Carl. Bauer watched the papers
daily to see when the Kaiser Will

even the name of the ship in type
caused his heart to beat harder,
and strange feeling. between
pleasure and pain, to come into it.
For on the Kaiser Wilhelm was
Greta Wendolin, pretty, ravishing,
big eyed, flaxen haired Greta,
whom he had known in the village
in Germany, whom he had loved in
all the fullness of his big heart and
to whom he had not dared tell his
love because of timidity.
And now she was coming over
to marry Fritz Laustein. A wave
of impotent fury swept over him
as he thought of it. Fritz owned a
delicatessen store. He was many
years older than Greta. But when
he had written few months be-
fore offering to pay Greta's pass
age If she. would marry him the
proposition was received with joy
by the parents of Greta, who. con-
sidered this a fine match for one of
their many daughters.
The vessel was to arrive on Sun
day. Carl arose that morning with
a heavy heart. He dressed himself
carefully, for he was determined to
go to the dock. He could stand
out of sight and see Greta as she
came down the gangway. This at
least could not be denied him.
When he arrived there the sight
of the portly Laustein in all the
glory of his Sunday apparel caused
him to almost lose control of him
self. To think that this fellow was
to marry Greta, Greta, of whom he
had never ceased to think, whom
he worshipped at sacredly secret
shrine in his heart, Greta for whom
only he had accumulated that little
hoard in the savings bank-oh, it
was too much to believe!
The ship steamed up the river
opposite the dock. Tugs took hold
of her and puffed and pushed and
pulled until she was alongside.
Then cables and donkey engines
got busy and finally the big hulk
doomed high close at hand. The
passengers streamed out.
Carl was surprised to see Lau-
stein take up position at the
steerage gangway. SO he had COM
PEELED his bride to come that way?
Laustein was well known for his
stinginess.
Suddenly Carls heart Threatened
to choke him. Greta was coming.
She seemed weary. At the end of
the gangway she looked around be-

and made uncertainty toward him.

FOrceful Speech to Credit

Reports showing that the adjustment

The speech of last night was made
by Theodore S. Fettinger, advertising
manager for Hahne & Co. He said:
1.-THE newspaper is beyond question
the best of all advertising mediums,
and beyond the mere fact hat it ia
cilitates the dissemination of informa-
ton to the public, at the least possible
cost. in the speediest manner, there are
other and splendid reasons why the
newspaper should be used as the We
hicle through which to reach the peo-
pie. Perhaps the most cogent reasons
why h newspaper should be patron
lied above all other mediums is the
fact that the press Is so helpful in the
upbuilding of the city, in the furthering
of its enterprises, and because the city
is so apt to be judged by its news
papers. and it's business men by the
advertising that appears in the news
papers. We should not count merely
the earnings that come direct from our
advertising investments, but the asset
constantly being created for every bust
ness institution and every property
holder in the city through the news
papers activities. Every dollar put into
newspaper advertising strengthens the
newspapers and enables the publishers
to give to the people, practically with
out cost to the readers, the wonderful
purveyors of news and molders of pub
lie opinion for which this country is
famous"
