MARY GARDEN TO WED SOON

Paris.-Mary Garden-fondly called
by Chicagoans "our Mary Garden

band. There is consolation for the
Chicagoan, however. Although the
prima donna fiirted with Frenchmen,
kept London stage "johnniea" on tho

Figuratively, princes have chung to
Mary Gardens skirts. Scions Of roy
atty have worshlped her. Despite
this she says:
Soon you will hear no more Of
Mary Garden. 1t will be Mrs. Some

ton to sing La Tosca' After that l
shall join Mr. DIPPED in the Chicago
Philadelphia company.
"And do not intend to become AN
old woman of the opera l haven't
seen the man, but he will turn up"
Somewhat irrelevantly she contin-
ued: "The future of great singers OF
America somehow will come from
the west.
Referring to the graft charges
against the New York police, Miss
Garden exclaimed:
"And to think those men, who were
so pure and good, and were so shocked
by my Salome, should be in such a
fix! But, anyhow, l always consid-
cred 1t a good joke to set policemen
up to pass on the morality Of art"

echoed family across the water.
The girl hid her face in the sand,
with a half-stified sob, but the Ser
geant watched grimly, his eyes barely
above the ridge. What would they do
when they discovered the dead bodies?
they realized that others had
eluded their vigilance during the
night? Would they be able to trace
them, or would his ruse succeed? OF
course their savage cunning would
track them as far as the river-there
was no way in which he could have
successfully concealed the trail made
down the gully, or the marks left on
the sandy bank. But would they imag-
inc he had dared to cross the broad
stream, burdened with the girl, con-
fronting almost certain death in the
quicksand? Would they not believe
rather that he had waded along the
waters edge headed west, hoping thus
to escape to the bluffs, where some
hiding place might be found? Even If
they suspected crossing, would any
warriors among them be reckless
enough to follow? Would they not be
more apt to believe that both fugitives
had been sucked down into the treach'
erous stream? Almost breathless Ham

through his mind, realizing the dead

essayed the passage. Behind them
was sand, ridge after ridge, as far as
the eye could discern. and every step
they took in flight would leave its
plain trail. And now the test was al
hand.

them jerk open the door, and drag

ANOTHER BooTLEeeER.

John Scruggs, cOlored, held ses-
sion with the county attorney one
day last week at the invitation of
Marshal Wemmergnen, to answer to
a charge of selling whiskey, and de-
cided to plead guilty and was given
a 30 day Jail sentence and a 800
fine as a little Christmas reminder
that the path of the bootlegger is
not altogether one of roses in Kan
sas. Scruggs has been under suspi-
ciOn for some time and has been
given numerous hints by the officers
that it would be wiser to leave town,
a view Of the matter which he will
probably think wise when he gets
another chance. His plea was that
he was trying to earn money enough
to buy a pair of shoes, and while the
new shoes were probably needed the
court thought that another mode Of
wage earning would probably add
more to the peace and dignity OF
the community.
