HOW WOMEN OF HIGH DEGREE FIGURE

YHIS WAR between Japan and Russia has
brought to the fore again many interest
i ing tales about the Cars secret service
systematic most elaborate and successful
ever devised. On the secret payrolls are women,
thousands of them, and they scattered through
out all the capitals of Europe.
The Russian government has found that its
women spies cleverer thaa men, and the Cars

These women-are close mouthed yet very brilliant
and charming-in fact, Russian women are famous
for their fascinating qualities. They win men cas-

Her Husbands Legal Guardian.

nected with the marriage of Miss
Myrtle Thyme and Albert Grayland at
LIE Seuer. Mimi, recently. The groom
was only 20 years of age, and, being
an orphan without a guardian, was con-
sequentiy unable to obtain license.
The young lady, though nearly two
years younger. was still over IS, and
of lawful age to get married. Neither
one wanted to wait for the young man
to grow older, SO the difficulty was
settled as follows:
Miss Thyme formally and legally
adopted her affianced, and then, as
guardian, gave the necessary consent
to marriage license being issued to
him. The document was duly given
out. and justice of the peace married
the couple.

Mr.. Carnegie is student of Scotch

Sam had never done. His admiration
for Nora bade fair to remain a secret
known of all but the one most inter-
ested. Daily Sam sat at the table and
listened to Nora's icy tones. Daily he
arose with the stern resolve that be-
fore the sun had set he would have
told this woman of that which so op-
pressed him; yet each day, after he
had dined, he stole furtively away to
the hat rack and slouched across the
street to his barn, gazing down at
his feet with abasement on his soul.

sat down without look at any of his
neighbors. To him it seemed that
Nora regarded him with yet more Wis
