The one-half which the widow is allowed, however, must be probated, and it is chargeable with its pro- ortionate share of the debts of her hus- and. Thus it i{s that when a man dies with many debts his widow may receive little of bis estate, for the debts must be patd rst. If a man dies Intestate, leaving a wife and one child, they share equally the estate. If there are more than one child the wife is entitled by law to one-third the estate. The remainder is divided equally among the children. If any of the children should be dead, but having children, these children receive their parent’'s share of the estate. 1f a man dies without a will and leaves a father, mother, brothers or sisters, they take legally one-half of his_estaté and one-half goes to the wife when he has no children. If, however, the deceased man has no father or mother or brothers or sisters, all his estate, after his debts are pal goes to his wife. If a man or woman dles leaving no heirs the estate goes to the Public Administra- tor's care and after being administered upon becomes a part of the school fund. One very peculiar law in California is in the following case: A widow, having children, marries a widower with children. The couple have other children of their own, making three separate groups of children. 'i‘he man or woman dies without hav- ing made a will. All three groups of children are equal heirs at law, although one grou{) of children would be no Tela- ticn to the man, and one group no rela- tion to the woman. Another case.is that kindred of the half- blood inherit equally with those of the whole blood, when there. is no will, unless it can be proven that the deceased person inherited the money from some ancestor. In this case the inheritance goes only to those of the same blood as the ancestor. Another thing which few women know. If a woman, a native American, marries an unnaturalized foreigner she becomes the subject of her husband’s country. If he dies she is still not an American citi- zen, except by act of Congress. This was the case with Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, who was naturalized by a special act of Congress. 4 Bup's &ossIp. EAREST Marguerite: “Dull, dul- ler, dullest”” is the way Mabel dolefully dubs this last week. Of a truth it has not been thrill- ingly gay for the little girl. The other buds have not yet burst their “sub rosa.” She did not even go to the second Miller cotillon last night. Nor for the matter of that did I. The girls threatened, wheeled and ecajoled in vain. If we all wore pinafores and played “ring-around- the-rosie,” I might go. But the little girls and boys who belong to the class in- sist on making believe grown up. They make believe so successfully that I feel like the “leading juvenile So I sent | my regrets neatly done up with a bottle of “Mellen’s food."” I have been at the tennis club almost every morning this week. The ladies’ COLLECTING A FUND FOR HOWARD GOULD. Kansas Women Are Enthusiastic Over His Marriage With TIliss Katherine Clemmons and They Want to Reimburse Him in a Ileasure for the $5,000,000 He Lost From the Estate for Marrying Her Without the Comsent of the Family. Special to the Sunday Call. ICHITA, Kans., Oct. 21.—One of the most unique of all unique plans has been start- ed by Kansas women. It is to reimburse Howard Gould partially for what money he lost by marrying Miss Katherine Clemmons | against the wishes of his brother and sister and thus losing five million dol- lars, according to the provisions of their father’s will. The plan was started by Mrs. W. Fugene Stanley, the wife of the candi- date for Governor on the Republican ticket, and is fostered by Mrs. Mary E. Lease, ex-Governor Morril’'s wife, and other prominent society women of the State. Mrs. Stanley in an interview with a Sunday Call representative spoke about this scheme enthusiastically. She said: “People may call Kansans unique and all that, but we are going to let the world know that we are in favor of love matches just the same. There has been altogether too much of this mar- rying of titles and money without the least bit of love attached. It is sim- ply barbarous, and Kansas women are going to put their stamp of approval upon this marriage between Mr. Gould and Miss Clemmons. “We are proud of Mr. Gould's heroic action, and will do all we can to repay him for the money he has lost. Of course we have no idea that we can raise anything like $5,000,000, but a por- tion of it we are quite sure can be se- cured. “The money will be raised by giving church socials and home talent enter- tainments.” The movement was started last week by giving a big church social here, at which about $200 was raised. At To- peka, Leavenworth and other Karnsas towns reports are coming that the movement is becoming very popular, and everybody is with the women in the work. A committee has already been ap- pointed to take care of the funds until