Alumni Wins Game.

The Princeton alumni and high
school basket ball teams engaged in a
battle at the armory on Thanksgiving
evening, which was enjoyed by many
spectators. It was game which
demonstrated tactful playing by the
members of each side, but the alumni,
having had greater experience, won in
a score Of II to 10.
In the first half the high school
showed excellent team work and the
count was even up to Z. In the Sec
ond half, however, the alumni made
some heavy drives with the result
above stated.
AS this was the first game Of the
high school boys, they are deserving
of more than modicum of credit, and
we predict for them, after they have
been whipped into line, many victories
ere the season is over.

Words of Praise.

Easily one of the best entertain
ments Of it's kind ever given at Elk
River was staged at the Royal thea
ter on Monday evening for the benefit
of Trinity church under the leadership
of Mrs. Harriet Purdy Smith Of Chi
cago. The play was in the form of a
musical extravaganza, entitled 'The
Court of King Cole," and was sung en-
tirely by Anoka and Elk River talent.
-Sherburne County Star News.
With all the musical talent available
here in Princeton and the additional
time that has been expended on it, our
production of this same operetta
should be even better. Be sure to turn
out to this Red Cross benefit next Fri
day and Saturday evenings.

Mike Mossman Buried With Honors.
Stiffened with rheumatism for a
number Of years and suffering from
deafness and impending blindness,
Mike Mossman has at last been called
by his creator to the happy hunting
grounds.
Funeral services were held at the
depot on Saturday morning, Henry
Shockley, delivering a eulogy to our
departed friend, setting forth in feel
ing manner his faithfulness, kindliness
and lovable nature. Mike was placed
in a pretty coffin draped with an
American flag and covered with floral
tributes, and the pallbearers- Claire
Smith, Geo. Borchert, Fred King and
Raymond Howard-all employees of the
railroad company,-wearing white
crepe on their arms, carried Mikes re-
mains to their last resting place near
the tracks, where he loved to sit and
enjoy the morning zephyrs. The depot
was closed while Mikes body was be-
ing inferred.
There is mourning in the Mossman
family over the sudden departure of
Mike, and the writer, who knew him
well, misses his kindly greetings when
visiting the depot. These greetings
merely consisted of a lick of the
hand and wag Of the tail-for Mike
was only dog. He had reached the
age of 1s>years. Alas, poor Mike.

Last week the Isle Independent
changed it's name to the Mile Laos

that there was another newspaper
published in the county known as the

longer exists and our Isle contempor-

Last week the Wahkon Enterprise
entered upon it's eleventh year. Re-
ferring to it's experience the editor
naively remarks: "These ten years
have not been altogether tranquil.
The Enterprise man has disposition
to stand pretty firmly for the univer-
sally recognized better things Of life
and this has called down upon him
the wrath Of some who do not see as
he does. But we are thankful that we
are still here and doing business. Of
those who sought different situation
we have nothing to~say. They are not
here now."s

Hioh Taxes Placed on Animals
to Conserve Food Supply.

Dog fanciers in England, especially
the women, say that the new cog
taxes are going to kill the business
they have been carefully building up
for years. They do not object to the
suggested increase on old licenses, out
they fear the big tax on new dogs Is
going to brighten away all their Gus
toners.
There are many British women with
small incomes living in the country
who have invested most Of their money
in dogs as business. They were
willing to mark time till the end OF
the war, looking forward to a revival
in their business afterward. Trade Is
of course slack just now, but with no
money coming in at all they will be
unable to retain their kennels.
One fancier spoke bitterly OF the
sensational stories told in certain quar-
tiers about pampered dogs and the Inn

cused Of eating.

