CHAPTER XII.


The great event of the year succeeding
was the appearance of the Duchess Of
Hardwood. Miss L'Estrange, the belle
and the heiress, had been very popular,
her Grace Of Hazelwood was more Topu-
lar still.
II the duke had been asked to continue
the history Of his wedding day, he would
have told strange story-how, when
they were in the railway carriage togeth'
er, he had turned to his beautiful young
wife with some loving words on his lips,
and she had cried out that she wanted air,
to let no one come near her-that she had
stretched out her hands wildly, as though
beating off something terrible.
They fell into the general routine OF
life. One loved-the other allowed herself
to be loved. The duke adored his wife,
and she accepted his alteration.
At times, she would tease Lord Arleigh
about his ideal woman; but that was al
ways in her husbands presence.
"You have not found the ideal woman
yet, Norman she would ask him, laugh
ingly; and he would answer. mo. not
yet"
Then the duke would wax eloquent and
tell him that he really knew little of life
that II he wanted to be happy he must
look for q wife.
"You were easily contented," the duch.
ess would say, Norman wants an IDEAL.
You were content with a mere mortal-he
will never be-"
''Then find him an ideal, Philippa,"
would be the dukes reply. you know
some Of the incest girls In London; find
him an ideal among them"
Then TO the beautiful face would come
the strange, brooding smile.
"Give me time" would her gEace Of

Of two of the busiest Of the downtown

Now and then she pressed them wear

The men and women who hurried

pathetically held out was empty. No

Goodnight, Billr' she called gayly,

THE LONE WOMAN TRAVELLER.

The new woman" doesn't propose
to miss the delights of travel simply
for lack protector. She knows
how to take care of herself, and when
she starts off on a little journey nova
days it isn't with the nervous dread
that something's going to happen be-
fore she reaches her destination-if
ever she does, but she proceeds at once
to make herself comfortable and to
thoroughly enjoy her little rub up
against the outside world.
But although she rests secure in a
delightful feeling of safety, it has
never occurred to the general woman
that making her to travel in safety"
is business all in itself.
She may have heard, for example,
that the grea: New York Central
Railroad is the only route in the Unit
ed States that is completely equipped
with the world-famous lock and block
system of signals, but that doesn't
mean anything to her until you ex-
plain that by this system every foot
over which she travels is carefully and
increasingly watched and signaled day
and night, and that collision is prac-
tically impossible, because a train can
not enter given block or section I'M
that even if there should be another
train following on the same track the
engineer knows all about it through
the electric telegraph, which is part
of the system, thus making assurance
doubly sure.
If the lone woman happens to be
going to New York City she need have
no dread of landing alone in the con-
fusion of a big strange place if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one Of the
red-capped attendants-free service
who will carry her bag. answer her
questions and show her to cab, car or
elevated train.
Another thing, she lands right in
the heart of the city within step OF
a dozen or more of its leading hotels
and she should bear in mind that this
is the only railroad depot in all New
York City.
The New York Central might aptly
be called "the lone womans route
