tyr's grave has beon seized by many on
obscure man or unknown woman OF whom
there is no earthly reward beyond the mere
nnme in tho death list. True, in 1873 it
became more notably true in 1873 that the
names of many of our best and truest are
known to few, or it may ;bo to none save
God only. Of course they aro mono tho
worse for this, but it is the misfortune of the
living to be left without knowledge of any
inspiring example. 1t is with this feeling

such life and DEATH When tho Tobin
family, on Bradford street, were seized with
the fever, thore was of course no provision
for hired nurses, since no ono looked for
the fever so early in tho season. Opposite
to this family, on tho same street, lived
young girl about II years of age, named
Evelyn Widrok, hor father aud little
brother Freddy being tho only other mon..-
bers of tho household. Evelyn had not had
the fever, but she went to her ncishbors in
their distress and remained with them from
tho beginning to the fatal ending. Imme-
diutcly after the last of tho mobns was
buried, tho infection spread to tho family of
Godsey, living next door to tho Widrioks.
Without iaviag rested, Evelyn began duty

~ died, and Victoria, then young mai
den, ascended the throne. 1t had been
planned III diplomatica circles to have her
marry Alexander, brother Of the King of |
the Netherlands; but that project failed,
Tor Prince Albert, Of CobourgL, came to
England in 1889 aud won the heart 0.
England's Queen. On the 18th of October
her Majesty informed the Primo Minister,
Lord Melbourne, Of that important but
delicate fact, and tho following day Tic
Prince had audience with tho Queen.
The twe lovers were placed in very pc
cuiar position.
The social position Of Victoria was so
superior to that Of Prince Albert that he
could not make the first advances, nor Offer
tho lady his hand, as is usually the case
between lovers now-a- days. 1t was rather
for her to make tho proposition and offer
her hand, aud she accomplished the some
what unusual task in very skillful manner.
With Il gracious smile she handed TIC
Prince small bouquet of flowers, which
he placed as near as possible to his heart.
AS he had no baton hole or pocket in that
region Of his close fitting uniform lie took |
his pehknifc, cut slit, aud slipped in the |
precious token. lie thcn expressed his
thaukfuln.ss and pleasure at being SO well
received at the English Court, and cspcci-
ally at his reception by tho Queen, in reply
to which she asksd him the tcll-talc qucs.
ton: "lfthe country plcascs your higLucss
SO well, perhaps you would not object 20 |
remain with us?" The Prince replied that
that was the desire of his life, and the
Queen, feeling that the decisive moment |
had arrived, though quivcriug with womanly
dellcacy, confessed to him honestly her
great love toy him, and assured him that it |
would be the cause Of her greatest happiness
1t he would consent to make tho sacrifice |
necessary to become the husband of the
Queen OF England; for he could be nothing
more than her husband, aud would have
nothing to do with the political affairs.
The Prince was charmed und capituatcd |
Internationally. They wcro married on |
the 10Th of February 1910. Their marri-
age was in every way happy one, and
their welded life unalloycd until death |
seized tho Prince as his prey. Culu,nny
and Intrigue never poisoned the sweetness
Of their family life, which stands to duy as a |
model, not only for crowned heads, but also
for the humblcst Of maDkind.
