much sooner, ana tne mary Ann OF
Jim amt never been heard of since
she left that South America place to
go round the Horn on her way to
China"
The bright eyes of Betty Green
were wet with tears as she opened
the oven door to raise the pie to
higher shelf. Ever since Jim Busby
failed to return in time for the we'd
ding which Betty had so carefully
prepared for four years ago-a we'd
ding which was to be the big event
of the Christmas season at South
Cove-she had had a lonesome life.
Two months after the Christmas
that was to have been Betty's we'd
ding day her aged father had been
carried to the village cemetery, leav-
ing her alone in the world. With no
other relatives, and with no friends
except those at South Cove Betty re-
NAMED in the little fishing town in
which she had been born nearly twen-
ty-seven years ago.
With the baking finished, Betty left
the kitchen and went into her bed
room. She wanted nothing so much
as to be alone in that room that had
been her father's-in that room where
she kept carefully preserved the we'd
ding clothes she had lavished so much
care upon four years ago. These
clothes and the faded photograph of
Jim Busby on her bureau were all
that were left her of her romance.
With these she would spend her
Christmas eve, would live over again
the counting days. And Jim should be
there with her. That would be heI
Christmas.
With care she took each garment
from it's wrappings in the bureau
drawer and spread them on the bed.
The pretty wedding dress which
Sarah Glover had helped her make
yes, she would put it on tonight just
as she had planned to four years ago.
Jim would like her to do that; he had
always liked to see her prettily
dressed, and maybe Jim might see
her from the spirit world tonight.
AS she fastened the gown she al
most forgot that Jim could not b,

he did not wait. She heard the dool
swing, a heavy step on the floor, and
voice-oh! such familiar voice
calling Betty.
Jim! My Jim!" she answered, al
she pulled open the door of her bed
room and sprang into the arms of {
strong, bronzed sailor.
Far into the night she listened t.
Jim's tale of shipwreck on the Pata
gonian coast, of the months and Year,
of practical captivity before he could
get back to seaport.
"And now" he said, Il am home tc
claim my Christmas bride"
"And / have our Christmas baking
DONE" said Betty.

We never could understand why a
female person had any more right to
go out on the street and break win
dows and otherwise violate the laws,
just because she claimed to be a
suffragette militant, than should be
accorded to a male person who
claimed to be an ordinary bum. Nor
do we think the punishment therefor
should be. any less severe for the
petticoat wearer.

Betty Green sighed as she placed
the pie in the oven, and pulled a
kitchen chair up beside the stove.

Gently moved into the town, and who
knew nothing of Betty's history, had

everywhere she had thought of

for the day.
Now, If Jim hadn't never sailed
away on that water-logged old Mary
Ann, as he did a-going on four year
ago, guess l could been preparing
for Christmas like other folks. If
there hadn't been nobody else, Jim
and me could of enjoyed Christmas,
and then maybe there'd been some
body else-somebody what just about
now would been liking dolls or tin
cars, and if so Jim and me would
been having a Christmas tree for that

JOHN HIGGINS
ANSWERS CALL
Well Known Fruitvale Ranchman
Succumbs to Sudden Attack of
Coughing.-Wife is Prostrat-
ed With Grief.

John Higgins, one of the best
known and highly respected citizens
of the Fruitvale district, passed
away at $40 last evening at his
home following a severe coughing at
tack. tuberculosis is said to have
been the original cause.
The sudden demise of the well
known Tanchman, has prostrated his
wife and cast a cloud of gloom
throughout the neighborhood, where
he was so well known.
Mr. Higgins came to the Grand
valley from Georgetown eight years
ago and has been a successful or
chardist He contracted miners con-
sumption while working in the
Georgetown section, but has enjoyed
reasonably good health since his loca-
ton in this region. Tuesday he
worked unusually hard and found
that he was somewhat weakened yes
terday. He felt rather badly during
the forenoon, and about 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon was seized with a fit
of coughing. Medical assistance was
summoned, but it was found that
death was only a matter of a short
time as he was past human aid.
Death came. at $50.
lhe tunefal arrangements are not
complete, but will probably be held
Saturday afternoon from the home
with Rev. d. Luther Edwards in
charge
Relatives of Mrs. Higgins in
Georgetown have been communicated
with. Mrs. Higgins has relatives in
Canada, but they viii probably not
be able to attend the funeral
Besides the bereaved wife Mr. Hig-
gins left one son, / 3 years of age.

DUCRAy WINS
FROM c. OLSEN
Fans Disappointed at Decisions Al
though Duke Was Most Aggress-
ive.-Should Meet in Return
Bout Soon. Is the Opinion.

Frank Du Cray won in straight
falls from Charles Olson last night
at the Majestic in a total time of is
minutes. The decisions were highly
unsatisfactory to a majority of the
fans, many of whom were strong
supporters of Du Cray. There was no
question but that the shoulders of
the Indianapolis man touched the
mat together in both falls, but it was
merely a question as to whether
Duke held them there long enough
that caused the dissatisfaction.
Nobody seems to know what the
hold was with which the local man
secured his first fall. Olson had
looped his arms around Dukes neck
in his characteristic manner. and as
they went to the floor seemed about
TO get the local man. AS they rolled
about with Du Cray trying to re-
lease himself Olson's shoulders went
down and before the crowd quite un-
derstood the progress of events. Ref
cree Jones had tapped Dukes back,
The last fall which lasted l / min
utes was like unto the first. This
time, however. Du Cray was on the
aggressive and had chancery and
leg hold on Olson. trom where the
writer sat it was impossible to see
the shoulders, but certain it is that
Olson recovered very quickly from
his position, only to find that he had
again lost his fall. This decision
created much less dissatisfaction than
the first.
Through all the harsh feeling over
the match, there have been no re-
sponsible people questioning the hon
esty of the decision nor the inten-
tion of the official TO do his best. 1t
was simply a division of opinion as
to whether the decisions were made
on real pin falls
1t seems that for the good of the
sport the men ought to wrestle again
here. Olson probably cannot make
| any big side bets now for he admit
ted last night that the loss of the
$3.50 side bet was a strain on his re-
sources.
Du Cray, on the otner hand is
| $500 ahead and can afford to go on
with Olson for the gate receipts. 1t
would be the part of generous VIC
tor and would add immensely to the
| popularity of Du Cray with local
| fans. The big house which greeted
the match last night would certainly
be repeated If the go was put on
| again
1t is doubtful If ten peope be-
lfaye that Olson can beat Du Cray
today; but all the same there are
800 who would be willing to see for
themselves.
Possibly return match can be
arranged. Ii WILDE unfortunate If
such is not done but it means the
death kneil of the game in Grand
Junction If the minds of the sports
are not freed from the suspicion cast
by the result of the match last
night.
