Mrs. Stokes Says She Still Considers Wedlock Is Wonderful Life. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Notwithstanding her own stormy marital experience, Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes, who secured a divorce from her aged and multimil' lionalre husband, W. E. Stokes, after a sensational trial, still believes marriage a wonderful Institution. The beautiful, Titian-haired young woman, who has comes rom Denver to continue her fight against Stokes, annonneed today that she will press for speedy action on her claim for SIOO,OOO a year for the support of herself and her two children and the restoration of her dower right in Stokes’s millions. “I do not think marriage is a failure despite my own tragic experience,” she said in an interview. “I think every one should marry. X can Imagine no happier experience than a happy marriage. MARRIAGE IS WONDERFUL THING. “I believe the institution of marriage a wonderful thing. “May God save other women from my tragic experience;! I underwent indescribable suffering, and yet it has not made me bitter against the world. It has made me more tolerant I cannot feel bitter even against those women who perjiired themselves to testtfy against me in court. I pity them. The da" nf - nomes to every one.” It was the mating of May and Deoemb. r I-.<-i loe young western girl, who inherited part of the fortune of her grandfather, Isaac Elwood, the “barb wire king,” married Stokes, a man about town, angel of chorus girls, already twice divorced and old enough to be her grandparent. “I never said it was disastrous for a girl to marry a man much older than herself, and I do not say It now," the young woman said, continuing her interview. “Just because my own experience was unhappy it does not follow that another girl’s would be. Everything depends on Individuals and circumstances. Every one must frame his own life, and no one can use his own case to give advice to another.” As she sat in her suite in the Hotel Ambassador. Mrs. Stokes looked as young and lovely as in the days when she was one of Denver's most soughtafter belles. Her blue eyes, however, had grown older and sadder. It was suggested that the past had gone, and she still had her life before her. “But can any one ever forget the past?” she asked. “The painful memories and heartbreaks always remain. MAKES FIGHT FOR CHILDREN. “I have come to fight for my children’s rights. For their sakes I shall see it through. It is for them I ask for SIOO,OOO a year—a sum that will be adequate to our needs—and the restoration of my dower right in property worth many millions. I signed a document which Mr. Stokes now claims was a release of this dower right. I was not told this when I signed It. My attorneys will press for early action, so th£t I may quickly be done forever with these painful court proceedings and return to Denver to live In peace with my little

HUNT FOR LOST GOLD MINE IN MEXICAN HILLS Missourians Seek Reputed Treasure Sealed by Spanish Padres. DRILL MARKS GIVE HOPE MACON, Mo., Jan. 2L—Five Missouri brothers are conducting a search for the mythical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, albeit they entertain high hopes of really finding a treasure estimated to be $4,000,000. The treasure was said to have been hidden In an old mine more than two hundred years ago by Spanish missionaries, who were forced to flee for their lives before bands of untamable Apache Indian raiders. The location of the mine, according to the tale, lies about fifteen miles south of the Mexiean border and up in the mountains. The padres buried their treasure, it Is said, and then aealed the mine.

ing conducted. He Is Frank P. Magee, a mining engineer of El Paso. He, together with his assistant, Antonio Mendoza, has presented such evidence of success that Magee's brothers and several El Paso business men are pushing the exploration zealously. Mendoza has been searching for the burled treasure for the past eighteen years. K ank Magee declared in a recent letter written to his brothers, John. J. A. and Vance Magee, all of Macon, that as far as the excavation had proceeded they had found the mine barricaded with heavy cedar and mahogany timbers. Tom Magee of Moberly, another brother, is also interested in the search for gold. AUTHENTIC HISTORY BACK OF GOLD STORY. “There is authentic history that the ore from this mine was so valuable that It was carried by pack mules and ox trains a distance of 1,200 miles foi smelting,” wrote Magee. “I’m banking more on that than I am on finding the millions stored away by the old padres to keep it from falling Into the Indians' hands. So far as our Investigations have progressed the stories of the hidden treasure hnve been borne out, and Senor Mendoza, a capable mining man, is confident that It is here.” Eighteen years ago Meliton Ordaz, a postmaster at Chihuahua City, gave Mendoza the document describing the location where Magee is now conducting his operations, with the understanding that he was to he a partner in the enterprise. It was Ordaz who related the story of the mine being sealed on the approach of hostile tribes of Indiana. SIGNS OF ANCIENT DRILLING AT HAND. The mine Is known as La Mina Perla, and it includes three shafts. The main shaft is through a fissure in the rock. I Signs of ancient drills can he seen on all I sides. In the shafts are numerous wellpresedved ladders made from mahogany and cedar. Presumably the miners of olden times used these ladders to take tbelr ore to the surface. Magee has written that the people along the border are considerably agitated over their explorations and that several news papers have sent writers to see how near they are getting to the treasure. He said that they have worked In nearly GOO feet In one of the shafts and that the cedar and mahogany timbering continues ail the way. One theory, that is given much credence by several mining engineers, has It that the old mine was a rich producer and that a great deal of gold bullion had accumulated and was awaiting shipment to the smelters at Mexico City when news of the raiding Apaches came, and hurried measures were taken to keep the treasure out of the hands of the Indians, who had evidently heard of the contemplated shipment and had made plans to seize it.

