A passer halted and thrust coin into
her hand, renarzing TO his ccnpan-
ion:
That child has a wonderful voice"
The half dollar insured a warm din
ner, but what the man said of her
voice was far more to her than a din
ner, much as she wanted one. Her
voice was now her hope, hope which
was leading her to struggle alone in a
big city that has no time TO succor
those who fall, and where only the fit
test survive.
An automobile drew up to the curb
and young man sprang to the walk.
Carolyn quickly raised her hand to ad-
just her masque, bringing into view an
antique moOnstone ring, on which was
cut, in intagliO, quaint and singular
ly beautiful head. AS the man saw it
ne exclaimed:
Carol, it is you. What does this
mean?"
What right have you to ask?" Her
words were brave, but her voice trem-
bIed.
mo right now, Carol, save that of
an cid friend who has been looking for
you everywhere, and is so glad to find
you that he does not care what any
thing MEANS" he said gently They
walked on, leaving the wandering
maskers behind, to the entrance of the
park.
Let us sit here for a few minutes,
Carol, l have something 1 must say
to you" She glanced at her cos
tune.
Never mind" he said, interpreting
her look. THE first time | saw you
in that dress we were very happy. and
why did you leave me, Carol, with
only the little message that l was
free?" She raised her eyes, limpid
with unshed tears, and she answered:
81 did not want you to find me- Why
did you look for me?"
Because 1 love you, Carol, and life
is not worth living without you, but
tell me, why did you go away as you
did," She hesitated a little, and then
said, steadily:
when the bank failed, and l had
nothing, your aunt came and told me
that if you married me it would ruin
your career, as she would disinherit
you. She said what you should do was
to marry Alice Curry, and that she
was sure you would, but for a notion
that you were bound in honor to me-"
"Just as l thought. But how could
you go away, Carol, without seeing

A Modern Enoch Arden.

A case with heart-touching fea-
lures has just come to light in the
mountain regions of Tennessee,
where a man and wife have become
reunited after a separation caused
by the war between the States and
continuing up to a short time ago.
John Hargrove and Matilda Bat
son were married in 1860, and a
year later the husband was one of
the first to enlist in the Confederate
army for service in Virginia, and at
the first battle of Bull Run he pur-
sued the flying enemy so holly that
he was lost from his comrades and
made prisoner and confined in
Pennsylvania until the close of the
war.
His wife mourned his supposed
death for two years and then mar
ried another, who was killed in the
last days Of the Confederacy, when
she again married The first hus-
band returned South and found his
wife with her third love, and re-
turned to his Pennsylvania home,
not wishing to mar her happiness.
He worked hard and acquired
property, and two months ago
learned that his wife had been for
some time a widow and at once came
South to claim his bride of the six
ties. She was much astonished and
confused, but matters were soon ar
ranged and another ceremony set
tied the couple to housekeeping.

sentative of the colored race, who, at
the close of the civil war was presi-

into possession of information that a
plan had been made to attempt the
life of Roosevelt on his western trip.

HE TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
HECTOR MACDONALD a SUICIDE
aiisy Preferred Against the
Great Soldier.

Paris, March 26. = Major General
Hector Macdonald, commanding the
British forces in Ceylon, and one Of
the foremost officers in the British
army, against whom charges based on
immoral acts were filed some time ago,
committed suicide yesterday at the Ho-
tel Regina here. He shot himself in
the right temple, shortly after noon,
and expired IN a few minutes later.
The general was alone in his small
chamber on the Mezzanine floor of the
hotel at the time of the tragedy. One
of the female attendants heard the pis-
tol shot and opening the GCor saw the
generals figure stretched out on the
floor with the blood gushing from a
bullet wound in the head. She ran
screaming to the balcony overlooking
the lobby of the hotel where many
guests, including a number of ladies,
were assembled.
No money or papers of any kind
were found IN Sir Hector's baggage.
Two notes written in English were
found lying on a table in his room,
but it is understood that their con-
tents have no bearing on the suicide.
In the generals coat, lying on the bed,
were found some photographs. The
British embassy and consulate were
notified later. and Consul General Ing
lis visited the hotel and took charge
of the body.
Sir Hector Macdonald arrived in
Paris last Friday evening from Lon
don, on his way back to Ceylon. where
it was understood that an immediate
court martial would be held to clear
up charges made against him. On
reaching thehctel at IL O'Clock at night
he was told that only small and
indifferent room was available. He
replied that that was quite sufficient.
He was not accompanied by any aide
de-camp or valet. He said he only
intended to stay day or two in Paris.
Little was seen of him since his ar
rival. He was, however. in the lobby
yesterday morning, and it is believed
that a newspaper printed in English,
containing resume of the grave
charges brought against him and en-
bellished with the generals portrait
i'm full uniform. came under his atten-
ton. He left the lobby. going to his
room. and the pistol shot followed
soon after.
