erican League for Civic Improvement. With all the foregoing, widespread an genuine interest in a more beautiful Richmond; with doubtless much more that the writer does not know about; and, in the face of the many natural beauties of the town's situation which mutely appeal for reservation, and, in the face- of abiding, humiliating blunders, one would wonder why conditions remain year after year the same. It is surely not knowledge, or interest or enthusiasm that we need; for ail of these we have in a good measure. What we do need is only too evident. It is the glory of this wonderful democracy in which we are privilged to live, that when enough people want a better way, and want it fall-together," they can have it. What we need, then, is co-operative effort among all the people who are willing to work, for the beautification of Richomnd and the "higher life" of her citizens. A willingness to work together, to co-operate for the common good has made possible much excellent betterment work in other towns. It will come about here. Human nature is much the same with us as it is el?.owhere. We are not without our number of unselfish, devoted people. I understand there are already plans maturing to bring together all interested people for the purpose of organizing a civic improvement society. This would seem tle best possible beginning for work and the surest hope for the future city beautiful. Yours sincerely, Ella Bond Johnston.

HADLEY BROS. 14-2t POLITICAL. r , Committeeman Thayer, of, the sixth district, told a good story on himself yesterday. He stated that before the convention that dominated him at Connersville he was. fold that one county of his district, .had two factions, one for him and one against. For this reason he hesitated about entering the county, and did not do so before the county convention that nominated delegates to the district convention was held. After the county convention was held, a representative of one faction wrote to Thayer and told him that he was sure of at least one-half of the votes from that county. At the same time Thayer received a telegram from a represen tative of the other faction telling him that he would receive the solid vote of the delegation from the county. The two factions had been fighting each other tooth and nail only to make the discovery after their convention that they were both for the same man. Indianapolis Journal. (5 BOE!ES ACHE, EH?

I A RUNAWAY I PRINCESS

By Curr&n Richard Green ley Copyright, 1003, byT. C. McClure "It is useless, your highness, to protest against the things that are." The baroness smoothed down her laces with plump little hands upon which gleamed innumerable rings. Marie Amalie Constantia Louise "and ah the rest of it," as she said to herself. Princess of Doldrums, arose from her low chair with a most unroyal impatience. Swish, swish, went the silken skirts over the polished Coor, and the Baroness von Grief enstein wisely kept silenc-y. Marie Amalie stood at the window and drummed a tattoo upon the pane. Below, the little fountain tossed its laughing waters and the cuirassiers' band poured forth the national air. Marie Amalie was tired of fountains that played in the sunlight, tired of the national hymn, sick to the soul of the duchy of Doldrums and all it containedall because a few short weeks before the baroness bad taken her young charge with her train to the hunting schloss and then spent a glad, never to be forgotten day. Somehow nobody knows, for such things have a way of managing themselvesthe equerries and the princess' maids drifted two by two down the forest alleys In the languorous afternoon. The baroness nodded in her chair, and Marie Amalie found herself alone. When Marr Davent rode from the gasthaus that morning he drew long breaths of the forest freshness. For miles beneath the arching lindens of the duke's forest he rode at a walk, the reins hanging loose on the bay's neck, singing snatches of college gees and thinking of the faroff country whither he would soon be going. He raised his eyes and looked down the linden reaches looked and woke, so near that the bay reared in sudden fright. Then Davent slipped from the saddle and stood, hat in hand, as Marie Amalie came toward him through the green twilight. She did not attempt to excuse herself to herself, and to no one else did that imperious j'oung woman vouchsafe rhyme or reason for her deeds. It was temptation, pure and simple, at a time when the girl was sore, imbittered against the traditional shackles. A prisoned thing, bound and dumb in her jewels and laces, she had known the shame of the old roue's approval when he came to view her, as one would the points of a prize mare, and pronounced her fit to be Duchess of Grafsland. "Fit!" Marie Amalie ground her white teeth together at the remembrance of it. But she smiled with level brows into the brown eyes of Davent as the handsome head was bowed before her. and then trouble began for the Baroness Grief enstein. Two hours later th- parted under the lindens, he believing her some nobleman's daughter in the train of the young princess; she knowing all the facts about him. Marie Amalie came up the linden walk, thiriking deeply. An American, It suited her exactly. She thought of the yacht that lay even now at Havre; thought, too, of the doddering old Duke of Grafsland, who had buried his second wife not a year before, the pale, pretty princess out of the north, who had been sold to him, as tbey were Selling her. Marie Amalie went softly up the marble steps, through the portico and down the hall, her footsteps making no sound in the thick carpet. She drew back the portiere that bung In straight, heavy folds. There was a smothered cry from within, a rustle of paper, but before the baroness coirld close the drawer a white hand closed firmly upon her wrists. "What are you doing here among the private papers of Duke Fritz?" The baroness sank down, gasping, speechless, as Marie Amalie towered over her. Then the girl made a hasty examination of the drawer. The. key was in the lock. A fragment of was that adhered to the keyhole told the secret of the baroness' access to the papers of the young duke who had killed himself in that very room years before, when the Baroness Griefenstein had been a famous court beauty and Marie Amalie but a child in the cradle. Only a bundle of yellowed letters, written in the delicate Italian script affected by the women of that generation. Marie held them thoughtfully: then, with sudden impulse, retied the faded ribbon about them, locked the drawer and placed the key in her bosom. The letters she kept in her hand. With a slow smile around the mischievous red mouth, she passed through the portiere out into the sunlight. She held the key to the situation. . The Baroness Griefenstein was a sen sible woman. She knew herself at the mercy of the girl whom heretofore she had ruled relentlessly. Therefore, through the weeks that followed she temporized, telling herself that it was only for a time. In a month the girl would be safely married. Thpnj vervarious expeditions to the forest, evening walks, when only the baroness guarded the pretty princess. The joung American still lingered at the gnsthaus and rod & his bay through the duke's forest. Meanwhile the women came and went, intent upon the preparations for the . marriage. AH around the luxurious mom were scattered the silks and laces, .Jewels strewed the tables. And In their" midst Marie Amalie at the .window, her eyes upon the forest, heed

