All of US have seen the familiar
phenomenon of a woman who will
have Mysteries of fright over a mouse,
yet look q lion in the eye without the
CULVER of an eyelid. Well, things like
that are always happening with wo-
men, and it's what makes marriage
such a lottery. A man never knows
what sort Of qualities his wife has got
secreted about her person.
For instance, l had a friend who
was married to regular Fluffy Ruff
lies sort of a woman, the kind of wo-
man you know. whose brains seem to
be cut on the bias and frilled in the
middle, and who are simply mad about
clothes and society. BY Jove 1 used to
look at that woman and think that
she was nothing on earth but French

He's often told me that he went

Mecho's Dream
By Sseptozer Tchnryvitz.

M EHo. the lamp lighter is about t.
NE marry Fatca, the daughter OF
Hassan-Aga. and tomorrow she
is to follow him under his roof. Meho
is as happy as a song bird in spring.
He runs from one place to the other,
shouts, sings, dances.
When evening comes he is tired out.
At last he retires to his little cham
Der. and throws himself on his bed.
IF 1 could only sleep" he signs.
I'VE will love one another forever.
Finally his head drops down upon
his chest, his eyes closes, and he falls
asleep.
Then comes bro Cafedji His big
green eyes are rolling and threaten to
fall from their sockets, his sallow face
has grown purple like an egg plant
and he is painting with excitement.
'Meho," he gasps, opening his ugly
mouth until it seems to reach his ears,
they are kidnapping Fatca-"
How? Where? Who is it?" cries
Meho. sitting up in bed.
House Balta has just run Off with
Fatca."
Meho hears nothing more It is as
if a mallet had crushed in his head.
He picks up the big knife he has in
herited/ from his father and which is
always hanging on the wall.
He shall not carry her off, as long
as there is a breath of life left IN my
body. 1 will teach that giaeur how we
treat men who carry off women. I
will chop off his head as If he were a
rooster"
He puts on his wide trousers, rolls
up his sleeves, put his knife between
his teeth and rushes out of the house
like mailman.
Come out, you Vlah," he roars as
he reaches 11ousso's house and shakes
his fist at the windows. He hears
somebody coughing inside, the sound
of an oath, the shutters creak and a
window is opened.
He is no Vlah." says Fatca, whose
pretty head appears in the opening.
TT is you who are a Vlah, and worse
than Vlah. love him and have never
loved you"
Meho's heart feels as if it was going
to break.
$50 you have just been playing with
me- you hussy," he shouts.
Fatca does not answer. She splits at
him and gives way to an evil looking
face with yellow bristling mustaches
which now appears at the window.
What do you want here?" roars
HOusso and brandishes a big pistol.
"She belongs to me, and If she has
been playing with yous it is because
she thought it funny to do so. Not
another word or 1 will send bullet
through your empty head
Meho stares at him.
Shoot me-" he cries, and bares his
chest. You have taken Fatca from
me and I do not care to live any
longer. Shoot, 1 say"
The other rolls his eyes and takes
aim.
80 I am really going to die?" Meho
thinks. His knees shake, his face

Midnight Raid on Main Street
Joint

Night Patrolman J. E. Wimsett
arrested Evelyn Crowder, negro
woman between IL and o'clock
Tuesday night her place of business
on East Main street, the second
house west of Malcolm street, on
the charge of selling intoxicating
liquors. He brought her and her
wares consisting of twelve pints of
whiskey to the city hall where JUS
tice of Peace Groome and County
Attorney Smith were called to con-
duct the case against her. Wimsett
had his suspicious aroused concern
ing the Crowder building by seeing
two strangers enter it at a late hour
of the night. He took whiskey
from the persons of the two men
at the time that he arrested the
Crowder woman. Frank Burlington,
negro who was asleep or feigning
sleep when the arrest was made,
escaped when he found the house
was being invaded by an officer of
the law.
Before Judge Groome Evelyn
Crowder entered a plea of not guilty
to the complaint though admitting
that she knew the liquor was in the
house. She assigned its ownership
to Burlington. A warrant has been
placed'in the hands of the officers
for his arrest. The woman was
placed in the city Jail and her case
set for trial for 9 o'clock Wednes-
day morning November IS by which
time it is hoped Burlington may be
apprehended.
The two strangers made state
ments to the county attorney to the
effect that they had bought liquor
from both of the defendants.
While the officers were questioning
the woman, Mrs. Fanny Tally, who
is not unknown in Chanute police
court, bounded into the city hall
and demanded an explanation of
affairs. The building where the
arrest was made is just across the
street from Mrs. Tally's restaurant.
The officers insisted that Fanny
keep out of the case until she was
called upon. Not only in proximity

The house was beautifully decorated

A large and enthusiastic crowd OF
friends went to the station with the
bride and groom who left on the
night train for Kansas City. College
and fraternity cheers were given for
the benefit of the bridal pair. Mr..
and Mrs. Allen will visit in Kansas
City a week or ten days and possibly
extend their trip to eastern points.
Upon their return they will make
their home in the eight hundred
block on South Highland.
