IL your wish proves the same as mine
I'll be your faithful Valentine.

And down by the pansy were her
initials, d. +. L. She had her mothers
good, old-fashioned name, Dorothy. And
now, my dear, comes the strangest part
of the story, but of course you know it
is all true. The next morning after
little Miss L. had gone to her pupils |
went down on the South Side, for | had
the rent to pay and some shopping to
do, and as passed Bascoms window
among other pretty things | saw little
Miss LIS valentines.
"A brown-haired gentleman stood
looking at them quite intently, and as I
hurried along he went into the store.
Well, my shopping took up more time
than | had anticipated, and | went into
Thompsons for lunch and took a seat
at an empty table. Soon after gentle
man seated himself at table opposite
me. | faneied / had seen him some
where, and thought he glanced rather
sharply in my direction. He did this
several times, and decided he must be
looking at some one behind me.
He was one of the particular kind.
my dear, and was some time in selecting
something for his lunch, but finally a
tempting repast was placed before him.
just then lady passed by me, going
ont, and | recognized little Miss l.. /
could not mistake that brown Russian
circular nor the brown velvet hat, with
the long, floating feather, although I
did not see her face.
But think how astonished | was to
see the gentleman opposite me start to
his feet hurry into his overcoat, snatch
his hat, hastily hand the waiter some
money, and, leaving his lunch untasted,
rush out apparently in pursuit of little
Miss L.
We'll, finished my shopping and on
my way to the street-car stopped for a
minute at Bascoms window myself and
saw that little Miss L. valentine with
the pansy was gone.
Then went home, and as | entered
the hall noticed that little Miss L. S door
stood ajar and some one was with her.
Now, | don't think am an eayesdropper.
my dear, and | give you my word | did
not intend to listen while | took off my
cloak and bonnet, but heard manly
voice say: What kind of a feather is
that on your hat, Dot?'
A bird of Paradise, she answered,
but why, Ralph?
That is what | thought, said he. and
| followed it to its home. just then
one of my parcels dropped and the noise
brought little Miss L. to close her door,
but seeing me she insisted on my com
ing in. She held a white card in her
hand, and What do you think, dear Mrs.
Ray?' she said, one of my valentines
has come back to me-
Then she introduced Mr.. Ralph
Ainsworth, and her face was as bright
as sunbeam.
Then there was an explanation and
hearty laugh, and they told me how the
odd valentines first caught his eye, and
the initials D. K. L. took him into the
store to learn the name and address of
the artist on whom he determined to
call as soon after lunch as propriety
would admit, he said.
And of course you guess all the rest,
my dear
She isn't little Miss l.. any longer,
and when they found Mr.. Ray and |
were coming over here on the South
Side they rented that same coy little
fat, and there they are to shis day, as
happy as happy can be.

terms OF the Prince OF Wales treatment OF
women and asserts that be is, in this regard,
simply brute" Among the proofs Of this
is mentioned the fact, that the celebrated
American beauty, Miss Chamberlaine, who
had become notorious for moving about after
the prince, was seated next TO him al a sup
per at ball and said ''in the merest fun /:
Jumbo you eat too much That was enough.
Only the moment before on terms of that IA
miiiar intimacy which any man might be
glad 10 be with young and pretty girl, he
turned his shoulder 10 her without reply, and,
from that on, so far As he was concerned, the
famous Miss Cham erlaine was incontinent-
ly dropped. After that, there wasn't any
thing left but for her father and mother To
take her home" We should think so! and
she had better be kept there till she learns
how TO behave.

