"And i!i)Mi(n, mother what hns be
come of her?"
Alliin Fairfax ankcd the question with
perceptible heightening of the color iti
his brown check, briiiKliii; it In, as It
were, carelessly, olthouli it was the one
question tlint hail been In Mm iniml all
this first dny of his return from lopg
East Indinn absence.
"Oh, she married some fellow or other,
ami let nic see 1 believe hIiu Is dead."
"You speak vaguely, mother, of your
own niece."
"Well, really, yon know that Glen Fair
fax's family never seemed like our own,
ami Hosiin was always full of some,
whim or other."
Mrs. Fairfax thought to herself how
fortunate it was that Itosita was out of
ber son's way.
"Allan would have been just absurd
enough to renew the old engagement If
he had had the ghost of on opportunity,
and now that Helen Farqunrson, with all
that property of hers, fnncies him such a
piece of chivalrous romance would have
been simply absurd."
Mrs. Fairfax sailed out of the room,
and he was left aloue.
"Married 1" he muttered. "Oh, Rosita,
how could you have so soon forgotten?"
"I know I could do It, mnnima!"
"But, Itosita, only think of It!" cried
the poor little widow, wringing her help
less hands. "You, Glen Fairfax's daugh
ter, stooping to such a menial occupation
as that of a hairdresser, Itosita!"
"No, mnmnin," Interrupted Ilosltn,
laughing. "Give It the French grace of
siguiticntion. Say coilTetise."
And Itosita went out with a smile that
seemed to turn her wholo bright face to
sunshine. "She Is fit to bo a princess,"
thought tho mother, with a longing, lin
gering thrill of tenderness.
Mine. Lucilo de 1'reiineror received her
new workwoman very graciously.
"You are just In time, my dear," she
said. "Ma fol, the orders that I have re
ceived today! If I had hud 100 hands,
they would nil have been busy. Let me
see. What are wo to call you?"
"My name Is Ho"
"Oil, true, true, hut It was not of that
I was thinking. I like my girls to adopt
Flench names. Miss Meenie Dow Is call
ed here Nnnnotte Dupont, and you you
are Marie I'elotte. You do not nbject?
It gives us style, Parisian ton."
"I do not object," said Itosita. smiling
at tho oddity of the whim.
"Well, Marie I'elotte, you shnll go out
today. I have three orders two dinner
parties and a bnll. Here are my plates
du mode. Study them well nnd repro
duce them on tho heads of my patroness
es. Do you think you can meet the
emergency?"
"Certainly, mn'nm."
"You will find the number of the
streets and the hour of appointment on
tho card. You will charge $." a head, and
I look to you, Marie Pclottc, to sustaiu
' tho well known honor of the Freiincror
cstnblishment."
Hoslta went out nt the appointed hour,,
her henrt beating rather tuiiiiiltiiouiily,
but nevertheless quite prepared to meet
the onerous duties before her.
Tho first candidate, n little bewlgged
female who was scarcely visible through
the paint and powder on her face, was
easily disposed of and was highly grat
ified at the amount of puffs that Uosltn
arranged for her.
"I like you. I'elotte," said this eccen
tric lady. "Toll I'reuneror always to
send you to me."
The second place was a mansion, with
brownstone slps nnd velvet window dra
peries fringed with gold. Mile. I'elotte
was shown into a boudoir whose ele
gance reminded her of other days by
some strange, hloVcn link of usHociiitlou.
Presently a pert looking girl came to her.
"My mistress will Bee you In her dress
ing room."
Itosita followed her into n room where
a lady sat In a loose dressing wrapper of
white mull, heavy black hair falling down
her back a Indy whose haughty glance
toward her as sho beckoned her to ap
proach filled her with nameless terror.
It was her aunt, Mrs. John Fnirfax.
Evidently, however, she wus herself
unrecognized, and. gathering new coin
age from this, she glided round to the
back of the chair and commenced her op
erations, secretly thnnkjng the planets
for Mrs. Fairfax's nearsightedness.
Mrs. Fairfax languidly opened a book
and began to read, while Kositn. with
trembling hnnds, proceeded to brush and
arrange the heavy hair of the woman
who turned coldly from them lu their
hour of need.
"How slow you are!" exclaimed Mrs.
Fairfax Impatiently nfter she had read a
few pages. "You will never be through!
Who is that at the door? Open It!"
Hut Rosita did not stir, and the lady,
concluding that the young Frenchwoman
did not understand English, readily call
ed out, "Come In!"
The door opeued, and Allan Fairfax en
tered, looking rather surprised as be did
o.
"You are busy," said he, "nnd I will
not"-
The half completed sentence died away
on hi) tongue as he stood gazing at the
golden haired girl who was behind his
mother's chair. ,
"Itosita!" he exclaimed. "My Rosita!"
Mrs. Fairfax sprang up and applied
her eyeglasses to the hard black eyes that
had played her so false.
"What does this mean?" she cried. But
the girl replied to Allan alone.
"Not your Rositn!" she answered, with
spirit. "I am one of Mme. Preuneror's
employees dressing your mother's hah'. I
do not scorn to earn my bread and that
of my mother, whom I lint woman turned
from her doors n year ago Why did you
not speak a word for us then. Mr. Fair
fax?" "1 have been in India two years. But
I wrote to you."
"I never received your letters."
"Mother," said Allan sternly, "will you
give ine an explanation of this?"
Kut Mrs. Fairfax had sunk Into a
chnlr. covering ber face with her bands.
"You told me that Itosita was married;
that sho was dead!"-Exchange.

