| again. And the same old line Of
suitors bobbed up in front of her.
Only this time they were princes of
finance rather than princes of the
blood, millionaires rather than dukes
and lords. But the same lack of
unity between the many grades of
people was just as apparent, and
Lucy soon made up her mind that
she could never settle down and be
happy with any one of these aris-
tocrats OF wealth.
But Mrs. Guest and her aunts and
cousins were at her back all the time
urging her to marry and to marry
as much wealth as she could. They
refused to let her alone, and, 10! one
morning Lucy disappeared. Away
from would-be husbands with their
millions she ran, and refused to re-
turn until her mother promised that
she should marry whom and when
she chose.
1t was some months after this
that Lucy disappeared again, this
time in London. Reports of her dis
appearance were published broad
cast throughout Europe and America.
When she was finally found she was
living in the theatrical district where
she had taken quarters. She an
nounced that she had determined to
| take up a career on the stage, say
ing that she had decided to be of
use in the world. She also said that
she did not mind being a society lady
for a few months in a year. but for
the balance of the time she wished
| to do something useful.
Banker Rosen is satisfied that he
can make the heiress happy. But her
friends would not be surprised IL she
| should decide at the last minute to
put the wedding off indefinitely.

The English papers OF two weeks
ago reported that Tintern abbey was
being guarded against possible at
tacks by the suffragets. Perhaps there
was a council of war and 1t was de-
cided that Burns was greater enemy
of the suffrage cause than Words

tells one that Lucy was not a suffra-

A BOUT a hundred years or so
~ ago, in a central Western state
- there lived a man named Robert
Hanna.
So brave was he, and so wise with
all, that he was made general and
he served his country faithfully.
One of the relics of his bravery
which his family cherish Loyalty is
a British sword. Perhaps you Won
der how General Hanna, alone, cap
tured a British sword-listen-thi
is the story:
One day, when everything was
very quiet and there was no sign of
British about, General Hanna (who
was not yet a general then by the
way) found he must visit his home
and attend to some business matters.
He secured leave of absence and
started on the long walk home. Just
as he had passed we'll out from the
woods and rounded the bend of the
road into the open country, he heard
behind him the sound of horses. By
the thud, thud on the ground he
could tell there were many, but
whether they were friends or British
there was no way of knowing. 1t
was necessary to hide till he made
sure. Looking hastily about he spied
a log little way from the ROAD ana
half hidden by high weeds. He ran
to it and hid himself--not one sec
ond too soon; for. peeping out, he
could plainly see by the scarlet coats
that the soldiers were British men.
About hundred marched by with
never a glance towards the log he
hind which Hanna lay hid. At last
all were passed and everything grew
still. "A1l the same" thought Hanna
10 himself, "I'll lay right here a
while till I'm sure there are no
stragglers following the army"
Indeed it was we'll he did, for
very soon a single British soldier
came trotting along. just at that
very minute a beautiful deer dashed
across the road. The soldier fired
once - twice - three times - but
missed, and the deer dashed madly

Silver should never be allowed to

time to wash the silver in warm water,

former president of the New York,

as to the manner by which the East
ern Steamship Corporation obtained
possession of a number of steamers
which had belonged to the Metropoli-

former corporation being a subsidiary
of the New Haven road. Mr.. Mellen
said he had absolutely no knowledge
of the transaction and he had had
no knowledge whatever of the affairs
of the two Metropolitan Steamship
Cos. Administration officers of the
New Haven Co. produced records bear
ing upon the sale by the Maine Steam
ship Co. of it's property to the East

various transfers or sale of securities
of both companies which, through the

Conference Protocol

On these questions the mediators
were in communication today with the
American and Mexican delegates. All
parties said satisfactory progress had
been made and that a protocol con-
corning the conferences here probably
would be signed within a week.
The main point under discussion at
present is just how the transition from
the present administration to a new
provisional government can be effect
ed. lnasmueh as the United States
has never recognized the constitution
altSt right of General Huerta to hold
the office of provisional president, the
aim of the American delegates is I'M
derstood to be that the new provision
al executive shall not appear to have
been chosen by Huerta. 1t is neces-
sary if the Mexican Constitution is
followed literally, that the office of
minister of foreign affairs which is
now vacant, should be filled by the in
dividual to whom the mediation con-
ference expects Gen. Huerta to turn
over the reins of government The
Mexican constitution provides that in
case of vacancy in the office of Pres
ident the minister of foreign affairs
shall succeed to the position. The
United States, it is known on reliable
authority, will not allow technicalities
to stand in the way of a quick set
