CAPTURING A HUSBAND.
A Bold and DashinG Lady Was the
Mother of Robert Bruce.

Mother OF Robert Bruce.
Many a marriage suggests to an ir-
reverent curiosity the question, Did
the woman propose itY But one sell
dom finds actual historic proof that she
did. A resent delightful book on Scot
land has an interesting and apparently
authentic story of case where the wO-
man not only took the initiative, but
took it in a high handed fashion.
The young Countess of Carrick was
left widow by the death of her hus-
band while on one of the crusades.
The king became her guardian, and she
had good reason to fear that he would
force upon her marriage of policy.
She was a famous horsewoman and
often rode for day through her own
forest, attended only by a small mount
ed guard. One day she encountered a
young man to whom she was at once
much attracted. She asked him to re-
turn with her to her castle, but he had
some gallant adventure already in
hand and ungraciously declined the in
vitation.
At word from her her men-at-arms
made him a prisoner and bore him off
to Turnberry castle.
Two weeks Imprisonment brought
him to proper sense of the charms OF
his fair hostess, and knight and lady
were welded with the reluctant con.
sent Of the king.
The son of this romantic marriage
was Robert Bruce, whose splendid
patriotism and brave deeds are well
fitted to justify his mothers coura.

Tn. Old Fashioned wife.

A pretty young married woman said
to friend the other day: MARY is
such an old fashioned wife. She has
such queer notions about her duty to
her husband and home. Why, she de-
cllnes all invitations unless he is in
cluded and never under any circum-
stances Is away from home when he
returns at night.
Then she always gets up to break
fast with him and even goes so far as
to prepare certain favorite dishes for
him instead of leaving such fusslness
to the cook. She does not go away in
the summer until he is able to go, too,
and, in fact, she fuses over him in
the most absurd fashion"
