wolfang and Miss Ivie Thompson. the
daughter Of a rich farmer and politician,
were to have been married year ago.
When the bride reached the church she
found a note cooliy inviting her to VOL
fang's marriage with another girl in q
day or two. Miss Thompson did not faint
or cause any scene. but went home quiet
iy to plan revenge. The other girl. on
hearing what had occurred. gave VOL
fang his walking papers and ere long he
wrote Miss Thompson asking permission
to come and see her. The young wo-
mans parents were indignant at his as
surance, but Miss Ivie talked them over
and I'm q couple of months the old court
ship had been renewed. Again the we'd
ding day was fixed but the bride insisted
on being married in her fathers house.
The guests arrived. Woifang was In high
afee and everything was waiting for the
bride. Suddenly there was a chatter Of
hoofs and a shout from the roadside.
Miss Ivie and Hanning Isnex dashed by
on horseback. Pursuit was begun at
once, but the fusitives had timed things
to dot. They reached a nearby rail-
road station just In time to catch train
for Cumberland, where they we're mar
ried at once.
The Queen of servia IL a late and dis
tinguished convert TO the idea that IL one
would preserve q good figure she must
eschew luxurious beds. Her Majesty IL
conceded to possess the best figure and
most stately carriage OF all the royal wo-
men in Europe. She has given UP the
soft bed and down pillows and sleeps on
hard and narrow divan spread with
an unyielding mattress. There Is no ves-
tige of pillow under her head, but her
feet rest on q small one. Previous to
taking UP with this unregal method of
resting the Queen had been a sufferer
from insomnia and nightmare. but from
both these terrors she Is now entirely
free. The physician who induced Her
Majesty to try this cure is a strong ad-
vocate OF brief periods Of rest for ner-
vous women. Such rest can be taken in
semi-reciining pose in an easy chair by
relaxing every muscle. Sleep may or may
not follow. 1t is not an easy matter for
a woman who is not accustomed to sleep
In the day time to fall into q doze at
will. Sleep should not exceed ten or If
teen minutes, this time being more re-
freshing than an hour. Place the hands
back of the head, slightly swaying the
head from side to side; think of nothing.
This IL absolutely imperative to attain
the best results from the afternoons rest.
