and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARsIDE

YsANDER JOHN APPLETON had
been detained at home by sick
- ness just long enough to exhaust
all the reading matter around a house
that interests man. And, believe
me, that is not much.
He had read his papers through
and through, and tried to read the
browning that lies carelessly around
on the parlor table of every literary
ambition bitten woman's home, Then.
in desperation. he picked up his wife's
favorite magazine. and bumped down
into comfortable position in his
chair.
"Susely." he thought, Il VIII find
something here to interest me"
The first picture showed two girls;
one had her back partly turned and
wore a grieved expression. The other
was smiling, and Whispering some
thing in her ear. Both were So
pretty Lysander John enjoyed a mo-
ment's anticipation of the love story
ne felt sure would follow
This is what he read under the pic
ture of the girl with a grieved ex-
preston: "A sgood tub dress. May
be made at a cost of SIT If cotton
voile is used"
Lysander John rubbed his eyes and
stared. He thought il strange there
should be such story about such a
pretty girl with a grieved expression.
He didn't understand it. Perhaps
there was plot that he would learn
more about later. He read on. I'm

daughter read this magazine by the
hour. Surely some Of the stories in
&c had more action. more plot. more
interest. He didn't understand what
the whispering girl had TO do with
a bar. He didn't like the thought.
Never heard of the Messaline." he
reflected. Must be some Italian
band"
With a sigh. he turned page, and
there saw a picture of a woman with
four little children. One was throw
ing ball into the air; another stood
with both arms around a big grey
hounds neck; another had both arms
around the woman's neck, and the
fourth she held in. her lap.

something he could understand, and
once more settled comfortably in his
chair. He read:

creations"
Then he lost all self-control, and

in her path

NO
He is sorry and ashamed"
He should be!'
You love him?" questioned Sarah
Harding. without mercy.
IF didn't wouldn't care.
A note Of forgetting love
struggled into Emily Nelson's care
fully modulated voice. Before any
feeling could trace mark on her
equally carefully powdered face-or
disturb the serenity of her well
groomed prettiness, she was again
the injured wife--the unforgiving
woman to whom selfish personal
pride ranks highest OF all things In
this world. Her costume this morn
ing was faultless. with poise that
matched 1t, she went on:
1T is just that. just because love

years. Sarah--two years
Your fault--all or 1t" exclaimed
Sarah Harding. with grim. uncom-
promising truth.
What did you expectsa man like
him to be doing while you were hirt-
ing with all the men about town

clothes, your home, your position
What did he get for his money! A

Ever since they came to school that
morning two of the boys had been
persistently naughty. At last, there
fore. the teacher. now thoroughly ex-
asperated, turned TO them angrily and
said that they must stay in during
playtime until each had written his
name / 900 times.
Playtime duly came, and as the
rest of the class rose and fastened
from the room to enjoy a spell of
freedom, the two niscreants settled
down TO their irksome imposition
Five minutes later the teacher re-
turned 10 see how they were getting
on. and found a heated argument in
progress.
"corne, come" she asked whats
the matter now2'
whereupon one Of the boys burst
into tears.

IVES OF .DIGGS AND CAMINETTI. IN COURT
HEAR TESTIMONY OF LOLA NORRIS


capade and Harris replied: They
aren't fools to go, but they are fools
to get caught. ...........
''Diggs said his wife would swear
out warrants against Miss Warning
ton charging everything he (Diggs)
was convicted of, if he was convicted
Of anything. He then drew a dia-
gram Of the Reno bungalow and told
me to get the two girls to say they
occupied one room and the men an
other. He added: If 1 get out of
this, I'll marry Miss Warrington or
do anything she wants
Harris said he wanted Miss War
ringtOn to say that she paid for her
own ticket to Reno. l agreed to this
and saw Marsha and told her about
it. She said: 1t is too late l think
more of my father. than do of p

and asked what success 1 had had"

and nothing sensational is expected
from the defense. Attorney Robert

ton of meaning.
He does not propose to attack the
stories of Marsha Warrington and
Lola Norris in any essential particu-
lar, but will endeavor to prove that
there was not the persuasion and in
tent to bring under the Mann white
slavery act an offense that would
have been punishable under it if
committed in Truckee instead of
Reno.
DevIin also expects to show that
the statements made to the two girls
by Diggs about the possibility of ar
rest and exposure were founded on
fact, claiming that I. P. Diggs, father
of the defendant, had informed Sen
atOr A. Caminetti, now U. S. immi-
grafton commissioner, that he pro-
posed to arrest the entire four.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-08-16

San Francisco, July 16.-An addi-
tional dramatic touch was added to
the trial of Diggs and Caminetti,
charged with violating the Mann
white slave act, when Mrs. Maury I.
Diggs, wife of one of the defendants,
entered the courtroom accompanied
by their little girl and seated herself
by Diggs' side, while she placed the
child on his knee.
Lola Norris, the girl Drew Camin-
ETH is accused of taking to Reno for
immoral purposes, was on the wit
ness stand, but though her pretty
face, and that of Marsha Warning
ton, whom Diggs had wrOnged,
awakened admiration in the eyes of
the spectators, both girls seemed
commonplace and just a little tawdy
in comparison with the beauty,
charm and refinement of Mrs. Diggs,
and there was a constant whisper in
the courtroom: why did he leave
her for the other?" ~
Mrs. Drew Caminetti was also
present, sitting with her husbands
mother. She listened to the testi-
mony of the girl who, for a brief
while, held the love of Caminetti, but
only once did she show emotion, and
that was when Lola Norris bowed her
head to hide the hot tears in her eyes
and admitted she still loved Drew
Caminetti.
During Miss Norris testimony, her
father, Edward Norris, and B. l.
Diggs, father of the defendant, sat
facing each other on opposite sides
of the rallied enclosure.
Nell Barton, who, it is alleged, at
tempted, on solicitation of Diggs and
his attorney, to get the girls to per-
jure themselves, was called to the
stand.
Harris teIephoned me-" she said,
"that he wanted me to see two girls.
He refused to mention any names.
