Miner Thorne, divorced wife of the
L millionaire Chicago clubman, Cor
don C. Thorne, clicked her latchkey in the
lock of her dainty apartment a. NO. 20
West Sixty-ninth street, New YORK. she
was tired after her long days ride from
Chicago. She was glad to be home again
back TO the cozy suite where she has lived
comfortably but quietly since she received
her freedom and $3.50 month alimony IN
a court decree year ago.
Gerry" called Mrs 1horne, switching
on the electrics. There was no answer.
She had left her apartment in possession
of girl friend, Geraldine Caldwell, who
was temporarily down on her luck" pend
ing the fulfilment of stage ambitions. Mrs.
Thorne had Hospitality taken her in.
Il guess Gerry's out" remarked Mrs.
Thorne to her maid. "As soon as you un'
pack, Marie, fix bath. I'm simply perlIh'
ing! And get out some fresh lingerie
please"
Mrs. Thorne entered her boudoir--and
stopped Her 5ewel box, which she gem
orally kept in the drawer OF the dressing
table, was lying open on Its TOP Ihree
OF her rings were gone. So was her black
onyx PLAGUE with the Russian wolfhound
studded in diamonds and the bow-knot
jeweled pin she particularly priced for its
memories. Mrs. Thorne, momen'arily re-
sentful, laughed. Gerry. she thought, had
indeed made herself at home"
She walked to the closet, unlocking her
cape The accustomed row of cloaks and
gowns seemed depleted. Yes, at least one
frock was missing and her beautiful wrap
of black canton crepe. Still Mrs. Thorne
preserved her good humor.
Marie, the maid, was standing before
the chiffonier, pulling out drawer aftel
drawer. Suddenly she swung about tC
Mrs. Thorne with a single expressive
French gesture.
Madame, your lingerie is gone!"
Amazement was Mrs. Thorne's first emo
tion. She couldn't believe H. Why, she'C
left stacks and stacks of chiffon and crep'
de chine snuggled into their proper re
ceptacle!

IN BAD MIx-UP
IN DELTA YARDS SUNDAY

An open switch and the two en-
gines employed on the passenger run
of the Grand Junction Montrose and
of the Somerset run, were the princi-
pals in a headon collision a short dis
tance north of the water tank at the
local station Sunday noon.
The North Fork train arrived on
time and was parked or the side
track on the east of the depot. The
Grand Junction train was 40 minutes
late, and it appears that somebody
went to sleep and left the switch
open, and when the train from Grand
the side track. Before the crew
realized what was happening the
moving engine struck the lighter one
standing on the track, driving it back
so or 60 feet. The fronts of both en-
gines were demolished, including
headlights, COW catchers and fire
boxes. The front trucks of the
Grand Junction engine left the track
and several ties were torn from the
track.
The passengers were more or less
shaken up but most of them escaped
with bloody noses.
The train was slowing up in order
to take on water at the tank, and the
fireman, R S. Lowry, was outside
the cab, preparing to fill the tank
when the impact came. He was
temporarily knocked out, but in a few
moments recovered himself and in
sisted on going to Montrose with his
train.
