money, and he glanced quickly at
her, exclaiming: "Ah, it is age ] ex-
pect that you are thinking Of" Miss
Lawrence suddenly looked indignant.
"Age," she exclaimed. "Oh, dear
me, no. I expect there is very little
difference if we went into the matter -
"You are very kind, he murmured.
"And the children? Do they form
any objection?"
"Sweet little things" cried the
lady, rapturously. "They are the life
of your household. Darlings. I

seized Miss Lawrence's hand, obsery-
ing, "You make me happy. Miss Law.
renee"
She looked very coy and shy. No
doubt she was waiting for something
more. But DR.. Stockton released her
hand and rose to go without the en-
brace she expected
"Ycu have made me happy, Miss
Lawrence" he repeated. 81 hardly
dared to hope for your consent, and,
without 1t. could never have pro-
ceeded in the matter.
A strange speech; but Miss Law
renee was too overcome to notice it,
"Madge," she exclaimed, when they
met at lunch. Madge looked across
the table ct her aunt. She was smil-
ing pensively. 81 am going to be
married" The girl laid down her
knife and fork in utter astonishment.
'Married?" she cried. "To whom?"
CDR. Stockton" returned the lady.
1t was well for Madge that her aunt
was too occupied with thoughts of her
future happiness to note the misery
that came into the girls face. She
longed to be alone, and, after the meal,
pleaded headache and went to her
room. Miss Lawrence was sympa-
thetic with eau dc cologne and smell
ing bottle, and then started on drive
to the nearest town.
Madge felt suffocated indoors, and
went into the garden. She stretched
on bank and looked up at the green
trees and blue sky with a pathetic
gaze. They had no charm for her to-
day. In fact, she saw them not. She
only saw Cyril Stockton's dark eyes.
Why had he looked at her so earnest
ly? Why had he talked with her, and
found her in her walk, and laughed
with her when she was happy? Why
had he pressed her hand. if, after all,
he meant nothing? She had dreamed
of happiness. The awakening was
cruel. She buried her face in her
hands and wept.
"Madge!' She looked up quickly,
then started to her feet and stood
erect, with flashing eyes. Cyril Stock
ton eyed her wonderingly. 1t was a
reception he had not counted on, and
his heart sank. 'Madge," he cried,
'have mistaken your feeling for me?
Do you hate me now you know L am
bold enough to love you!"
1t was Madge's turn for astonish,
ment.
"Me!" she exclaimed "Me! What
do you mean, DR.. Stockholm"
"dasn't Miss Lawrence told you?"
he asked. 81 saw her this morning
and gained her consent to my suit"
Madge came little closer.
"Tell me, "he urged. MAY hope?"
She held out her hand. He drew
her to him and held Ter in long en-
brace.
"Poor Auntie!" murmured Madge.
81 fear she has made slight mistake"

Coming Styles For ChiIdren's Wear.

Some of the thin wash dresses for
girls of all ages show tucks from waist
to hem, and others alternate tucks
with narrow, lace-edged ruffles all the
way up the skirt. Bands of embroid-
cred or lace insertion are now much
used on both waists and skirts. Mar
row ribbons are used as ruflies and
ruches, and are often applied on the
edges of ruffies where the material is
light weight. Lace footing is greatly
used for edging ruffles,> being both
childish in effect and quite an mex
pensive trimming. Beading, with
narrow ribbon run through its meshes,
is quite as popular as last season, and
is used on both washable and stuff
materials. Sashes of oil sorts are
much worn, and are tied at the sides
or back, as one may wish. Occasion
ally one is seen that ties in soft
knot directly in front, and has fringed
ends that reach the bottom of the
dress-skirt. White washable dresses
will be worn quite short, having bows
of colored ribbon and sashes match
ing the color of the stockings, which
this season are brighter than last.
Black stockings are of course worn,
but very gay colors are shown, both
plaided and striped, as well as in solid
effects. Woman's Home Companion.

RUFUS CHOATE.
A Statue Unveiled at Court
House in Boston.
G. O'CONNELL CALVIN

Boston, Oct ia statue of Rufus
Choate was unveiled in the new court
house here today. The GRAFTON Of the
day was delivered by Joseph H. Choate
of New York, nephew of Rufus Choate.
The figure shows Rufus Choate in a
characteristic attitude, one hand grace
fully catching back the lapel of his coat
and the other holding pages of notes.
He is in the act of laying down some
fine points in an argument The pedes-
tai is of marble, and the total height of
the statue and pedestal of about Ia feet
In the course Of Mr. Choate's address
he said:
You will not expect me, upon such an
occasion, to enter upon any narrative
of his illustrious career so familiar to
you all, or to undertake any analysis Of
those remarkable powers which made it
possible.
And his nurture to manhood was
worthy of the child 1t was the nur
ture and admonition of the Lord" From
that rough pine cradle, which is still
preserved in the room where he was
born, to his premature grave at the
age of SO, it was one long course of
training and discipline of mind and
character without pause or rest 1t

