Beautiful "Templar Way"
AT Washington street the marchers
turned west to State, where they en-
tered on the "Templar Way" This
stretch extended from Randolph to
Van Buren, street and was made beau
tiful by handsome arch and massive
Corinthian columns of pure white
erected thirty-three feet apart on both
sides of the street. Testoons of natur.
al laurel connected the columns, and
the bright red cross and the shield
and coat OF arms of the order were
prominent in the scheme of decora.
ton.
Moving south to Jackson boulevard,
the knights again turned west, and
near the federal building passed be-
fore yet another reviewing stand
which accommodated Governor Deneen
and his staff. Marching north on La.
Sale street, the parade passed be-
meath the grand commandery arch Of
pure white which spanned the street
at the La Sale hotel, the headquarters
of the grand commandery of Illinois.
This was beautiful structure de-
signed by one of Chicago's most ia
nous sculptors. Upon it's top stood
the figures of mounted knights four
teen feet high. AT the new city hall
on Washington street the parade was
dismissed, after marching forty-three
blocks.
Care For the Marchers.
Everything that could be thought
of for the comfort of the paraders and
the spectators was done by the local
committees. In nearly every block
along the line of march were station
ed physicians who were also knights
templar, with trained nurses and
equipment for emergency cases. In
addition, emergency hospitals to be
kept open day and night during the
conclave were established at many
points in the center of the city, and
at the West Side ball park which was
selected as the place for the competi'
| tive drills.
Wednesday and Thursday were the
days set apart for the drills for which
handsome trophies are awarded, and
band concerts, sight seeing and many
receptions were ON the program.
Enhancing Scenes at Night.
The scene in the streets at night
was especially beautiful, for all the
arches, festoons and columns of the
decorative scheme were brilliantly IL
Illuminated, and on State street, in ad
dition to the "Templar Way" the mer
chants had put up decorations thai

Miss Wells expected to find sulky
and obstinate young lady in Miss
Jean, but was agreeably disappointed.
The new pupil settled right into place
and gave no trouble. Instead of sulk-
ing she sang There were fifteen
other girls, and while all of them
constantly kicked about the weak
soups and the oleomargarine on the
thin slices of Bread Miss Jean
thought it was romantic. No other
woman in the world would have sus-
pected her of duplicity, but Miss Wells
did. Her heart and hand had never
been sought by determined young
man, but she could figure that if such
had been the case she would not have
given him up so easily. A mother
might be hoodwinked, but an old maid

the country. That scar? 1t was
there!
Go away, sir" cried Miss Wells,
and the door was banged on his heels.

delivery boy drove up to the kitchen
through the back gate, Thomas passed
him with grumble. Something
warned Miss Wells. She left class

behold, the grocer's boy was young

there; but though he was driven
away he went with his head up and
a determined look on his face.
/ Then the various small boys earned
various quarters by hanging around
the grounds, but they failed in their
attempts if they had notes to deliver.
One day one of the girls gashed her
hand A doctor was sent for to dress
it. With him came a young medical
student. That is, he got as far as

gave him away.

Chicago.-Marching to the music OF
forty-two bands and the almost equal
" melodious cheers of hundreds OF
thousands Of their relatives, friends
and admirers. some $4,000 Knights
Templar took part August 9 in the
greatest parade ever held by the or

uniforms were fittingly set off by the
beautiful decorations of the streets and
buildings, and the scene was one that
will not soon be forgotten by those
who were fortunate enough to witness
1t.
This magnificent parade was the
climax, in a spectacular way, OF the
thirty-first triennial conclave Of
knights Templar, which opened here
on Sunday, Aug. Z. In accordance
with the time honored custom of the
grand encampment, the doings of the
week began with divine service.

manded by Benjamin S. Wilson, chair
man of the escort committee. In many
of the leading churches Of the city
special services were held which were
attended by visiting knights and their
families.
Monday was devoted mainly to tho
receiving of the grand and subordinate
communicates and escorting them to
their hotels. It is estimated that fully
100000 visitors came with the knights
and that about 100000 other eXcur.

OF course every hotel was thronged
and thousands of the visitors found

Parade Of The Knights.
The grand parade" of Tuesday was
the largest parade of knights Templar
ever held. The preparations were
elaborate and Michigan boulevard was
most deliberately decorated. The sir
knights formed in line of march on
the boulevard south OF Thirty-tirst
street. and signal to move was given
bv the guns of Battery B, ]. N. G., the
detachment for the purpose being
composed of Knights Templar all of
whom are members Of the battery.
The same detachment fired the salute
to the grand master.
Marching northward in Michigan
boulevard, the parade passed, near
Hubbard court. beneath an entrance
arch built in the form Of an ancient
battlement with It's towers and tur-
rets. This was intended to represent
the entrance to the city, and as the
column passed under it. buglers sta
toned on it's heights heralded the ap-
proach of each grand division.
Next the knights came abreast of
the first grand stand, one-half mile in
length, and this needed no decora'
tions, for it was filled to it's capacity
mainly with ladies whose beautiful
summer costumes made 1t like a vast
garden. About $4,000 persons were in
this immense stand, as at it's center
was a gorgeous throne on which sat

Somebody on the Roof
Copyright. 1910. by Associated Literary Press
By Donald Allen

Miss Hyacinth Wells was an old
maid. If she hadn't been an old
maid she wouldn't have been the
owner and principal of the Wells
school for young ladies. Old maids
have fondness for opening schools
for young ladies. It's their way of
getting revenge for never having had
any romance in their own lives.
They become watch dogs and tyrants
and gloat over it.
When Miss Jean Kelly arrived at
Ravendale and the Wells school with
her mother, she was left in the parlor
while the mother and Miss Wells re-
tired to private room to have a
confidential conversation. Miss Jean
was to be sequestered on account of
her being in love at nineteen. She
was as good as engaged to very
determined young man, who was two
years older. He had said to the
mothers face after being turned down
that he would marry Jean if he had
to wait hundred years. 1t had taken
the strongest kind Of parental author-
ty to bring the girl to the school, and
she was to be kept there as a pupil
and a prisoner. No letters must be
received or sent without being read.
AS she walked out on the ground,
guards must be stationed to watch. If
allowed outside the grounds two
guards must accompany her.
She had been hurried from home,
so that the determined man might
not get track of her, but in case he
did he would be known by a scar on
his chin. Miss Wells was to look for
a scar
''Trust me-" replied Miss Wells,
when she heard the full particulars.
