HER HEART INV1NCIBLE.
Persistently Spurned Wealth
and MatrlmOny

There is in San Francisco typical
bachelor girl of the modern sort who
prefers her independence to any kind
of husband
She has had all sorts offered her, and
she has demonstrated that her senti-
ments on the question are some thing
more than idle words by refusing every
one of them. And instead of keeping
house for a man she is keeping house
for salary, having charge of one of
the fashionable family hotels in San
Francisco, reports an exchange of that
city.
She hasn't always. worked for a liv-
ing. Her father was wealthy. But he
lost his money and he took second
wife, both of which events she deemed
good and sufficient reason why she
should leave the paternal roof and set
out on her own career.
Brought up amid surroundings of
luxury and refinement, this girl, Miss
Frances Richie, had every advantage.
She was beautiful and accomplished
and by the time she was out of short
skirts men began laying their hearts
and their fortunes at her feet. She
has been kept busy ever since refusing
them. She hasn't been disappointed
in love, and the marriage question
certainly with her isn'tein the "sour
grapes" class She simny hasn't want
ed husband, and sheshas had to be
very insistenti in the matter to convince
the men of her acquaintance that she
wouldn't on any account fhave.one.
She has refused more offers-ex-
tremely eligible offers, too-than most
women have the good luck to get in a
lifetime. Noblemen and millionaires,
and mine owners, and cattle kings, and
bankers and capitalists, and army Of
ficers are numbered among her reject
ed suitors.
There was $20,00000o mine owner
of San Francisco to whom she said
NO" first. II wouldn't have married
him If he had twenty times twenty mill
lion," she assured her friends who ex-
postulated with her for losing such a
chance.
Once she met young prince of Bat
tenberg, brother to Prince Henry, the
favorite son-in-law of the late Queen
Victoria. It was in Honolulu, when he
was making a tour of he world. All the
rest of femininity sued for the favor
of his smiles, but this American girl,
enjoying vacation on the island, paid
him not the least attention.
1t piqued him, prince, not to be no.
ticed by the prettiest girl at the hotel.
He sent cards to her and her chaperon
expressing a desire to meet them. He
got back the reply that it was not con-
venient for them to see him, as the
young lady was having her hair
washed, and the elder lady was writing
letter. He did, however, manage to
meet her at great reception given in
his honor, and he Herewith laughing
~ christened her "Miss American In
dependence"
When the week of his stay was over
he went away signing that prince
can't marry where he will. and he car
ried with him lock of Miss Ritchie's
glorious hair.
Miss American Independence she has
been ever since, and people have come
to believe that she will be so to the
end.

In little time the doctor raised up
with his ensanguined instrument in

released his tense muscles and fell

the shock.

ham.
His daughter reappeared just in
time to hear the words: Coming
near the bed, she pushed her hands
through her fathers arm and direct
ed her blue eyes at Guy. He returned
her gaze steadily.
Did he read sympathy in her look?
And was there nothing else in it but
sympathy? He was no weakling and
never had been. He did not want pity
from anyone, especially from this fair
girl whom he-loved! For some time
he had hesitated to acknowledge in
his own heart the depth of his esteem
for Miss Betty. Their meetings had
been few, and, for the most part, I'M

And behold. this was Guys first ex-
perience with the tender passion! A
first love springs like Minerva from
the head of Zeus;, or, better still, like
Aphrodite from the sea. These callow
beginnings of the old, old tale are for
the most part as substantial as a
child's bubble-just about; yet occa-
sionally, be it known, men and women
have ideals and will strike their col
ors the very moment the ideal comes
into their lives. Guy had met his ideal
and had surrendered his heart. He
was not doubtful of himself; if he had
any doubt at all it was of Miss Betty.
All at once he remembered the hap
penings at Lake Eliza beth and of the
sorry plight in which they had left
him in Miss Betty's mind. When he
began to talk with the view of leading
up to an explanation, he was frowned
down by the doctor.
Don't converse" interrupted the
medical gentleman; "don't move,
either. Simply lie as comfortably as
you can and rest. I'll come out and
see you again this evening""
Closing his medicine case with de-
cisive snap, the doctor tucked it under
his arm and went out.
Gas soon as you can, Mr.. HERBERT"
said Miss Betty, ''you are to come to
Willowview."
81 shall do we'll enough here, Miss
Vlandingham," retorted Guy, "but I
thank you for the invitation"

