The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-07-07

/ my life about my twentieth year
man who came nearer to mastering
me than anyone had ever met, and
on this man l exercised, successfully,
every vile In my power.
For year played with him, de-
voting to him all of my time and at
tention and devotion-apparently. He
grew mad as the days went by-mad
with the terrible passion Of a strong
mans love.
AS a cat toys with a helpless mouse,
I reveled in his torture in his ecstatic
pain; f1nally-I sent him away.
Another man crossed my path, and
! was weary of the one game. He was
not easy to send, this man who cared
so frightfully-I think | shall never
! forget his face when | said the words.
! ! have seen a great many mangled
/ hearts, torn by this white hand they
are SO eager to seize; but this mans
very soul lay crushed-and In his eyes
was hell of despair-but he never
said a word.
Fifteen years had nearly elapsed,
ant he had become little more than
memory when, in the hotel dining
room, two weeks ago, saw him.
Something, | can't say what, made
me raise my eyes, and gazed full into
his eyes gazing back at me. They
| ~ IN
them-a dead thing, the soul l had
killed, and look that seemed to say
aloud, Repay repay"
He did not look my way again; |
can't imagine why, for the beauty of
twenty has increased sevenfold, and |
was sheathed in clinging, filmy gray,
with red rose in my breast.
AS he finished he rose very slowly,
and deliberately crossed to my table.
How do you do?" he said simply
his lips smiling, but his eyes tragedy
filed as before.
This is surprise, indeed" / told
him with as easy manner as | could
command. I had met, in later years,
many of the men whose hearts | had
played with, some sunk into the mire
some broken, some reckless cynics,
but none had looked as this man
looked, or held in their eyes that dead
thing-Oh, God, can see 1t now!
His next words filled me with
amaze, that yet was not rid of a haunt
ing fear, as he said lightly:
I'm so glad to find you here;
feared it might be dull; but you will
take pity on lonely man and let me
renew our acquaintance bit, will you
not"
Something said "Yes"-it wasn't
me; and something whispered, too,
that flight would be unavailing-that
this mans hour had struck-that he
was master now.
The days that followed-they were I
like no other days | had ever spent. |
He was my constant companion; we
rode and drove, attended the opera
and theater, lunched and dined, and al
ways he was courteous, attentive, kind
always he was the master.
oh, of course, he never proved his
dominance; but often in this life IN
spoken words are more potent than
those uttered, and unused mastery
more powerfully felt than that OF out
ward sign. Z
One night a week ago we took a
walk, and here must say that a
strange thing had come into my life

CLUB DANCE WAS SUCCESS
One of Winters Most Enjoyable 3d.
cial Affairs Staged by Members of
Bemidji Athletic Association
HALL ELABORATELY DECORATED

One Of the largest, most enjoyable
and successful social affairs ever
staged in Bemidji was the result of
last evenings dance given by the Be-
midi Athletic club last evening.
More than one hundred couples
were in attendance, the dancers COM
pletely filling the large floor. It
is doubtful if a prettier dance has
ever been held here. Under the
supervision of Ralph B. Lycan, as
sisted by Harley Hanson, the hall
had been attractively decorated for
the occasion. Strips of white and
red crepe paper hung in festoons the
entire length of the large dance hall,
and the colors of the club were artis-
tically displayed in covering the wall
of the handball court.
Remfrey's orchestra of six pieces
furnished the music for the dance.
From a financial standpoint the af-
fair was a success the treasury Of
the Athletic club being enriched
about $50.
The frappe bowl was presided over
by Misses Moritz and Emma Klien

Killing FOUND TO Be INSANE
Nebish Half Breed Committed to
Fergus Falls by Judge Clark
Caused Residents Much Trouble
HAS LONG CR1M1NAI RECORD

William King, half breed, who
for some time has made$his living by
doing odd jobs at Nebish, was
brought to Bemidji this morning on
a warrant sworn out by E. M
Tschoepe, by Constable III. F. Lamb,
charged with various offenses.
For some time Kings conduct has
led the residents of Nebish to regard
his as insane. When brought to
Bemidji this morning he was i'm
mediately taken before Judge Clark,
who decided that the proper place for
him was in the insane asylum at Fer
gus Falls.
On repeated occasions, according
to the testimony introduced at the
hearing before Judge Clark, King
has insulted woman, and his general
conduct has led children of Nebisha to
regard him only with fear. The
climax came yesterday when he en-
tered the store of Mr.. Tschoepe,
where the latter's wife was attending
to the postoffice, and complained of
mistake in his change. He be-
came insulting and as a consequence
was thrown from the building. The
warrant and commitment followed.
Killing has always been known as
more or less of trouble maker, and
the instance will be remembered
when he was arrested and charged
with having set a trap-gun. The
death instrument was discovered BY
il. J. 0psahl, who was cruising.
Opsahl noticed wires on the ground
and following them discovered the
loaded gun. He has served sew
eral other short terms for various
crimes.
Records in the office of Sheriff
Johnson show that Killing was arrest
ed on October 81, 1911, and that he
was convicted and served a As day
term for setting the trap-gun.

fate only because his hand fortunate
