,,.,on 1rv,nr,. Traaic death.

The tragic story of the beautiful and
talented Scottish woman, Helen Irving
is not, perhaps, well known, although
it has been celebrated in song. She had
been for some time courted by two gen
tlemen whose names were Bell and
FIeeming. Bell told the girl that if he
ever found her in Fleeming's company
he would kill him. She, however, had a
strong regard for Fleeming, and one
day, while walking along the romantic
banks of the Kirtle. she observed his
rival on the other side of the river
among the bushes.
Conscious of the danger her love-
was in. she passed between him and hi
enemy, who, firing, shot her dead
Fleeming crossed the river and kille'
the coward. A heap Of stones was ralse'
on the place where the brave woman
fell, and she was buried in the nea
churchyard. Fleeming, overwhelme'
with love and grief went abroad, bu
soon returned and, stretching himsel
on her grave. expired. He was burie
by her side.

ably well himself. A famous futist
once asked permission to play to the

show his appreciation of his skill by
some valuable gift. Frederick listened
attentively while he played difficult
piece. "You play very well, . he said,

So saying, he left the room The mu-

nature of the proof. Presently the

JUST A CURTAIN FIRE.
1t Was In n Girls Boarding School
and Did Complicated Damage.

1t Was In Girls Boarding SchOO1
and Did Complicated Damage.
A fire in a skyscraper may be thrill
ing. but for dramatic episodes and un-
expected complications fire in girls
boarding school surpasses it. Tie board
ing school fire is usually what is known
among insurance men as curtain fire,
but curtain fire in a girls school is
more exciting and causes more casual
ties than an ordinary blaze anywhere
else.
One evening last week two girls. who
occupy a microscopic hall bedroom in a
swell up town school, took the globes
off the gas fixtures for hair curling pur-
poses and left them off, because it was
easier 80 do that than to put them on
again. Then the girls raised the window
n tYife in order to cool the room and
dutifully sat down to write home let
ters. The inevitable happened, and
when girl number one poised her pen
in the air and glanced around the room
in search of inspiration she saw the
curtains in blaze. She screamed. Girl
number two looked around and echoed
the scream. Then, with promptitude
and discretion, both girls tainted. The
screams had attracted the attention of
the other girls. who rushed to the scene
and then did various and sundry stunts,
according to their several dispositions.
| One tainted several wept, few ran
| out of the house, and the rest shouted
for the one man on the premises
When he arrived, things looked rather
hopeless. Curtains and woodwork were
blazing finely. The floor was Uttered
with prOstrate forms, and when three
girls have tainted on the floor Of hal
bedroom there isn't much space in the
room for promepading. The man picked
bis way across the PROSTATE forms anC
ordered all the girls who were not in 6
dead faint to leave the room, but they
didn't go until he lost his temper an(
spoke with force which isn't common
in boarding school circles. Then they
fed; bus, uniuckily, there was an enc
my in the rear. A vigorous and practi
cal woman from Texas had been inspir
ed to go after some water. Returning
in mad haste with large piteherfu

collided with the retreating forces a
the door. The pitcher struck the leade
of the retreat squarely in the face an,
knocked out two of her front teeth
whereupon the injured girl made tn

carrier dropped her pitcher and wen

Hysteria, as boarding school teacher
know to their sorrow, is contagious

BY the time teachers arrived upon tn

Lucky Hairdresser.

The old saying that man may be a
hero to every one but his valet is called
to mind by an article III The Illustrated
London News on Famous Masters of
the Tonsorial Art, in which stories are
told of Duplan. the hairdresscr to Napo-
leon. This astute man made himself SO
indispensable to the unfortunate Jose
phine and became so intimately ac-
quainted with the emperor affairs that
he was retained in the service Of the
imperial family when Josephine was
superseded by Marie Louise. He cared
for the hair of boths the emperor and
empress, being paid 1000 francs yeal
for service TO the former and 6, 600 fol
arranging the coiffures Of the latter
Ultimately he was the recipient OF
about 40. 900 francs year, his demand:
being constantly increased because Of
Napoleon S restriction in refusing to al
low the tonsorial artist to treat the hail
of any other customer.
