I am so| tired.” | “Do not come near me. If you come up | here I will go where you will' never. find me” That is the reply which Mrs, Webb declares that she received. 8o the patient little woman toled at her bs, wondering how it was all'going to Her harids, which had been soft and white, reddened and she grew bent with weariness. But there was a.pretty 17- year-old daughter who had to.be dressed and a 19-year-old boy. who -had to be helped ous, ahd that kept the Yaithful mother at her drudgery. 3 Mrs, Webb was at her work in the laundry when a_telegram came announc- ing that her uncle, Peter Kimberly, a steel magnate of lowa, had died. She | was left over $300,000. She would have to tofl no longer. She could give her chil- | dren all that she had planned for them in her day dreams. She left the: laundry and the drudgery immediately. Somehow the news got to the husband at Portland. One morning when the door- bell of her beautiful new ‘home rang and the servant announced a visitor, Mrs. Webb was surprised to find it was' her | Does Heart Yes. health; bad blood, your own doctor about taking - Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for th He knows all about We have no secrets!

Byt friends told them that it was best, c | for the sake of the children, that they forget the dark days and begin all over again together. Mrs. Webb was per- suaded, but later decided that she could not forgive her husband nor forget those weary months in the laundry. She took her daughter and came to this city. The husband followed. Seeing that his wife would have none of him, he filed suit for divorce and demanded alimony from the woman:whom he had ecast off. Yesterday o Chickering, Thomas & Gre- gory, M 'Webbls attorneys, filed ‘a cross-complaint, which told of the days in the laundry. Judge Graham granted the woman a restraining order, prohibit- ing the husband visiting”her. She declares that when he came to the house last Saturday he attempted to em- brace her. ‘“‘Viola (hé called her by her first name) let:us forget all this and make up,” he said, o But Mrs. Webb cannot forget. “I think that 1 almost love him still,”” she said. “‘But,” ghe added sorrowfully, “I am sure that he only wants my money.”” iy So the fortune of this modern Cinde- rella is only bringing her more sorrows and more bitterness.

SEARCH FOR YOUNG BIB3 Saloon Man Swears Out War- rant Charging Him With Passing Fraudulent Check CANNOT BE LOCATED Father, Who Is Rich Lum- berman, Says Son Is at Sea on Way, to England If some one would inform the police officials of the whereabouts of Dandridge H. Bibb Jr. of 1118 Sacramento street, son of the president of the California Lum- ber and Milling Company, it would be deemed a favor. A warrant was issued yesterday by Judge Cabaniss on com- plaint of E. R. Schiff, saloon man, who charges the young man with obtaining money under false pretenses. Schiff holds a check of young Bibb's purporting to be on the Western National Bank and calling for $70. The paper s in the name of Bibb's father, and the ac- cuser alleges that if he wanted to deal harshly with the lumberman's son he could prosecute him for forgery and send him to the penitentiary. Bibb, Schiff alleges, has been under cover for some months and he belleves that the father has secreted him away in one of his lumber camps. When he called on the senior Bibb a few days ago to see if he would straighten out his son’'s wrong, Schiff alleges that he was In- formed by the father to go ahead and prosecute the offender. It was last November that, in company with .a woman, Bibb visited Schiff's sa- loon and endeavored to have the proprie- tor cash his check. At first Schiff was reluctant to ‘advance him-—money, but after several young men, who were in the saloon at the time, made known who the stranger was, Schiff took his check. Bibb was . glven $25, as there was $35 coming out of the check for a chauffeur, who had been driving the couple around all the evening, and some refreshments were owed for: When the saloon man called at the bank a few days later to collect, he was in- formed that he had been “bunkoed.”” At first Schiff passed the matter up lightly, thinking that as Bibb's father had big business , interests in this /city he would make good for his son. Weeks passed on and then months and not a word came from young Bibb, notwithstanding Schiff had several persons on his trafl. Schiff finally decided to put the matter up to the elder Bibb, Meeting with no success there, he put the’case in the hands of the - police. It is said that young Bibb has passed out several other bad checks. D. H. Bibb Sr. said he was in no way averse to paying the honest bills con- tracted by his son, but he was most em- phatically opposed to paying bills that the latter was cajoled Into contracting in disreputable resorts. He sald his son has been at sea for three months on his way to England. —_———————— Charitable Socletles at War.

Cook, Tenth Com- | | pany of Coast Artillery, who was re- | cently connected with the killing of George Webster of the same company and was awaiting sentence on a charge | of burglary and highway robbery, | escaped from hls prison guard at the | Presidio ‘yeésterday- morning. He was gone'at Jeast fifteen minutes before he was ed :and an alarm turned in. ['No tra¢e of the missing prisoner could be found. Cook and seven other prisoners were sent to the post hospital under a guard | of four sentinels for treatment. Upon reaching the hospital the guard al- lowed tne prisoners to mingle with the soldiers, who were also waiting thein turn to see the doctor. Cook, who has always been considered a dangerous charycter, - saw his- opportunity, and, dashing up the back stairs, made good | his escape through a window from the second-story of the hospital. Cook was not missed until his turn came for tieatment and his name was called from the guard book. The four sentries—Private Knox of the Sixtieth Company of Coast Artillery, Private Drago of the Twenty-ninth, Private | Murphy of the Thirty-eighth and Pri- vate Bearup of the Twenty-seventh— were immediately locked’ up pending investigation of a board of inquiry. Cook, it is alleged, stole several re- volvers from his company and held up several persons in the Presidio, but failed ,to get anything from any of them. The general court-martial had his case under consideration when he made his escape. He probably would have received about five years at Al- catraz+had he not escaped. The army transport Thomas reached Honolulu on her homeward trip ye: terday morning. Colonel E. E. Dravo, assistant com- missary general and chief commissary of the department, has been granted a leaye of absence for one month. Dur- ing the absence of Colonel Dravo, Ma- jor Charles R.
