WILLIAM MORAN'S; ROMANCE How the Seattle Shipbuilder Loved and Lost a Kansas Maiden and After Many Years Married Her Daughter. Thl. I. a true .tory of a builder of battleship, and a girl on a Wyandotte county farm. Tboms. Mown, of Mo ran Uroi,, the great .hlpbulldlng firm of Seattle, Wash., who have- the con tract for building the Nebraska, la the man In the cane. The woman la but thut's the (tory bre to be told. About 2S year, ago, back In Tork Ktnte, two boya who had a stepmother, set out for the we.t. They had heard much of the great west, and with boyish hope, they went to aeek their fortune. The Moron boya were of Irish stock and plurk to the back bone. Tramp fashion the boya made their way aa fur aa Kanma City, and crow ing the line Into Kansaa found work on a farm. Will Moran " became a "hund" for Thomas Wataon In Wyan dotte county, nenr the little atatlon of Wallula, now on the Kanaaa City Northwestern railway. The other lad round work with Henry Volght; a neighbor of the Wateona. They bad lived the llve of tramps and they liked It, but they were willing to work and that made up for all among the farmer folk with whom they had cast their lot. The moat priceless treasure on a Kansas farm, or any other farm for that matter, la a good, ateady farm hand, who will "pitch In with all hie might" In the buy aeaaon. The Moran boy. pitched In. Thomaa Wataon, Will's employer. had a beautiful daughter, Just merg ing Into young womanhood. Alice waa her father. Idol, and the Wataon'e be ing of the old eouth and of cavalier (tork, nothing wai too good for the dark-eyed girl who waa the life of the home. Aa might be expected. Will Moran, rugged Irish-American, tramp farm hand, fell In love with the beau tiful Alice. The farm hand looked and loved In alienee. Not by a word did he Intimate to Alice Wataon that he loved her. The altuatlon becume eo imhAnrable that he must disclose hla regard for the girl. Then he thought of the father. A kindly man to be aure but with all hie aouthern dignity and appreciation of the difference In aoclnl position of a farm hand and the daughter of a landowner. The young Irishman's heart failed him. He could not ak for the hand of the girl, and he could no longer atay where he mud aee her every day. He gath ered hla little bundle of belonging.. nd, with hla brother, left for the far wed. Not a word of hla attaenmeni did he whisper to any of the family before he left, not even to the girl her self. His one Idea waa that aome day. hen he had won wealth and honor he might come back and plead his cause. And so the Morans passed out of that quiet country neighborhood that hud known them only aa farm labor- era. It wa. not long oerore iney were forgotten In the little community about Walula. It waa a drifting life for a few years, but alwaya further westward the Moran. worked their way. Work ing a while and then moving on, at Seattle they met the ocean and there they atayed. The opportunity came, and the Moran boy. began aa appren tice. In a shipyard. Later they darted In business for themselves, In a mod est way, to be aure, but the little firm had In pluck and ability what It lacked In capital. Today they build steel (hip. that are known In the Pa cific trnde. and recently the Vnlted Htatee government awarded the build ing of the new battleship Nebraaka, a 1,8000,000 or nearly $4,000,000 contract, which to rapidly nearlng completion In tbelr yards. In ali fhese year. Will Moran had never relinquished bis dream of a dark-eyed Kansas girl be bad learned to love while be waa a farm hand. One day there came the Impulse to aee the old farmhouse back In Kansas, and, perhaps, tha sweetheart of hi. early youth, Alice Watson. When be came Into the Wataon neighborhood In Wyandotte county where be used to work, he waa, of course, not recog nized. He had gone away from there a "hired man," be now returned a mil lionaire shipbuilder. Hie first disappointment came when he learned that hi. old sweetheart bad married a young farmer of the neigh borhoodWilliamson , by name- shortly after he and bla brother had gone away. A family of children bad grown up around them. A tenant oc cupied the old Watson homestead and the old farmer had retired from the farm to try hi. fortune In a shoe shop at 611 East fifteenth street. With the charm of old association, upon him, William Moran visited the home of the Williamson family and waa heartily received. In the presence of her hus band and children. Mra. Alice William son heard for the first time of the affnctlon the farm hand had had for her when she was a girl at home. Grace Williamson, the oldest daugh ter of Mra. Alice Wataon Wllllamaon, waa almost an Image of her mother at the same age. Mr. Moran eaw this re semblance at once and, although he said nothing at their first meeting, his heart went out to the beautiful young woman. He lingered In the neighbor hood several week, renewing old ac quaintance and cultivating the friend ship of Grace Williamson. When he went away it waa with the request t.ut e might come again to visit her. This he did (ome month, later, and Moran, offering bl. band In marriage, was accepted. About a year ago, it was September It, 1903, there waa a wedding out at the Williamson home, when the beautiful young woman, Grace Williamson be came the wife of the prosperous .hip- builder, William Moran. They are living In Seattle. Victoria Colonist "SPIRITS" CAUSE GIRL'S DEATH. 8evere Strain en Nervee Results in Victim Jumping Into Lake. Geneva, Nov. 11.
