THE GAY SET IN NEW YORK
HAVE TWO VERSIONS OF
MRS. YERKES' DECISION TO
MARRY MINER.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-What the
real motives were that changed
Mrs. Chas. T. Yerkes from a widow
of a month and day into the
bride of Wilson Miner will prob
ably never be told.
1t is to be surmised that the gay
youthful benedict will never give
recount of his wooing, and it is
more than probable that the recent
widow and NEWLY made wife will
never relate the truth of that bur-
ried marriage.
Mrs. Yerkes-M Miner admits the
As summers that she has lived,
though to tell the truth she does
not look them. She Is about 16
years the senior of her new lord
and master.
No matter how ardent the six
footer from California may have
been in his love making, still Cos
sip asks:
"Why did she marry him."
AS Mrs. Yerkes, the widow of the
railroad magnate, she had every
thing that she could desire. With
her vast wealth she could have had
the entree into the most exclusive
of New York's ultra set. That is,
she could if she had made the eff
fort and conformed to everything
that was conventional, conservative
and stiff. She had been kept from
the fashionable side of life on &C
count of certain little affairs of
her husband, and, according to all
sides, social preferment was one
of the things at which she vainly
grasped.

CASE OF GRAFT
IN THE ARMY
DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12.-
Every day small instances of graft
are coming to light. The latest in
wolves officers of the regular army.
1t has come out that Col. Clarence
X. Edwards, chief of the bureau of
insular affairs, and Major Edie,
with several other officers who
were members of the Taft party
which visited the Philippines last
summer. have tried to collect mile
age both ways, although they tray
eled free on a government trans
port. .l"
Other officers, it is discovered,
have been in the habit of making
circuitous trips to points to which
they were ordered, and charging
for the long route. sn
The appropriations committee of
the house of representatives con-
Quoted an investigation of this mat
ter lately, occasioned by a request
for 100000 from the war depart

the time and lost no time in get

The guesses are many. Some OF
the women of the gay New York
set declare that it was foolish pride
that caused the widow Yerkes to
become Mrs. Wilson Miner. These
assert, with knowing mods of the
head, chat her vanity was seriously
wounded when she discovered that
she was not alone in the affection
of the traction millionaire. 1t was
bravado, these knowing ones claim,
and that she wanted to show the
world that there was a young, a
handsome, gay man, longing to
marry her. -
There are others, with sly wink
and knowing smile, who claim that
the groom was the man who. feared
rival, and insisted On a hasty
marriage. These say that there had
been a friendship existing between
the couple for a year or more. After
the death of Mr.. Yerkes the newly
made groom considered that others
would be applicants for her heart
and hand. That he then began a
persistent counting for an immedi-
ate marriage, and that finally she
was prevailed upon to give her con-
sent.
The ceremony was then perform
ed with the distinct understanding
upon her part that the wedding
: should not be made known for sew
eral months to come. 1t is said
that she determined to go through
period of conventional mourning,
and finally go to Europe and there
Miner was to follow. He, how
ever, feeling that even document
airy proof was not sufficient, let
some friend into the secret, and
that this friend proved his friend
ship by rushing off to a newspaper
Office with the news.

AS TO WHETHER ALICE OR GIL.
BERT WAS MORE TO BLAME
1T WOULD BE HARD TO SAY.

