Hot0 Lifflepage Took
Care Of Her
lTTLEPAGE was n typical south.

I lTTLEPAGE was a typical south
l. ern gentleman. A young man, he
belonged to the old school His family
was one of the few in Alabama which
was wealthy after the war had closed
He had been brought up IN the good
old way. He had quick temper, n
ready revolver, and what most people
would say was an exaggerated idea of
courtesy and chivalry to women. He
went through college and then
through a technical school, coming
out with degree as electrical engi-
neer. Then he came north to take n
position with large manufacturing
corporation. Within few months he
had made many warm friends who adj
mired him both for his ability and for
his courtly manners.
Finally he was ordered by his com
pany to go east to look over an cleo
trical invention which they were think
ing about buying. The rain left at
three o'clock in the afternoon. He
was delayed in reaching the station
and it was within few minutes of
train time when he clambered on the
rear end of the sleeping car. AS he
mounted the steps a man opened the
car door and came out. 1t was Larsen,
young lawyer, with whom he was
well acquainted in a business way.
"Why, hello, Littlepage," said the
lawyer, "where are you going?"
"New York." said Littlepage.
Great luck" Larsen answered.
'Just got time to go back and intro
duce you to my wife. She's called to
New York by her mothers illness. ]

when they met at the international
Yacht races. Mr.. Nichols has been an
ardent lover, and it is stated by his
close friends that the wedding will
take place some time this year, and
that the engagement viii be formally
announced as soon as the date of the
marriage is settled.
Miss Sartoris is tall, graceful
brunette, and bears little resem-
blance to the Grant family. She has
been belle of two capitals, London
and Washington, and has counted her
admirers by the score. 1t is a sub
iect of much congratulation to her
family that she has chosen an Amer
lean. Her venerable grandmother,
Mrs. U. S. Grant, is especially well
pleased, as it was great grief when
her daughter married an Englishman.
She was not filed with enthusiasm
when her namesake and granddaugh-
ter. Julia Dent Grant, welded Rus
sian, even if be was prince.

worried about letting her make the
trip alone. / know you'll be glad to
look out for her and see that she gets
through all right"
ut will be a great pleasure to me,
said Littlepage, with one of his best
Alabama bows.
Mrs. Larsen was pretty woman.
After Littlepage had been presented
her husband had just time to get off
the car before the train started. Lit
tlepage sat down in the seat with her
and soon found that she was as pleas
ant and entertaining as she was good
looking. 1t was really great piece
of luck for him. 1t promised to make
n tircsome trip rather pleasant than
otherwise. Mrs. Larsen had often
heard her husband speak of him. He
was from Alabama? He had fought "A
duel or two? Was it true that he had
actually shot a man? Did he always
carry n revolver?
Littlepage tried to explain his deli
cate ideas of honor and the proper
way to protect it. She seemed to be
balf-afraid of him, and, as Littlepage
was a young man, that did not detract
from her charm.
Halfway across the state, at lit
tie way station, fat man with big
black mustache and huge diamond
stud got on the car and sat dowr
across the aisle in seat where ht
could stare Mrs. Larsen full in the
face. At the first glance Littlepagt
d;eliled him. He looked impertinent
His appearance put Littlepage almost
into a rage. He had an insolent stare
and it seemed that he could hardly
keen his eyes off pretty Mrs Larsen
Half a dozen times Littlepage glanced
IN only to catch his bold black eyes
staring across the aisle. He wondered
~ Mrs. Larsen had noticed it. Finally
he spoke to her.
"That man across the aisle is look
ing at you in an impertinent way" hi
said. "If you'll allow me I'll go owe.
and make him stop it,
Mrs. larsen begged that he woulc
do nothing OF the kind. She had no
noticed that he was staring at her
At any rate, she was sure there was NJ
occasion to make scene.
Littlepage assured her that he wV