MORGAN'S HAIDERS.
THE FAMOUS ROUGH RIDING CAM
PAIGN OF THE CIVIL WAR.
It Carried ran In and Coufnslon Tnto
Ohio and Inillnnn. tint Resulted In
So Benefit Whatever to the Confed
erate Caaae.
"Cavalry riding," said the major, "is
exciting, but very exhausting business.
Long- distance raids in ' on enemy's
country can bo tnado only where there
are a good many horses. John Morgan
could never hnvo mode Ms mid
through Indiana and Ohio In 1803 if
tho counties raided bod not been well
supplied with tho best horses in the
west When be started from the Cum
berland river, in east Tennessee, Mor
gan believed that ho would sweep
everything before blm and that. If
properly snpported, he would capture
Cincinnati.
"Morgan, with a well organized bri
gade of cavalry 4,000 strong, swept
northward from tho Cumberland river
through Kentucky to the Ohio river at
Brandeuberg. 40 miles below Louis
ville. There he captured two steam
boats, crossed tho liver, swept through
southern Indiana, galloped around Cin
cinnati, not more than ten miles from
the city, and then moved eastward,
expecting to cross tho Ohio river at
BtiUington, but was driven back, made
another attempt at Wellsvllle, but was
finally captured at New Lisbon.
"This was the most remarkable raid
of the war. It carried pnnle and con
fusion Into Ohio and Indiana, but in
results it was of no benefit whatever
to tho Confederate cause. Morgan be
lieved that there would be an uprising
in the Confederate interest in Ken
tucky. There was not. lie believed
that the peace Democrats in Ohio
would give blm at least secret support,
but when his men stole the horses of
the peace Democrats the latter Joined j
tho ranks of Morgan's pursuers, and
before tho raid was hnlf over the i
whole stato was aroused, and men I
who had taken no interest in the war
previous to that time shouldered their ;
squirrel rifles to tight the raiders who '
were stealing their horses nnd carry- '
Ing tho horrors of war to their very ;
doors.
"There was bard riding nil the tlmo j
for Morgan's men. They left behind j
them a wreckage of broken down j
horses. They kept ahead of their Un- !
Ion pursuers simply because they stole j
horses right and left and remounted
the men, but they were Uually enptur- '
cd, and that fall Ohio gave tho war !
party the largest majority In the his- ;
tory of the stato up to that time. In i
fact,' the Morgan raid, by carrying the
war into the peaceful districts of In
diana and Ohio, provoked a furious
feeling of resentment, which influ
enced people for 20 years.
"Tho comedy of tho raid was fur
nished by tho people of tho districts
wholly unused to war, wholly unpre- j
pared for it and with exaggerated i
Ideas of tho ferocity of Morgan's men.
For two weeks it was only necessary
for some mischievous boy to shout,
'Morgan is coming!' In any village lu
central or southern Ohio to create a
panic. I know that many of tho raiders J
after Morgan got no rest night or day. I
slept in the saddle, nud not a few of
them fell off their horses in sleep. At
tho end of tho ruld thoy were as ex
hausted as Morgan's men, but with
a more difficult task to perform they
never received half tho praise given
to tho rulders.
"I remember," continued the major,
"one caso In which a woman stabled
her carriage horses in the parlor for
two days to keep them out of Mor
gan's bunds. I saw Morgan's men rido
by thut house and saw some of them
stop to listen at tho unusual sound of
horses' feet on a carpeted floor, but tho
parlor horses were not disturbed. Some
of our neighbors drove their horses,
cattlo and sheep 30 miles Into tho in
terior and were away from home a
week. Morgan's men looted right and
left, and some of them had bolts of
calico strapped to their saddles when
they were captured.
"Morgan, it must be remembered,
made his wholo raid with artillery and
a wagon Iraln, but he was not in Ohio
to fight, and he demonstrated at once
the ease with which a peaceful district,
may bo Invaded by a mobllo column
and at tho same time the peril involv
ed in such a venture. In a few duys
60,000 militiamen were in the field
against him. At first he played with
these green soldiers, but at last they
hung on his Hanks, eager for fight as
bulldogs. In the last days Ilohson's
men, who bad followed Morgan for
hundreds of miles through three states,
closed In on their old enemies with a.
gleefulness that exceeded anything of
the kind I ever saw In the army, and
Judah's men, closing In on the other
side, settled the fate of the raiders.
"Morgan's men knew by tho maneu
vering and the firing when they wero
faced by trained soldiers, and the first
charge of the Union cavalry had In it
the impetus of delayed vengeance. The
Unionists who rode in that charge lmd
old scores to settle, and Morgan's tired
veterans were overwhelmed. After
Morgan had escaped from tho peniten
tiary at Columbus and had reorganized
bis command and wns again raiding
Kentucky hundreds of Union soldier
on theh- way home for discharge left
their trains and Joined lu the pursuit
simply to get a crack at the old raider,
and Morgan knew when their rifles
spoke that he wus up against the real
thing."

