born in Oklahoma in 1880 or 1881 and
lived there until 1919. The compliant
continues:
THAT shortly prior to 1916. and
about the year 1919 or 1919, the said

course OF the acquaintance between

was OF royal Indian blood and that
she was q direct descendant OF Chief
SequoyAh, the greatest man OF the

Two Women Confess, of My Pre-

Two Women Confess, of My Pre-.
dicament; She of Her Sorrow.
The rose pink of nature which no
rouge can rival glows in Martha S
cheeks, and her eyes are a deep vio-
let, and her hair is like spun gold.
That December morning she wore a
long blue cape which sometimes con-
cealed, sometimes revealed, the
magnificent curves of her tall fig
ure. 1t has always been the habit
of US Lorimers to jolly Martha, the
independent "lady-lawyer" about
her slavish devotion to cher men,"
The girl is no silly chatter-box, but
she has been so desperately in love
with Ewart that she never has failed
to introduce his name, by qouting
his opinion, in almost every other
paragraph of her conversation, that
is, in her talks with her intimates.
That morning l suddenly realiz-
ed that Martha had been with me
half an hour and hadn't voluntarily
referred to Ewart! And she had ac-
