daughter than did good Ishambeau, the
mother, who had, however, a more gen.

daughter, taking her share in the work
at home and in the fields just as any
other peasant girl OF her day. At no
time was she a cold, ascetic young
saint She laughed and cried as other

cousin. the rich Duke Of Burgundy and

English King against his own country;
whose insane father had signed away
his rights of succession to the throne in
a shameless treaty.

CONDUCT
RAID ON WOODS
HALL, IN SUBURBS

Woods hall, an establishment sit
uated at the corner of Cervantes and
J. streets, in the vicinity of what is
known as Moro Castle, was raided by
a squad of police last night at late
hour, and some interesting stories are
promised when the case is aired in
the city court. It is scheduled for
trial this morning, but a warrant,
which was issued for the alleged pro-
prietor, Roy Wood, had not been
served up to a late hour. and unless
this arrest is effected it is probable
the trial will be delayed.
According to stories which were
told police during the past few days,
the suburban dance pavilion has been
the scene of some gay old times, but
nothing was reported, it is said, which
would warrant any police action. Last
night. however, a young man named
Greil Rhodes is reported to have TAX
en- a shot at some undesirable guest,
or at least the police charge him with
discharging his revolver in the city
limits. When Officer Brewton ar
rested him later on it is said he still
had the revolver and he will have to
explain away a charge of carrying
concealed weapons.
During last night, it was also as
serted by the police, one of the
guests" who wore a sailors uni
form, complained he had been re-
lieved of $40, and claimed that girl
had deftly lifted his money. He
made a great time over it, and so
much of disturbance that the police
&ere persuaded to step in This

him. When he went west to pursue his
profession as an architect in hustling
new city everybody knew that he
would come back as soon as he pos
sibly could and marry Evaleen Good
win. She herself knew 1t, although he
had not asked her before he went. But
a few weeks later came letter to her
from Jerome in which he asked her to
be his wife. She was the happiest girl
living that day. She danced and sang
through the house. That night when
the house was still she wrote her reply
to Jeromes letter-a little. humble
girlish note. such as must have touched
any mans heart. He had said that if
she accepted him he would come 10 her
at once; his presence should answer
her letter. She knew that he would
come. She waited first for days, then
for weeks, then for months. He never
came.
