COUNSEL.

Croucning down by the fireplace,
wistful look in your soft gray eyes,
Your lips set firm and puckered face,
"What shall you answer, will adviser"
What shall you answer him? Why, No!
Let him steal a kiss tbs his due-and then,
Give him your hand and let him go,
He is only man amongst other men.
And if you miss him, perchance you may.
One misses flower, shoe, glove,
The working worlds at your feet today,
And works far sweeter than lukewarm
love.
When the right man comes, you will never
doubt,
Won't look puzzled or come to me.
'Tis may go to the right about,
If with that choice, don't agree.
You may tease perhaps may coquet awhile
Most Of us do it, but Love will peep
Through your eyes in sunny smile,
Never were eyes could that secret keep.
Work if you choose for gold or fame,
IT'S the workers guerdon, but close i'm
pearled
Keep the sacred lamp Of true love af1ame
For him you'd single from out the world.

DAT TY KATE.

On Seven Mile Beach, Cape May,
stands a rough locking house built
among the sand dunes in such way
that only its roof and small portions Of
it's walls are visible.
1t is made Up Of wreckage that has
been picked up on the shore, with here
and there a stick Ct lumber that looks
as if it might have come fresh from the
savmill The structure has the appear
ance Of a huge ships cabin. Outside the
door stands bench, we'll worn by fish
ermen, who have for more than dozen
years looked after the welfare Of the &C.
cupant of this modest dwelling, who
goes by the name Of Dafty Kate.
Dafty Kate is a woman about 40
years old, tall, strong and healthy. For
Is years she has lived in the house on
the beach, and many times has she
helped the fishermen row through the
breakers to some fOundered vessel and
save the crew. She is rational enough
Oh most subjects, but she is constant
watcher of the sea, and whenever per-
son comes to her door the first thing she
says is:
"Willie is coming in tonight. The
Firelight is due here a little past s
O'Clock. "
Every night for Is years Dafty Kate
has set on stand built for the pur-
pose in front of the door of her hut a
lantern, which she says will guide Will
lie safely in if the freight should hap
pen to sail in while she is asleep.
The woman's story is an extremely
interesting and pathetic one. Fifteen
years ago she was called the belle c
Cape May. She was the daughter of a
prosperous dealer in oysters, who owned
a number of sloops and was considered
rich.
Kate's parents were very proud OF her.
She was an only child, and they in
dulged her in everything that would add
to her pleasure. There were two suitors
for her hand. One was thrifty young
merchant in a small town near Cape
May, the other was the son of an old sea
captain whose days Of activity were
over and who lived quiet life with his
only son and daughter. A strong at
tachment sprung up between Kate and
the fisherman's daughter, and when the
fisherman S son came home from vOy-
age to the western islands he promptly
fell in love with Kate.
Kate's parents were ambitious for her
to marry money, and they insisted that
she should give the fisherman's son a
cold shoulder and encourage the young
merchant, but the girl refused to do so.
The name of the man to whom Kate
had given her heart was William King,
and when he sailed away one day on a
trip as mate Of the brigantine Sea Foam
she was his promised wife.
Kate's father and mother were glad to
see William go, for that would give the
young merchant an opportunity to press
his suit, and he did, but Kate was true

