A beautiful simplicity and hospitality
pervaded everything and the boy who

housekeeping at the big mansion on
the hill enjoyed himself immensely.
After dinner the young folks went

girl was good enough for any man

Blair who preferred Mary Warren.
Things, however seemed to be pro-

day Mrs. Blair came to call. She
had never been in the house before.
But when she went away both mother
and daughter realized that she would

a parked the old car at the curl

furniture shop. They were
looking for an old chair to replace the
one Jim had broken last night. She
had warned him against that particular
chair, but in the presence of Tom and
Helen Martin he had planked himself
heavily down and an absurd wreck
had resulted Barbara had shrieked
with merriment as she assisted her
father to his feet. She was at an age
where she laughed easily.
Mother! Look!" Barbara now ex-
claimed, pointing. Then as Ada
turned to gaze at the object: isn't
it great? Apparently just as good as
Mary Warren's grandmother's portrait
which was painted by Sargent
Ada walked closer to the portrait
1t looked old and the frame was mas
sive. What lovely old gentleman with
his velvet coat, curling white hair and
brilliant black eyes! The price on the
card was $40 Ridiculously cheap, and
probably Mr.. Jones could be induced
to shave that bit Their living room
was rather bare of ornament and such
picture would just fill the empty place
over the mantelpiece.
For the next ten minutes Ada
matched her wits against those of the
shrewd little secondhand dealer She
sparkled with eagernesS Barbara, slim
and piquant, watched her pretty blond
mother admiringly. There was no
doubt in Barbara's mind that mother
would get the picture for $7-which
she did.
The search for chair was aban-
doned since they had spent all their
money. and they went gayly home with
the portrait. When they had cleaned
of dust and fly specks and FURNISHED
up the frame 1t really seemed as II
they had made a good investment. Mr.
Jones had assured them that the old
picture had come in load of junk
from another town. and feeling that il
would never be recognized by anybody
who saw 1t Ada mounted the steplad-

FORT SCOTT, KanS., July THE
marital and financial relations of Jack
son Barnett. known as the worlds
wealthieSt Indian. and his white wife
again have been approved by Federal
court.
Another of the series of suits in
stituted by the Government since the
elopement of the couple an 1920 was
dismissed here yesterday by Federal
Judge John C. Pollock. The action
grew out OF the distribution in 1923
by the Interior Department of about
$l.io0.00o of Barnett's fortune. Mrs.
Barnett received $3.50, 600 of this fund
and like amount went to the Ameri-
can Home Baptist Mission Society of
Oklahoma. While the money given
the mission society was returned TO the
Barnett estate held in trust by the
Government, Mrs. Barnett was allowed
TO retain her share.
Sought to Recover Fees.
In the suit here. the Government
sought recovery of 100000 attorneys
fees paid by Mrs. Barnett. The de-
PENDANTS. Harold c. McGugin, Walter
S. Keith. c. NJ McGugin and the Will
liam McGugin Investment Co. were
charged with receiving the fee under
a contract calling for IS per cent OF
the money they could obtain for the
white wife from her husbands estate.
Judge Pollock held that Mrs. Barnett
had a right to marry the Indian. that
his wealth from oil leases was obtained
legally. and that the Interior Depart
ment had sanctioned Barnett's gift to
his wife. Soon after the marriage OF
the couple in Coffeyville. Kans.. eight
wears ago, the Government started pro-
ceedings to protect the interests of the
wealthy Indian An attempt to annul
the marriage on the ground Barnett
was kidnapped and married against his
will was unsuccessful.
Offered to Trace Money.
In a statement made when the suit
was fled against him, H. c. McGugin
said he had offered to trace all the
money received as attorneys fees from
Mrs. Barnett. and that funds paid to
his firm were due for services in con-
nection with the extensive legal pro-
ceedings growing out of the estate liti-
