Archie salvation Of their country
or merely love Of excitement. But it
is astonishing to find, in talking with
ex-officers, how many of the other sex
did share the hardships of battle, some
openly confessing their SEX others dis
guised as men. Every one knows of
Belle Boyd, the famous spy, but there
are many whose work was as subtle
and rs daring. Brig. Gen. Baker of
the secret service during the civil war
tells of the work of Miss Ford, who
was divorced little rebel and lived
at Fairfax Court House. Her fathers
home was headquarters for the staff
officers of the union, and Miss Ford
was quite belle among them. She
was, to all purposes, for the union,
and officers believed in her to the ex7

FAIR ONES OF ST. LOUIS.

Some Beauties of q City Noted for
Lovely Women.
st. Louis has more pretty women to
her population than any other city of
the country. The Post-Dispatch of

recently published group picture of
some of the leading beauties of the
city. The same is reproduced on this

very opportune day. Mrs. Donder-
declsen was called away suddenly by
an urgent message, and who should
arrive only few hours later but the
dashing duke de Aubigny in all the
glitter Of his proud position.
OF course, the other rosebuds trcm-
BLEED more than ever NOW that Lulu
was without the watchful eye of a
guardian and quite at liberty to do
ull sorts of unmaidenly things, which
the duke, mnn-like, would take adj
vantage of, and thus, almost before
his trunks were unpacked, they had
decided that Lulu would be his VIC
tim.
Like many another, Flossie believed
that beneath the watchful eye Of a
guardian young woman was safe in
her very fancied inaccessibility, but
was constantly looking for dire re-
suits from momentarily unmatched
weakness.
And so Lulu astonished them all
with her womanly dignity and de-
corum. She, n bud of twenty, ig-
nored the wealthy duke with de-
gree Of we'll bred courtesy that
amazed and even put to shame the
strictest duenna there.
But from the first Belle Graham did
not intend that tho duke should mo-
tee Lulu or her demcanor par
tlcularly, and her regard for Mrs.
Deuches was heightened consider
ably when she surprised that lady

What a disagreeable old woman
Miss Frelinghuysen murmured feel
ingly, and all the other "rosebuds'
whispered in unison, 'fes, indeed!
What dreadful woman for chap
erone! Poor girl, why couldn't she
have chosen some one younger and
more attractive.
But Miss Van Gessner seemed per-
fectly content with her angular duen-
ma; in fact there was n sympathetic
bond between them that was unusual
TO say the least where such extremes
existed.
They had just arrived in Newport
from Miss Van Gessner's stately home
on Fifth avenue, and Mrs. Donder-
declsen, the unattractive chaperone,
was stranger to the inner circle OF
the Four Hundred.
or course her record must be unas-
sailable and her pedigree satisfactory,
or proud old Van Gessner would never
have trusted her to chaperone his
daughter. She was an acquaintance
of Lulu's, made during visit to
school friend in another city, and
Mr.. Van Gessner trusted implicitly to
the ladv's credentials and his daugh-
ter's good taste in the matter, and
Lulu Van Gessner, young, talented
and aristocratic, was apparently
more than satisfied with her some
what eccentric companion.

Robertson said little slangily, and

dear"
Flossie pouted and blushed with
true rosebud modesty.
THE duke may prefer young ladies
under strict surveillance and pay
court in true Spanish fashion by ask
ing The old lady first" she said slow
ly. You know our American indie
pcndence and easy chaperones are
subjects of much contempt to for
eigners who think women incapable
of taking care of the mselves."
But strangely enough the dis
agreeable old woman" whom Lulu
Van Gessner had chosen for chap
erone during her first summer, did
not prove such a monster after all.
On the contrary, she remained in her
room n great deal and only appeared,
as n good chaperone should, at mo-
ments when the young men of the
hotel were gathering dangerously
near her charges chair.
But on these rare occasions 1T was
noticed that the old lady's eyes blazed
with extraordinary Indignation AMI
the curls of her unnistakable wig
danced angrily as she retired with
Lulu to the safety Of her cosy suite.
But fortunately Cor Lulu the dis
