HODSON'S LOVE ROMANCE.
Lieutenant Hobson has figured In n
Hove romance, famous In naval clrclen
Once he loved a woman with all the
strength of his singularly strong- and'
earnest nature.
She was the only woman he ever,
loved. She rejected him and married
:a brother olllcer.
The fair woman of his dreams whom
fun-loving cadets called "Hobson'a
choice," was Miss Collins, the daughter
of Mrs. Paul Lyle Collins, formerly of
New Orleans, now of Washington. Mrs.
PattI Collins has long been In the
.government employ as a postofllce
-clerk, where she Is known as an ex
.pert "blind reader," or decipherer of
Illegible addresses. She was once a
successful contributor to current magi
.azlnes.
Miss Collins was one of the great,
belles of Washington. She dressed slm-v
.ply, but In perfect taste. She possessed;
-a. remarkable beauty of the dark souths
em type. She was tall and of stately
carriage, with dark eyes and hair. She!
-was a charming conversationalist. J
Frank Baker Zahm and Richmond!
Pearson Hobson were rivals for her)
hand. '
Hobson entered the Naval academy
Jn 1885, and Zahm two years later. Both
distinguished themselves as students.
JEach carried off "lirst honors," grauj
uatlng at the head of his class. Ac
cording to the regulations, the first
three men In the graduating classes
.at Annapolis are permitted to maka
their own choice of the corps or brand
of the naval service they shall enter,
Both Hobson and Zahm chose the conj
atructlon corps, because a man of thaq
corps omits the grade of ensign and
becomes a Junior lieutenant at once,
Hobson on graduating from the naval
academy studied at the Ecole d'Appll
catlon du tJenle Maritime In Paris, be
ing raduated at the head of his class.
Zahm entered the university of Glas-.
,-gow. from which he, too, was, gradu
ated at the head of his clasB.
The two men who had been rivals in,
their studies and rivals in success werq
.rivals In love.
Both were men of exceptional
strength of chnracter, and both were
terribly In earnest. They had courted
the youthful beauty in their cadet days.
They returned from their foreign stu
dies mature In mind and body and
prepared to pursue their rivalry to thq
'bitter end.
It was a wonderful courtship. They
;say that Hobson, who rarely thinks oj
.anything but his profession, used tq
mingle his conversation with exterior
ballistics and protestations of deathless,
devotion. Little did she know how ha
could defy death.
In spite of his peculiarities of con
versatlon, Hobson is a favorite with,
women, who sometimes, like serious
anen. Nevertheless,- he- was fated to
-fall In this caae. Zahm won the lady.
It is no disparagement to that gallant
officer to say that marriage notoriously
.goes more by favor than by merit.
After this reverse Hobson became

than ever. They say that he cares fori

THE QUEER ENDJFJ GIRL'S ROMANCE,
Sho Married a Spaniard and Bocnmo a Spy -Seeks Revenge Against
Her Native Land for tho Death of Hor Husband In Cuba.
A woman la the eyes, ears nnd brains While the crews of the caravels re
of the Spanish spy system here. I mnlned In America the young people
Interesting as has been some of the found many opportunities to meet. Fl
Information published about the Mont-1 nnlly Cancan returned to his duties ut
renl colony of Snnnlsh oillclnls. the i Paris and the lovers found such con-
most sensational story bearing upon ,
the operations of the staff of the for-
mer Spanish minister to Washington
has not hitherto got Into print. Family
Influence has kept the story secret here
The truth Is, the most valuable spy
of Spain ts a beatulful woman, daugh
ter of one of the best families.
A year before the arrival of the car
avels one of the most notable naval
visitors to the port of Montreal was the
French warship Mlnerve, "llylng the flag
of Rear Admlrnl Vlgne, commanding
the French squadron In American wa
ters. The vessel remained here a lonuj
time, and the officers enjoyed them
selves Immensely. One good mother
had her hopes realized.