several thousand dollars are raised, when it will be sent as a wedding pres- er;; to the millionaire’s son and his wife. Law For WoMEN To the feminine mind the workings of the law are fearful and wonderful. There are a few things a woman who has enough money to her name to pay a law- ver his fee for settling up her estate should know. She should, before every other thing, make her will. It will cost her say from $5 to $15, and save no end of trouble and expense after her death. She may, with a little care, avoid the trouble to her heirs which occurred in a recent case. lady came to California for her health, bringing as an attendant only a trained nurse. Her property con- sisted mostly in personal property and money invested in California. She died, leaving no will. Two sons, her heirs, residents of another State, at once wired to friends of the family for help in the emergency and to attend to their mother’s funeral and burial. The deceased, hovever, living in a hotel, died with her board bill unpaid, naturally enough. There were the usual outstand- ing bills as well and plenty of money on | hand to pa" all the debts. | The family friend was surprised to find | that, although he had instructions from | the woman's heirs, he was unable to carry out thelr wishes. Everything was by law delegated to the Public Adminis- trator. He had authority to attend to the burial of the dead lady, to pay her debts, collect her rents and administer upon her estate, He was allowed 7 per cent of the first thousand dollars of the appraised value of the estate and 5 per cent on large sums. He was allowed besides attorney’s fees and all expenses. When the two sons at last got their inheritance it was smaller by a good many dollars than when their mother died | besides all their trouble and the unpleas. antness of having & stranger as admini: trator. An unmarried woman dying without a will would leave her non-resident heirs in_the same condition. If a woman dles the entire community property belong to her surviving husband wltgout the trouble of an administration or_the expense of letters of probate. ‘When a man dies, however, the widow is not so nicely provided for. Only one- half of the community property goes to her, the remainder going to her hus- single tournament is to be played next Wednesday afternocn. There has been some splendid practice work and every one predicts a lively game. I have a bet with Dick of a new hat that Alice Hoff- man wins the match. I wanted to bet my head, but Dick preferred the hat, as that has a market value. Dick pins his faith to Winifred Mason, who will play against Alice. The gecond match will be played by Miss Hunter and Ruth Foster. The winner of this match will play Miss Hoftm Miss Mason. s S Peg, you're a fraud! Have I not told you all the gossip that has reached my ears and more too for the matter of that? You have known all along that Clementina Kip was engaged to Surgeon Edle, U, S. A.

The girls told me they were going to look you up as soon as they arrived. I was not surprised that the officers on the Oregon gave Mae a luncheon, nor that you all en- joyed it so much. ' The naval officers, singly and collectively, have always been devoted to Mae Weldon. There is a story that bobs up from the briny deep to the effect that she reciprocates singly, and that the lucky officer—but I think it's all a fish story. Mr. and Mrs. George Crocker and the Rutherford girls are back in town. They do not know just how long they will re- main.

Papa and I went for a walk the other morning and dropped in at a sanitarium to see Ned Greenway. He was threat- ened with pneumonia and went there to take an ounce of prevention. We found him up on the roof garden. I told him that at a roof garden one expected to be entertained, so he did a shuffle just to show that his feet had not lost their cunning. He really looked rather badly, just a trifle thinner, for which he is grateful. He is taking horseback rides and every other sort of exercise that re- duces ayoirdupois. We talked about the cotillons, and T shocked papa by saying that the women only come to show off their clothes, and the men to get something to eat, for the suppers at the Greenway affairs are still things to smack the lips over for days afterward. 1 advised Mr. Greenway to tell the men to try the free lunch coun- | ters; they're not so good, of course, but chedper. For the men are to be taxed $20 this season. free lunches that sum would buy instead of eating it all at once and nursing an outraged digestion. Mr. Greenway promised to take Mabel under his protecting wing, and see whether_she would prove as unmanage- able as I did. He declared he was going to give up society. Well, he won't lose much, but society will lose it tar mem- ber when Ned Greenway says “Farewell. 1 have given you all the flotsam and jetsam that has drifted my way, but as you see there is not a very large haul of gossip.