back to the first chapter and read once
more how 'in the beginning God ere
ated the heavens and the EARTH and
all that in them is.
And upon this solid rock of the Scrip

nothing could rob him of his one hour

writers Of all ages. How his whole
course OF thought was tinged and en-
bellished with the reflected light of the
great Greek orators, historians and
poets; how Roman history, fresh in his
mind as the events Of yesterday, sup

credit of that grand and universal out
burst of devotion, with which the whole
north sprang to arms in defense of the
constitution and the Union, many years
after his death, when the first shot at
Fort Sumter, like a fire bell i'll the
night, reused them from their slumber
and convinced them that the great cit
abel Of their liberties was in actual

as to his final course in his declining
years, the one great fact can never be
blotted out, that the great work of his
grand and noble life was the defense
Of the constitutional that he came to
be known of all men as it's one defend
er-that for 80 years he preached to
the listening nation the crusade of ma
tionality, and fired New England and
the whole north with it's spirit. He in
spired them to believe that to uphold
and preserve the Union against every
foe was the first duty of the citizen;
that If the Union was saved, all was
saved; that if that was lost, all was
lost He moulded better even than he
knew. 1t was his great brain that de-
| signed, his flaming heart that forged,
his sublime eloquence that welded the
sword, which was at last, when he was
dust, to consummate his life,s work,
and make liberty and union one and

out to his country with the passionate
arClor of a lover. He believed that the

was to her. His best thoughts, his
noblest words, were always for her.
Seven of the best years Of his life, in
the senate and house OF representatives,
at the greatest personal sacrifice, he
gave absolutely to her service. On
every great question that arose, he
made, with infinite study and re-
search, one of the great speeches of the
debate. He commanded the affection
ate regard of his fellows, and OF the
watchful and listening nation.
He, too, preached in season ana OUT

while that great master lived, and,
after his death, he bore aloft the same
standard and maintained the same

He foresaw with clear vision that
the division of the country into geo

war. What he could not see was that
there was no other way-that only by
cutting out slavery by the sword could
America secure liberty and union, too
but to the last drop of his blood and
the last fibre of his being he prayed
and pleaded for the life of the nation,
according to his light, Neither of these
great patriots lived to see the fearful
spectacle which they had so eloquently
deprecated. But when at last the
dread day came, and our young heroes
marched forth to bleed and die for

SURPRISE
For a School
Teacher.
AR EMPRESS GIFT.
Kitchener is Hero Of Hour
Balfour's Dilemma.

1t is highly probable that there
person than Miss Annie Corrigan of
county Meath, Ireland, was the other
day, when she read letter she had
received from Baroness Limpaeek of
Austria The distinguished writer in
formed Miss CorTigan who teaches
school at Ashburn. county Meath, that
the late empress of Austria had left
her an annuity Of $40 sterling.
The empress, as is well known, was
an enthusiastic horsewoman. Some
years ago she visited ireland. bringing
with her a numerous retinue. and she
rode to the hounds an entire season
with the Kildare Hunt Club. Her ma
jesty made friends with everybody who
met her in Ireland, by her plain and
democratic ways and manners, and
she lost no opportunity of studying at
close range the social life Of the peo-
pie and their condition.
The empress dropped in more than
once to see Miss Corrigan teach her
school at Ashburn, and both teacher
and pupils were, of course, delighted
and honored at the interest taken in
them by the imperial visitor. Her ma
jesty was evidently pleased with her
calls to the school and the personality
of the teacher must have favorably
impressed her. This royal annuity OF
500 is q, remarkable reward and will
prove a strong incentive to all teach
ers, whether in Ireland or elsewhere, to
be more than usually gracious TO dis
tinguished strangers when they call
upon them in the class room.
II is only just to say, however, that
no such incentive is required. as a
rule 1t certainly is not in New Eng
land or in Worcester, where at all
times, whether expected or unlocked
for, visitors to the schools be their
heads crowned or without crowns, can
count on reception and visit that
will be both enjoyable and profitable.
To be sure an annuity would be quite
welcome in the hereafter, and no ques-
tons would be asked as to the patri-
clan blueness or plebeian redness OF
the testator's blood, and it should be
understood that a legacy is not tex
pected," after the manner in which
hotel servitors expect their tips.
The lamented Austrian empress has
set a very happy example for other
rich people to follow, whether in Bu-
rope or America.
