Wreck On a Debating Society
“Is America right in going to
war with Spam?” was the ques
tion he’fore a rural debating soci
ety recently. It was a remarka
ble debate. Those who took the
side of Spain soon retired from
the hall and inquired the way to
the hospital. The Coroner trav
eled five miles to attend the meet
ing, and being tired out when he
arrived, he sat on several of the
Spanish partisans for three hours.

Oran** Woman's Club.
The Woman’s club of Orange, N. J.,
held a most interesting session on March
24, when its annual election occurred.
This marked the quarter century of the
club’s existence. It is one of the oldest
clubs for women in the country. There
were but four others in existence at the
time of its founding. It organised with
15 members; now it has a membership
of 800 and a long waiting list The club
has become a department club, and the
recording secretary, Mrs. Stanley, read
a brief review of the year’s work, which
was followed by reports from the chair
men of each department Each depart
ment in turn furnishes the club pro
gramme for general meetings. The de
partment of education furnished a pro
gramme upon coeducation, also one up
on the education of the Indians.
The election of officers for'the coming
year gave the presidency to Mrs. Cush
man, who has filled the place in a most
able manner during the last year. The
other officers were re-elected with the
exception of Mrs. Stanley, who was not
eligible for recording secretary, having
held the place for the limit allowed by
the dub.

HER PROTEGE.
“No; I am not in ti:o very loa.-t in love
With you, but I am in love with your
love of me!”
I “Don’t, yon understand?” he went on
gloomily. “What is merely an agreeable
companionship to you m- ans very life to
me. You possess every moment of my ex-
. Istence”—
j “And you mean,” she interrupted, with
ft cruel little laugh, “that if I were to ac
cept you, and the uncertainty were over,
you would be rid of the thought of me!”
“Clare!”
“By the bye, I haven’t seen you in the
row for the last—I don’t know how long.”
“No; I found it too expensive.”
“Poor !>oy! I feel inclined sometimes
to marry you for the sake of your poverty.
My money wedded to your genius”—
“Would make a nice scandal for the
busy bodies. It is your wealth, Clare, that
reconciles me to your coldness at times.
Oh, my dear, I wish you were penniless,
and I had the right to earn fur you.”
“Now you are beginniug again,” she
frowned, “and it is all nonsense. I
shouldn’t be in love with even love in a
cottage, I assure you
At the foot of the stairs he ran against
Sir John Darton.
“Ah, Stoekdale!” the baronet cried,
with assumed cordiality. “Been to seo
Clare? Is she in? And how goes the pic
ture?”
“Oh, I suppose itwill be ready,” Stock-
dale answered.
“Hope it will be hung on the lino—dc
serves to be, I’m sure!”
“You are very kind.”
The baronet shook hands with a little
patronizing nod, and the footman closed
the door upon the artist.
Clare Dart on would never marry him.
And what presumption ever to luvve aspired
to her! What was he but a poor, unknown
artist, to whom the most beautiful, ac
complished and wealthy heiress had been
kind during an intoxicating season in
Italy, where, with the usual urmemen-
tionality of English folk abroad, they bad
formed an intimate acquaintance ir-M she
had given him a frank friendship in r* -
turn for this burning admiration that
grew to a consuming passion?
Yes, that was all, and yet not quite all.
Sho believed in his art. She hi : called
him a genius, and she was not mocking
when she said it.
He found his boxing friend had not
turned up, and he took his studio key
from the wall where iFhung and went in.
The canvas before him represented the
Greek muse Erato crowned with roses and
myrtle and holding a lyre in her hand.
The subject had occurred to him one day
in Italy when he was standing with Clare
on a Cower terrace at sunset. In his pic
ture he had represented the very scene—
her attitude, the surrounding beauties of
warm southern coloring, and he had
caught the inspiration on her lovely face,
though he had not dared to portray her ex
actly.
In the meantime Sir John Darton bad
reached his niece's drawing room with a
oloud of annoyance on his face.
“So you have had your protege here
again, Clare?” ho began, refusing her offer
to ring for fresh tea.
“Yes,” she said carelessly. “That has
been my one excitement. How did you
get on with my lawyers?”
“Matters are as bad as they can be. I
shall go on fighting the case of course.”
“Oh,” she interrupted, “why do you
bother so much, uncle? I am very grate
ful, but I can but marry if the worst comes
to the worst. ”
“My dear, your future depends on your
marriage. If you marry with my full
sanction I leave all my property to you,
and your father’s estate can go to the vul-
tu res tomorrow. ’ ’
“And what is your sanction?” she
smiled.
“Surely, Clare, your woman’s quickness
has grasped why I encourage Lord Arthur
Bradley so constantly?”
“Lord Arthur Bradley? The little lame
mqn with the squint?”
The case was this: A few months ago
her father- had died in Italy, and by some
blunder of a lawyer’s copyist her name in
the will was omitted, so that the prop
erty could he and was claimed by some
elder children, her stepsisters, who had
treated their father abominably.
Mark Stcckdalo had a great name to
make, and she, who gloried in his gifts as
much as she loved him, was not the ono to
mar his future. She let him think her
rich, luxurious and heartless rather than
tell him the truth, to be conquered by hia
passionate love.
Well, the night of the academy soirea
came at last, and Clare Darton and Sir
John made their way up the wide staircase,
to greet the president standing at the top.
“I think we have done well this year,”
he said to Sir John. “Don’t forget to no
tice an Erato by Mark Stoekdale. It is the
best thing hung—absolutely the best thing.
We shall have to elect him. Paris must
not snatch all our young geniuses, and 1
bear he is equally well represented in the
salon.’”
A crowd was thronging the pieture whta
they reached it, and Sir Jobn^ stopped to
speak to several friends. Clare? found a
seat a little apart and sat down to watch
her opportunity of getting near the picture.
It was not long before the artist discover
ed her.
“At last!” he whispered. “I have been
hunting for you the whole evening.”
“We have only just come,” she said.
“Have you no congratulations for me,
Clare?”
“Why should you care for them?” she
smiled. “You have the president and the
whole academy at your feet. What can it
matter what a simple friend thinks?”
“It matters the whole world to me.”
“Then I am glad, Mark; very, very
glad.”
“You are so good to me tonight,” be
said softly; - “My cup seems almost too
full, Clare. ”
“Then we will dash it from your lips,”
she laughed.
“No,” he said; “this band shall not be
rnthless tonight”—and she let him take it
unhesitatingly in his—“whatever the mar
row may bring.”
“ The morrow? Shall I tell you what it
will bring?”
“Yes,” he answered, taking possession
of the other hand. “I can bear anything
in this moment. ”
“Then, Mark, listen. Tomorrow your
Erato will don her Cinderella garments
•nd weep for the glass slipper. Muff ami,
I heard today I have not a penny in the
world! I have foreseen it for months, but
I wouldn’t tell you before. Now - you are
famous I have nothing to fear. My—my
love can’t harm you now.”—London New*