"Oh, chats too bad" he said with
concern. Cant you manage some
thing =. {"
'Too bad" said Rose in lively dis.
sent. "It's too heavenly! I've got a
whole day just to enjoy being myself /;
being" she reached for his hand,
and. getting 1t, stroked her cheek with
1t being my new self. Portia used
to think I faxed pretty we'll. But
never was-don't you know?-right.
So. you see, it's a real adventure just
to say-well, that want the car at
a quarter to eleven and to tell Otto
exactly where want him to drive me
to. always feel as IL ought to say
that If he'll just stop the car at the
corner of Diversey street, I can walk. "
He laughed out at that and asked
her how long she thought this blissful
state Of things would last.
Forever" she said.
But presently she looked ut him
rather thoughtfully. "Of course it's
none Of it new to you," she said,
mot the silly little things, nor the
things we do together-oh, the dinners,
and the dances, and the operas. Do
you sort of-wish I'd get tired of It?
Is 1t dreadful bore to you?"
$50 long as it doesn't bore you" he
said; $50 long as you go on-shining
the way you do over it, and I am
where can see you shine'-he took
hold Of both her hands, $50 long rs
It's like that, you WONDER" he said,
"well, the dinners and the operas and
all that may be pifle, but shall be
blind to the fact"
She kissed both his hands and told
him contentedly that he was darling.
But, after a moments silence, little
frown puckered her eyebrows and she
asked him what he was so solemn
about.
Well. he had told her the truth.
But precisely as he said it, he felt that
he was not the same man he had been
six months ago. Not the man who had
tramped impatiently buck and forth
across Frederica's drawing-room, ex-
pounding his ideals Of space and lei
sure. Not, the man who despised the
clutter Of expensive junk. That man
would have derided the possibility
that he could ever say this thing that
he, still Rodney Aldrich, had just said
to Rose-and meant. And the terrify-
ing thing was that he hadn't resisted
the change-hadn't wanted to resist
didn't want to now, as he sat there
looking at the slumbrous glory Of her
eyes.
So, when she asked him what he
was looking so solemn about, he said
with more truth than he pretended
to himself, that it was enough to make
anybody solemn to look at her.

CHAPTER VI.

The First Question and its Answer.
Roses instructive attitude toward
the group Of young to middle-aged
married people into which her own
marriage had introduced her was
founded on the assumption that, allow
ing for occasional exceptions, the hus-
bands and wives felt toward each
other as she and Rodney did-were
held together by the same irresistible,
unanalyzable attraction.
oh, there were bumps and bruises.
Of course! She had seen Rodney drop
off now and again into a scowling alb
straction, during which it was so evil
dent he didn't want to talk to her, or
even be reminded that she was about,
that she had gone away flushed and
wondering, and needing an effort to
hold back the tears.
These weren't frequent occurrences.
though, and did not weaken her idea

types-unfaithful husbands, cold, mer-

eShe refused to hear a word more
In those circumstances. "1'm coming
straight down." she said, land We'll go
somewhere for lunch. Don't you real
ize that we can't talk about it like
this? OF course you wouldn't, but it's
So"
Over the Unbeatable she got as de-
tailed an account of the affair as Rod
ney, in his somnambulistic condition,
was able to give her, and she passed
1t on to Martin that evening as they
drove across to the North side for
dinner.
"Well, that all sounds exactly like
Rodney" he commented. II hope
you'll like the grill"
''That isn't what hope" said Fred
erica. cat least it isn't what I'm most
concerned about. hope can make
her like me. Roddy's the only brother
I've got in the world, and I'm not go
ing to lose him if l can help it. That's
what will happen if she doesn't like
me-"
AS it happened, though, she forgot
all about her resolution almost with
her first look at Rose. Rodney's at
tempts at description of her had been
well-meaning; but what he had pre-
pared his sister for, unconsciously
Of course, in his emphasis on one or
two phases Of their first acquaintance,
had been sort Of slatternly Amazon.
But the effect of this was, really, very
happy; because when perfectly pre-
sentably clad, well-bred, admirably
poised young girl came into the room
nnd greeted her neither shyly nor
eagerly, nor with any affectation of
ease, girl who didn't try to pretend
1t wasn't critical moment for her,
but was game enough to meet it with
out any evidences of panic-when
Frederick realized that this was the
Rose whom Rodney had been telling
her about, she fell in love with her on
the spot.
Amazingly, as she watched the girl
and heard her talk, she found she was
considering, not Roses availability as
a wife for Rodney, but Rodney's as a
husband for her. 1t was this, perhaps.
that led her to say, at the end of her
leave-taking: "Roddy has been such
a wonderful brother, always, to me,
that I suspect you'll find him, some
times, being a brother to you. Don't
let 1t hurt you If that happens!"

When the society editor Of came

trademark it proclaims itself to be,
announced that the Rodney Aldriches
had taken the Allison McCraes' house,
furnished, for a year, beginning in
October, she spoke of it as an ideal
arrangement. AS everybody knew, it
was an ideal house for a young
married couple, and it was equally
evident that the Rodney Aldriches
were an ideal couple for it.
In the sense that it left nothing to
further realization. it was an ideal
house. an old house in the Chicago
sense, built over into something very
much older still Tudor, perhaps
Jacobean, anyway. In the supplement

rugs and pictures. the establishment
