Rock Island came within notch of

Mullaney plastered liners against the

The way Hoy stole third in the

Owens, Kranz aud Mi Ter have been

Ovens weakness in regard to

south this season, beginning the two

are to be included, one at Blooming

club goes first to Decatur for two,
thence to Bloomington for three, to
Terre Haute for three and then Evant

AN ENGLISH ROMANCE.
fFue Story of n London Cabman Who
Married a Rich Girl and Won
Army Commission.

Basil Longwood awoke one morn
ing to find that he was pauper. His
elder brother, upon whom the title
had descended and who had been
named as his guardian to care for his
property and give him an income
each year, was hopeless bankrupt.
Investigation showed that were the
estate sold it would pay but small
amount of the debts that the brother
had incurred, and that the patrimony
which Basil's father had left him had
been squandered.
Not a single farthing of the for
tune which Basil had once thought
his own could he claim. His brother
had not only brought ruin upon the
family name, but disgrace as we'll,
and to none of his former friends
would Basil go for help.
Basil went to London, and for
weeks sought some sort of employ
ment. He could find nothing. Final
ly, when he was almost starving, he
had an opportunity to get a situation
as driver of hansome cab, and &C
cepted at once.
For four years he drove the cab.
He had become somewhat embittered
and he refused to battle with destiny.
He said to himself that fate had con-
spired to drag him down from his
high position, and he would submit.
One day, while driving in a street
running into Hyde Park, a phaeton
drawn by pair of gray horses and
driven by a young girl came crashing
into his cab, and threw him to the
pavement. He was picked up and
carried into a drug store, where it
young woman who had driven the
phaeton that had caused the acct
dent, sat by him and expressed her
sorrow for the unfortunate cab
driver.
When Basil was taken to the hos
pital the young woman called upon
him there. Every day she came and
brought flowers and fruit and every
thing that could add to BasiFs COM
fort. She would sit by his bedside
by the hour and read to him from
the books that he loved.
It was some time before he found
courage to ask her name. When he
did it made him the more unhappy.
She was Isabelle Varness, the daugh-
ter of the baronet. Basil could only
think OF himself as a cabman. and
never for a moment would he permit
himself ever to speak to Isabelle of
love.
But one day while he was asleep
and the girl was sitting by him wait
ing for him to awake, she bent down
and kissed him on the forehead.

EMPRESS JOSEPHINE.
Chateau of MalmnisOn, Where She
Lived. to BE Preserved by the
French Government.

No place in Paris is more historically
Interesting than the estate of Malmai,
son, which is intimately and charming-
~ associated with the great Napoleon
and Empress Josephine. The chateau
of the beloved empress sits in the cen
ter of large park, and the grounds
and the buildings have been bought by
the state as national property, to be
preserved as a show place and an OBJ
ject of enlightenment to the masses.
The estate was bought by Josephine
de Beauharnais in 179S. and the roman
tically located grounds afforded Jose
phine and the future great conqueror
their first trysting places. The early
and the happiest days of their married
life were spent there, and giant cedar
that stands behind the chateau marks
the spot where as youthful lovers they
played tag, with kisses for forfeits.
1t was there, too, that the emperor's
crown was first offered to Napoleon !
The royal couple seldom visited the
home of their courtship and early hap
piness during the glorious days of the
empire, but after her divorce the hui
inflated empress sought seclusion in
this restful retreat. where she died

THEIR FIRST MEETING.

BasiPs eyes opened. The girl flushed
crimson, and would have ran from the
room, but he caught her hands, and
before he was well aware he had told
her the story of his love, and she
had confessed that she loved him and
had loved him for long time, and
that her great fear had been that his
pride would prevent him from tell
ing her the things that were in his
heart.
So when Basil was able to leave the
hospital he and Isabelle were mar
ried. Then the problem of the fu-
ture had to be faced. He was de-
termined not to throw himself upon
Isabel1e's people. But he could no
longer drive cab. He read the call
for volunteers for the imperial yeo-
many, and Isabelle smiled through
her tears as he left her to go to
South Africa with his regiment. For
valor at Ladysmith he was pro-
NOTED and received his D. S. O., and
later on his commission and a place
in the regular service.
And Isabelle now rejoices that she
once nearly murdered a cabby.

braves, then indeed would there be no
hope of getting back without a battle
royal. There was only one chance of
safety-that the Indians should not
discover their presence. If they did and
realized who the intruders were, Jessie
Dean might look in vain for her broth
er's return. Pappoose would never hear
the love words that, trembling on his
lips the night he left her, had been
poured out only to that unresponsive
picture. Two ways there were in which
the Indians could know of his presence.
One by being informed through some
half-breed spy, lurking about Frayne;
but then who would be bastard enough
to send such word? The other by being
seen and recognized by some of the
OgaIialla band, and thus far he be-
lieved they had come undecided, and it
was now after five o'clock-after FIVE
o'clock and all was well. In a few hours
they could again be on their starlit
way. With the morrow they should be
safely within the gates of the new
stockade at Warrior Gap.
Turning with hope and relief in his
face to speak to Sergt. Bruce, who
lay there at his elbow, he saw the
blue-sleeved arm stretching forth in
warning to lie low, and with grave
eyes the veteran was gazing straight
at a little butte that rose from the
rolling surface not more than half
mile away to the southeast.

are Indians back of that hill at this
minute, and it isn't buffalo they're

and his mettle was assured, and yet
he felt the sudden chill that coursed
his veins. GLOW can they have seen
us?" he murmured.
'May have struck our trail out to
the southwest" said Bruce, slowly,
cor they may have been told of our
coming and are stalking us. They've
got heavy score to settle with this
troop, you know"
For moment only the breathing
of the little party could be heard. All
eyes were fixed upon the distant
mound. At last Dean spoke again.
'When did you see them first and
how many are there?"
"Near ten minutes ago. I saw
something futtering swift along the
sky line just beyond that divide to the
south. It skinned like a bird. all
but the quick bobbing up and down
that made me sure there was a gal
Looping pony under it. Then another
SKINNED along. It was the bunch of
feathers and red flannel on their
lances, and my belief is that they
struck our trail back here somewhere,
and that there's only small party,
and they don't know just who we are

'The average American husband
does not seem to be able to get it

mind that nothing on Gods earth hui

PEELED to ask her husband for money"
writes Edward Box. of 1.-The Wife and
Her Money" in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "She instinctively hesitates to do
it, and Outlines she goes without
rather than ask. Every wife should be
given all that it is possible for the hus-
band to allow for household expenses,
and it should not be do1ed out to her
in driblets nor given to her as favor,
but as her right, and without ques-
ton. Over such a share she should
have independent sway to do with as
she sees fit for the wisest interests OF
her home and children. That is one
rightful step. But there Is still an
other. She should have an allowance
of her own apart from the family
share of the income. have no hesita-
