THE KISS
How It Made, a Man's. Fortune
and What Followed.
By THEODORE. BROWN,
t Copyright, 1910, by American Presi Asso
ciation. Three students were walking on the
ramparts of Copenhagen. Two of tbem
were , wealthy noblemen. The third
was a young man of promise, but with
no fortune, a necessary adjunct In 'old
countries for assisting one to a career.
The commoner was telling bis friends
of his desire to make something of
himself and his Inability to do so with
no means at bis command.
"I must go abroad," he said, "see
other countries, mingle with other peo
ple. Here we are all frozen up like a
glacier and move just about as fast."
"And ' what will - yon be If yon go
away?" asked one of bis companions.
"I don't know. I shall at least have
an opportunity for development."
The two noblemen were more- Inter
ested in a lady sitting at a window on
the other side of the street bordering
the ramparts doing .some kind of em
broidery than in the aspirations of
their companion. If they desired a ca
reer there were plenty of avenues open
to them by virtue of their rank, but
their desire was rather to partake of
he sweets ot life attainable by means
of their fortunes, it was not remark
able that their eyes should be on the
lady at the window, for she was
young and comely. She had withal an
Interesting face, bespeaking a kindly
nature, and modesty was stamped on
every feature.
"Poul," said one of his friends, "do
rou see that ' Madonna face over
there?"
"Yes." -
. "Well, if you will get a kiss from
those red lips we will defray the ex
penses of this foreign tour you are so
anxious to make.
"Do you mean that?" asked PouL
Both his frjends agreed that If he
could get the kiss willingly, not by
force or trickery they would furnish
the required means.
Poul looked long and earnestly at the
lovely falce, then suddenly started for
the bouse in which tbe girl sat The
window was on tbe ground floor, and
the two friends saw him go and stand
before It, hat in hand. The girl raised
the sash, and tbe young men saw that
Poul was telling ber of their offer with
its provision, for she looked up at
tbem while be spoke. Then she drew
him toward the window and gave bint
kiss. :
" Tfie" noblemen ?kept their word, and
the commoner we nt abroad.
It was some yea rs after this Incident
that a distinguished army officer was
recalled by the klngfrom a distant
station to Stockholm to receive the ap
pointment of adjutant general, which
meant chief of staff, or. In other words,
commander la chief of the army.
General Lo venom was the recipient
of a great deal of attention. He was
unmarried, and many a young girl of
Copenhagen "Bet her cap for him, for
he was a bachelor and in his prime,
belne not yet forty years old. Even
daughters of noblemen were "thrown
at his head," but he would have none
of them. One day while riding on
horseback, with a couple of orderlies
behind him, he passed a lady In a car
riage who especially attracted his fa
vorable attention. She was at an age
Jusif before women usually pass from
youth to middle age.
General , Lovenorn returned to nis
quarters to dream of the tody who had
thus impressed him. Courted though
he was. a trusted servant of the King,
admired for his ability and courage,
yet there was a void In his heart that
needs to be filled in the heart of every
man and every woman. For the first
time In his life he had seen one whom
he thought capable of filling that void.;
The next day . he rode over tne
ground he hod traversed before and at
the same hour, hoping that ne migui
again meet her. But he was disap
pointed. He would have sougnt ner
out, but there was no distinguishing
mart by which he could describe net.
In vain he looked for her In the gaj
throngs of young people In the parks,
nt the theaters, at balls, siontns
passed, flaring which be treasured a
vision he had seen but once. Instead
of diminishing, bis monomania, as he
called It, Increased. Beautiful women,

