Betty Schumanns tvono 1ncsd the
Common Law Wife Of William Mckallips
Wealthy Oil Magnate, at Play with
Neishbor's Child in the Gardens Of
Mckallip's Estate at Okmulgss, Oklahoma.
AGED with a decision between .
r great love and great fortune,
what would you do? Would you
decide in favor of love in a cottage or
would the cold and glittering million seem
more worthwhile?
That is the question which pretty
Betty Schumann, of Oklahoma, had to
solve-except that in her case it wasn't
quite 80 simple. Twenty years Of life
had given her position uncertain enough,
1t must be admitted, as only the mistress
Of millions), luxury and admiration
everything, in short, but love. Finally,
that, too, came her way. Its value was
more to Betty than many millions-it
was everything for which she had longed
and had been denied.
For brief moment it was hers to take
" refuse, but embracing it would have
meant the living of lie, the enactment
of a lifetime Of deceit, a payment too
high-priced even for lfe's greatest bless
ing.
So Betty took the million-or thought
that she did. But her rich old patron
died, cutting her off with paltry $50 a
month as q reward for her devotion and
sacrifice.
Love gone, the million gone, Betty
:ued to regain the latter, since she had

4 51-year-old widower with
daughter almost as old Is Betty attending
school in California.
The modest home Of Betty's married
sister was polished till it shone, in order
to put on its best front for her important,
new acquaintance. Life was very gay and
happy for the sixteen-year-old girl that
Summer. She was taught to preside at
affairs ut the millonaire's Summer camp
on the Minnesota lakes and was showered
with beautiful gifts by her generous new
guardian" When the time came for
McKallip to return to his business in
Oklahoma, Betty went with him.
In his home city Of Okmulgee there
were whispers when the rosy-cheeked
"niece" took up her abode in the home
Of the grayhaired McKallip, but SO strong
was his position in the business world
and so generous had been his gifts to
charitable and municipal enterprises that
none questioned him openly about the
girl.
Betty moved in the best circles of
Okmulgee. She wore the finest of dresses
and the most expensive jewels.
Only occasionally, her testimony re-
vealed, did she feel at all worried or un-
certain as to her position in the McKallip
household. At these times she reminded
her host that his invitation to accompany
him to his home had contained the

for the event and after The death Of the
baby she spent Summer 1T the Min.
nesota lakes, recuperating.
Another Summer 1T the lakes and an
other Winter in the Oklahoma town and
the oil man was stricken with illness. The
girl studied nursing and scientific dieting
in order to care for him.
Betty's duties continued with = trip
to California, thence to Kansas City and
Rochester. Mimi, and finally to special
lists in New York in the hope Of curing
the millionairs's illness. But physicians
shook their heads and said that the all
ment was incurable.
1t was after short visit to OkmulEee,
when Betty was returning to New York
to be with her dying benefactor, that she
met Harry Owen, bound East to Chicago.
The hours were dragging for both and .
polite conversation led to mutual admirs-
ton and interest.
"Mr. Owen" stated Betty, asked II
he might look mo up when he came to
New York and !. only too glad to know
someone companionAble and nice of my
own age, told him he might"
In few weeks Owen telegraphed Betty
that he would be in New York His sur
prise was great when the young woman
met him At the station in the luxurious
McKallip limousine; it was even greater
when she entertained him in the drawing
room Of McKallip's expensive uptown
apartment.
Weeks followed in which he knew
Betty only ~ the pampered niece" of
the wealthy McKallip and in which he
grew to love her-a love which Betty
reciprocated.
Il didn't think about how it would ap-
pear to Mr.. Owen" said Betty in refer
ence to her relations with the older man.
II just looked at the happiness Of it all.
l loved someone who loved ME. Every
thing else was blotted out"
And one day she and her young sweet
heart, reinforced with brand new mar
riage license, went to interview her
"uncle" in his sick room. Kneeling at her
dying guardians" bedside, Betty timor-
ously preached her plan. She and Harry
were to be married.
McKallip, pale and worn with recent
illness, pulled himself in sitting posture.
He was white with rage.
'She can't marry you," shrilled the
millionaire. "She's miner
He turned to Betty. Betty, tell him
that you are mine. You can't marry him.

