1.-THE Floating Balance"

The story in the prize competition OF
our Magazine next Sunday is another
one of Lloyd Osbourne's, bearing the
title THE Floating Balance" A fine
title, don't you think! And IT fits; though
our Sunday Magazine readers may not
understand just why at first. 1t is tho
floating balance" maintained by a bank.
which in this case was used by one OF
the trusted employees" to conceal his
offerings. He was forced to this iniqui-
tous act by the unusual drains In his
domestic affairs that left him at the
mercy Of a swarm OF creditors, and. Of
course, he expected to make his strike
in stock speculation. He did make his
strike, an enormous one: but-Weli. there
is a "but'-which is where this dfstin-
guished author shows his remarkable
imaginative powers. Many will consider
it the best of the three stories that Mr..
Osbourne has written for the contest
Remember, 1t appears in our next Sun

FROM CONVENT TO STAGE.
Career of Miss Farrell at Novelty This
Week.

From convent to the chorus in the
Isle of Spice" and from there to
part in musical comedy and even
tually doing high class single sing
ing act is the career of Miss frankie
Farrell who sings at the Novelty this
week. She was in Topeka about three
years ago, taking the part of 1.-THE
American Girl in the musical comedy
of the Spring Chicken" Previous to
this she narrowly escaped death in
wreck near Wheeling, W. Va, when
20 people were killed She saws she
has been in vaudeville for only two
years and likes it better than the Ie-
Ultimate, as in the vaudeville she is
much more independent, not bossed
by stage director, and responsible
only to her agent.
II was educated in the convent of
Notre Dame. in my home town of
Montreal, Canada" said Miss Farrell
this afternoon. my voice was given
good training. Madame Eugene Tes-
sier, blind singer, now with a con-
cert company gave me lessons.
- finished at the convent and soon
afterwards attended a vaudeville
theater at home. 1 wanted to go on
the stage and because the manager of
the theater knew our family and be-
cause my voice was fairly good, he
contracted me for season. 1 sang
The Rosary for him to show what I
could do. I hid the contract under
my bed at home and little later
went to New York Here 1 was in the
chorus in the Isle of Spice for
awhile. My folks tried to persuade
me to return home, but 1 wouldn't.
About three years ago / was in
Topeka as The American Girl in the
Spring Chicken but this is the first
time L was ever west in vaudeville.
Yes. like this better than the 1egiti-
mate. A person is so much more in
dependent, not bossed by theatrical
managers and others, only your agent
to answer to.
II was so pleased with Topeka and
its beautiful homes. 1 walked over
the city when 1 arrived Sunday and
think your town is a lovely home
town. Then the Topeka people have
treated me so nicely that L have a
most kindly feeling toward them.
However. it isn't the easiest thing
in the world to do a single act spec
ialty. If the audience do not like your
first song, it is difficult to win their
applause as long as you are in the
city.
"Our life has other drawbacks T
was nearly killed in a train wreck
near Wheeling, w. Va. 1 was with the
Spring Chicken company, then. I was
hurled through the car window and
when 1 came to L was in a hospital
at Wheeling. My face was badly
bruised. Twenty people were killed
and the musical director of our COM
pany was disabled for six months by
the accident"

HE LOST HIS FARM.
Death Claimed Brakeman on Eve of
Return to Kansas.

Los Angeles, April 6.-The Kansas
farm which Claud Strain, a switch
man employed by the Southern Pa
cific railroad at MoJave. had been pur-
chasing with money earned from the
railroad is lost to him. Strain died
at the Crocker street hospital, of in
juries received in the railroad yards
at Mojave.
Strain had already notified the
railroad that he intended to leave its
employ and return to Kansas, and was
to have quit work within month.
For several years it had been Strains
ambition to own a farm near Wichita,
where he had lived. To that end he
and his young wife had saved every
penny they could to buy the land. It
is now nearly paid for and with the
proceeds from the crops Strain in
tended to plant this year, he planned
to pay the rest.
He slipped while at work about a
week ago, and the wheels of a car
passed over his feet. He was hurried
to Los Angeles and placed in the
Crocker street hospital, where the +
Jured members were amputated. He
failed to rally.
