A MEMORIAL DAY
KEOONOLimCN
GREAT tear fell on the pic
tured baby face Edith Win
ton held in her hands, and
bowing her head on her
arms, she sobblngly moan
ed "If baby had lived,
maybe we ." She got no
further, a perfect torrent
of tears overwhelmed her.
and shook her frail body. The past
year of battling with the world,
brooding sorrow and disillusionment,
all had told upon her, and as she look
ed ahead to the long vista of lonely
years, she regretted her hasty step,
and was altogether ready to retrace It,
If possible.
Indeed, she had not truly meant to
leave Hugh! They had quarreled, quar
reled bitterly, and many harsh and
hasty words had been spoken on
both sides, but Bhe had not really ex
pected that he would let her go. Once
beforo, after a quarrel, she had be
gun lo pack her belongings, and he
had taken a little grip out of her hands
In that strong, masterful way she
loved, folded her In his arms, kissed
away tho angry tears, and all had
been well. But this time she watched
and waited In vain for the overtures
'toward reconciliation, but instead ho
ihad calmly watched her preparations
'to leave, and finally locked himself in
ihls den.
Her parents, upon her arrival homo,
hal been as ever, kind and considerate,
but plainly out of patlenco with what
they termed their childish quarreling.
She had patiently waited there for a
Islgn, a word, a letter, but tho days had
grown Into weeks, and tho weeks Into
months, and nono had como. Finally
la letter did come from their family
lawyer informing her in a cold, matter-of-fact
way that their household
goods were stored, and enclosing a
generous check, which, tho letter read,
would be forwarded to her each
month, but she had promptly returned
It, curtly refusing to accept any help.
She would earn her own living, as she
had so often told Hugh sho could, in
their little quarrels.
But she was finding it a hard task.
She had not cared to take a position in
her home town where every one woro
that sympathetic, "I-told-you-eo" smile,
but had come to the city. She had
readily secured employment in an
office, but sho found living expenses
high, and it was sometimes hard to
make ends meet, and she was very
lonely! TV-.
The first few months of their separa
tion she had felt resentment, their dif
ferences fresh In her memory, but
long ago they had faded into a deep
regret, a yearning for the sight of his
face, the sound of his voice, the touch
of his hand, the protection of his
strong arm. Sho had Indirectly heard
that he had given up his position and
left tho village, where no one knew,
f Exhausted by weeping, she again
picked up the tear-wet photo and, as
eho had tenderly placed It in her
dresser drawer, said bitterly: "Yes, he
has forgotten us, baby you and me
and tomorrow Is Memorial day, and no
one will place a flower on your llttlo
neglected grave." As tho littlo green
mound In the quiet cemetery camo
yividly beforo her, she felt It calling
to her, that by Us side only, could sne
find solace for the pain In her heart
that was growing unbearable. It would
be an ordeal for her to go back to tho
little vlllago where, but a few short
years ago sho had gone as a happy
fcrlde, but she would take tho early
train from the city and arrive beforo
many of the curious townspeople woro
about. She could ill afford tho trip
just now, but sho could easily, too
easily, dispense with some meals
the coming week, would do her
own laundry work and cling to her
leaky rubbers. True, the cough, still
clung to her from tho cold she had
contracted tho last wet day, but what
did It matter? There was no one to
care perhaps it would bo as well to
be laid besldo baby inBtead of struggling.
Early tho next morning Edith Win-
ton, heavily veiled and sad eyea, nug
Kins to her a tiny bunch of white flow
ers that woro llko the little flaxen
face and the hands of her baby as sho
remembered them, alighted at tho lltr
tie station, and taking a side street,
wended her way to the cemetery. She
j the ion, ior on every slffio aroso tho
ghosts of burled hopes, sad mem
' orles and recollections of her young
I married life.
I As sho entered tho comotory, she
1 could see tho little whlto head-stone
with the tiny lamb gleaming in tho
distance. Sho knew tho path well, but
It camo to her that this was tho first
time sho had over come alone! They
had always como together she had
had Hugh's arm to lean upon in her
moments of weakness.
So overcome by emotion and blind
ed by tears was she as sho neared the
little grave that sho was almost upon
it beforo sho discovered that some ono
else was bending over it, a man whose
shoulders seemed to probe tho depths
of their souls. Surely, some ono
must have mistaken the grave! Yet,
there waB something strangely fa
miliar about that close-cropped brown
head! Slowly, the man, as if suddenly
aware of her presence, aroso and their
eyes met in one long look which seem
ed to probo tho depths of their souls.
"Edith," ho cried, and what a world
of regret, of longing and heart hunger
lay in the slnglo word! "Hugh," she
answered tremulously, and two tiny in
visible baby hands reached up from
tho gravo and re-united their hearts
and hands forevermoro.
WELCOMED A KICKING.
Odd
Popu-
Incident That Proved the
larity of Dumas.
