Yat a man lay down his life for his Romance Began in Youth. Joseph Emmett O'Neill and Walter \Howard Stone were born in Fort Col- * % lins, a college town in Celorado. The former was of a wealthy family, which ‘owned great .ranches that reached Across the plain§ into the Rocky moun= tains. The parents of Stone were pi- neers in the community and-in mod- +est-circumstances. The girl in the ro- mance was Marion Palmer, whose fa- er was one of the founders of the %t!)lllege and prominent in Colorado’s ancial and social life. The three milies lived in the same block in ‘ort ‘Collins, and when school' days i Avere over and Marion became Miss _‘Palmer, both young men became suit: " arg for her hand. " Walter Stone became a bank clerk arid was ambitious to rise in his pro- fession. O’'Neill, whose father had died; came into possession of the fam- B y.fortune and the management of the “ amaches. The race was neck-and-neck o¢ ‘Miss Palmer’s hand. 4 Of course, in the nature of things, ¥ that state of affairs could not go on. { Tinally Miss Palmer's heart began to & affect her neutrality. Then she sum- /moned the two young men before her Submitted to an Operation. and ‘demanded that they be friends, ne fratter which was selected to.be her husband. They agreed. Miss Marion, as girls sometimes do, followed the in- clinations of her heart, and selected Stone, whose salary was meager, in preference to O’'Neill and his wealth. Then came the draft. 3 Stone’ was summoned before the fl: draft board and passed. He was } placed in class 1 and filed no-claim for ;{ exemption. O'Neill was examined and ¥ rejected. In February Stone was or- - dered to report. By this time an inter- EEN "és,ting event was presaged in the Stone ome, and he asked for more time. The draft board was powerless, and his wife became seriously ill because of worry. O’Neill was watching. He visited a noted surgeon in Denver and asked for an operation. He was told that his chances for recovery would be two in-five, but he elected the op- eration. O'Nelill Became a Substitute. @ Three weeks after the operation - 'O’Neill returned to Fort Collins, sound and whole, and demanded a new ex- military service.” Then he asked that ~w.titution, but because of the urgent " ppeal of O'Neill they finally sum- joned Stone for re-examination and gave him a deferred classification be- He called Stone from his bank job and placed him in charge of the O'Neill ranches, which yield $50,000 a year. the ranches on a “50-50” basis.