I A LOVE LETTER I

"Wilting poetry, Johnny?" Iixiuired
my sister, Lady Knilly, over my shoulder.
"I.ove nnd dove nnd Cupid uml stupi.l
an ! that sort of thing?"
I repudiated the Insinuation with
corn.
"It is a letter," I replied.
Emily dragged a chair close to mine
nnd seated herself. "Uend away, John
ny," she said calmly.
"It Is private," said I.
"It will bo more interesting."
"But It is to a lady," I inlilcil.
"Oh, Johnny I Hut why didn't you tell
me before? Though, of course, it is not
settled yet. You are only pn.ving 'mark
ed attention,' I suppose. And I wasn't
there to see the fun. Well, she's a very
nice girl. I nlwnys liked i'l.yllis. I'.ut I
never thought tlint by just leaving yon
without a sister's care for a fortnight you
would be caught."
I allowed F.mily to continue without
Interruption. I considered tlint her cu
riosity deserved punishment, nnd the
stnrs fought for me. Emily tapped tho
paper with her linger nnd inquired:
"Can I help you?"
"I am very inexperienced." said I smi
iy. "Then I must. An i'l judged remark, a

"Don't!" I exclaimed, with a shudder.
"Oh, It's lovely, Johnny, to see you like
this!" said Emily ecstatically. "How fur
have you got ?"
"Latitude"-
"That's ridiculous!" Interrupted Emily.
"You won't allow me any latitude?"
"Dou't be silly. You must not put any
address or date, but start right nway.
8lie must think you' very agitated, you
know."
"Certainly," said I.
"Begin, 'My darling, darling Phyllis.'"
"Two darlings?" I iiniuircil. busy with
my pen.
"Ye-es, two will do. You're not en
gaged yet. Afterward I should recom
mend three."
I wrote ns dictated. Emily continued:
"'Although n thousand cruel miles of
sen separate lis' "
"But we're not a hundred!" I exclaim
ed. "Please believe mo to know best," said
Emily.
"But tho mea who ninko tho geogra
phies" "Are not the men who make love. Tut
It down."
I obediently placed myself a thousand
miles nway and waited for further in
structions. " 'Yet you ore never, never absent from
my thoughts for a single minute,' " she
continued.
"Do you think a third "never?" I In
quired anxiously.
"No; you should exercise some restraint
nt times. You might, however, uuderlinu
them. Now. go on: 'Separation makes
my life intolerable. Each iinmiuut hero
is n yenr, each day a century.' "
I looked up In some ainnzi-ment. Em
ily continued:
" 'Ah, how I long to see you again to
touch your hand to look Into your
eyes!' "
"That's beautifully agitated. So dis
connected and and jerky," I murmur
ed, scribbling vigorously.
"Couldn't you put in n little touch of
humor, just to freshen it up a bit?" I
asked, Inying down my pen.
"John," said Emily sternly, "n lover
has no sense of humor."
I sighed. I felt the character to be dif
ficult. But I have ninny times watched
the course of true love running smoothly,
and I kuew that Emily was right.
"I am In your hands." I said sadly.
Emily remained in deep thought for
a moment. Then inspiration or memory
cumo to her aid.
" 'I live only for our meeting. I am In
tensely wretched here,' " she dictated.
I looked at my surroundings. The
blue water spnrkled in the sunshine, a
gentle breeze crept under the awning nnd
tempered the noonday heat. I was lying
comfortably in a deck chair, while the
yaclit slirt'od tlirougli tlie water with a
gentle, luzy roll.
But I wrote "I am intensely wretched."
as Emily commanded.
"You have never composed any poetry.
