the leader Of the choir.
"And the way she runs after the

"Oh, man always falls In love with
woman when she IL French, a widow

IL not the only man who admires Mrs.
Sartoris," ventured Mandy with a look
In Mrs. Hemenway's direction. Unfor-
tunately that woman intercepted the
look and her whole figure set In stlff,
rigid lines. And In short time the
circle broke up.
Helen SartOris was a young widow,
who, with her 4.years-old child and two
maids, had taken up her residence In
Huxbridge some two months since. Tho
good people Of the town called upon
her and their calls were dutifully re-
turned, and the widow seemed charm.
Ing until 1t was discovered that the
men of the town Were raving about her.
Thea the women frOze In their manner
towards her, and after few wretcked
days, filed win snubs and cold glares
from her erstwhile friends, the little
widow laughed ut her prosecutors and
their snubs and became deeply gracious
to the male relatives Of these same
women. OF course, this was the worst
possible course for her to pursue-but
she was a woman.

was not wonderful that Guy Hemen-
way should see the widow In her gar
den aud fall In love with her pretty
little self. And Helen. her short mar
ried live having been lOveIess and cold,
welcomed the new tender feeling In her
heart for Guy Hemenway.
When Mrs. Hemenway reached home
that afternoon she was much excited
over the hint she received from Mandy.
II hear Mrs. SartOris Is joining the
choir" she said.
"Well, she ought to. She has de-
lightful voice."
Have you heard her sing?" inquired
his mother. sharply.
Guy recovered himself. "Yes, often,
to her little girl In the garden here"
"Ah, you do not know all about that
woman. Her poor child! She neglects
her, leaves her to the care of the SER
wants while she reads French novels
and bleaches her hair. They say she
actually beats the child. One might

not. But to think of woman ill-treat-

Under twinkling Chinese lanterns and
surrounded with Chinese flags bearing the
dragon crest, hundreds of people last
night feasted in the garden of Mrs W.

were given to raise money for the
Chinese mission of the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church, and espe-
cially for the suffering native Christians
in China. The Christian Herald has
published widely a plea for contributions
TO assist in caring for the Chinese who
have been made destitute by the recent
uprising of the Boxers. Most of the
money collected last night. probably
somewhat over $109 Will go toward this
purpose, the. remainder being applied to
the needs of the Chinese mission here.
The Metropolitan Church has a Chinese
Sunday school with about sixty members.
The CEiacSe Sunday school orchestra,
with native instruments, under the
