At the end of this vault of ver-

through the frame Of a glass door
/ saw coming towards US her whom
I had made the innocent genius of
this strange place, q thousand
times more beautiful that I had be-
fore imagined her, or been able
to see that she was.
The delightful creature whom l
saw smiling before me seemed like
a princess of one of those Arabian
Nights whom some kind of evil or
protective genius had made pris-
oner in the depths Of an enchant-
ed palace accidentally discovered
by me. Graceful and white, with
those wondrous golden locks, her
transparent blue eyes like the
depths Of glaciers, she came to-
wards US, greeted me with
queenly smile and presented her
brow to Avery who kissed it.
I heard the maiden murmur:
GOOD evening Father" This
beautiful charming fairy creature
was the daughter of this man of
implacable will, and in whom /
was not long in finding the tend
crest Of fathers, most concerned
about her health, which he believ-
ed in a precarious state. Parting
her golden hair with his dry hands
this ruler Of men looked into
Bella's delicate face and asked her
in anxious tone: "How do you
feel, my child?" She treasured
him with a nod of her head, and
careless expression of eye, turning
all of her curiosity towards me,
while I noticed on her fathers
brow that irritated wrinkling in
which there was more Of anger
than sadness. It seemed as 10 there
was something of resentment that
the sweet creature could suffer in
meeting the will of the King Of
Gems. But apart from this impa-
tient irritation, under the sweet in
fluence Of Bella Avery was an
other man; he was almost gay, led
the conversation with tact, warn
ing me to quick interruptions, not
rudely of what should be avoided
in speaking in the presence OF the
young girl. I had to understand
at last that Bella liver in Aeria
without knowing its history, not
knowing the imminent complica-
tons of the fabulous adventure be-
meath which she was living in a
solitude that was possibly required
by her extreme sensitiveness, but
which was little oppressive it l
might judge by the eagerness with
which she welcomed the guest OF
the evening. "You will dine with
us Of course?" She asked her
father with a supplicating air,
Avery left the reply to me and
you may be sure that fastened
to accept. As for me, the pros
pect of a few hours to be passed
near that gracious maiden was
great joy Of rarest charm after
that long contact with Rassmuss'
Hartwig and Kositch. Instead OF
the harsh, ferocious voices Of those
demons I was now to be charmed
by the musical, even tones Of Bel
la, above that atmosphere Of few
erish aggression, breathing the cir
Of sweetness and peace floating
in these gardens-what a dream of
repose and refreshment.
Avery himself seemed to feel
the influence and to be willing to
surrender himself to vagrant talk,
and as I saw him walking under
the trees by the side Of a beauti-
full girl who was his daughter

OPEN LETTER
To THE PUBLIC

In making our appeal for help to
build the first mi OF a house OF wor-
ship in tho city OF Casper. we desire
TO urEe-our claims from a moral. civic
and spiritual STANDPOINT.
The absolute need of these centers
of wholesome influence. and religious
instruction is generally conceded. Cas-
per is fast growing into metropolitan
proportions. but the churches are be.
ing o-utdistanced in the race, They
give Casper a black eye to every Wis
itor and newcomer.
Here in the heart OF the greatest
wealth producing enterprises in the
world. and where thousands are flock.
ing every year. the churches have no
civic nor relative standing at all. We
have great halls and are proud OF
them. The Masonic temple. and Elks
home. are a credit TO the city. and
will be for some time. The school
buildings are OF the best in the land.
The homes are as beautiful and at
tractive as any city could wish. The
hotels viii soon equal the best. The
business houses are of highest order
and improving every day.
But the churches. God pity them.
The Roman Catholic church ia the
only building worthy the cause IN the
city. and II these people were building
today. they would build twice as large.
They are now compelled to have sew.
eral morning services to accommo.
date their worshippers.
Grace English Lutheran church got
n late start and must make up for
lost time. 1t has a constituency OF
several hundred families nearly all OF
whom are young. Industrious. and
law abiding citizens Just getting
started in life.
Then the United Lutheran church
OF tho United States is putting s2o,o 0C
foreign or outside money into Casper
to help build a church that will be an
ornament TO the public buildings OF
the city,
1t Is o these broad and urgen,
grounds that we come to the good cit
liens OF Casper for a little assistance.
The drive begins today.