The day the Mlnerve left port to tho
tunes of Vive la Canndlenne and the
Marseillaise, La Patrle and La Monde
announced the engagement of the step
daughter of a prominent Judge of the
Court of Queen's Bench to Lieutenant
de Poltras, the Admiral's flng olllcer.
Before Christmas the marriage was
quietly solemnized In the Roman Cath
olic archleplscopal palace.
The match appeared a splendid one,
but the wedding brought bitter sorrow
to one heart, that of Mile, Josephine de
Chapelle, the "woman" of this story
and the life long friend of the bride.
The orange blossoms nnd the gaieties
were a mockery to her, for the mar
riage meant separation from the indi
vidual whom of all others she loved
best. A motherless, slsterless girl her
self, the bride had been not only her
friend, but her adviser In all things.
The Intimate relationship between
Miss de Chappelle and her friend con
sequently kept the former In a very
prominent position In Canadian society,
but after the marriage of her friend
she appeared to lose Interest In social
engagements and society saw little of
her.
Separation from her friend appeared
destined to put a stop altogether to her
participation In the doings of the so
ciety In which she had been hitherto
so keenly Interested. Her father, at
first not altogether sorry at the change
that had apparently come over his only
daughter, eventually became concerned.
At his selgneury on the Ottawa river,
living the peaceful, healthy life of the
Canadian seigneur, occupied In his tim
ber limits, his horses and his parish
church, M. Louis de Chappelle had
little time and less Inclination for so
cial distractions.
He was devoted to his daughter, and
nothing was denied her. At her moth
er's dying request the bringing up of
the girl was intrusted to the care of
her sister, the accomplished wife of M.
Lamoureux, one of the wealthiest mer
chants and bankers In Montreal.
M. Lamoureux is the brother of the
mother of Mme. de Poltras. Josephine
had been given a most thorough educa
tion, first taking a thorough course at
the Convent of the Sacred Heart, and
following It at Vassar, In the United
States. The latter course was prob
nbly a result of the advice of M. La
moureux. On her return from the states a visit
to Mme. de Poltras wus decided upon,
and the whole of the next winter Jo
sephine spent In Paris ns her guest.
Here she regained her old-time gaiety
which hnd characterized her former
career in Canada. The following spring
the young lady returned to Canada, ap
parently herself again.
A month before the caravels arrived
In Montreal, on June 19, 1SU3. Joseph
ine received n letter from her friend
In Paris which caused her some sur
prise. Shortly after she hud left P&ris.
Mme. de Poltras wrote, the lutter had
had as a gust in her house an old
friend of her husband, Lieutenant Con.
cas, of the Spanish royal navy. The
two officers had been educated together
In a naval college on the Uny of nis
cay, and after obtnlnlng commissions
In the lleets of their respective coun
tries had seen more or less of one an
other as their sea duty happened to
be on the same station. Friendly at
school, their friendship became more
firmly cemented during their service.
Then came the part of the communi
cation which especially interested Jo
sephine. Mme. de Poltras added that the first
evening Concas stopped at her house
he had his attention attracted to one
of Josephine's photographs In her cab
inet, and at once became very much
interested. Insisting upon his hostess
showing him all Josephine's pictures
in the house.
Mme. de Poltras added that she
feared her guest, n splendid young fel
low In every way, and a member of one
of the most eminent families In Spain,
as could be Judged by his diplomatic-
appointments, had rallen heau over ears
In love with her through her portrait.
Other letters passed between the
friends before the caravels arrived In
Montreal; Mme. de Poltras never neg
lecting to mention Josephine's young
admirer, and Josephine on her part be
coming, gradually Interested.
It was, consequently, with consider
able Muttering of her blithesome heart
that she at last received a letter from
Mme. de Poltras conveying the Infor
mation that at his own request Concas
had received an appointment to one of
the caravels, then on their way across
the Atlantic.
