'I'm with you, Rosie. l would like

Alighting at a railway station. they
asked the way to the castle of an off,

ing above the trees within walking
distance. He informed them that
Count Wolfgang Wohlfarth occupied
the castle and sometimes tourists were
admitted to inspect 1t. On reaching
It they crossed q drawbridge. passed
under q portcullts and told the gate

tolerably we'll. that they were Ameri:

There were Tommy O'Rourke, seven

mac been taken into the Thorpe family
when she became an orphan. When
the two were grown Mrs. Thorpe, who
was then a widow, was possessed Of a
fortune. One day when her son was
about to start on a tour she said to him:
1T ts time. Ned, that. I should take
thought az to the disposition Of my
property. It vas accumulated by your
father. who left 1t to me, expecting
that ! would leave 1t to you. Helen
has been brought up as one Of our
family, and ! would like to divide it
between you. but l feel 1t incumbent
upon me to leave 1t ali to you. There
is q way. however. BY which you could
relieve me Of the embarrassment"
How is that. mother?"
by winning her for your wife"
Ned Thorpe had never thought Of his
cousin In this light. Both sexes seem
to prefer to mate with some one they
know nothing about than one they
know all about. This. is a requisite Of,
romance. At any rate, without know
ing It. this was exactly the view he
took of the matter. From a boy he
bad had his dreams Of some beautiful
girl whom be should 6nd in a bower Of
roses. who should greet him with q
blush and q smile and after he had told
his story should confess that she had
been dreaming about his counterpart
since she was q child.
For this reason he received his moth
er's announcement coldly. He was
very fond OF his cousin. whom he had
regarded rather 40 q companion than
1 future wife. but his mothers sug-
gestion was rather too b~usinesslike to
commend itself to u who had had
such romantic dreams Of the girl he
should love not only on earth but
through eternity. So he told his moth
ef that he would think about It and
nothing would give him greater salts
faction than to meet her wishes.
He wal gone six months. during
which the lady Of the bower Of roses
did not appear. The girls be met were
all flesh and blood Of an ordinary, tex
ture. some Of them possessing unat-
tractive traits and some Of them be-
ing positively d~isagreeable. The only
person he saw during his tour. 1t Is
true. he first saw In a bower Of roses.

FLAG TRAMPED UPON2

WASHINGTON, July while no
official confirmation has been receiv-
ed by Secretary of State Bryan of the
trampling of the American flag at Win
nipeg, the secretary said he
is confident that the state depart
ment will not be called upon to make
an inquiry into the incident.
Press dispatches reported that the
Canadians trampled on the flag when

American while Provincial soldiers
were marching in the streets. He de-
clined to make further comment and
said he would rely on the judgment of
the American consul at Winnipeg.
In a Cucson Arizona incident, how
ever. where the flag over the Mexican
consulate was torn down, the state de-
partment probably will feel Obliged to
request the local authorities to make a
proper apology and amend to the Mex,
lean consul if that can be done with

cupy, etc, etc.
Why is not the privileges offered
by this law taken advantage OF? The
reason is too plain to be given. II the
utility bin should be declared uncon-
stitutional. then the protection We are
looking for under the law. and have
not provided for in the franchise. will
be denied. and We are left helpless,
subject TO the tender mercy of the

If the Allegheny Gas company is
honestly looking for the utility COM
mission to give us the protection We
, are entitled to, it would not be so EN-.
phatic in its objections to such pro-
tections being embodied In the fran.

those objections. and while I admit
thar cheaper fuel is greatly needed.
let us see that IL means permanent
economy. Yours truly,

have been able TO enforce provisions
of the fire marshal law which will

prevent the sale or use of fireworks

required, will the eight-inch pipes be
maintain a pressure anywhere near
Uniform at the price fixed? Too much
emphasis can not be laid upon our
demand that a specific pressure be
named, for after all, the value of gas
depends upon pressure and quality. yet
this franchise makes absolutely no
mention OF either. Every franchise
primarily should contain two obliga.
tons, one to supply, the other TO pay
There is in this franchise but one OBJ,
legation, and that is TO pay.
Section 3 of the franchise says that
Said company shall have the right
and authority to lease, sell, assign or
transfer this contract, grant or fran.
chise and any of its rights, privileges
or authority hereunder, to any person
firm or corporation"
Section reads: said city shall
have the right and privilege, at any
time, subject to the approval of the
public service commission of Indiana
to purchase from said company all the
property owned by it within said city
etc, etc.
1t would be Illuminating to know
why the approval of the public service
commission is made obligatory In the
event the city contemplated buying
but if sold as per Section 8, to any
person, firm or corporation, no approx
al of the commission board is pro

proval is mandatory.
