rains or storms she invariably drives
about in an open equipage in full view of
her subjects, accustomed thereto from her
infancy by her mother, who trained her
in the most admirable manner for her
mission as a constitutional sovereign.
She is usually accompanied by a lady
in-waiting sole escort, and, although
she is a warm-hearted woman, yet she is
mindful Of the dignity of her position.
Thus the other day when she met an
officer while out driving, who happened to
be the brother of her lady-in-waiting. she
returned his military salute with most
gracious smile and inclination of the head.
But noticing that her companion had
waved her hand in familiar way to her
brother, she frowned and exclaimed cold

dear, if you would avoid these little fam

accompany me-"
True, after she reached home the Queen
endeavored by every means in her power
to atone for the chagrin to which she had
subjected her attendant and among other
things presented her with a handsome
piece of jewelry. But the lady, while re-
stored to favor, is not likely to forget the
lesson which she has received or even to
render herself again guilty of such a
breach of etiquette.

tain vibrant tone in babys voice, the CLINT
of her fne-spun hair the droop of her
delicate head, were all her inheritance
from her father. The mother felt, with
a catch at her heart, that the little one
was not her baby, but their baby.
Dear Cod" she was praying earnestly,
ct spose you couldn't send me the new
doll, cause Santa Claus is dead. And
p'raps you was 'fraid I'd forget Rosie

The voice broke a little.

prayer was calling her back to the IA

his disposal for the journey, and when
the Ministers, assembled in Cabinet coun-
Gil ventured to question the policy Of this
move, pointing out to her that 1t might
cause complications with foreign powers,
notably with England, she exclaimed
sharply:
THE constitution invests me with the

-Baby's eyes were tear wet; she, too, had
had her little struggle before reconciling
herself to the old do1lie that couIdn' t
walk. She smiled drowsily at her mother
and with one arm round her neck and one
round Rosie fell asleep
Very quietly Jean arose and went to her
husbands side. He was lying like tired
boy with one arm thrown above his
head as she had often seen him after 4
hard days work. She noticed how thin
the arm was. For the first time she
realized that perhaps under his thought
less indifference he had worried more
than she knew. He was young to have a
wife and child to care for. She
found herself making excuses for him.
She remembered that it had been his
light hearted boyishness that had first

must help him. God had meant it so in
giving him to her. Well she knew there
would be much stumbling, but the
thought Of leaving him appeared to her
now as betrayal-she could no more do
it than she could desert baby. They
were both her children.
AS Jean stopped over her husband she
felt a package in his pocket She smiled
when she saw 1t was candy for baby.

There is a golden thread Of comedy glis-

the quarter, and knew that he had had

Jean placed kiss on his forehead the

was a child's pleading, and a divine
mother-love shone in her face.
BY and by he awoke suddenly, look OF
terror in his face and cried out, JEAN!
She thrilled to the note of appeal. When
he saw her sitting by his side he went on
breathlessly, "Oh. my darling, 1 thought
you had left me! Jean, Jean, forgive me
and help me-"

Jean made a little gesture of good-by

made the mistake of marrying him is no
reason why you should throw your life
away-and baby's too"
Jean turned TO him again.
Come, walk with me and let us talk
it over" he said more gently.
There was comfort in the strength of his
friendship. It was sweet, for the mo-
ment, to lean upon the strong will and
affection of her old-time lover; for so long
she had been the one upon whom weak
er had depended. He spoke reasonably,
delicately, of her duty to her child and to
herself He asked her no questions of

her future CONSIDERABLY, calmly. Jean
and baby were to come and live with his
sister, jeans old friend, where they could
be quiet and happy. Jean might work
for herself for a while, and then-they
went no further in words; but life seemed
to broaden out before Jean into new peace
and hope.
At parting John said, Wont you come

A BAD MIX Up.
Horses and Buggies Damaged
and Lady Faints.

There was quite an excitement
created near the Iowa Central tracks
Monday evening by three teams which
ran into each other and caused con-
siderable damage. Mr.. and Mrs, W.
D. Coleman and daughter, Bertha,
were out riding lei the depot when
the buggy collided with another rig
going in the same direction. Almost
at the same time Carp Smith who
was driving past was run into by the
frightened horses and the three
buggies and horses wer Don mixed
up in great shape. 1t was about nine
O'Clock and the street was rather
dark SO that it was hard to tell just
what was the matter. The horses
hoofs sent up a cloud of sparks as
they tried to kick their way free and
the women screamed for help A
large crowd soon collected and the
rigs were finally untangled and set to
rights as best they could. Miss Cole
man tainted from fright and was car
ried to one of the neighbours houses
where after some labor she was re-
vived. DIR. True was called'a and furn-
ished medical assistance. The rig
which first struck the Coleman party
got free with very little damage. The
driver was not known. The horse
whick Mr.. Smith was driving kicked
itself free and ran away leaving the
buggy almost a wreck. Mr.. Smith
was badly bruised about the head and
hips and has a slight cut on the
wrist. The Coleman rig was more or
less broken up but none of the &C.
cupants we're really hurt.
