Denver.-In a letter to q friend in

ative-at-large for Colorado. says:
"I have for several months past
been trying to interest the various
cities and towns Of our state in the
work of procuring public parks and
outing places. for picnic and play
grounds for both old and young, and
have written letters to the mayors
and city councils or boards of trus-
tees of our one hundred cities and
towns in Colorado. urging them to Sc
lect a site wherever 1t is possible
upon public lands. of some scenic and
suitable location for that purpose and
send me a description of it. and al.
low me to introduce a bill in Congress
granting 1t to them gratuitously.
Il have already received descrip
tions of the land desired by about fif
teen cities and towns, and have re-
ceived word from a number of others
that they will send the necessary data
as soon as possible. In doing this
am trying to do important work for
especially the youths of this and sue
ceeding generations. and also furnish
an outing place for picnics. Fourth Of
July and other public gatherings"
Mr.. Taylor adds that he expects to
have the West with him on his bill
to grant a million acres of public
lands to Colorado for good roads, but
will have much work to do to over
come the opposition OF eastern men,
bers who, many OF them, are poisoned
with the impression that we are all
stealing the public domain out here.

heart Of Europe rather than making
an appeal to the national pride of
prospective exhibitors. The booklet
draws attention to the illustrious aus
pices under which the exposition Is to
be held and lays stress upon the value
this will have in enhancing American
interests abroad. Prince Henry Of
Prussia, brother of the emperor. is
president of the German reception
committee. while in this country J.
Pierpont Morgan is president of the
committees which are directing the
work of selecting representative ex-
hibits. Former Gov. Francis is first
vice-president and John Wanamaker,
president.
The prospectus points out the prac-
teal side OF the exposition rs follows:
"As this will be the first all-Ameri.
can exposition ever held in a foreign
country, II will be of interest to all
Europe as well as to America. Expo
sitions have not been overdone there
as they have here. American enter
prise is well recognized abroad and
the rapid progress of this country has
attracted the attention of the entire
world. Thus. an American exposition.
held in the heart Of Europe. will be.
OF inestimable value to the manufac-
turer and business man in that it will
give him an opportunity to show and
to demonstrate TO a receptive audience
what has been accomplished in the
United States along every line of en-
deavor.
Unlike a worlds fair. where a large
percentage OF the visitors are COM
mercially negligible sight-seers and
exhibits are lost in maze of many
buildings and amusement resorts. this
indoor exposition will appeal pre-
eminently to the business men of Eu-
rope. who will want to see what the
Americans are doing. Neither will the
results obtained depend SO much on
the amount Of space occupied. as on

I HAT America is to have a

comprehensive and represen-
tative exposition in Berlin
in 1910 is assured. Manufac-
Il turers and business men
throughout the country are
displaying a lively interest in the un-
dertaking and applications for space
have been received by the American
committee from many states. The
indications are that every branch Of
American progress will be shown at
the exposition.
1t is but natural that the United
States should seek to hold an All.
American exposition In Europe, for
our export trade In that direction has
reached splendid proportions and 1t
is constantly increasing. Our exports
to Europe for the year 1908 reached
the enormous sum of 81 1.27O.O16.773. 1t
Is also easily seen why the projectors
OF the exposition selected Germany as
the country In which to hold it. for
that country alone receives $274.17S.-
712 of our export trade. nearly one
fourth of the total amount going to
Europe. 1t can be truly said Of Ber-
lin that that city is the commercial
heart OF Europe.
Impetus has beeh given to the ex-
position enterprise by the recent ap-
pointment OF former Governor David
r. Francis of Missouri to the Office Of
first vice-president OF the American
committee. Mr.. Francis was PRECEDENT
OF the St. Louis worlds fair In 1904.
and the success of that great exposi-
ton was largely due to his wise man
agement and active interest.
There has Just been issued by the
American committee. whose Offices are
at No. so Church street, New York,
an attractively arranged prospectus
OF the exposition. which, in addition
to outlining the objects and advan-
tages Of the enterprise. contains many

they had gone, and the next day de-
parted for town with Brat.
He drove to his rooms, then went TO
the club and wrote to Dolly.
Poor Dolly; she had been promised
letter, and how eagerly she expected
it. There was no doubt she was badly
in love with this soldier man, and when
she received his epistle she went pink
and white. 1t was only a note asking
her to meet him in Kensington gar
dens, but it might have been made of
gold by the way she treasured it and
placed it under her pillow that night.
Dudley ]. dined at the club, and when
he returned to his rooms he found an
official letter awaiting him. He opened
it carelessly enough, but it fell from
his hand when he found himself re-
called, to start within ten days for
northern India, as trouble was expected
with native tribes.
1t was a blow. He hoped to have a
good time with Dolly before he went
back, but duty must be attended to at
all costs, and it was stern-faced Dud-
ley that smoked his final "ipe that
night.
Next morning he and Brat took cab
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-05-02

