She was romantic, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Her father was mill
ionaire whose life had been devoted to
sausage-raising. He was practical nat
urally, but all the poetry of her family
was right in her. She was beloved by
another millionaire's son, but she had
been reading romances and stuff, and
when he proposed to her she declared
he must do something poetical for her.

Become a poor artist.'
II couldn't be any other kind of an

81 mean you must pretend to be a
poor artist. Pa does not know you. You
must come and make love to me, and L
will fall in love with you. Pa will OBJ
ject and make row. We will elope
and get married, and when it is all over
we'll tell him, and it will be delightful"
And so he became poor artist and
took poor studio, and daubed on can
vas and pretended to paint pictures.
And there was another milliOnaire'S
daughter got to coming to his studio
and sitting for her picture. In those
delightful little tete-a-tetes he forgot all
about the romantic maiden, and when
the romantic maiden came one night i'll
peasant costume as sweet surprise to
run away with him she found he was
married to the other girl and had gone
off on his honeymoon. She thinks that
romances are all lies now, and that
nothing happens in real life as it hap

REWARDING A BRAVE GIRL
A Young Lady of Toronto Is Re-
warded by the Royal Humane

Society.
The dry and business-like proceed
ingS of the city council were yesterday
evening agreeably interrupted by a very
pleasing ceremony, the presentation of
the bronze medal and certificate of the
Royal Humane society, London, Eng,
to Miss Mabel Andrews, for her heroic
efforts in the saving of the life of the
child Edna Scanlon, at the mouth of
the Beaver river, Georgian bay, on the
9th of June last, says the Toronto EN-
pire. The circumstances attending the
rescue were of the most heroic charac-
ter. At dusk on the evening in question
the child Scanlon, who was not more
than nine years of age, with half dozen
other children of the same age, was pad
ding about in flat-bottOmed boat, when
Edna Scanlon and a little lad named
Phillips fell out. The children were
about a hundred yards from the shore
at the time of the accident, and of
those who st6ed watching their Strug-
giles in the water the only one to plunge
into the stream and swim to their
rescue was Miss Mabel Andrews.
There were from two to three fathOms
of water where the children fell in, but
Miss Andrews, being an expert swimmer,
did not fear the depth so long as precious
life was to be saved. On reaching
the children Edna Scanlon had been left
to her own resources by her brave little
companion, who was Thoroughly eX-
hausted in his efforts to save hid friend.
When reached by Miss Andrews Edna
was in drowning condition, and her
last desperate efforts for life rendered
more difficult the task of her gallant
rescuer. The child grasped Miss An
drews with that tenacity peculiar
to a drowning mortal, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that the
little one was brought to shore, where
the young lady and her half-drowned
charge were received with enthusiasm.
Miss Andrews, a prepoSSesSing young
lady not long out of her teens, is the
daughter of Mr.. Andrews, Late of Winch
ton hall, Hemstead, England, and sister
of Ernest Andrews. OF the Ontario bank,
Toronto.
