in song and story that can never be
usurped by any other river.
From lovely Lake Constance to the
rapids of Schaffhausen, from the
Rheinfall at Neuhausen on through
the wild ravines of the Schwanz-
valid, the famous slopes of the VIE
seminal and Lell. through the fertile
valleys and narrow chasms and cat

every mile of this wonderful river
is rich in historic interest and folk
lore.
Centuries ago many of the Rhenish
castles were occupied by bands OF
lawless knights called Raubritter, or
robber knights, who levied blackmail
on boats going up ana down the river,
abducted beautiful maidens and de-
spoiled not only every one who came
tutlI way, uul OuC dhOIhSi 40 "SAA, -
possible.
So dissOlute and bold had they be-
come that, at the end OF the 18th
century the Diet of the empire con-
demned their castles to destruction.
The knights themselves were too
much taken up with their own quar-
rels and jealousies to hold together
and protect their fortresses, so most
of the castles were stormed and laid
in ruins by the forces of the League
and of the Rhine.
But the Raubritter have left behind
them legacy of legends that makes
of the river a rich fund for literature.
Among the most charming of these
that cluster around every town. cas-
tie and ruin, is the legend of the
Mouse tower, a picturesque tower
standing on an island in the Rhine
just before the landing at the city
of Bingen.

Among the most attractive Of the
ruins of old-time castles that still en-.

the castles of Drachenberg and
Lahneck, which also have their
legends an dtraditions Of interest
There is a familiar legend of the
Foot on the WALL" connected with
the castle of Stanfenburg. which was
founded in the 18th century by Ohio
of Hohenstaufen, bishop of Strasburg.
There is that of Genovefa. connected
with the Frauenkirche, near Laach,
which is said to have been
founded by Genovefa. the beautiful
wife of Palatinate Count Siegfried.
Another still is that of the castle Of
Lorche. near Assmanhausen, which
dates back to the time of the cru
sades, for Gilgen, who lived in the
castle, had fought with Bromser OF
Rudesheim in the Holy Land.
There is also the beautiful legend
of st. Gertrude, who built the con.

life to charity and delivered. the soul

don you think it would relieve your
feelings a little?"
Dolores gasped. It was not often
that she had lost her equilibrium, but
the pie she was holding trembled vio-
lently, and to save it she set 1t down
heavily upon the table. She turned
red and white, then red again. She
took the pie in trembling hands and
carried it to the oven.
HE was a fine fellow" continued
the doctor, apparently unnoticing. Il
knew him in some ways better than
you did, Dolores. l remember him
when he first came here when | was
a little fellow. Then he taught me
all the Latin and Greek know. He
was a good instructor. He would
rather read Latin and Greek than eat
his dinner. Made you feel something
the same way. Why, l could read
Horace by the hour with that big
fellow sitting in the chair before me.
Then that nice little house Of his
in the professors colony on the col
lege grounds! We fellows used to
go over and see him sometimes. That
was before I lost my college leading
strings and could look upon a profess
sor as an ordinary man. We used
to smoke pipes with him. The
whole house was saturated with pipe
smoke. You would have made short
work of those pipes, Dolores"
1t looked as if Dolores would make
short work of the pies. Her fingers
had suddenly become thumbs. She
overturned things needlessly, her
face was very red, and there were
tears in her eyes which might have
been tears of grief; they looked more
like those of anger.
1T must be hard for you to pass the
little house, Dolores" continued the
doctor, land think that if things had
not been as they were you would be
living there now, perfectly happy,
with perhaps little MARY"
"Dick!" Dolores eyes were blazing
now, but the light went out, leaving
an expression of hurt and wounded
delicacy upon her face. She had
grown very white now, and she sat
down trembling.
You won't mind telling about him
after little" said the doctor encour-
agingly, land it will really be re-
lief to your feelings, you will find. 1t
would be comfort to you to talk to
some one who knew him well. There
is great deal in the familiar name
Of any one you love. His was good

