abruptly at the sound of an excited
voice down the hall. Miss Flora, evi

was hurrying toward them.

"Taps" Sounded for
Franklin D. Miller,
Civil War Veteran
Franklin Delos's Miller, aged 75
years, of 2436 Patrick avenue, passed
away at the Swedish Mission hos
pital about 1 p. m., last Wednesday,
following an operation occurring the
previous night.
During the civil war, Mr. Miller en
listed and served in Company G, 150th
Ohio volunteer regiment. In 1867. at
Norwalk, O., he married Mary
Wright, later moving to Albion, Neb.
Twenty-eight years ago he moved
to Omaha. By this marriage he is
survived by seven children, the tour
sons being Burd of Minneapolis,
Hiram and Clinton of this city, and
Forest of Salt Lake City, -Utah. The
three daughters are Mrs. Lulu Hoff
man and Mrs. Effie Dinuzzo of this
city, and Mrs. Mable Stocking of
Salt Lake City, Another daughter,
Leora, and Mrs. Miller, the mother
of this large family, passed on some
years ago.
In 1904 Mr. Miller married Co
lumbia Criser. She and two step
children survive him as well as 10
grandchildren and one grandchild.
Mr. Miller was a very devoted
member of the North Side Christian
church. For his age he was a re
markably active man, working at his
trade as a carpenter day after day,
his latest work having been done on
various buildings at Fort Omaha, he
being a member of the carpenters'
union. He possessed a high tenor
'voice and for years has been a much
beloved and appreciated member of
the choir at the church he attended.
He was also a member of the
Menoma chorus.
The funeral services occurred Fri
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the
North Side Christian church, the
burial being in the Grand Army of
the Republic circle at Forest Lawn
cemetery.
Mr. Miller was greatly interested
in the present war and had remarked
many times that he would gladly en
list again were it not for his age.
Shortly before being taken to the
hospital he had received word of the
safe arrival in France of his grand
son. Lieutenant Sidney S. Stocking.
Six Divorce Petitions Are

Minne Lusa Children Are to
Have School of Thair Own
School children of Minne Lusa are
to hold a celebration over securing a
school of their own. The school
board has come to their rescue and,
although it could not build a school
house at this time, it did the next
best thing and moved an old building
onto a lot owned by the city and
there school will be held this winter.
It is located on Twenty-eighth and
Whitmore. Children of this district
have heretofore had to walk across
Miller park to the Miller Park school,
which was quite a walk for some liv
ing on the north side.
Isn't anybody here? Mercy mer she
panted, as she reached the room and
sank into a chair. "Did you ever hear
anything like it in all your life? You
had one,-too, didn't you?" she cried,
her eyes falling on the letter in her
brother's hand. "But 't ain't true, of
course 1"
Miss Flora wore no head-covering.
She wore one glove (wrong side out),
and was carrying the other one. Her
dress, evidently donned hastily for
the street, was unevenly fastened,
showing the topmost button without
a buttonhole.
"Mr. Smith, say it's true," tri
umphed Mellicent.
"How does he know? Who told
him 't was true?" demanded Miss
Flora.
So almost accusing was the look
in her eyes that Mr. Smith actually
blinked a little. He grew visibly con
fused. "Why er ah the letter speaks
for itself, Miss Flora," he stammered.
"But it can't be true." reiterated
Miss Flora. "The idea of a man I
never saw giving me a hundred thou
sand dollars like thatl and Frank
and Jim. tool"
"But he's your cousin you said he
was your cousin," Mr. Smith re
minded her. "And you have his pic
ture in your album. Yon showed it
to me."
"I know it. But my sakes! I didn't
know he knew I was his cousin. I
don't s'pose he's got my picture in his
album I But how did he know about
us? It's some other Flora Blaisdell, I
tellyou."
"There, I never thought of that,"
cried Jane. "It probably is some other
Blaisdells. Well, anyhow, if it is, we
won't have to pay that inheritance
tax. We can save that much."
"Save I Well, what do we lose?" de
manded her husband apoplectically.
