At the outbreak of the Civil war, he enlisted with Company Ninth Illinois cavalry, for an army career lasting four years. He was wounded In the right arm at Pontotoc, and subsequently, with General Thomas at Nashville and during a battle there, received his second wound, a gun shot thru the left side.

His valor in action earned recognition and he was promoted to second lieutenant and later to first lieutenant While in the army, Abbot studied law and upon hia discharge, returned to Belvidere, 111., and was admitted to the bar. Later, he came to Grand Island where his legal acumen soon stamped him as one of the leading lawyers in the state. Aa early as 1868, he practiced before the district court at Columbus and at the first session of the district court held in Grand Island the same year. Mr. Abbott was prominent In political, civic and social circles at Grand Island.

He was a charter member of the Liederkranz society, the oldest social organization in the city. He was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Griffin of Sycamore, on Feb, 9, 1873, a college graduate and the first president of the Grand Island library board. Four children were born: Othman, court reporter, Edith, writer and educator of Chicago, and author of "Women in Industry," Grace, advisor during the World war to the labor policy board and prominent on the department of labor advisory staff at Washington, and Arthur Grand Island attorney.

The Arnolds smiled absently.

They didn't know who she was! Felice then led her distinguished guests to their room and then Joined Sherry In the living room. Carl had gone to the office early that morning. "They don't know who I am," aid Sherry quietly. "Probobly think you're a neighborhood debutante," smiled Felice. "What do you think of them? This la my first meeting with them, too, and I'm Interested in them only because of your Tony and their Tony.

Sherry, I know this is very trying for you." At dinner Sherry sat next to Mrs. Arnold and gave her secret glances, admiring her kood looks. She was amused at Mr. Arnold, who looked at her admiringly. "It only he know that his son's eyes used to look at me that way, too." Mrs.

Arnold said, "I've been thinking," looking at Sherry. "Haven't I heard you sing over the radio?" Sherry said, "Yes, I sing over the radio." Mr. Arnold chuckled. "I would say that you sing as tho your heart was In it" Felice and Carl could scarcely conceal their amusement "Would you," Tony's mother asked, "sing for us after dinner?" Sherry was glad after she had sung a few songs that the Arnolds retired early. Mrs.

Arnold was not well and her husband said, "I tried to persuade her to stay in Boston but she Insisted In accompanying me." And Tony's mother had said, "It must be a sign of approaching senility not to be satisfied in one's own home." Sherry saw them go upstairs together, Mrs. Arnold's lace dinner dress trailing the steps, her arm thru her husband's. She said to Carl, "They didn't ostracize me because I'm a night club singer." "I coul dtell they thought you a very refined girl. Forgive Felice and me for being amused. We know it wasn't an amusing situation for you." "I'm amused myself, but the Joke Is on me.

I'm not laughing at them. Have you ever liked people you had made up your mind to dislike? I couldn't hate two people who are old and sick, even tho they made a terrible mistake with the boy I happen to love." The next afternoon when Felice was showing Mr. Arnold the farm, Sherry came out on the side veranda and found herself alone with Tony's mother. In the cruel daylight Mrs. Arnold looked tired and old despite her expensive clothes and well groomed appearance.

Sherry thought "It's wonderful to grow old gracefully. This woman's hands have never worked and my mother's hands worked for Tony, this woman's son, wb.es she would have nothing to do with him." Could she help but feel bitter toward this woman? Mrs. Arnold looked up from the magazine on her lap and said, "You interest me. You seem to be such a nice girl, my dear. I didn't think that sunburned bodies and clear eyes and refusal of cigarets went with -being a professional Sherry sat on the ledge of the veranda.

She said: "If I had been a nurse or a secretary, I could have supported only myself. But by commercializing what little talent I have, I have been able to help a great many others." She thought: "I helped your son, Mrs. Arnold, when he was sick and broke. My singing paid for his room and his meals."

When Nebraska first cast about for leaders in Its fight for statehood. It chose a coterie of pioneers whose services have constituted a brilliant chapter of the state's history and service.

One of these men was Othman A. Abbott, a Canadian by birth, but in life's service one of the outstanding Ne-braskans. It was Mr. Abbott who was first given the honor and task of being Nebraska's lieutenant governor, and it was Mr. Abbott who served Nebraska at its first and second constitutional conventions.

In fact, Mr. Abbott's entire life was spent in service to the land of his adoption. He served with distinction during the Civil war, served with brilliance at the bar in Hall county, served in the state senate in 1872, was one of the leaders in the incorporation of Grand Island as a village, and in Masonic affairs played a leading role for years. Mr. Abbott was born at Hatley, Quebec, Canada, on Sept.

