-"
"A young girl, you say, mother"
John Winthrop interrupted, earnestly,
some strange thought deepening the
pallor in his face.
Mrs. Winthrop smiled induigently
upon her son.
II think thee would call her young
girl, john" she said, "and very sweet
in the face. But gray eyes she had
that turned to black in her speaking.
Slender and good to look upon, and
sweetly spoken-until then"
"And when she turned away she
said-what was it she said, mother"
"Why should thee strive to remem-
ber her words. John, my dear? She
was wicked in her hatred, or she could
not have uttered them. Could she
truly know thee she would not so have
spoken"
"But she said, mother?"
"She said," Mrs. Winthrop's eyes
were troubled. looking upon her son
across the dainty table. Ito tell thee
that had she known whom she was
saving she would noe have lifted her
hand for me. She said that thee would
know. She mistook thee, John. She
could not have meant my son."
"And her name, mother?"
"Her name Is Beatrice. John-a
pleasant name-Beatrice Field"
"Alecia Graham's sister, she said?"
;k"Yes, John"
"And from New York"
"From New York-yes, John. But
why will thee think on these words
of a willful heart"
"She was slender and dark, with
brown hair and gray eyes"
"Gray eyes, John, that turned to
black in speaking, and brown hair
that curled upon her forehead; and
slender-yes, John"
John Winthrop frowned heavily as
he mechanically pushed away his
plate, his eyes bent upon the snowy
cloth, not daring to meet his mothers
loving eyes.
''Thank Godw he muttered. "At
least it was not she"

Love Finds a way When Even the
Grim Monster Does Sentinel
Duty About the Groom's
Couch.

Richmond, VA, July 15.-Dr Harry
Rodman and Miss Edith Wyman, both
of New York, were married at the
jefferson hotel here under circum-
stances as romantic and unusual as

bed restoratives mad to be administer
ed while Rev. Landon r. Mason per
formed the ceremony. Only the i'm
mediate relatives of the groom, who
had waited anxiously at his bedside
as he fingered between life and death,
attended the pathetic bridal scene in
what threatened at any moment to
become a death chamber
The bride, who is trained nurse
had twice nursed DR.. Rodman back to
life wnen he seemed almost dead.
The story leading up to the mar
riage reads more like the creation OF
some fertile brain than a recital OF
facts DR., Rodman was a surgeon ON
the hospital ship Maine which was
sent to South Africa. His bride was
a Bellevue hospital nurse He met
her before the South African war
while i'll at the Bellevue with scarlet
fever They became attached to each
otner and an engagement followed.
Or Rodman. while on his mission to
South Africa, met beautiful English
girl with whom he fell in love, and
she consented to wed him. He went
to --Agland during the spring of this
year to marry, but ne was again
stricken desperately i'll witn fever.
The wedding was postponed DR.. Rod
men came to Virginia for his nealth.
and when he grew worse he sent for
Miss Wyman again and she came and
nursed him. Saturday they came to
Richmond. having telegraphod for a
minister and license, and upon their
arrival the i'll man was taken to the
Jefferson. lie had to be reviEed by
restoratiyes while the ceremony was
being performed Leaving for New
forE tonight tne groom became un-
conscious on his way to the depot
and the grayest apprehension was
felt that he would not live to reach
