Believed Unmarried A wife who kept her marriage secret for 25 years, until she was a widow, is fighting for a 114.000 estate before Surrogate Wlngate. Flora Callahan, of 287 I. 18lst Bronx, petitioned the Surrogate last Spring to remove Edward F. Callahan as administrator of the estate of his uncle, Bernard T. Callahan, who died in June, 1929.

At the time of his death, the nephew was granted letters of administration when he swore that the decedent left no widow, and that his only heirs were 14 nieces and nephews. Then Mrs. Callahan appeared with records to show that she married Callahan In 1905, that she lived with him only a few weeks but that under the law the estate Is hers. The petition is now being argued. Frederick W.

Sparks is the attorney for the alleged widow, and William Lurle is representing the Commercial Casualty Insurance Company, which supplied the bond when the administration letters were Issued.

She was still young and pretty in spite of the coldness tha' seemed to enwrap her body and soul. She knew she ought not to encourage herself in such thoughts; she knew it was wrong and ungrateful, but she could not help it.

Odd that the fact of one man going away from her should have such power to change her whole outlook! She dined alone that night. She went up to her father once or twice, but he declared that there was nothing wrong with him and that he already felt better. "Why haven't you gone to Jonathan's to dinner?" he asked her, the old troubled look in his eyes, and Priscllla felt instinctively that he did not believe her when she said she had not liked to leave him. "I have Soames," he told her. "And if you wanted to go, my dear He broke off, his unfinished sentence seeming to say that he did not believe she had wanted to.

It was 9 o'clock, and Priscilla was thinking she might as well go to bed, when she heard the bell ring and Jonathan's voice In the hall. She started up in dismay. If he had brought Lena she felt she could not bear it. She was not in a mood to be polite to a girl who had calmly shown her that she was not to be considered. But Jonathan was alone.

He came Into the room quickly and his first words were: "I'm sorry I couldn't get here before. It was difficult to leave." Simple enough words but they aroused a feeling of antagonism in Priscilla heart. "I did not expect you to come at all," she said quickly. "I knew you had people to dinner." 1 "How is your father?" "He's better, thank you. I don't think there was much the matter with him but I didn't like to leave him." There was a little' silence.

Jonathan's awkwardness seemed to have returned to him. "I'm glad, I was afraid he might be seriously 111." He paused but Priscilla looked unfriendly. "My mother sent her love," he added. "Thank you." Another silence; then Priscllla said: "I'm sorry you left your guesU. They cannot be too plea.sed with me for being the cause." He looked pulled.

"I came because I wanted to," he said, and then. "What is the matter, princess?" "The matter? Why, nothing." She turned away with an absurd feeling that she wanted to crv "Won't voi sit down if -you mean to stay?" "If I mean to stay?" He followed her, put his hands on her shoulders and turned her round to him. "What do you mean?" "Only that I thought you would not like to leave your cousin, as this is her first night." She had not mean to say anything so foolish, but she was tired and dispirited, and the words were spoken before she realised how they might be misconstrued. Jonathan was silrnt for a moment, his dark eyes searching her face with a sudden eagerness; then he said hoarsely: "Princess, you're not Jealous?" "Jealous?" Priscilla flushed scarlet. "Jealous! How dare you!" She broke away from him, her hands clenched, her eyes furious.

"Jealous!" she laughed. "Of your cousin, you mean?" There was a cutting Inflection in the words, and she laughed again. "My dear Jonathan, I should never be Jealous of any one, let alone of your cousin. Don't you rather flatter yourself?" "Perhaps I do." The young man was rather white, and that1 queer, hoarse note was still In his voice as he said again: "Perhaps I do rather flatter myself, but all the same all the same, princess, you are jealous of her. No, you need not look like that, nor say that you hate me, as I know you want to.

You're not made of ice as you've tried to make me believe. You're flesh and blood as I am." With a swift movement he took her in his arms, bending her head back against his shoulder and kissing her as he had never dared to kiss her before, her eyes, her throat and her lips.

It gve her a curioui sensation of desertion the big ear drove away Into the darkness, What would Lena talk to htm bout now they were alone? the wondered, and tihen dismissed the thought.

What did it matter anyway? Why should ahe care? She took off her hat and coat and went down to the library. Her father was there In his usual chair by the lire. "Are you ready for tea?" Priscilla asked cheerfully, bending to kisii him: then ahe started bark, struck by his pallor and the feeble look of him. "Darling, aren't you well?" I havn felt very well this afternoon," he admitted, "I don't think want any tea. If you'll ring for Soames Soame was a kind of general factotum who butled when there were special visitors at the Hilltop House, made an attempt at gardening when his rheumatism was not too bad, and valeted Priscllla 'a father.

He arrived solemnly reply to Prlscilla'l ring, and between them they put the old man to bed. There wa no need at all for a doctor, he de-lared. He was Just more tired than usual and wanted to aleep. Outside his door Priscllla anxiously questioned Soames. Do you think there is anything really wrong? Or is he Just tired, as he says?" Soames had no definite opinion to offer; he was a pessimistic soul, "I think the master Is as well as can be expected," he said lugubriously, and Priscilla felt that she could have shaken him.

But at any rate It gave her an excuse not to dine at the Corbies'! She felt a little unkind thrill of satisfaction as she took down the telephone receiver and rang Jonathan. Apparently he was not to be found at the moment, and ahe would not watt. "Just tell him I'm sorry I won be able to come to dinner tonight, please, as my father la not well. Please give my love to Mrs. Corbie." So that was that.

Lena would be able to talk to Jonathan without Interruption for the entire evening. She went up to her father's room again, but the old man was apparently asleep, so she went back to the library and aat down by the fire. Huph was out. It was surprising how very little he troubled about his famllv unless there was something he wanted of them. Priscilla often wondered how ha passed his time, but she never questioned him.

Since her engagement to Jonathan Corbie she and Hugh seemed to have drifted apart. Or had their relationship always been as It was now. only her love for him had blinded her to his selfishness and neglect? Tt seemed to matter so little. She MR, WARREN WOORAV!

Say, you haven't heard anything yet until you've read tha story of Reuben Oetschow. Iron men may coma and go, but the 23-year-old youth from Apple-ton, promises to beat them all with his stirring battle for Ufa. A broken back and a broken neck have been his lot, but he fights on and on. Four years ago, Oetschow was working with a construction company when he fell and was crushed by a pile of rock.

His ribs were crushed and his back was broken, rhysiclans gava up even tha slimmest hopes for his life. But Oetschow recovered and grew strong enough to take up fool bull, made the Ft hurst. College team during his freshman year and rewarded with the captaincy of the college football team and named All Little 19 Conference guard. That comeback alone stamped him as a real Iron man. Last Saturday, In Elmhurst's opening game against Valparaiso University.

Oetschow was ripping up the Hookler line when he got tangled up In a bad Jm. When the Jam was lifted, he lay flat on the ground. His neck was broken and he was paralyzed completely from his shoulders down. Once more, but with conviction, physicians predicted he could not survive. But once more, it looks as If they were wrong.
