THE WAY OF THE FLAG.
 STAFF SUMMER GIRL

A friend of mire recently returned from Tucson with his bride, very much to my surprise. writes a Flag staff man, as I had never suspected any tendencies in that that direction: so after dinner one evening l queS- tioned tl,e new boss" of the family and this is the story she told, add ing, AS you're a newspaper reporter it's not for publication" however, I'll tell it as a. hint to other young ladies for future information. She said:
 Tt has been my desire for several summers to make a trip to Flagstaff and visit the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river. Finall.N the oppor tunity came for me to make this trip. Not having any friends there I made up nv mind l would have a good time all by myself Previous to leaving, however, girl friend who had been a student in the normal school here, gave me a telephone number and asked me to call this number and give her regards to this certain party. I arrived in Flagstaff and was de- lighted with the mountain scenery. I had planned to stop at Flagstaff a few days and then proceed to the Grand Canyon by stage. 1 was about ready to leave the Commercial hotel for the Canyon, when I remembered that telephone number. So 1 hur- riedlN called up and gave my mes sage and after a minutes talk he asked if he could not call and take me around the country a little as mad no friends here I thanked him, but said l was leaving in 10 minutes for the Grand Canyon. He said, I'll be there in five" and hung up. Be- fore 1 knew it he came down Rail- road avenue at a reckless speed.
 'I changed my mind about going to the Canyon immediately and the next day we started early in the morning with a. lunch to the Cliff dwellings together and came back before even ing. It so happened that he was not very busy and nearly every day we made some excursion into the noun tains. Navajo Indian reservation or other places of interest. We became greatly interested in each other dur ing these trips, and when my time to return to Tucson came, he asked me to correspond with him. Sc wheI 1 arrived home there was a letter and @ couple of books awaiting me. He wrote delightful letters and we carried on lively correspondence for seven months. Then one day no letter came, but I didn't think much of it as often mail is delayed. How eVeT, when three uayS went Dy ana no letter came I was the least bit worried, and came to the conclusion that he had found Q new one. But the next morning received a tele phone call from Phoenix saying, I will be in Tucscn at five o'clock to- night I went down to the depot at five o'clock with my heart in my mouth to wait till he came.
 He stayed in Tucson three days and then we were married, so you see we have come back to Flagstaff as the bes. place il, the world for us to live in

 There were about 30,000 pilgrims this year including 5000 Indians, 2000 Egyptians and 1S,000 from the Hedjaz.
 It is said that the Indians and Mos lens from other regions that were met at Mecca were similarly favorably im- pressed, and that the news spread by returning pilgrims of the successful accomplishment of the pilgrimage, amid conditions contrasting strikingly with those existing before the war, when pillage and bloodshed were. of daily occurrence, and epidemics and terrible privations followed in the wake of the pilgrims, will go a long way to convince the Moslem world of the beneficial effects accruing to it from the grand sherif's blow for in- ependence.-Rochester Post -EXpress.