less of It all. A ao'3tman rode down the winding road and turned in the saddle for a long look at the palace. Some day he would ride from her forever to his land of "hearts content" over the sea, leaving her to the desolate pomp of the Duchess of Grafsland. She turned to the baroness, and their eyes met. The baroness shivered. The, crisis that she had been dreading had come. Marie Amalie leaned down, hushing her voice to a whisper, "I will do It, and you must help me." And the baroness knew that she would keep that word. The old duke, her father, could hardly believe his eyes and ears when Marie Amalie dutifully accepted her betrothal presents from the old Duke of Grafsland and even tent her white brow to his kiss. Through all the festivities that followed she moved, "a queenly figure, but there was a. wiked light in the brown eyes, a mutinous curve to the red lips, and the days of the Baroness Griefenstein were not days of pleasure. The Princess Marie Amalie lay in her darkened room. Once the doctor would have let in the light, but she protested, and finally he left her alone with a sleeping draft. As he measured it. going to the window with his back to the bed, a white hand flashed out toward the little case that held his drugs. Only an instant, but as the door closed behind him Marie Amalie laughed low to herself. The baroness was on the point of rebellion, when Marie Amalie before her protesting eyes poured a generous dose into the chocolate and bade her swallow It. "I am afraid. It will mean Imprisonment, banishment." "Take it" (the sweet voice was like steel); "take it quietly. The letters shall be yours when I am safe." The baroness drained the chocolate with quivering lips. Davent waiting with a closed carriage at the postern gate heard the click of the sentry's heels as the baroness came through the gateway. A long black cloak came down to her feet, but the tawny gray hair and the password were sufficient for the settry. : Without a word they entered the carriage and were driven through the night, past the gates, where the baroness gave the word, aboard the express, by grace of the promptly pro

duced passports. When the morning broke they were well away to Havre. The princess had issued orders that on no account were her maids to enter her room until summoned. But as the morning wore away and no sound came - from beyond the closed doors they Jbraved her anger and entered to find the princess' bed empty, unused, and in a chair by the window the Baroness , Griefenstein, with an empty chocolate, cup at her elbow, lost in a drugged stupor. There was much hurrying to and fro in the duchy of Doldrums, but of their Princess Marie Amalie there was never a trace. The little Lutheran minister blinked and hesitated. . But In the state of New York there is no Alamancha de Gotha, and, although Marie Amalie von Halsburg awakened an old sound In his ears of the fatherland, the suspicion seemed too. utterly Impossible to be entertained for a moment. So he went on with the ceremony, and Marie Amalie Davent passed from the shadow of the quaint little church out into, the free sunlight of a land that knoweth neither princess nor principalities A Mean Trick. A lawyer defending a promissory note went to lunch, leaving his books and citations on the table in the court room. The opposing counsel sneaked back into the room and changed the places of all his bookmarks. In the afternoon the lawyer, taking up his books, referred the court to his authorities. His lordship noted every volume and page carefully and took the case under consideration. In rendering his opinion he said: "I was inclined after hearing argument of counsel for defendant to nonsuit plaintiff, but I find, after referring to the authorities quoted by counsel, none of them bear on this case, and I am led to think that. the gentleman has been willfully trying to insult the court. He has referred me to an action of an Irishman who sued the proprietor of a monkey for damages for biting him, to a case of arson, one of burglary, two of petty larceny and three divorce cases, none of which bears on an action to recover on a pi'omissory note. Perhaps the grossest insult to the court is referring to 'Duckworth versus Boozy man,' an action charging defendant with breach of promise. Judgment for plaintiff with costs." The lawyer never knew what the matter was and to this day thinks the judge was out of his mind. rearson's Weekly. . " Tlie Way of the World. . "When we were poor." remarked the prosperous man reflectively, "we looked forward to the time when we could have a summer home. "Well?" "Well, when we got rtch enough to have one. we didn't like going to the same -place every summer because it was monotonous, and we looked for-' ward to the time when we could have another for variety." "Well?" "Well, we got another, and then we began to long for a winter place, so that We wouldn't have to be so much in the big house in the city." "Well?" "Well, we've pot them all now!" "And are you happy?" ( "I suppose- so. At least. I snppose my wife is. She' keeps them all shut up and spends inost of her time in Europe, but she knows she has them." Chicago Post. M '"

II., was crowded tonight by an audience that was farily enraptured of Jacob Riis' story of " Tony's Hardships." This famous New Yorker, whom President Roosevelt termed the most useful citizen in New York, was engaged last spring1 for the Tilton and Northfield Woman's club to give one of his lectures, and not only the club members but citizens of the encommunity and surrounding towns had for weeks been eagerly awaiting tonight's lecture. Delegations were present from Franklin, Lacpnia, Lakeport, Ashland, Meredith .-and other places, and all feltf repaid for comingManchester (N. II.) Union.
