Clarinda, Aug. 16.-When Ben Raw
Inns. who lives northeast Of Clarinda,
in Nodaway township, arose early
Monday morning, he found sitting at
his door an old, decrepit, half-starved
man, who proved to be Scott East, who
mysteriously disappeared from Page
county forty three years ago, and
since then has been heard from only
once. Upon investigation, MIR. Raw
lings found that the man, who claims
to be about 65 years of age, was des-
titute of clothing, in very poor health
and with no money. He took him in,
fed and clothed him, and after some
conversation found he was distant
relative. Mr.. and Mrs. Rawlings are
old and not in the best Of health. so
did not feel like caring for Mr.. East.
Accordingly they called up George +.
Fisher, one of the trustees of Nod
away township, applying to him for
care for the aged wanderer. Accord
ingly Mr.. Fisher did the only possible
thing and took the man TO the Page
county farm Tuesday, where he will
remain, pending an investigation by
Mr.. Fisher and others, which may re-
suit in locating relatives, who will take
care of him.
Upon investigation, it was discovered
the man had wandered into Clarinda
Sunday evening and asked T. a.
Brooks, city marshal. to find him
place where he could sleep for the
night Mr. Brooks asked him where
he was going. and the man replied
he was hunting the home of Ben
Rawlings, a reltive. Mr.. Brooks di-
rected him how to find this place, but
East only got as far as the home of
Jess Anderson in Nodavay township.
There he inquired Of Mr.. Anderson the
way TO the Rawlings place and altho
il was near, he was tired out, and
asked to stay all night. Mr.. Ander-
son took him in. but next morning he
was UP and off at O'clock and when
Ben Rawlings arose was found sitting
on bench in front of his door.
Reveals Strange Story.
This peculiar incident opens up
strange story of ancient Page county
history, a story we'll known to many
of the older residents of Clarnda and
vicinity. The father Of Scott East was
a doctor and surgeon in Clarinda in the
early days, a man highly respected. He
served during the civil war as sur
geon with the Twenty-third Iowa regi-
ment and during that conflict lost an
eye DR.. East also practiced law in
Glarinda in the early days, and was at
one time IN partnership with the father
of W. z. Morledge, janitor of the Clar-
linda high school building. Forty-three

of two sons and three daughters. was

she had been seated. As her feelings
mounted she had risen and had moved
uneaSily about the chamber. as
though the spirit that possessed her
would not let her rest. But now. with
the mention Of the Miss Deane,
whose name seemed to stir her so
deeply. she seated herself in an arm
chair and sat there rigid. with clinch-
ed hands. She did not look at TraSk.
Whoever Miss Deane had been or
was and no matter what emotion the
memory of her awakened and stirred
in the breast of Joan Trask it did not
seem to affect Gerald Trask. save that
he now seemed possessed of a wish to
have the painful scene over with.
Perhaps it was with a desire to reach
the end that he now said "Never mind
digging up the past"
II will dig up the past" said Mrs.
Trask. I'll tell the whole story to the
world and let it see what manner of
man you are and have BEEN
Was it fear that now possessed the
heart of Gerald Trask. insensible to
other. higher motives? After all, de-
spite his cynical disregard of his wife's
marital rights. she had aided him in
maintaining the place in the social
world to which he had been born l..
gOaded beyond endurance. she laid bare
to the world the tale of his infidelities
and wOrSe-she could do irreparable
damage to his reputation. Had he any
friendships which could stand the
strain? Could a man such as he was
have any real friends? In an in
slant, with the incalcuIable rapidity of
thought. his mind ran over the list of
acquaintance. At the end of the list
came Strickland. Strickland.
His thoughts swung back to joan
sitting, scornful and indignant, before
him. 1t was plain to the man of the
world that now he had gone the linn
it." But little more was needed to
force his wife over the precipice TO
which their steps had been converging
for years. He knew her well enough
to realize that, her resolution to divorce
him once taken, she would not turn
back from the bitter road. whitherSo-
ever it led. Not even the thought Of
the children. so much dearer to her
than to. him. would deter her. he knew.

swell, he said it had been so darn
ed hard for him to get it that he
wanted the pleasure of handing it to
me in ten $1,000 bills. Be sure to de-
post it in the morning"
Glover took the money and went to
the safe. Mrs. TraSk sat quietly, no.
ticing nothing, distracted by thoughts
of "the other woman" Trask sat at
the desk, stretching his limbs and
yawning. Neither saw that the money
was deposited securely in the inner
compartment of the safe. Glover turn
ed his head to ask, 'Shall' T Tock it.

with the words Anything else?"
81 don't think so. Oh, yes! Better
remind me to get that card from Strick-
land in the morning"
"AIl right" said Glover. I'll go to
my room now" He picked up Mrs.
Trask's account books from the table
and said to her. "I'll have these ready
for you in the morning. Mrs. Trask."
She thanked him. and there were
three ."GoQd nights" as he left the
room When he had gone there was
a brief silence. broken only by pro-
digious and discourteous yawn from
Trask. 1t was plainly to be seen that
between Gerald and Joan Trask there
was nothing of the sweet confidence
and intimacy of married life which
make happy wedlock tne nearest earth
ly approach to heaven. Long before
she had begun to bore him. Years be-
fore he had forfeited by inf1delity and
Indifference the love she had once felt
for him. But it not was dead. 1t
needed but the spark of renewed af-
lection. respect and truStworthineSS on
his part to bring it into full blaze.
Joan TraSk was a good woman. a wife
of whom any man might have been
proud. Even in physical attractions
she was not wanting, and strangers
seeing her decked in costly raiment
and jewels envied Gerald Trask his
consort. Her face told nothing Of the
inrOads which her husbands success
sion of Sights and insults, combined
with infdelities; had made on her
spirit.

woman was. Not that it mattered
much. Whoever she was she was but
the latest of a long line. But Joan

her lawful husband. and he must come
out into the open.
As soon as Glover was out of earshot
she turned TO Trask.

asked.
'Oh. what woman?" The words were
drawled out in a tome which might
have betokened WEAKNESS of either
body or spirit.

Now she held him by the vigor of her

thus. Perhaps there had been some
thing in ''the other woman's'' voice as
she had demanded speech with Trask
which had aroused the tigress which
is latent in every woman scOrned, even
the meekest. Perhaps it was the con-
