which brought her 20 her feet with

outlined against the -rrty light of the
outer passage the erect and graceful
figure Of the king.
"SIre. one Instant and mademoiselle

"Do not call her" He entered and
closed the door behind him. "Francoise,

face buried In his hands, and she could
tell by the catch OF his breath that he
was weeping.

And so the moment had In very

this last great step. but even that was
too long for the patience of the king.
"Will you not. Francoise?" lie cried.
"May God make me worthy Of such

And so their double oath was taken,
an oath which was to be tested In the

their years, and yet neither broke the
promise made hand In hand on that

FRISCO ROMANCE
COMES TO LIGHT
Husband And Wife Separated
By Earthquake
One Supposed Other Dead and Buried
BODY With Honors-To BE
Reunited.
TWO CHILDREN WITH THEM

Milwaukee. Dec. IA husband
who believed his wife dead will be
reunited with the woman who buried
what she thought to be his body and
wore her widows weeds for months,
when Mrs. Hattie Politz. who passed
through Milwaukee today on her way
to stockton Cal, reaches her jour
ney's end. BY a within OF fate as
strange as that which parted them
their mourning has been ended.
II Is one of the most remarkable Of
the stories which grew out of the San
Francisco earthquake. At that time
the Politz family--father, mother
and two children-was living In San
Francisco. Mrs. POLITE and her hus-
band we're injured severely when the
building In which they were. living
was wrecked by the earthquake, and
were taken to different hospitals.
Told Husband Is Dead.
Mrs. POLITE recovered slowly, and
when she was strong enough to hear
bad news they tod her that one OF
her children had been killed. The
other was with her. She asked about
her husband and would not rest until
She learned of his fate. she was told
that his charrsd BODY had been found
In their Nome.
With her child, the body of the 9TH
err, and what she believed was her
husbands corpse, burned so badly
that the features could not be recog-
nized. Mrs. POLITE started east for
| her old home in Shawano, Wis. She
had the bodies buried in Oshkosh,
and took up her ,onely life in Shaw
ano.
Mrs. POLITE had an interest in a
ranch near Stockton, and some time
ago wrote a ranchman who lived near
II to make inquiries about 1t. In re-
plying he told her there was a man
] living on 1t who said he was her hus-
band. and told his neighbors that his
wife had been killed in the San Fran
cisco earthquake.
Mourning Brought to End.
| The wife made Inquiries by tele-
graph and telephone, although at
first believing the man was an i'm
poster. The man on the ranch re
sponded as eagerly. though incredu-
lously. At last each became con-
vinced that the other was alive. and
Mrs. Polltz started on her journey to
her husband and her second honey
moon. Her husband, she learned
Icould find no trace of his family when
he was discharged from the hospital
and, after long search, was forced TO
Ibelieve his wife and children dead.
There is nothing to indicate whose
body It was that MRS. POLITE brought
east with her and burier at Oshkosh

When Colt Killed a Man.

Another famous case of n quarter
OF a century ago was that of John c.
Colt convicted of the murder of a
creditor. The unusual means taken
to dispose of the victims body was
one OF the features that attracted
wide attention to this case. Cot
was a business man of good stand.
Ing in the community. Infatuated
by persistent creditor, he attacked
and killed the man. put the body in
a box and shipped II to New Orleans.
All OF the wealth of Colts brother.
who was the inventor OF the revolver

posal of the counsel retained for
Colts defense. But Colt was convict

suicide an hour or two before execu-

FAMOUS TRIALS
IN NEW YORK CITY
Recalled By The Thaw-White
Murder Case
Jim Fisk, Nan Patterson and Others
Which Figure I'm Sensations OF
Metropolis.
THE BIG CITY REvELs IN THEM

New York. Dec. A. 1t is scarcely
an exaggeration TO say that New
Workers are counting the days until
the trial of Harry Kendall Thaw,
slayer OF stanford White. the noted
architect, shall begin. The Ameri-
can metropolis dearly loves a IA
nous murder trial. And the trial
about to begin promises 10 oe one Of
the most famous in the criminal his
tory of New York. The prominence
OF the Thaw family socially, the
wealth of his parents, the circum-
stances SURF ounding the young mans
marriage TO Evelyn Nesbit, and the
spectacular scene In the midst of
which he fred the bullets into the
breast of the man. who, he asserted,
had betrayed his wife. all add inter-
est to the trial.
Much Public Interest.
II is not always easy to account
for the intense interest that the pub
lie displays in murder cases. Almost
every day adds to the list of homl-
cldes in Greater New York. 1t is
only those at Intervals OF about
every two years that the city is
aroused by one OF those cases that
become famous and are remembered
after all the participants have passed
from the scene. The records show
that II love intrigue is involved in
the case It Is most apt to attract wide
| attention. Deep mystery, extraorii-
nary brutality or flendishness, and
the social prominence of the princi-
pals oftentimes serve 10 attract the
public attention. Murder accompa-
MED by robbery seldom attracts
more than a passing notice from the
public at large.
stokcs-Fisk Case.
In the case OF Edward s. Stokes, a
ioNt iuliiSut anu Nnt wealth. anu
prominence OF both the slayer and
his victim all combined to make 1t
one of the most famous cases in the
criminal history of America. The
tragedy occurred in 1871. but is still
wildly remembered by old New
Workers Stokes was a man OF con-
siderable wealth, very energetic
and promising business man, who,
nevertheless, had not fortified him
self against the temptations of a
fashionably dissipated life in New
York. He shot and killed Jim"
Fisk. one OF the notorious characters
of his day who was long the partner
of Jay Gould. Added interest was
given the crime by the general belief
that II was actuated by Jealousy be-
tween the two men over the notori-
Gus "Josie" Mansfield. Subsequent
developments tended to show that
the real cause was that Stokes be-
lieved that Fisk was trying to ruin
him in his business. Stokes was tried
several times. The first trial result
ed In a verdict of guilty, and a SEN
tence OF death The end Of It. was
that he served several years in the
state prison and upon his release re-
turned to New York a broken down
man.
When Colt Killed Man.
Another famous case OF a quarter
OF century ago was that of John C.
Colt convicted of the murder of a
creditor The unusual means taken
to dispose of the victims body was
one OF the features that attracted
wide attention to this case. Cot

