ANNIE'S ELOPEMENT

(Copytigh}_, 1911, b'{ Associated L*srary. Press.)

. Anne Blair alighted at the Blithedale terminal, and waited impatiently until the trolley car, on which she had come, -had gone clanking back, towards the city. . ‘- Then she looked uncertainly up and down the lonely stretch of bush:bordered . country road, which_. ran-at right angles to the car track, following -the ' winding course of the Podunk river, - = -~ - “Now,. which d-irecti’c?r{:iid “Walter tell nle to take, I wondér?—she asked herself, puckering her brows in_ a frown-of perplexity. “I shall just have to .look at his letter again. It was lucky that [ thought to bring it with me.” - . o

Anne seated herself uperd a large log which was ‘lying conveniently by the roadside, and, drawing a bulky epistle from. her leather hand-bag, ran hurriedly ‘through its pages.: , ~ “Oh, here it is on the sixth page!” she-exclaimed at last = = | Then her frown deepened. e

“Why, he doesn’t say,” she gasped. “Isn’t that just like his thoughtlessness? He only says to follow the road until I come to a path.leading to the river; he will be there with a boat, or, if he .cannot come himself, he .will send afriend in his' place. Now, the question is; did he .mean me to go.up the.road or down the road? Well, as the choice seems to be left to me, I'lol try going down the road. I don’t dare remain here much-longer, for if father should have found out, there's no talling at what moment: -he may dome whizzing along in that new, high speed car of his. ..It's a pity the roads' between here and town are so good.” \;‘Fher'eupori.

her to thé riverside, where she im;ilgined Walter ‘ must ‘be impatiently awaiting ‘her,” and- her ears keenly alert. for the dreaded whir of an approaching motor cafr. S © “I'm° dlmost sure I've taken the wrong direction after all,” Anne complained ‘to the solitude. “Why couldn’t Walter fiave been more explictt? If I don’t come to that path soon, I shall have. to turn about andﬂo‘ back, and like as Rot walk straight into the arms of father—that is if he doesn’t run over me.before he ,recognizeLxée.”" , A few steps farther on, however, Anne fcarie to & path leading towards the river, which she -unhesitatingly took, though it proved decidedly un~pleasant walking. . . “I think Walter might have chosen a nicer place for me ‘to meet him,” she thought ruefully, as she stumbled over a treichei'ous stump, and barely “saved herself -from a fall. : A moment later Anne came out upon the river bank, but no Walter was in sight. - 5 e . Immediately, Anne’s anxiety increased tenfold. She could not help imagining all sorts of unpleasant possibilities as torwhy. Walter was. not there. What if her father had had ‘him arrested for ,contemplated kidnaping? = " Anne was on the point of sobbing aloud, when she caught sight of a ‘small. motor. boat approaching from across the river, and the world grew bright again, for, though the boat was so far away she could not actually tell, she never doubted but.that:its occupant was Walter . It took her but a short time to dis_¢over that the boat was headed for a \ point. much farther up spréaxh than \her present position. \ “I came the wreng way after all,”

Petrified Forest of Arizona

Trees Ark So Beautifully Preserved " That All Veins and Bark Can Be Plainly -Seen. : . s & The petrified trees in Arizona that are of red moss agate and amethyst and smoky topaz and agate are nearly or entirely| transparent and so beautifully preserved that all the veins and even the bark can be plainly seen. The hardened dewdrops of this enchanted wood, says the Raja Yoga Messgnger, are purple and amethyst apd topaz crystals, such as one trav‘eler found in the heart of an ancient ‘king of, the forest. s In an outlying part of the forest are different-flogs. -They are perfectly opaque and'tinted in soft browns and grays. 'The%are partly covered by a great deposit of limestone and strange bluish <lay, whose depth shows how many millions of years they have been “there. - o "~ The most striking part of the-forest 48 czited Chalcedony Park. Here is the*greatest ‘nuinber of petrified trees found in any onie place-n the world.

she wailed, as she waved her pocket Rhandkerchief frantically in _the almost hopeless effort to attract the attention of the occupant of the boat.. “Though how was. I to know there was more than one path?” -~ T Anne was seen, nevertheless, and the little boat ~'soon changed its course, and-came directly towards her.

