Jennett had be qumthed two legacies onlyâ€"one of $5,000 to Frederick Steinler, of De- (mit; the other, consisting of pro- perty valued at $200,000, to her former sweetheart, 'Alonzo See. There is no dispute over the will, and the lucky man, Who is not yet thirty- five years of age, has already come into possession of his fortune. II: {a nnt A! mum-AA. an uncommon The two appear 'to_have had a hapr py life together. which was only broken by the death of Mr. Jennett. u few months ago, in Detroit. On the 27th January last the Widow also expired at the Majestic Hotel, New York, at the age of thirtyâ€"two. Mr. See attended the funeral, and was somewhat surprised when he re- ceived a request to be preSent at the New York, and after passing through the. usual phases of acquaintance, friendship, and love, proposed and was accepted. Everything prosper- ed, and the couple Were beginning to have some doubts about the truth respecting the “course of true love,” when a slight misunderstanding arose, though what about no one but Mr. See now knows, and he, in spite of the attacks of some forty-nine American newspaper reporters, firmly declined to say. Whatever it, was, however, it sufficâ€" ed to separate the two, and the enâ€" gagement was broken off. Friends thought it was merely a lox'ers' quarrel. and that the usual reconcil- iation would take place the following week, but each was too proud to he thought it was merely a. lox’ers' quarrel, and that the usual reconcil- iation would take place the following week, but each was too proud to be the first, to break down the cold barrier of reserve until the return to the former understanding was renâ€" dered impossible by the marriage of Miss Kleine to William F.

Few men have had better cause for belief in the truth of the old proverb, "’Tls better to have loved and lost,” etc.. than Mr. J. 'Alonzo See, a gentleman engaged in the offices of the Yonkers Gas Company. who has just been left by the girl to whom he was formerly engaged the substantial sum of $200,000. There is, moreover, a romance in the story which adds considerably to its interest. "For some years,” says Mrs. Mc- Kerr, "1 was greatly afflicted with the ailments that make the lives of so many of my sex miserable. The suffering I endured can only be unâ€" derstood by thOSe who are similarly afflicted. I tried many medicines but found_ none that, helped me until I began the use of Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills. These have actually made me feel like a. new person, and the sufâ€" fering I had endured almost, contin- uously has passed away, and life is no longer the burden it, once seemed.

In Many Cases They Are Merely] Signs of the Ailments of l Women. | BANISH THE WRINKLES says Mrs. Mc- This lady, Miss Aliceâ€"â€", was in 1902 giving a lesson in intricate embroidery in the house of a fash- ionable society woman, where she met a, wealthy broker, who promptly fell in love with her. In spite of linterferences from his friends and re- lations he made it his business to be- come better acquainted with the modest seamtress, and, finding that she was as good as she was pretty, proposed and was accepted. This gentlenmn held somewhat ec- centric, hut nevertheless excellent ideas on the subject of engagements, and declared that as soon as a. man became engaged he should regard the care of his fiancee and her future as sacred and important as though she were already his wife. In proof of his belief the very week which saw their engagement also witnessed the drawing up of his will, in which, with some trifling exceptions, he left the greater part of his property to the girl who was shortly to become ,his wife. Much of his work called him to Chicago, and on the night of the historic fire he occupied a seat in the circle where so many lives were lost. It is said that he might have escaped had he thought of himself but, like others who retained their presence of mind, he was lost in en- deavoring to save the children. His will was shortly afterwards proved, and the poor girl who once taught neodleWork at so much an hour is now . woman of wealth and posi~ 'tion. _.___...,..â€"_ Many a girl has been left a fortune by the man to whom she was engag- ed, but who had unfortunately died before the weddingâ€"day. A curious case of this kind was brought to light recently through the burning of the Iroquois Theatre in Chicago. It appears that in Plainfields there is now living a young lady who a year ago was earning a modest in- come by teaching embroidery and needlework, but who is now in pos- session of some $25,000 a year and a couple of estates. Her story was well known, and the writer himself heard it from a. resi- dent who was well acquainted with the lady in her youth. More than thirty years ago she had been en- gaged to a doctor, the marriage-day was settled, and even the guests in- vited, when the bride received some news respecting her lover which prompted her to Write and break off the engagement, at the same time absolutely refusing to see him or reâ€" ceive any explanations. Then she retired to a house which she owned in a lonely part; of Somerset, where she lived for twenty-five years with one devoted maidscrvant. To all outward appearances the house was untenanted, but people passing knew that within there was a misanthropic \voman' wasting her days in useless regrets and fast approaching a, soli- tary and unloved old age. FIVE YEARS AGO SHE DIED and while she lay lifeless on the bed the shutters were thrown open», and the sunlight streamed in and shone upon the white face for the first time in fiveâ€"andâ€"twenty years. After the funeral, when the will came to be read, it was found to contain a clause in which she forgave her old sweetheart and left him the. bulk of her property, amounting to many thousands a year, on condition that he lived in the house where her loneâ€" ly life had been spent. The doctor, who had never married and was then a man of about fifty, accepted the legacy and its conditions, and imâ€" mediately afterwards took up his re- sidence in the house where so many precious years of life had been wasted. 'As soon as Hawley heard of this he once more pressed his suit, but was again rejected. He thereupon sold his business and retired to a house in the country, Where he lived a solitary life until the spring of 1901, when he died, leaving his enâ€" tire property to Miss 'Adams, togethâ€" er with a letter in which he stated that even in death he should think of her. Miss Adams, who was then happily married, declined to use the fortune for her own benefit, but de- voted it, to the support of some philanthropical institutions in which she was interested. 0n the outskirts of a, small town in Somersetshire there is a house which in former days attracted con- siderable attention by reason of the [act that night and day, Winter and summer, the shutters were closely barred. No ray of sunlight was ever permitted to enter the rooms, for the occupant was a, disciple of the fictional Miss Havisham and had adopted this curious manner of showing her sorrow for a. lost lover. Miss Adams at the time was, unâ€" fortunately. already engaged. but Hawley, who appears to have held. the old belief that "All’s fair in love and war," begged her to break ofi the engagement and marry him. Miss Adams naturally declined to do this, first because it would have been dishonorable, second because she loved her fiance. and third because she did not care in any way for the impetuous Hawley. She returned to Liverpool after receiving an impas- sioned letter from her would-be lover and. so curiously do things turn out, a few months later her fiance was killed thing for a man who has loved and been rejected to leave his fortune to the woman who has declined his suit. This was the case with Mr. Charles Hawley, an Englishman. who died in 1901, and whose will may be seen in Somerset, House. Mr. Hawlcy was a. wealthy dealer in malt and when a young man of twenty- tive had fallen desperately in love with a young lady from Liverpool, who happened to be visiting some mutual friends.
