PIucky AIotorwoman.

The pretty and plucky daughter OF
Frank Butler, the energetic treasurer
of the Automobile club OF London, has
driven her motor car to Paris and
back. She is the first woman who has
so ventured, and it is pleasant to know
that the journey was brilliant sue
cess, the motor car behaving with per-
feet propriety, and covering the lovely
country lying between Havre and the
gay city In one day. Most of the
smarter French women can drive their
automobile, the first to set the exam
pie of obtaining a regular certificate
being the Duchess Dues, the only
woman IN. +. S. H." who hunts her
own pack of staghounds.

Rest Cottage nj Evanston.

The home of Mrs. Frances Z. VIII
lard at Evanston, Ill, now the head
quarters of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, Is not only valued
for its usefulness to the association
and endeared because of It's associa-
ton with its former beloved owner,
but the fact that the part of the house
once occupied by Miss Willard and her
mother is kept by its present holder.
Miss Anna Gordon, who has a life
lease of the premises, in exactly the
same condition AS when Miss Willard
had them. All the personal belongings
Of Miss Willard are preserved with
greatest care, and visitors consider It
a privilege to see the home that once
sheltered so dear a woman. It is Miss
Gordon's purpose to place the furni.
ture, of which she is the sole legatee
in the hands of the Woman's Chris.
tian Temperance Union at her death,
with the understanding that they be
considered a sacred trust. In the
meantime she keeps the place in per-
feet repair. and has housekeeper
there, when she herself must be abb
sent, so that temperance workers may
always be admitted.

It's own misery. ..e was madly jeal-
Gus when she smiled on Sam Brown,
and in swinging partners Sam held
her hand too long and squeezed it too
ardently to suit the jealous lover.
"Queenie, you're a fiirt," he de-
clared, Il saw you wink at Sam
Brown"
She turned on him with proud,
flashing eyes, and said:
Don't be surprised if call you an
other. You kissed Susie Bell"
That's not true"
Eyes, you did; for heard her tell
Mary Cartwright"
1T is false, Queenie," he cried, In
his indignation. Susie Bell was a
round-faced. ugly country girl with no
attractions, and tongue given to mis-
chief making.
The dance went on, and the lovers
quarrel with It. AS Jack and Queenie
whirled in the giddy mazes of the
dance :iat silly, childish quarrel
waxed hot, enhancing her beauty with
every angry word she uttered.
At last, as the "set was over" she
suddenly jerked the betrothal emblem
from her finger, and thrusting it into
his hand said:
Here is your ring; you can marry
Miss Sue"
With a heavy heart the angry Jack
Long donred his topcoat and winding
his muller about his neck to keep the
chill November air from his throat,
went out into the night never to look
upon the face of that adored being
again.
He heard from Queenie occasionally,
and at last that she had gone east to
live. How far east or what part OF
the east, he did not know, and was
too proud to ask.
She was lost to him forever, and he
grew melancholy. He went west, to
be as far from her as possible, and en-
gagged in business at frontier town,
with cowboys and ranchmen for his as
sociates.
Then came the mutterings of war
with Spain.
He had always loved the weak, and
sprang to the first call to arms. Rough
riders were wanted, and he had learned
to mount the widest broncho.
He enlisted, and hurried off to the
front At Santiago he landed, and in
the march to the city was in the first
skirmish.
Then came that noble charge on San
Juan hni. He led the charge amid
dust and heat, fighting like mad man
until struck down, faint and bleeding,
he lay on mother earth to die.
"Queenie, Queenie, oh, my long-lost
loved one, shall never see you more?"
he was heard to murmur, as borne
away from the field. Somehow there
was something in this piteous cry
which touched the hearts Of those who
heard It A newspaper man who was

Then someone on the piano accom-.
panied the violin in that sweet old
melody, Haste to the Wedding"

And away they went
When next tLey hau an opportunity

bleeding and dying from San Juan hill,
murmuring:
"Queenie. Queenie, oh, my long-lost
loved one, shall never see you more?"
WAS that your" she asked.
YES" he answered.
Then he took her Aand. 1t trembled,
and her azure eyes grew dim.
Balance ALL"
1t was several minutes before either
could speak.
The sweet-tuned violin, accompanied
by the piano, poured forth such soul
stirring music as can be found only
in that precious old air, Haste to the
Wedding"
He was about to speak when the
musician calling on shouted:
Gents to places-all promenade"
II gave him an opportunity to re-
cover himself, and when next they
glided across the room he whispered:
Say, Queenie. will you keep that old
promise y2u made long ago?"
She looked up at him. smiling
through her tears.
Ten years of misery and suffering
had passed since he held that hand.
Oh. 1t was reward for all that suffer
ing!
"Queenie. have Il yet" he whis-
pered, taking from his vest pocket the
betrothal ring which he had carried
all these ears.
1t has never left me, for / always
had hoped that time might come
when ! could restore 1t to the finger
where 1t belonged. 1t was with me
on that dark, gloomy day at San Juan

die.

prayed that II i fell some Spanish

love to reach heart that beat for

What an abomination was that old
fiddler and the dance to Jack.
When he next got an opportunity
he whispered:
