Show THE HOUSE OE MINOR. The Unhappy Downfall of the Castle In Which Cd Callahan Last Kestccl His Keeling Brain. The glory of Franklin avenue with all its legends of love and levity, of riot and bloodshed, is fast falling. Old spiders who were among the first to open their gilded doors to the unwary fly have packed their trappings and given way to new and more seductive ones and now Loiter Miner, whose recent tribulations have made terrible ter-rible inroads upon her constitution, constitu-tion, has deserted it. Her recent re-cent experiences have been severe enough to have broken down the stoutest and most invulnerable. It was at her castle, which has since continued to crumble, that Edward Callahan, who was murdered while driving on State road In company with the ravishing .Josie Hill, last rested his reeling brain. Since that time grim disaster has followed fast upon her heels. The castle was shunned as was also the narrow thoroughfare. Lottie was arrested for complicity In the awful deed I but, stood a trial and was discharged, her husband hus-band died while she was locked in prison confines, and finally creditors have kept so close upon her that the doors wero shut in their faces, the curtains drawn and the castle cas-tle abandoned. The place, has been under the constant vigilance of sleuths since the Cullahan tragedy, and while the denizens of the locality rejoice that she, has abandoned them it is doubtful if the marked mansion will ever recover its lost graudeurs. |