At the same instant, to. complicate matters, Anne heard the unmistakable, though distant sound of a motor car approaching along the. road. . A dreadful-fear assailed her lest Walter and her father should meet, in this. lonely spot: Her father was a vigorous, "hot tempered man.. He’ had never liked Walter. 'What might he not do now in his anger?

| - Anne suddenly ~wished that Walter | was not quite 50,.0h, well, lady-like* and . namby.pamby—there : ‘wére no | other terms for it—though these were the qualities’ which had especially attracted her to him in the first place: It | hé were only more like Herbert Sargeant. He could have fought his own battles and hers, too.” And then the hot color flooded, her cheeks as she remembered “that’ it was - Herbert Sar--geant whom her father had desiredher to marry, and that it was on his ‘aecount “that Walter and herself had been forced into hasty action. -Oh, if-she had only lét the boat go {on its course unhindered. . | - But thdt wish was vai_n,‘-'for\while | Anne had been giving. way to her fears, the' motor boat, all unhéeded by ‘her, had.come close to the'shore, and a cheerful, familiar -voice now called out, I wasn't expecting to find you away down ‘here, Anne.” - ' Anne started,. - . ' With dismay, she saw that the occupant ‘of’ the boat was not Walter James, but, of all persons. in the ]_\vorld, Herbert Sargeant. _ “Were—were you-looking for me?” } she managed to stammer out incredi uleusly. - : s oo .

- “Who else?’ Herbhert laughed. . . A fdeling of intense relief swept ‘over Anne. She had not known before ‘that Walter and Herbert were friends —she did not quite” understand yet how - they could ge——-estill, since Herbert was here, everything must be all right. She had known Herbert all her life,,and she could trust him implicitly. “She knew-he would take care of hep v ) e The automobile passed on along the country road, unheeded and forgotten. . “Let ‘me help you into the boat,” 'Herbert commanded kindly, almost tenderly, springing lightly to her side, and Annhe obeyed- him ‘without queston. - - S “Why ‘could Walter not come him‘self?” she asked faintly.® Herbert looked at her pityingly. - Then he burst out: “Anne, how cquld you "carf; for that contemptible | {i&t eur?’ . . ° ANne stared at him, indignantly. ~ “Oh, I suppose youll Hate me for telling-you,” Herbert continued bitter- ‘ ly, “but I couldn’t bear to have anyone else know. Jim Grierson told me Walter James-had been asking all man‘ner of guestions about - how much money yecu had. I hunted the fellow }up, double quick, and after I'd told him you hadn’t a,cent but what your 'fath'e_r felt like: giving you, and he wasn’t likely to give you anything if ‘you married him, he showed that he considered he'd put his foot, in it, all. 'right,} ‘and he 'was 8o anxious to get i out, hej blabbed this whole: elopement plan.. . That’s ~ all, except that I lcouldh’t"leave vou to bear the shock of hi§ ‘not .meeting ‘you alone, so I simply had to»come:” 3 ““You didn’t hurt him?” Anne whispered, with white’lips. . “No,” Herbert said grimly. . . “Oh, I'm so,glad,” .Anne breathed. “I -wouldn't like to think you had demeaned yourself by touching anything so vile.” —~ . Then Anne blushed viclently, as she realized the full import of her impulsive Wwords. - ; ‘A veit seemed suddenly lifted from before her amazed eyes, and she realized that it was Herbert, and not Walter, whom she cared for all along. She had merely allowed a lifetime’s friendship for Herbert. to. blind her as to the real state 101’ her feelings. o . “Anne;” ;Herbert cried, eagerly, “do you really mean it? You know I have always cared for you. My mistake lay in telling your father before 1 told you. Suppose we go on with this ‘elopement? We can go straight to the minister’s.” e “We haven’t any marriage license,” Anne obiected. - demurely, as they stepped from the boat onto dry land. “We!d have to have one in this state, I know, because I looked it up.” “I did too,” confessed Herbert, as he sheepishly drew a papér ~ from his pocket and held it out to her. “Won’t father be surprised when we tell him,” was Anne’s only reply.

