The Rate Bills.

Friday, January IL, was agreed upon
by the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce as the date for
the consideration of the general sub

are in the hands of the committee,
but it is now regarded as likely that
Chairman Hepburn's measure will
form the basis for any action by the
committee.
The committee fixed Tuesday, jan

the extension from 2S to 40 hours as
the time that cattle may be allowed to
remain in cars. Various humane or

She pursued the boy into his own
house. She threatened she would
show him up; she harangued him,

not been for his promise to the King
there is no doubt she would nave got

the Duke walked about his rooms try

EnS|ONGr of BOY Duke FOi|gd
by Experienced Edward.
BY LADY MARY

II ONDON, July 2I.-Mrs. Ather-
ton, who has just been divorced
by her husband, Colonel Ather-
ton, is the type of woman who makes
history and domestic tragedy. Five
or six years ago she was the talk
of South Africa and the fame of her
capers there soon spread to England,
and every boudoir in London echoed
with tales of her "goings on" This
was in the days of the South African
war, and Mrs Atherton divided in
terest with De Wet and Butler and
Roberts; in fact, in certain circles she
was more spoken about than any of
the three popular generals. She is the
style of woman for whom men, more
especially boys under fve-and-twenty,
sacrifice honor and gold galore.
Mrs Atherton's special prey in
South Africa was Duke, a boy just
one-and-twenty, heir to a princcly
fortune, and whom she knew to be
engaged to beautiful girl with whom
he had grown up. He had been in
love with this girl all his life until
he fell into the tolls of Mrs. Atherton,
who literally gave him no chance of
escape, pursuing him from post to
post. Flattered by her attention he
lost his head; forgot, too, his hancee
and was in the very act of eloping
with her when his soldier servant,
who had found it out, whispered the
secret to the colonel of the regiment,
who promptly frustrated Mrs. Ather-
tons move, and in less than week
afterward the Duke was recalled to
England and his family made aware
of the intrigue.
The mother of his iancee proved
his best friend in the matter, for were
it not for her there is no doubt Mrs.
Atherton would still have got him
back The lady in question went
straight to the King, explained to him
what was happening, told him of her
daughters grief. and showed how
disastrous it would be for the credit
of society were a Duke to run away
with and probably end by marrying
a woman of Mrs. Atherton's reputa-
ton. The King agreed, and the in
slant the steamer conveying the Duke
arrived at Southampton messengef
was sent on board requesting him
that evening to go to Buckingham
Palace.
As all abe world knows Edward
VII is a past master in diplomacy.
He accomplished with the Duke in ten
minutes by coaxing what bullying
would never have done. In fatherly
way he said. Don't make an ass Of
yourself, my boy. If you do you
will be sorry to the day of your death.
| know these women; | know them"
The upshot was before the boy left
Buckingham Palace he had promised
the King that i'll less than month
his discarded fiancce would be his
wife. And he kept his word Never
had ducal bride such a rush with a
trousseau. Dressmakers were UP day
and night completing it, and the
