The story of "A Charming Young
Widow 1 Met on a Train" was recalled
one day recently to Bath bachelor
Who had similar experience while on
Il passage by rail from Bath to Boston,
resulting i'll his loss of a valuable gold
ring, which was intended for another
lady. The bachelor scraped acGuaint-
ance with pretty woman who was
travelling with her child and it hap
pened that Boston was her destination.
Between Bath and Portland the ac-
auaintance ripened rapidly and in
changing cars at Portland the bachelor
very politely and carefully took the
baby in charge. After the train left
Portland the lady discovered the ring
to which she appeared to take a great
fancy, and finally pursuaded the owner
70 let her try it on. The conversation
was SO delightfully."- carried until they
separated in Union Station in Boston
that the bachelor forgot all about the
ring until she had departed in cab.
The bachelor it is said has been thank
ing his lucky stars that she did not
leave the baby in exchange for the ring.
The somewhat sensational accounts
recently published in several papers
stating substantially that Miss Flor

become heir to $4,000 in 1907, the gift
Of Florence Winship Of England, does

borated or sustained by investigation

statements We're based was q COM
munication received through the mail
by one Of our local news reporters, with

hands Of Miss Mansfield who was much
surprised at its contents, and stated
that no one Of the family have airy
