A Parlor Her Throne Room.

She came north, and though her per-
sonal fortune had been dissipated
through her loyalty to her husband
and his many schemes she was amply
provided for by her relatives. Society
no longer charmed her. To ease her
aching heart and find comfort in sleep
she took to Choral and then began
her new life-the life in which she
was, to her own diseased mind at
least, a veritable queen.
The comfortable front room or par
lor of her small apartment at No. 147
East Fifty-fourth street became her
throne-room. Here she graciously re-
ceived and mingled with her relatives,
who never ceased to humor her in her
desires and whims. Here. on rare oc-
casions and with due form, she re-
ceived such neighbors as she felt were
worthy of admission. And here she
lived with a single lady-in-waiting,
who never failed to bring out the royal
robes when they were demanded, who
served meals to her sovereign with all
the glittering formality the apart
ment's simple fittings would permit;
and from the humble door of the gray
stone apartment-house Baroness Anne
passed out, when so inclined, to drive
or walk her triumphant way through
the neighborhood.
Always stately and gentle, gracious
and especially kindly to children. she
never became an object of pity or
scorn in the humble neighborhood.
She never mumbled to herself, as
those who live in world of their own
ofttimes do. She carried herself like
a princess and never became gro
tesque.

created him baron. This was in
1889. In 1898 he realized his ambi-
ton. Financed largely by his wife
and her relatives, though there were
rumors of a 100000 loan, he landed
his colonists on the forlorn little
island of Trinidad, and there he set
up his court. His overseers were
white, but the land was cultivated by
poems. His palace was mere hut,
but it stood apart from the rest, and
his court was held as punctiliously as
that of st. James. To be sure, there
was a great shortage in court ladies,
but the beauty and enthusiasm OF his
devoted wife, who entered into all his
plans, made his peculiar kingdom a
paradise.
But one fatal mistake had been
made. The foreign powers had been
formally notified that the Island of
Trinidad had been colonized as an in
dependent state or principally under
Prince Jacques l., and two years later,
in 1895, Great Britain decided that she
needed just that island for future

On East Fifty-fourth street, be-

who walked among them unseeingly,

act of kindness or charity. There, in
a commonplace apartment house. she

family she received as her equals; all
others were given regal audience.
And yet an audience was eagerly
sought by her neighbors, for despite
certain eccentricities which come with
failing mentality, Baroness Harden
Hickey was a woman of marvellous
charm. Her neighbors never laughed
at her. Thoughtless children never
pointed the finger of youthful scorn at
her wavering figure. Tradespeople
and policemen on the beat rose as one
man to protect her coming and her
going-but few, indeed. knew the true
history of their almost queen.

Mrs. William Guion, daughter Of
Charles Beale, the well known dray-

Sound Electric railway for $4,000
damages for the death of her husband
in an accident on that road last
spring.
Guion was formerly an o. R. & N.
fireman out of Pendleton and was
well known here where he married
his wife a few years ago. The Seat
tie News says Of the case:
A complaint asking $4,000 dam
ages was filed this morning the
superior court in the case of Lydia
B. Guion and Lydia B. Guion as guar

against the Puget Sound Electric

The suit is the result of the collision
on the Interurban last December be-
tween a passenger and freight train
in which William D. Guion, motor
man of the passenger train was
killed.
It is alleged In the complaint that
train 8, with william Guion as mo-
torman, was running south with or
ders to meet No. at Edgewood, that
No. 6 was met and passed at Edge
wood, according to orders, and that
No. then started on the run to Ia
