THIS HAS HAPPENED
Sybil Thome. Boston society
girl, hai had a dramatic and tragic
life. Wbeo she was very young she
fell dfsperatt-ly la luve with a aol
dVr John Lawrence, who went to
France with the A. E. V. on the
tery eve of their marriage and
never returned.
Years later Sybil married Rich
ard Euetts, philanderer and adven
turer, after a five day courtship.
They lived together only two
weeks. A son was born, whom Syb
il named for her own dead father.
When little Teddy was a year old.
fcvfbil decided to divorce her hus
band. It was a highly sensational
case. Kustis, In return, brought
suit against Craig Newhall for'Jwd' wouldn't believe him.
SloO.OOO, alleging alienation of
Sybil's affections. Craig had loved
Sybil tenderly and devotedly for
years, but was guiltless of Eustis'
contentious.
Finally the day comes to bring
It all to court. Sybil sits with her
family, awaiting the arrival of her
husband. Suddenly tragic news is
brought to the Judge's bench. Rich
ard Eustis, motoring from New
Haven with his attorney, has been
killed in an automobile accldtnt.
Sybil offends her family and
scandalizes her friends by going
that night to the theater, and giv
ing a tea on the day of her hus
band's funeral.
Her friend, Mabel Blake. Is
apartment hunting, and aska Sybil
to accompany her. The real estate
agent is to call for them.
When he opens the door, Sybil
shrieks "John!"
He rtcognizes her, and falls,
fainting, in the doorwny.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLII
It was Mabel who lifted the still
figure, and pressed ber handker
chief to the blood that trickled
from his forehead.
There's whisky In the decanter." j
she said. "In the highboy, Sib. Get
it between his lips. No. here let
me do It. Got some water.'
The two girls knelt over f him.
and Mabel's compassionate glance
was divided between the boy who
lay like a corpse and the girl who
looked l'ke death. Presently his
evelids fluttered, and he gazed
wild-eyed Into Sybil's face.
"It's YOU?" he whispered.
" She wet his cheeks with her
tears as she cradled his head in
her arms. They were alone. Mabel
had taken Teddy, and left them.
John Lawrence passed his hand
wearily across his forehead. Gaied
absently at the blood that streaked
his fingers, and turned like a won
dering child to Sybil.
"I forgot," he said. "It's very
strange. The war and everything.
It was all before the war, wasn't
It?"
She nodded. Somewhere she had
read stories about amnesia. Once
long ago she had believed John
would come bark. But nobody ever
did only in bonks and movies.
And thoBP ntoriea about amnesia.

ATTEMPTED TO BREAK
INTO LOCAL STORE
Evidently bent on burglary,
someone attempted to break Into
the Klce Bros. & Aduina store
here at about 2:30 Monday morn
ing. Only the rrcnence of Acting
Marshal J. M. Martin, who was
J sleeping In the store, prevented
uie nuempi irom ueiug successiui.
Mr. Martin, who was sleeping in
the store, was aroused by some
one working at the front door. He
saw a man s legs through the gla.45
door when he turned a flashlight
upon htm, but the fellow broke
and ran, disappearing around the
corner of the store as Mr. Martin
rushed to a wiudow to get a better
view of him.
Marshal Martin then rushed
downstairs but the party had so
damaged the door lock that It was
some time before he could get out
of the store and attempt capture
of the man.
