Among the other women in the
woodland hotel, far in that massive
forest which parallels the southern
shore of Lake Superior, Constance
I'enrhyn stood alone by reason of her
beauty and her wealth. She was 2S
years old, of large graceful figure,
dark gray eyes, black eyebrows,
raven hair and a complexion of pure
white and red. Her splendid face
wore a sweetly serious look and she
seemed a self-contained woman. OF
mind and heart. In her ten seasons
of society she had seen no man whom
she could love. She had been wooed
ardently, but had remained ice- 1t
had been her fate to arouse the desire
of possession in many men Wherever
she went there were lovers signing
in her train. They could not say
that she treated them unfairly, or
that one was more esteemed than an
other. One and all they were cour-
teously received and, when their times
came, as courteously though firmly
dismissed. She often told herself that
she could not understand love; that
she had no inherent incapacity to love
and that she would die an old maid
She believed this.
1t must be understood that she had
no irremovable prejudice against
matrimony or insensate desire to pre-
serve her freedom at any cost. She
was convinced that woman is incom-
p1ete without marriage and she would
have assumed gladly the duties of
wifehood if she could have found a
man to. win .her heart This man had
never come, and now. although she
did not look to be older than p, sho
viewed the near approach of the thir-
ties with disquietude and the prospect
of a loveless, childlesS age had no
charms for her.
These were the men at this hotel
who loved her and wanted her:
Erasmus Moody, professor of politi-
cal economy in a state university;
a slight, nervous man with eyeglasses
and a tendency to dyspepsia, who re-
joiced in a flow of language and had
a belief that wisdom must appeal to
a woman of Miss Penryhns intellect
ual brow. She discussed coinage with
him, consumption, production and
kindred topics and seemed to enjoy
him nightly. He was afraid of the
water and as she spent much of her
time on, or in, the lake he was handi-
capped.
Herbert Graham, 35 years old; law
yer in excellent practice; good look
ing, but not SO good-looking as he
thought himself; rather a cocksure
man and a bold wooer. He valued the
other lightly and had felt certain of
success since she had told him that
to put jury in tears or sway the
multitude from the hustngs seemed
to her the greatest and most desir-
able achievement possible to man.

Testimony for Spraying.

A goodbye kiss is a little thing,
With your hand on the door to go,
But II takes the venom out of the sting

That you made an hour ago
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare

But it smooths the burrows out OF the

Ard lines the forehead you once
called fair
In the years that have flown away.

Two Districts in Alexandria County
Against Closing Saloons.

Wo Districts In Alexandria County
Against Closing Saloons.
Especial to The Tlmes-D ispatch.)
ALEXANDRIA, VA. February 1.-THE
question OF licensing saloons in Arling-
ton and Washington" districts OF Alex
andra county was yesterday voted upon
by the citizens of that county. The of
ficial returns received In this city TO-DAY
indicate that the saloon men carried the
day by a vote of 2 to l. The total
vote was: ''Wets." 2l2; "drys,' LOG. The
vote in the districts was as follows: Ar
linston, "wets." 120: "drys." 6s. WASH
inston. "wet,." 80: "drys." 81.
The temperance people in the county
some time ago started movement to
do away with the saloons In these two
districts in the county. The liquor men
put UP an equally hard fight fol their
continuance, and the above. vote shows
conclusively that the residents Of that
county prefer to have the saloon men
continue. The liquor men pointed out
that to revoke their license would mean
a big loss In the revenue of tho county,
and they further pointed out that 1t would
necessarily culminate In an increase of
taxes In these two districts In order to
maintain the county roads.

SPEAK FAVORABLY
OF sTORRENS SYSTEM
Hon. S. S. r. Patteson and Col.
Anderson Say'it Would En-.
nance Value Of Property.

Evidently public interest is growing IN
favor Of the proposed law to put tho
Torrens system Of registering land Into
effect in Virginia. and nearly every citi-
zen who Is familiar with its provisions
seems to BIO In favor OF 1t.
1t will DO recalled that tho bill was Of
fered somo time ago in the House by
Hon. David H Lealso, Of Goochland, and
is now pending before tho House Com
lnittee for Courts OF Justice. Bills on
this line 1,ave been offered at nearly
every session for several years, but have
either died in committee or been defeated
Friends OF the measure contend that TINS
Is due to the fact that tho public mas
never sufficiently understood tho new de-
pnrture to appreciate Its advantages
Most Of tho lawyers and persons accus-
toned to tho frequent transfer Of prop
erty are in favor of tho bill and say 1t
would be Of great advantage to tho state
II adopted.
Tho principle has been acted upon ia
vorably by tho State Bar Association and
has been earnestly advocated by several
leading lawyers l,ere and elsewhere in
the State for many years
II have no doubt the TorrenB system
OF registering land is a good one" said
Hon. s. s. p. Patteson last night. "and
I believe II put into operation It would
enhance the value Of real estate in vlr-
ginia. att
II am heartily in favor Of the system,"
said Senator George Wayne Anderson,
land will support 1t with great pleasure
II it comes to the Senate for action. AS
understand It. the .Torrens system has
advantages over the present one in Vir-
ginia, and when once a piece Of property
is so registered there can never be any
more trouble about tho title. A man may
take his real estate then and negotiate
1t as he would bond, and In doing away
with the cumbersome. uncertain mode
now in vogue and supplantlng 1t with
the Torrens system, l have no doubt the
value Of real estate, generally speaking,
would DO enhanced"
