 Minetta Briggs had heard of the sale

 murder. She and Ives had been friends | for three years. Many a time he had ! asked her to leave her husband, but

she had refused. When Ives told her that he was going to leave the town, she knew she would never see him again, unless she accompanied him. She thought that he would jump at the chance" to take her with him, but he turned her down flat" And that very day her husband discarded her. She decided to make Ives pay.
 She had loved the man passionately.

She didn't blame her husband for cast ing her off. but she calmly decided to make the liar who had wrecked her life realize that he had taken a long chance on the patience of one woman.

Every Flower Has a Story
 Of Its OW n
THE LILY oE THE VALLEY

Should you receive a bouquet of lilies of -the-valley the sender pays you a subtle compliment, for this blossom signifies unconscious sweetness in the language of the flowers. It also repre- sents the return of happiness.
 Lily of the-valley is one of the flowers dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is also known as Our Lady's tears.
 Used for Medicine
 The ancients attributed great medi- cinal properties to this plant A deli cious. perfumed liquid was distilled from the flowers, which, it is said, was a remedy for nervous disorders. This liquid was considered so valuable that it was kept only in bottles of silver or gold.
 In the Middle Ages, beauty doctors prescribed the blossoms of the lily-of the-valley gathered before sunrise and l rubbed on the face as a cure for freck- l les. In some English counties, a su- perstition is found that the person who
Arizona republican., 1920-08-06

transplants a bed of these lilies will die within the next year.
 = Legend of Origin
 The legend of the origin of this flower tells of hermit, St. Leonard, who lived about 500 A. D. in the forest of Louvain, in France. Near him dwelt a huge dragon, and often terrible struggles took place between them.
