NOw Go On With the Story

Mary LOUIS battered trunk,
suitcase and box arrived safely
at "Westwood House" for
warded by the faithful Larry,
from whom she received a
lengthy and wild letter, typed
on yellow copy paper, demand
ing, cajoling, warming and
pleading. Did she realize what
she was getting into? de-
manded Larry, fra n ii ally.
Would she never grow up?
OF all the crazy, mad, insane
and incredible schemes! How
eveW, count on him to stand
by her, and, if necessary, to
get her out of this mess into
which, idiotically, she appeared
to have gotten herself. For
himself, he could not believe
q word of her explanation
that is, not with a sane and
intelligent mind. And when
could he come out and see for
himself just what sort of
monkey-business this appea~-d
to be?
But Mary Lou wasn't quite
ready to face Larry yet. She
wrote soothingly. promising to
keep in touch with him. She
wrote, also, to her uncle and
Clara. It would be many
weeks before the letters would
reach them and months before
she would have their answer.
She realized, setting down the
facts in careful pot-hooks, en-
"Westwood", paper. that it
would all seem as unreal as
q dream to the Sandersons.
Well. is seemed unreal to her,
she thought.
Not a Hard Role
Yet her role was not hard to
play. she found. as the days
slipped by and gray snow
clouds began to veil the horizon
and there. was a breath of
winter. frosty and menacing, in
the air. For Lorrimer made
1t as easy for her as possible,
trying to keep his word to his
mother and DR.. Mathews. 1t
would have been an act of in
human Self-control on mis- part
not to refer to what he thought
was their mutual past. That
morning on which he had gone
out to look for her and had
found her at the kennels had
passed quickly enough. He'd
given her the best police
puppy, KONG" for her own,
and had watched, with a hurt
ing sort of pleasure in her
happiro,o, her gentle, diplo-
matte overtures of friendship
toward the beautiful, bolster
Gus animal. Later, with KONG
at his new owners heels, they
had gone back to the house,
and Lorrimer had deliberately
suffered the racing and bark
ing and general rowdiness Of
the pup, not wishing to spoil
the girls pleasure in her new
possession, and had found to
his own amazement, that once
he made Jap his mind that he
could not permit his nerves to
rule him. he almost forgot the
noisy accompaniment to their
walk.
He was determined not to
refer to the past in the deeply
intimate personal sense. But
he spoke, quite naturally, of
the elapsed years and the
hideouS doubts which had con-
Sumed him. He asked, as
casually as he could manage,
what had happened to the
cousins he remembered so we'll,
and Mary Lou, thanking her
lucky stars for the presence
Of the pup, managed, in her
turn. to answer, her face
averted, and interrupting her
self now and then with COM
mands or comments to KONG.
The Old Story
She had rehearsed her story
time and time again. And
now that she was forced to
give a performance to this par
ticularly important audience,
she found herself doing it cred

DISEASE |SBLAMED
AT BOWLES TRIAL
Woman Demanding $40, 900
Has Brain AiIment, Doc
tor Testifies.

By Stan Correspondent Of The Star
FAIRFAX COUNTY COURT HOUSE,
June 3-The defense Of B. Agee Bowles,
Washington banker, in the $40, 900 dam
age suit brought against him by Mrs.
Mae B. May Of Falls Church was begun
today in Circuit Court as the trial was
resumed after recess since Memorial
day.
In an effort to overthrow testimony
of the plaintiffs physician that Mrs.
Mays paralysis was caused by shock
incident to two visits Bowles Is alleged
to have made to her home in February,
1880. DR.. F. M. Brooks CT Fairfax was
called to the stand by defense counsel
Describes Brain Disease.
The doctor, who is also president of
the National Bank of Fairfax, said Mrs
May is suffering from apoplexy, due
to disease OF the brain, an organic
paralysis"
He told the jury his diagnosis was
based on an examination made at the
home Of Mrs. May on May %. His
testimony contradicted that of DR.. D.
Percy Hickling Of Washington, profess
scr OF mental and nervous diseases at
Georgetown University.
DR.. Hickling had said Mrs. May was
pdTdlyzeQ from Sh0ck which, In his
opinion, had been caused by visits said
to have been made when Bowles &C
cused the plaintiff of spreading stories"
around Fairfax and Falls Church about
him and a woman. The banker is said
to have threatened to have Mrs. May
put in jail.
Bowles TO Testify.
Attorney F. S. McCandlish, counsel
for the plaintiff, cross-examined DR.
Brooks at length in an effort to gain
an admission that shock could have
caused the paralysis. The doctor said
in his opinion a person with a normal
brain could not become paralyzed by
shock
He admitted the condition could have
been caused by relapse from a prev
ious paralytic stroke suffered by Mrs.
May four years ago, but declared the
original stroke must have been caused
by "a diseased brain"
1t was expected that Bowles would
testify in his own defense later this aft
ernoon. and counsel for both sides
hoped to end the case by tomorrow
evening.