MYRA’S FINGERS By A. R . FARL El G H

This weird tale begins with a spiritualistic “circle” In which three of the leading characters participate. Mrs. Campion, a believer in the occult and having clairvoyant tendencies of her own, receives through a medium a message from her former husband, Banjamin. He had been burned to death In a shack. Myra, her daughter, and Arthur Brownson, a newspaper man, have part in the seance, but do not believe In spirit messages. Dr. Abner Campion, a step-brother to Myra’s father, becomes involved In an insurance swindle in connection with the death of Benjamin, whose life was insured for $210,000. Mysteries follow fast upon each other, until a message from the Beyond makes all things clear. Read each day’s installment. CHAPTER V—Continued “He seems to be filled with an Itch to distinguish himself,” said the doctor. “He is the insurance companies' arch spy. He has probably been in Chicago seeking In some way to connect you and your mother with his imaginary crime.” Myra kept silent, ner heart wourd bled too much for her to risk a word. “AVe will fight them to the court of the last resort,” he concluded. “lain with you to the end,” said Myra. She kne;w the nxgive that ’rove her. Much as she desired her SIO,OOO she wished more to punish Arthur Brownson. “There will be some papers to sign," said Abner, “and If I might suggest such a thing, it would be well, in order to create a proper atmosphere in court, to wear mourning for your father. Do not. please, hnve any idea that Mllllcent and I are merely posing in our black. AVe feel Ben's love deeply and pay him this respect.” “Let me take you to my dressamker,” exclaimed MlUleent. "She makes the loveliest mourning.”

CHAPTER VI. Before Myra had paid this visit, Arthur Brownson had sent his card to her room in a West Twelfth street hotel. I It came back to him. marked: I “Miss Campion declines the ‘honor' of ; an Interview with Mr. Brownson.” | While the girl was away he sent It up again and was received by Mrs. Farnham. He was prompt and blunt. "Your daughter has refused to see me,” he said. “1 understand her motives. I do not blame her. Possibly I cannot explain my actions to her satisfaction, but I can watch over her and protect her.” Mrs Farnham oanght the snb-tone of devotion In his accent. “Madam, yon know,” he went on, “the true character of Benjamin Campion. You have hidden it from your daughter. 1 honor you for having done so. You know and I know he was a drunkard and a swindler " “I will not listen to anything against Ben Campion, ne was weak and yielded to temptations, planned, purposed temptations, made to bring him to ruin, to wreck his life and mine.” “AYho was his tempter?” "I will not open that old life. Let it be. It Is over. Ben is dead.” •He is not dead. This Is anew swindle.” “Bc-n Is dead. I tell you. You were present when he appeared to me and pave hls message for Myra.” “Mediums are all frauds How do yon know this Mrs. Atwater Is not in on the game? How do you know that that seance was not part of the scheme to lure you and your daughter Into aiding this conspiracy without your knowledge?” Mrs Farnham was used to disbelief in her phantasms, her own daughter mocked them, so she kept silence. “Can’t you see that they need your respectability, yonr presence, your daughter's Innocence to help them out? Do you know the kind of a woman the widow Is? Let me tell you her life. Millie Campion Is " “Do not slander a good woman, Mr. Brownson!” Myra had entered, unheard. She was I very angry and beautiful, flashing on : his sight by the door and holding It j open, an invitation to leave. “I ren not slander her. Miss Campion j I will go, but let me try to set myself : right. I can understand your feelings I when you learned that I, your Chicago | friend, was the opponent of your friend in New York. There was no attack intended on you. From the beginning we | knew that the swindlers nvre seeking to use you. They could afford to let you have ten thousand dollars If they could snatch two hundred thousand -dollars. I knew you were innocent— '* “And knowing that you professed friendship, played upon that friendship to worm your way Into our confidence, deluded my mother with your medium j accomplice—and all that time you were a spy—” “I was not a spy.” The taunt stung, rankled. “The moment I first looked in yonr eyes I knew yon were good and Innocent. The friendship I sought had nothing to do with the case. My work was finished after our first Interview. I stayed only because of that friendship which was born of that first meeting. That friendship grew as I met you again.” Myra felt the old thrill ss hls frank gaze met her eyes. She felt her certainty weaken Into doubt. "I know I can not move you now M-ss Campion, but some day you will discover who these people are, how they are using you; some day you will find yourself in the darkness. Then call upon Arthur Brownson; just write or say, ‘I need a friend,’ and you will find me proud and happy to he at your servlet.” Again her heart surged. She conic ! almost have stretched out her hand am. . cried, “Be my friend, now.” His next i words chilled her emotion. “I only asked you not to make a friend of this Millie—” “Do not slander the woman who made my father happy—who gave him all she j had to help him to seeeess.”

