THE WORLD
Dr. Simpsons Story of His Visits to the Countries of the
 Old World

A few miles above Bonn is the Drach- enfels group of mountains. There are seven in all, running from 1900 to 1900 feet high. Tn the good old days a dragon lived in cave which is still to be seen, from the river. It is in one of the highest of the mountains. He was eating maideus and making himself a nuisance generally until Seigfried, a young hero, came to that part of the country. He struck blacksmith for job, but that worthy, looking at his slender figure, advised Seigfried to take up typewriting or some light occupa tion. Seigfried picked up sledge hammer and came down on the anvil, smashing it to pieces. The blacksmith concluded that the youth was too strenuous to have about the shop and sent him op on the side hill to burn charcoal. He and the dragon met that evening and did not take to each other, 1 so for few hours there was very fair imitation of a aght. At last Seigfried smashed the dragon with an iron bar he had been using 10 stiV up the fire. The black blood ran down the side of the mountain and little bird that was watching the fight told Seigfried that if he bathed in the blood he would be in- vulnerable. He did so, but missed one spot Years after he was wounded in that spot aud died, but ''that is another story"
 The hillsides are covered with vine yards and the wine is called dragons blood in this district There are some old and some new castles on the noun tains, one ruin being very picturesque. 1 did not climb the Drachenfels-L leave that>kind of thing to Milton Vim, who is young and light. You can go up on 8 donkey's back or by rack and pinion railway
 Immediately after passing the Drach enfels is an island named Nonneworth with large convent. On the other side of the river is an old ruined arch of a castle high up on the hill named Ro. landsec. Roland, the nephew of Charle. mague, was on trip down the Rhine for pleasure and. adventure and hap pened to stop over night at the castle of DracheufeIs, where be met the counts daughter, LldegarCie. They be came engaged almost immediately. The Moors were advancing through Spain, were near France, and sent for Roland. He went, met the Moors in the Pass of Roncevalles and defeated them, but was so badly wounded himself that 1t was supposed he was dead and this re- port was carried to Ildegatd de, who i'm mediately joined the sisterhood at Nonneworth. When Roland arrived and found out what had happened he had castle built where he could over look the convent and day after day he would sit and watch for possible glimpse of Lldegarde. One day the funeral bell toled and a small process sion was seen passing out to the burial He was told by bis servant that it was Ildegard who was dead. He acted like man demented, sat staring at the little chapel until be was found few days later in this position with the death stare still fixed on the chapel.
 There is another ruin near by named the Abbey of Heisterbach, which was erected in 1902. Soon after it's founda- tion a young monk joined who seemed to do lot of thinking and some doubt

for a weekend reaction. with the new
crop rather easy on continued reports of
Increased acreage and increased use of

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

It might be inferred from a transaction
in Georgetown Gas stock that took place
today at the meeting Of the Stock Ex-
change, that some one was firm believer
in the current notion Of prospective
changes in the financial policy Of the
company which would be for the benefit
Of stockholders. There was paid today
for the stock of the company the highest
price ever given in its history. For twenty
five shares 90 was paid, and for three
shares, 80. The asking price for the stock
advanced to 100, while IS was bid.
But little was done In Washing Gas.
and in this respect a marked change was
noted In the course Of that security on
the local market for the past week or
more. where 1t has been more active than
any other. What transactions wer6 re-
corded in the stock were tat Sc and 681ss,
which was the level Of yesterdays buy
ing.
1,anston sold up to g. an advance over
the figures Of yesterday. ana IL believed
to reflect the annual report Of the COM
pany, which is to be presented at the
meeting of the stockholders to be held
soon in Alexandra. It is concluded from
the action Of the stock today that the re-
port will make q good showing Of the
business done during the year.
