FEARED INSANITY;
COMMITTED SUICIDE

S. c. lesson, a well known La
noble rancher committed suicide
Sunday night by firing a bullet
through his brain. He left a note
saying that he was not going to live
and go as his brother did. BY this
he meant that he was not going to
live and go insane like his brother,
who recently died in the insane
asylum.
The deceased had been suffering
for some time with severe headaches.
but he made little complaint and
never spok of ending his life. Meth
er did he speak his fear of going in
sane, but the short letter which he
left tells the story of the mental suf-
fering which caused him to put an
end TO his earthly existanee.
Mr. lesson was a pioneer of La
noble valley, and for some time
past has been living on the ranch of
his sister-in-law. He was milking
for the Elko Dairy. and doing general
ranch work.-Elko Independent.

CHAPTER XII.
The Big, Fat LummoS.

n Mp r. JOHNNIE WATSON and
EkE Mr.. Joe Bullitt met him al
the gate and offered him
~~ hearty greeting. All bicker-
ing and dissension among these three
had passed. The lady was so won
drous Impartial that as time went on
the sufferers had come to be drawn
together rather than thrust asunder
by their common feeling.
Johnnie Watson had with him today
a visitor of his own, a vastly over
grown person of eighteen. who at John
MES beckoning abandoned a fair COM
panion of the moment and came for
ward as William entered the gate.
II want to intradooce you to two Of
my most int'mut friends, George" said
Johnnie, with anxious gravity. Mr..
Baxter and Mr.. Bullitt let me intro
dooce my cousin. Mr.. Crooper. Mr..
Crooper, this is my friend, Mr.. Baxter
and my friend, Mr.. Bullitt-"
The gentlemen shook hands solemnly.
Mr.. Crooper became more informal.
Johnnie wrote me TO come Eel for
this shindig. 80 I thought I might as
well come" He laughed loudly. Yes
sir" he added. "'cause I'm pretty apt
to be on hand II there's anything
doin'r"
well that's right" said William.
and while they all laughed again Mr.
Crooper struck his cousin a joviaI blow
upon the back.
Hi, ole sport" he cried. II want TO
meet that Miss Pratt before we start!

ut by"

hit, designed to express c~ordiality. sud
denly became naccid and died. The
careless loudness-almost the notori-
ety-with which he had uttered Miss
Pratt's name. demanding loosely to be
presented to her. regardless Of the well
known law that a lady mus first ex.
press some wish In such matters-these
were indications of O coarse nature
sure to be more than uncongenial to
Miss Pratt. Both william and Joe
Bullitt began to wonder why on earth
Johnnie Watson didn't have any more
sense than to invite such q big. fat

liam was alone with Miss Pratt In
their own home. And after a time
they went together and looked into the
door of a room where an indefinite
number of little boys. all over three
years OF age, were playing In the FIRE
light upon a white bear rug. For In
the roseate gossamer that boys dreams
are made of William had indeed en-

His condition was growing worse ev-

mother on the time honored subject of
taking an overcoat and finally submit

She hung the garment upon his arm,
kissed him. and he departed In q des-
perate manner.
However. having worn bis tragic
face for three blocks, he halted before
a corner drug store and permitted his
expression to improve as he gazed
upon the display of MY Little Sweet

But when the uneasy couple found
themselves before the house of the
Parchers they paused In the darkness
and presently decided that IL was not
necessary to go In. From the porch
came the laughter Of several young
voices. and then one silyery voice,
which pretended to be that of a tiny
child.
"Oh, s'amei Same on 90, big Bruv-

"Why. certainly" said Mr.. Baxter as
they turned. Even II Willie were as
crazy as that the little girl would have
more sense I wouldn't have thought
anything Of 1t II you hadn't told me
about the suit cas- That looked sort
of queer"
And when they came TO their own
house again there was william sitting
alone and silent upon the steps Of the
porch.
Il thought you'd gone out. Willie"
said his mother as they paused beside
him.
