FOREST GROVE PRESS, EOREST GROVE, OREGON. THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1913. HER SCHEME FAILED. Plight of a Singer Who Yearned to Captivate Ludwig II. Klnir Ludwig II. o f Baratia had a wonderful winter garden at Munich, whu-b was built on the roof of the renldeux There wue aleo an artificial lake with a painted panoramic back- «round of the Himalaya mountains, and when the klug oat In the garden a “ property" nioou abed Ita gaseoua light above the «now capped peaks. The kin« used often to command art ists from the theater to perform In the winter «ardena. and 1 remember the fate which befell Josephlna Rchefaky. a large, tall womnn, whose one wlab In life was to attract Ludwig's notice. Aa all gingers sang hidden behind screens. Josephine's chances o f meet ing the king fnce to face were exceed ingly small. But wbat woman la ever at .: loss for nn expedient? She knew how chivalrously romantic I.udwlg could be on occasions, so she decided she would fall Into the lake and en treat him to rescue her. The eventful evening arrived. Joae- pbtua warbled her sweetest for the benefit of the listening monarch and when the song was over plunged heuvlly Into the lake. There was a tremendous noise, and the water splashed to the topmost summit of the “ Himalayas.” but the lady reiualued chin deep In the lake, whose still wutera were not so deep as they looked. “ Save me. save me. T-ohengrln!” cried the agitated singer. The king rang the bell, “ (let that woman out of the lake and send her home.” he commanded, and the drip ping Josephlna. sadder and wiser, walked out of the water and out o f the -exideux forever.—Countess Marta La- rlsch OROTHY was rather fond of asserting that she was a new woman. Like most who make that claim, she was much giv en to Tain repetition. She need not have been. Not even the sourest, sharpest tempered spinster of them all could hav# accused her o f being an old D woman. Dorothy's “ newness." to use the word I d Its technical sense, troubled Jack sorely. Jack wns not at all a new man. If the new type lx to be the proto type o f the new woman. Not that Jack was exactly venerable either. It would probably be some years before be wax bald or toothless. Jack could not underxtand Dorothy’s .mddeii aggressive Independence. He did not see why any reasonable girl should prefer to wait ou herself and soil her dainty fingers when there was a great. Inxy fellow uround who asked nothing better of fute than to be al lowed to wait o d her all the days of Ills life. Time was, and not so very long ago either, when Dorothy hml shown a most delightful readiness to accept bis services. Of late, however, a change bud come over the spirit of her dream. The dream now. nud to Jack It seemed a nightmare, was of In- dependence. Just before Dorothy and her family had left town for the summer, when Jack had come to say "goodby” and something more—to offer her a heart that wns absurdly henvy at the pros pect o f four long, weary months with- out her—she had been so full of this spirit o f Independence—the spirit of ’7fl she liked to call It—that he had gone away with the something more unsaid, telling himself Impatiently that the girl had no use for her own heart, looking upon It as quite an un- necessary encumbrance, and would cer tainly not want his. Thnt was In the end of May. Now It was the 1st o f July. Jack had written 10 Dorothy ouce or twice; had bad one W . F. HARTRAMPF Feed Mill will run every day in the week.

