Her only son had been a soldier | in the French army. Some seven years ago she recelved news that he had died in Algeria. Great was her surprise when | in the spring of last year she received a | telegram from her daughter, who had | settled In a neighboring town, which read, “Brother has returned alive and well.” She doubted it, yet longed to believe it. | That same day there called upon her a man who claimed to be the son she had | long mourned as dead. He bore a strik- ing resemblance to her soldier boy, and yet there were differences. She thought | he had changed a great deal. | _ “How you have grown,” she said, “and | how much darker you have become! Your hair and eyes were. quite light col- ; now you look like a southerner.” “That is the effect of the African sun, | mother,” he sald, as she flung her old arms around him. It was a comrade of his, he explained, who had died, and the | military authorities, who take no interest in privates, had got the names mixed. He penitently acknowledged that he had treated her shamefully in not writing to her for so long, but he was going to make amends for that by taking all the hard work of the farm off her hands. He | proved as good as his word. He lived at | the farm and managed it, and Mother Jeanroy, happier than she had ever ex- pected to be again in this world, settled | down to the enjoyment of freedom from care and toil. WINS “SISTER’S” HEART. Things went on in this fashion for sev- eral months. He contrived to see a great deal of the daughter, and she soon dis- covered that she was much fonder of her brother than she had been before he went away. Everywhere in the neighborhood he was accepted as the missing Jeanroy. It was occasionally discovered that he had forgotten things connected with old | friends and acquaintances that he ought The Progressive Store Expansion—Rcarrangement Sale This Wee “Will you ever stop fixin’ things?” remarked a customer the other day. Our answer was: “We never expect to stop as long as what we do is appreciated.” So we are at it now, and within two weeks the following changes will have been made: o 4 The DEPARTMENT of MISSES’ SUITS and DRESSES will be moved to the fourth floor, giving the Corsel Bargains In going through the Corset stock preparatory to rearrangement and using more room, we find quite an accumulation of odd sizes and broken' lines, as well as a small quantity left over from the Wreck Damaged Sale of a few weeksago.

The military au- thorities were quite willing to substi- tute a true name for a false one, but, they explained, the regulations required them first to make an investigation. That investigation showed that S. Jeanroy had really dled in military ser- vice in Algeria and that Moutotte had been his messmate and most intimate friend there. Through this close com- panionship he had learned a deal about his dead comrade’'s family circum- stances and that, and the resemblance he bore to him, had made it compara- tively easy when dealing with simple folk to personate hnim. The fraud was unmasked and Moutotte was arrested and put on trial. MOTHER FORGIVES HIM. It was then matters took a still more surprising turn. Old Mother Jeanroy, though convinced that Moutotte was not her son, wrote the Judge piteous appeals on behalf of “her boy,” as she | called him. He had, she said, taken her dead son's place in her heart. She could not bear to think of having to go back to her old life again without him. She preferred a bogus son to no son at all. And her daughter, who had beén equally taken in, bore her sham brother no ill-will at all. She also pleaded for him. Before the matter came up for final judicial settlement she was able to announce that, having discovered she was not the prisoner’s sister, she had | consented to become his wife. Under the circumstances, Moutotte's counsel argued, he had really inflicted no injury on those whom he had de- ceived, but had brought happiness to the home which he had entered under false pretenses. Instead of a son old Mother Jeanroy would gain a son-in- law and her daughter a real husband in place of a bogus brother. The Judge proved himself possessed of both sentiment and common sense. Matrimony he regarded as something which everybody should do his utmost to encourage in France. All's well that ends well, and this case will end as all good stories should end, in a wedding.

