AMY'S PROPHECY

Even the gypsy camp, with its bevy
of fortune tellers, was relegated to
the rear when Col. Kirkhsm entered.
Youngsters, who had heard of the
coloneI's mighty exploits in the Phil
ippines, gathered to stare artlessly at
the hero, whom Auburndsle claimed
as its own, and the girls swarmed
about him, glad that chance provided
an opportunity of speaking to the
man who had done things.
Back in the knitted goods booth
Miss Martha NelIis shrunk into the
shadow, and tears filled her eyes.
The sight of the colonel's hair touch
ed with gray reminded her that she,
too, was growing old.
His hair had been black that night
when she had refused him, and he
had gone off to join his company, de-
claring that he would never return to
Auburndale.
Ever since she had heard that he
was coming her heart had been in a
futter, though outwaIdly she was as
calm and placid as ever.
The years had touched her lightly.
Her hair was still brown and thick,
and scarce line marked her sfaee
but she shrank from the thought that
she was 37-far beyond the age OF
romance.
She looked now with tear-dimmed
eyes to where the colonel was laugh
ing off a far more persistent attack
than any he had experienced in the
island possessions. With the skill of
an old campaigner he fought most OF
them off, but EAmy Knight would not
be dismissed.
"But just think" she pleaded.

II don't see how you can do 1t for
the price," he declared. "Do you

"Only with this one-the last one
Left" she countered. ''I'll get the
ring and show you.'
She darted off to the booth where
the prizes were displayed, and came
hurrying back with the little plush
covered box.
"But this is a lady's ring" pro-
tested the colonel in mock dismay.
"What use will have for that?"
"You can never tell when it will
come in handy" she declared. ora

She held out the chance invitingly,
and the colonel good naturally, pass

"No change" she remarked, "but
| its cheap at that price. I'm the Esev-
enth daughter of a seventh daughter,
and know"
The colonel slipped the numbered
card into his pocket and passed
on down the attractive line of booths.
If he fingered longest at the knitting
booth, no one noticed it, except the
sharp-eyed Amy.
81 think It's shame" she contided
to Frank Ford. 1.-The colonel doesn't
know that Miss Martha refused him
because She Thought her sister loved
him. She was always giving up to that
girl, and it broke her heart when Kate
NelIis ran off with that music teacher.

limited. ''He would have to give it to

"Uh, huh," assented Frank Ford,
enthusiastically. ''And then again,

Insisted. "You will draw the prizes.
II the colonel gets the ring"
She did not need to complete the
sentence. A glance at her own slen-
der hand devoid of Jewels, was signifi-
cant, and it happened that when the
drawing took place it was the colonel's
number that was drawn from the box.

cried Amy, delightedly, and gave him
the box.
$50 far the prophecy is fulfilled, "
he said with bow. "But the rest"
"That, also," said Amy positively.
"Surely the brave deserve the fair. -
"Neatly turned,'' he laughed ap-
preeiatively.
Amy saw him turn toward the knit
ing booth, and in her joy allowed
Ford to squeeze her hand In an out
rageously public manner.
The knitting booth was in one cor
ner, and that farthest from the plat
form where the drawings we're being
held. The crowd had gathered to
watch the drawing, and Miss Martha
sat alone in the booth.

in her eyes.

"and younger, but want you. dear.

timer"
"No, DEAR" she said softly.
"Let's get out of this" said the
colonel impetuousIy. ''Send for some
one else to be storekeeper.
'Don't you want to go over and
watch the drawings?" suggested Amy
coming up at that moment. ~ will

Miss Martha smiled gratefully at
the girl as she slipped out. The
colonel put forehnger under the
dimpled chin.

ingly, "but hope here is some one
to make you as happy as you have

And Amy glancing across the hall
to where Ford was completing his
Iabors, answered saucily:

unless you can wish good luck on

BARGEBFOUND; MEN MISSING
Naval Lighter Picked Up by Steamer
After Drifting a Week.
Nine Seamen Probably Taken OF by
SchOOner-smaH Boats All on
Board Big Scoyv.

