An Unromantic
Love Story
By SADIE OLCOTT
Ed wlu Thorpe bad been brought up
with bis cousin. Helen Wllliuartb, tbe
daughter of bis mother's brother, who
had been taken Into the Thorpe family
when she bccaaii) au orphan. When
the two were grown Mrs. Thorpe, who
was then n widow, wus possessed of >
fortune. One day wben ber son was
about to start ou n tour she said to him:
"It Is time, Ned. that 1 should take
thought as to the disposition of my
property. It wus accumulated by your
father, who left It to me. expecting
that 1 would leave It to you. Helen
has been brought up as oue of our
family, uud I would like to divide it
between you. but I feel It Incumbent
upoD me to leave It oil to you. Thero
Is a way. however, by which you could
relieve me of the embarrassment"
"How la that, mother?"
"By winning ber for your wife."*
Ned Thorpe bad never thought of bis
cousin lu this light Both sexes seem
to prefer to mate with some one tbey
know nothing about than one they
know all a tout This Is a requisite of
romance. At any rate, without know
ing It this was exactly the view he
took of the matter. Krom a boy be
bad bad his dreams of some beautiful
girl whom he should And In a bower of
rosea, who should greet him wltb a
blush and a smile and after be had told
his story should confess that she bad
been dreaming about bis counterpart
since she was a child.
For tbls reason be received his moth
er's announcement coldly. Ho was
very fond of his cousin, whom he bad
regarded rather as a companion than
a future wife, but his mother's sug
gestion wns rather too businesslike to
commend Itself to one who bad bad
sucb romantic dreams of tbe girl be
should love not only on earth but
through eternity. So he told bis moth
er that he would think about It and
nothing would give bliu greater satis
faction tha|i to meet ber wishes.
He was gone six months, (luring
which the Indjr of the bower of roses
did not np|Hnr. The girls bo mot were
all flesh ami blood of no ordinary tex
ture, some of them possessing unnt
tractive traits and some of thorn be
ing positively disagreeable. Tho only
person be saw during his tour. It Is
true, he tlrst saw In a bower of rose*,
but she arose therefrom In a dress
cut very low above and very high bo
ncnth. and pirouetted out toward the
footlights before an audience of n thou
sand persons. His Imagination was
captivated, but not his common sense.
At last he returned to his home,
thinking that since he would please
his mother by marrying his cousin and
he had tired of trailing for the lady In
the bower of roses to appear, he would
consent to bis mother's plan. Indeed,
bo admitted that it was a good plan.
Be did not like the idea of taking all
the family belongings to himself and
he didn't like dividing them between
himself and some one else, lie much
preferred that It should be Helen'* as
well as his own.
Helen bad Improved during his ab
Hence. having passed out of what to
some girls Is an awkward age. She
received him with the accustomed wel
come, and his resolution received n
new Impetus As voou as he was alone
with his mother be said:
"Mother. I've come home with the
Intention of acceding to your wishes
In the matter you spoke about to mc
Just before I went away."
"What matter?"
"Why. In reference to Helen and I
Inheriting the family fortuno as one."
"Oh. I remember, now you speak of
It That plnn fell through Immediate
ly after you left us 1 broached It to
Helen, and she said that on no ac
count would she accept an Inheritance
that your father had accumulated and
Intended should go at my death to his
son. She Is now studying to be a
teacher Rut she won't have to teach."
"Why not 7" asked the young man.
taken quite aback by the turn In the
affair.
"Well, a certain man Is attentive to
her whom It Is supposed she will
marry."
"Supposed! Don't yon know?" ex
claimed Thorpe, getting up from his
seat thrusting his hands Into bis pock
ets and striding back and forth on the
floor.
"Only Helen knows, my dear boy.
Rut what means this change In you?
When 1 proposed this union you did
not appear to fancy It."
