THE STRANGE MARRIAGE
On Saturday there was an excursion
from Waterbury to New York. Charlie
Book came down with the party. In his
pocket was slender gold band which
he often fingered proudly. for Annie Far
rell had promised to be his wife. He
had arranged everything. His sister and
William Markell were with him to act as
witnesses.

In another coach that Saturday was
Annie Farrell pale and silent. Did she
even then regret her promise? Was she
trying to break the strange spell?
Something told me that morning when

and fragile as aJwi1ds flower She has
the temperament that usually makes an
easy subject for a hypnotist-and she is
only seventeen.
AS a schoolgirl Charlie Book was her
friend and playmate. He was g. hand
some lad, four years her senior. They
were neighbors and visited back and
forth with the freedom OF children.
This was the way things stood until
two years ago-Charlie Book always
dreaming Of the time when he would
claim his little bride, and the giri-sweet-
heart strangely timorous and futtertng
like frightened bird in loves net.
THE COMING OF THE LOVER.
But after she met Clifford Beebe all was
changed. She kept away from Charlie
Book. She soon ceased even to speak to
him. Beebe made no secret of his love
for her. He wooed her persistently, tenn
pestuously. There were family objections
to young Book; there swas family favor
for the newcomer. 8
That Annie liked him, too, there could
be little doubt Shes had cast off the old
glamor, forgotten her childish sweet
heart. Soon it Understood that she
was engaged to Cliff Beebe.

Bishop Coleman was in his usual cordial
and happy humor when 1 called at
Bishopstead and asked him about the inno-
walton. He carefully unfolded the beauti-
full emblem and explained its meaning
and what was hoped to be accomplished
by 1t.
The flag Is made in the form of a square
nine feet and six inches. The bars. thir

If the suggestion Of Bishop Leighton
Coleman. of the Episcopal Diocese of
Delaware, is followed, church flag will
in the future float proudly from every re-
llgious edifice in the country to remind
the people of important festal days and
anniversaries in ecclesiastical history and
stimulate inquiry and study into religious
matters. Nations have their flag revered
by the people, the national emblem floats
from school houses, and why not church

two years ago to Bishop Coleman, and

"a Dash for a Throne" by Arthur w.
Marchmont New Amsterdam Book
company, New York. Hutchinson & Co.,
London. For sale by the St. Paul Book
and Stationery company.
This Is a story OF the romantic school,
which starts from a point Of fact and
drifts rapidly and with considerable &C
ton into the realm Of improbability. The
fact upon which the story hinges occurred
several years ago on the imperial yacht
of the German emperor. The German
prince was struck in the face by a young
lieutenant in the navy. The suicide Of
the rash officer occurred soon after. He
had struck one who could not demand
satisfaction, and the only path open for
the assailant was through the portals of
the tomb.
With this historical fact for a basic
principle, a motif, Mr. Marchmont intro
d{lces ms 'her64in the capacity of a naval
lieutenant who is made to strike the
German PRINCE after having. however,
suffered gross insult at the hands Of
t7eyalty Promptly the following day he
is waited on by grisly old Count Won
1AUgener and quietly informed that sui
eide is the only way out Of the trouble.
This is accepted and the unfortunate
youth seeks the advice of a physician
friend Of his family and coolly reqests to
be supplied with the means of exit from
the world This the physician promises
to procure for him.

"a. week~you- viii be dead"
To the readers mind it will be easily
suggested that work of this descrip
7tion could hardly start off with dead
hero. 1t is, of course, the province of
the kind old physician to save the life of
HIS young friend. There is a well con-
Quoted mock funeral, the news is given
to the press of the death by fever of the
young lieutenant and the affair becomes
for the time being a closed incident. But
what has heretofore appeared improbable
is. as nothing to the wild phantasmagoria
that follows Under the assumed name
OF heinrich Fisher, the hero joins
dramatic company, allows himself to be
fallen in love with by Clara Weylin, one
of the star actresses, but himself looking
higher storms the heart of one OF the
German pFincesses, enacts for a time
the role of prince himself, and finally
marries the young lady, having first taken
the precaution 20 square himself with
his old-time enemy, the prince. AS "a
Dash for a Throne" the book possesses
SO many of the elements Of absurdity as
TO actually fail in sustaining interest.
The unreal is so palpable the characters
so remote from the actualities we meet,
even in the society of the most exalted,
that we find ourselves wondering how a
writer can aspire so high in his attempt
and fall so low in execution 1t is not
that "A Dash for a Throne lacks style
or a fair shake of literary workmanship.
1t is the unreality Of it all that makes
on the reader the impression that he is
oommuning exclusively with the stuff
that dreams are made of.
