the picnic he should meet Miss Knowi-
| ton. and meeting Miss Knowlton had
almost become an obsession with him.
He climbed over the stagings and plat
forms with light heart as he imagin-
ed the manner in which they should
meet. He rather fancied an introduc-
ton under the trees. He would ad-
vance with barred head and bow low
over her hand. Then she would give
him one of those sunny smiles that al
most seemed to be her habitual express
sion, and they would go walking to-
gether in the leafy shade. Over and
over he mentally rehearsed this scene
until it became almost real to him.
But at the last moment there came
q complication at the factory, and 1t
was after IL when Travers finally got

at last he came to the lake lunch was

The minister and his wife insisted
that he have something to eat, and
then motherly Mrs. Rumford took him
In charge and introduced him to every
one in sight, but Ada Knowlton was
nowhere to be seen.
He made himself agreeable to the
others, but his eyes continually sought
sight Of the pink dress and golden
head that had been the attraction. He
had seen them drive past on their way
10 the lake, and he had carefully noted
the dress. but not glimpse Of 1t did
he get until well along In the after

Here and there the surface Of the
bake was dotted with small boats and
canoes, and in one Of the latter he
saw the dash Of pink that seemed to
communicate its color to his face. Miss

tralto voice that came TO her after an
operation on her throat. is winning Miss
Mary Stuart a reputation as a concert

delicate operation on her throat. The
result OF this operation. said the special
list who performed it. would probably be
that she would develop a fine voice
But she must not try TO use all her
voice at once.

found that the doctor has propbesied
rightly. She began to sing while playing

heard her voice were struck with its
wonderful power.

Stuart began at once to have her new

CAB SERVICE is CHEAP
IN CUBA'S CAPITAL

The one cheap thing in Havana IS
the cab service The toll for one con-
tinuous ride between any two points
in the city is about Is cents in American
money. Moreover. the Havana coach is
a luxurious victoria Instead Of the
clumsy twO-wheeled cab with which we
are familiar. and for which We are
charged from 81 to s., according TO the
avarice Of the cabman and the Victims
patience. Yet the Havana driver makes

The country for miles TO the east
west and south OF Havana Is raDidIy,
becoming a paradise for owners OF
motor cars. says a writer in Worlds

plishment in most sections Of Cuba. and
already there are completed hundreds
of miles OF smooth drives along which
one can spin for hours. beneath the
pIumage Of parallel rows of rovaI
palms. It is impossible to compare ne
country and its inhabitants with other
lands frequented by tourists. 1t has a
distinct individuality, and as one rlides

NO COURT OF APPEAL.

The terribly severe sentences which
have been imposed by a country justice
of England for the most trifing offenses
have opened up a discussion of the as
tonishiug fact that there is no court OF
criminal appeal in England. a court
which exists in every other civilized
country in the world. In the civil ac-
tions an appeal can be carried to the
highest tribunal In the land--the Law
lords, sitting as the house of lords court
of appeal-even * the case should in
volve no more than 500. In criminal
convictions there Is only one course open
to the prisoner who would dispute the
appeal to any higher court, no matter
how monstrous his sentence may APP
pear; he can only appeal to the home
secretary 10 have his case reopened.-

greatest weakness is for babies On her
return from Paris her majesty paid a.
visit 10 the aged Lord Leicester, the
grand old man Of the peerage. who lives
not FAR from Sandringham and who has

marriages. There her majesty was for

lett. one OF Lord Leicesters children
who is the proud mother of very small
infant.
The Queen. instead of making herself
agreeable to all the anxious relatives
sent FOR the baby, and for two solid
hours she nursed the infant on her
knees. Her majesty, who is becoming in
crea singiy deaf, asked innumerable
questions about the baby, all of which
The answered herself
The baby pOked its chubby fingers all
over the Queens face and split a cup
Of tea over her majesty's dress. out
nothing could induce the Queen to give

It would be impossible 10 entertain

People claim that dinners are short

a good many men TO take an amount CT
liquor they would never before the

Before bridge came into fashion a
man sat for three-quarters or half an
hour after dinner. and then went home.

But bridge has changed all that. The
minute some men sit down to play
bridge they feel the necessity Of hav-

this craze for bridge. which is founded
on waste Of time and dissipation, can
have but one result, and that is mental
and moral degeneracy.
A lady recently gave a musicale on
Sunday afternoon, because she was
afraid to try to get her old friends, who
had gone half insane on bridge, together
on any other day. a lovely young
matron among the guests spied an ell