A few days later nnother letter came,
explaining that Concas had made her
promldy that he should see Josephine
In Montreal, ana sne oeggea ner menu
to do him the courtesy of securing him
an Invitation to Mme. Lamaureux's.
Josephine had become interested In
the man who had shown himself so
strangely attracted toward her, and
she took the most certain way to se
cure an Introduction.
She explained to the mayor, Hon. Al
fonso des Jardlnes, M. P., whom she
had known all her lifetime, as he was
a personal friend and confidential
banker of her father, that she desired
an Introduction to Lieutenant Concas
as she had a communication for him
from her old friend, Mme. de Poltras.
Aa the program laid down included
the presentation of the party to the
officers of the little ships, the request
was not hard to comply with, though
the mayor wondered somewhat at the
girl's manner of making the request.
The Introduction appeured agreeable
to both, and the meeting was prob
ably on both sides a case of love at
first sight.
The two appeared suited to one an
other, and though the caravels re
mained only two days at Montreal,
the circumstances had been geneially
remarked.
As soon as the caravels hnd re?eived
the deluge of official welcomes at Chi
cago. Concas obtnlned a week's leave
ami came to Montreal, nnd so Inti
mate were the young couple that the
announcement of the engagemar. was
expected hy every one Infimedlitely
after the return of the yiung oSlcer
to his ship.
solntlon as they could In correspond
ence.
After leaving Montreal Concas had
some duty at Washington, and delay
keeping him there, Josephine seized the
opportunity to pay a long-promised
visit to some friends living on Four
teenth street, Northwest. Before sep
arating to proceed respectively north
and south, the pair were married.
Efforts have been made to throw dis
credit upon tho story that there wns a
legal marriage, but the suspicion Is
wholly uncalled for.
The ceremony wns performed by a
priest of the Uomnn Catholic church.
An officer of the Spanish legation and
a French-Canadian physlclnn practic
ing In Baltimore were the witnesses.
It Is explained now that there were
good reasons on Concas' part for keep
ing the marriage secret. Progress In
the diplomatic service in Spain depends
upon lnlleuntlnl political backing. Con-
cas wns being ndvanced lnrgely through
the Inffuence of a man who was nmnl
tlous to give his family something of
a fllip In the social scale by an alliance
between his daughter and Concas. At
the moment of his marriage the young
officer could not Jeopardize hlrf chnnces
of advancement by antagonizing his
Influential patron, so the marriage had
He hoped It would not be for long,
as the successful accomplishment of his
mission to Cuba would place him be
yond the need of assistance outside his
profession. It appears that the Span
ish government had found It almost
Impossible to complete some Important
batteries on the Cuban coast, on ac
count of some difficulty in providing
a revetment suitable for the peculiar
sand and the climate. Concas had
kept his eyes open while In England,
and he offered to do the work If the
materials and workmen required were
placed at his command. He eventu
ally got all he wanted.
ConcuB told his wife, on departure,
that nfter a month's work In Cuba he
felt sure he would be In a position to
claim her openly without fear of the
conseqeunces.
After Josephine returned to Canada
she received several letters from her
husband In Cuba, all complaining bit
terly of the sympathy shown the Cu
ban rebelB by the American people, and
explaining several times that but for
the nsslstance received from the United
States the revolt would easily be
stamped out. At last came a letter
from Concas warnlg Josephine thnt she
could not hear from him for some time,
as he had left for a part of the island
cut off from communication with the
rest of the world.
Then came a period of agonjzlng sus
pense for the unfortunate younk wife.
By this time she realized that she was
about to become a mother, but she
shrank from telling her story to her
father, for he would feel hnrt at her
failure to take him Into her confidence
earlier and she hoped that every day
would bring news of Concas or per
haps word from the husband himself.
Explanations would then be so much
more simple.
