The Garden Of tho stone Gods was

came family to the ears of Rosa
mond, as she sat day after day by
the fountain working fairy webs OF
lace on cushion, as she had been
taught in q convent far across the
seas.
so many years had she dwelt in
the convent that she seemed less an
American girl than a foreigner, and
now that she was buried here in this
strange old garden. she seemed to
live in a dream life far removed from
that OF the girls, who. on the other
eide of the walls, went back and
forth on gay modern quests of shop
ping and motoring, golang and rid
ing.
Once an airship had whizzed over
head. and the beat of It's motors had
como down to them family.
Rosnmond's uncle had looked up
into the skies and had said, fiercely.
"Can We never get away from mod
ern horrors?"
But Rosamond had looked up at
the big sirship, sailing over their
heads like q huge silver dragonny,
and then down at the impossible stone
gods which surrounded the fountain.
and had sighed.
Rosamond hated the stone gods,
and she yearned inexpressibly for the
life that other girls led.
One day outside the walls she
heard a voice singing. It was a mans
voice. strong and sweet. and the song
WAS love gong.
In her quiet garden, Rosamond
had heard little OF love. Her uncle
had never married; he hated women.
The song, as 1t foated out on the
spring air, seemed call to Rosa
mond to come out and be free.
SO she left her lace pillow and ran

He took her little trembling hands
in HIS strong grasp.
Look at me-" he commanded, ana
she raised her eyes and met hts
steady glance. 'Llsten--T arm going to
set the fairy princess free from the
enchanted garden. But she must LET
me do II In my own way--and trust
me--will she7"
"oh, yes" she breathed.
Every day after that he came.
Rosamond did not know what power
he used to charm her uncle, but the
older man grew eager for talks and
arguments with the young doctor.
They lunehed together and dined to-
gether and every day Rosamond sat
at the table content to listen, and
meet the glance of the steady Dyes
which seemed to say. always: Trust
me-"
And she did trust him, even when
one day he went by her with averted
head as he passed through the gar
den on his way to his motor.
At lunch she had the key to the
situation. Il have thought some
times" hor uncle said, restlessly,
that the doctor looks at you as IL
he loves ycu--it would be a calamity

Rosamond."
Rosamond's own heart beat flu

scarcely notices me at all uncle"
The next day the doctor came early
to the garden. IL must sneak to you
before your uncle comes" he said to
Rosamond, who had arisen at his APP

Rosamend's eyes dropped before

clerk OF Steuben county by her father
and held that Office for a number OF
years.
When Governor Marshall and his
wife were about to be married she de-

office would be to make out the mar

Mrs. Marshall Is as much of hu-
manitarfan as the governor. A glance
at some Of the bills that have been
passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature
gives an insight into the governor:
To curtail child labor.
TO regulate sale Of cold storage prod

To require hygienic schoolhonses
and medical examination Of children.
To prevent blindness at birth.
To regulate sale Of cocaine and
other drugs.
To provide free treatment for by

To establish public Fairgrounds.
To improve DtIre food laws
To protect against loan sharks.
To provide police court matrons.
To prevent traffic In white slaves.
To permit night schools.
To require medical supplies as part
of train equipment
Governor Marshall has also played
an active part In providing for protec-
ton Of labor, as Is exampled by the
following acts:
To create bureau of inspection
for workshops. factories. mines and
boilers.
To establish free employment agen.
cies.
To require full train crews.
To require safety devices on switch |

To require efficient headlights ON

To require standard cabooses.
To provide weekly wage, etc.
