where the land was filed on prior to the

fact that the company last year was

A FINE FIGHT BREWING.
Doughty Daughters to Follow the
Ways of Their Ancestors.

There's fine fight among the
Daughters Of the American ReVolu

determination Of one New York city
woman to be made president-ge
when the annual election comes off in
22d of February, and the equal deter.
mination of pretty nearly every other
woman of the 10000 upon the
Daughters roster that the president
general shall be-well, most anybody
as long as it isn't that one woman.
A few members of the woman's own
chapter-who are so we'll disciplined
that they are submissive to her every
word and lOok-say that they will
stand by her, but everybody familiar
with Daughterly politics knows how
little such support counts. 1t is the
aim of the bOdy-with the exception
of this one member-to have for pres
ident general a national woman such
as Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Adlai Stew
eson, the first two incumbents, were,
and such as Mrs. Daniel Manning, the
present incumbent, is. Were the re-

"A mad, foolish proceeding" said
Lyster Ayrton. A long walk to the
station and a journey to London are
not the most fitting things for you to-
night, Sybil."
Let me judge" she replied; and the
sound of her voice awed even him.
She remembered afterward how the
squire held her in his arms, how Irene

away with shudder of heartfelt de-
spair.
Then she was in the open air. walk

foolish as herself.

WE'LL" he said, "all would have gone
on smoothly. Being true to me, and
all that kind of thing, is very we'll in
it's way, but I wanted to stay with you,
not for you to come with me-"
She made him no answer; they
heard the sound of her weeping die
away on the summer night, and in an
other minute she was out of sight.
No words can paint the despair OF
those she left behind, with the mock
cry of the morrow's wedding grandeur
all about them-the flowers, the
dresses, the numerous preparations.
The squire shut himself up in his
room, and never left it for meny long
weeks The whole burden fell upon
Irene. 1t was she who had to tell the
neWs-how Mrs. Ayrton's husband,
whom everybody believed dead had
suddenly returned; it was she who
bore the brunt of all inquiries, an
swered all questions, tried to comfort
tie squire, and saved Sir Rupert from
despair.
After few weeks Sir Rupert went
away from The Hide. No one could
have recognized in the haggard,
stricken man the brave and gallant
lover whose love had ended so fatally.
A gloom deeper and darker than night
fell upon GlyEn, shutting out those
who lived there from the Light of day.
Two years passed, and no change
came. Sybil wrote occasionally, but
there was nothing in her letters save
love for them She never spoke OF
herself, never AIMED Sir Rupert, never
said whether SIC was happy or miser-
able; they knew nothing of her; ard
though he loved her SO dearly, the
squire would rather she had died than
have passed so completely out OF his
life.

Little mRetty PaImer.v


Ex-senator Palmer's eldest daughter,
now Mrs. Matthews, was, during the
rebellion, the heroine of an exciting oc-
currence, which is told and retold in
Illinois to this day.
She was little Betty" Palmer, and
only 16 in the wartime days, when her
father was brought back after the
fighting at Island No 10, wounded. He
was attended by negro servant,
whom he left in Carlinville when he re
turned to the front. There was a law
against bringing slaves into Illinois at
that time, and after General Palmer
returned to his command certain high
spirited but not warlike gentlemen of
Carlinville determined to teach the
negro servant lesson for his temerity
in breaking the states law. Accord
ingly, they rode up to the generals
house one night, neatly masked, and
asked for the negro. Mrs. Palmer was
i'll, there was a houseful of little chill
dren, and, except the negro, no man
about the place. He was just stepping

Palmer ran out. She caught the negro
by the arm, pushed him into the house,
slammed the door, and babe him lock
it. Then she walked calmly out upon
the piazza and began to give the mob
several pieces Of her mind.
She was just a slip of a girl, but she
wasn't afraid of anything on earth.
She called this man and that by name,
and flung their cowardice in the faces
of all of them. They skunk away one
by one, and the girl followed them
down the steps and over the lawn to
the front gate She dared them to
take off their masks She dared them
to come back. She jeered at them as
long as they were in sight, and called
after them when they went. And then
when it was all over she walked back
to the house and promptly went into

John Kendrick Banks in an article on
these household pests in the Woman's
Home Companion. Fire has a decent
sense OF the prophecies. Moths have
none at all. When fire attacks you it
smokes, and crackles, and Kisses, and
roars, and lets you know in clarion
tones that it has come. The motn
steals upon you in the dead of night,
and cheWs up your best trousers,
gorges himself upon your wife's furs,
tickles his palate with your SWEETEST
flannel golf-shirt, munches away upon
your handsomest rug, punches holes in
your best sofa-cushions with his tusks,
and then silently folds his tent and
steals away without so much as a
thank-you for his meal For unmiti-
gated meanness commend me to the

nefarious work even a book-agent pales
into insignificance, and an unpaid

MAGNIFICENT JEWELS.
Mrs. John Drexel Has an ExhaustIess
Casket


The jewels of Mrs. John R. Drexel
have been the talk of society this win
ter. She must have an exhaustless
jewel basket, for at each great func-
ton at which she appears she wears
some new and splendid set of jewels.
Her manner of wearing gems is quite
unique. She always arranges them
differently from any one else, and she
always secures an effect with them.
Her diamonds are famous, for her col
lection rivals even Mrs. Astor's. She
has many diamond necklaces and
tiaras, and she has ten gorgeous "sun-
bursts which she wears crossing her
velvet corsage in a line extending from
one shoulder to the waist line diagon-
ally, very large ones being used in the
center and tapering to small ones at
the shoulder. No one but Mrs Drexel
would ever have thought of arranging
her jewels so, unless it. might be the
Countess of Warwick. Mrs. Drexel
made quite sensation with a fringe
of diamonds which she wore with her
purple velvet gown at the opera This
blazing fringe started from one shout
der and disappeared under the arm at
the opposite side.
Mrs. DrexePs turquoises are superb.
Very few people can wear turquoises
and not have them appear cheap. Hers
are of all sizes, from an inch and a
half across to tiny pinhead size, and
they are all surrounded by diamonds
to enrich them. These turquoises and
diamonds are arranged in strands and
are placed ON her corsage in a very
unique fashion They start in front
beneath superb ornament of tur-
quOise and diamonds representing a
spray of flowers and leaves. Two
strands extend away on each side and
meet at the back of the corsage, quite
surrounding the decolletage.
A tall turquoise and diamond tiara
is worn with this corsage ornament.
The tout ensemble is mangificent
