MacKnac Island, Mich, Aug. 81
Little Eugenia Kelly rides hard these
days. Business is suspended in the
morning, when she gallops through
the main street astride her big gray
mare and disappears around the bend
There is another halt in the evening
when she comes galloping back.
Eugenia seems a happier girl thar
when she came here with her mill

escapades and her Broadway friends
There is higher tint in her face
and her rediscovered smile.

other name during the few weeks he
passed on the island at an obscure

A visiting newspaper man heard the
story of Eugenia Kelly, her lionel,
