Mis-. Honora Patton win Marry d

Miss Houora Patton VIII Marry DE
W. ID. Gross In Pennsylvania.
Miss Honora Patton of Curwensville
this state, was taken i'll about a year
ago while studying in Paris, says the
Philadelphia Times. This circum-
stance gave rise to her acquaintance
with DR.. William d. Gross, an Ameri-
can physician practicing in the French
capital. AS elimination of pretty
romance comes the announcement that
the young couple are to be united In
marriage. Miss Patton has been in
Philadelphia the last few weeks maxi
ing final arrangements for the we'd
ding, which will take place at Cur-
wensville, and awaiting the arrival Of
DR.. Gross. The wedding will be one
of the most elaborate affairs ever ar
ranged in that part of the state with
in years. Music for the occasion is to
be furnished by the Pittsburg Orches-
ira and Philadelphia florist has been
engaged to decorate the grounds and
home. The ceremony will take place
in June. Miss Patton is tall, stately
brunette, and since her debut in society
some years ago she has been much
sought after and admired. She is ac-
complished and talented in many
ways. While at Wellesley College she
obtained high honors. After gradual
ing Miss Patton made tour of the
world, and later settled in Paris in
order to complete her musical educa-
ton and study the language. Being
devoted to her work, Miss Patton en-
tered little into the gaieties of society,
and as a consequence of too combining
study her health broke down in Febru-
airy of last year. For many months
she was under the constant medical
attention of DR.. Gross, and during that
time the personal charms of Miss Pat
ton so fascinated the American physi-
clan that some months later they
became engaged. After a complete re-
covery Miss Patton returned to this
country, and formal announcement
of her engagement was made. DR..
Gross is a graduate of the University
of Pennsylvania and is recognized as
the leading American physician in
Paris.

''Suicide?" repeated Cora, her very
lips blanching as she remembered Be-

moments-only a few moments-in the
music room.
The clock already was Ginning 8.
Perhaps it was too late to save her!
ooh. go to her at once-at once, Mr.
Chester! She is in the music room!
Go-go quickly. or you may be too
late!"
He rose with quiet smile of tri-
umph on his lips.
II have not left the music room
wholly deserted tonight, my dear Miss
Cora. I had reason to believe my dear
Beatrice might contemplate visit

There was not . minute to be


lost.
Poor Beatrice! Poor child! The little
strength she had so carefully boarded
seemed in this awful moment to desert
her. Her heart refused to beat but in
PEELED her to lean for support against
the wall and gasp for breath.
There was no light in the music room
and the gas in the library was low; but
she no longer needed light for her
search. the darkness was more favor
able to her purpose. Almost she could
fancy her father stood beside her to
guide and support her. Her dream had
become reality, and invested the mos

stitious import.

moved noiselessly and swiftly across the
floor, until her outstretched hands met
the solid substance OF the desk.
Again she fell on her knees beside 1t,
cropping with her trembling fingers to
find the tiny brass knob, whose secret
so strange circumstance had revealed
to her.
At last they touched-they pressed 1T,
Merciful heaven! 1t refused to move!
Had the events of the afternoon but
shaped themselves into another dream,
more dim, more indistinct, than the
first?
No, no! Her brain was clear enough
her senses had not deceived her. She
could almost again hear the click of the
spring as the drawer slid back to it's
place.
TO her distorted fancy it now seemed
the bolt which, springing in it's socket,
shut forever the door of hope and hap
piness against her.
Again, and yet again. she strove to
move the knob. 1t would not stir!
"Oh, God, ses7d me some help!" she
prayed, silently.
But in her throat there rose a quiv-
ering sob, and in the lonely darkness
hands.
A sound startled her-a sound quite
near-almost as # some one were be-
side her in the darkened room.
Was it fancy?-or had heaven sent
spirit to her aid?
One more effort she must make.
Again she felt her way to the knob.
Merciful God! 1t moved!
Il am saved! am SaVed! she cried,
in the intensity of relief, as the drawer
slowly moved forward and her fingers
closed upon it's contents.
In her excitement and agitation she
had previously pressed the knob stu

She sprang to her feet and pressed

darkness; some ones arm was thrown
roughly about her waist-a hot, reeking

She uttered one faint scream.
1t was answered by the sound of hur-
rying footsteps.
The light in the library streamed to
its full height, but it revealed to Ran

only Beatrice, as she stood. pale, gasp

fated desk.
Close behind him followed William

CHAPTER XVIII.

