COrnelio Grand was tho last sur
vivor OF a noble old Italian family.
Poverty forced him to accept a pro-
censorship in Rome. There he lived
only for the happiness Of his hand
some young adopted son, Nino.
Nino had a glorious tenor voice, and
sang his way into many a woman'S
heart. But he cared for none Of these
conquests. For he was desperately
and eternally' in love with one girl.
She was Hedwig, beautiful daught
ter Of Count Won 1Ara, a purse proud
German.
Hedwig eagerly returned Nino'4
love, and the two became secretly en-.
gagged. But at the very outset u
their romance the Count CHANGED TO
hear Of his daughters interest In tho
penniless young tenor.
SO he whished her away from Rome
and shut her up in a ramshackle
castle among the mountains Of the
Abruszi. There he kept her a pris-
oner, and threatened TO continue
keeping her locked in her rooms until
she should promise to forget Nin1
and marry a greasy merchant named
Benoni, a friend of her fathers.
Hedwig would not consent. She re-
NAMED true to her lover and refused
to listen to Benoni's SNUG wooin'g.
So her father swore she should stay
where she was until she would sub-
init to his commands.
Meantime, Nino could and no trace
Of his vanished sweetheart The
Count had left no clue 70 his where-
abouts. So Nino hunted throughout
Europe in vain for the girl he adoted.
Then 1t was that old Cornello took
pity on his boys misery and began to
do little investigating on his own
account. By mingled luck and cleyer-
ness he found his way at length to
the castle. -
He could not gain admittance, 50
ne pribed a servant to arrange an in
terview between himself and Hedw!g.
During this secret talk the girl told
him Of her sad predicament And
Cornelio reported II to Nino.
Acting on Comedies advice, Nino
first sought an audience with the
Count Won Lira and asked him in
ceremonious fashion for permission
to marry Hedwig. The Count in fury
refused. Then Nino took his next
step.
Making use Of a hidden stairway
and door in the tumbledown castle,
he carried the overjoyed Nina from
her prison.
At once the Count learned OF his
daughters elopement, and set forth
in hot pursuit, vowing to recapture
her and Stay Nino.
But Nino and Hedwig hired sure
footed mules which carried them
safely up into the trackless noun
| tains where horses could not follow.
Thus they baffled pursuit and finally
reached a tiny mountain-top village.
At the village church they were
married. Then, having nothing more
| to fear from the Counts wrath. the
bride and bridegroom returned in
triumph to Cornelio.

Compensation for Time.
To the Editor Of Ths Evening WORLD:
It Is quite true that there Is urgent
need for economy In the management
OF the government and other af-
fairs of this country; but to my mind,
those who condemn the pending legis-
lation for the proper remuneration
| Of those who In time OF danger were
called upon to sacrifice their all for
their country are choosing the wrong
subject for attack. Those. who oppose
the proposed measures are scarcely
TO be congratulated on the character
OF their arguments.
The legislation is called a grab.
When this epithet is not used, the
proposal is said to be bonus" or
is called a pauperizing grant" or
"largess." The discharged soldiers
are told they are not fit candidates
for charity-that they are abundantly
able to earn their own livings. The
record of. the Pension Bureau is re-
ferred to, and II is asked whether
or not a moral slump has occurred
among the boys since they came
home.
This is not only highly insulting
but grossly unfair, The soldiers have
made no demands. The national gath
ering OF the legion avoided anything
savoring of dictation. All that has
been done Is to file with Congress
plea for justice.
Some 100000 of the young men oi
America left their homes and theiI
employment to enter the public ser
vice. The pay allotted to them was
$50 per month and board and main
tenance. As a matter of fact, wheI
various required deductions WERE
made, the soldiers commonly had re.

A BROADENED MARKET.