Weeks passed but no word of Con
cas came; months slipped by. Fearing
that her secret could be kept no longer,
Josephine made an excuse to go to
New York. Thither was 'summoned
some weeks later the old seigneur of the
Ottawa manolr.
His daughter was In a very critical
state of health, and If he wanted to see
her alive he had better proceed by the
next train. There wns no need to hurry
the old gentleman; he did not hnvo
one wink of sleep between the receipt
of the telegram and his arrival at the
private hospital where his daughter
was a patient.
A great Improvement had taken place
In the condition of the young mother,
for she was a mother now, out for one
moment the venerable seigneur devout
ly wished that he had seen his child
dead before his fuce. There was an
angry scene, but the old man became
somewhat reconciled on hearing his
daughter's story. A couple of months
later M. de Chappelle returned with
Josenhlne to the manolr.
The little child died in New York
immediately before the return of the
old seigneur and his" daughter to the
manolr, and this accounts for the new
made little grave In the De Chappelle
lot In the country cemetery, which set
so many tongues a wagging In the Ot
tawa valley at the time.
Still no word come from Concas. Jo
sephine never doubted his fidelity, but
her father, perhaps naturally, was not
satisfied. If Concas were an honest
man why did he not claim his wife
and set.- her good name right before
the world? So the old gentleman ar
gued. At last news of her missing husband
reached Josephine, and truly dreadful
news It was. It came In a letter from
Mme. de Poltras. of Paris. The offi
cial returns of the operations against
the- Insurgents of Santiago de. Cuba
during the twelve months had Just been
published, and one of the first names
among the killed had been that of Lieu
tenant Concas, of the navy. The re
port explained that the lieutenant and
a number of military officers had lost
their lives in the destruction of a trans,
port train by dynamite.
The official report stated that the
explosives were supplied from the Unit
ed States, and that the laying and firing
of the mines were superintended by
exnert American engineers.
It Is not unnatural for a woman dif
fering In nationality from her husband
to sympathize with his country in an
International dispute or actual war,
even were her own country the other
dispUtnnt; it is little wonder that Jo
sephine's love for Concas and her close
association with the Spanish diplomatic
circle at Washington led her sympathies
to the side of Spain.
Josephine's hatred of Americans be
came Intensely bitter. She was ready
to take official Spanish rejwrts as fact,
and doing so naturally blamed the
president of the United Stutes for her
bereavement.
She said to her father, she repeated
It In acknowledging a kind little letter
of sympathy from the young officer of
the Spanish legation at Washington
who had ncted as witness at her ill
starred marriage.
Meantime sinister reports about the
Internal affairs of the De Chappelle
houaeholn got about. There was abun
dant theme for t-enndal In the llttl"
grave. The strain proved too much for
the proud nnd honorable old seigneur
His brain weakened, and he is now
prncttcnlly a prisoner in his own house.
This wns the position of affairs when
the declaration of war between Spain
niitl the United Stntex put the world on
tiptoe of excltemi'iU. The most press.
Ing tmemdUte need of Sptiln was an In
telligence department In America.
Ther wns not so much as a framswork
to start with, but the staff of the Spau.
Ish legation nt Washington came to
Canada and at once set to work to
bring the spy service Into being.
As soon as the Spaniards renrhed
Montreal Mme. Concas called upon tho
young officer, who hnd been the solitary
witness of her marriage. He Intro
duced her to Lieutenant Cnrrnnzn.
For some time the pride of Josephine
revolted at the suggestion that she
should become a spy, but wily argu
ments nnd her Inlely born hatred of
the American people changed her mind,
and a day or two afterward she left
mysteriously ir the United States,
Just where she operdted is not defi.
nltely known, but It Is believed thnt
she did secret work In Washington and
New York. She has been regarded by
the representatives of the United Stntes
government ns a very dangerous spy,
She Is a brilliant woman, speaks Eng
lish nnd French equally well, nnd with
out the least suspicion of an accent,
and had while laying her plans the
great advantage of a close acquaint
anceship with Inffeuntlal people In some
of the largest cities of the Unltedd
States.