LONDON, Feb. 10.—Prince Arthur of Connaught is now well on his way to Japan via the Suez canal to present the Mikado with the Orader of the Garter. His return trip will be through the United States. The Prince is 23, and it is a great compliment to his tact and ability that at such an early age he should have been chosen for such an important mission. He is, of course, the only English Prince of the blood royal of adult age, except the Prince of Wales, who is available for royal embassies, and he has proved that he has all the qualities necessary for his task, including personal, charm and dignity. Seldom has it fallen to the lot of a royal Prince in modern times to have lived so crowded a Mfe in so few years. Prince Arthur fifst repre- sented his Majesty during the Shah of Persla’s visit, when the King was con- valescent after his operation and the Prince of Wales was detained else- where. The Shah, it will be remem- bered, has stated that one of his hap- plest recollections of that visit to Eng- land was the tact, the courtesy, and the dignity which marked the hospital- ity which the youthful Prince had | offered on benalf of the King. | Toilet Arlicles Four good, strong, money-saving specials for Monday to enforce upon your mind the fact that we are in the business: Mennen's Talcum Powder....12¢ Witch Hazel Talcum Powder..10¢ Rubifoam .. .15¢ Sozodont . .15e —USE— Perrin Kid Gloves To be sure of satisfaction in every respect . . . of 200 is $3.50 Woolen Waists $1.75 $2.50 Woolen Waists $1.35 54 dozen of them were delivered 6o days late, hence the above re- duction authorized by the manufacturer. at the needlework will be vince you of the value.

LONDON, Feb. 10.—That Queen Christina of Spain scarcely tolerates the compact that will make an Eng- lish Princess King Alfonso’s royal con- sort is well known here and in all the courts of the continent of Europe. Queen Christina, whose devotion to her son during his minority was never excelled by a peasant mother, is bitter- ly disappointed that Alfonso refused to marry the woman she chose for him— his cousin, the young Archduchess Ga- brielle Maria Theresa of Austria. At San Sebastian and Biarritz the Queen mother displayed only the barest, most formal politeness to Princess Ena of Battenberg and her mother, Princess Henry (Beatrice). So the prophets of evil foresee that Princess Ena will be far from happy, deprived of her mother-in-law’s affec- tion,” dwelling in the blighting atmos- phere of Spanish etiquette and ever threatened by anarchists, who, seeking ADVERTISEMENTS.

In her mother’s native land Princess ' Ena’'s enforced acceptance of Roman Catholicism as a precedent condition or her marriage is arousing bitter Protes- tant hostility. Church of England clergymen in high places are writing to the newspapers imploring King Ed- ward to Interfere to prevent “this Spanish marriage, an event of evil omen in English history.” These Pro- testant clergymen point out that if Princess Ena ever revisits England as Queen of Spain she will be accompan- fed by a Catholic confessor and will pay her devotions at the feet of a Catholic Archbishop. But all this hostile expression, in the view of many English men and women sufficiently devoted to their church, .is only bigoted, impertinent interference with the personal liberty of Princess Ena, who, they say, having no claim of succession to the British throne, is free to make her own choice of a hus- band. The Pope has firmly declined to concede to King Alfonso any modifica- tion of the procedure usual in receiving royal converts into the holy Roman church. Nor is it improbable ' that Queen Christina brought this about. Princess Ena will go to Rome and remain at the Spanish embassy. From there, accompanied by her mother and her suite, she will drive in a papal car- riage to the Vatican, where the Pope will receive her in his private apart- ments with royal honors. The Prin- cess, then an obedient daughter of the church, will depart from Rome without visiting the King and Queen of Italy at the Quirinal. Ena has already been instructed in the Catholic religion by a barefoot Carmelite friar attached to the Carme- lite church close to Kensington Palace. She now awaits only her formal Te- ception into the church by the Pope. Meantime private letters describe Al- fonso as a gallant lover who is paying his court with so much enthusiasm that the nobles of his suite are convinced he is really in love. The Princess, a girl of charming freshness and sweet- ness of disposition, responds with great modesty. Alfonso delayed from day to day his return to Madrid, frankly saying to his suite: “This is the happlest time of my life; why should 1 not prolong it?” In the trial of their wills the King's proved stronger than his mother’s, for while she peremptorily demanded his return to Madrid he declined to go -laulons as his flancee remained at Blar- ritz. 1 —————— The difference between what you did pay and what you should have paid for “things” in your recent -horplns is probably enough to make it worth Wwhile for you to read the store-ads. hereafter, 3 Ends His Life When Asleep.
