It was the merest accident that Mar- ' cus Blake became acquainted with Nellie Powers, she preceded him leav- ing a street car and he followed her. A startled cry from her lips caused him to notice the fairest face he had ever gazed upon. “0Oh,” she cried in vivid distress— *] left my purse on the window ledge 7of my seat, and it held all I have in -the world.” ; She even started to pursue the car, but Marcus checked her vain endeav- or. “Quick,” he said—where will I find you, if I recover the purse?” “I work at 232 and my name is Nel- lle Powers,” came rapidly from the ag- tated lips, and Marcus dashed to the curb and sprang into a taxi. “I wish to overtake that car ahead,” i shot out Marcus, and within three ‘minutes the driver pulled up at a street crossing half a block ahead of the car, sald “Half a dollar,” and & moment later Marcus was aboard of the car that had led him his wild chase. It held only one or two pas- sengers. Marcus traversed its length. He scanned the window ledges but they held no purse. _“Looking for something?” question- o Mr. and Mrs. Will Chureh,of Nary | jBondsville, Mass., a8 and potatoes:for.the winter, Leave |* H today. .

K, OBSERVES NATAL DAY. Mrs. J. Caulfield entertained for her little daughter, Anna ‘Wednesday afternoon, the occasion being her sixth birthday anniversary. The guests were: Alice Krantz, Jack Currie, Thomas Donnelly, Alice 0’Connell, Thomas Wheelock, Myrtle Caulfield, Loraine Coosbaugh, Harry Hazen, Jack Hazen, Loretta McClur- nan, Mary Jane Corrigan, Angeline Corrigan, John Corrigan, Dorothy Marie Caulfield and Lucile Caulfield. The afternoon was spent in games and refreshments were served. Many nice presents were received. ed the conductor. “Why, ves. A young lady passenger you let off at Market sgreet”— “I remember her, pretty as a pic- ture. Sat in the fourth seat from the front.” “Yes. she placed her purse on the window ledge and forgot it.” A smile of enlightenment crossed the conductor’s good natured face. “I fancy the purse is still aboard,” he re- marked. “I've had these cases be- fore. You see, the window ‘lets down from the bottom and there is 'a big space at the sill to allow its manipu- lation. Instead of placing her purse on the sill, the young lady probably let it drop down the window slide.” The conductor turned out a true prophet. The purse was recovered at the cost of an hour’s time. Marcus was gratified to appear at 232, which proved to be a millinery store, and re- celve the thanks of Miss Powers. “All my week's pay and as much more that I have saved Is in the purse,” she explained. “I need it all to pay the doctor bill of my. little brother, who is just recovering from a long slege of illness,” and although the conversation was brief it resulted in Blake ascertaining that Miss Pow- ers and her brother were all alone in the world, and their living address in two rooms, the kind-hearted land- lady of which, looked after little Les- ter, the sick boy. Marcus lived in a suburb. Spring had just started in, and anxious to see Miss Powers again Blake cast about him next morning for something that would please her invalid brother. The result was that he stopped on his way to work, and delighted little Lester by bringing him a baby rabbit. His re- - ——— can woman’s life must not be taken te mean she thinks the Belgian wom- en are dissatisfled. On the contrary, the queen is proud of the home life of the Belgians. But where there’s room for improvement, she wants to give them a chance to develop it. what do they do to amuse their hus- bands? That is one of the things Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, wants to find out on her tour of the United States. The cheerfulness, versatility, their taste in dress and the way in which they make their sweethearts and hus- bands idolize them is a source of wonder to the queen,{ who wants to NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES. _Mrs. Clara E. Hewitt of 1433 Ir- vine avenue, has made a gift to the Bemid!l normal school, of a number of curios and Indian relics from dif ward ‘wak the company .of Miss Pow ers all the way down town. A new interest in life began to ma- terialize for both the devoted young people. There was not'a day when Blake did not carry into town some reminder of the country—the early wood violets, the first fruit blossoms and the like. Litte Lester had but one ardent hope; to get oat amid na- ture, but the physician had told Nellie that he must be near at hand where he could come under medical care un- til he was further convylesgent. One day Nellie introduced Blake to an old gentlewun who lived in- the building and who dropped in occa: sionally to cheer up little Lester. The latter had quite a collection of apti- cles Blake had donated, and from Mr. Rossiter, who was placing a suburban subdivision on the market, Marcus re- ceived a suggestion which he dlscus- sed with enthusiasm. “You have given me quite an idea, Mr. Blake,” he said, “you are quite in touch with nature, in fact directly {n the midst of it. My office fronts a street with many passersby and with a window big enough to display a min- iature farmn. I'll make it well worth your while to fix up that window dafly with the developing beauties of nature on a big scale, just as you have on a small one for Lester here.” Thenceforward every day Blake brought in further reminders of the couniry. He kept pace with vegetation and added to the window display frein time to time, and intro- duced so many novelties that the ad- vertisement proved a profitable one to the energevic land man. Fipally that show window had all the attri- butes of a miniature rural spot, even to. a mimic waterinll, frogs, fishes, birds, and at length Mr. Rossiter em- ployed Blake permanently at a salary nearly’ double the one he hai earning. “The doctor says 1 am wéll enough to go out in the country uow,” glee- fully announced Lester one day. “You shall do so soon.” said Blake. “There’s a special room my mother has fixed up for you." “But what about Nellie?” inquired the little fellow. will be placed in the school as a be- pected’ that other specimens will be added to it from time to timd. Mrs. Hewitt is past eighty years old and some of these curios have been with her since her girlhood days. She ex- pects to leave in a few days for her old home at Kenyon, Minn., where she will spend the winter. “The grade children of the normal school, supervised by their teachers, visited the Crookston -lumber mills Wednesday afternoon in connection with their geography lesson. This observation work is proving very in- teresting to the children. The trip to and from the mill was made by automobile.
