who actually starved herself TO death to
fulfill her pledge.
She was a married woman of middle
age, and her violent temper was the
cause Of constant quarrels between her
and her husband. After a stormy inter-
view with his wife on one occasion the
husband expressed his unwillingness to
continue a life of such endless disagree
ments, and left the house, whereupon the
wife vowed she would taste of nothing
TO eat or to drink until he should return,
AS he failed to return, the woman kept
her VOW and died of actual starvation in
the midst Of plenty
A well-known American lawyer and his
wife, who lived a life of continual fric-
ton, vowed one day that they would new
er speak to each other so long as they
lived, or even communicate in writing
They continued TO reside together to avoid
public scandal, but for eight months they
spoke not word to each other. and any
message which il was necessary to com
municate was delivered through the me-
dunn of a third person, generally a rela-
tive.
Al the end of eight months the lawyer
relented and once more addressed his
wife. She however, steadfastly a bided by
her vow, and all the pressure her husband
and her relatives brought to bear ur}on
her failed to induce her to speak to him
For more than five years she maintained
her silence to him, and even at the end
of that time when she died, she resolute-
ly declined TO hold any direct verbal COM
munication with him.
Rash VOWS of lovers are scarcely ever
needed; love lis always rash and courtshin
studded with meaningless vows. But
twenty years ago young woman who
lived in Bolton. England, made a vow
from which she never departed
She was engaged to a young mechanic OF
Bolton, who, on one occasion, gave her
some slight cause for Jealousy She then
before him and her relatives solemnly
swore she would kin him If ever he did
so again. Shortly afterward her lover re-
ceived the offer of good employment in
America. and went out TO his post, after
eager protestations Of his faithfulness' and
promises to write.
For many months he wrote regularly
but at last his letters ceased. ana his
sweetheart learned accidentally that he
was about TO marry a. young woman Of
means in Boston. She thereupon entered
domestic service, and 40 one bus herself
gave thought 90 the awfulyow she had
previously taken

If they were so many lambs. One day
when the menagere was at Buda- Pesth,
she decided to put her two most ardent

At the close OF the afternoons exhibition
she again entered the cage of lions. and

young daughters were in danger of starry

he borrowed go from each of two of his
fellow workmen, Mile and Hidcock. The
girls arrived In due course, but their
father was unable to save sufficient money
to repay the borrowed 40.
A happy solution OF the difficulty, how
ever presented itself. The daughters were
so attractive that the creditors promptly
fell in love with them, and undertook to
cancel their debts in return for the girls

older girl in return for his flo, and the
younger daughter, Anne, made Mile re-
gard himself as a lucky man in securing
her for his share of the debt.
Few things are more likely to call scorn-

ed for a wife was certainly q unique way
of determining which should prove the
fortunate sutton in a love contest, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Although there Is no limit TO the mum
Der of ways in which a wife may be won,
IL is doubtful whether more than two men
have ever played game of chess, with a
bride for the guerdon.
The story, which comes from Germany.
Is that two young artists were infatuat-
ed by the charms of the same maiden,
and neither was given more ground for
shope than his rival. The spoil clearly
would fall TO the lot of one or the other.
and as each was a skillful chess player,
they decided to put their fates to the test
Of paWns and castles. The fateful game
was played without a. spectator at the
Kaiserhoff restaurant ana after long
and exciting struggle one rival succeed
Ell In checkmating the other. The defeat

himself to France, where news reached
him that the man who had "mated' him
was himself more happily mated In Ber-
lin.

hopeiessly in love with a charming actress
were the most redoubtable dueIine cham

scanned with traces Of the many fights
they had taken part in
The actress was equally Indifferent TO
both sutors, but was at last so weatied
by their Importantly that In miscellaneous

so If you and Herr Schultz win prove
which Is the better man with the sword

Such challenge could only have one
issue. The men, who were equally
matched, arranged meeting In The SUI
burbs where a fierce duel was fought
with "unbuttoned foils." At a critical
point OF the duel Mr.. Schultz slipped In
