Coming Home I'm the Dark.
The tunnel was dark, the tunnel was

And the lights had all gone out.
The temptation was assuredly strong
OF that there could be no doubt.

OF thirty summers, or less:
When a notion struck me that l would

That vision Of loveliness!
Though the risk was great, I thought it
worth while,
For 1 was full of romance,
And to steal a kiss in a furtive style
The pleasure could but enhance!
So when we had come to the darkest
part
I gave her a silent smack,
When-I didn't expect it-bless my
heart
IF she didn't kiss me back!
We gazed at each other in shy surprise,
When from the tunnel we sped,
The other passengers must have got wise,
For our cheeks were burning red.
At the same depot we left the train,
When I lost my charmer fair,
7 thought I should never see her again,
For which I didn't much care,
But. when 1 got home, there was the
maid,
And she gave me such look,
"Who is that, mother?" l asked. She
said,
"Why, Bobby, that's our new cook ]"

BATTLES WlTHNIAGARA
Wife Jumps Into Stream Above Cataract
and Husband Tries in Vain to
Save Her Life

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, June T.
After battling death for an hour in the
icy water just above Niagara Falls,
Aaron Cohen of Buffalo, lost his fight
for the life of his wife, who committed
suicide Sunday afternoon.
While the two were strolling with their
children on the reservation, Mrs. Cohen
suddenly became hysterical and leaped
into the river between Second and Third
Sisters island. This is only $50 feet
above the brink of the cataract. With
out a moments hesitation, he leaped aft
er her, caught her land and struggled
desperately to save her as the current
swept them against the trunk of a tree. !
Mrs. Cohen probably died in her hus-
bands arms. Before it was possible to
bring efficient help an hour had passed,
during all of which Cohen was making
frantic attempts to reach the shore.
With his wife tightly clasped to him
he felt himself bump into a tree stump,
and on this he got a grip with his one
free hand. He Justify shouted for help
and word was carried to the reservation
police.
Cohen was unable to keep his wife's
face above water. When he was within
fifteen feet of the shore the terrific cur
rent tore his wife from his grasp and
the body floated away.

BUlLDED FOR OTHERS
MRS. GRAVES DIED WITHOUT SEE
ING HER PALACE.
Millions Won in Legal Fight and Law
ishly Expended Brought Flu
sive Joy.

NEW YORK, June THE death of
Mrs. Robert Graves without having seen
the palatial home which had been the OBJ
jeet of her ambition for years, and which
is now completed. suggests comment on
the uncertainty of human life.
When Mrs. Henry B. Plant, wife of
the south's greatest railroad builder, in
herited her fathers wonderful treasures
and art. she made it her life ambition to
enlarge the collection and house it in a
fitting home
Her husband died, and after she had
broken his strange will, which left his
vast estate to the unborn child of an
infant grandson, and had won her dover
right to $S,O0O,000, she was free to ga
Their the priceless pictures of the world
ana search in every land for the rare and
the beautiful.
Then she met Robert Graves, fnan-
cler, and inventor. He was attracted
by her. He sympathized with her am
Dltlon. They were quietly married IN
1904. and soon her Castle in Spain"
babe fair to become a real castle.
1t was love match purely. The bril-
lant young widow of the railroad Croe-
sus had not lacked brilliant suitors. But
when Graves appeared, all others van
Ished, and together they planned the
New York home at Z West Fifty-frst
street, which was to be their treasure
palace.
The work progressed magically. In
the great halls and galleries hung pic
lures that had graced the courts of the
Medici, tapestries that had been the pride
of Oriental kings. But with the reality
developing before her eyes, her dream
expanded. There were countless changes
to be made, innumerable treasures yet to
be secured.
And then, in the midst of the great
task, when at last the finished whole was
clearly planned but only half completed,
Mrs. Graves fell i'll.
The malady did not seem serious at
first, but she gradually grew weaker,
slowly forced herself to forsake her am
bltlon for while-at last to seek COM
plete rest. She retired to st. Luke's
hospital, and later to Edgemere. Her
did not gain strength. She was unhappy
away from her fairyland, on which the
work was still progressing.
Finally, few weeks ago, they took
her home. But she was unable to view
the splendor that awaited her. When it
was all finished they told her, she should
go through & II the rooms and behold her
completed work.
Saturday was the awaited day. The
last touch of the artists hand had left
the mansion an embodiment of the high
est modern architecture and the rarest
ancient art But a sudden sinking spell
made it unadvisable for Mrs. Graves to
leave her bed. She was told that all was
ready, that the palace only awaited its
princess. And then she died.
Mrs. Graves had been generous in
charity. She was especially the friend
of the New York city fremen and had
endowed institutions to care for them
when injured. The department was
largely represented at her funeral.
