Find Strange Affinities-Queer Franks
Which Cupid Has Played.

How romantic it all is! WI at fascinat-
ing reading! 1t is just as if the charac-
tiers CT some charming novel had stepped
down into real life and were enacting
a roll of which the boldest 1 Dmancer 10
his most extravagant flights might have
conceived. A double bill. Two ro-
mances in real life which are stranger
than fiction.
Humble Origin of Rose Pastor.
Twenty-six years ago Rose Harriet
Pastor was born in AugustorO, Suwalk.
Russia, a child of the peasantry Tolstoi
and Gorky have told the world about. OF
this period of her life Miss Pastor says:
Il was only three years old when /
left Russia, but | think l can remember
a little about it, just a very little, faint
shadow of remembrance. Then there
was London, where we lived in White
chapel. and were very poor, indeed"
A chapter in her life which had its be
ginning in London in those early years
had an interesting sequel in New York
city recently, and reminds one Of the fact
that Pastor is rot the real name Of the
young Jewess. Her fathers name was
Jacob Weisslender, and about a year
after their removal to London he was di-
vorced from her mother, and all trace
Of the man was lost.
Finds Her Father.
Mrs. Weisslender married a man
named Pastor. and Rose took her step
fathers name. He died several years
ago, and the support of the family fell on
Rose, the eldest child. When she moved
to New York, about two years ago, and
obtained employment on the Jewish
Daily News, she set about to find her
father. Her friends assisted her, and
about IS months ago Bennett Lieberman,
who worked with her, discovered an cid
cObbler in a little shop on Scanned
street. The name on the sign was Yam
KEEL W~eisslender." Weisslender was
Rose Pastors father.
Mrs. Pastor and her daughter sought
the Scanned street place. The old shoe

New York City.-What queer prankS
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and lets his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses to look

that love pauses not to reasOn why, but
that it dares TO do, and even die, II need

the human heart. He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions, nor So

cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid

strangely linked the proud name OF John

readable OF the two.
Her Sweet Voice.
1t CHANGED that Z. r. Whitney, a cap
italist of Montreal, came to New York
last year for a long stay. He took rooms
at the Aston house. One day he called
I'D a business friend at the Grand Union
hotel. There was difficulty in getting his
party on the wire. But it wasn't Cen
trails" fault.
Instead of initiating the rather hasty
tones of Mr.. Whitney, as does the aver
age Central, Or giving him a Busy" this
generator on the other end of the line real
" tried to get the call for Mr. Whitney.
So sweet was her voice and SO charming
her manner that the impatient business
man at the other end was much i'm
pressed.
He got his party, an appointment was
made and next day found Mr.. Whitney
at the hotel to transact his business. The
interview over, again he sought the tele-
nhOne. At the switchboard sat a charm
ing young girl. Mr.. Whitney gave her
the number he wished, and when he
heard her ask "S1O0 Cortlandt" over the
wire, great light came owe him.
Her Pretty Face.
At once he recognized the voice-it
was the voice of the day before, when he
had been so courteously treated over the
wire. If the voice had pleased him, the
sweet-faced girl who gave him his call
delighted him. MI. Whitney is 70 years
old. but he hasn't forgotten the gallantry
of youth. In the twinkling of an eye he
had recalled the incident of the day be-
fore. and the blushing girl owned up that
II was her voice that he had heard over
the wire.
Now, Mr.. Whitney is a mar of decis-
ion. He admired the pretty telephone
girl and he decided that it would be a
saving of time if he could be nearer
her when ne wanted to use the phone.
It isn't necessary to recount right here
that perhaps there were other infiu-
ences that caused his decision.
At any rate, on the very next day
there appeared on the register of the
Grand Union the name "E. r. Whit
new. Montreal" He took an expensive
suite aid the Aston House knew him
no more.
Devotion Itself.
Every day found Mr.. Whitney at the
Central" Office of the Grand Union ho-
tel. Nobody could satisfy his wants as
coulu Miss Bennett. They chatted
pleasantly enough while he was wait
ing for his calls and finally the day

maker had taken unto himself a young
wife. Mother and daughter never again
revisited the place, and they have kept
their secret. A short time after the visit
Weisslender sold his shop and left the
city. He is now believed to be in Scran-
ton, Pa.

to the Hotel Aston, Forty-fourth street
and Broadway, where he toek suite

ready for his wedding.
Loyal to Old Friends.
In her prosperity Miss Bennett has
not forgotten her less fortunate friends
of her hello days. The bridesmaid
at the wedding is. to be Miss Ida
S%chwindt, another telephone operator
who presides at the switchboard of
the Park Avenue hotel. Mr.. Whitney
! has handed her a handsome check to
provide herself with a bridesmaids
gown. But Of this or of her elderly
fance's wealth Miss Bennett will not
speak.
Telephone Gossip.
There are certain things which at the
other telephone girls in New York have
heard, but which none Of the interested
parties will confirm. Call up any Cen
trail" and she will tell you the gossip.
These are, that Mr.. Whitney has already
settled S100, 900 upon Mr.. Bennett and
that he and her father were present at
the signing of the papers; that her we'd

that Miss Schwindt has received $500 for

about besides Standard Oil wickedness
and tainted" money, the beef trust in
gestigation, or the Hyde and Alexander
iasco.
What the Lovers Say.
OF Cupid's work, Mr.. Stokes says:
1--WE are not two; we are one in spirit"
And Miss Pastor echoes alike sentiment
when she says: Life is a riddle, OF
which love is the answer. Our souls met
and we knew that we belonged to each
other"
The gray-haired lover steps forward
with the spring of youth and says: See
here. I'm not an old man. I've never had
a days illness in my life, and the insur-
ance companies have accepted me for all
the insurance that I can carry. ! re-
gard myself as the most fortunate of men

premely happy for the rest or my days"
And the blushing maiden demurely
adds: s'Gur wedding will be a, very
quiet one, and after that we are going to

new and big world opens up before the
vision of the girl whose horizon has been
