In the early summer of 1898, a girl sat
at her writing table in the old Manor
| House of Sunningdale.
Mildred Dalrymple was not exactly
| a beauty, her features were too irreg-
| ular, and her complexion too sallow,
but she possessed a shapely figure, a
graceful carriage, and a well shaped
| head that was exquisitely poised on a
charming neck.
With a tender smile on her sensitive
mouth, and a glitter of unshed tears
in her brown eyes,, she was writing a
few words on a thin slip of paper:
"She comes to ask your pardon. VIII
you forgive her the hasty words?"
This she carefully wrapped round n
charming miniature of herself, eXquis-
itely set with diamonds. and hat bore
the inscription on the back: From
Mildred Dalrylnple to Rodney Brookes
May. 1899" And, hen putting it back
into its leather case, addressed the lit
tie packet to Rodney Brookes, Esq,
Reithock. S. Africa
A few months p iously, Rodney and
Mildred, alliance overs. had parted

should weigh with him against his pos
session of her, accused him of pride,
and Ven of discomfort and a desire to
see the world.
He had gone off with a sore feeling
that she did not see how deep and true
his love really was. and she vas left
with q tiseting impression that there

he said with tender compassion. POOR

hugging this forlorn hope to your
heart"
Yes she said, "a lifelong widow

turned away with a sob.
"Oh, Mildred he cried. seizing her
hand, be my wife. I have loved you

happy"

Not buried" said Eustace eagerly,

clasp, 1T is only stunned. 1T will come
to life again in the warmth OF my
love. Mildred"-with a pathetic break
In his voice-"I have loved you so long,
you do not know what the hope OF pos
sessing you means to me" :,
After some minutes silence. In which
she weighed her life and shrank from
the barrenness it offered, Mildred at
last replied;
IF indeed you really want me. you

Poor Eustace paled at her words, but
catching at the hope in her last phrase
cried eagerly:
80 you will have me-. n let me
love you. l ask for nothing more
And so the engagement was made.
The day before her wedding Mildred
received a small, stained packet.
Another present. I suppose" she
thought, as she took it into her hands.
But the sight Of the foreign stamp
and the postmark "Bloemfontein"
caused her to tea it open with trem-
bling fingers. (,
Behold, some dozen letters on thin
paper, and her miniature, the frame
wrenched and despoiled Of it's dia-
monds, but the poor face still smiling
bravely as when she sent it forth to
make her peace with her lover. .
An official looking letter headed
"Bloelnfontein Hospital" caught her
eye, and she read as follows: F.,

Two Petitions
Circulated Against
This Measure Were
/. !" Entirely Distinct
One Petition Would Refer Whole Bill and Other Would
Refer Only One Section of Bill-Neither Had
Enough Signers-Oficial Opinion by Linde.

Bismarck. ". D., July 13.-Attorney
General Linde. this morning gave a
written opinion to the effect that the
referendum petition as relating to
senate bill 1874 was not sufficient,
holding that neither of the class Of
petitions presented had enough sigma
lures to refer it to vote Of the peo-
pie in the fall Of 1916.
Mr.. Linde was looking UP the
standing of the old immigration ap-
preparation and had occasion to ex-
anime the petitions of the Office of
secretary of state and discovered. that
the petition circulated by Hellstrom
asked for the holding up of the en-
tire bill while those petitions cir
culated by the society of equity ask
ed for reference of only d part of the
bill
Mr.. Linde holds that inasmuch as
one petition calls for one thing and
another petition for another the
signatures should not have been plac-
ed in one sum and for that reason
neither petition carries and the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for 1915 and
$35, 900 for 1916 stands and the i'm
migration board will hold a meeting
shortly to organize and start work.

Washington, July 1S.--M. r, S.
Hutchlnson, personal representative
OF Thomas A. Edison, called on Secre-
tary Daniels and informed the secre-
tary OF Edison's acceptance Of Daniels
invitation to Edison to head the ad-
Yisory board Of civilian inventors for
the navy.

Daniels, that Mr.. Edison regarded my
invitation as a call to duty and that he
would be glad to render any service
possible to his country

the naval officers who handle the pro-
biems of ordnance, construction, en-
gineering and electricity, as to the
best way to get the benefit of the ad-
vice OF the civilian inventors. AS to
the other advisory members. Daniels
said he was not ready TO make any
announcement, but he felt assured
that the other men would respond 10
the call to duty. He expects to make
the announcement concerning them
in a few days.
What we want to do in this mat
ter" said the secretary, sis to appeal
to American inventive genius to work
for the navy and study what we ought
to do. We want them to give us the
best that they can. Already since this
war began, much has been done with
our resources. What has been done In
the last three months has not yet ap-
peared and the work that is going on
under the supervision of our own ex-
perts and engineers will continue. But
the idea of the advisory board win be
to extend into the realms of the uu-
known in naval construction and the
possibilities Of naval warfare We
want the advice of genius as to the
new lines. No one today is able to
tell what such advice may bring forth.
For the first time in twenty years
we have had an opportunity to test
the kind Of ships and ammunition
that we have in actual warfare. Al
ready we are putting guns on sub
marines and Admiral Taylor is at
work on the subject of protection
against submarines l believe there
will be as much revolution in naval
construction in the future as there
has been since the Monitor"

marck, N. D. Dear Sir: Pursuant to
your letter Of July 9, requesting my
opinion as to the present status of the
various appropriations providing for
Immigration and also the effect Of the
attempted suspension of senate bill
No. 1874, being an act creating a state
board of immigration, l caused to be
made complete investigation OF the
various acts appropriating money for
this purpose, and also the petitions
filed with the secretary of state pur-
porting to refer and suspend senate
bill 1914 aforesaid.
From such investigation 1t appears
that in counting the signatures on the
referendum petitions relating to this
particular bill, the secretary Of state
added together the names appearing
upon two separate and wholly distinct
petitions, towit, one which seeks to
refer the whole bill, the other which
seeks to refer solely the section of the
bill appropriating money.
In my opinion this is wholly tmprop-
