I am now nursing. His name is Sydney Carton, and he got smashed up in an automobile .accident and was brought in here about two weeks ago. It seems he’s quite a man in this town, but at that, for a long time we could not •find who or what he was. He had .nothing dp him that means real identification until we telegraphed for a man named John Alden Prescott. Vhose card we found in the automobile. , . „ . Friends Flock in Mr. Prescott came down immedi'atelv, and identified him. and then ihis friends began to flock in. For a Qong time he was in a comatose state. IT; Nobody could understand why he liras out driving alone at that time ,bf night; in fact, it looked as though he had gotten up. hurriedly in some old clothing, and started out for a long, reckless drive in his motor. His friend. Mr. Prescott, says he is not a drinking man. and he has had no money troubles—in fact, he is quite wealthy—and he cannot understand what Is the matter with him. Once in a while he speaks the name of “Jack” and then again he will murmur the name of “Leslie.” Mr. Prescott says that Leslie is the jiame of his wife, and that they were all preat friends. You can imagine how surprised I was. day before yesterday, when I found Mr. Carton looking at me with Utterly sane eyes. He asked me If he had been delirious. I told him he had Jain almost in a state of coma, ®nd had only mentioned th words "Jack” and “Leslie” occasionally.

Asleep - He gave me the same explanation of his using these names as did Mr. Prescott. I told him Mr. Prescott was here, and explained to him how jhe had been found. He tokl me he didn't remember taking the car out at all; said he must have been walking In his sleep, and asked immediately to see his friend. Mr. Prescott, . I told him I did not think he was well enough to see his friend, and that he was liable. If he ran the least temperature, to beoome delirious. At this he seemed very much worried, and made me promise, if he showed the slightest Indication of becoming delirious, I would not let any of his friends in to see him. He made such an ado about it, that I solemnly took oath that I would see that none of them, not even Mr. Prescott, should see -him when he ■was not himself. I think he worried so about the matter that he did not become delirious again, but two or three times he dozed off into a kind of half slecpIhg, half waking condition, and then he would whisper the name “Leslie.” He never mentioned his friend Jack again. v This morning, however, he seemed much better, and I think he will be taken to his apartment this afternoon. Here comes the doctor —will finish after he has gone. - (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT: LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT TO ' LESLIE iPRESCOTT.

■ Martha Lee Says m Getting Married Always Gambling for Happiness

Discouraged by what she lias seen of married life, a young girl wonders whether she had not better break her engagement and risk finding happiness as an “old maid.”

No matter how carefully a woman may choose her husband, no matter how carefully a man may choose his wife, marriage is a gamble. The young bride and bridegroom cannot look into the future, to read the changes the years will make in their characters. They can only gamble with Fate. ' But that is no reason for condemning marriage. Neither is the fact that many marriages do result unhappily. It is reason for exercising great care and being very certain of love, before marrying. The average woman's life is not complete without marriage, even in this “modern ’ age. The divorce records sometimes make us forget the many marriages that do result happily. Gambling With Fate Dear Miss Lee: I have been engaged to a fellow for two years. He seenio ail right but I have no confidence in men when it comes to marrying. I hold a position where I am thrpvn in contact with numerous married couples. The men try to flirt with me the minute their wives’ backs are turned. One couple restored my eonhdence in married life and I began to think seriously of it The man treated her with respect. She was a very good woman and you could see she idolized him. Then, when she would come in he would barely look around, and he would scowl. But when I came in. he would grin all over, and jolly me. So I became disgusted with the thought of marrying. Some women seem to stand for anything just because they are married. But when I see them treated the way some men treat their wives. I would like to yet hold of them and shake some pep into them. Strange to say. it is always the good women who get the least notice. Miss Lee, would you marry a man who bawled you out in front of strangers and made you feel like a. whipped cur, or would vou live an “old maid” for the rest of your daygf OLD MAID 29. I most certainly would not marry a man who humiliated me. But it does not necessarily follow that I would be an “old maid.” Marriage is a gamble. Some of the women into whom you would like to “shake some pep” probably would profit much if you did. A woman can not hold a husband’s love just by being good. Os course, the fact that his wife lacks “pep” does not excusf a man’s unfaithfulness. However, it does explain it frequently. Do you think you would be happy as an "old maid?” That is one question to consider, in deciding what to do with your ire.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES’

Ardent Suitor Dear Madam: I am a young man of 23 and have had company with several girl friends. About six months ago I mot a real nice young girl of about 19. She has had company with a young man of IS* for about three years. She tolcL me she went with him only to make h mail out of him. He says he will not give her up until she ia married He has humored her all the time —talus her any place she asks to go. She has said she did not love him. as she loves me. I treat her nice and buy nice presents for her. She still wants to have dates with him. Am I foolish to buy her nice present* and not have dates with other girls? Is a girl of that age old enough to realize what true love is and not to love two men at once? W. L. A. Some girls of 19 are mature enough to know true love; most of them are not. This girl evidently is not In love. You cannot expect her to give up other men friends until she is engaged. If you enjoy her friendship enough to want to give her presents, that is up to you. You are under no obligations not to call on other girls, if you enjoy their company. Madame Grundy Frowns Dear Martha Lee: Recently I took a young girl boarder to a dinner-dance given by my church. Asa matter ol courtesy, 1 Invited her boy friend. During the dinner, the girl told me her foot was troubling her and she feared slio could not dance. Immediately after dinner, sue and her friend disappeared and remained out of sight the greater part of the evening, making no explanation. Afterward. I learned they had been on the stage In the auditorium, quite apart from the dance hall. Was this showing me the proper respect, and. much more important was it protecting her good name? PERHAPS OLD FASHIONED. It was not. And you are not particulaiiv “old-fashioned.” The girl and boy were unpardonably rude as well as indiscreet. Dance Etiquette Dear Mis* Lee: I take a young lady to dances. In a crowd where I am better acquainted th in she Is. I am not what is called a “good mixer," but I introduce -ome of the men to her. I should like an occasional dance with other girls, but do r.ot like to leave her sitting out How should I proceed to get her a partner? QUIET. It Is customary, at dances nowadays, for the men to “exchange" dances. Naturally, a man tries to arrange as pleasant a program as possible* for his partner. At the same time he may obtain dances with girls with whom he particularly desires to dance.

Ramsey are the only Republicans remaining in the race for nomination for treasurer. Henry M. Cochrane, 205 E. Thirty Fourth St., and Thomas J. Moore, 408 Ruskin PL, withdrew Friday. Thomas J. Dugan, 2538 W. Washington St., withdrew from the race for Democratic nomination for coroner. The fight for precinct committeemen in the Republican machine resulted in the withdrawal of seventeen aspirants, due to “freeze-outs” pressure from faction bosses compromises and “double-cross.” Committeemen Are Pawns The 206 precinct committeemen are the pawns in the chess game to win Republican county chairmanship betw’een George V. Coffin, anti-Shank and pro-Jackson, and William H. Freeman, present chairman. Freeman is ! charged by his opponents with fight-, 'ing tooth and nail, under direction of William H. Arm it age and Leo K. Fes- ! ler, ex-county auditor, to throw Marion County for Shank. Illustrative of the fight for a committeeman’s vote is the battle being j waged in the Fourth Precinct of the" Second Ward by the Jackson and Shank factions, through the county leaders, Coffin and Freeman.