IRLS preparing for opera in Paris have got-to be comfortable. “That is why.we live In an attic.” They laughed glee- . fully as they told: it, two bouncing American girls from Kansas and Alabama, high-hearted, ambitious, bubbling with the joy of life, ~yet keyed down to the specialist’s: clearséeing intent by two or three years’ study in the French "capital. They have learned the need of money 'in lyric Paris.” Their experience is valuable to dreaming home girls. ‘ - "It has cost me all of $1,400 a year to cultivate my voice in Paris; and I live cheaply in an attic. apartment with a charwoman at 7 cents per hour to do the heavy work,” affirmed the Kansas young woman, while the Alabama girl has spent nearly $1,600 a year—"including .very few new gowns!” Both have tried every way of living -in Paris—to arrive at the mansard apartment and the charwoman. : Yok - Studying for opera in Paris is a long story. i { “I hoped to do everything in a year,” laughed the first. ‘I had worg(ed four years.at home. [ -expected to get the repertory I’ wanted in Paris—and hurry back. -1. have been here two years and have another vear before me, certain, perhaps longer.” : 1f the -work were all, it might be shorter; but three girls out of four lose half their time changing teachers. There’is no remedy for this; no suggestion to give newcomers. Hunting ‘“‘the right teacher” who can “locdte’” their vqices and push them at the same 'time is the problem of each individual girl. She must work it out for herself. . : ~ "You meet girls who have been working seven or eight years in Paris and done nothing K yet! There are 30,000 music teachers in Paris. 'And only {en-good ones.” “All of. which brings us to $7,000 for four years? voice preparation’and the ‘“‘comfort” that must characterize them. Of course there are professionals and semi-professionals who run to Paris and do a great deal of work in six months. We are not dealing with them. "Even the failures for lack of time and money go back to America and earn better pay singing in churehes and. teaching on the strength of their Paris training. We have nothing to do with them either. i -

“One year I lived on $1,200,” mused’ the southerner. “I was taking only twa singing l®ssons per week from — (here she named a famous name). I paid $5 per half-hour lesson in a class of three other giris. _ i "I was living in a pension boarding house for 7 francs per day—s 42 per month. That had to be paid reguldrly. The rest I took as regularly as the money. would permit. #There were two_singing lessons per week at $5 each; two French diction lessons per week with ‘a coach, at $1 each; two mise-en-scen (acting) Issons at $2 apiece; and $2 once a week with a German, learning Schumann and Schubert lieds! It would have brought me to $1,500 per year without cab fares, opera, theater, laundry, clothing, books, postage, hats, shoes, soap, music, text-books, rubber shoes, quinine, headache powders or pennies for the poor! I had to cut out some of the lessons. ; S

“Too many peoplé to bother you in a pension boarding house; too much time lost talking: too much secondclass society. People -are all “the time -going off to see the Paris sights. It s annoying to be asked and have to always refuse. In the evenings they ask you to sing. You never do, but you hate to reéfuse again.” “Agaln, there are too many congenial people at the American girlg’ clubs.” The girls’ elubs of Paris have the disadvantages. of a great pension, only more so. ‘They are immensely more luxurious and homey. ‘They present . great advantages. They are clean, smart, art-furnished, with steam. heat, baths, afternoon teas, librarfes, informatidn - bureaux, free medical attendance, entertainments, charming society—and all for $5 or $6 s§er week! . : ““But we quit them. [t was too congenial, too agreeable. Instead of hurrylng to my reom to work, I would stop in jthe sulons chatting with the girls. ’ o e ' Light Housekeeping. ~“From girls’ clubs to light house*{eeping, in Paris, is, thus a natural evolution. Two tiny rooms and a bijou kitchen. There is scarce space for tea table and piano. That chintzcovered divan is my bed. My companlon’s room, not having ‘the piano, contains our 'mutual, dressing table. Observe how the wall slants as it goes ‘up It is the mansard and makes the

rooms rather ‘warm, at times, in summer; but »the evenings are always .c‘ool and we do not have the excessive heat of' America in Paris.” ’ . .Cost of Li‘ving. : “With the charwomnian three times a week to clean up, it costs us about $5O per. month, $25 aplece, inciuding gas, rough laundry and the rent of the plano. We (have good steaks - and chops and an* American variety of fresh vegetables, warmth, light, leisure, freedom, silence—and pocket money! . el “The distances ‘are great in Paris; but we take cabs only when we are late for a $5 singing lesson, or when it .is stormy. One must not catch ccld—that is another ruin! Qur fine laundry costs us each 75 cents. per week—much chedper than in America. Our economies go to opera and theaters, cabs, music and books. - “And clothes? One must have & smart evening gown. and a fancy tailor for ‘afterncons, when invited out. That is all. For the rest, most American girl students come.to Paris to wear out their old clothes: I have been in Paris three years and still have somse of the things I brought with me. [ wear -them'still. Students are not expected to dress.”; S The-daily routihe of the songstress is full of pleasant activity. Care of her physique is ‘éf capital importance. Her chief cares are not to catch cold or grow fat. ¢ ° y On rising, the future Patti takes a tub—unknown object in the = Latin Quarter, though there is said to be one In the Boulevard Montparnasse, hut as the girl lives very retired, few have-seen it. Breakfast must be only a cup of coffee and a roll. Then you read the society columns of the Paris Herald, Mail and’ American Register—important to a girl whose life on the edge of high society becomes almost a business proposition. In the afternoon more singing.. = - The first concert is a great scheme: there are men students who repeat it annually. I confess, the girls employ it less. o ;

