A ROMANCE OF WALES.
The Two Ladies of LlangoIien Who Lived
a Strange Life Together.

The Two Ladies of LlangoIlen Who Lived
Strange Life Together.
Helen Marshall North contributes to
The Century an account of Lady Eleanor
Charlotte Butler and the Hon. Sara
Ponsonby, who, more than o century
ago, ran away from their homes and
settled in the picturesque little town of
Llangollen. They dressed in a strange
costume that was partly made up of
masculine garments. They were visited
by many distinguished people and coz
responded with most of the notables Of
their times. The writer says:
Among their visitors the ladies also
counted certain Sir Alured, a hand
some and interesting but venerable man
at this period Here is romance within
a romance. for of this gallant gentleman
it is said that one Of the princesses fell
desperately in love with him, and her
father, poor old George III, sent the too
fascinating young man away to India,
where there was war at the time, and
whence, therefore. there was some like
hhood that he would not re.Srn. But at
so he came back, still h.yidsome and
fascinating, and was received with dis
tinguished favor by the new king, who
made him a field marshal. OF the
princess and her affection nothing more
is learned.
Sir Alured had long known Lady
Eleanor-indeed, for aught 1 know TO
the contrary, he may have been one Of
the five despairing swains mentioned in
that lady's obituary-and once a year,
usually in October, he came down to
Llangollen to pay his respects to the
two ladies, TO whom the visit was al
ways an occasion Of consequence.
The death of Lady Eleanor was q
grieyous blow to the old man. He came
the year following, however, but was
less gay than usual, and it is even sand
that he neglected TO bestow the usual
parting kiss on his fair entertainer. The
Hon. Sara promptly reminded him of
the oversight, for which be at once
made atonement
Mary Carryl, the faithful servant,
had died in 1909. making the first
change that had occurred in the inmates
OF the household.
Each of the friends wished a picture
OF the other. but neither was willing to
sit for her portrait. By some stratagem
OF friend pictures of the two together
were secured when the ladies were un.
aware.
in June. 1929, at the age of 90, Lady
Eleanor passed away, and. although her
friends surrounded Miss PonsoDby with
every possible kindness. she refused to
be comforted. She was seldom seen ex-
cept by her domestics and survived in
her loneliness only rs months.

A Dog Story.

Two dogs belonging to an Iowa man
disappeared and remained absent for
nine days On the tenth day the man
was surprised to see the dogs coma stag
gering into the house, thin and haggard
looking. Investigation revealed that a
neighbor was out hunting, and on the
banks of a creek his dogs began TO
whine at a hole in TIE ground, and
nothing could make them move away
from the spot Satisfied that something
was wrong, the man procured a spade
and began digging, and the dogs assist
cd him. Fully six feet of earth was
taken away, when he came upon the
imprisoned dogs. II seems that they
chased rabbit into its hurrOw, and in
digging after IL they threw the dirt
back, thus closing up the hole and pre-
venting their own escape. There they
had lain for nine days, and their sur
vival is Il awonderful proof of the tenaci-
~ of life in lower animals.

Climbing.

Selfish ambition may help rs to climb
TO the point where we may be seen, but
it never aids us in climbing to where
we can see. The higher a man gets in
the world in pursuit of selfish aims the
narrower his field Of vision becomes.
The higher he gets in the pursuit of un-
selfish aims the farther he can see
around him. 1t matters little whether
we climb in life if we do not climb to-
ward higher point of vision. Sunday

Scientists think that death by cleo
tricity or lightning is painless They
do not know that is ia so, brt infer that
il is from these facts:
The nerves communicate the sonsa-
ticn cf pain by their vibrations or
movements, which are at The r..ie of 9S
feet per second. Electricity moves IN
coppor wire at the rate Of 2SS, 600 miles
per second. Hcrce il is probable that
strong current Of electricity kills man
before his nerves can make him con-
scions of the shock.

the Royal institution, London. acciden-
tally touched with his shoulder the con-
ductor leading from 10 Leyden jars.

scribes the effect on his body:

The battery was not powerful enough
10 cause death, nor did it cloud Profess

she was playing with the children a
milijiaman, passing, stole leaf and

The colonel was close at hand, and,
hearing the cry, rode up, asking the
reason.

County Roads.

The APPEAL is the first pape, on
record to kick about money spent on
roads.-News.
You are quite right neighbor if YOU
mean the APPEAL is the first paper in
ormspy to Kick about money spent on
roads. The APPEAL is unfortunately
the only paper in Ormsby that DO
tests against needless extravaganza in
me expenditure of County money.
Ihe Empire road was out in very
good order some years ago by Peter.
son ard Muller. In October last the
editor OF the APPEAL was told that a
lot OF useless work was being done on
the road between Carson and Empire.
he rode over it and found a man
blowing up a stretch of road that was
nearly as smooth and level as Main
street. Why a good road should he
plowed up and made over when so
many bad roads need repairing is a
mystery 10 US. The road between
Empire and Lake View was washed
by a freshet last spring. and has
a gully IN the center three feet deep
n four feet wide for hundreds of
yards. but no attempt has been made
to repair it. Teams have to turn ont
the sagebrush. The APPEAL be-
lieves that most of the money spent
last year on the Empire road. was
away.