"Well, supposo 1 didn't I've sot my
mind made up to It, and now I And
t're made It up for nothing. It Isn't
treating a follow right"
Mrs. Thorpo was looking at him oat
of a corner of her eye. She did not
seem at *11 hurt at his utterances. On
the contrary, she seemed to be endeav
oring to conceal satisfaction.
"Well, dear," she said presently, "I'll
send her In to yon and you can settle
It with her."
When Helen appeared the young man
laid to her:
"Helen, why hare yon upset this plan
of my mother's to"?
"To what?'
"Well, that my father's fortune
should be kept Intact Mother says
that you"?
"Ned, whatever mother asks of me
goes."
"Docs itr
"Ves."
"Same here."
This was the beginning; no romance,
oo bowor of roses, no cooing. Wrong;
thero was cooing, but It began whore
this story leave* off.

Horo's l>o last story on the 'Houn
Duwg' song, and It comes to Skag
\va/ via no less distinguished a nar
rator than Dodle Caufleld, youth
ful star of thee Juvenile Boston lans,
who haa the temerity to sing the
dolorous ballad of the Missouri
canine no longor ago thau last June.
The why and tho wherefore of
Miss Canfleld's daring were that
the place of singing was tho Palace
of Queou Lllluokalanl, In Honolulu,
and that shQ was tho very first sing
er to introduce tho Champ Clark
varsong to tho Island region. It
earned a tremendous hit, others of
the company say, but that is not
MIsu Canfleld's story, which Is:
Aftor the well-known air had gono
the roundB for a brief week In the
islands the natives plckod it up.
The tune became epidemic In their
villages and spread with the rapidity
Hi. persistency of the Manila itch.
Any day, to th* plunk-plunk of
ukulelt? ? queer guitar-like native
Instruments ? could be heard a hun
dred times the chanted Hawaiian
truuslation of tho Ozark folksong.
Fiuully tho newspapers took their
inning, each telling a different his
tory and sourc of origin for the
song. Only one, however, lived
true to the traditions laid dowu by
the great palladiums of the United
States which had so busily gone ov
or the ground a year before. This
journal one morning very solemnly
explalni-d that in tho Missouri ballad
of anonymous composition had been
recognized by a Honolulu anthrop
ollat a familiar folksong of past
nges composed by a princess of a
long-forgotten nativo Hawaiian tribe
He estimated It to be 800 years old.
"And there I was" said the little
tomlc opera queen "pluming myself
for being tho first to Introduce Is

Ins ?ult of A. N. C. Treadgold a
galnst Peter Rost, Involving 150 Do
minion crook placer cliams, has
been a UI?<1 out of court. The
action Involved the sum of $258,000
and was ono of the heaviest and
most Important ever undertaken in
respoct to Klondike properties.
The terms of the settlement are
not made public, but It is understoo
the proposition for settlement came
from the Treadgold side which lost
in the Yukon court in the trial held
last summer before Mr. Justice Ma
caulay. The case was on the cal
ender for hearing before tho British
Columbia appeal court, where J. H.
Pattullo, K. C., formerly of Daw
son, represented Mr. Rost, and F. T.
Congdon, K. C., of Dawson; E. 1'.
Davis K. C. and Charles McDonald,
at Vancouv?jr, represented Mr. Tread
gold. In tho trial In Dawson Mr.
1'attullo and J. P. Smith re
presented Mr. Rost, and Mr. Pattu
llo and Mr. Mucdonald represented
Mr. Treadgold. C. W. C. Tabor re
presented tho Dominion Mining
company, which was Incidentally In
terested In the action.
The claims Involved He botweon
ten above discovery and tho mouth
of Gold Run on Dominion creek.
Now that the action is settled, li
may bo that Mr. Treadgold will pro
ceed more rapidly with the opening
of his oxtenslvo Domlon creek devel
opments. The original action nlleg
ed that Rost declined to deliver
claims to Treadgold according to
terms of ngrecment. Rost contended
in return that Troadgold's Idea of
the terms of th?s bargain at the
UniQ ho desired to tako over the
properties were not In accordance
with the original bargain.