I suppose?" sho inquired.
I blushed. We have all been young.
"Because a verso would be very effect
ive nt this point."
But I dnred not do the thing. And
Emily, after some reflection, decided that
I wns right "Even the eyes of love,"
sho said, "might" Well, she spoke a lit
tle unkindly on the matter.
The letter tilled three pages when com
pleted and was certainly a work of art.
Art, I observe, is usually estranged from
science and absolute accuracy.
"Now," said Emily when her Ideas at
last gave out, "the cud is the most impor
tant part."
"Do yon recommend crosses for kiss
es, you know?" I inquired.
"C'crtaiuly not. They are vulgar.
Write, 'A thousnud thousand kisses, my
darling.' "
"Will they all go for a a penny?" I
asked, with anxious hesitation.
"Do try to be sensible." she Implored.
"But will the postman deliver them?" I
objected.
Emily took no notice, but continued.
"You lind better put 'Your devoted lover
forever and ever.' "
"The description Is exact," said I, with
great dissatisfaction.
"She has u pet name for you. I sup
pose?"
"1 will sign It 'Thomas Jones.' "
"What!" exclaimed Emily. "She calls
you that!"
"It Is tho name of the young sailor

IN THE MATTER OF CRYING.
While Weeplnst Is Q-JH Natural, It
Mar Be "Cured" In Children.
It comes natural to every woman to
pity a child when it hurts itself. Bo
the misadventure big or little, the
mother Immeilhiiely tnkes the little one
in her arms nnd In her most sympa
thetic, pitying tones tries to solace It.
And of course the child concludes
something terrible has happened to it
nud cries vigorously. A little baby If
pitied enn soon be brought to a weep
ing state when nothing whatever is the
matter with It. Just call up your most
tender, sympathetic tone; ask hltn that
time honored question, "Did they boos j
tho baby?" and the little lips will begin j
to quiver, the mouth to droop, and soon j
a wnll breaks forth that Is meant to In- j
dlcato that "they" did. i
Of course children will cry some-
times. Crying Is un Institution thut

of tho little stranger, but the more or
less depends largely on the parents. A
child enn be laughed Into a good hu
mor. Instead of pitying him at tho nu
merous little hurts he gets, thoso that
are really of no importance, treat
them as a good joke. Laugh at them,
and the baby will quickly laugh with
you. It doesn't take long to chase tho
tears awny. Besides doing away with
a lot of unnecessary crying It teaches

does not apply to serious mishaps, but
10 tnoso numerous nine uuiujis wuicu
youngsters are continually getting nnd
which a Utile pity quickly mngnllles
into something of importance iu child
ish eyes.
Never giving a child anything lie
cries for Is another excellent way to
nip In the bud the crying habit. If It is
proper for lilm to have, promise it to
him when he stops crying. Reward his
good behavior, not his bad. Of course
If bad habits in this direction are form

discipline observed from the beginning

long,
' writes Mrs. Chas. Apple-
gate, of Alexandria, Ind., "aud
could hardly got any sleep. I
had consumption so bad that if I
walked a block I would cough
frightfully and spit blood, but
when all other medicines failed,
three 1.00 bottles of Dr. King's
Now Discovery wholly cured me
and I gained f8 pounds." It's
absolutely guaranteed to cure
Coughs, Colds, La Grippe, Bron
chitis and all Throat aud Lung
Troubles. Price Tide and