“I am not thinking of the conspiracy now. I am thinking of the woman. I cannot see a pure Innocent girl like you make a friend of such as Millie Campion. With her past It is Impossible that any good woman should be her friend.” “I will not listen to you, Mr. Brownson.” She left the room abruptly. The door was still open. Arthur turned to Mrs. Farnham. "No, no! Do not appeal to me. It la all a mystery. I cannot understand. Please go.” So Arthur departed. Would hls heart hnve been lightened next day when Myra and her mother returned to Chicago If he had known that all the girl remembered of the Interview, all she cared to remember were his words, “Just write or say *1 need a friend,’ and you will find me happy and proud to be at your service.” CHAPTER VII. The suit of Myra Campion to recover SIO,OOO from the Foresight Life Insurance Company came to trial in January, 1020. The newspapers had been working up Interest with promises of startling revelations, so the courtroom was crowded. Myra, MllUcent and Abner, In heavy mourning, sat together. Mrs. Farnham was by the widow. She had refused Abner's outstretched hand, but she made a friend cf MlUleent. Their common love for Benjamin was a tie. Opposite, among the lawyers for the defense, was Arthur. Myra had to turn her back to keep her eyes from watching him. A gang of the most villainouslooklrg men and women sat near him, apparently waiting to be called as witnesses. A “bunch of yeggs,” she henrd a reporter call them. AA'hat had they to do with the case? Some new Infamy? There were two surprises in the opening address of Myra’s counsel. “The defense alleges.” he said, “that a body, a cadaver, was used to simulate that of the dead Benjamin Campion, was given to the flames as part of a conspiracy to steal a few thousand dollars for this young woman who has devoted herself to alleviating the sufferings of our soldier lads In a foreign land. Gentlemen, one It tie fact destroys that carefully built structure of misrepresentation —the body taken from the shack, gentlemen, was a bleeding body. I have no wish to shock you with grewseme details, but unhappily, duty compels me to go into them. The body of Benjamin Campion, when it was removed from the ashes of the fire was bleeding—a live man had met hls death tn the flames. It was not a bloodless cadaver which had been incinerated. “More than that gentlemen, after we had laid all our proofs of death before this company they still, without the slightest reason, refuse to pay their Jus* debt and asked permission to open the grave of Benjamin Campion and examine the body burled there. The brother and the widow protested against such a descreatlon, but on advice of their coun sel, and strong In their consciousness of Innocence, they consented. The companies believed they would find a strange body, that they would not find the body of Benjamin Campion! Gentlemen, they fulled miserably—the body in the grave was the body of Benjamin Campion They still refused to pay their Just debt to the daughter, to this noble young woman, the angel of the hospitals, and set tip a vile claim that Benjamin Campion is alive and rejoicing in a foreign land, chuckling over the success of a conspiracy concocted by himself, hls brother, hls wife and hls noble daughter—” “Object!” In the tense silence the word was a rifle shot. Arthur Brownson was on hls feet. “Yonr honor, the defense has never claimed, does not claim now, that Miss Campion had anything to with this conspiracy. AVe object to any assertion that we hold her to be one of these swindlers—” "Object, object, we object to the word swindlers.” Silence—after stem gnvellng by the Justice. Formalities took up the first hour, the proving of the issue of the policy, of the payment of the premiums, that Myra was the person named as the beneficiary, etc., etc., etc.

VATICAN ANNULLED HER MARRIAGE

The marriage of Prince Radzlwill to Miss Dorothy Deacon, which took place in 1910, has been annulled by the Sac red Rota tribunal of the Vatican. Miss Deacon was the daughter of the late F. dward Parker Deacon of Boston. She was noted for her beauty and was prominent In society tn London and Paris.

