Death was caused by tumor of the

seriously consider the mediums per-
formance. When Madame LAGRANGE,
in an honest effort to clear the. atmos-
phere of suspicion directed at her in

her tricks. it is Miss Giiroy, still sus-
picious who insists upon subjecting
the old woman to being searched. BY
doing all of this she succeeds not only
in milady annoying the medium, but
in expressing her personality upon
the other members of the party as
that of a TOO sufficiently -enamored-

Says Miss Gilroy:

beginning to grow on me, am not
sure, but of this l am certain, the at

is changing. l feel that L am being
classed with the young woman who
insists upon regarding herself as the

that opinion with no one.

that the man proposes only when the

CALLING restraint placed on her by her
wealthy father, from whom she in

death. takes all the small fortune he
left her and squanders it in "one good

to an elopement and saved by her old

Burke wears many charming frocks,

ship begins when he discovers that he
has found favor in the eyes of the
girl, who has, probably, only family
attracted him. Soon he begins to take
notice and assumes a self-satisfied air
somewhat of proprietorship-bu
she is letting the courtship go only as
she desires it to go. She does the
things he likes, gives him food that
pleases him, shows herself at her best
and develops in his mind the idea
that she would make him a pretty fine
wife.
"As a matter of fact-novels to the
contrary Notwithstanding - there
are mighty few out and out proposals
of marriage. The youth and maid
drift along-guided by the unseen
rudder, however. until a time comes
when the matter of their marriage is
recognized as being only a question
of arrangement. They talk over the
date, she sets it and formal engage
ment is announced. She has done il
all, but you couldn't get one man in