The onlygexpense is printing and Jmailing the complimentary tickets. You send.them broadcast to the rich and famous Americans, English, French, South ~ Americans,” Russians, Germans, Italians and Spanish of Paris—with the word “Complimentary” rubber-stamped in big letters. Such rich folks.are unwilling to accept, a “complimentary” from an unknown singer; but they think - you must_have met them somewhere, and hate, also, to throw back the ‘offered seaty In your face. Therefore they - mail you'a postal order for the price of each, $2—3%4 in all—and never attend your. concert. ) : ) Once a yvear the preclous voice must be heard by the real critics. For the meritorious, this long-dreaded, long-wished-for audition d’eleves is a consecration. The voice is heard by the critical Paris public. It is judged not only by critics, but by gathered im‘presarfos. After such a hearing the girl may be offered an immediate engagement in such a swell opera house as the Monnaie of Brussels, as I have” known to happen to. American girls nine times in the past ten years: ’ One reason"why our girls pay $5 apiece for half-hour lesons from the famous but. negligent old trainers who ‘recelve social callers in the class hour is that they make up for all neglect at their auditions, great functions, in which they have the power of drawing the elite of the profession. Less famous trainers—better, perhaps, for the voice—cannot get that crowd to.gether, : ' . Each student sings two pleces, and -into their rendering is put the training of long weeks. The hall is packed. The hour has come. One by one the. girls pass to the ordeal. And it is. finished. They have been heard. They have sung in Paris. Their performances will be noted at length in the ‘daily as well as the professional papars. The impresarios of all the world will know of them by magic.. It is to this sort of thing Paris owes its vogue as a voice . center. Fewer new operas are brought out in Paris Than In many a German city. Paris engagements. are notoriousl; ill paid. The Paris public does not love music. Some of the great trainers are Germans, some Italians, some'; Spanish. Yet they must teach in ‘Pa-rls. PRaris is the center for the cultivation of the voice; and it suffices. B il

Case of Interference. An odd case of “interference” came up recently in a game in the Southern league. Paul Sentell scored on a throw to the plate. He was safe and to spare, and as the ball came bougding in he "‘speared” it for-a joke Ad tagged himself with it, thus pheventing the catcher taking the tardy throw.

Christopher realizes that the time is approaching ~when he -will be compelled to retire.

ST. PAUL AS BASEBALL FAN Would Be Enthusiastic Rooter and At- ‘ tend All Games, Declares Rev. Dr. Young of Brooklyn. One Sunday in each year is devoted by Bedford Presbyterian church of Brooklyn to a sermon on baseball The services are held under tl\e auspices of the New York league of Y. M. C. A. baseball teams. This year’s servfce was held recently #nd the sermon was -delivered by the Rev. Dr. Edward Young. He told his hearers that St. Paul, if preaching in. America - this summer, would undoubtedly .be an enthusiastic fan and would attend’ the games. w 7 “Paul was an enthusiastic sportsman,” the preacher said. “So close was his friendship with the presiding officers. at the great games. of western Asia as.to excite their very active solicitude in his behalf when Paul seemed in danger—so Trecords the Book of Acts. He used athletic terms frequently, speaking of himself das ‘a runner and boxer and.figuratively applying. the term “great umpire of the skies” to his Master. . : “A bad time came to the bdll field a few years ago when betting and sold contests ‘ ruined the gamie, but now young men are here taught honor, the slightest infraction thereof being visited with exclusion from the field.”

Tenney tried to hold McGraw, but he broke _away, reached second and kicked the ball out of Lowe's_ hands. Stenzel swung his bat and hit Robinson on the hand trying to keep hiny from throwing. Robby tripped me and poked me in the back to Kkeep me from seeing and Stenzel spiked myfoot.” “How did you decide it?” was asked. *“I called it a foul ball, sent the runners back and kicked Stenzel on the shins,” said Tim. ! "Why Cleveland Don’t Win. ) Hughey Jennings explains the mys-. tery of the Cleveland club's failure to win more games with such heavy ar-tillery-as the team has to support the pitchers. Hughey the observant says: “Cleveland doesn’t know how to score runs when it gets the chance. It wastes opportunities, and its attack, for all its big caliber guns, is seldom concentrated and never timed with any forethought.” If a schemer of the Jennings sort had hold of the elub it would make -runs.
