NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-A court
and jury are to decide whether
Prof. Geo. Gunton, famous as an
economist, philosopher, writer and
publisher of the magazine which
bears his name, is the legal hus-
band of Mrs. Rebecca Lowe Gun
ton, twice president of the General
Federation of Women's clubs,
wealthy in her own right and pos
sibly the best known club woman
in the United States.
Professor Gunton emphatically
denies the charge of his first wife
that his divorce from her was not
regularly obtained and her legal
fight to have the judgment set aside
will, he says, be bitterly contes ted.
Mrs. .Gunton smiles over the suit
for damages brought by the first
Mrs. Gunton, alleging alienation of
the professor-edit affections.
Professor Gunton was a poor
weaver in the cotton mills of Fall
River, Mass, in the early '70's. He
ran a barber shop in the evenings
as a side line. In the great textile
strike of &c he became conspicuous
as a leader. Mill owners blacklist
ed him and he became a writer,
mainly for labor papers.
He met his first wife, Mrs. Ame-
liza Gunton, now white haired
woman of 70, in 1887, after he had
made small reputation as a writer
upon economics and labor matters.
She was a widow with two children
and Is years his senior. She had
been a lifelong student of economic
questions and, she says, she rem
dered great assistance to Gunton in
his work. She helped him to write
a book and laid out a course of
reading for him. Then she con-
scented to marry him.
After the election of Mrs. Rebec-
ca Lowe of Atlanta as president of
the National Federation OF Wo-
mems clubs, she came to New
York, had luncheon with the Gun
tons, and impaired to them her de-
sire to make the Los Angeles con-
vention of her federation a grand

success. Gunton said he would go
out and help. With his wife he
made the trip. and a speech by him,
rejecting great glory upon Mrs.
Lowe, made a tremendous hit with
the delegates. Mrs. Lowe told him
that she was very grateful.
After the convention Mrs. Lowe
took apartments at a fashionable
New York hotel Then club women
began to talk. Mrs. Gunton heard
rumors. She appeared one day at

on the Northern Pacific near Hat

about 10000 tons at the present

THE HEART THAT HAS TRULY
LOVED NEVER FORGETS, BUT
AS TRULY LOVES ONTO THE
COLSE."

The leaves rustled in the trees
above him and little birds thrilled
out sweet morning air. Chill
dren's voices down the street made
joyous echoes. AS he paused mo-
ment in going to his office, the rus.
tie of woman's garments and the
quick click or little boot heels drew
near.
Good morning, Charlie! What
charming weather we are having!
| want to speak to you about that
last story you published in your
Saturday edition. Cd tell me tho
authors name. l cried nearly tho
whole time. How can she write
like that?"
But the young editor shook his
head and smiled.
"You have her public name,
Janet"
you may think me foolish, be-
ing woman, and to talk so, but
love her. l would give my prettiest
ring to meet her just once"
And the mans heart unconscious
ly echoed the words, 81 love her.
No, loved her. l am not so weak
as to love her now"
There had been an unintentional
listener to their conversation.
Within a windowed nook, half hid
den by vines and swaying roses,
a dark haired woman sat with her
hands clasped closely and eyes too
wull of pain to have any room for
tears.
and thus l see him after all
of these years! And to think it
has to be like this. At last, at last.

charming girl that was who compli-
mented my story so much. How
different from myself. And yet. if
| read her guiltless heart Alright,
we both love him, but hers will be
the happy love and mine, as is my
fate, only the weary pain"
Eight years before, letters not
altogether confined to their mutual
work had passed between the
young editor and his contributor.
A much warmer feeling had sprung
up until-yes, it had gone that far
they were engaged, and the time
set for future meeting. Circum-
stances arose that embittered his
life and wrecked hers. A man of
engaging manners, handsome face,
but heart in kin to the evil one,
was thrown across her path. She
was bewildered for time, mar
ried him, tried to love him, until
tshe found out the blackness of his
heart, then he deserted her before
the birth of her little daughter.
After that she took up the pen in
her slender fingers, kissed it, and
thanked God for her one talent
that would clothe and feed herself
and child.
1t was years before she ventured
tC send an article to her old lover,
and then under cover of a false
name and copied by strange hand.
But he knew it. He would have
recognized the soul had the story
come all the way from India. He
accepted it at once, paid for it. and
respected her desire to remain I'M
known.

Harris, the editor, Rosamond Clyde

The lecture was but half over
when the dreadful cry of fire! fire!
filled the house. The audience be-
came thoroughly demoralized; in
vain a few cool heads tried to pre-
serve something like order and to
evade the fatal crush at the doors
and stairway. Chas. Harris held
Rosamond to her seat by force and
tried to soothe her, while he look
ed about for some means of escape.
Even as he paused in grave per-
pleXity a calm voice on his right
addressed him.
Wrap this shawl about the
young lady's head and shoulders
and follow me. Hasten! we have

He saw only a pale, sweet face,
dark, earnest eyes, and Selling the
shawl, wound it around Rosamond
as directed; then, taking her into
his strong arms, followed. Under

And he, wondering at her unself-
ish kindness, the almost reckless
risk of her own life, turned and
obeyed her. But ere he had gone
entirely from her he saw her pause
and lift in her arms a screaming
child that had been abandoned.
How he succeeded in reaching fresh
air with his almost helpless burden
he scarcely knew; but, choking and
gasping for breath, he emerged to
the street. AS soon as he could
move he left Rosamond with friends
and turned to look for their dellv-
erer, He searched a long time
among the excited crowd, but at
last, at some distance from the
burning building, he found her,
alas! fatally burned and surround
ed by a plying group of bystand-
ers. The heavy hair was burned
away and the sweet face was char
red and blackened almost beyond
recognition; but the little child she
had wrapped in the folds of her
dress, and 1t was safe and unharm-
ed. She looked up as Charlie Har-
ris approached, and smiled family.

