"Let me oarry. it in for you, The same rain that ' carvied Miss Mildred Frayne up to bier aunt's bome at Long Point to spenjd a summer month also carried Mr, Winfield Ches- ter, They sat in diffezent coaches, powever, and there was mo coincidence about it. Had they sat jin the same chair-car he might have been r a magazine and she locking out the window, A quarter of a mile bellow Aunt Tay- was a widow and lived aljone, and now and rheumatism. Miss Mildred had kpown her for several years,.atd it wasn't two hours after her arrival that she started out to see the old lady. She found her in bed and sadly needing' pursing. > "What you need," sagely opi the girl when she had heard the ta- tions," is chicken se It's better than all the doctors. I'know at least a dozen people who'd have died but for chicken soup. Chicken soup witha little rice in it will make a well wom- an of you in two days." "Maybe it might help me," the patient sighed. "It will. It must, It cured me when I had typhoid fever and the doctors had given me up. I can get the rice up at the house, but as for the chick- an--let me see 7 We have none, but one must he found somewhere. I'll go back and telephone to some of the farmers around here. Somes of them will surely spare me 5 chicken." "But it will be too much trouble." "Trouble? Don't you think T'l} willingly go to some trouble to save your dear old Jile? Just lie quietly "till 1 come back. You can groan all you want to, however. Our . {amily doctor says that groaning is a great help .in curing apy one." Back to Aunt Taylor's the girl got down the telephone book and called up one farmer after another and inguired about the chicken market. It was not encouraging. Soww had chickens and some hadn't, but those who had an- swered that nome was for sale. The very last address proved hopeful. The call was answered by a pleasant voice saying © | "Why, yes, we have chickens here." "And will you sell one 7' "I--~I.don't think we have ever sold chickens." "But this in nu special case. A chick- "1 is wanted for an old lady who is ill." . "Then that alters the case, and I cnn promise you a fat pullet." "How much is it ?" "No charge." "But I'm willing to pay and want to. Il you can send it down to old Mrs. Ryder's I'll give you fifty cents for it. Have the man bring change for a dollar." "As I stated before, we have chickens for sale; but---" "And send him soon, please, Good. e no That message had gone to the house of Mr. Chester's mother, and he it was who had answered it. He be lieved the voice to be that of a girl. He hadn't hung up the receiver helore he believed her to be good-looking. His mother hadn't come into the room before he had made up his mind to be bearer of that chicken. "I know there is an old woman Ryder living about two miles down the road," said the mother, "but she can't have a telephone in her cot- tage. It might have come from the Taylor's. I'll have James kill a chicken and take it down there." "But I'm going to take it myself," said the young umes | "And why? "I want to sea the girl who owns that voice." 'Nonsense. as I am. I don't know of a within five miles of here." cv Nevertheless, the young man insist. ol on going, and after the unhappy pullet had had her neck wrung started off with the body dangling from his right hand. Before his two- mile walk had been accomplished dusk had fallen and the moon 'had come up. . Thus, as he approached the cottage ho saw a figure of a girl standing in the highway, and heard a voice calling : 2 : "If you are the man with the chick- on make haste, please. Yes, you have it, and Pm so glad and thankful. You soe, 1 want to get the soup made right away. Did you bring change for & dollar - "Well~er--no-0," was the reply. "Why, you are pot a farmer's hired man 1 exclaimed the girl as she looked at the chécken carrier for the first time, , "No, but Ihave brought the fowl, please.

"But who--who asked you to?" "Oh, 1 furnished the chicken, didn't 17" he answered, with a laugh "Good night." Forty minutes later, when old = Mrs. Ryder was taking her soap and telling how good it was, she noticed a serious look on Miss Mil- "Why a young man brought this then she had a bad | turn with< chick en.

Couple, Two Thousand Miles Apart, Finally Meet and Marry. duly 29.--A seven years' ter- Chi 0, y apigtal p over the telephone, part of t tipe over a wire 2,000 miles long, terminated in the marriage of John C. Coughlin, of Chicago, andMiss Annie Foy, of Lynn, Mass, in the eastern city. The couple, who are now speed ing towards Chicago, on their homey- moon, were introduced over the tele phone, and the wooing, proposal and potting the date for the wedding all took place over a wire 2,000 miles long. Seven years ago, Coughlin, who liv- ed in Chelsea, was introduced to Miss Foy over the telephone by one of her relatives. At that time she was em ployed as an operator in the Lynn ex change, and made her home with Mrs Z. A. King, at 8 Lookout terrace. "Annie, 1 would like to introduce a friend of mine to you over the wire," said the voice. A personal 'meeting followed the in- troduction, but on account of business Coughlin was able to see Miss Foy but seldom. Accordingly the telephone wires were kept busy. A year ago when Coughlin came to Chicago to embark oh a business ca- reer here, he discovered that the mails are entirely too slow as a medium of courtship, especially when Cupid is persistently at one's elbow, or rather heart, and so he called the long-dis tance wire into service and kept it hot. Finally one night a brief question tremblingly asked slipped over the wire to Lynn, and one little word that almost made Coughlin drop the re ceiver sped back to Chicago. Coughlin sent two calls over the wire the next evening. The first, was to James Foy, of Revere, Mass., father of the bride, and , the second was to "headquarters" at Lynn, and the date of the wedding hatl been set. There Weren't Enough Trees. General E. A. Carr, president of the Thirteenth Army Corps' Association, actording to the Chicago Evening Post once said of a socialist argument at a Memorial Day banquet in Washing- ton:--the depraved and vicious selfish ness of those in authority. They are like the Pea Ridge story. "It is falsely said, you know, thatin the battle of Pea Ridge, as soon as the heavy firing began, a recruit limp- ed back to the rear and then took to heels. "A comrade stopped him. " 'What's the matter, mate *' " "Why," said the recruit, 'l just couldn't stand it--out there in the open all by myself.' " 'But why didn't you get behind a tree ?' "" 'There ain't only enough for afficers," he replied." From Crown to Sole.

Where a few years ago the young men were considered to be too hot- headed and inexperienced to be en: trusted with the reins of government, they have: gradually forged to the 'ront until pow they are displacing the gray-beards in positions that call for the highest qualifications to which men ¢aD attain. A striking sxgmple of this is evi- dénced in the fact t the British Cabinet isthe youngest that has ever been in office, and it has appointed the youngest governor:general of Aus- tralia--Lord Soran: who will suc- ceed Lord Dudley when he retires this year. Tord Denman will be 37 years this sear, and alrendy he has seen and Jone a lob made ap his mind to be a soldier, and his opportunity came sooner than it does for most men, for not long after ve left the military college at Sand. aurst. the South African war broke out, and he served as tain of the Middlesex 'Squadron 'of the Imperial Yeomanry and saw m service, and Anally being invalided home after a wound * received during a skirmish. He was immensely Polar with his soldiers and. noted the attention he to their comfort. Besides being a keen soldier, Lord Denman is a man of strong political opinions, and as he has great ambi- tions he.is likely tobe heard more of later on. -He is a Liberal, and when thes party came into power received his, first appointment as lord-in-wait- ing to the late King. He has also act od as deputy speaker and whip in the House of Loads. His last appoint. ment was that of captain of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, the famous royal bodyguard which celebrated its 00th anniversary last year. New Peer's Pictures. When the Lord High Commissioner to the general assembly of the Church nd, Lord Glenconner, took up bis gesidence in inbuzgh zecently, he was, according to an custom, presented with tl hepa of the city, the ceremony being followed - by a levee and sn official dinner. Lord Glenconner, who, as Sir Ed- ward Tennant, was Liberal M.P. for Salisbury, inherited. from his father a wonderful collection of pictures, mostly of the early English school. For these he built a gallery adjoin- ing his house in Queen Anne's Gate, 80 that they might be accessible to the public on certain days of the week, .a concession that is much ap- preciated. The Lomd High Commis. sioner is the eldest brother of Mrs. Asquith. Lady Tennant is ome of three pretly sisters, daughters of Mr. Percy Wyndham. Collects Horseshoes.
