who Is in love. The above trite aphor-
ism forms the keynote to the new comedy
drama, The Stranger in which Mr..
Wilton Lackaye and company will ap-
pear at the Columbia Theater next week.
The story has to do with James Mar

run away from the. poorhouse. been be-
friended for a time by Gen. Warrington.
Of the Woodvale plantation, and had then
made his way, still lad. to the North.
There he had prospered in traction al
fairs and thence returned in season to
fall in love with pretty Georgia Warning

place at a public sale that he might pre-
sent it to his old-time benefactors
Through three acts the play takes IT'S

trigue. rivalry in love and in affairs, to
the inevitable happy ending.

SEVEN NOBLE WOMEN

ship had been wrecked. Tho boatmen
| of that village refused to push of, and
| Darling. accustomed to scenes Of danger
as he was. shrank from the peril of put
| ting off to the wreck in a boat. Not 80
| his gentle but heroic daughter.
Grace, through the aid of the glass. was
able to discern the sufferers clinging to
| the wreck, and, agoniZed at the sight, she
entreated her father to let her go with
| him to endeavor 20 rescue them. At last
he yielded. The mother helped to launch
| the boat IN the water, and father and
daughter each took an oar.
1t does not need 4 vivid imagination to
! picture the scene OF the frail boat toiling
over the pillows, ,he slight girl bending
| over her oar. with passionate pity and
| compassion for the poor sufferers which
nerved her weak arm with superhuman
strength.
The difficult task was accomplished. and
great was the amazement of the surviv-
ors when the boat approached the rock
and they saw one of their deliverers was
girl. Tears streamed down the faces
of the weather-beaten sailors as they
| watched her straining efforts. God bless
her." they cried. she Is one of Gods
angels and not a mere womah." One by
one they were safely placed in the coble.
but the return was even more perilous
than the outward Journey.
Grace Darling's heroic deed was soon
noised abroad, and the Longstone light
house became the center of attraction to
thousands. Grace was Showered with
gifts on all sides; medals from the Royal
Humane Society, the Royal National In
stitute for the Preservation of Life from
Shipwreck. and the Glasgow Humane So
ciety. The Duke of Northumberland be-
came guardian of Grace's money and in
vested il for her. Her portrait was taken
and was sold with astonishing rapidity.
The Duchess of Northumberland sent for
her to Alnwick Castle. and she was 9TH
erwise entertained by royalty.
Grace did not long survive her heroic
episode. for she was only twenty-six
when consumption carried her of. Two
worthy memorials have been erected to
Grace Darling. one in Marlborough
churchyard and the other in St. Cuth-
bert's Chapel. on the Farne Island. The
former contains recumbent figure OF
the girl and the other bears an appropri-
ate inscription.

"One touch Of nature makes the whole
world kin" is well exemplified in the her
oine Of the Farne Islands. Grace Darling.
From a little. lowly lighthouse keeper S
daughter. unhonored and unsung. by her
one great deed Of heroism for the cause
of humanity, Grace Darling's name is
known all over the world to-day, and her
praises will no doubt be continued to be
sung by poet and word-painter.
The little lighthouse girl has fasci-
nation even in her name. The insignifi-
cant islands she has made famous by her
own act lie just of and At no great dis
tance from the Northumberland coast Of
England. 1t Is q bleak, barren place. but
it was home to Grace. Lonely as is the
life of the lighthouse keeper and his fam
lily. the Darlings seems to have been a
very happy one.
Grace was always Of a retiring dispo-
sition, and she remained at home with
her parents and assisted in the work
necessary about such a place. She had
reached her twenty-second year when the
incident occurred which made her IA
nous. On the night of September 5. 1885,
there was a terrible storm of the islands
of Farne. The Forfareshire. steamer
of $40 tons burden, carried human
freight amounting to sixty-three persons.
There was a terrific wind. the rain came
down in torrents, and fog was so dense
that Capt. Humble and his crew were
compelled to leave the vessel to the
mercy of the elements. During the night
the ship struck with her bows foremost
on the rocks and broke in two pieces. All
went down in the angry waves with the
exception of four passengers and five Of
the crew.
Dwellers in lighthouses are used to
storms. but on the night Of the 5th such
tremendous wind arose and such del
uSe of rain fell that they felt unusual
anxiety. Toward morning Grace awoke
with piercing cry for help in her ears
She aroused her father, and through the
aid of their glass they were able to dis
tinguish figures clinging to the wreck
age. At daybreak William Darling de-
scried them about a mile distant, and II
soon became known at Marlborough that
