LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES.
COTT TO RUTH BURKE,
CONTINUED 81

Convulsively I threw my arms
around Johns neck, as there came
to me the thought of that certain
day when there must be separation
between us.
EVERY day L shall pray" I said,
that death shall take me first"
Leslie, Leslie, you must not give
way like this, dear, you will make
yourself sick"
But it is so cruel to separate
those two people. I cannot, even
now when we have been such a
short time together, contemplate a
life without you. Think how much
more tragic it is for mother, of
whose life dad had become an in
tegral part"
John drew me closer in a way
which told me that he, too, could
not think of life without me. 1t
was a moment, I think, when all
false pride left both of us-a mo-
ment in which we knew how de-
pendent we were upon each other.
What, then, will it mean to us
in the future, dear?" I asked, when
you hace grown more necessary to
me than now? 1 could not bear it
vi know I could not"
Eyes, yes, you could, my girl, for
you can bear what all widows of
the world before you have borne.
But, you must not think of that now,
dear heart. We have years and years
together, and we must plan all the
good times possible, and we must
bring that dear mother Of yours into
them as far as she will come, and
we must love to the uttermost and
live all there is to live in every TWEEN
ty-four hours, so that when the
time comes when the hours can no
longer be counted together, we can
say TO death: The joy I have had,
you cannot take from me-
Leslie. dear, let's have no more
MISUNDERSTANDING.
Gently I put my hand over his
mouth. I did not want him to abase
himself. l wanted all our quarrel
ings ana chickering's to be put out Of
our lives and the grave closed and
sealed.
1 wonder If some day there will
come a time when I will remember
this conversations I guess I am too
greedy Of happiness. too wishful of
Joy. That is the reason I am afraid
Of what time will bring to me"
I presume I want John TO be
superman-and I am far from being
a superwoman.
I was brought out OF my sad rev
erie by John saying:
Dearest, 7 hate to leave you. but
we must telegraph Alice and Karl. 8"
BY the very way he repeated Karl's
name knew that as far as he was
concerned, all was TO be a sealed
book in the future.
II am also going to telegraph to
sydney Carton. If you don't mind.
We've always been such great
friends, and I, too. feel the need OF
some one to counsel with just at
this time
Your father. Leslie. has placed a
great responsibility upon me. and he
has asked me to share It with no
one. not even Karl"
He has asked you to take charge
of the business?" 1 said quickly.
Yes. dear"
Before he could tell mo more he
was called away.
You can see. dear. this is going to

WOMAN ENDS LIFE
 TO MEET LOVER
Had Long Kept Trysts With
 Spiritual Sweetheart

CHICAGO, April 26.-The body of c woman, identified later as Miss Janet Stedman, Chicago artist, who formerly lived at Peoria, and who disappeared last February, was taken from Lake Michigan today after two small boys had seen the body and notified police. Friends expressed the opinion that she had voluntarily gone to join her spirit ual sweetheart.
 Years ago when the attractive A. year-old painter studied music abroad, injury caused deformity which left her lame.
 Her sensitive nature barred public career and she turned to painting. While in Paris she and young French man, said to have been scion of the nobility, fell in love. He died and left her welded to her art alone.
 After her reutrn to Chicago, she told friends she had been able to meet and converse with the spirit of her French affianeed She kept tVysts with the spirit at the Art Institute and else where and these visits seemed to bring her happiness.
 The spiritual courtship was the only manifestation of ahy abnormal condi- tion, according to her friends. A day or two after her disappearance, Feb ruary 23, two of her paintings were delivered from q picture-framing shop to the studio of her friend, Miss Laura Abrams. The letter recalled that Miss StednnAn had said to her when am gone I want you to have those two works"
 A few days later, Mrs. A. W. Allen Of Peoria, sister, asked Chicago DO lice to search for the missing artist.

 Names Coolidge
 The club had little difficulty in pick ing the republican presidential nominee. The problem of the democratic conven- tion, however, was much more perplex- ing. From his place an inQuisitor- general was called to issue subpoeras for number of distinguished person. ages. He brought with him his execu- tioner. The first witnesses were "The Three Musketeers." They proved to be Al Smith of New York Thomas Tag gart of Indiana; and George k. Bren- nan of Chicago. The trio identified themselves as expert political swords men," Asked what they intended to do in the forthcoming campaign, they an- nounced in chorus: McAdoo."
 A cowboy, who proved to be William G. McAdoo, rushed in, to inquire, breathlessly, whether the Three Mus keteers had departed. He asserted he was William the Conqueror," appear ing as a voluntary witness and an- nouncing he would be nominated on the first ballot ''even if I have to claim residence in every state in the union."

 Burton was chosen personally by President Coolidge, and the presidential choice created sensation among poll ticians.

 Out-and.Out Conservative
 Burton is an out-and-out conserva- tive. In seeking the significance of his selection, political observers are there fore impressed by these points;
 That the choice of this most con servative of conservatives to sound the party keynote for the campaign this means the Coolidge keynote this year--shows that the President intends to stand pat on those conservative doc trines to which he has always remained true, and will not surrender anything to the liberals.

 3-That the emphasizing by the President of his conservatism is likely to give further impetus to the independ- ent or third party movement. a
 Liberals Fear Split
 It is in connection with this last point that the choice of Burton caused most disappointment h,re among those republicans who would like to see the administration seek to placate as far as consistently possible, the liberals within the party, Instead of placating them, the naming of Burton win simply tend to drive them towards the independen. liberal leaders here fear.
 The conservative leaders, however, hailed the choice of Burton as. an indis cation that the President intends to stick firmly to his political principles, and to impress on the mind of the country that he will neither bow nor trhckle to any other group. either with in or outside his own Darty

WOMAN MAY DIE FROM SHOT FIRED
 AT EAST LAKE
Police Unable To Fix Identity--Victim Re
 fused To Talk

An unidentified woman, apparently about B years of age, was found mys- Lteriansly shot near the Old 1fili in East Lake park Saturday evening.
 Her shooting presents an enigma to police When taken to the 8illnian h0Kpitai shortly after she was wounded she refused to talk to either detectives or hospital attendants and at an early hour Sunday morning was reported, to have lapehdi into unconsciOusness, which would be followed, it was said, by her death.
 One Clue Found
 But one mark of Identification was found on her person. Hn leather pock- etzbook containing 3S cents in change was found partially torn receipt. The name was obliterated from this piece of paper but was signed by Mrs. H. Fowls" and made out April 24,, Ion sewing"
 Near her body lay a .3S-calibre re- volver with one cartridge empty.
 Special Officer J. l.. Conn at the park discovered her body back of the Old Mill about ten minutes after he had heard a shot. The woman, at that time, ha said, was grooming, and asked, when they picked her up, for her pock- etbook. When this was given her she waved it away, saying
 Take it, it's all I've got"
 Conn called Johns ambulance, in which the woman was carried to the Hillman hospital.
 Bullet Penotrates Body
 An examination here showed that one bullet had pierced her left breast, slightly above the heart. A mark there and second on her back proved the bullet had passed through her body.
 When City Detectives E. P. Elledge and T. N. Williamson visited the wom- an at the hospital after she had been re- moved from the operating table, she stoutly refused to answer their ques- tions. Each attempt to ascertain her name or the details of the shooting were met with determined shaking of her head.
 The officers, after their talk with the woman, said they believed she was suffering from tuberculosis.
 PatrOlmen. who were called to the park after the shooting had been re- ported to police headquarters, said that enc of the attendants said he had been approached by a 15-year-old girl q week ago and asked to watch a woman. her sister, whom she was afraid would commit suicide.
