But can I cable dad this very

with the loss of that poor woman.
What could have happened to her?
Who could have put her glass slipper
in my room. and how did it happen to
fit my foot?"
MY dear girl, which question am !
to answer first?" Straine teased her.
"As far as the slippers fitting you,
that is not strange. 1t was small
slipper. and you have small foot.
Who put it in your room is another
matter, but, of course, there was only
one motiVe-the desire of the guilty
person to implicate you as a party to
the crime
Then you're sure it was crime,
Victor? You don't think she walked
in her sleep and went overheard or
committed suicide?"

Answer Filed In
Ranchers' Feud

Answer was filed at the county
clerk office yesterday afternoon
in the second case of H. J. Bornt
against Harmon Temple. The com
plant in the case charges that the
defendant is indebted to Bornt for
some 1915 through a cattle purchase.
In the answer the defendant sets
forth that the suit is the same suit
which was recently tried in super
ior court and in which a decision
was handed down in favor of the
defendant and against the plaintiff.
Considerable tangling in both the
civil and criminal courts has been
carried on between the two, Temple
causing the arrest of Bornt follow
ing the trial on a charge of attempt
ing to bribe a witness while Temple
was later arrested, charged with
stealing a bull from Bornt.