“Richard ScattersP* A thick-set, heavy man in what was evidently his Sunday church suit shambled to the witness stand. “Yes— hls name was Richard Scatters —he lived back of the shore road near Mamaroneck. Business? A little of everything—yes—he let out boats to city fishermen. Boarders? Yes, sometimes. In summer. Dm he have any hoarders on May 26th, 1919? Yes—Mr. and Mrs. Campion. Did he own a shack on the marshes near the Bound? Yes, he did; he had rented It to Benjamin Campion —what for?—why, he understood that Campion was working on some invent’ons and wanted a p'ace where people couldn’t come around snoopin.” So Mr. Scatters went on to tell of the visit of himself anil MlUleent to the shack on the evening of May 26th; how Mr. Campion was taking wet clothes off hls “damp glmcraeks:’’ yes, tiles anr little statues; how he lighted a lamp; how he said he would be up to the house, half a mile away, a littlo later, and how Mrs. Campion and the witness went home to supper. “We was sittln’ down,” he continued, “when we see a kind of a light, more like a glow, through the window. Mrs. Campion says that must be near the shnek and starts runnln’. I run after her. Sure enough it was the shack. Mrs. Campion says. 'I wonder where Bon got to.’ 1 was wonderin' too, because none of us knew he was inside—” A volley of objections. Mr. Scatters was warned to keep to facts. “Some neighbors come up, the Hart boys and old man Elsenlord and I guess Ma Crawford—there were several others. One of the Hart boys says to me, ‘Looks like a man lying down Inside there.’ Mrs. Campion hears and she lets out a shriek and goes for to tear Into the flames. We had all we could do to hold her back. She begins kickin' and yellin' for Ben and had an attack of real hysterics. Old man Elsenlord says, ‘I don’t believe that's no man. Like enough that boarder went back to the house.’ Mrs. Campion busts away for home to see If he got there.” MlUleent had begun to cry convulsively as the story was unrolled. The tears were streaming down Mrs. Farnham's cheeks. Sbe put an arm around the younger woman. Myra, strangly af-

Louise Vallieu. an expert authority on women’s fashions, has arrived here from Paris to open an “Advice Parlor" where ladles may go to learn Just what to wear and how to wear it. Discussing her plan, she said: “I will attempt to tell the ladles how to be well dressed, while I will display a number of gowns and an assortment of modern corsets. They will be models, merely, and not for sale. IncldentaUy, I consider the corset the foundation of style for the well-dressed woman this season." The skating girls In the parks here are wearing knee-length trousers while gliding over the Ice. Sport trousers lead, oi course, In their costumes, but frequently an active little miss is seen In “gym” bloomers, riding breeches and even brother's golf pants. Skirts, they say, are In the way. The girls who had their hair bobbed I are digging out their amputated tresses ' and winding them about their heads. Bobbing has gone the way of all fads. FASHION HINTS FROM PARIS. Because of an Intense rivalry which has developed among the dressmakers, Madeleine Vlonnet has announced a spstem of copyrighting the gowns she niakea. A special lawyer will look after this matter and In aditlon. Madeleine will stamp each gown with her own finger-print In Indelible Ink. A swagger yonth of the better class here has been going about wearing white trousers with hls dinner and dress coats. He has been loudly “razzed” ly the street gamins, but he doesn't seem to mind. He vows the style will become popular and. If he keeps plugging away : at It, maybe It will. There Is a suspicion that he Is In the employ of some maker of men's clothes. A skirt, knre-length and split up the middle, but buttoned, has made Its appearance. It Is so constructed that, when the weared desires, the skirt can be made Into knickerbockers, merely by unbuttoning It and buttontng It again about the limbs. It Is particularly valuable to girls who are athletically Inclined.

I never saw anything to beat it Mary. I can hardly make myself believe that this family has been literaly torn up by its roots and that Henry is all packed ready to leave. There Isn’t the least sign of anything unusual happening.” "Well there would have been all the commotion and confusion you and Henry seem to expect there ought to be If we had been packing and moving the furniture, but you zee there is really only the trunks and ourselves to go.” “But you’d think things would be lost or something,” said Belle helplessly, “and that we would all be flying around looking for things Henry had forgotten to put In his trunk.” "Not in my house,” answered Mrs. Hooper with a note of pride In her tone* “I haven't been running this household on a schedule all these years to have It thrown Into hopeless confusion the first time anything unusual happen*.” “Well It doesn’t seem quite natural,” continued Belle. “I make more mess when I'm packing my suitcase to come down here for a week-end than you have In getting Henry ready for a thousand mile Journey.” “Oh we Just do things differently Bell# that's all,” said Mrs. Hooper, “and If this moving from my old home has made no confusion and upheaval that la visible to the eye you don't want to go away with the idea that I haven't auffered the moat terrible internal turmoil that It Is possl-. ble for any one to Imagine.” “That’s certainly true,” said Henry sympathetically.

I’ve decided to say goodby to him here because there is no sense In my going way up to the station and back again but you will have to go to the city anyhow and It won’t be quite so forlorn for ; him if you go to the overland train i with him.” “Oh I’d lore to do that Henry,” exclaimed Belle brightening at" the prospects of this little visit with her brother. And you really could help me wonderfully If you’d go the dancing claes party with Helen this afternoon in my place,” Mrs. Hooper went on. “I’ve ever so many things to do and I’d like to hav® the few hours with Henry rather than spend them awty from home. I’ll get dinner early and have mother come over and have one last meal together before you and Henry start for the city.” "But will we have time?” Inquired Belle.
