1t was showing that night when he
drove away, and all through the day
that followed the snow continued to
fall. Early the next morning the cure
returned. Marie met him at the door
and he saw at once that she had been
crying
Madame is dead she said. "She
died Just a little while after you went
away
She led the way into the room, where
they laid her in plain, pine-boarded
coffin Some of the villagers had gath

Paul" cried the cure, ring tho
church bell, and when they ask you
what has happened, tell them that you
ring for a marriage, a burial and
christening all at once. Tell them also
! that the cure wants them here"
The cracked old bell rang out on the
frosty air, and the people, startled by
the unusual sound, hurried to the inn.
! They crowded into the little ROOM men
and women. and stood there in awed
silence as the cure took the cover off
the little cardboard box. A plain gold
ring lay inside of it, and he held it up
between his finger and thumb, so that
all of them might see.
Look he exclaimed, as he read the
inscription on the inside of the ring.
Here is her marriage certificate and
her Christian name: 'Rosie-Septem.
Der 20, 1900 If any of you do not
believe me, come and look for your
selves"
There was dead silence throughout
the room as, after waiting for a mo-
ment to see if any one would reply, he
walked to the coffin, and lifting the
little cold, white hand, he slipped the
ring upon her finger. "See how it
fits he said; you must all call her
Madame now"
Presently he spoke to them more in
the tone which he was accustomed to
use in the pulpit
"On Sunday the child shall be christ
ened. We will name her Rosie, after
her mother, and Rougemont, after our
village. You know best whether you
owe anything to her or not" he con
tinued pointing toward the coffin
But in case your conscience pricks
you. Paul will stand at the church door
after the christening to receive what
you may wish to give"
And that's how it happened that just
at the entrance Of the graveyard
where they laid Madame, there stands
plain white marble slab. There are
only three words on it:

TWELVE MILLIONS
AS COUNSEL FEE
EXTENSION OF VERMONT AVENUE
Commissioners to Return Unfavor-
able Report on senate Bill.


able Report on senate Bill.
The District Commissioners have pre-
pared their report upon Senate bill No.
34s9, For the extension of Vermont Ave
nue." A plat is enclosed and an estimate
of the cost amounting to $4,000.
The Commissioners say that the extern
sion would pass through very undesir-
able portion of the suburbs and would re-
quire the removal of about sixty small
houses. They say that the grade from
Grant Street to Brightwood Avenue is
rather unfavorable, being about 6 per
cent
The benefits to arise from the extension
would. in the minds of the Commission
ers, accrue principally to Howard Uni
versity and 10 the land Immediately bor-
dering on the avenue extended. There is
already provided a fine driveway, they
say. for through traffic for vehicles to-
ward the north by way of Sherman Ave
nue..
If Vermont Avenue is extended the Com
missiOners believe that, for the purpose
of utility. the city width of 1870 feet could
be reduced on this extension to eighty or
ninety feet.
In view, however, of the number of
other proposed street extensions that arc
of more Importance and OF the large cost
of the one proposed by this bill. the Com
missioner5 will return it to the Senate
committee with an unfave%able report.

WRESTLING AT KERNAN'S.
Joe Grant Threw Chick Lucas in
Less Than Five Minutes.

The weeks wrestling at Kernan's Ly-

the presence of big audience, with three
more or less interesting bouts. Sauls-
bury and an unknown" were the open

affair, in which the former won. Mike
Bernstein put Joe Zirella on the mat in

quite reputation as wrestler, and is
decidedly clever. but he was no match for
Grant last night. who changed his tactics
so quickly that his opponent hardly real

Amount Offered to Bring
Suit Against the
Pope.
THRICE TIE AMOUNT INVOLVED
Lady Asks Attorney John Ridout to
Bring Action to Recover Fortune
Left in Trust to His HoIiness-He
VIII Consider the Matter.

Mr. John Ridout. OF The local bar, has
the distinction of having been offered
larger fee than any ether member of the
profession. living or dead. Twelve million
dollars was the amount offered Mr. Ridout
few days ago as fee.
Of course, it was a contingent fee, but
the offer was made in good faith. An
other remarkable circumstance in connec-
ton with the matter is that it was pre-
posed to make Pope Leo XIII the defend
ant in the proposed litigation.
Six Figure Fees.
Many times stories have been published
relative to the large fees which have been
paid counsel for professional services In
nearly every instance the largest fees
have been paid by corporations. When
ever IL was necessary to use FIVE figures
to designate the amount it was referred
to as something very unusual, and if. by
chance, 1t required six figures to write
the amount it was considered wonderful
The six-fgure fees are now back num-
bers when considered in connection with
the contingent fee offered the local at
torney.
One day last week Mr.. Ridout was quite
busy in his office, when the office boy in
formed him that a lady wished to see him
on professional business. The visitor was
ushered in. Without waiting to state any
preliminaries she announced that she was
a good Roman Catholic.
Left in Trust to the Pope.
Continuing, she said that fortune OF
$50 1000, 900 had been left to her. The fund
she stated. was left in trust to the Pope,
and now he refuses to surrender it. 1t
was to compel the Pope to turn over to
her the amount mentioned that the visi-
tor wished to secure Mr.. Ridout's legal
services. In the event that he was sue
cessful in the suit the visitor promised
10 pay him a fee of $12, 000, 600
Mr.. Ridout sized up the prospective
client, told her he would consider the
matter when at leisure, and she left the
Office happy.

been holding meetings almost every day to
discuss matters, finish up and execute or

have a bearing on the welfare of the So

Not only have the members of the man

cuticn of the trust pat in them by the
members but the Continental Hall com
mittee. which received most responsible
commission from the last congress. has
also been very Industrious and pains
taking in doing the work which was en-
trusted to them
The Continental Hall committee was
authorized by the last congress to select
a suitable site for the new home OF the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
and make arrangements and perfect plans
for the erection of the same. The com
mittee considered great many offers
during the past year, and every one was
inspected with that carefulness and cir
cumspectiOn so characteristic OF the
Daughters.
The society had put at the disposal of
the committee the sum of SS5 900 ready
cash TO cOnsummate the purchase of the
site. The members were fully aware of
the great responsibility of making a Sc
lection, as from it the success of the I'M
dertaking depended TO very great meas
ure
Some of the members of the committee
at the various meetings advised post
ponement of the selection of a site until
congress eonvenes, and let the members
make their own selection. Others coun-
seled TO go ahead in the matter. decide
on location, select a site. and make
definite suggestions and propositions as

hall.
The latter idea seemed TO strike the
majority of the members of the hall com
mittee as The best. and they decided to

There were no signs of violence on

the part of the hospital authorities to ex-
press an opinion as to the merits OF the
case, they intimated that his condition
was the result of exposure and lack of

this occasion is sure to bring i number
of them to this city. and already a move
ment is on foot to secure their entertain

the purpose of entertaining them, and it
is understood that the matter has been
taken up by the Business Mems AssOcia-
