Lucia was as good as her word. She
did not realize that the removal OF
social restrictions, the absence of
matrimonial letters, were elements in
the vast courage and ambition that
began to come into her life In prac-
tical way.
Years previous Mr.. Forsythe had
given his widowed sister small home
at Wareham and had secured per-
manent pension TO her. This was now
their refuge. Lucia found IL to be a
very humble home, indeed. but COM
Portable, clearly kept, and, what made
up for all other deficiencies they were
welcomed with true, heartsome love.
Lucia had arranged in the city to do
some illustrating for two publications.
A music house, too, had agreed to
pay her something for arranging
songs, SO she began her new life with
quite an encouraging income. Her
work did not take up all her time, and
she became immensely interested in

FOUND HER IDEAL
Loss of Fortune and Social
Standing Brought Love and
Happiness.
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

Daniel Forsythe considered himself
one of the most fortunate men In the
world when he became a partner with
Roger Bell. He was getting old, his
new business cares would be light,
and Bell was money maker, Besides
that, young Denzil Bell and Lucia
Forsythe were engaged.
Ii was true that young Bell was by
no means the man the old business
veteran would generally have select
ed for a son-in-law. The scion of the
Bells was idle, without ambition,
tickle and 4 spendthrift. AS to Lucia,
t, she had failed TO find one ideal among
the fashionable young men with whom
she was brought In contact in the So
cial swim. She had arrived at a mar
riageable age, however, and the princi-
pal anxiety of her father was to see
her settle down." as he expressed It.
She sighed a trifie, and then in her
great love for her father she decided
to make a sacrifice Of herself
Then, rudely, Unexpectedly, came
the darkest day in the life of old Dan
Eel Forsythe. With a crash the great
house Of Bell. Forsythe & Co. went
down in ruin. All of the Forsythe for
tune was involved. The Bells, how
ever, were notorious for having ever
IAN anchor TO windward." When the
creditors were settled with the Bells
flew rs high as ever. Mrs. Bell had a
fortune OF her own, and on that the
family could drift along very pleas
antly. The first thing shallow, mean
spirited Denzil Bell did was TO break
the engagement with Lucia. She had
expected It, and was devoutly glad
that ii had come about
I'VE are paupers!" mourned her
father. And now the engagement is
broken. 1t brushes me to think OF
you, Lucia. l had so counted on your
trip abroad to finish up your art and
music. Now"

most joyously, Il am free TO have my
own way, TO really live, TO be of some

A Hobby Party.

We all have hobbies whether we
ride the horse" hard or not, there Is
always just some one thing we like to
do or TO have better than anything
else; so to enliven a church social the
entertainment committee asked each
guest to wear an article to represent
his or her favorite fad. There was the
boy who had the stamp collecting
fever at its height, he appeared with q
stamp for a scarf pin, another glued
on to q huge ring as a setting, four or
FIVE glued to his coat lapel in lieu OF
a bouquet. The silk quilt worker had
her frock plentifully patched with silk
squares OF the patterns she was max
ing or desired TO make and the would
be artist had water color and pen and
ink sketches on her dress with a
peaked hat made of water color paper
which had marine scenes upon it.
The airship fiend had a miniature
flying machine found at the toy coun-
teri worn around his neck and the
golf suit. The sailor boy was in white
duck with a MILDLY" cap and the
yOunS HISS WIZ WIS itdTuluS W COoh
carried ring and chain from which
dangled, spoons, egg beater, -four sift-
er. etc. II Is needless to say that this
was the merriest kind Of party, far
different from the average church So
cial. There was no lack OF animated
conversation and to make things more
interesting when all sat down to TO
freshments, which were served at
small tables. each one was asked to
tell in two minutes the merits OF lis
especial hobby.
This meeting turned out to be quite
an exchange not only of ideas, but OF
materials, for every one found out
what the other fellow was interested
in and come saved stamps and others
silk pieces and others gave cherished
recipes and all found even those whom
they thought dull and stupid were
most interesting when led TO talk upon
what was uppermost to them.

NOT SEEING DOUBLE.
A Kansas Miller Denies the Coburn
Sarcasm.

