from his early affection by her wiles
and her brilliant social attainments.
II suppose we are not in his class

terly. But she will never make him
happy; all she cares about is the
money"
She did not, nor would not, blame
Wilfrid; it was all that woman's" evil
doings. Yet she tried her best to
think of him as dead to her, and to
face the fact that henceforth she
must piece out her life alone. But
1t was sorry attempt.
Eunice had not been a woman had
she failed to see the drift of Master
Rogers coming and goings. Hers
was too sweet a nature not to feel
honored by what she supposed was
the unselfish admiration of passably
good man. He had apparently sue
ceeded in ingratiating himself with
her stepfather, and his companion
ship proved rather welcome diver
sion in those dark days. But she
knew his love-quest was hopeless, and
discouraged his more marked atten-
tions, for she told herself her heart
was dead.
So when Roger Hews pressed his
suit-he never made love to her as
wifi had done-she was ready with
her answer.
1T cannot be, Mr.. Hews," she said,
as they stood in the dim old parlor.
II esteem and admire you as friend,
butt shall never marry"
Perhaps l have been too hasty,"
said Roger suavely. IN time, pos
sibly, you will like me better. Let
me still be your friend and comrade.
/ will not recur to this without your
permission, but some day l shall ask
you again"
She shook her head in token that
his was forlorn hope, but she was
too kind-hearted to inflict a hurt
where she could avoid it.
."On those conditions, them" she
said, I'VE may still be friends; but /
shall never change my mind"
Cursed upstart!" Hews muttered
when he found himself on the wrong
side of the door. "She loves him
still wish he would get married
himself; then, my lady, perhaps you'd
sing another song!"

she retorted saucily
Wilfrid drew himself up stiffiy, see

contritely:

to his tired spirit infinitely grateful

tremor of hand or dimness of eye
might ruin. Her GOODNESS was disap'

school had she acquired this in

Clearly, he thought, she had not
been wearing her heart away during
his absence. Perhaps there was sue
cessor to her favor, he reflected jeal
ously. He recalled in a flash the
many women who had almost flung
themselves at his head during the

Kansas Law Against Selling
MOrtgaged Property Attacked.
Case Now Under Amusement to
Be Carried Higher.

The constitutionality of the law gov
erning the sale of mortgaged property
was attacked today in a motion filed
by the defendant in the state action
against n. W. Shy. 1t is charged that
Shy sold a steam engine on which
there was mortgage. Now his lawyer
says the law in the case isn't worth the
white paper on which it is printed.
According to the arguments of the
defense, there is a wide difference in
the enacting clause and the body of
the act. The enacting clause prescribes
one manner of crime, while the body
of the bill provides for an entirely diff
ferent offense. Certainly. the defense
alleges, the defendant can not be pun
ished under such measure.
At present there are a number OF per-
sons serving time in the Kansas peni-
Tertiary for selling property on which
there was a mortgage If the position of
Shy and his lawyer is correct. then these
men will go free and Shy himself has
committed no crime. Judge Whitcomb
who heard the motion, has taken the
matter under advisement. The case viii
