TRUE TO HIS FIRST LOVE.
Strange Romance of the "Father, Of

A touching romance in the life of the Iats
Right Hon. Charles Pelham VilIiers. Faith
er" of the house of commons, says tho
London Telegraph. has been disclosed by
his death. In early life he fell deeply in
love with a Miss Mellish, and his affection
was returned as far as could be done by
a lady who for some reason had taken q
VOW to lead a single life. Mr.. Villiers re-
manned true to his first love. and never
married, and his constancy so touched Miss
Mellish that in her will she left all her
fortune, a considerable one, to him abso-
iutely. He, however, never touched the
money, leaving 1t to accumulate with in
terest. while he lived very simply on hts
own modest revenue supplemented by his
cabinet position. By the time of Mr.. Villiers'
death the capital originally left by Miss
Mellish had grown to a sum considerably
over a quarter of a million sterling. OF
this total he. by his will. left ESQ, 900 to
Rev. Mr.. Montague Villiers. vicar of ST.
PauTs. knightsbridge. and a somewhat
similar sum to Mr.. Ernest ViIliers.

On the way down the steamer met the

Ben's education is not so liberal in the

generality of sailing, so he imagined it
was the America gound up again. and he
at once prepared TO jump overheard and
resume his old quarters, but the crew

An Experienced and Famous Marine

on the Lake.
From the Kansas City Times.
Benjamin Franklin is one of the most
popular sailors on the lakes and is Justly
famous in all the leading ports, both for
his good form and his stock Of elegant
leisure. Ben is dog. big shaggy New
fcundland fellow, as black as coal and the
best-natured creature on four feet. Being
an all-round seagoing dog and dependent
on his manners for his popularity, he has
learned to act the gentleman on all occa-
sions and to demand a gentleman's fare
and treatment.
Ben was a livery stable lump of black
fur as a puppy, as many a city dog must
be to get into the world at all, but he never
liked that style, and was soon lucky
enough to get into family Had the head
of the family not been a lake captain IL is
not likely that Ben would have risen 10
fame afioat, but he somehow managed to
follow Capt. Gibson up the ladder on board
The line steamer Lackawanna when she
came out in 1888, and he has sailed every
season since, for the most part on the
steamer America, which Capt. Gibson
commanded several seasons.
The big Newfoundland likes everything
about sailing but the roll Of the boat in a
his feet or his temper as he should, which
no doubt has something to do with his SUI
preme advantage on Lake Superior one
season. He had long had his sea legs under
him and ought to have known that he was
at bad disadvantage in storm with
neither claws nor arms for anchor but he
wouldn't trust the ship to the crew at such
a time and so he slanted about on deck
with the sea coming over the rail every
few minutes.
OF course, the result of the anxiety on
Ben's part that all should do well was the
usual tragedy. A mighty sea and lurch of
the steamer and the great dog was over
board. 1t was risky TO stop at such a time.
but Capt. Gibson was not the man TO lose
Ben without an effort to save him, SO he
hove 10 and waited, knowing that the dog
was not likely to give il up and go down
without a struggle. The crew soon made
out his black head in the boiling sea and
saw that Ben was making for the steamer.

The discovery of human remains at the
Windsor station of the Great Western rail-

preston that the body may possibly be