It Is suspected that her special mis
sion on her first trip was to operate
through her friendships with tho
daughters of a cabinet minister, and
of an official of the state department
at Washington, who were her school
mates both nt the Sacred Heart con
vent nnd nt Vassar, to obtain some es
sential Information.
About a week ago, when there were
prospects of Carranza and his associ
ates being expelled from the country,
Josephine suddenly returned to Mont
real, and has been there ever since,
living In a rented fiat near the historic
Spanish headquarters on Tupper street.
She has not been seen with the Span
lards, but doubtless has been In con-,
stant communication with, them In an
Indirect way.
In the event of Du Bosc and Carranza
leaving, Josephine de Chappelle will be
given even more latitude in her oper
ations as u Spanish spy.
Qualities of a Perfect Lover.
In all great matters he will be one
with her; In trifles, If he can not think
as she does, he will agree to differ.
In everything he will respect and
look up to her; she will be to him the
best and dearest woman In thu whole
world.
The Ideal sweetheart will respect his
beloved's moods, and perceive them in
stinctively. If she is silent he will not
talk; should she sparkle with anima
tion he will catch the Infection.
He will be a protector, able to de
fend his lady's cause to the uttermost.
Should any dare to Insult her they
will suffer speedy vengeance; should
they Insult her, they will have to reck
on with him.
He will be no trifling Loveluce, but a
strong man, offering to the woman of
his heart a man's quiet, constant hom
age. Not professing great things, but
doing them. Placing her wishes before
his own, nnd her welfare above all else.
Not neglecting her work to trifle In her
company, or putting her on one side
for the sake of his career or his am
bition. Upon occasion he will be masterful
and make up her mind for her: but as
a general rule he will gladly du her
pleasure. He will not be loo ready to
take "No" for an answer. He will
always ask again, remembering the
story that for the sin of our first par
ent In saying "Yes" when she should
have said "No," we. her daughters, ar
compelled to say "No" when we mean
"Yes."
His sweetheart will feel that he Is re
liable and dependable, a man of deeds
as well as flattering words, and know
that In the hour of trouble or need
she has a strong arm to support her,
and a strong heart ready to comfort
and watch over her. In all her trials
and difficulties she will turn to him
and he will think for her, proving his
love and foietnought in things small
and great.
He will behave with courtliness and
friendship to her friends and relatives;
he will try to look at therri with her
eyes, while to her mother he will show
affection nnd respect, remembering that
It Is to her he owes his dear one, and
that she was once somebody .else's
sweetheart. He may also reflect that
his love will In fulness of time be
somebody's mother-in-law and be len
ient with that much-maligned lady in
consequence. As truly as any knight
of old, he will be his lady's servant.
When his work is done he will be
ready to go anywhere with her,
or do anything for her, from carry
ing a parcel to escorting her to a party
or social function.
He will never worry or scold. If re
proof Is necessary he will be tender
and patient, always making a re
proachful look serve Instead off an
angry word. Outward deference ho
will pay her as a matter of course,
whether they are alone or not. Ho will
adjust her cushion, open the door for
her, take oft his hat as to a stranger,
button, her gloves,, carry her fan and
yield her all those little services that
are so deservedly djar to tho heart
of every true woman. '
He will not be an Idler. He will
have a trade, or business or profes
sion upon which to expend his super
fluous energy, for a lazy man is no
woman's Ideal. In public he will con.
ceal the extent of his affection, and If
he wants to convey It to the loved one
he will do It so delicately that no one
else will notice It a touch of the hand
In passing her anything, a tiny pres
sure as he wraps a cloak around her
shoulders, but nothing more, lest he
rouse the ready smile that comes to
the faces of those who watch covertly
for signs of "softness" In the unfortu
nate couple. Jealousy will be far
from him his trust will be too entire,
his confidence In himself too great
for such a confession of weakness, dis
trust and Inferiority to be possible.