EPRESSION Of the Liberty Bond market is an
- encouraging symptom rather than the reverse.
II follows the successful sale of considerable issue
of Pennsylvania Railroad securities In fact the sue
cess of the Pennsylvania financing is probably in part
at least responsible for the lowering Of the price of
Liberty Bonds .5.oos
Liberty Bonds were advertised as the safest invest
ment in the world"
They were and they are.
The fluctuaton of the market does not in the slight
est affect their value as an investment Only the
sellers suffer- Those who keep the bonds may be
sure Of regular interest, payment of principal and
Gradual rise In the markets as the bonds approach
maturity. AT present rates Liberty Bonds are by just
20 much more attractive investment than when
tloated
The reason for the depreciation is that other choice
Industrial securities, such as the Pennsylvania has just
issued reflect the general trend Of price movements
in the increased interest rate.
Success of a railroad bond issue reflects the conf
dence Of the public in railroad and industrial credit
The bond market is looking up The predicted in
fluence Of the campaign of investment education
which floated the Liberty Loans seems to be material
zing in permanently broadened market for saft
bonds.

DESIRABLE HOME
BUILDING DESIGN
Attractive Nine-Room House
With PergoIa Porch.
PLANNED FOR LARGE FAMILY
Square House That Is Economical to
Build and Is Beautified by an Un-
usual Front Porch-Conven-
lently Arranged.
BY WILLIAM A. RApEoRp.

Mr.. William A. Radford win answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building. for the readers OF this
paper: On account of his wide experience
as Editor. Author and Manufacturer. he
10. without doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects: Address all inquiries
70 william A. Radford, No. 1897 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, I'LL. and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Combining beauty and low cost is
always the aim of architects. One of
the methods of accomplishing this
most desirable result is to take a
square home that is economical to
build because of its straight walls
and add an artistic porch.
This has been the method the archi-
tect followed in designing the brick
house shown in the accompanying IL
lustration. The house itself Is 80 by
40 feet 8 inches, without break in
the rectangle. However, the addition
of the pergola roof porch has made
this an unusually desirable home
building design. The roof Of the porch
Is set on colonial columns and brick
piers for the corners. Above, the hip
roof and its dormer window add to
the attractiveness of the home.
Nine good rooms are shown on the
floor plans for this house. Down
stairs there are living, dining rooms,
Kitchen and one bedroom; upstairs
are FIVE bedrooms, bath and sleeping
porch.
The entrance at one end of the
porch leads into a stair hall. To the
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1920-02-20

Also its columns and the pergola-
like roof permit of artistic vines that
enhance the general appearance of
the home.
There is a full basement under the
house for the accommodation of the
heating plant, the laundry equipment
and for storage. Likewise the shape
of the roof provides a good-sized at
tic, which also is used for storage, or
may be partitioned off into smaller
sleeping rooms, or playroom for the
children in bad weather.
Brick in some form or other was
one of the first materials out of
which houses were fashioned. Brick
houses have been found that date
back before the beginning of the
Christian era. They have many ad-
vantages that recommend them to-
day, as there has been as much prog
ress in brick manufacture as in
everything else.
Brick make substantial homes; the
sort that last generation after gen.
Grafton. They make a house that is
warm in winter and cool in summer,
the same imperviousness to cold ap-
plying equally well to heat. Besides
brick are made in a variety of colors
that enable the home builder to blend
them nicely and the finished structure
is colorful-warm and inviting.
1t has been said that home owning
makes a city or town more prosper
Gus than those in which the homes
are rented by the occupants. This is
good logic. as the home owner has ar
investment that makes him take ar
interest in the local political and civi,
affairs. Also he is a substantial mem
Der of his community-a man t.
whom many business opportunitie!
come that pass by the renter.
From all standpoints, it is good bust
ness to build ard own a home.

CRUSHING" NOT RUSSIAN"

The legendary passing of Russian
troops through the heart Of England
in the earlier stages Of the war, which
at the time kept the whole nation
eagerly weighing the probabilities, has
still to be authentically explained.
Sir Frederick Maurice's statement, in
the Morning Post of London, that it EN-
anated from the "silk-hatted station
master of Crewe," who twas once seen
in his shirt sleeves and said it was be
cause Russian troops were passing
through day and night" seemed con-
vincing until a contributor to the OBJ
server followed with another version
This was that the stationmaster in
question actually remarked that he
was "rushin' troops through day ant
night" Englishmen have doubtless
decided that there is now nothing more
to be said.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be Respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds Of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.
