helped to recover the berries, he had
re-entered his apartment so abruptly
that Lydia was puzzled to know wheth-

by the incident.
Just when Lydia's chicken reached
the right degree Of BROWNIES the
young man in the suite across the hall
completed the linking of the last lines
in the plans he was to enter in the
prize competition for a design for a
new public building. His deep sigh Of
satisfied relief at the finished task was
followed almost Immediately by the
thought that he was very hungry. He,
too, had fancy for cooking and had
taken the apartment that he might
have, in addition to uninterrupted OPP
portunity for study, the privilege of
preparing coffee and eggs just to suit
his breakfast taste.
A cold, drizzling rain made the out
doors so unin7iting that the young
man decided to have broiled bacon
sandwich and coffee and cheese at
home instead of going out for lone
dinner in a cafe. He opened the door
of the icebox and shut it with slam,
for he found that he had no cream,
and he liked a lot Of cream In his cof-
fee. Now, lonely man or a hungry
man will frequently go far from con-
ventionality. John Parker was both
lonely and hungry his supply Of cream
was exhausted and the grocery stores
were closed for the holiday. Besides,

apartment house erected in her city.
Her living room with it's tiny fireplace
was flanked on one end by bathroom
and q bed closet, and on the other
by a complete and compact kitchen
cite.
On Thanksgiving day Lydia fitted
from room to room singing gay
snatches Of song. Her trim little fg-
ure was lost in the lOOseness OF a long
sleeved white apron with which her for
mer landlady had endowed her when
she set out on this housekeeping ven

her flushed face and her blue eyes were
bright with enthusiasm as she concoct-

The plump chicken browning in the
tiny oven was small, and the quivering
mold of cranberry jelly just turned
out was small, yet there was much
more Of each than Lydia alone could
eat, healthy and hungry as she was.
This thought came to her as she was
arranging pieces Of toast for aspara-
gus and with the thought came a hos
pitable longing to share her good din
ner with some one else who was
healthy and hungry. The girls who
were her co-wOrkers in the public
library either had homes in the city
or had gone to their homes outside
the city for Thanksgiving holiday, and
besides them she had made few &C
quaintances in the city, so she could
think of no one to invite.
She reflected that there must be
many lonely people in that city who
would gladly share with her the dainty
meal that was now almost ready to
serve. Then she thought of the young
man who lived alone in the suite across
the hall from hers and Of whom she
had caught occasional glimpses
through his open door as he bent spec
tacled eyes low over drawing board.

love EifG T&A9G[E 8iE N HOTEL HERE

Tightly clasped in each others arms,
E. E. Fuller, 30, and Minnie Bellows,
Is, were found dead in bed in a room
at the New Avon hotel late Tuesday.
Between the two lay an automatic
pistol with six shells still in the maga-
zine. 1t is believed Fuller first shot the
girl twice thru the heart and then sent
a bullet thru his own heart. Deputy
Coroner Frank Koepfli,' who was
called to the scene Tuesday, said the
two had been dead several days.
On table in the room two letters were
found, one, evidently written by the girl, ad-
dressed to Hazel Doll, of Huntington, Ore,
and the other addressed in masculine hand
writing to L. E. Bellows, General Delivery,
Seattle. L. E. Bellows is the woman's hue
band, but he has not yet been located.
Fuller's letter to the woman's husband
contained a scathing arraignment of the man
tor alleged ill-treatment of his wife. -ft-tolds
of giving the woman considerable money and
her pledging never to go back to him.
The woman's letter is to Hazel Doll, in
Huntington, Ore, sad she was sorry she
could not accept an invitation to go to Ore
gon Tor visit as 4 have just found live
one who has inherited piece of money, and
am going to stick around and see if can
not get penny or two"
The letters which the police believe tell
the story of a love triangle that led up to
the murder and suicide were both sealed. A
telegram which the girl sent from Spokane
to Fuller, July a, asking for SIS, also was
found
An Identification book in Fuller's clothing
showed he had lived in Kalo, Idaho. Two
suitcases filled with clothing of excellent
quality were in the room.
1t is believed the shooting took place Sum
day morning. T. Futuhata, proprietor of
the hotel tried the door Sunday but found it
locked. He became suspicious Tuesday and
had the door broken down. On discovering
the CHASTITY evidence of tragedy, he called
the police and Motorcycle Officer Stanley
was rushed to the hotel
Nothing is known of Fuller, except that
he registered at the hotel July l. The girl
had not appeared there before with him, the
Jap proprietor said. A lodge sword bearing
the initials "U. r." and lilies engraved on
the blade, was near the bed.
Search is being made by the police for the
Bellows girls husband as it is believed he
is in Seattle.