Dolores Secret Sorros,

II there was one thing more incon-
gruous about Dolores Drummond
than her name it was the generally
accepted feeling among her friends
that her life was blighted by secret
sorrow.
Her name was certainly a mis-
homer. 1t was always a mystery to
the uninitiated that Mrs. Drummond,
wholesome, handsome, sensible and
cheerful, should have chosen Dolores
as a fit name to be given to her pretty
little blonde daugher. But christened
with 1t she was. a tiny, red-faced NOR
sci, with no pronounced Characters
tics. But in a few months she had
developed into the daughter she might
have been expected to be. II that
mother ever regretted the dolorous
name selected for her child, she
would have been the last one to say
SO. And II, again, with her daughter
grown to /. womanhood, she had a
slightly superstitious feeling that the
name had something to do with the
troubles which came to her still
she said not word.
Strangers looked a second time at
Dolores for pure pleasure. 1t was
not that she was beauty, but she
was so wholesome and healttall, and,
to all appearances, so perfectly happy
and contented with life that it was
restful to see her. And why of all peo-
pie she should have been chosen as
the victim of a secret sorrow it was
hard to tell.
It came about in this way. AS
Dolores grew to womanhood lovers
came to her as they will to every at
tractive girl. Not so many as to some.
perhaps, for she was what her friends
called "a marrying girl" While she
was a general favorite there was
never a long line of admirers follow
ing in her wake, but the few who
were devoted to her loved her with
serious purpose. One of these was
Jabez Marx. professor of Latin and
Greek in the college of the town.
There were other younger men
who found Dolores fair to gaze upon,
and while Marx was more frequently
at the house, Dolores was more often
with the others. Among these was
young DR.. "Dick" Richmond, who
lived next door to the Drummonds
and whom Dolores had known all her
life.
! Matters were in this state when,
one day, while Dolores was away
from home on a visit, Marx, who was
of apoplectic build, died suddenly.
Dolores came home for the funeral,
wept bitter tears of regret at her
treatment of this lost friend, and then
and there, II was said, made vows of
eternal maidenhood. 1t was a great
surprise to every one. If she had
loved Jabez Marx she had concealed
It well; but then. who can read the
heart Of a girl?
No one ever advised Dolores when
It was known that her mind was
made up. Still it was shame, and
young DIR. "Dick" said something of
the kind one warm February morn
ing as he jumped the fence and saun-
tered into the Isummonds' yard. The

Him in Painful Position.
A Western senator brought to the
capitol yesterday good story about
Minister Bowen, which the minister
himself recently told at dinner.
Il was asked some days after I ar.
rived here in Washington" said Mr..
Bowen, why had stuck so closely
to my rooms at the hotel, and had
not showed myself around town.
"The reply was rather painful
one, but nevertheless fully truthful.
1t was because l hadn't the clothes. "
Thereupon Mr.. Bowen told how he
had been commissioned to hasten
north suddenly and without opportun-
ity to provide himself with the heav-
Ter wearing apparel necessary for
residence in cold climate. AS soon
as he reached town he put local
tailor to work upon an outfit.
The hardship of the situation was
that Mr.. Bowen had ordered some raj
ment from London, and this was COM
ing across the Atlantic in q British
bottom, which was one OF tie very
first ships to be held up by the block
aiding fleet Of the allies. There was
no help for 1t, and Mr.. Bowens Lon
don clothes. such as are necessary
for proper appearance in polite soci-
ETY., are still somewhere in South
America. He had reason, therefore,
for being personally grateful when
the blockade was raised and his
clothes had an opportunity to go for
ward to washington Post.

shrubs and plants has relation to this
foundation. Homelikeness depends

Resolving and mending where the sod
becomes thin. Usually We water our
lawns too much, making the grass
shallow-rooted and causing it to fail
early. Every inducement should be
made for the grass roots to go down.

Yet each to his neighbor a mystery still
Dark Is the night the sill
Each comes alone to the Tavern old.
Some In tatters and some in gold;
Each hence his lonely

Each steps alone the wide Threshold
Outside the night is black and cold
Life greets the guests at the Tavern door:

Death touches his lips the bitter rim