"At last. at last! Oh, my love"
and that was all; she died as he
gazed in mute sorrow upon her,
wondering who she was and what
her words could mean. Even as he

Gunton broke with his wife. He

quite far enough to be satisfied with

turn to fresh air. In the evening we
had glorious moon and road about

burned magnesium wire at the base of
the Sphinx and lighted up the face

sufficiently lame to be reminded of our
friends, the camels.

wheel. This wheel is just the same
as it was four thousand years ago, for
I saw one the other day which is at
least four thousand years old. Here
we see man turning barrel like
turbine affair which elevates the water
| from the stream or canal to his little
irrigation ditch: here is well sweep
arrangement and here man stands
in the water and dips the end of a
trough in and then raises it until the
water flows out over his land. In
this way the desert is being con-
verted into fertile fields
The people are terribly dirty and
subject to many ailments, chief among
which are consumption and blindness.
Nearly all have eye trouble caused
chiefly by superstitions fear. The
children in arms are pestered by flies
who bring contagion, but mothers
fear to brush the flies away for the
evil spirits will punish them.
The boats on the Nile, the native
boats I mean, are Of the same pattern
"a they were four thousand ye.rs ago.
We saw one in the Cairo Museum
and it is exactly on the same lines as
the modern ones. The English are
doing much to develop Egypt and
altho their power is purely advisory,
they are shaping the future of the
country.
We reached Carlo at five O'Clock in
the afternoon. The drive to the hotel
was strange one. Here we were
at last in the midst of another and
different civilization. The street
scenes are never tiresome. The
coloring of tunics, head-dress and
and the ever present fez, makes the
street fairly glow with beauty. In the
city you are surrounded not by Egyp-
tians alone, but by representatives., of
every race under the sun. The Turks
and Arobs predominant and their in
fuence is everywhere felt. But we
are told by authorities that the pure
Egyptian race is seen only in the
country and that there it is unaffected
by any other race. The Nile is practi-
cally Egypt. Commerce, customs, re-
ligion and the very national existence
has been moulded and fashioned by
this remarkable stream. Gradually
it's waters are giving life to thousands
of miles of hitherto waste places and
bring food and clothing to thousands
of inhabitants.
One first excursion from Cairo was
under the direction of our dragoman
Mahomet Sayed. This young fellow
is diamond in the rough. Al
Mohammedan, he has been educated
in Christian schools and while still
holding to the fundamental precepts
of his faith, his eyes are looking for
ward and not backward and he is
longing for better ways of living. He
is absolutely honest and has an in
nocent purity which one rarely finds
He likes Americans and
became devoted to us. We gave over
absolutely all money affairs to him.
He paid all bills, all 'sbakhsheesh,o all
everything and rendered detailed

is far up in the side of the mountain
and is restful place. Next day we
reached Sorrento where Marion Craw-
ford lives and from there we sailed
across the bay to Naples.
Our visit to Italy through short was
most inspiring. I have higher re-
gard for the Italian people than ever.
1t may respects we were treated
better there than in any country
since we left America. The Italian
people are waking up. They are
getting richer and better educated.
They dress better, as rule than do
most Europeans. The soldiers have a
manly bearing. We of America get
no idea of the Italian people from our
immigrants. The worst class as a
rule go to America. The country is
awake to the needs of it's time. It
knows the value of it's heritage and
and today American wealth seeks in
vain to buy off the treasures of Italian
art.
And now we are off for Egypt. The
continent seems as much like home
as we think of the future, as did Eng
land where we reluctantly left her
shores for the continent. Gradually
the world is becoming more nearly
akin in our experience in travelling!
That voyage from Brindisi to Port
Said! How we should like to blot out
it's memory. We left the harbor at
twelve, midnight and at 1906
we encountered the storm. The
captain and chief engineer and many
minor officers were sick. Do yon
blame us for being i'll? The captain
said he had never seen the like of it.
He said the Mediterranean was about
the worse piece of sea he ever
experienced. But sea sickness rarely
kills, though you want ever so much
to die. After sixty hours of untold
misery we reached Port Said, a most
detected party we were. We
didn't care whether we ever got
farther. We had intended to en-
bark for Palestine that evening but
preferred solid ground for time.
Port Said is a most cosmopolitan
city. Here because of the Suez canal.
is centered much of the commerce of
the world. 1t is oriental is custom
and dress and language, but the west
has had a profound influence. The
boot blacks can speak almost any
language, at least they know enough
to do business with all sorts and con-
ditions. They can spot "Yankee
Doodle" or a "Johnny Bullo or
'sTeuton" in minute. # you want
donkey, his name is "Yankee Doodle'
or ''Lord Kitchener," as you may be
or English.
We left next day for Cairo. We
seemed to be in dream land. These
people are living as they have lived
for thousands of years. Outside of
5he cities, modern civilization is un-
known. The villages are built of mud
almost entirely, the people live in filth
and squalor. Men and women dress
almost alike, save that, most of the
women wear wells over the lower part
