All over Italy there are towers or small castles that were in mediaeyal t.met the strongholds of different factions. headed by a noble family.
 There is d story of one of these castles on the banks of Lake Mag giori. The Asconti family once oC- tervals Of warfare when the family Eyed peacefully on the top of the hill, feasting and dancing while their aGherents titled the soil or tend ed their flocks ill the country about them. During one of these OaSeS in the desert of war a young soldier Giovanni Caspi, on whom the head of the family lavished many ia vors. made love to Theresa Asconti As soon as the baron heard of this affair he dismissed Casp, for the young man was not of noble birth.
 In time Giovanni Caspi became known in warfare as one of the boldest and most ingenious leaders When he attacked tower it was sure to fall. This was not because his men were more brave or strong CT but because their captain was full of arts by which he outwitted his enemies. Indeed the Italians of those days were prone 10 ac- complsh their objects rather by their wits than by ordinary meth, ods
 Now. the Asconti family belonged to the Ghebelines, one of the two prominent factions that contended for supremacy in Italy in those days the other being the Guelphs. One of the Guelph leaders, named Blan dova, whose castle was on Lake Lee, co, hearing that Asconti was away from his castle with all his adher ents. resolved to cross to Menag the east bank of Lake Maggiori march up and around the north end of the lake and down on the west bank of the Asconti stronghold. hop ing to occupy it during Ascontis absence
 One day Asconti was at Strezzia directly south of his castle, with a small portion of his force when Caspi appeared and rode up to him Asconti frowned and asked him what he wished.
 TO tell you that Guelph force is marching northward on the other bank of the lake intending to come down through Locarno and occupy your castle"
 How do you know that?" asked Asconti.
 Because saw them from al eminence."
 There was no reason for Gasp giving false information, so Ascont sent cOuriers in hot haste to tht StNeIdl poltlOllS Ol HIS IOICe, SOIllt of whom were at a considerable dis tance, with orders that they should hasten to the castle. Then AscOnt made a forced march himself in tn, same directoin.
 Caspi asked permission to go witt him and help him win victory ove

Officers viii Probably Forget
About Desertion and Men
Won't Press Investigation.

WASHINGTON. .. G.. August a.
A finale which might have ended a
cruise OF Fl. NJ s. Pinafore was to-
day suggested by Major William S.
Hodges, judge advocate general OF The
District National Guards. to the de
sorting sailors from the District mil
tia ship Ozark and to the dlsgrunttati
officers who have been threatened
by their men with an investigation.
After a deep consideration of the
regulations governing the District mi
litia, Major Hodges declared that II
the men returned to their ship within
ten days. he was OF the opinion that
a charge Of desertion would not hold
against them The Ozark 10 destined
to arrive at the naval militia wharf
ty-ffve "tars'' to-day are removing
from their uniforms the dust gathered
during their long hike home after
DESERVING the ship. They will line up
on the wharf tomorrow for a scram-
BILE aboard TO report before the ten
days expire.
When the news OF Major Hodges
decision went aboard, there was great
joy among the deserters. The anna
teur sailors will throw themselves
upon the mercy of their officers. who.
1t In expected. will scold them pro-
digiously. think twice of the threat
ened investigation which these men
have fostered and decide to welcome
them back to the good ship Ozark,
after which the curtain will fall and
the play seamen" will 60 back To
their jobs on shore.