The Ideal lover will admire his sweet
heart's clothes. He will not be one of
those men who do not know one color
from another, and i;an not distinguish
between a toque and a hat. He will
notice everything she has on. and ex
press his opinion very diffidently If
It be unfavorable, but he will express
It nevertheless, for only by so doing
can his sweetheart learn how best to
please him. He will not be of a pain
fully punctual turn of mind, and min
ute the time It takes to put on a hat
and Jacket. If he hus to wait a few
minutes for her he will do It patlentt
and as a matter of course. Being ideal,
not real, he will sometimes accompany
her on a shopping expedition and give
his verdict upon the color of her spring
dress or the shape of a new hat.
"There Is something I have noticed
about eyes, though I am not an ocu
list, that probably few people know,"
snld Dr. Theodore Hg of St. Iuls.
"You have often seen a large, hand.
S'ime eye. and no doubt admired it. but
there Is this disadvantage. A large
eye Is much more susceptlblp to th
strain of use, and cannot stand half
the wear and tear that a small eye can.
There Is a compensation, however; the

KIPLINQ'S ADVICE TO BOYS.
Two EnRllsh schoolboys who run a
school newspaper have drawn a let
ter from Hudyard Kipling, which the
London Mfll! reprints;
"Cape Tiiwn, Easter Monday, 1838.
To the Editors of the School Budget;
Gentlemen I am In receipt of your let
ter of no date, together with a copy of
the School Budget, February 14, and
you seem to be In possession of all the
cheek that Is in the least likely to do
you any goad In thln-.wirld.or the rjext.
And, furthermore, you have omitted to
specify where your Journal Is printed,
and In what county of England Hors
monden Is situated.
"But, on the other hand, and not
withstanding, I very much approve of
your hints on 'Schoolboy EtlQuette,'
and have taken the liberty of sending
you a few more, as following:
"1. If you have any doubts about a
quantity, cough. In three cases out
of five this will save your being asked
to 'Bay It again.'
"2. The two most useful boys In a
form are (a) the master's favorite pro
tern, (b) his pet aversion. With a little
Judicious management (a) can keep him
talking through the first half of the
construe and (b) can take up the run
ning for the rest of the time. N. B. A
syndicate should arrange to do (b's)
Imposts In return for this, service.
"3. A confirmed guesser Is worth his
weight In gold on a Monday morning.
"4. Never shirk a master out of
bounds. Pass him with an abstracted
eye and at the dame time pull out a
letter and study It earnestly. He may
think it Is a commission for some onj.
else.
"5. When pursued by the native far
mer alwayB take to the nearest plow
ed land. Men stick In furrows that
boys can run over,
"6. If It Is necessary to take other
people's apples do it on a Sunday. You
can then put them inside your topper,
which Is better than trying to put them
Into a tight 'Eton '
"You will find this advice worth
enormous sums of money, but I shall
be obliged with a check or postal order
for 6d at your earliest convenience.
If the contribution should be found to
fill more than one page. Faithfully
yours, RTJDYAnD KlPLINQr."
A clergyman who made a study of
antiquities was riding on the outside
of a coach In the west of England,
when the driver said to him:
, "I've had a coin glv' to ipe today 200
years old. Did you ever see a coin
200 years old?"
"Oh, yes; I have one myself 2,000
years old."
"Ah!" said the driver, "have ye7"
and spoke no more during the rest of
the Journey.
When the coach arrived at Its desti
nation the driver turned to the cler
gyman vuTi an Intensely self-satisfied
air and said:
"I told ye a we druv along that I
had a coin 200 years old."
"Yes."
"And you said to me aa you had one
2,000 years old."
"Yes; so I have."
"That's not true."
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? Why, It's only
189S now." Tit-Bits.
