N Converses Freely.
Mrs. Wellington conversed freely
yesterday regarding the affair at
the Monarch gardens, but her face
became grave when Barr's name
was mentioned.
II met Barr while he and his
father were boarding at my home
in Oskaloosa. l used to go few
places with him but always gave
him to understand we could be moth
ing more than good friends.
HE used to tell me 'Nino. I'm
crazy about you but you don't care
the snap of your finger for me-
would always tell him he shouldn't
feel that way. He used to haunt me
all the time in Oskaloosa.
"He left Oskaloosa sometime be-
fore l did and we met again in Oma-

Clarence good-by. The boy thinks