At this moment the rattling of the
front-door knob and an imperative
knocking brought Mrs. Jane to her
feet.
"There's Hattie, now, and that
door's locked," she cried, hurrying
into the hall.
When she returned a moment later
Harriet Blaisdell and Bessie were
with her.
There was about Mrs. Harriet
Blaisdell a new, indescribable air of
commanding importance. To Mr.
Smith she appeared to have grown
inches taller.
"Well, I do hope, Jane, now you'll
live in a decent place, she was say
ing, as they entered the room, "and
not oblige your friends to climb up
over a grocery store
"Well, I guess you can stand the
grocery store a tew more days, Hat
tie." observed Frank Blaisdell. dryly,
"How long do you s'pose we'd live
any of us if 't wa'n't for the grocery
stores to feed us? Where s Jimr
"Isn t he here? 1 told him i was
coming here, and to come right over
himself at once; that the very first
thing we must have was a family con
clave, iust ourselves, you know, so as
to jlan what to give out to the pub-
"Er -ah " Mr.' Smith was on his
feet, looking somewhat embarrassed;
"perhaps, then, you would rather I
were not present at the er family
conclave.
"Nonsense 1" scouted Frank Blais
dell.
"Why, you are one of the family;
it seems so," cried Millicent.
"No, indeed. Mr. Smith don't go,"
smiled Mrs. Hattie, pleasantly. "Be
sides, you are interested in what con
cerns us, I know for the book; so, of
course, you 11 be interested in this
leeacv or dear Lousin Stanley s.
Mr. Smith collaosed suddenly be
hind his handkerchief, with one ot the
choking coughs to which he appeared
to be somewhat addicted.
"Ain't you getting a little familiar
with 'dear Cousin Stanley,' Hattie?"
drawled Frank Blaisdell.
Miss Flora leaned forward earn
estly. "But, Hattie, we were just sayin,
fore you came, that it couldn't be
true; that it must mean some other
Blaisdells somewhere."
"Absurd I" scoffed Harriet. "There
couldn't be any other Frank and Jim
and Flora Blaisdell, in a Hillerton,
too. Besides, Jim said over the tele
phone that that was one of the best
law firms in Chicago. Don't you sup
pose they know what they're talking
about? I n sure I think it s quite the
expected thing that he should leave
his money to his own people. Come,
don't let's waste any more time over
that. What we've got to decide is
what to do. First, of course, we must
order some expensive mourning all
around."
"Mourning!" ejaculated an amazed
chorus.
"Oh, great Scott 1" spluttered Mr.
Smith, growing suddenly very red. "I
never thought " He stopped
abruptly, his face almost purple.
But nobody was noticing Mr.
Smith. Bessie Blaisdell had the floor.
"Why, mother. I look perfectly hor
rid in black, you know I do," she was
wailing. "And there's the Gaylords'
uainu juai lie, WCCR , auu li m m
mourning I can't go there, nor any-
"Wait!" Mrs. Harriet had drawn
her brows together in deep thought
"I'm not sure, after all. that it would
be best. The letter did not say that
dear Cousin Stanley had died he
just hadn t been heard from.
"In that case, I don't think we
ought to do it. And it would be too
bad that Gaylord dance is going to
be the biggest thing of the season.
and of course if we were in black
No; on the whole, I think we won t,
Bessie. Of course, in two years from
now, when we get the rest, it will be
different."
"When you what?" It was a
rather startled question from Mr.
Smith.
"Oh, didn't you know? There's an
other letter to be opened in two years
from now, disposing of the rest of the
property. And he was worth millions,
you know, millions!"
"But maybe he er Did it say you
were to to get those millions then?"
"Oh, n it didn't say it, Mr.
Smith." Mrs. Harriet Blaisdell's smile
was a bit condescending. "But of
course we will. We are his kinsmen.
He said we were. He just didn't give
it all now because he wanted to give
himself two more years to come back
in. I suppose. You know he s gone ex
ploring. And, of course, if he hadn't
come back by then, he would be dead.