1t was Alice Graves wedding eve,
and the young people with whom
she was favorite were busy put.
ting the last finishing touches to
the floral decoration of the village
church. The groom, Gilbert War
ner, had proposed to give a supper
and reception at the hotel, but
Alice had seemed strangely set up
on her own plan of leaving imme-
diately after the ceremony for her
future home away in the south.
The girls wondered whether Joe
Curtis would be at the marriage.
Some thought he would shrink from
the ordeal of seeing his old sweet
heart the bride of another, while
others were of the opinion that
Alice's treatment to him had es-
tranged the love he had once felt
for her.
They did not know that their
talk had been overheard by a tall,
dark gentleman who stood just in
side the vestry door; and that their
careless words had planted a sharp
pang of doubt and jealousy in a
heart whic han hour before had
been trimming with happiness of
loving and trusting bridegroom.
Up at the little Graves home
stead just on the borders of the
village, the bridal party was assem-
bled. Alice, arrayed in a complete
travelling costume, slowly and pen
sively strolled down the walk -,
paused for a moment under the ar
Dor, then approaching the little
gate which opened upon a green
lane, she stood looking across the
fields toward the woodlands. The
sound of swift approaching wheels
aroused her. 1t was Joe Curtis in
his gig, driving rapidly down the
lane Before Alice had time to
turn away he drew up suddenly op-
posite the gate on which she lean
ed.
81 don't know that I ought to
intrude upon you at such a time,
Alice" he said, "but I've just seen
old Aunt Peggy Barnet, and she
was speaking of you.
A pang Of remorse shot through
the girls heart.
How was it that she had been
preoccupied by her own affairs so
as to have forgotten old Peggy Bar
net? the good and kindly soul whom
all the young people called aunt,
and of whom Alice had been since
her babyhood special favorite.
ooh, If l only had time!" she
said remorsefully. 81 feel as though
could never forgive myself for be-
ing so forgetful of the dear old
woman, and she watching for and
expecting me. "Joe," she added,
looking up hastily, edo you think
you could drive me there and back
in your gig? 1t would not take 10
minutes and Ill have an hoCN
before me-" she added with blush.
"If you choose, Alice" he an
swered, little hesitatingly.
At the church every seat was
filled, and an impatient crowd
awaited the brides arrival. 1t was
already past the important hour.
Two messengers had been dispatch
ed to inquire into the cause of the
delay, and in the vestry room the
groom and his attendants awaited
the expected summons. Suddenly
the vestry door opened and one of
the deacons of the church entered
with a face in which i'll news was

A Double Mistake.

so palpably written that Gilbert
Warner started to his feet.
What is it?" he said quickly.
What has happened?"
And then he heard what every
one in the village was already re-
peating to each other. Alice Graves
and Joe Curtis were seen driving
at break-neck speed down the Mill
road in the direction of the station
to catch the northbound train, no
doubt.
Fifteen years had passed, and the
village where Alice Graves had
lived had prospered, md was fast
growing into little town with
bright prospects ahead. One eve
ming a tall, grave, middle aged gem
tleman walked slowly up the street,
with his eyes thoughtful wander
ing over the faded house and it's
neglected grounds. Pausing where
a boy was swinging on gate of
one of the new houses, he said:
Il see the property over there is
for sale. Who Is the present own
err"
odd Mr.. Landon Graves was the
owner, but he's dead now - been
dead two years-and the place be-
longs to his daughter. Alice"
miss Alice? You-mean Mrs.
Curtis" said the gentleman, hest
tating at the last name.
"She amt Mrs. Curtis. That's
my mothers name" replied the
boy.
And the lady who had been stand
ing unseen among the shrubbery,
came hastily forward.
Miss Alice Graves had never
been married." she said. "I sup
pose you must somehow have heard
the old story which got about of
her running away with Mr.. Curtis
on the evening she was to have
married another. 1t was all a mis-
take, a false report. She merely
rode a short distance with him in
a gig. to take leave of an old lady
with whom she was fond. But the
horse taking fright at something,
ran away, throwing them both out.
People believed it to be an elope-
ment until, some hours after the
two were found on Mill road, Alice
badly bruised ad Joe with his leg
broken. The man she was to have
married went away without a
word. "Joe Curtis is my husband
now" she added with a smile, "and
Alice Graves, though she has not
lacked offers. has never married.
She could not easily get over a dis
appointment like that"
The stranger made no reply, only
pulled his felt hat lower over his
brow, and Mrs. Curtis added: eff
you would like to inquire about the
place you will find Miss Graves at
home. | saw her upon the poarch
few minutes ago."
She watched him as he went
slowly down the street.
He thinks that did not recog-
nize him. AS if | would have said
what | did about Alice to anyone
but Gilbert Warner!
When Gilbert Warner knocked
at the door of the Graves house,
1t was opened by fair, graceful,
sweet looking woman, in whom he
had no difficulty in recognizing
his old love, Alice. but it was not
until he stood in the full light of
the parlor lamp that she knew him
and then she involuntarly drew
back a step or two, and looked at
him with a white face as though
she had seen a ghost.
"Alice-don't you know me?" he
said, holding out his hand.