In "My Autobiography" Mmc. Ju
tilth, the great French actress, writes
of Alexander Duuias the elder:
"This giant of n mulatto, with his
big, black, mocking eyes, his wide nos
trils, thick lips, heavy chin, his crisply
curling hair and his forehead with its
Btrango bumps, like that of some un
ruly child who is always fighting with
his comrades, was truly a representa
tive personage, a type reflecting all the
passion of the romanticists. There
would have been something wanting to
his time if this grandson of a negresa
had not been seen striding along the
Parisian boulevards, if his laugh had
not been heard on tho terraces of the
cafes or if he- had not appeared playing
Ills part -with naive self satisfaction to
official ceremonies and at the Tutleries
ball, or Tvalking about behind the
scenes ot the theater with his arm'
aronnd the waist of some actress, or
eating and drinking enough- for four in
tho merry suppers at which authors'
and artists used to meet.
"Ills popularity wns simply unequal
ed. There was a story current In my
tlmo of a singular wager made by
Mery of Marseilles. Walking one dny
in some public garden with a friend;
he suddenly said to him: 'Do you see
that big, ridiculous looking- fellow?' P
hot you 100 sous that if T kick him, no
matter whOre, instead of flying into- n
rage he will make mo a pollto bow.'
"The-bet was taken, and Mery, creep
ing Htenlthlly up behind' M. Prua'
homme, gave him n tremendous kick in
the small of his back. Tho man turned'
red with indignation, but Mery cried;
'Oh, I beg yonr pardon, sir; I took yun
for Alexander Dumas, with whom I'
have an account to settle.''
"His victim, only too proud to bo
taken for such a great man, at onco re
lented' and, taking off his hat in the
most amiable manner, he- said, with a-
bow, 'There Is no harm done, mon
sieur.' The- hundred sous- were worn"

WOMKX AS SCHOOL HEADS.
Tho Old Chicago Captain Madej Two
Plays to Dahlen's One.
Tim Hurst, the votoran umpirat, told
tills one on Bill Dahlen -when Bill was
youth toiling under- Cap Amson In
Chicago. Said ho:
"Anson called Dahlen good and hard
In a game I was umpiring In Chicago.
Dahlen took it without snylng-a word;.
but i few mlnutos. later Bill rtmarkoCJ
to me, 'Watch me- bark than old fob
low's shins.' 'Acs was not ns agile
then as ho was in his younger days.
and he stoopedl with much effort. Alii
through that game Bill made grant
stops, only toi throw tho fcall a few
feet in front of tho bag, and' it was. up
to Anson to stop It with hla shins.
"However, that was not tho end at It
A few days, later the Whlto Stockings
had to maU a trip to St. Loul3, and
Anson told Dahlen ho would not bo
taken on tho trip. Bill had been told
that several times nnd he thought 'Am'
was fooling. Tho train left Chicago
about midnight and Dahlen -was with.
tho rest of tho team.
"When tho train was about twenty-
five miles out of Chfcago the conductor
told Anson there were sixteen men in
tho party and ho had received only
fifteen tickets. Anson said there wore
only fifteen men and named tho berths
they occupied.
" 'The man In berth No. 17 says he is
a member of the Chicago team,' said
tho conductor, who was referring to
Dahlen. 'Ho's stringing you,' replied
Anson. Poor Bill was asked to cough
up and couldn't. Tho train was stop
ped, and Dahlen was put off the train
about thirty miles from Chicago. How
ho got back to Chicago only Bill him
self knows, but ho would not talk to
nnybody for a week."
In Some States They Sbern to 5fonop-l
onze I'jmicntlonnl Work.
There are In this country four hun
dred and ninety-live women county
and four state superintendents of
education, according to the United
States- bureau of education;.
In some states women appear to
have almost a monopoly of tho Bick
er positions in tho public school sys
tem. Wyoming has a woman state
superintendent, the deputy state su
perintendent is a woman,. and' of tfto
fourtcen counties in the state all but'
one are directed educationally by
women. In Montana, where there aTe
thirty countries, only one man Is re
ported as holding the nositlon of
county superintendent.
The- increaso in the number of
women county superintendents is
most conspicuous in tho west, but is
not confined to that section. New
York reports twenty-four -women dis
trict superintendents, as- against
twelve scnool commissioners-in 1900.
Other states showing marked in
crease aro Iowa, from thirteen in I
1900 to forty-four in 1912; Kansas,
from- twenty-six in 1900 to forty
nine in 1912; Nebraska, from ten to
forty-two in the samo period; North
Dakota, from ten to twenty-four;
Oklahoma, from seven to fourteen,.
In only two states is a decrease re
ported. Tennessee had nine in 1900
and only five in 1912; and Utah has
one less than a decade ago;
Together with the adt-snaonifiat of
women In the administrative branch
of education has como a demand for
women on local board's, and this
demand1 has been recognized in many
communities. The following cities of
100,OtJO population or- over- report

And when wo Ttop to reflect, that 50