ENTHUSIASTIC t AOB."
not mowing of bis predisposition, con
tinued to try to charm him, but be lis
tened to what they said without hear
lng and to their efforts gave no re
sponse. Finally at a social meeting of a sci
entific association while strolling with
a lady qa his arm he came face to faca
with the .subject of bis dreams. He
would have left bis companion to fol
low the unknown bad that been ad
missible, but since it was not be was
obliged to content himself by asking
who she was. - He learned that her
name was Ingeborg Vlnding; that she
was not known In society, ber family
not being noble; that she bad a .fine
mind, but, owing to a retiring dis
position, did not assume that promi
nence to which her endowments enti
tled her.
General Lovenorn as soon as be was
free from attendance upon the lady
who gave him this Information lost no
time In securing an Introduction to
Ingeborg Vlnding. He passed tbe rest
of the evening with her and received
permission to call upon her.
There was curiosity on tbe part of
several women who bad each set her
cap for General Lovenorn when be
was conspicuous for his absence from
the next notable social function. When
two or three of such affairs had passed
without his being present curiosity
had grown into alarm. When It finally
began to be whispered thnt tbe gen
eral was devoting himself to a lady to
whom royalty bad not given a ticket
to the court circle alarm gave way to
consternation. When he was seen at
the opera with the lady who had un
consciously occasioned this disquietude
necks were craned and lorgnettes were
leveled at the couple from the circle
where sat the aristocracy of Copenha
gen.
General Lovenorn asked Ingeborg
Vlnding to be his wife. The manner
with which she received his declara
tion was a puzzle to him. There was
not that heartiness In her reply which
be had Levied for. He felt toward ber
a certainty of bis wn feelings which
did not nrtet with a response. lie
knew that she was the only woman he
bad ever jrlsued to marry and was
disappointed that she should have
doubts as to ber wish to marry him.
I must ask for time," she said, "In
which to consider so important a deci
sion."
Days passed, during which the woo
er's fate bung in tbe balance. At last
she sent for htm.
' "There is but one thing," she said,
"that separates me from you. Tears
ago, when I was In tbe first freshness
of youth, J met a young man to whom
I gave my heart He did not enter into
my life.- Our acquaintance was tbe

Great Events For
Enterprise "Fans"
Grande H. 8. and W. C
H. 8.
Friday and Saturday Big
Game 8unday.
There are great events la store for
the Enterprise fans. Friday and Sat
urday of this week the La Grande
High School team will meet the
Wallowa County High School team,
at Enterprise In a series of two
games, and the publio Is promised a
good entertainment for . the two
days. The Wallowa County High
School team Is the aggregation that
defeated the Lostlne team here last
Saturday by a good margin, and the
local boys are confident over the
outcome of the future games.
Perhaps the big game of the week
will be that of the Joseph team and
the Enterprise city team, Sunday.
The Enterprise boysi have Just re
ceived the new suits, and the Sun
day game will be the Introduction of
the team decked out in the new
"Urimmlngs."
Last Saturday's Game.
. The game on Saturday between
Va!iowa County High school and
Lostlne High school was an extreme
ly creditable exhibition of the na
tional game. It was won, bv the
County high, but their defeat brought
no discredit to the Lostlne boys, who,
considering their lack of training,
p it vp a strong game. .
' While the local boys- played well
tad (kserved the'.r victory, the prin
cipal part of the credit belongs- to
Cramer, who pitched In big league
lj!e. Cramer promises to be' the
find of the season. He bad! every
thing a pitcher needs, Including al
most perfect control. In- the first
Im ing he retired the side with seven
olidied balls. In the second inning
he struck out Fleener with four
pitched balls and Immediately follow
ed it up by striking out Leonard
with the same number. In the ninth
Inning he retired the side with four
pitched balls, " In the nine - Innings
neither a .wild pitch nor a base on
balls was charged to him. Wilson
caught a good game, although the
ateadine3s of Cramer made his work
easy. Of the other players, Ault at
second and Vest In left, starred. Of
the Lostlne boja, Cook caught a
very creditable . game, considering
the extreme wildness of Haun, and
Sumpter, at first, was a star.
The rune came this way: In the
second Inning, after Jackson had
struck out, Wilson singled' to right,
went to third on a wild pitch and
scored ' while . Bauer was being
thrown out from Read to Sumpter
In the third, Craig singled to left
reaching second when Hammack let
the ball go through hte legs, to the
fence, and directly afterwards went
to third on a passed bait. Haun at
this Juncture very accommodatingly
passed both Casey and Vest and in
terspersed his work with a couple ot
wild pitches, - on which both Craig
and French scored. That was all
until the fifth Inning, when two bases
on balls ana tnree wua yucuen
3core'd Craig. French and Vest,, wblch
ended the scoring for the game
Lostlne got Its run in the third.
After two were out, Cook singled to
Iht and kept on to tnird wnen
Baur let the ball get away from hlnl
Haun' followed with another into the
same territory, on which Cook
scored, Haun1 being thrown , out at
second, being relayed there by wu
son after it had reached home too
late to .catch Cook at the Plate. The
score follows:

How awful 'twould be to live at the pole,
With no back yard but an Icy shoal
And no front lawn but a big, deep hole
Atathe pole!
Nowhere to get your breakfast roll.
Nowhere to buy a load ot coal.
Nowhere to so for a pleasant stroll
. . . At the polel .
Nowhere to sit on a grassy knoll
Or the mossy side of a fallen bole
And Idly loaf and Invite your soul
At the polel
Doesn't It seem a little droll T
There's nothing to do but to enroll
Tour name upon fame's glittering; scroll
At the pole!
