tory TiF,ug OF that kind q life
Capt IN Lamar drsftrl ~ Colorado.
where he engaged ia minisE Late
be eame 20 Idaho. and located at
silver CITY. which Was then one -
the great mining CAMPS 81 the stat,
As tn surrounding mOuntars aerC
then being actively prospected De la
mar located several claims about five
miles from silver City. These claims
proved to be q bonanEa and with Dor
rowed money he developed them In
TO q great producing mine A town
was started there which was named
after the Captain. and for a number
Of years II was one OF the lively min.
ing camps OF the state While the
mine was AZ its heighth as a wealth
producer, Capt, De Lamar sold II 10
an English syndicate for several mil.
lion dollars, some OF which he invest
ed in other mining enterprises which
have materially increased hts for
tune. He Is now one OF the owners
Of the great International Nickel
company
Soon after disposing Of his Ida
no properly, Capt, De Lamar went TO
New York City There he married
a beautiful but penniless girl. Mel
lie Sands.
In spite OF his devotion. OF all the
Injuries which he Hhowered upon
her, Mrs. De Lamar found her pion-
Ger husband somewhat unreasonably
Jealous and otherwise uncongeniai.
Palace after palace the Captain
built, one treasure after another he
purchased. always with the object of
winning back his beautiful wife. IL
all seemed in vain. She became the
wife OF another His houses were
known in New York as palaces OF
disappointment"
But now after years OF striving
and regret on the Captains part.
charming happy daughter has grown
up to occupy and enjoy the palaces
her mother disdained. Tho palaces
OF ppointment have thus become
homes OF happiness s."
Most wonderful OF these palaces
Ia the house known az Pembroke, at
Glen Cove. L. l.. with it's exquisite
swimming pool. It's reproduction OF
tropical scenery. It's exotic gardens
and miles OF wooded driveways.
Here society's newest and perhaps
greatest heiress enjoys a life that Ia
almost fairy-like IN its surroundings.
Scarcely less remarkable Ia the
great stone house az Madison ave
nue. and Thirty-seventh street. one
OF the largest in New York. This
was actually planned by tho Captain
with the idea that II would induce
his wife 20 give up Parts and live in
New York. and in fact make her for.
get all the differences between them
II was while living In Paris that
the Captain and his wife separated
Soon after the separation he spirited
the daughter away and returned 20
the United States. In spite Of his
wealth and many opportunities he
never married again. He found con.
ISOLATION in his daughter. and In ro-
cent years he has taken pleasure in
perfecting for her use the great man
sion on Long Island. which was built
for his young wife.
Many young people now enjoy
these Injuries. and society believes
that Captin be Lamar. the Napoleon.
&c fortune-seeker. tho man OF intense
loyes and hates. who long suffered
cruel disappointment in spite Of his
vast wealth. has found happy home
at last.

something wonderful Here 1t is: There
ts a higher law than the one that is written
IN paper books there is a bigger and

tell on themselves At the end of the week
a regular court session Is held, and, accord
ing punishment is mcted out. We do not
expect TO have lengthy sttngs in court,
because when the boys become thoroughly
mbued with the idea that it is gamer to
be good than to he bad. ,acy VIII try as
hard to behave as they did to mshehaNe.'