Especial Telegram 70 the Globe
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Congressman Sprin-
ger, Rigs aud Worthington, all Democratic
members from this state. arrived at the
Palmer house this morning and left for
Washington this afternoon. Il was their
opinion that the coming session would be
brief and unproductive of particular interest.
Mr.. Springer said there were bills enough in
the house which the senate had alrea dy
passed to occupy six months of talk and
consideration. He doubted whether any
new measures could be introduced
since there would be no time before
adjournment TO bring them to final passage.
II left over they would have 20 be introduced
anew into the next congress, and it was 4
waste OF time to submit them now.
''What action is likely 10 be taken,; Mr.
Springer was asked, lin the matter of the
tariffl'
81 have no doubt" he answered, ''that
Mr.. Hewitt's bill, which is now before the
ways and means committee, viii be reported
one way or another. II it is, we can get al
the matter and act on it before the session is
over. What this action will be
depends largely on the character
of the bill, and no one can tell
yet what changes the ways and means have
decided 10 make. Congress has also TO pass
some sort of measure this winter by which
the duty on certain American articles, speci-
fed in the Mexican treaty to be sent into
Mexico free. shall be abolished, so as to con-
form with the treaty. This treaty was rati-
fed by the senate, but It cannot be operative
until the articles 1t indicates as exchange for
Mexican articles are put upon the
free list. This, presume, will
not require a great deal Of time,
the general appropriation bills are also to be
passed. They cover no little ground. Alto
gether we have quite enough 10 do"
The three congressman were very much
interested in the Illinois legislative question.
After discussing the new phases in the case,
Mr.. Springer said that he had been mention ed
for the senatorship.
''Were there grounds for itl'' was asked.

ton always was in that direction thin X,
myself, that Gov. Cleveland could no. do

The Chicago Contest Case.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.--The Daily Ns.cs,
Springfield dispatch, says the Brand-Leman
case was reached by the state board of can
vassers this morning. The members of the
Cook county canvassihg board arrived early
and corrected the errors and then they
were stopped by the state board, who pro-
ceeded TO canvass the vote of Cook county
for congressman. When this was com Dleted
the attorney for Lemon outlined the char
acter of the alleged frauds in
the Eighteenth ward, and asked
that the members Of the county canvassing
board be directed to give testimony as TO the
condition of the tally sheets and poll books
canyassed by them. The board decided 10
hear this testimony subject to the legal rights
Of the board TO consider this testimony here
after. The members Of the county board
proceeded to describe some of the apparent
changes on the poll book. The members,
when questioned, stated the friends of
Leman had offered to produce
testimony showing fraud and
that the returns were forged, but they decid-
ed they had no right to hear testimony and
were compelled TO accept the face of the re
turns as valid. The attorney for Lemau
then asked the clerk of the state board TO
read the affidavits showing fraud in the dis
puted precincts. Mr.. Oberly, chairman of
the Democratic central committee, demand
ed what right they had TO hear the testimony,
TO which the attorney for Leman
replied the board had distinctly re-
served the right to pass upon
legal bearing of the testimony and its right
to consider it as a canvassing board for fu-
ture consideration. The afiidavits were then
read, in an endeavor 10 show fraud, and one
expert declared the name OF Strausser, the
Republican judge, was not signed by the
same person on both poll book ana tally sheet
and an affidavit of $50 pc rsons
was also read who declared they voted for
Leman. The afidavits of the supervisors of
election were also read, showing Leman re-
ceiyed 420 votes. Chairman 0berly said he
would present the affidavit of Strausser,
showing he had signed both poll book aud
tally sheet. Adjourned 10 $50 p. m.
AT the afternoon session Oberly presented
an affidavit by Strausser, swearing his sigma
ture 10 the poll book was genuine. GOV.
Hamilton said the signature to the poll book
was not the one in question, but that to the
tally sheet. When the Thirteenth district
was reached G. A. Knapp, candidate for leg
islature, presented an affidavit that a change
in the tally sheet in his precinct had taken
ninety votes from him and elected another
man, and that there were no erasures on the
tally sheet when the footings were made.
Klupp said, outside Of his affidavit he be-
lieved the changes were made after the papers
left the hands of the judges OF election. The
further consideration of both matters was
postponed till Friday. The remainder of the
canvass will be resumed tomorrow.