The Navy Department has thus far
been unable to learn the fate of the
nine men who were aboard Barge No.
1 when she broke loose from the col
lier Caesar on April 1, of the Florida
coast while being towed from Key
West to Norfolk.
After drifting about in the open sea
for nearly week. the barge was
picked up late Saturday afternoon six
teen miles off Cape Canavarel by the
steamer Nordkyn. but the report Of the
master of the collier contained no men
ton Of the whereabouts of the men.
An inquiry directed to him from the
department elected the reply that the
men were not on the barge when she
was found. He adds, however. that it
is reported Gin Mayport, where the col
lter Caesar. now is, that a four-masted
schooner was alongside the barge just
before she was picked up
He says that the master Of the Nord-
kyn reported that a clock on the barge
was running at the time she was
reached. which leads to the belief that
the men must have been picked up by
a passing ship only short time before
the Nordkyn took the barge in tow. All
the barges boats were on board
but her starboard anchor was missing
The missing seamen aboard the
barge are William Martin. Emil NOet-
hen. Henry Hisler. Ferdinand Hall
Thomas Flynn, Edward Aben, Henry
August Doehne, Isidor Nordstrom. and
Andrew J. Franey.
Although the barge broke away from
the collier during a heavy storm and
drifted for six days, she was found
within thirty three miles of the place
where she was lost.

VIRGIL PUTS VAIL IN VERSE
Polling Lives Up to Front Name
While Condemning Wood Yard.
Sends Complaint in Poetry TO Com
nissiOners, Who Pass 1t
Up to Ashford.

In poetry, the language of the sou"
doth Virgil Polling. Of 10l6 Sixth street
northwest. line I'd to his front name. He
submits to the Commissioners his plain
tive cry in verse concerning the opera
tons Of a wood yard at 609 New York ave
nue.. With a depth Of feeling inspired by
his sunerings. he has woven into his SON
net an appeal which brought 10 the eyes
of the hardened officials tears Of sympa-
thy and understanding. Mr.. Polling hav-
ing neglected 10 copyright mis- valuable ad-
are here presented:
Dear Commissioners Of D. c.
Ny cTy is not isHcied but real
For the noise and my nerves do not agree.
So % you l must appeal.
It's not the poor dogs. for they don't howl.
And the cats behave real good.
Nor is It the morning crow Of the fowl,
But its the saving Of the wood
Buzzing and whizzing around the saw goes.
Though the wood and knots a-splitting,
And the effect upon the nerves as every one knows
Is the same, whether lying sitting.
Following the pathos OF this verse. with
a charming directness and yet an implied
hesitancy. is made the appeal:
I dislike 50 much 70 complain and Jaw.
But how ! help it. ! pray.
When the awful buzz and whiz Of the saw
Grnds on my nerves al day!
None can know save those with wrecked nerves
How hard the strain is 30 bear
But knowing it's your pleasure to serye,
Ny comfort l trust 70 your care.
Touched by this expression OF conf
dence, the Commissioners referred the
poem to Building Inspector Ashford, but
that Official eugrOssed by the dun rou-
tine OF his Office, pauses only long enough
10 state that 10 obtain a rest for his shat
tered nerves Mr.. Polling must appeal to
the courts, the wood yard in question be-
ing conducted within the regulations.
Here. for the moment. the matter rests.
Walter z. Allen, of 1874 B street south
east puts his complaint against what he
terms the whistle nuisance into plain,
everyday protesting prose.
Each night, from 10 O'Clock on" writes
Mr. Allen, we are treated TO a conrinu~
Gus performance OF freight trains passing
through Virginia avenue blowing their
whistles in long. shrill blasts. on either
side of the navy yard tunnel. As these
blasts awaken a large part OF the inhabit-
ants within a radius Of half a mile, eSpe-
cially sleeping infants, 1t is not fair. to my
mind, TO permit the continuance of the
nuisance"
The Commissioners are assured by the
railroad authorities that the blowing CT
whistles will be restricted as much as pos
stble consistent with safety.