A miller of Little River writes as
follows regarding Secretary Coburn' S
Wichita speech on the crop killers:
Editor State Journal:
In Thursdays issue of your paper
you quote in part a speech delivered
to the millers and grain men at
Wichita by Secretary Coburn, in
which he brands the wheat crop re-
porters over the state as volunteer
purveyors of pessimism, roorbacks,
scandal-mongers, etc.
The writer of these lines has lived
in Kansas for more than fifty years.
and. as a natural consequence has had
the opportunity to observe conditions
as they have presented themselves
through those years.
Mr.. Coburn chooses as his audience
at this time the millerS and grain
men, to abuse Kansas crop reporters,
realizing as he does, that his influence
conveyed by such public utterance,
makes him a prime favorite at such
a meeting. His words in exaggerating
the present wheat crop in Kansas are
sweet music to the ear of every miller.
And who knows this better than Mr..
Coburn?
The miller buys a large per cent of
his wheat during the first sixty days
after harvest, and if he could enlist
in his behalf a boomer of Mr.. Coburn's
prominence in every wheat producing
state to make such a speech as he
was pleased to listen to at Wichita,
he could buy the major portion of his
wheat at such q price as to make his
business very profitable indeed.
In Wichita's territory west there are
more than score Of Kansas counties
that wills not produce sufficient wheat
to meet the actual requirements of
it's producers. and, tell ME MIR. Editor
would it not look better for Mr.. Coburn,
reclining as he is on a comfortable
salary. paid by these same people,
were he to report conditions as they
are and thereby help them to get as
much as they should for their very
meager output? Far better, in the
opinion of the writer, than to be ban
quoting himself with the millers and
grain men at Wichita and calling the
western and central Kansas crop re-
porter that expresses himself as of the
opinion that his wheat will make less
than five bushels tothe acre, a scandal
He says they are volunteer purvey-
ors of pessimisrn. Be that as it may,
Mr.. Coburn is not a volunteer. He is
well paid for his time by the state and
If he could draw from the millers of
Kansas a very small per cent of what
he turns over to them from the pro-
ducers by his abusive booming, he
would very soon be a millionaire.
Kansas needs no booms, boomers or
booming.
Here's to the Kansan who believes
in Kansas, and tells the truth.

RETURN FUGITIVE PRISONER.
Leavenworth Train Robber Found in
Illinois Prison.

Kansas City, June 1S.-William La
Trasse, convicted in September, 1911,
of robbing Missouri Pacific passenger
train between Leavenworth and Kan
sas City and who escaped from the
Kansas City. Kan, Jail while await
ing sentence, has been returned to
Kansas City from Chester, I'LL. where
he was serving a sentence for burglary.
After LaTrasse escaped from the local
Jail he went to Murphysboro, ILL.,,
where he was arrested and sentenced
to an indeterminate term of from one
to twenty years for burglary. While
in the southern Illinois penitentiary at
Chester he was recognized and re-
turned to Kansas.
The robbery of the Missouri Pacific
passenger train on Christmas night,
1910, was one of the most daring rob-
berries of late years. Singlehanded,
with a blue handkerchief across his
face. LaTrasse went through the train,
forcing the passengers to disgorge their
valuables. One man who refused to
obey the commands was shot and
slightly wounded. The robber es-|

READY TO MARRY GIRL.
Defendant in Heart Balm Suit Would
Take Her Now.

Atchison, Kan. June Isl am still
ready and willing to marry Mary
FaIk,' was the statement of William
Burke the defendant in the $4,000
breach of promise suit now on trial in
the district court. AS in many cases the
real reason why William Burke didn't
show up at the marriage altar on the
morning of September IS, 1912, to
take Mary Falk as his bride, may not
be brought out. Miss Falk, the plain
tiff was the first witness. Her evil
dence on direct and cross-examina--
ton was that the defendant, William
Burke, made no effort to overcome the
demand of the Catholic church as pre-
sented by Father Raphael, that he Sc
cure an affidavit from his mother
that he had been baptised in the
church as his mother lived within a
mile or two of the church, and knew
nothing of the demand of Father
Raphael. Her brother called a broth
er of the defendant by phone the eve
ming of September "a, which was the
evening before the morning the we'd
ding was to take place. and asked him
if William Burke would be on hand
the next morning to attend his own
wedding. and the brother replied he
did not know.
. She did not go to the church on the
morning of September 25, because the
defendant did not go to her home to
accompany her. After his failure to
appear for marriage, a certificate,
showing that the defendant had been
baptized in the church was procured;
the plaintiff saw such a certificate and
thinks it was in the possession of
Father Raphael.
