may be found events, described in crisp news paper style, that would tax the ingenuity of fiction writer. Newspaper "stories" run the gamut from tears to laughter, from the sublime to the ridiculous.
 For instance, is there piece of fiction in any of the current magazines that has more genuine human interest" than the war TO- nance of Count Rienzi, member of an Aus trian noble family; an American woman and her American husband, who is also a war hero? The strange tricks played on these three persons by fate are recorded in dis patch from Boston.
 When America entered the World war, Ve- ronica Bess Goodhue was married to Paul H. Goodhpe, the son of a millionaire manufac- turer of New Jersey Later he was reported missing in action" After waiting for months without hearing from her husband Mrs. Goodhue believed him to be dead The count arrived in this country and met Mrs. Goodhue He was a cultured man of the world and his friendship with the widow soon resulted in their marriage.
 Paul Goodhue had been taken from shell crater. Shell shock caused him to forget his identity. Sent back to America he was finally discharged from hospital, but still did not know his name. Goodhue attended a dinner dance in Boston. The Count and Coun- tess Rienzi were among the guests. When the countess saw Goodhue she screamed and tainted. Facing his wife, the count said "You still love him?' q do,' she replied. "Then you shall have him back again." said the count, and shortly afterward had his mar riage annuled.
 On the stage or in book this climax might strike one improbable. Anything hap pen in life. Presumably, the couple are re- united and happy, but if the count played in hard luck, he proved himself every inch nobleman.

MANY MERGER RUMORS
 FROM THE EAST

Seldom a week passes but the securities mar ket in New York develops rumors of proposed consultations of industrial properties in the They are seldom traceable to anything of tangible nature. The rumored combinations take all sorts of forms and vary from day to day.
 The mere fact that these reports are so frequent in the financial center of America, where expert brains are keen to take advan- tage of opportunity, is proof to the district that it's properties are regarded as extrmely valuable in the eyes of those who know and study American industry at large.
 One of the chief iron-making concerns of the district, itself a merged concern, is one of three composing the latest steel merger, the North American Steel company. Special at tention has been called to the advantage of a southern end by the proponents of this mer- ger in advertising the securities of the new organization.
 The Steel Corporation came to Alabama m 1907 and has made this it's exporting center of operations, in addition to which it has found itself on the ground floor in the remarkable increase in the consumption of steel products in the south, the southwest and the Pacific coast.
 Exhaustive surveys of Alabama properties have been made by experts and placed in the hands of large capital in the east. Tentative plans for acquisition and merger of southern coal, iron and steel are continuously under consideration, and more overtures for their disposal are being made than the public is aware of.
 Anything may happen at any time. It is a dead sure shot that eventually there will be large mergers, but none can say when.