"Child, what has happened?" cried
Chester.
Beatrice cast one searching look
about the room, to be sure that it held
no other save herself and the two men
who had just entered it.
"Courage--courage!" she whispered
to herself, with pale, trembling lips.
Then she took one step forward. She
believed that she saw before her the
man who had just robbed her.
How could anyone else have escaped
from the room?
"Give them back to mel" she cried, in
a voice trembling with passion. "Give
them back to me, Randolph Chester!
You no longer have a child to deal with
but woman, whose wrongs have rem
dered her desperate. Thief! Give back
to me the papers which you just have
stolen!"
1t was now Chester's turn to blanch.
"The papers," he repeated after her,
in a dull, mechanical! voice.

voice losing it's sweetness and growing
nearly shril as some of the torture OF
her agonized suspense thus found its
vent. LAS you are a man, as you are
human, give them back to me-the pa

Randolph Chester fastened his gaze

Building Churches In Chicago.


There is an unprecedented activity
in the building of churches in Chica-
go, at the present time, and, in spite
of the labor difficulties which extend
ed far into the fall of last year, TWEEN
ty-one churches have been built since
then or are still building. Among the
already finished, are some rather
pretentious structures of brick and
stone, costing from $4,000 to $4,000.
One third of the number are Roman
Catholic churches, and the rest are
almost evenly divided among the
Methodist, Episcopal Presbyterian,
Baptist, Evangelical and Jewish de-.
nominations.

There is probably no country ON the
American Continent where the life of
the farmer carries with it that assur-
ance of comfort and success as does
Western Canada. Nor is there to be
found anywhere else such pleasant
combination. Game abounds every
where and nowhere does it afford such
perfect amusement. A noted sports
man writing of the favorite pastime
says: "There is one particular spot
where I saw man drop seventy NAL
lards one morning and bring them all
to bag, too, for they dropped in open
water or on fat prairie. At the right
season of the year you can see black
lines and triangles cut sharply out
against the sky all round you, moving
very swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the prairie
chicken growing like barn-door fowls,
and little to the northeast is bit
of marshy ground, cattle-poached and
dappled with cleaning pools, where
the snipe are nearly as thick as NOS
Quitoes. A thin column of blue smoke
curling up in the distance shows you
where a few wandering Indians have
pitched their camp, but there is no
other indication of civilization in
sight. Still, the neighborhood is we'll

the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer
tribe the world over, and down on the

moose will stand knee deep in water
on the summer evenings ready to lie
down when the flies get bothering.
All day you breathe the wild free air
of the prairie, and at night you are
lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple
and splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the wierd

HOME LEAGUE At WORK
Committees Draft Reports
Recommending a Plan
Of Campaign.

| AT the temporary headquarters of the
| Home Market League, No. SO Newark
| avenue, the three working committees OF
the Home Market League met yesterday
and prepared a joint report to the Exec
utive Committee which will be passed at
the next stated meeting of that body.
The report is voluminous. 1t deals with
the various trade questions involved from
many points of view Each committee
report was drawn and signed by the
chairman of that committee.
The Committee on Ways and Means re-
ported that it's plan for raising the nee
essary funds was divided into three parts.
First, from initiation fees and dues; sec
ond, from the yearly pledges, founders,
patronage, organizers, memberships and
life-memberships; and thirdly, from sub
scriptions to funds to carry out specified
plans The initiation fee will be one dol
lar for each member, and the dues will
be twenty-five cents a month. The year.
ly pledges, for general purposes, are on
five dollar basis. A subscription of ten
dollars constitutes Patron; a subscrip-
tion of twenty-five dollars constitutes an
Organizer, and a payment of fifty dol
lars constitutes Founder. A life mem
bership costs one hundred dollars and re-
lieves the member so paying from all
dues, fees and every other expense.
The Committee on Organization and
Membership reported in favor of having
five classes of embership-ordinary, pa
irons, organizers, founders and life. 1t
also presented a complete Constitution
and Bylaws prepared by corporation
attorney, so that in event of incorpora-
ton, The Home Market League would
simply undergo a change of legal status
and not have it's methods or other plans
curtailed or altered in the slightest ex
tent.
The Committee on Literature and Pub
licity announced that circular letter to
members had been prepared and would
be sent out Immediately, and another was
ready to go out to every man and woman
in every line of business in Jersey City.
The committee had also ordered various
short and snappy pamphlets, circulars and
cards prepared. 1t announced that it in
tended using newspaper space both with
display advertising and reading notices.

with printers and publishers and to ar
range Immediately for permanent head
quarters.
The annual meeting of the League will
be held on the first Monday in October
each year, with two other general meet
ings on the first Mondays in January and
May respectively. The Executive Com
mittee will meet every month. There will
be no meetings of any kind during July
and August of each year. Those who
ioin the League before the first annual
meeting on Monday, the seventh of next
October will not have to pay an initiation
fee. After that all members, except those
known as patrons, organizers, founders
and life members, will pay one dollar as
an initiation fee and twenty-five cents a
month The four former classes pay
nothing beyond the sum stipulated for
the classes.
