imposed by Bradshaw's presence, she rushed to her

The real facts of the were that the American,
afraid the details of his escapade would eventually
leak out, decided that explanation coming from
himself would place him in far less ridiculous
light than other person made the disclosure.
He therefore made clean breast of the whole affair
to Edith, telling his story with much naive
humor that although she strongly disapproved of his
conduct in spying upon Mrs. Warren and her son,
Bradshaw escaped lightly that score, Best of
all he succeeded in making Edith laugh with him
rather than at him.

ROMANCE OF TWO ARTISTS

that old New England town more
than half a century ago, and her
family had come here among the
early settlers more than a century

In 1866 this daughter of the

success, handicapped throughout
by a desperate lack of funds. In

The American girl became the
friend of her instructor, his wife

Miss Gardner, especially, but to
any American woman, necessarily

would not marry Bouguereau
against the opposition of his

as long as the old mother lived,

AT this time Elizabeth Gardner

TOWN OF ROCKEFELLER.
Station in the Suburbs of Chicago
Named for Multi-Millionaire Is
Sole Owner of Name.

Chicago is displaying a new
name on its street cars. 1t is that
of Rockefeller. Probably no other
city in this country has such a priv
ilege, for Chicago now has
a suburb that bears the name
of the man so often seen in
print nowadays, and this has be-
come easier of access to Chicago
by the extension of the Chicago
& Milwaukee electric line. Big
placards on the Evanston cars are
now announcing that through
traffic from Chicago, Evanston
and Rockefeller is now on.
Since the electric line reached
Rockefeller houses are being built,
property is changing hands, and
now a Chicago man has gone out
there to run a hotel. The place is
connected with all of the aristo-
cratic suburbs of the north shore.
There are people out in this lit
tie place in Lake county who hope
Mr.. Rockefeller will yet feel in.
clined to do something for the
only city, town, village or cross
roads in the country that bears his
name. 1t is related at Rockefel-
Ter that the capitalist asked that
a town on a new line of railway
that was building should be named
for him, and the selection of Rock
efeller is the subject of an inter
esting little story.
At that time the line now
known as the Wisconsin Central
was being built through the re-
gion and Mr.. Rockefeller was a di,
rector of this company and at a
meeting of the directors he Incl.
d~entally asked if one of the new
towns that were springing up
could not be named for him.
1t so happened that the station
that had been selected to bear the
directors name had been named
for John Holcomb, who had been
liberal in furnishing right of way
through his lands. But Miss Hol-
comb, who had been a principal in
a North side Chicago school, had
established a school on her ia
Tiers farm. Here she intended toI
fit young men and women for col.
lcge. 1t might be that Mr.. Rookie.
in a town honored by his
own name, might take some inter
est in an institution that promised
to flourish under the guidance of
an accomplished woman.
But that is all that ever came of
it. There has been a sign board
bearing the name of Holcomb sent
to the new station. This was not
put up and it is now in possession
Of Fred Holcomb. Another bear
ing the name of the director of the
was sent along and was
quickly put in place on the side of
he station and is there today.
