COSTUME JEWELRY The Brclxen Engagement By WINIFRED DUNBAR nilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIR Copyrickt. ISSX. Wafltarn Ktwvptr Ualoa. in a trap, that's what I am! vociferated Martin Dalton, "and you've got to help me out of it- Hugh Wayne, lawyer, smiled slightly.

He did not hide an irrepressible sentiment of contempt for his fussy, erratic client. WI heard she was heiress to a big estate," continued Dalton. "Come to find out, she has simply an Interest in a lawsuit that may drag along for years, and when it winds up all the funds will go for litigation. You're my lawyer1 I've come to you for advice. "Well, what do you expect me to doT questioned Wayne.

"I am engaged to Mis Croydon. I want to break the engagement! I want you to help me get it rumored around that I've lost a lot of money. That'll fix things sure! Wayne neither assented nor dissented to this suggestion. He had met Vera Croydon more than once. Her sterling, charitable nature bad appealed to him strongly.

His life had been a lonely one. Jimv be was glad that this peerless woman was not to marry Dalton. During the next two or three days Wayne leiirned how Miss Croydon, her sisters married off, the freshness of girlhood passed away, longing. for a borne and companionship, bad accepted an offer of marriage as a refuge from loneliness. In about a week the town was startled, then interested and then all gossip and tattle over rumors of the financial ruin of Dalton.

Then, one morning, Dalton came into the lawyer's office. "Well, I suppose you know I'm bankrupt!" he gloated. "Yes, it's all over town," nodded Wayne. "I have written to Miss Croydon, telling her of my changed fortunes. I suppose she will be down here to see you, hinting about balm for a broken heart, and all that." "I doubt it," observed Wayne, dry- "Oh, you don't know women as I do! Well, then, if she is at all obstreperous, I'll give her a thousand dollars to let me off.

Fix it up with her. I've had a narrow escape." It was with difficulty that Wayne could endure the coarse, offensive bargaining of the selfish, calcuIatingNDal-ton, but he was his chief client, and it was policy to remain negative. Just as he was leaving his office that afternoon a visitor entered, who seemed to bring with her an air redolent of flowers, the fresh air and the subtle charm of rare womanly dignity and beauty. It was Vera Croydon, and the heart of the young lawyer beat faster as he recognized her. "I have come to ask you to speak for me to Mr.

Dalton," she said with downcast eyes. "In all honor he paid me the compliment of asking me to become his wife. I learn now that he has lost his fortune. I gave my promise I cannot break it. His poverty will make no difference to me." Wayne was amazed.

Then he fancied he read between the lines. This noble woman respected a solemn pledge. She must know she was sacrificing herself, but she stood firm. He would not tell her, of the money offer, of the real sentiments of Dalton. To his intense satisfaction Dalton happened into the office at that moment.

In a polite, easy way, Wayne managed to leave them in consultation. He walked up and down the corridor while they were conversing. Finally, Dalton came out with the activity of a man escaping something he dreaded. "Engagement canceled! Let me off without a penny," jubilated the heartless mercenary. Keen-witted Hugh Wayne could not fail to read the expression of relief he noticed on the face of Miss Croydon, "I fear I have-grazed a serious mistake," she said, with a bright smile, and the soul of Wayne took hope.

Somehow he got to calling upon her. Then he became interested In the great lawsuit, which involved her inherited fortune. One day, several months later, Dalton met the lawyer on the street. I say," he observed, "I see In the papers that Miss Croydon has won her fortune, after all?" "Yes," assented Wayne. Wish rd stuck to her," remarked Dalton.

"You helped as her lawyer, didnt you? Big fee, I suppose? "The best In the world." declared "Do tell what now?" "Herself. Miss Croydon becomes my wife next week." Feb. 28. Mrs. Honstedt came last Thursday and she and Mr.

SOCIAL EVENTS. i More About Younkln.

I have been interested for some time in the discussion through The Times of who, and where, the first child was 'born in the county. As a matter of record, the third edition of the first bi-ennial report of the State Board of Agriculture, page 59. I think settles this question in the following: "First settler, Moses Younkln, 1856; first birth, Edwin Younkln, July, 1856, Grant township, near Wakefield." Yours truly, Wm. Jevons. MAY FIELD.

VanNostin. Edwin Younkln, son of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Younkln, was the first white child born in Clay county, horn December 2, 1858. The first white child to die in Clay county was John A.

Wireless Receiving Plant. Last week Troop Clay Center's cavalry troop of the national guard, ordered a wireless telephone receiving outfit. They expect the material to arrive almost any day now and by the last of the week it may be installed. It will be placed in their armory, on Court street, the old Rex theater building, and will be under charge of Lieut. Guy Logan, who is an electrician and will be general supervisor of the outfit.

The material was ordered from Chicago. The radio concerts sent out by the Kansas City Star last week rather enthused the 'boys and they decided to get into the game at once. An amplifier will be installed so that everybody in the room can hear whatever is received. No sending apparatus has been purchased, but just a receiving plant. It is the plan of the troop to hold concerts.

The troop can listen in any time desired, but it is also planned to hold open evenings when the people of this county generally will be invited to go to the armory and listen to concerts sent out from Kansas City and other places. It is believed Clay Center will be enjoying the finest of music at almost no price. Swenson Brothers' Winners.

The phrase, "In the swim," is very easily understood and is used today, as it has been for many years, to denote that a person is In the midst of prominent activities, either In society, in business or In any other field.

That the origin of the expression had something to do with fish and water Is obvious. It Is presumed that It had been borrowed from the fishermen on the Thames who called those portions of the river wfiere the greatest number of fish could be found, "the swim." The reverse of this saying "to be out of the swim" is taken from the same source. A Thames fisherman who has vainly tried to make a catch remarks that he Is "out of the swim." meaning that he happens to be near a spot where fish are scarce.
