The saddest love story that | have
ever known personally is one which
has It's prototype in thousands Of IN

In the Chicago Tribune. The man Is
a type very often found in this coun-
try-a self made man. Left an or

May morn, the man chanced to glance
over the pretty garden, and there,
amid the flowers, he saw the girl. as
fresh and lovely as flower herself.
and instantly all the romance In him
rose up and clothed her in the gar
ments of his ideal and gave his heart
into her keeping from that time forth.
Utterly unconscious OF the emotions
she had aroused. this maid of 23 sang
on happily among the flowers.

These precautions were taken for fear
OF being seen In the darkness by the
enemy before we could get time TO
do the work outlined.

twenty-six minutes all around the