Then we'd get it all, Oh, yes, we shall
get it. Ira sure.
"Oh-hl" Mr. Smith settled back in
his chair". He looked somewhat non
plussed.
"Humph I Well, I wouldn't spend
the millions till I'd get 'em, Hattie,"
advised her brother-in-law dryly.
"I wasn't intending to, Frank," she
retorted with some dignity. "But
that's neither here nor there. What
we're concerned with now is what to
do with what we have got. Even
this will make a tremendous sensa
tion in Hillerton. It ought to be
written up, of course, for the papers,
and by some one who knows. We
want it done just right. Why, Frank,
do you realize? We shall be rich
rich and all in a flash like this! I
wonder what the Pennocks will say
now about Mellicent's not having
money enough for that precious son
of theirs! Oh I can hardly believe it
yet. And it 11 mean everything to
us. Think what we can do for the
children. Think "
"Aunt Jane, Aunt Jane, is ma
here?" Wide open banged the front
door as Benny bounded down the
hall. "Oh, here you are! Say, is it
true? Tommy Hooker says our
great-grandfather in Africa has died
an' left us a "million dollars, an' that
we're richer 'n Mr. Pennock or even
the Gaylords, or anybody! Is it true?
Is it?"
His mother laughed indulgently.
"Not quite. Benny, though we have
been left a nice little fortune by your
cousin, Stanley G. Fulton remember
the name, dear, your cousin, Stanley
G. Fulton. And it wasn't Africa, it
was South America.
"And did you all get some, too?"
panted Benny, looking eagerly about
him.
"We sure did," nodded his Uncle
Frank, "all but poor Mr. Smith here,
I guess Mr. Stanley G. Fulton didn't
know he was a cousin, too," he
joked, with a wink in Mr. Smtih's
direction.
"But where's Aunt Maggie? Why
ain't she here? She got some, too,
didn't she?" Benny began to look
anxious.
His mother lifted her eyebrows
"No. You forget, my dear. Your
Aunt Maggie is not a Blaisdell at all
She's a Duff a very different fam
ily."
"I don't care, she's just as good
as Blaisdell," cut in Mellicent; "and
she seems like one of us, anyway.
"And she didn't get anything?" be
moaned Benny. "Say," he turned
valiantly to Mr. Smith, "shouldn't
you think we might have given Aunt
Maggie a little of that money?
"I should, indeed!" Mr. Smith
spoke with peculiar emphasis.
"I guess he would if he'd known
herl"
"I'm sure he would!" Once more
the peculiar earnestness vibrated
through Mr. Smith's voice.
"But now he's dead, an' he can't.
I guess if he could see Aunt Maggie
he'd wish he hadn't died 'fore he
could fix her up just as good as the
rest.
"I'm very sure he would!" Mr,
Smith was laughing now. but his
voice was just as emphatic and there
was a sudden flame of color in his
face.
"Your Cousin Stanley isn't dead,
my dear that is, we are not sure he
is dead," spoke up Benny's mother
quickly. "He just has not been heard
from for six months.
"But he must be dead or he'd have
come back,' reasoned Miss Flora,
with worried eyes; "and I, for my
part, think we ought to go into
mourning, too."
"Of course, he'd have come back,"
declared Mrs. Jane, "and kept the
money himself. Don't you suppose
he knew what he'd written in that
letter, and don't you suppose he'd
have saved those $300,000 if he could?
Well, I guess he would! The man is
dead. That's certain enough."
wen, anyhow, we re not going in
to mourning till we have to." Mrs.
Harriets lips snapped together with
firm decision.
"Of course not. I'm sure I don't
see any use in having the money if
we've got to wear black and not sro
anywhere," pouted Bessie.
Are we rich, then, reallv ma?" de
manded Benny.
We certainly are, Benny."
"Richer n the Pennocks?"
"Very much."
"An' the Gaylords?"
"Well hardly that" her face
clouded perceptibly "that is, not un
til we get the rest in two years."
She brightened again.
Then, if were rich we can have
everything we want, can't we?"
