HIS Secret Love
Romance of the Painting of the
Lady of Epping Manor
House.
BY FRANK TILsoN.

"Yes, Mr.. Quincy, this is the old
Elpping Manor House." said the agent.
ut has been in the hands of the Ep-
ping family for close on three hun
bred years. For rent, fully furnished,

He named an absurdly low sum-at
least, SO the young American painter
thought.
You see," the man continued con-
fidentially, Its too quiet a place for
Mrs. Epplng and Miss Sylvia. While
old Mr.. Epping was alive it was a
home to them. But since he's been
dead they've wanted to yet away from
the sights that perpetually reminded
them Of him. One can't blame them
for that So they've moved into the
new mansion over at Chilworth, three
miles distant But for a gentleman
who wants quiet--why, this is just the
place"
Quincy agreed cordially with this
sentiment. He was spending the year
in England and meant to have at least
six weeks alone to finish his great
panel painting Of the destruction of
Alexandria, the order for which from
the public library in his home city
had held out to him the hope of rec
ognition and success after his many
years of loneliness and poverty.
Mrs. Epping's bit of an invalid

Quincy had moved in. "She says shed

quaintance il you would care to cal

"He scowled at me something aw
full" the agent told Mrs. Epping af
terward. "He seems cut out to be 6
hermit, that young man does"
well, I'm sure we shan't intrude
upon his loneliness" declared Miss
Sylvia, with pardonable hauteur.
Quincy wanted nothing better. The
loneliness Of the place appealed tC
him. Except for old Mrs. Smith, who
came in daily to cook for him and t.
tidy such parts of the manor as she
could contrive to clean while Quincy
was busy with his work-and therefore

House as the total receipts of the day,
the Allardt's paying all expenses of
the house and show.
OF the 500 youngsters at the matinee
there were some that had never before
seen the inside of a theater and it is
said few who had never even visited
a nickle show owing to paternal OBJ
jections.
Although a great many could not
catch the drift of the drama they
thoroughly enjoyed it. The lights the
music and the mere fact that they were
in a theater was enough. Manager
RommeH provided as an adde& attrac-
tion program of moving pictures
which interested the kinds as nothing
else could
The Elks purchased $50 tickets for
the matinee and distributed them
through the public schools. The ALL

The Knights of Pythias and the
knights of Columbus both bought 200
tickets for the evening and distribirfed
them. The woman's club purchased
fifty which they gave away. Many in
dividuals bought quantities of tickets.
The Settlement House is exceedingly
grateful to the Allardt Brothers for
the kind generosity which is almost
without precedent in Hammond. The

OCCUPANTS OF
BUGGY HIT
Reckless Auto Driver Runs
Down Lowell Couple.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Lowell. Ind. Dec. 26.-while Henry
Hoshaw and wife were driving home in
buggy about o'clock Wednesday
night, an automobile struck their bug
gy. but did no great damage. The rear
axle of the buggy was considerably
twisted and parts of the running gear
were broken. The auto was going to-
ward town at a high rate of speed and
Mr.. Hoshaw turned out on to the dirt
road, but the auto hugged the north
side of the stone road, which caused
the collision The driver did not stop
to ascertain what damage he had done
and disappeared in the darkness in
stantly. The collision frightened the
occupants of the buggy for a while
and the wonder is that they were not
thrown out and badly hurt. The
horse, being a good old family horse
while she showed signs of fright, did
not attempt to run away. 1t Is not
known who the parties were in the au-
tomobile. 1t would seem that drivers
of automobiles ought to have enough
decency about them to give part of the
road to people driving horses.