They held meetings, made speeches, “ read copy" to each other. Jack said, for Jack was a newspuper man—a "Journalist" Dor othy called It. Dorothy's letters to Jack had been unpleasantly suggestive o f “ copy" prepared for some paper de voted to the Interests of the comln; woman. The only one thnt had beer at all satisfactory was the last, urginv him to accept her mother's Invitation to come out «ud s|>end the Fourth with them. Aud lack, remembering bow be bad first met her a year ago. whei spending the Fourth with one of he1 warm weather neighbors, hoping tha abe. too, remembered, accepted with Joy. Poor, misguided Jack! He had ex pected the same sort of day they bail had last y ea r— a morning spent i' scorching his fingers and burning hole> in his trousers while setting off fire cracker« with bar small brothers and sisters; an afternoon o f blissful idle ness o d the lake; an evening of t h e conventional summer resort sort—fire works early In the evening, dancing later on. broad verandas, moonlit gar dens—all that sort of thing. •That was wbat he exi>ectad. This Is what happened: He found a very superior Dorothy, who considered the firing o f crackers an infantile pastime, fit only for weak Intellects; who made sarcastic com meats about people who were “pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw;" who. when the children hod him fast In their toils, went off with an un pleasantly strong minded looking book under her arm. "anywhere out of hear ing of this detestable racket;” who In the afternoon did not care to venture ou the lake, for there was a storm com Ing up. and. moreover, abe had a "pa per" to prepare: who tn the evening when be mildly snggested strolling over to watch the fireworks, advised him to wait nntll woman achieves her Independence, and then there will be some fireworks worth seeing, ant. who Hunouuced her Intention In the meanwhile of celebrating Independence day by attending a meeting of new women In the loft of a neighboring barn, wfiere certain modern Patrick Ilenrys In petticoats were to be gath ered togethegMo assure each other that, failing to secure liberty, they were ready to welcome death. Poor Jack' He was blind. Indeed. He did uot see that this "senseless ness,.'' ns be was mentally calling It. was nine-tenths of It put on to tease him. Driven to desieratlon. he even offered himself ns her escort to this meetiug. She was quite able to take care of herself. She would go nloue. Aud she went. Aud she found it ail Intensely stupid, almost as stupid as Jack bud been in taking tier at ber word when she declined his escort. She found that instead o f listening to the ringing cries o f lilierty or death she wus hearing only the squeaking of the fiddles over at the club, where, the fireworks over, dancing bad begun. She caught herself woudering which of the girls Jack was duudng with. Was It that dreadful Katharine Blake, who hud tried so hard to get up a flirtation with him Inst year? Or pretty Florrie Blackwell, for she was pretty In an iuuuimute. wax doll fashion? Or that fascinating little Mabel Mortimer, who seemed to captivate every man she met ? Thou she wns called upon to read the ;>a|>er that she had pre|>ared that aft ernoon whet) she would so much rather have gone sailing with Jack, it wns a j commonplace little paper, but because she was in hitter mood she rend It with a bitterness thnt wou her audience. That was the right spirit. said the next speaker. Men should be made to con sider well tbe voice of tbeir complaint. They should be no more able to close ! their ears to It tliuu to the nightly re verberations of the thunder that now seemed to shake the very earth. The storm which had threatened all day had broken now. Little o f tills was heard. The terrible voice o f tbe storm without drowned j the voice o f the mere woman within If It had been heard It is doubtful whether it would have been heeded, for these new women were after all very like the old women—they were terribly frightened. Finally there came a flash that seemed to burn into their very souls ami shrivel them to cinders, followed by a clap that made them think that tbe globe itself was split ting; a smell of smoke, of burning wood, o f sulphur In another minute they knew that tlie barn was on fire. A wild rush for the ladders and crooked stairs followed. Fortunately Dorothy's new womanhood did not de sert her at a pinch. She kept enough of her wits about ber to know that she must not Join In the stampede. She must keep perfectly still until Jack came for her. She knew It would be Jack that would come for her. She had not long to wait, though afterward she would have told you it wns en eternity, before she heard Jack's voice shouting. "Dorothy! Dorothy! Where are you? Don't be frightened. It’s Jack. I'm coming to you." As she answered his call she remem bered that he had never before called her “ Dorothy." never before had taken It for granted that she thought of him as "Jack." "ml she knew that so long as they botu should live It would al ways be "Dorothy" and “Jack" be tween them In future. Later on. when she stood with him watching the village fire company put ting out the flames, she realized that Independence day wns over. But she did not regret It. She had been too close to dent to clamor for liberty.— Chicago News. Take Your Coupon Book T O The leading and enterprising firms with whom we have arranged to redeem Press Coupons.
