She had met the young scion of the American branch of the Roth- schild family in Chicago while he was making a trip around the world. He fell in love at first sight. Miss Menn and her mother went to Vienna for the formal engagement announcement, While they were there, the late Baron Albert Rothechild, father of Baron Oskar, gave notice to his son that he would not permit the American girl to become a member of his family. Then Baron Oskar went to his room, wrote a note of farewell to Miss Menn and Killed himself. “I can- speculation {s the worst thing a KELAND OPNBIBTRA S A * BOBE ML > N MBI AT S IUAINB IS P PO G PO TURTY SR By &P = AT DI IR IS ~rm A PO @ A MABEL E.

Paris.—We have all known the “bals blancs” for young lads and lasses, the “bals roses” for young couples, “bals d'apaches,” “bals par- fumes,” and all sorts of other freak balls, but the “bal mur” is a novelty, This has been invented by a chari- table hostess for the great parterre of wallflowers, for men and women who have long hovered over t.. “forty” line, yet still desperately claim its neighborhood, or for those who heroically have said good by to dancing before. The name of “bal mur” is not a | very flattering one and probablv this | category of choreographic fetes will :kccn come to be known by the more poetic title of “bal de St. Martin" referring to the legendary summer | afterglow known as the Ete de St. Martin. The first one was a great | guccess, and in the two months fol- | lowing it led to no fewer than thirty- lsmen marriages.

I've got a farm over yonder in that river-bottom. ; There's a house there! it's well fitted up for me and you—not for me and somebody else.” { “Sam, I know you have waited for !me and I couldn’t decide, but now I (have decided; Il go and be your | wife.

Tonight?” | “No, not tonight—but the next day i after Thanksgiving.” Sam was happy and went to his home, ¢ o 0 The morning was cold, and the big | flakes of snow drifted through the | keen air and settled on the frozen i ground. It was Thanksgiving and the day was good for killing hogs. Before sun-up Dock Hill built fires junder the big kettles down in the i horse lot and the neighbors came over | to help him. The neighbor women wrapped shawls around their heads "and flocked to the house to aseist | Dock’s wife in preparing the big din- ner, ! That morning Sam went across the | fleld to Dock Hill's. When he arrived | there other men were standing around | the roaring fire built between two large logs, upon which rested the | scalding kettles with dirty-looking | water. Sam came through the patch of | weeds and climbed the rail fence. | “We're waitin’ fer you. The water's | gettin’ hot,” some one called. Then this same person in a lower tone spoke ]‘to those around him: “I wonder it i he’s heered the news yet?

I'm not feelin' good,” he | said. | Sam went toward his home over in the Cumberland river bottoms and | after he was out of hearing one of the { men spoke up: “Say, Sam don't seem {to keer a durn if Allie did run off with that other feller, does he?” An old man fanned the smoke away from his face and answered: “Young feller, you can't allus tell when a man’s heart has been hurt. Sam’s one of them men that can't be seen into, You can’t see the real Sam by looking into his face. Ie's one of these quiet sort of men. A better one never lived.” Sam Williams went to his home and saddled his horse, Slowly down the road he started with an ashy face and eyes that looked at nothing. I1is horse took him to the nearcst vi whisky was sold. Late that afternoon he came back. His horse was in a dead run, and f{ts rider, with a long pistol in one hand, started the people | living in sizht of the road with shots and wild whoops. “Well—did—you—ev—er!" woman exclaimed, “If that ain’t Sam ! Williams. Who'd a thought it? Never saw him that way before, and I kain’t believe my old eyes now.” When the darkness of that day came the wind settled, the air grew softer and snow began falling, Dock 11ill opened his front door and “Sam, an old | looked out into the darkness, “Hit's Jest peppering down snow.

Nearly breathless he ran up, and there on the yard fence he saw Sam Willlams sitting with a gun in his hand. | “Go back home, Dock. This 18 my house and I've got a right to do as 1 like. Go back, go back.” After the fire in the building was beyond control of anyone who might want to interfere, Sam took his horse from the stable, started a fire in the large hayloft and galloped away down the road on his steed. There are peo- ple in this community who heard the hootbeats of Sam's horse as he swept down the road that night, but there are none who have seen him since. (Copyright, by Dally Btory Pub. Co.)
