lief. Cant Prince Ormond be the cler-
gyman?'' she asked. "Of course, he's
very handsome and young, but then
some clergymen are so.''
Prince Ormond was Maud Marian's
best gentleman doll, and he was very
new, gallant and handsome. He had a
velvet suit and curling blond wig. not
to mention lovely liquid brown eyes.
Maud Marian looked at Theresa oddly
when she suggested Prince Ormond.
NO" she declared positively, we'll
need him for the other part
Maud Marian considered. OF the gen
tlemen dolls there were only left Prince
Ormond, Lii Hung Chang, who was to
be the waiter and Jack, the sailor boy
who, of course, is to be the BRIDE
groom said Theresa, "and / suppose
you'll want the Prince for his best
man."
Maud Marian said nothing except
that she didn't think Lii would do for a
Clergyman. although she added, '.if
we cut off his queue and dressed him
up in some of Lord Harcourt's clothes
he might not look SO bad
But then we need him for the but
ler," said Theresa.
Yes agreed Maud Marian. Then
she clapped her hands. oh" she cried
I'VE had forgotten the Young Brave OF
the Wabash
brought out and considered as a clergy
man.
But he's so dark commented The
resa.
That doesn't matter" declared Maud
Marian. I'VE can pretend he's q re-
turned missionary and has been in
Afric's sunny chimes, where they get all
burned up. Well dress him up in Lord
Harcourt's clothes and cut his hair off.
1t can be sewed on again tomorrow
The brave made no protests during
his summary costuming in the gar
ments of civilization. Perhaps he
thought it was merely a disguise in
which he was to swoop down upon the
palefaces and annihilate them.
And now" said Theresa, we've got
to spruce Jack up little and were all
ready. Prince Ormond looks perfectly
lovely as he is and only needs bou-
tonniere to be a perfect best man.
But said Maud Marian, Jack can't

IAN II j. time MARY Deiit
X was married
Yes agreed Theresa
Maud Marian's cousin, that would be
lovely: do let's have a wedding"
Mary Belle. Maud Marian's Paris doll
had gone through so many hard expert
ences since coming TO America and en-
tering Maud Marian's family of dolls
that Theresa, who was very sympa-
thetic. WAS glad something as mild
and pleasant as being married was to
fall to her lot
Usually Maud Marian's plans for her
doll family were far more dan gerous
Mary Belle, who had been the heroine
of many stirring exploits arranged by
her Inventive mamma, bore the marks
of several Of these adventures upon
her person.
There was, for instance. the time
when Mary Belle had been forced to
take exercise by padding a canoe in
The bath tub. The canoe had cap
sized OF course, and Mary Belle had
heen immersed. Her complexion, once
so sweetly pink and white, and her
lovely hair once so trim and glossy,
had never been quite the same since.
Their pristine glory had departed
Then there was Mary Bellies en-
forced visit to the dentists, which her
ambitious mamma had decreed imme-
diately after returning from similar
adventure on her own account. The
experience had cost Mary Belle two
pearly front teeth, which made an I'M
slightly gap in her pretty mouth. Some
times she had artificial teeth made of
orange peel. sometimes she had them
made of tinfoil. and sometimes, alas,
they dropped out, and Maud Marian
being too busy about her projects to
attend TO the gap, it confronted a pity
ing world in unbridged ugliness.
Other adventures manifold there had
been-horseback rides on Don, the bull
terrier, ending in disastrous accident
TO Mary Bellies left arm. and similar
athletic experiences which had left the
once bewitching Partisan beauty some
thing of a wreck. Maud Marian, look
ing her over. plainly stated this fact
Really" she remarked to Theresa,
Mary Belle looks almost too battered
for a bride. Perhaps I'd better choose
one of my newer dolls for the bride
and Put Mary Belle on the shelf"
,Oh. no" pleaded the soft hearted
Theresa. please let Mary Belle be the
bride. She's been through so much she
deserves it and we Gan fix her all up
so she'll look nice again
How can we fix herr? demanded
Maud Marian. who was very practical
Theresa pondered. Then she sug-
gested her refuge in all troubles. Uncle

Mary Belle. Uncle Charlie always
knew how 10 help.
1t was Uncle Charles busy day and
lie didn't want to let 'em in, but when
he heard Theresa's pleading voice out
side the studio door he said they could
come in for just FIVE minutes-not a
second more.
Theresa laid the case before him anX
iously. Mary Belle was TO be a bride
nj she was so battered, but she was
so good and she had gone through so
much-couldn't Uncle Charlie help to
make her look nice?
Uncle Charlie took Mary Belle in his
hand. "Whew, She does need reju-
venating," he gasped, but it's my busy
day youngsters" Uncle Charlie glanced
toward the model stand. where there
was a young lady posing wearing a

on the Philadelphia, Baltimore and WASH

away attending a funeral. and she. in
company with Mary Humphreys, started
up to the depot to meet them upon their
arrival.
When the girls approached the railroad
they found the safety gates down and q
southbound freight train passing. As soon
as the freight passed, and without wait
ing for the gates to be raised by the gate
keeper, Ellen Lilly walked under the
gates. A short distance down the track
there was a swiftly approaching north
bound extra freight. When some of the
men nearby called to her to get out OF
the way. it evidently startled her, she
stood still. instead of jumping off the
track. A second later she was struck
by the locomotive and her body was
hurled some distance up the track. When
she was picked up life was extinct.

plant tusks. deer antlers and the skins
of tigers and lions, which, however, she
would not say had fallen before her gun.
They proceeded TO the museum, where.
Mr.. Roosevelt said, he would have liked
to spend hours. In accordance with Mr..
Roosevelts desire. the party then made
the trip to Posilopo. and the ex-President
was recognized and cheered all along the
way.
Mr. Roosevelt desires 1t to be known,
especially in the United States and Eng
land, that he received in Naples several
thousand letters and kilograms, but, not
having a secretary at his disposal. that
it was a physical impossiblity for him
to reply to these. He wishes to thank