But he swept this aside.

any closer together than we are now. Be

would kick about it. Why not be happy
as we are?"
And 50 the marriage question was
dropped and not taken up again even
when Betty became the mother Of Nc
kallip's son, who died few hours after
birth: McKallip had taken Betty to 4
modest little bungalow in Dallas. Texas,

10 a certain point, but it will never
bring back Owen, the handsome Chi
cago real estate dealer whom she
was about to marry when the oil
magnate stepped in and claimed her.
Testimony given during the hear
ing Of her suit revealed that it all
started five years ago when Mckal-
lip, who had amassed q fortune in
Oklahoma oil, was vacationing 1T
Park Rapids, Michigan.
It was there that he met Betty,
one Of eight children in 4 family Of
modest circumstances. Betty was
sixteen and rosy-cheeked and pretty.
McKallip was Immediately taken
with her youth and buoyancy and
she, in turn, was impressed with his
wealth and social position. When
tho rich widower invited her to his
home, or motoring, or for a spin
across the lake in his magnificent
speedboat, she was fattered at 20

eminence.
Betty naturally returned the in

have denied everything. She might have
claimed that the old man was weak and
worn with illness-he didn't know what
he was saying. But in that second she
saw clearly. She saw herself grasping
happiness and holding it to her with q lie
and living forever after in the shadow
and torment Of that lie.
Knowing full well the penalty, she told
her story to Owen-told of her meeting
with McKallip in Minnesota. going with
him to his Okmulgee home, the little
bungalow in Dallas-the child-eyery-

Owen. Betty's lawyers sued to
set aside the will and for weeks
the case was fought in trial before
Judge Swain, Of Oklahoma.
The judges decision scored relatives
who attempted to class the girl below the
moral level of wife. He held that she
was entitled, morally and legally, to share
in the oil magnate's millions.
II gave myself to Bill when l was =
girl Of 49," the young woman said. Il
don't know how l came to love Harry
Owen-it was something grand and beau
tiful-and it's all like dream now.
"If Bill and had gone through . mar
riage ceremony it never could have hap
pened."
She sighed as she recalled those few
happy days when she believed McKallip
would let her marry the youth she had
met on the train.
1T looks now as though I am to get
the money" she continued, ''but haven't
any love. Bill is dead-and love-well,
guess that's dead, too."
This feeling on the part Of Miss 6chu-
mann is quite understandable, for, after
all, as the poets have it, "'tis love that
makes the world 80 round"
Nevertheless, a million dollars is mil
lion dollars, and thousands Of young
women, unfolding their newspapers a.

reach. Today she has the million and
great, aching void in her life that can.
perhaps, never be filled.
These facts became known when Betty
Schumann contested the will of William
r. Mckalip, 61yearold oil magnate
of Okmulgee, Oklahoma. whereby he had
left her monthly sum Of $50, after
his mate and prevented her marriage with
young Harry Orwell Owen. The court de-

Ml2AnRzy Ducks Favored
by Arkansas Breeder

II was the first to raise Muscovy
ducks in this part Of the country. Ny
neighbors were astonished to see them
sitting on the top of fences or in the
loft Of my barn.
Feeding and laying habits of Mus
covy ducks are much like that of
chickens. 1t is. not necessary to con-
fine them each morning to get their
eggs. as is often the case with other
ducks, writes B. G.. Roberts of Ar
kansas in Capper's Farmer. They be-
gin laying in February and often will
lay until cold weather if not allowed
to become broody.
Like the goose they feed mostly on
grass and other green matter and do
not require much concentrated feed.
Those who object to the noise made
by other varieties Of ducks prefer Mus
cows for they quack only when badly
frightened The brakes can made, no
noise at all except a kissing sound.
The young ducks are easy to raise.
After they are SO hours old feed
stale bread soaked in sweet milk.
This is soon changed to a ration con-
sisting of two parts wheat bran, two
parts shorts, one part yellow corn
meal and a small amount OF beef
scraps. feed this three to five times
q day, Sand is sprinkled over it oc-
casionally for grit.

V New summary tables on the chem
ical composition OF fresh fruits have
been issued BY the United States De
partment Of Agriculture. Data on 81
kinds and varieties of fruits and 81
fruit juices are included in this COM
pilation By Charlotte Chatfield and
Laura !. Mclaughlin of the depart
ment's bureau Of home economics. Re-
liable analyses printed in this and
other countries and unpublished data
from co operating federal and state
laboratories were used as the basis Of
these figures. and specialists in fruit
production and handling were consult
ed regarding them. It is believed that
these figures more nearly represented
the composition OF fruits now grown
and marketed In this country than any
other extensive list of analyses here
tofore published.
Fuel Value.
Protein, carbohydrates, and all the
other chemical constituents are given
in percentage Of the edible portion Of
each fruit. Fuel value appears as cal
cries per pound and per 100 grams. In
making the tables particular care was
taken to determine what part of the
fruit was considered refuse in making
the analyses, and to designate the
refuse percentage as skin, seeds. or
other inedible portion.
AS q further aid to accuracy, the
botanical as well as the common name
is given for each fruit. For varieties
that differ markedly in composition or
for types grown in different localities,
separate averages are given. Under
apples, for instance, are figures for
early, medium, and late varieties, as
well as an average for all varieties.
The averages for peaches grown in
Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, and
, New Jersey bring out interesting diff.
ferences in sugar content
New Figure.
With these new figures on fruit
analyses diets in both health and dis
ease may be calculated more accurate
". Economists can. use them in maxi
ing closer estimates of nutritive value
in food consumption studies. They will
give producer and consumer more
exact knowledge of the chemical con-
