rollins Mcliim. the charming member
of the Four Hundreds inner cotcric.
who has sometimes been mentioned In
socicty's chatter as likely 10 become the
future Mrs. Alfred G.. Vanderbilt. sailed
very quietly--in fact, under an assumed
namc-for Europe last Thursday.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is now In London.
Mrs Mckim is bound for Paris If re.
ports are true, her trip is limited TO
Paris. It is said that there was a fam
ily council just before she left, and
that she agreed with her father. Dr.
isaac Emerson. and her other relatives,
that, In Wow OF the recent reports,
It would be best for her 10 stay In
the French capital while abroad. She
was accompanied by her sister, Mrs.
+. y. Mccormack Mrs Mccormack
aiso sailed under an assumed name to
avoid the annoyance of public notice
They sailed on La Provence 1t was
learned this evening that Just previous
TO the departure of Mrs McIlim-the
aaN neiore-she received Il cablcgram
from Alfred G. Vanderbilt
Nothing more was learned. If ro
nance was embodied IN that telegram.
Mrs. McKim did not say So Still. ehs
sailed on the following day. Society
which discusses these matters inter
estedly. made no definite deductions
from these facts
But the recent arrival In London OF
MIS-. George Law. who was met By Mr.
Vanderbilt and who also has been men.
toned n S possibly the future briSe of
the young multimillionaire, gives So
ciety theme for conversation In CON
nection With Mrs. McktIn's departure
The arrival In London OF Mrs Law
was almost dramatic. Mr. Vanderbilt
was at tho station. Their greetings
were enthusiastic Nobody had any
right to presume anything. and yet
after that meeting. there was ten
dency OH the part of New York society
to doubt whether Mrs NIoISim was
really the person upon whom Alfred
Vanderbilt was building his hopes OF
future happiness.
What transpired at the Emerson
family council last Wednesday, is
km. acquiescing in the wishes of
others, agreed to go no further than
Paris on her present Journey.
So careful We're the arrangements 10
keep the trip secret that 1t was given
out that Mrs. McKim was going to
Arcadia. her fathers summer home
in North Carolina.
This secrecy In Itself aroused Inter-
est, Society. without any justification
in knowledge. began to mention the
fact that Paris Is the place where
wealthy women usually go when they
are bent on tho purchase OF trous-
seaus. There We're even suggestions
that the beautiful Mrs. NTcKim might
return TO this country under another
name-a name long distinguished on
both sides OF the water.
The meeting of Mr.. Vanderbilt and
Mrs. Law at the London railroad sta
ton was not followed by anything to
confirm rumors OF a possible romance
in that quarter. and the going of Mrs.
NIcIim to Paris revivcs the long
standing reports OF her probable en-
gagcmcnt 10 the young mlliona ire.

THE SCHOOLMA'AM GIRL
BY MICHAEL J. PORTER

Gideon Rush noticed the girl before
they reached Chicago, though he was
q shy. hard.working young man who
had really noticed few women In his
day.
But even Gideon could be pardoned
for looking again at the "schoolma'am
GIRL" as he quantity nicknamed her.
None but a school teacher would
have that air and that pencil. And
she was SO young and so good to
look at that Gideon was reminded OF
little girls who played at various
games. like keeping house. and going
visiting. and teaching school. She
was a school teacher; and yet the
title wasn't distinctive enough. II
did not classify her. She was all girl,
too-young and sweet and happy. So
''school.ma'am girl" 1t was.
Gideon. who was going out to Ore
gon to grow apples. saw that the
school.ma'am girl had a ticket much
like his own-a green one as long as
his arm.
Was she going west, too, maybe to

BILE. He would lose her at Chicago,
where she would change to one of the
other hundred trains that shuttled
away in every direction.
1t was dark when they rumbled
into the bedlam called Chicago. She
seemed so little and alone and grave
son Of her bright cheerfulness
had departed-that Gideon said a re.
gretful farewell with his eyes. And
she answered the same way.
Gideon hurried into the sticky mid
summer night, because everyone else
was hurrying; found a modest res.
taurant in the glare and clatter; hur.
ried through n meal and trotted back
to the great station as the uniformed
a at the gate was bawling his
train.
He found his tourist sleeper. Half.
way down the aisle he paused. de

Dying by Organs.

1t has been discovered that II q
human being dies after an ordinary
illness. and not a violent death, he
does not die all over and all at once.
He may have a diseased liver. heart
or lung, and this may be the cause
Of his death; but 1t has been found
been replaced by a healthy one life
might have been maintained indefi-
nitely. This is no imagination or
speculation. 1t has been confirmed
by the most careful experiments by
the ablest medical scientists in the
country.-Leslie's Weekly.

heart humping; for there, comfort

schoolma'am girl.
Next morning. Gideon and the
schoolma'am girl had spoken to each
other almost before they knew It. BY
noon they had decided to make CON-
mon cause against the frlghtful
charges Of the dining-car with their
united lunch-boxes. BY evening, Gid,
con had told her the story Of his life.
and confided that he had $4,000 with
which to buy an apple orchard.
The schoolma'am girl was equally
frank. She told him that her real
name vas Serena Blythe. but that all
her friends called her Bun" She
had come into a heritage OF school
teaching In a New England town at
sixteen. She had expected to stay
there always But her fathers health
had made a change imperative, and he
and her mother had gone west the
previous year. Now they had made
a home In northern California and
had written her to come.

1t is much better to use a medium

It is a mistake to pasture young

The best way to obtain good cows

you are the possessor of good young
