II ALWAYS love to read those delight
4 fuf old-world romances where the gal
liant bridegroom and tho blushIng bride
eloped TO Gretna Green and the irate
father and the infuriated relationship
law-to-be pursued the wildly rocking
coach and its four galloping horses The
brides father was always so ready with
that old blunderbuss OF his, too, which
somehow or other never did manage to
injure anything at all, not even the
twittering birds by the roadside!
The birds in the old romances were
always Just waking as the coach and
horses went galloping past. The dawn
was coming slowly in, and the whole
scene was intensely romantic. right up
TO the last minute when the final words
Of the immortal blacksmith were pro-
nounced over the happy couple. and the
irate father arrived Just one fraction
OF second too late-and of course was
induced to change of heart Mt once
and took the blush ing bride and her gal
liant groom rgh under his fatherly wing
once more!i
The old days are, in measure. still
with us. although the exact form OF
elopements now Is different. Just tho
other day the runaway match OF Ruth
Morgan Waters and the Prince Pignateli
filled New York and far beyond with an
Interesting and highly romantic topic Of
conversation. Despite the anger of the
brides father, manifested by his repeated
denials of their engagement and his
threat to run the Prince out of the
country he has, in true orthodox fash
ion. now forgiven them both. and it Is
presumed that they will live happily ever
after!
The Prince claims relationship with
King Alphonso of Spain, and has been in
the public eye for quite a while. many
sensational Incidents having been con-
nected with his name. He has been re-
ported engaged to various more or less
prominent and wealthy damses times
without number. but rumor really has
recounted his last affair correctly this
time.
The Prince is 81 years of age, while
his bride is %. The marriage took place
in New York, and after the ceremony the
newly made Princess telephoned her
parents to Join them there.

Helen, thy beauty Is to me
Like those Nicaean banks of yore,
That gently, DER a perfumed sea,
The weary, wayworn wanderer bore
To his own native shore,
On desperate seas long wont to roam,
Thy hyacinth hair thy classic face,
Thy Naiad airs, have brought me homo
To the glory that was Greece
And the grandeur that was Rome.

How statue-like | see thee stand,
The agate lamp within thy hand!

Are Holy Land!

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 4-After an
exciting motorcycle chase, which be-
gan at Knightstown yesterday, Charles
Staley, alleged to have stolen motor
cycle from a shed at the rear of the
home of Charles Foley, was overtaken
at Richmond. Jack Carr caught Staley
and placed him in the custody of the

was known yesterday Foley telephoned
to persons living in surrounding towns
and inquired whether they had seen
the machine. A.physician in Cumber-
land told Foley that a man riding a
motorcycle, answering the description
given, had been seen going through
that town. Foley then sent Carr, on
motorcycle, in pursuit of the man.
Carr rode to Knightstown before he
sighted Staley, and it was from there
that the race, containing the custom
airy thrills, noise and smoke, began.
Carr overlook Staley just as they en-
tered Richmond and took him to the
police station there.

KAISER LOSES
10000 A DAY
ON EAST FRONT

PETROGRAD, Aug. Awhile the
Russian war office admits gains for
the Austro-German forces in Courland
and Southern Poland, the situation in
the sector of Warsaw is unchanged.
The sledge-hammer blows which Field
Marshal Won Mackensen and General
Won Buelow have been paying, have
cost the Austro-German forces ten
thousand men a day during the recent
fighting.
Dispatches indicate that Grand
Duke Nicholas has withdrawn the ma
jor part of his army from Warsaw in
order to meet the wings of the Austro-
German forces and so, if Warsaw
should fall in the immediate future,
the Teutonic general staff will have
failed in its main object of capturing
the grand army of Russia.
1t is officially admitted that the Rus
sian forces defending Riga, on the
Baltic sea. have Withdrawn across the
Eckau river. The Eckau river is only
10 miles southwest of Riga and the
army of General Won Buelow is now
fighting to force a passage.
