WHO Won HIS HEART
Young Society Man of Harris
burg, Pa, a Veteran of the
Philippines, Seeks to Solve
aWar-Time Romance in Truly
Romantic Manner.

In search of girl whose name he
never knew, but whom he desires to
make his wife, Charles Englewood, a
young man of Harrisburg, Pa, arrived
in ST. Paul yesterday and applied for
a position with the street railway COM
pany as conductor, a position he
seeks in the hope that it will aid him
in locating the girl
The story told by Englewood of his
mad 1nfatuation for a girl whose name
he never knew, and in whose company
he spent less than ten minutes during
the only time he ever saw her, is a
strange and romantic one.
In 1898, when the call came for vol
unteers to go to the Philippines, young
EngleWood enlisted in Pennsylvania
company, and, along with other vol
unteers who were lionized so much at
that time, enjoyed the pleasant recep-
tons which were planned for them
along the route they Travelled en- route
to the tropics.
When the Pennsylvania regiment
reached CounciTiBluffs, Iowa, hundreds
of the patriotic people of that city
were al the depot to bid the soldiers
godspeed. A lunch had been prepared
by the women of the city and was
handed out to the soldiers by the pref
ty girls of the town. 1t was In this
manner that Engiewood met the girl
whom he would now like to make his
wife, a girl whose face, according to
his story, has been before him ever
since the day he. met her.

stop in Council Bluffs, and while the
Soldiers We're being served with a
lunch, Englewood was waited upon by
the girl whom he now seeks. He talk
ed with her ten minutes and fell madly
in love with her, and it was only after
the train was speeding westward
across the. prairies of Nebraska that he
realized that he had forgotten to get
her name. All he knew of her was that
she had told him her home was in ST.
Paul, Mimi, and that she was visiting
with a cousin in Council Bluffs.
Realizing how foolish he was to be
in love with girl whose name he did
not know, and one with whom he had
only a very remote chance of ever
meeting again, Englewood says, he
tried to forget her, butit was of no
USE as her face was always before
him, whether in battle, in his cot or
with his comrades.
'I finally decided L could never be
happy unless 1 met the girl again.

his romantic story to number of
street car employees, 80 1 came here
to try and find her. I would recognize
that face, no matter where 1 might see
it, and 1 will never be satisfied until I

Hopes to Collect Her Fare.
1.-THE reason 1 have applied for a
position with the street car company is
because it will bring me in contact
with more people, and 1 am convinced
that if the girl is still in St Paul that
will find her sooner or later if I get
a position as street car conductor.

conductor, but guess will get along

protests of his parents.

is searching is described by him as
