She was Lord Umfraville's only I'M
married daughter and. being the
youngest, had been spoilt and petted
during Infancy, neglected whilst her
sisters went to their balls and recep-
tions, and then suddenly found herself
on her mothers death, mistress OF tnes
house. 1t was bad training, but the
result was on the whole better than
might have been expected. Lady Mil.
dred was very charming and not at
all arrogant, though she was rather
selfish.
The Umfraville family was in bad
way, having the misfortune to possess
property in Ireland For the last Few
years the tendency Of affairs had peen
down, down-hopelessly down. Lady
Mildred knew that 1t was she who was
expected to retrieve the family for
tunes and. it was this. fact which. just
now weighed upon her mind, for she
had been SO foolish as to fall in love
with her mothers cousin, Valdane
MartineaiI. j
sValdane was what Lord Umfraville
would have superciliously called an
impossible" person. So secure had he
been of the "impossibility" OF this
young man that he invited him each
year to Clarindale, feeling confident
that no daughter of his would think OIL
a young man who was solicitor, and
only moderately well off. He Ignored
the fact that the man had the manners
of an aristocrat, the bearing of per-
feet gentleman, the experience of a
man of the world and the reputation OF
being irresistible. To Lady Mildred,
alas, he was irresistible! She had
succumbed to his influence before she
knew it. Now it seemed as if she
could not break free. 49,
Accustomed as she was to admira-
ton, she never doubted that he more
than reciprocated this partiality. 1t
had, therefore, been a decided surprise

In French medical journal NJ. Bo.s-
sier relates the following remarkable
case. which is an addition to the
group of cases in which sudden loss
of hair or change Of its color followed
mental shock. The subject was a Wig
orous peasant, aged So years, who was
not of a nervous temperament beyond
being slightly emotional His hair was
abundant, and a dark chestnut col
or and not even slightly interspersed
with white filaments. One evening, as
he was returning home, preceded by his
mule, on which was mounted his SON,
aged s years, the animal slipped, and
the child was thrown off and trampled
on several times He was only severe
ly bruised, but the father thought he
was killed, and in endeavoring to save
him was terror-stricken. He tremb!ed.
and had palpitations and a feeling or
cold and tension in the face and mead.
On the following day the hairs OF the
head, beard and eyebrows commenced
to fall in quantities, so that after eight
days he was absolutely bald. At the
same time the skin of the face and
head become paler. Without delay the
hairs began to grow again in the form
of a colorless down. Soon all the az
fected regions were covered with finer.
more silky. and more thinly sown,
completely white hair. The hair or
other regions was not affected.

when her father received letter from
Valdane, saying that he could not get
away for the first, and begging to be
allowed to leave the date Of his ar
rival at Clarisdale uncertain for few
days. The letter was cordially itself,
but it left Mildred sore and wounded.
She was astonished to find how keen
was her disappointment, and how fiat
and dull the first had seemed without
his accustomed presence. That even
ing her father took her aside.

Had such a course Of action been
proposed two days earlier 1t would
have met with his daughters unquali-
fed disapproval, but at that moment
her one desire was to punish Valdane,
so she only smiled her slow, sweet
smile and asked:

1t was a warm September day. Lady
Mildred Ames lay out in the hammock
under the shade of the spreading
beech trees, and idly moved her large
fan to and fro. Her brows were puck
cred into a frown. her large eyes were
absently fixed upon the wide-spreading
lawn which lay between her and the
house. The white lines which marked
the tennis-court seemed to culver In

ing Astonishing Growth.
There is a doctor in West Philadel-
phia who has a son one year old, and
this baby is probably the strongest hui
man being for its age and weight in
the world. Its father will hold cane
in his two hands, and the baby, grasp
ing it, will draw itself up to its chin
three times. That is but one OF its nu-
merous feats of strength. The physi-
clan says that his boys unusual mus
cular development is due to a daily
massage treatment. Every morning he
lays the little fellow, naked, on
blanket, and kneads his muscles for
thirty minutes. Once month he
weighs the baby and measures its
calves, chest, arms, etc. The monthly
increase of weight and girth are re-
markable The baby has never had
shoes or stockings on its feet or hat
on it's head, and in the summer 1t wears
only a little sleeveless dress that comes
to its knees. 1t gets cold bath every
morning. eff nothing goes wrong"
the physician often declares, this
child will be one Of the strongest men
the world has ever seen. He will never
get bald and he will never lose a
tooth. AS for his muscles, with mas
sage and a course of exercise that
have laid out, they will be big and
supple all over his body. All his flesh
will be, when tense, hard as steel, and
when relaxed as soft as the flesh Of a
young girl"

ATTACKS ON IRELAND
Resented by the Friends of the
Archbishop in Washington.


Archbishop in Washington.
WASHINGTON, May s.-The bitter at
tacks on Archbishop Ireland In France
because he is to deliver panegyric on
Joan of Arc" at the celebration at Or
among his friends in this city, although
the utterances of Jean de Bonsefon in
Paris newspaper, and criticisms of other
writer's, are not regarded as rejecting in
any large degree the opinion entertained
by the French clergy or people Some
surprise is expressed that if there was
such opposition to Archbishop Ireland
and to his views and to his delivering this
address, it was not manifested at an
earlier moment.
1t is known that long before Archbishop
Ireland went to Europe that he was Sc
lected to deliver the address at Orleans.
Some years ago he thrilled European
Catholics, particularly those French
Catholics, by magnificent address de-
ivered in Paris. His utterances were
greeted with approval and he was re-
garded as one of the foremost priests
in America by majority of the French
clergy. Only one reason for the change
of opinion has been given, the publication
of the book attacking the late Father
Hecker, founder of the order of Paul
lists. Since then views antagonistic to
those entertained by Archbishop Ireland
have been freely expressed in France,
but his trip this year was expected to
re-establish his position.
The Baltimore Sun this morning has
an article discussing the. French OPPOSE
ton to ireland, and explaining Ireland's
views. 1t is friendly in tone, and represents
the views of Catholics in Washington az
well as in Baltimore.

Gov. Thomas, of Colorado, May Test
Them In the Courts.


WASHINGTON, May Sit is possible.
war department officials say, that the
governor of Colorado may be able to
settle the question of the right of the
United States to- use the volunteers in
foreign SERVICE in the courts, through the
medium of habeas corpus proceedings
This might be done on the allegation that
the volunteers are held against their
wishes. War department officials say it
would be easy to- prove by the orders
which have been issued that all the vol
unteers were perfectly free to ask for
and obtain their discharge when the
treaty of peace was signed. There is no
doubt, the authorities say, that the gov
ernor would lose bis case If brought on
this point, but regard habeas corpus pro-
ceedings as the only course open to him.
AdJt. Gen. Cprbin did not care to dis
cuss the interview of Gen. Thomas, of
Colorado, today, further than to say that
already orders had been issued for the
return of the volunteers in the Philip
pines. and that they would come home
as fast as transportation could be pro-
vided and In order Of their departure for
the islands. Gen. Corbin says he has
written letter to Gov. Thomas, which
explains the whole situation. This letter
will, no, doubt, be received by the gov
ernor today. The general would not

to the governor doing so when received
