stuck his knife through her heart.
Immediately he> was sorry he had

wives could cook them that way.
He sat down beside her body and
mourned for three days without eat

they wanted was for him to get back

Finally they brought little pap

BY A. EDWIN LONG.

A great fire in city not only makes
room for bright, new buildings, but it
may sometimes bring bright, new,
energetic business men to city.
A great fire in Omaha in the early
'9O's brought c. NJ. Wilhelm here all
the way from New York City.
Oh, no, he did not come here to
| fight the fire. 1t was well out before
he got here. He did not come as
fast as all that; but nevertheless it
was because he read in New York
paper that Omaha had had great
FIRE that he came here at all.
Wilhelm's youthful ambition was
TO be a college professor. During the
long sunny days while he angled for
eel on the banks of the creek on fhe
old farm near Dansville, N. Y, he pic
tured himself in the dim future,
frowning over his spectacles at a
class OF freshmen, and glibly acclaim
ing that the square Of the hypotenuse
OF right angle triangle is equal to
the sum Of the squares of the other
two sides; or cogently cogitating over
cosmos. Also, he hoped to air his
knowledge OF the biological theory OF
recapitulation and to develop the
Weismann doctrine that acquired
characteristics are not hereditary.
About that time the eel would
swallow the hook and begin to thresh
the water into spray, and the lad
would be yanked out of the dream
into the realm of the practical BUSH
ness Of skinning cells.
Again his professional dreams
would be ripped asunder when his
father made him dig potatoes or hoe
the foxtail out OF the cabbage patch.
In the country school, which he
attended until he was II, he could do
the Dutch roll on the ice; he could
pounce upon his dinky sled and steer
has way down the longest hazelbrush
hill. or swim the biggest turtle pond
in the township.
AT II years he entered the town
school at Lima, N. Y, where he
stayed for FIVE years. Here the COL
lego PROFESSIONAL ambition famed
again once or twice, but famed
weaker and weaker, until it fickered
and died out.
The young man soon became a
small stakeholder in large New
York rug and carpet house. He sold
rugs and carpets and learned the bus
mess well, long before his widest
Omaha daily bee., 1917-03-18

nightmare ever drove his thoughts to
far-away Omaha.
Still, he knew one Omaha man.
That was Mr.. Orchard. Mr.. Orchard
was conducting a rug and carpet
store in the old Continental building
at Fifteenth and Douglas streets,
where the second Continental block
recently burned.
This corner has been famous for
fires. In December, 1892, the old
building burned, and with it went the
Orchard place, with the stock.
Reading a New York paper at
breakfast, Mr.. Wilhelm saw an &C
count OF the fire and of the loss sus-
tanned by Mr.. Orchard. As he knew
Orchard in business way, he wrote
him letter of sympathy that very
day.
In Mr.. Orchards reply some hint
was dropped that indicated he might
not again engage in the business in
Omaha daily bee., 1917-03-18

and help depose that old tyrant, King
Booze. Pick up your glass of water,
you old fellow, to my right and lift
the corners of your mouth, dissipate
your frown of resentment and join
in, spirit and fact this happy band of
gastronomic reeonstructionists.

Omaha. The keen mind OF young
Wilhelm perceived that Omaha might
be a good location for a new rug and
carpet house.
Wilhelm rode the next Pullman car
to Omaha to look over theSfeld. By
the time he had conferred with Or,
chard little he decided to start in
the business here in connection with
Mr.. Orchard.

Edison T. Rich. general attorney for

childhood which still bob up now

indeed, his greatest desire was an out

years contact with the world has not
fully snuffed out these desires.
One day this last week he gazed
