She came to the Far West to live down ber past among strangers. For eight years she lived in Seattle with Henry Jobnson, a bricklayer. They made many friends in the neighborhood of their home, and to all Gladys ¥ps known as “Mrs, Johnson Last spring the Johnsons brought suit against the city of Seattie for injuries to Mrs. Johnson through failing on a defective sidewalk.
