STORY FROM THE START

Handsome, fastidious and
wealthy-yourig st. Croix Creigh-
ton awaits Els sweetheart at
their trysting place. She is late,
this ordinary little Pennsylvania
Dutch girl. Nicely Schwenckton.
-Desk;tes-hers seeming innocence
and ignorance, she succeeds in
keeping him at a distance, to
his chagrin. Nicely, in the
Schwenckton home, where she is
boarding, is altogether unlike
the girl who meets st. Croix
clandestinely. She is the teacher
in the neighborhood school, of
which Marvin Creighton, st.
Croix' brother, is superintendent.
Nicely learns that Marvin was to
have married his cousin, titled
English lady, but, believing she
was attracted by the Creighton
wealth, had refused the alliance.
It Is the rumor that st. Croix is
to take Marvin's place and marry
the English girl. st. Croix' jeal-
ousy is aroused by Meely's report
of an aged sutton for her hand.
The girl cleverly decoys him into
admitting he has no intention of
marrying her.

WARDEN lyman
QUITS; BALkED
two GOVERNORS.

DENVER, Jan. 11.-lP-Thomas j.
lyman, warden of the Colorado state
penitentiary at Canon City, has re-
signed, thus bringing to an end more
than two years effort on the part of
two governors, William E. Sweet and
Clarence J. Morley, who relinquished
office at noon today, to discharge him.
The resignation, prepared by the
warden Sunday, was transmitted to
Gov. w. H. Adams, who took the oath
of office at noon today, by S. Harrison
White, counsel for lyman. White, ac-
cording to reliable reports, turned the
resignation of the warden over to the
incoming governor yesterday.
lyman is declared to have dated the
resignation effective July 1.
Governor Adams, following his in
auguration today, declined to deny or
affirm the report that he had the
resignation of the warden, but did say:
THAT matter will be taken care of in
few days
S. Harrison White, although not ex-
actly noncomnittal on his part in the
transaction, declared it is his belief
that the announcement should come
from the governor.
lyman now is under charges in the
state civil service commission pre-
ferred against him last week by seven
Canon City residents, on the recon-
mendation of former Governor Morley.
The charges were given to the COM
mission by Commissioner William r.
Lamber, Jr, Morley's appointee to the
commission after the president, Col.
P. j. Hamrock Of the commission, call
ed a showdown meeting of the board.
In the charges, lyman is charged with
negligence, incompetency, unfitness
and drunkenness in the conduct of the
prison.
Commissioner Elibeth Quereau and
Lambert accepted the charges and
gave the warden five days in which
to file his answer. Announcement of
his resignation, it is believed, will
result in dismissal of the charges.
Two years ago, before relinquishing
his position, the then governor Sweet,
filed charges of similar nature
against lyman The charges were
heard by the commission and the war
den was freed of all of the charges.
In addition to the present civil ser
