A WIDOW AND A WHOEVER.

L

| They looked upon Aaron Turner al
| the family hotel in Paris where he
was stopping as something of a cur4
| osity. He did not look ut all like th=
man who travels. On the contrary
they set him down as Il tiller of the
| soil and wondered how he had ever
found his way across the Atlantic. Ha
| was slow moving and slow spoken
with what seemed religious turn OF
| mind
They had looked to see Mr.. Turner
register as Judge" or general and
they had expected him to boast of his
herds of cattle in Montana or his oil
wells in Texas, but he had disappoint-
ed them. His name went down as
plain Aaron Turner. After q week or
so it came to be understood that he
was a widower, having lost his dearly
beloved about year before.
When plain Mrs. John Gates arrived
at the same hotel a few days later than
plain Aaron Turner, she also proved TO
be something of an enigma. She had
no diamonds and no style. She was
dressed in mourning and was often
found with tears in her eyes.
In due time. which in this case meant
two days after her arrival. the widow
Gates was sought out by plain Mr..
Turner His first excuse for present
ing himself before her was that both
were Americans. His second was that
both had lost their beloved partners
Of
sympathy between them.
The fearful widow Gates was also
communicative. She had made the trip
with her husband in the hope that it
would improve his left lung. 1t had
been hard scraping to get the money
together, and the last SO had been
raised ON the family sewing machine
Just as the lung seemed to be growing
better her dear departed had been
taken off with typhoid fever and bur
led among n race of people who drank
absinth instead of buttermilk and who
shrugged their shoulders instead of
swearing right out. She reSorted to
tears as she finished her plant. Mr..
Turner spoke consoling words. He re-
minded her that in the midst of life we
were in death and that human nature
was so constituted that it could not go
ON grieving forever. AS Il matter Of
fact, the widow felt quite chirked up
when he took his departure, and dur
ing the next two weeks they We're Of
ten seen together. They became quite
confidential before the widower decid
ed to trust the widow with a secret.
He wanted to do something for the
minister and the Sunday school class
at home. Deacon Pegram would be ex-
pecting some sort of q present, and
there was his sister, who kept house
for him. Taken altogether, he would
be expected to make q score of pres
ents. While none of them would be of
great value, each one would be cher
ished for the sake of the giver. As the
two We're going home on the same
steamer and as he had only small
trunk with him, would the widow kind
ly take charge of the packages as he
brought them to her?
The widow would and did. While
she was financially hard up, she was
also buying a few presents, and all
could go into her trunk together. The
two did not go out together or shop to-
gether. For some reason they didn't
propose such a thing. although t.

Bath as being the cheapest place in

Captain Odon is one of the best
known and most successful of the Sal

He made a notable success of his
work at Baton Rouge, whence he was
removed in January of last year 10
Jackson, and the work he did at
Jackson is attested by the farewell
notice accorded him by the Evening
News of that city:
1T will be with feelings of the most
sincere regret that citizens of Jack
son will learn of the transfer of Capt.
OdOn and his estimable wife. for the
work they have accomplished in this
city has been of the greatest value.
and they are held in the highest re-
spect and esteem by all citizens, and
especially the religious and benevolent
bodies, to whom they haze been OF
most valuable assistance.
During the past two years the
greater portion of the charitable work
performed in Jackson has been
through the medium of the Salvation
Army. and several organizations en-
gagged in charitable work, notably the
Kings Daughters. have such conf
dence in Capt and Mrs OdOn that
they dispensed their charity and
philanthropy through that Organiza-
ton.
Capt. Odon speaks in kindly terms
of his successor as one of the most
earnest and conSeCrated workers in
the Salvation Army, and warmly COM
mends him to the people Of Jackson,
with the earnest wish that the work
will continue in usefulness"

here, but on extended furlough,' de
