WILL FIGHT FoR HIS LADY FAIR

If the story they tell i'm London is
true. all lovers OF romance will watch
with interest the career of Niscount
Crchton OF the guards. who has just
departed with his regiment for South
Africa. The story is that Miss May
Goelet has promised 10 marry him il
ne returns with the Victoria cross.
As Miss Goelet is young and pretty
and will have a fortune OF $50. 1000
under her fathers will. the promise
should be a sufficient incentive TO gall
lantry If the decoration Itself were not.
Just how Lord Crichton is expected To
go about winning the Victoria cross is
not explained. Very likely he can earn
IL If ne can get chance. but the OPP
portunities for special distinction do not
always come for the seeking even to
noblemen of the guards.
Anyway. the story is pretty one
as far as IL goes. and If IL shall go
further IL will be prettier stll. AS they
tell II in London. they evidently recog-
nize there that there are some things
an American heiress will prize more
than a title. Kind hearts are more than
coronets but a V. c. is something worth
the seeking.

Harden yourself: build up your con-