the Tombs and in the confusion Colt
was for a few minutes forgotten.
What was said to be his dead body
was found In his cell. Yet tradi-
ton has always prevailed that the
fire was a part of a conspiracy by
means of which Colt could escape
and substituted body be placed in
his cell.

barley in it. In Scotland the soups are all made by boiling the meat. Thus two courses are provided from the cut or fowl that an American cook would utilize for one dish.
 The meat may be a piece of beef. a leg of mutton, shank of veal, or a rabbit or a fowl with a savory dress ing. If it is fowl, it is probably the famous cock leel1ie, which Sir Walter Scott extols, or chicken frfar," a remainder of olden days when the finest cooking in the country was done by the monks that followed Mary Queen of Scots from France.
 One may trace a French origin in many dish of national repute by the use of leeks, chives, parsley and other vegetables, which, before the sixteenth century were unknown and unappre- ciated in that northern cline where they now attain luxuriant growth.
 Fish is plentiful and cheap every where in Scotland, because even the very interior of the island is no dis tance from the ocean. Splendid cod, whitings, nackerel, skate, ling, herring haddocks and founders are part of everyday living The great catches of hadd5ck on the coast of Aberdeenshre are utilized by piklncg, then the fish is dried on the rocks. The tiny village of Findon, with its only industry of fish curing, has given it's name to the famous finnan haddie ScJtchmen are keen anglers, and no fish of any coun- try surDasses the trout pulled from a brook that has meandered it's way through peat bog.
 Of vegetables Scotland boats no such varletI as we on this side of the Alt lantic. There is an abundance of po- tatoes, cabbage, kale, carrots, turnips, parsnips, cauliaower lettuce, radishes and peas all of which are in daily use.
 The sun in that northern climate is not hot enough to rlpen peaches, grapes or Llums. There are fine pears in Scotland however, and a poor imi- tatt5n of apples; these have to be trained against white-washed wall to attain anything like the quality of our fall fruit.
 But no country can surpass Scotland for it's luscious crops of cherries, cur rants, gaoseberries, rasEberries and strawberries: they attain size and a iuicinests of which we do not even dream. They are plentiful, therefore cheap, and all summer long they edd much to the simplicity of the national diet.
 The Scotch housewife like the Scotch jam factory-9uts up such jel- lies, marmalades and jams as stand unexcalled by the world. and so from the preserve cupboard comes many a delciou, addition to the dryness of oatcakes.

Some of the Europeans are watchful and touchy enough In an address de- 1ivered to the mayor of Venice the oth- CT day by signor Marconi who had just been presented with medal, he said: When one day war shall rage in these seas, may Autobiography in- form the world with lightning speed of the victory of Italy" At Budapest, where Parliament is in session, several delegates expressed their astonishment at Signor Marconfs speech, and said it was extremely regrettable that the diff ferences between Austria and Italy should be aggravated in this way. Prince Ferdinand Lobkowitz, president of the Austrian delegation, observed: 'Signor Marconi spoke of war in these seas, that is, the Adriatic, not of war in general but directly alluded to the case of an Austro-Italian conflict. That is the more to be deplored as there has just been an exchange of reassurlng communications between the Cabinets of Vienna and Rome The vice president of the delegation, Dr. syl- vester declared that signor Marconrs utterances were of d most unheard-of character Both Baron Aehrenthal and the entire Austrian public desire noth- ing else but peace; over there, war and victory is spoken of. I can only repeat, it is an unheard-of case. This is not as if some small podesta should receive a small deputation from Trento at the Italian frontier, and assure them of Italian unity This time it is a man of European name, who, in a gathering of an official nature, directly alludes t9 an Austro-Italian war;"

 There are temperate households in Ecotland where milk is the beverage served at the last meal; sometimes it is whey. If you have tasted that Iiuuid you can imagine why the Eng fish cavaliers nicknamed Scottish Puritans "whey faces
 In some country houses the last meal is a steaming bowl of sowans, a strange. sour connection made from what farlna remains in the husks of eats. If you would know how sowans are made, here is a graphic description of the dish by an Englishman who found himself lodged one night in a Scotch cr-ft:
