It whs rather a romantic little story,
as things go in these prosaic times,
that story of how Uose Dysart became
Sirs. Colonel Clitheroe when she war
IS and he was 4iJ.
Rose declared that she had been In
love with him all her life. Certainly at
2 years old she had been in the habit
of assuring him, "Rosie'll marry you
iwhen she's big," whereupon he al
ways answered, "All right, little wo
man, I'll wait for you."
The child's passionate devotion to the
handsome officer was quite an amuse
ment to ber parents. But when his
regiment was ordered off to India, and
they saw the little face grow white and
thin, and heard her heartbroken sobs.
they laughed no longer. Even after '
sbe ceased to cry for "Itosie's colonel'' I
be never forgot him. j
The pretty baby had grown to a tall,
slim girl of 13 when these two friends
met again, lty that time Rose Dysart I
was a pupil at a small and select board-:
tng school in the environs of Paris, and
on one of the frequent visits which her
father and mother paid to their darling
they came, by chance, across Colonel '
Clitheroe, who also was spending a few
flays in the gay capital. ;
"How Is Hosie? Has she forgotten
tne?" were among bis first questions, j
Airs. Dysart laughed. .
' "Koso Is at school at Neullly. Come
(with us this afternoon, and then judge
for yourself whether you have beer
forgotten."
The girl had not grown stiff and shy

dressed, and her fresh young face won
its fair share of notice as she awaited
among the crowd of debutantes.
Then followed six weeks of gayety;
concerts, opera, dances, garden parties,

was glad when her father decided to re
turn to the country before midsummer.
Everything seemed beautiful and en

Colonel Clitheroe was to be one or
the after season guests at the Dyaaxts"
country house; he followed them within
a fortnight of the departure from Eton
place.
ws anything troubling him? Was
he unwell? Those were the questions
they asked him, for he did not seem so
cheerful as usual, and he was apt to
drP lnto flts of nuslng, so that even
tbe voice of Rose made him start as ons
who returns suddenly from the land of
dreams to reality.
The fact was that he had promised
to execute a commission which
distasteful to him.
"Colonel," a bright-faced guardsman
had said to falm one day, "I'll tell you a

Colonel Clitheroe worked vigorously
at a tuft of grass with the toe of his
boot for some moments before answer
ing. "Have you spoken for yourself?" he
suddenly Inquired.
"Not in plain words. Every time I
try to get round to the point there seems

"If a favorable moment comes, bat

Harry Rawdon waa a good fellow

"I abould think not, indeed," and the
Colonel laughed. "Your advances were
so flattering. I could not reckon up

followed the smile, "I suppose one ot

A writer, Mr. E. W. Bok. tells of the
discovery ln India of a real Mowgll, or
wolf child, such aa most of you have
read of ln the Jungle books of that de
lightful story teller, Rudyard Kipling.
Thla curious little creature was found
a number of years ago by some natives
who were hunting a wolf. When he
saw them be ran Into a cave, but was
speedily captured. They decided he
was a wolf boy about seven years old,
a little fellow who had undoubtedly
been carried off by the wolves when a
baby, and Instead of being eaten had
been nnrsad and protected by the moth
er wolf Just as the Mowgll of Kipling's
stories was. He naturally became
more animal than boy, running oa his
arms and legs and living like the wild
beasts of the Jungle. He was' put in
an orphan asylum and a great effort
was made to teach him to be a human
being, but It was net very successful.
"He still Uvea," says Mr. Bok, "and is
only half human. Ha eats his food
from ths ground wRh his teeth, runs
chlefiy on all fours, aad will wear lit
tle or no clothing. A doctor who has
seen him says that hla "head Is small,
his brow uncommonly lew and con
tracted, while hla eyas are gray, rest
less and squinting. He has a small,
wrinkled face, oa which are soars
marks, doubtless, of severs bites receiv
ed from animals. He stands about five
feet two inches ln height aad la par
tially covered with thick hair. He has
never been able to tell his Story, so his
birth and hla Kfe among tke wolves re
main a mystery."
