Rail Vamp Lured Him; Man Charges In Damase Suit Story of Alleged Intrigue Fol lowing Injury in Accident Told in Complaint Filed In Court. When Patrick Kelly brought suit in district court yesterday for $50, 000 against Stella Summers, the Union Pacific railroad and Jasper F. Cox, claim agent, there came to light a story of alleged intrigue which started in March, 1920, when Patrick was injured while working for the Union Pacific. After the accide.nt, Stella, young and radiant, apparently fell in love with him, induced him to come to Omaha to settle his damage suit for $45,000 against the road, and ar ranged meeting between him and the claim agent, he alleges. Arriving here, she stopped at the Conant; he at the Northwestern hotel. The claim agent offered him $2,000 in settlement, but he refused because he "couldn't buy clothes for such a beautiful girl like, Stella" after they wcrt married. Then one day she opened her bag to powder her face and he saw she had a large roll of money. Suspicious, but still worshipful, he agreed to Stella's plans for them to go to California and be married, he says. But the roll of money and tin meetings with the claim agent had aroused hi? ?uspicicns. "The scheme was," said John Yeiser, Patrick's attorney, "for the girl to get on the train at the start and then drop off at spine station and let Pat go on." Now the love dream of the honest railroad man is broken, but he has $95,000 of damage suits pending where he had only $45,000 before. Sentences Sustained .

Today's talismanic stone, the agate, is said to beV especially lucky for travelers, since it is noted for its power to protect those who journey by land or sea. In modern times it has been accepted as a lucky stone for aviators. Camillo Leonardo and other ancient authorities claimed that it never failed as a protection against lightning. It is also said to bring the happiness of true love to a woman who wears it set in a locket. Today's natal stone, the coral, also exerts protective powers over those who travel. It is said to be partic ularly potent as acharm for those who journey on the water. It brings creat vitality and brilliancy of mind to those born on an anniversary of this date. According to both Oriental and Roman legends, light red or coral pink should be worn today. This color is said to be symbolic of a spirit that overcomes all obstacles, without giving offense to anyone. Today's flower is the pink rose, which is especially lucky for the bride who includes it in her wed ding bouquet. Copyright, 1)21, Whlr SyndleaU, Ins.