19, 1842, of English ancestry. At an early age, his parents moved1 to Dekalb county, Illinois, and young Abbott devoted his time between farm work, and attendance at local THE QUESTION OF U. 8.

YOUR PROBLEMS By Mary Gordon Dear Mary: Some time ago because of a serious illness I had to go away from my husband and child and live in a different state for a while. While here I have met a man who at first did not appeal to me at all but who has by his devotion and tenderness made me very fond of him. At first I could see many faults In him but now he seems almost perfect to me in every way.

Try as I will, I cannot make up my mind to go back home. I keep thinking of excuses and putting off the evil day. It seems that I want to be with this man more and more. He begs me to stay here with him for at least another two months.

If you had met him at home you would not have given him a second thought, infatuation is not real happiness. After all, you love your husband and child. You may no longer see any faults in this man but what would you call hia urging you to stay another two months when your duty calls you home? At present home and family may seem unromantic but in the long run they will be most satisfying. Women who have had experience would tell you so and urge you to go home at once.

Hardly worth while to try it before 10 p. m. Get a comfortable position in bed and repeat over and over, "I want to go to sleep, I want to go to sleep." Keep it up as long aa you can.

A. This recipe for sleeplessness comes all the way from Florida. We thank you. Banana Skyscraper Sundae. 1 tablespoon syrup (chocolate, pineapple or other flavor.) 1 "ball" vanilla ice cream.

1 rips banana, quartered. 1 "ball" chocolate ice cream. 2 tablespoons syrup. Whipped cream. Maraschino cherry.

Place the tablespoon of syrup in bottom of a tall glass dish. Put in the "ball" of vanilla ice cream (if you haven't a "scoop" use a large tablespoon.) Quarter one ripe banana by cutting once lengthwise and once crosswise. Place the quarters upright on the ice cream, with the points of the banana upward and the cut side next to the glass. Put a ball of chocolate ice cream (or any other flavor) top of vanilla ice cream, between pieces of banana. Cover with 2 tablespoons of fruit or chocolate syrup.

Top with whipped cream and garnish with a cherry. ON CONTRACT CULBERTSON rIS often a question whether a player should make a Penalty Double or be satisfied with an undoubted set. Frequently, the double enables declarer to fulfill an otherwise un-makabla contract. It clear-1 shows where the strength lies and this information becomes Invalu able to declarer in making a "close" contract. SQUEEZE FOB SIX On the hand below Sonth made six notrump by successfully playing for a squeeze rather than a simple finesse because an unwise double by West marked him with certain high cards.

South saw he had eleven tricks, with a possible heart finesse for the twelfth, but because of the double he felt sure West must hold the heart King. He won the trick with the Ace 6f diamonds In his own hand and ran off three spade tricks and six club 1 8. West was squeezed and could not keep both high diamonds and a guard tor the heart King, so he bared down to the diamond Queen and was immediately thrown In with it.

This forced him to lead up to Sonth's heart tenace, giving South the last two tricks and fulfilling the contract. Comment Had West kept two high diamonds and the lone King of hearts, Sonth would hare played his Ace of hearts, dropping the blank King and thus making the heart Queen goed for the twelfth trick. Had West not doubled, it is possible declarer would have played the hand in the earns way, but after the diamond King is opened It seema more logical to play East for the heart King rather than assume West holds all the strength.

Uncle Wiggily was sure, then, an adventure was hiding in it. He called again: "Come out, I tell you!" All at once a voice In the bush said: "No! No! I'm not coming out!

He saw a rabbit lady! "Oh! Wiggy! Wiggy!" cried his wife. "I thought you were a Bear and I was sorry I had come out to look for an adventure. Oh, I'm so glad it's you! Take me home!" "Ha! Ha!

"Good-bye!" said Nurse Jane catching hold of the milk pitcher by its nose before it could go roller skating with the bread knife. "Where are you going?" asked UncleWigglly's wife as she looked at the clock to see If Its face needed washing. "Out to find an adventure," answered Mr.

Then Uncle Wiggily's wife dropped the dish towel and said: "I'm going. Nurse Jane." "Going where?" asked the muskrat lady. "To look for an adventure!" said Mrs. Longears with a laugh. "I don't see why Wiggy should be the only one In this bungalow to have adventures.

But do you know how to look for adventures?" "Goodness knows," aaid Mrs. Longears, "I have heard Wiggy tell, often enough, how he finds adventurea.