himself in bare little shack like

Sile Whitaker had left the room
with the doctor or Miss Betty would
never have made this remark.
"This shack will answer the Con-
cordian's purpose very WE'LL" an
swered Guy. 1t nettled him to be re-
ferrerd to in such generic manner.
"By Jove," interposed the squire,
when you're able to come to Willow
view you're going to come, even if
have to order out the Invincibles."
Miss Betty turned on her father in
a flash.
''The Invihcibles have already had
their orders to disband," she ex-
claimed. Haven't they done mischief
enough? From now on I shall do my
utmost to conciliate the Concord peo-
pie, and you are to help me, father.
I have a plan which we will discuss on
our way back"
The squire cast a half-humorous
glance at Guy and bowed humbly.
''Of course, Betty, of course" said
he, and they started out.
Before she had reached the door
Miss Betty halted and faced Guy once
more.
"You will hear from us again, Mr..
Herbert" she observed. Barney will
stay here to help care for YOU"
f"You are very considerable" said
Guy, "but can mana ge to struggle
along without Barney"
Nevertheless he stays!" declared
the squire. Good by, my boy, for the
present"
They left then and Miss Betty did
not give the young man a parting
word, backward glance or even a
smile. Guy thought of this gloomily,
for naturally he could not know how
absorbed Miss Betty had become in
the plan she had suddenly evolved and
which she was going to talk over with
her father. This plan had to do with
the policy of reconciliation and with
the release of Col. Keever. The lat
ter, as Miss Betty was planning the
matter, should be freed and presented
with an olive branch for delivery to
the people of Concord.
Guy heard the hoofbeats of the
horses die suddenly away in the dis
lance and he imagined that even so
was Miss Betty passing out of Ills life.
He would lose her and he would lose
the county seat. Before his vision
passed a host of migratory structures,
stores and dwellings, mounted upon
broad-tired wheels and drawn by in

essary to restore her to complete
health after the wear and tear of a
hard social season. She was to take
a brief southern trip, give up all So

moderate prudence.
She looked thoughtful and took in all
his advice. After he had told her what
to eat and what to avoid she spoke for
the first time.

asked. ~. ~

MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.
Two Women BrutalIy Murdered In the
City of Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Developments to-
day in the mysterious murders of Min
ME Mitchell and Mrs. Annie Bartholin
led the police to double their efforts to
locate William ]. Bartholin, respec-
lively fiancee and son of the two wo-
men. At an inquest over the body of
the older woman, which was found
Saturday night crammed into hole in
the cement floor of the Bartholin
home, neighbors readily identified the
corpse as that of Mrs. Bartholin. To
day it developed that Bartholin had
quarreled with his mother just before
she disappeared, over the question OF
bringing his prospective wife to live
at his monther's home.
An important development in the
Bartholin-Mitchell murder mystery
was made today when it was discov'
cred that Bartholin had been surprised
ON July 80, while standing at the cellar
grave of his murdered mother, by a
real estate agent who called to see his
mother. The agent rang the front door
bell repeatedly. No one answered, and
he went to the rear of the house and
looked through the basement window
There he saw a man standing in one
corner looking at the floor, apparently
absorbed in thought. Suddenly the mar

agent peering in. A moment later

latter replied that he wanted to sec
Mrs. Bartholin. Bartholin told the
agent that his mother was in Milwau
kee and would not return for severa
days.
Shortly after this conversation hi
was seen to leave the house and the
same evening he called at Minnie
Mitchelrs home. The couple left to
gether and the girl did not return.

tremely quiet was the tenor of all in
fromation received here today from
the surrounding region. No collieries
started and the situation at the begin
ming of the fourteenth week is about
the same as during the previous thir-
teen weeks. Official managers of the
union say there is very little distress
and this is being looked after by relief
committees. In speaking of the condi-
tions in this vicinity, Colonel Haff-
mann, of the Eighth regiment. said to-
day that there are many barefooted
women and children coming to camp
every day who take away with them
scraps of food, thrown out of the mess
tents. He said they are not all for
eigners, but that good percentage be-
long to English speaking classes.
