JUST OPENED Butter Sootch wd Tay to the chilling stroke of death, and she lost her reason for a time. She hovered between life and death for weeks, and at last she got well. She pever forgot her dead lover. In fact, che lived under the impression that he was on a journey and would soon re- turn. She lost the power of estimat- ing time, and one day and its accom- ving night made the limit of her In time her relatives died or moved away. She remained behind to await her lover's return. His will had left to her énough money to keep in the comfort common to the town. She rented two rooms over a store and kept on her pathetic vigil for the re- turn of her lover, and had a door cut connecting them. She also built a ind in the separating wall. Here she lives to-day. One room, she occu- pies herself, the other she has all pre- pared for him who will never return. All the love trinkets he gave to her forty years ago are arranged on the dresser in his room. The bed is made. She airs it every day. Hie slippers are Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, the little European 'country whose | trdubles with Turkey have not ot been satisfactorily settled.

Foner -- - a -- \ world beyond, Miss Spaulding evinces a keen desire to remain on earth as long as she can. This may be due to the fact that she has conjured up a personality that has become stronger than a reality. The one she waits for in spirit dwells in = that little room apart. To leave him would be to her as sharp a pang as for a wife to die and leave her husband. So Miss Spaul- ding cares for her health. In the fall she wraps her throat and neck and chest about with woollen yarn lest she take cold. She was a delicate girl in the old days. When the sprin comes she takes off the yarn, a roun each day, lest its too n removal give her the thing she most dreads--a chill which might end in her death. And so she fives on till the time comes when her lover will return to his own. She is spoken of in whispers by the good women of the town, who reverence her for the God-like grip of her love. -------- Victims Of Catarrh Prejudiced. Tried snufis, they failed.

Neither time, place, nor circum stance is a great obstacle to Cupid. The truthfulness of this statement is proved by the following : A justice of the peace in Houston, Texas, was approached the other night by a young man, who asked him if he had a few minutes to spare. On the justice replying that he had, the young man remarked that he had about made up his mind to get mar- ried. The justice said that he was will- ing if the proper credentials and the young woman could be produced. The young man said he would endeavor to find the girl if the justice would get the license, and this agreement was reached: By telephone the justice made ar- rangements for the license. The young man said the girl was at a dance, he thought. He would make a try and judice acts.