Benny s eyes were beeinninar to
sparkle.
Well" hesitated his mother.
"I guess there'll be enousrh t sat
isfy your wants. Benny," laughed his
Uncle frank.
Benny gave a whoop of delight, ,
"Then we can go back to the East
Side and live just as we've a mind
to, without carin' what other folks do,
can't we?" he crowed. "Cause if we
are rich we won't have ter keep tryin'
ter make folks think we are. They'll
know it without our tryin'"
"Benny!" The rest were laughing;
but Benny's mother had raised
shocked hands of protest. "You are
incorrigible, child. The East Side, in
deed 1 We shall live in a house of
our own, now, of course but it won't
be on the East Side."
"And Fred'll go to college," put In
Miss Flora eagerly.
"Yes; and I shall send Bessie to a
fashionable finishing school," bowed
Mrs. Harriet, with a shade of im
portance. "Hey, Bess, you've got to be fin
ished." chuckled Benny.
"What's Mell going to do?" pouted
Bessie, looking not altogether pleased.
"Hasn't she got to be finished, too?"
"Mellicent hasn't got the money to
be finished yet." observed Mrs jane
tersely.
Oh, I don t know what I am going

going to do just what I want to. for
once!"

while they're in style," beamed Miss
t lora.
Frank Blaisdell gave a sudden
laugh.
But what are you going to do,
Flo? Here you've been telling what
everybody else is going to do with the
money.
A blissful sigh, very like Mellicent s
own, passed Miss Flora's lips,
"Oh, I don't know," she breathed in
an awestruck voice. "It don't seem
yet that it's really mine."
"Well, 'tisn't," declared Mrs. Jane
tartly, getting to her feet. "And I, for
one, am going back to work n the
kitchen, where I belong. And well,
if here isn't Jim at last," she broke
off, as her younger brother-in-law
appeared in the doorway.
"You're too late, pa, you're too late'
It's all done," clamored Benny
"They've got everything all settled."
The man in the doorway smiled
"I knew they would have, Benny;
and I haven't been needed, I'm sure
your mother's here."
Mrs. Harriet bridled, but did not
look unplcased.
"But, say, Jim," breathed Miss
Flora, "ain't it wonderful ain't it
perfectly wonderful?"
"It is, indeed very wonderful," re
plied Mr. Jim.
A babel of eager voices arose then
but Mr. Smith was not listening now
He was watching Mr. Jim's face, and
trying to fathom its expression.
A little later, when the women had
gone into the kitchen and Mr. Frank
had clattered back to h s work down
stairs, Mr. Smith thought he had the
explanation of that look on Mr. Jim's
face. Mr. Jim and Bnny were
standing over by the fireplace to
gether.
Pa, ain t you glad about the
money? asked Benny.
i snouia De, snouian t i, my
son?
"But you look- so funny, and you
didn t say anything, hardly.
There was a moment's pause. The
man, with his eyes fixed on the glow
ing coals in the grate, appeared not to
have heard. But in a moment he
said:
"Benny, if a poor old horse had
been climbing a long, long hill all day
with the hot sun on his back, and a
load that dragged and dragged at his
heels, and if he couldn't see a thing
but the dust of the road that blinded
and choked him, and if he just felt
that he couldn't go another step, in
spite of the whip that snapped 'Get
there get there 1" all day in his ears
-how do you suppose that poor old
horse would feel if suddenly the load,
and the whip, and the hill and the
dust disappeared, and he found him
self in the green pasture with the
cool gurgle of water under green
trees in his ears how do vou sun
pose that poor old horse would feel?"
Say, he a like it great, wouldn't
he But, pa, you didn't tell me yet if
you liked the money.
The man stirred, as if waking from
a trance. He threw his arm around
Benny s shoulders.
"Like it? Why, of course, I like
it, Benny, my boy! Why, I'm going
to have time now to get acquainted
with my children!
Across the room Mr. Smith, with a
sudden tightening of his throat,
slipped softly into the hall and thence
to his own room. Mr. Smith, just
then, did not wish to be seen.