and drove to the Albert Memorial,
where in due course Dolly met them,
and great was the mutual delight, just
as if they had not seen one another for
months.
Then they took their way to couple
of chairs under the spreading branches
of a splendid chestnut tree, and there
talked of many things.
At last he told her of his order to re-
turn to India so peremptorily.
isn't it a sickening nuisance?" He
tried to say the words coolly and casu-
ally; but they sounded hollow, and rang
untrue.
Dolly answered nothing. She looked
away. Her eyes were full of tears, and
she longed to sob aloud.
1t was quite a difficult position for
Dudley. He had something on his
mind that he wanted to tell her badly,
but it did not seem fair to her in case
he never came back again, and yet 1t
meant so much to him he could not
resist.
dolly, 1 know I've no right to say
what I'm going to say to you, be-
cause I've only known you such lit
tie while, but 1 can't help 1t, because

because | love you. Oh! if you could
only realize how much you are to me,
and | want your love to guide and
help me when I'm far away"
The pretty face dropped, and Dud-
ley saw two great tears fall from the
tender brown eyes.
In a moment he was conscious OF
supreme happiness, of a feeling that
an immense weight had been lifted
from him.
Dolly, then you are sorry that I'm
going? You love me, dear, l can see
it. My own sweet Dolly; you do love
me-
The trunks of the old chestnut trees
in Kensington gardens are broad in the
bulk, and the place was almost de-
serted save for a few nursemaids and
children under distant trees; who, had
they been looking their way, would
have seen, with some establishment,
the handsome young man take the
sweet little girl to his arms and cover
her face with kisses.
Brat watched and was profoundly
disguised.

Cupid'S Little Game

At breakfast time Dolly came down
into the coffee room with her aunt and
there. almost at the next table, sat
Dudley j. with a newspaper propped
IN before him, and her heart started
beating like a sledge hammer. But the
man took no notice whatsoever.
Inwardly she knew that it was
against all sense of propriety that she
could allow a young man quite I'M
known to her to strike up an ac-
Quaintance without any form OF III
PRODUCTION whatsoever; her hedft
uuailed at the thought, and yet ne was
such a nice, gentlemanly man, ana ne
certainly did apologize for Brat rude-
ness. Poor Brat! what sweet little dog
he was. and she was to blame, too, for
throwing pebbles for him; she deserved
no sympathy. r,...,o..
When the breakfast was over Dudley
held the door open for Dolly and her
aunt to pass out =.
Mrs. Egerton had always an eye Ior
good looks, and gracefully acknoWl-
edged the courtesy and remarked IN d
tone quite loud enough for Dudley D.
to hear: Now, Dorothy, that's nice
young fellow for you, if you like.
The blood rushed to Dolly's cheeks
it was very embarrassing:
Dudley smiled to himself ana Went
straight to the lady clerk who presldes
over the office where the bedroom keys
are kept, and with great diplomacy
discovered the elderly lady to be Mrs
Egerton of 20 Princeton terrace, Ken
sington, and that the young lady was
her niece, Miss D. P. Egerton. Col.
Egerton was expected down the same
day.
Dudley rubbed his hands; he was
going to fix things up now. He could
easily make friends with the old boy
when he arrived, and then-Well then
And it all turned out as he expected.
Col. Egerton came. Dudley j. Went
into the smoking room after luncn.
They entered into conversation. DUO
lev spoke of India. The colonel took
the bait. He discovered that he was
in the same regiment as supallerh
with Dudley's father, and many
scrape they got into.
Before an hour had elapsed the pair
were great friends. They walked on
the cliffs together and met Mrs Eyer
ton and her niece coming in from a
stroll. Dudley j. was presented ana
bowed with great ceremony, WINE
Dolly was scarlet, and Master Cupid
looked on with intense amusement, ana
Brat was insufferably bored.
Cupid now felt that he could let
things slide a bit, and retired Tor
space to attend to another pressing
affair he had on hand.
The happy month went all too quick
ly. and at length the colonel decided to
return to London, and Dudley went TO
the station to see them off.
When they arrived home Dolly felt as
If she had seen the sun snuffed out ana
how she longed to be back again at
Puddleton-on-Se Sea!
