career of little Miss Bales, the three
months-old child of Mrs. Ophelia Bales

and her babe were in Chicago on their
way to Bar Harbor, where they will
spend the summer.
Mrs. Bales IS a Denver society wom-
an. A short time ago she started east
for the summer season, accompanied
by nurse and her baby. n few miles
east of Denver, while the train was
running at not less than As miles an
hour, the child lost it's balance and fell
out of the window. The wind was
blowing gale and this probably saved
the life of the little one, as it caught
the clothing of the youngster and car
ried it into pile of railroad ties.
The train was stopped ana search
was made. Miss Bales was uncon-
scious among the ties mile west of
where the train came to standstill.
Mrs. Bales returned to Denver by the
next train and the child was taken to
a hospital where the skull was tre-
banned The baby had sustained no
internal injuries and to-day it cooed
to it's mother as she looked after it's
comfort Physicians Of Denver pro-
nounce the case one of the most re-
markable on record because of the ten
der age of the child.

Married; Got One Kiss.

Paris.-The Prince de Vitaunal,
grand master of the Chevaliers of St.
Leo, who is now in Fontevrault prison,
where he is serving the sentence
passed upon him for swindling, has
just led to the altar Louise + azure, the
actress. The marriage took place in
the prison.
He wore a frock coat and carried in
his hand a silk hat. After the civil
ceremony the bride and bridegroom
were taken to the prison parlor for a
few minutes. Here, in the presence OF
the warden, they were allowed to con-
verse. Faithful to the order, the
warden permitted a kiss and glass of
champagne. Then the prince and
princess" separated, he going back to
his cell, she leaving the prison with

GRIP CAR STEED TOO
SLOW FOR AUTOMOBILE.
Husband, in Whirling
Devil Wagon, Puts Variations
in Poem Of Lochinvar.


His 'steed" proved not the best.
For all autos gong with cop along
Come whirling out of the west.
And Lochinvar, with his feelings ajar,
Watches his fair love weep,
For he and WHEY, and hubby, too.
Are locked in dungeon deep.
Chicago.-It was Christ ennie, of
No. 348 West Monroe street, who es-
sayed the role of Lochinvar. Mrs. Edith
Kline, of No. 1s6 Peoria street, gladly
jumped on his ''steed," and Frank Kin
ney, though he weighs Wv pounds,
started in pursuit. -
1t was early afternoon when Kinney
returned home from work. He met his
wife, dressed in her best, in front OF
their home, and while he wondered he
said nothing. Across the street cigar
sign attracted his attention, and to-
gether they walked to the corner, and
she waited, or at least he thought so,
while he went into the store and
bought "smoke."
Inside he met friend" and it was
nearly ten minutes before he came out.
At the door he looked one way and
then another, but he could see nothing
of his wife, and he wandered to the
alley.
There he saw Mrs. Kinney, best
clothes and all, running as fast as her
skirts would permit-at her side Christ
Yennie. All the anger in Mr.. Kinney's
200 pounds of avoirdupois came to the
surface, and he put one foot in front
of the other as fast as he could. but
though his wife stumbled ofte::, she
was understanding him and he called
for help. ~
Half a dozen men and boys Joined
the chase, but the clippers kept on and
circled around until they reached Mad
ison and Peoria streets again, the point
of starting. There Yennie lifted Mrs
Kinney onto the grip car Of cable
train, where both breathed easier as
they saw the rotund form of chubby,

long time. Then the women in the
crowd, and the men, too, had time to
stop for a moment and feel sorry for
the abandoned little one. But one
Howe, of the Oak street police station,
had other things to do than feel sorry
and made little discovery that he
kept to himself until he had a chance
to work up his clew and see if there

one accusing the other of abandoning

"That woman stole my baby" said
Mrs. Varico.
II did not" retorted Mrs. Tonella.
"You know you gave the child to me
to take to woman in Mott street who
makes business of disposing of ba-

Then the magistrate became greatly
interested and held the two women. He
