barrassment. They were accustomed
to see each other at distance, by
stealth; to speak from a first floor
window down to the street, in the
darkness, Disgusting or smothering
their voices: they found themselves
quite different, perhaps little ridicu-
lous; they had no subjects Of conver-
sation, they were often silent, hasten
ing their thoughts the hour when they
should quit each other. There were no
more imprecations and tears to be
mingled with the ink; they no longer
wrote to each other. Everything was
free. smooth, easy for their affection;
they were not obliged to think Of sub
tletfes by which to evade the vigilance
Of their elders; they took no more
pleasure in murmuring few words
In secret; they made no more daring
projects for the future. They would be
married prosaically, without obsta-
cles. like so many other silly couples.
The townsfolk no longer took'thought
of them; the wonder and the comments
on the marriage once over, Carlo and
Maria no longer awoke attention; were
no longer talked about; their be-
havior was noted no more; they ceased
to be pointed out as an example OF
fidelity. Now all eyes were fixed upon
the wife of the pretor, who was ac-
cused of too great partiality for the
vioeattorney-a serious piece of busi-
ness.
The two lovers felt. themselves for
saken; a great GOODNESS arose between
them. Carlo found that the virtues of
his fiancee, those virtues which shone
in her letters, were dimmed by the
thought that Carlo was rather COM
monplace In his tastes, and that to
end, with a stupid marriage so tenn
pestuous a love was unworthy Of a
reader of Mastriani. A few lively re-
marks passed between them In re-
gard to illusions contradicted by the
reality" about "mirages," optical de-
lusions," and similar pin-pricks; a
quarrel ensued, then two, then they
became daily occurrence. One even
ing Maria said with an irritated tone:
Carlo, let us leave 1t off"
LET u.s." he replied without hesita-
tion.
And the next day he set off on a
journey for the improvement Of his
mind; Maria went to Naples, to the
house of cousin, to fish for heroic
husband. The families had new fall
ing out; Maria's father had an open
ing made for window which over
looked his neighbor's courtyard; the
latter, in order to annoy him, built a
dove-cote of which the doves ran about
everywhere; Immediately there was a
summons, a second, third the law
suits began again, and this time, the
advocates said, smiling, without hope
of any compromise.-Matilde Seras:

COAL DEALERS
ARE BLAMED
COMMERCIAL CLUB AT GLEN
BURN ISSUES A STATEMENT.
1t Charges That the Fuel Shortage in
the State Was Wholly Due to Deal
ers Who Desired to Take Advantage
of the Low Freight Rates.


Glenburn, N. D., Feb. 16.-Having
come safely Through the period of APP
prehension regarding a shortage Of
fuel, the commercial club of Glenburn,
N d., has analysed the situation and
has issued formal statement to the
press, placing the blame for the pros
pective shortage upon the fuel dealers
themselves. The statement charges
that the dealers delayed ordering coal
till so late that there was serious con-
gestion and that they did this so as
TO get the benefit of the reduced rail-
road rate on coal which became eff
fectiye early in the winter. 1t Is also
charged that the dealers misrepre-
scented the number of orders already
placed when the prospect of a short
age first became apparent, inasmuch
as these supposedly belated cars have
never arrived. although cars ordered
since complaint was made have come
through.
Incidentally the statement gives a
long credit mark to the Great North
ern for. heroic efforts to co-operate
with citizens in hurrying in fuel before
the prospective shortage became real,
In this connection a contrast is drawn
between the Great Northern and the
other line which serves that part OF
North Dakota.

Bismarck, n. D.. Feb. 16.-The house

ed an agreement on the Anderson plan
for the reapportionment of the state

The reapportionment of the state to
the disadvantage of the eastern part
of the state has long been threatened

Anderson plan, the threat appears to
be in fair way of being carried out.

Which He Drafted.


In speaking of the bill today, Presi-
dent Worst stated that he was not its
author. but that he had merely drafted
it at the request of Mr.. .Sayre, and
that he did not believe it could be
enacted into a law.
Anything that would tend to cause
farmers to take proper care of their
land. to conserve it's fertility and to
diversity, would be a good thing" said
President Worst today in discussing
the matter, "but do not believe it Is
possible to pass law which shall
compel man to cultivate his farm
a certain way.
"Mr. Sayre wrote to me regarding
the measure, and asked me to render
him assistance by putting the bill into
proper form. did draw up the bill
for him, and that was all had to dc
with the matter.
1T was Mr.. Sayre's intention tc
bring the matter to the attention OF
the legislatures of all the states and
have them pass uniform laws regard
ing it. He sent copy Of the bill to
Governor Burke and requested his
opinion regarding it. Governor Burke
consulted with the attorney general
and came to the conclusion that the
bill was unconstitutional, and he 50
