Aside from my desire for Leonie or
news concerning her, my year with my
foster father was a pleasant one. His
library was full of books, his mind a
storehouse of ideas concerning travel,
history and romance. He gave me my
mornings for writing and | wrote
much, glad that out in the world Lee
onie was reading and waiting.
The request he had asked might have
been whim, but he gave, leaving Lee
onie out of the question. much more
than he could have received. The year
was nearing its close when he spoke to
me of my future.
"You have no idea of what these
months have been to me. Arthur" he
said as we were walking one evening
by the lake in his meadow
and they have been much to me.

Once there was an orphan boy who
was adopted by Il man and brought
up as his own son. The boy had been

other things-love and sympathy, en-

kind old hand on the boys shoulder
and said, Never mind that now, but
some time when l make request of
you you will grant it. And of course
the boy thought then, and said so, that
any request would be small in compar-
ison with what the man had done for
him.
In few years the young man had
become reasonably successful. In the
many times he saw his foster father
the request was not mentioned, but
the boy had not forgotten. Then one
day he met you, and you know what
that meant to him. You must know,

whispered, coloring.

Then Leonie sighed and turned her
face to me and laid her slim hand on
my sleeve.
"The future is not ours" she answer

FORT WILL STAND BY GUNS
Governor of New Jersey Says He Has
the Legislature Back
ta of Him.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 2.--The ex-
traordinary situation that has developed as
a result of Governor Forts proclamation,
the state militia to enforce the Sunday
liquor laws here, and the action of the
Atlantic county grand jury in deliberately
ignoring the instructions of the court by
refusing to return indictments against per-
sons accused of violating the excise laws
continued to be almost the sole topic OF
conversation today.
That Governor Fort will be compelled to
call out the state troops is hardly proba-
BILE, since the summer season is nearing
an end and 1t is more than likely that at
least the larger and more prominent places
will refuse to sell liquor on the coming
Sabbath rather than face a chance of losing
a license Nobody denies that liquor is sold
on Sunday. That there is much politics
in the whole situation is apparent to every
body familiar with conditions In the state,
and particularly in Atlantic county, and de-
velopments will be awaited with intense
interest.
SEA GIRT. N. j., Aug 2s.-It is fully be-
lieved here that on next Sunday Atlantic
City will continue its defiance of the gov
ernor and will be wide open" as in the
past. Advices have reached the governor
that such would be the case, and there
can be no doubt that the call for a special
session of the legislature will follow. II
issued the call will probably appear on
Tuesday.

night. The warships were in column forma-

The visit of the American fleet to the
capital of the Australian commonwealth
promises to be the most memorable mill
tarv event in the history OF Australia. The
welcome to the American officers ard men
by the people of Australia, which began
at Auckland ard which Sydney continued,
will reach its climax here.
The federal, state and municipal authori-
ties have been busily planning to receive
the fleet for about two months. Many
committee meetings have been held to ar
range the details of the reception. Private
organizations are also eagerly cooperating
with the authorities to give the Americans
a cordial welcome The Salvation Army
has chartered a steamer and. accompanied
