fellow, all right. He's friendly and

Well might bluff, hearty, but in
tensely selfish Basil Drake speak in

cousin, Hugh Evans. Years before
Drake had been clerk in the senior
Evans. When the latter died he
eurned the business over to Drake.

Hugh a good helper about the store
and had kept him ground down in a
business way. Of late Mrs. Drake
had intimated that she wished Hugh
would find quarters elsewhere, not
that she disliked him, but the grow

Hugh was good man. When that

honest, Industrious, sympathetic and
kindly to all humanity. The Drake
system had in a measure tended to
suppress ambition, but the mental

at the boat landing at the Walters
farm home one mile down the river
from town, had an unusual expert
.ence one day last week. a pet An
CORA cat had followed her out from
the house and crawled out on a log
that extended into the water. Mrs.
Walters was soon absorbed III the
business of catching fish when sud-
denly she heard a CRY Of distress from
the cat and was amazed
to see the head of what to herseemed
a monster pickerel with the cat flrln-
ly fast in its mouth. The cat was wildly
clawing the air in an effort to reach its
log Of refuge. The lady at once lung
her fishing rod in the direction Of tie

SENDS BEST" LOVE
TO DIVORCED WIFE
Husband Accused in Minute
Kiss" Case Still Affectionate,
Letters Show.

"My Dear Bum" is a salutation used
by Edward F. Robertson, a wealthy i'm
porter, in letter to Mrs. LAUREN C..
Robertson, who obtained a divorce
from him last June This beginning of
a friendly letter, one of several, was
offered in the Supreme Court yesterday
TO prove that the Robertsons continue
on very good terms, Notwithstanding
the divorce.
The present proceeding is to substi-
tute William T. Jerome for Gustav
LANCE, jr., as counsel for Mrs Robert
son. LANCE objected to such change
until he had received the money due
him for his services. Justice Philbin
yesterday granted the application for
the change of counsel, which, however
is not to become effective until LANCE
has been paid or bond OF $4,000 is
filed to assure such payment. Wilbur
Larremore was appointed referee TO
ascertain the amount due the lawyer.
Two letters from Robertson filed
with the papers were written in Au-
gust, two months after his wife OBJ
tanned the divorce. They are addressed
to Mrs. Robertson at "a West Fifty
ninth Street. Pending trial of the &C.
ton in which Miss Nina Tempest and
a one-minute kiss figured, Robertson
paid his wife 500 week alimony.
In the letter addressed "My Dear
Bum" he suggests that his wife meet
him at his Office and discuss the matter
of almony, which, he said. would be
more satisfactory to both than if done
with the aid of lawyers. This epistle
is signed, with best love and wishes,
Eddie" Part of it reads 81 shall
take all necessary steps to vacate 200
SO w.. p. d. @. The place gives me
the blues. When the stuff at 400 w. E.
has to be sold out | will try to get
whatever you like for you there, free
of expense to you
In the other letter Robertson ex-
pressed solicitude for the safety of his
wife in a local hotel alone.
The record shows that Robertson and
his wife met and discussed the ali
mony question quite amicably, with the
result that Mrs. Robertson will receive
$4,000 a year as long as she remains
unmarried If she should remarry this
allowance is to be cut down to $4,000.
At the death of Robertson, the agree
ment provides. Mrs. Robertson is to re-
ceive $4,000 from his estate.
