CHAPTER vi.

Two weeks had slipped away, when
the Reynolds carriage. with all its ele-
giant appointments. drove slowly up the
broad avenue which led to the open
country in the direction Of the Soldiers
Home.
Among It's luxurious cushions re-
clined its n occupant-a
whose glance wandered restlessly from
beneath her lace-fringed parasol.
Suddenly her face flushed, as. COM
ing toward her, she deserted the figure
of a young man in undress uniform.
Leaning forward. she ordered the car
riage to raw up to the sidewalk.
'WiIl you take the seat beside me?"
she asked, In sweetest tones.
Mrs. Reynolds honors me too great
ly," he replied.
And, accepting the place offered him,
the carriage pursued its way.
For a few moments there was silence;
then he turned and looked long and
steadily In her eyes.

FAMILY OF LORD ROBERTS.
EngIand's Great Military Hcro's
Devotion to His Wife and Pride for
His Son.

EnGIand's Great Military Hcro's
Devotion to His Wife and Pride for
His Son.
Here is a new story, fresh from the
other side, which shows to a remarka-
BILE degree the picture Of England's
greatest military hero IN the light of
husband and father. 1t seems that the
most perfect sympathy has existed be-
tween Lord and Lady Roberts since
they were married, forty-one years ago,
and Lady Roberts, herself the daughter
of g soldier. has always been able to as
sociate herself with the chief interest
in life of her husband. Her work in
India, in the cause of the soldiers
wives, will long be remembered by the
English, and among her own sex she Is
as much beloved as Lord Roberts is by
his men.
The death of their son at Colenso
came all the more severely to Lord and
Lady Roberts, as they were a singular
ly affectionate and united family. The
greatest affection existd between the
distinguished father and his promising
son. Lord Roberts was most anxious
lidl MS sun SHouIu dCnieNe ulSllHCtloh
in some profession, and his valuable
experience and sympathy were always
at his sons service. "Bobs" was very
proud of his sons prowess in the sad
die. At a race meeting, some time ago.
in Ireland, Lieut.. Roberts rode clean
away from the field and won by q dog
en- lengths. my son must not be en-
couraged to ride; a soldier has to keep
all his abilities for the service" said
Lord Roberts: and then, with a burst
of paternal pride, but in all my life I
never saw anyone ride a better race

The Statesman and the Late Mis-,
Kingsley.

There Is an interesting incident
which Palph b. Benson describes in a
recent number of the London Spectat-
or, in connection with the late Miss
Mary Kingsley. In February last Miss
Kingsley gave a lecture at the Imperial
institute. Among the audience was a
great statesman and administrator,
still happily with us, though long s.nca
rude donatus. Not knowing that he
was present, Miss Kingsley has occa-
sion to refer in terms of glowing eulo-
gy to his noble work in a great prov
ince of the far East. At the conclusion
Of h lecture this gentleman sent IN
his card, and advanced to speak to
Miss Kingsley.
"Hullo.' she said, IL thought you
were dead"
No" he replied, "but I thought I
was forgotten"

NEW PENSION LAW.
Attorney General Remley Says That
.One-Half of All Money Received
Must Go to Heirs.

Attorney General Remley has handed
down an opinion to the state board of
control constituting the pension law
passed by the last general assembly
and relating to the pensions of menu
bers of the soldiers home. The board
of control always declined to use any
part Of the pension funds and they ac-
cumulated under the rules of the trus-
tees requiring all above six dollars to
Resent to relatives or given to the state.
The new law, the attorney general says,
requires the pensioners to give one
half of their pension money to their
dependent relatives if they have any.
The opinion was called out for the rea-
son that a pensioner who had been
sending his extra two dollars to his
children in the Davenport home to keep
from giving it to the state wanted to
retain all of his pension, whereas the
law, as the board read it and as the at
torney general CONSTITUTES it, forces him
to give half of it or two dollars addi-
tional to his children, although they do
not need it,