By Alice Rix. Continued From Page Seventeen. landed that Parker, you know! Those anarchists are the dregs of the earth, though—the lowest grade to which a man can come in my opinion, as far as his preparation for crime is concerned. You see they're fanatics. They're ab- solutely careless of consequences. They'd go to the stake, they'd hang, they’d rot their lives out in jails, they'd be fired out of a cannon—what do they care for any kind of death? They've got a mission. They're sure of that much, and all the suffering that comes to them out of fulfilling it is so much glory for the cause. You take my word for it, any kind of a criminal is a bet- ter man than an anarchist!” “And the Mollie Maguires? You were with your father in that fight, weren't you?” “Oh, yes,” answered Mr. Pinkerton, indifferently. . “That was a desperate battle!” ‘Oh, yess"” “And, as I remember, you wiped out the whole organization.” “Yes,! “T've forgotten the details.” “Twelve executions. Thirty arrests.” “On!" . But the great detective was looking languidly out of the window. The Mol- lie Maguires fatigued him. I remem- bered the interest he had manifested in the three thousand banks (with whom the Pinkertons do business), the Jewel- ers’ Protective Association and the nice intricacies of his pet case. He spoke up promptly to my thought. “That was pretty rough work in those days,” he said. “The work we are en- gaged in now is of course of quite an- other sort. It takes more brains and less muscle, although we have some good hard fights to fight, too.” “I suppose you are always prepared?” “Prepared?” “Armed.” “I never carry a gun. I don’t allow our men to carry weapons either. It would hurt us considerably. It looks amateurish .and undignified. If we know that we have a fight on with des- perate criminals we prepare for it Otherwise we take chances. “‘And of course you are never recog- nized?” “What?"” “Why, you have all sorts of disguises, don’t you?” “Oh, that is all child’s play. We dress inconspicuously with regard to the class of people we're going among, that is all.” “‘But you are so well known, person- ally, Mr. Pinkerton.” “I? I rarely leave the office myself,” replied Mr. Pinkerton, gently reproving. “‘Ah, of course!” I said, looking at the big emerald. “All those old ideas have about passed away,” he resumed thought- fully, “and—it seems an odd thing to say—but there's a great difference, too, in the methods of crime. Modern | them—to keep up with it. crime is more brain work and less des- perate risk. We can afford to change our methods—in fact, we must change Instead of cracking a safe now the bank robber puts on a pair of rubber soled shoes and walks right in behind a cashier and lifts a tray of twenties in broad day- light. And if he’s an experienced hand }';e r-lgn do it more than once in the same ank. “We caught one bank sneak who had been operating successfully all over the country, by getting the banks to display dummies with gilded wood twenties. These sneaks get everything down fine to make no noise. They know the average weight of a bank tray, and their hands are trained to lift it quick. When this sneak picked up the dummy the lightness of it gave him a surprise. He missedhis guard and was caught standing and shaking. Even that was what we counted o Modern thieving is a very neat bus ness. Here was one of our big New York brokers sitting at his desk. with an open box holding about $15,000 worth of securities on the top of it, and a friend sittine talking with him, and the broker reaches up after t securiti and says: ‘My God! wher that of securities!” “And his friend sav ‘Why! one of your clerks just steppe in from the other office and took the box out with him.” And that was a game that some office sneak had work- ed all through Chicago, St. Louis and St. Paul. “We landed him on that job. You may notice that you don’t hear so much nowadays about counterfeit bills. That is, the old style. Your modern counter- feiter is an artist. He takes the real bill and paints it over. We were after a trio of confidence workers who had one of the rummest games I ever heard of. There were two men and a girl. One of the men was an artist counter- feiter, and he’d paint a two-dollar bill over into a twenty so neat that nobody could see the trick through a magnify- ing glass. Then the other man and the girl would get married. They’'d pay the minister with the bogus twenty and get from fifteen to seventeen fifty in change. They were married in every town they, came to, and they'd been nearly ail over America when we netted them. I could tell you a hundred cases just to show you how times have echanged since—" Mr. Pinkerton paused and looked at the portrait on the wall “since I worked,” hesaid, “with father. There was the keen eye—the eye that never slept. “What would he have thought of it?"” T asked. “Father?” said Mr. William A. Pin- kerton of the famous Pinkerton De- tective Agency, of the Jewelers’ Pro- tective Association, of the Jewelers’ Security Alliance, of the American Bankers’ Union. “Why! nothing ever really surprised father.”
