He had found a surprising skill for
it; he could play upon her and elicit
just the note he desired. 1t had been

He did not mean to be selfish.
Sometimes at the end of a meal he

For full minute he stood looking
at the place where she had been. Then
he drew a long signing breath.

When he awoke, the late morning
sunshine filled his room. But the eager
expectancy pervading him, as II some
long planned holiday had dawned, was

MR.. LAFEERTY
Has Not Withdrawn from the
Firm of HoImboe & Latter

r. G. Lafferty, of the well known
firm of Holmboe and Lafferty, archl-
tects, who has charge of their New
York Office, is spending several days
at the home Office of that firm here
assisting in getting out plans for sew
eral new. buildings which they have
been engaged to design, including :
splendid Elks' home at Dubuque
Iowa.
owing to this firms largely in
creased field of operation, 1t became
necessary to open New York ofhce
one wear ago in order to handle the
business more expeditiously, which
has been under the successful man
agement of Mr.. Lafferty, who located
there when the Office was opened.
Since locating there he has invent
ed and patented window-cr1b. OF
such merits that he was induced by
the leading hospitals and physicians
of New York City to organize com
pany to manufacture and market ms
invention which may have caused the
runlor to be circulated that he had
severed his connection with the firm
of Holm Doe & Lafferty.
The Telegram is authorized and re-
ouested to state there is absolutely no
truth in the report and that Mr. LAT
ferty is still actively connected with
the firm of Holm Doe g. Lafferty, and
he expects to remain so. He leaves for
New York this evening on No. IL.