beavers to reach her.
There were five men in the rigging,
and their shouts for help could be heard
above the roar of the water. 1t was
desperate battle, but finally the yawl
got near enough the foundered craft to
enable tho occupants to make themselves
heard
you'll have to jump and take
chances on our picking you up!' shout
ed one of the boats crew.
"All right" came the reply.
One after another of the men jumped
into the seething waves and was picked
up. The last man was not as easily
caught as the others. He was carried
shoreward by a strong roller, but he
managed to keep his head above water
until the boat got near enough to him to
permit Of one of the men reaching him.
AS he was being hauled over the side
wave threw the boat against his head
and rendered him senseless.
The rescued sailors were landed safe
ly, and the injured man was taken to
Dafty Kate's hut and physician sum-
moned as soon as possible. Tt was
found that the mans skull had been
fractured by coming in contact with the
boat, and the doctor was doubtful to
what extent he was injured.
Three days the sailor lay unconscious,
and all the time Kate was giving him
all the attention possible. On the morn
ing of the fourth day he opened his eyes,
and one of the sailors who was sitting
near him said:
"Do you know me, JACKIE
The wounded man looked at him in a
dazed way and finally answered: my
name ism Jack Who are your
"He amt straight yet," said the
sailor to one of the other men who was
standing near.
"Who are you?' asked the sick man
in as strong voice as he could muster.
Kate. who was engaged at preparing
some food, stepped quickly over to the
cot where the man lay, and taking his
face between her hands, looked intently
into his eyes for few seconds, then
said, "Willie, Willie it's you at last, :"
and then she fell to the floor in faint.
The astonished sailors got the woman
out of the swoon as soon as possible,
and again she stepped to the cot.
eyes, it's Willie" she repeated to
herself, and the man eyed her sharply
as if he was struggling to remember
something. Finally he said:
eyes, that's my name 1t amt
Jack. "
"Don't you know Kate?" asked the
woman eagerly.
The sick man attempted to raise him
self on his elbow, but the effort was too
much for him, and he fell back sense
less.
The man proved to be Dafty Kate's
long lost absent lover, William King.
He was shipwrecked on the voyage to
China Is years ago, and remembers
| nothing of the time between then and
the day that Kate recognized him. His
sailor companions say they only knew
him as John Kane. The physicians
think that when the man was ship
wrecked he received a nervous shock
that wiped out from his memory all the
events of the past, and that the wound
in his head brought him back to where
he was 10 years ago.
Now Willie and Kate are to be mar
ried just as soon as the man is well
enough, and Kate has taken the light in

speech by having the clerk read the

Blue was greatly excited and trembled
as he spoke. he read a letter from
George T. Anthony to Curtis OF New
York saying Governor Smith was
'low in aim and base in practice that
he was degraded in morals and cor
rupt in financial management of the

MRS. WELL1LAN's HISTORY.
Her Actions More or Less Eccentric
During Her Married Life.

Mrs Wellman secured q divorce from
her husband A. O. 1Weilman, July 10.
1895. Mr.. Wellman is an assistant in
the office of santa Fe Treasurer Wild
er. Immediately afterwards she com
menced work as an agent OF the PhOe-
nix Life Insurance company of which
J. q. Halstead was the general mana
ger. She was an excellent cOnversa-
tiOnalist and succeeded well as an insur
ance solicitor While she was in the
employ Of the insurance company she
boarded at the ThrOOp but no one about
the hotel ever suspected that she was
mentally unbalanced. She never talk
ed of her troubles and always seemed
perfectly rational.
Hrs. Wellman had advanced ideas on
religion and is supposed by her ac-
quaintances to have been a theosophist.
She was especially earnest while talk
ing on this theme w hen Mr. HalSt6ad
quit the employ of the Insurance com
pany last fall she also quit and she has
done no work for the company since
Yesterday Mr.. Halstead and his fam
lily left for Buffalo, Penn, and Mrs.
WeIlman went to the hotel to bid the
family good bye. She spoke to Manager
Doolttle as she passed out OF the hotel
with the Ealsteads and said playfulIy
II guess will leave, too" She appear
ed perfectly sane
Mr.. and Mrs. WeHmah were married
at ChilLcOthe, Mo, January A. 1881, but
they separated in 1891 and did not
afterward live together. Mr.. Wellman
allowed his wife S65 a month during the
separation. Mrs. Wellman applied for
the divorce on the ground of abandon
ment Her husband ia his aRdavit
filed after the suit was commenced
charged his wife with gross extrava-
gance. He said that she would buy
large bills of furniture and other ar
ticles and have them charged to him
and he says that the conseq quence was
that he was not able to keep out of
debt.
At one time Mr. Wellman said his
wife opened a boarding house, at an
other a catering establishment and at
still another time an art store, but in
each case the project was dropped be-
fore anything was realized and Mr..
WeIlman had the bills to foot. He said
that against his command she was al
ways embarlking in some scheme to earn
money
The divorce was granted and Mrs
Wellman was allowed $1,000 and the
custody of their child A1yrta who is
now u years old and il was stipulated
that the child should attend Bethany
college.
