sex? At any rate.

This feeling, however, Is not shared
by the union men on the Pennsylvania

that the situation is hopeless because

HOLDS UP NEW DEPOT.
Supreme Court Grants New Trial Of
Condemnation Case.


A decision which will probably de-
lay for months the erection of the
Michigan CentraIs $4,000 depot and
put the roGd to all kinds of annoyance
and expense was handed down by the
supreme court Thursday, when a new
trial was ordered In the case of Eliza
beth Ferguson against the Michigan
Central
Mrs. Ferguson owned four lots In
the district required by the company
for the erection of the depot. On
these lots were cheap, frame houses,
the whole being worth, II was test!-
fed, about $4,000. When the company
approached Mrs. Ferguson regarding
the purchase of her property they
found she had sold ii 20 BuSr c. Lob
dell for $4,000. He turned 1t over to
Albert Miller, of Birmingham, for $685.
600, so II was testified. and Miller and
Lobdell organized a company for the
manufacture of auto parts. The land
In question was turned into the COM
pany at a valuation of $4,000. When
the company tried to purchase the land
it was offered to them at that figure.
They brought condemnation proceed
ings, and jury in Judge Murhn's
court valued the property at $S,001.
A new trial was asked for several
months ago. but Judge Muffin denied
the petition, stating at that time that
the scheme had been Matched solely
for the purpose of holding up tie rail-
way for biz sum,
The latest decision will undoubtedly
cause a delay nthe work. The steam
shovels have worked all about the lots
in dispute, and the houses on the
property are standing on land from
20 TO 30 feet higher than the sur
round district, making II necessary
for the occupants to use ladders to
reach their homes.

~ RAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 8.
- William J. Bryan will new
err be a candidate for presi-
dent again, according to state
ment made by John w. Kern, his
late running mate, at the annual
jackson day banquet, tonight at the
Young Mems Michigan Democratic
club. Playing the Taft administra-
tion, Kern declared that the heads
of trusts are in control of white
house policies.
"Your candidate of two years
ago. said Kern, will not be can
'didate two years hence. 1t may be
a century before another man of his
caIiber is found to again carry the
banner of your party"
Kern asserted that special favor
itism, paramount evil of the ante
bellum days, is again responsible
for the present evils that harry the
administration. He declared the
democratic party would not suffer
the insult of having it's next cam
paign leaders affiliated with the
trust heads who now control the
destinies of the Taft regime and
charged that the Taft ship of state
is guided by "rich criminal organ
ization known as the trusts
The trust evils will never be
remedied," he continued, until the
rich criminal is placed on the same
plane as the poor criminal, or the
standard Oil criminal with the poor
man who steals ham for his starv-
ing family or until the party leaders
in Washington are compelled to re-
gard their party pledges as sacred
an honor as their oaths. The trust
evil must be endured until the
strength of brave and united peo.
Pile obliterate it.

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. g.
Police investigation up to late to-
night had not established the iden-
tity of the pretty young girl, 20
years of age, who, while dressed in
mems clothing, was either murdered
and thrown on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad tracks or was killed
by a train while bumming a ride.
Tire police have so far failed to find
the man who was seen with her Just
before the accident, although they
have searched the territory sur
rounding.
Chief of Police Polly of Benwood
and Coroner McCombs of Marshall
county emphatical!y deny that the
dead woman is Roberta De Janon.
They have her photograph, and,
comparing it with the dead woman,
they find absolutely no ,resem-
blance. Besides they say they are
con,ident the dead woman is a
Syrian, and her hands indicate that
she has been hard worker all her
life. Stories sent out from here
that the dead woman was probably
Roberta De Janon, the Philadelphia
heiress, had no foundation in fact
So far the police have not been
able to learn anything that would
throw any light on the mystery, and
the identity of the dead woman
may never be disclosed If her male
companion is not found.
One theory is that the dead wOm
an may have been shopllfter. and
that the extra clothes she wore, in
cluding five union suits of under.
