A Mild
Flirtation
O7 ALI80IT LED
(Copyright, 1010, by Weitro Newipajer Union.)
For fully twelve months Alvln
Downey, lmclielor, used thirty-five, had
been wooing Mnrcln Foster, six yenr8
his Junior. She wns nn orderly, good
looking lndy with hoiiio resources, wns
really nttrncted by the honest, open
wny In which he proffered his petition
ns n cliilniiint to her hand, and was
worth the winning of any sensible
man.
"Olvo me time, Alvln," she had said.
"I esteem you greatly, hut I want to
ho sure (hat I shall not later regret
nn Impulsive step."
So, meekly, patiently, Alvln Downey
continued his semi-weekly calls until
nn Invalid brother sent for him from
n city n thousand miles away. Mnrcln
told 1dm she would miss him, and he
went away feeling sanguine Hint ab
sence would only make the heart fond
er, and determined to bring affairs to
n definite Issue upon Ids return.
It was only after n dull week thnt
Marcla begun to appreciate the pust
companionship of Downey. Sho
missed the auto rides, the weekly the
ater and movie shows. Then one day
something transpired that broke tho
routine of her loneliness, and camo
very nearly wrecking the fond hopes
of Alvln Downey.
She wns seated on tho veranda when
11 young man came up the rose-llncd
walk, removed his hat and made an
obeisance thnt would have done credit
to a llcau Urunnnel. He had dark,
curly locks and "a love of a mustache,"
any Impressionable young lady would
have expressed It, bright, magnetic
eyes and n most graceful bearing. Ho
dashed all features of romance, how
ever, by announcing that ho hnd a
polishing compound in sell.
Marcla listened patiently to his ex-
ordlum as to the merits of his wares,
and good-nnturcdly purchased n pack
age of the polish. She went Into the
housu to get her purse, and when sho
returned fancied ho looked weary,
Invited him to n sent, doubled her orlg
Inal order nnd was quite touched by
tho nppeallpg wny In which the hand
some fellow expressed his gratitude.
"It may bo tho hnrd times, or poo-
pie generally don't want polish," he
ventured to remark. "You have given
me quite a lift, and I thank you. I am
not used to this lino of work, and per
haps that Is why I am not making n
success of It."
Miss Foster wns sympathetic arA
always Inclined to be helpful. She
unmed a number of neighbors, and told
her visitor that he might tell them
that she hnd directed him to them,
His bright, thoughtful gluuco in re
sponse to her kindness really thrilled
her. Without apparent purposo tho
young man drifted Into the story ot
his life. Ho was tho younger son of
a foreign duke, he modestly claimed,
had struck out for himself In a new
country, hud made an Injudicious In
vestment and was stranded.
What followed thnt eventful day wns
a kind of a dream, a da.e to Miss Fos
tor after it was all over. Quito Inci
dentally, It appeared he met tho hand
some polish vendor on tho street n
day or two later. lie was limping,
and In response to her Inquiries, In
formed hot that he had been lnfd up
since his call at her homo with
sprained ankle. Delicately she brought
tho situation to 11 point where tho
young .man acknowledged that ho was
completely out of funds and she In
sisted on loaning him his needs until
he got on his feet again
Sho repented her action nt tho re
sentful look that camo Into his face.
It expressed pride, humiliation, the
8enso of n deep affront. Miss Foster
tried to atone for her Impetuous nc
tlon, nnd then Wllberford Heresford
ns ho called himself, appeared to rec
ognize her gentle kind-heartedness
nnd tenrs camo Into his eyes, lie ad
vised her how she could assist him
There was a small, well-paying bust
ncss, n stationery and book business
in the town for sale. The owner was
willing to take $1,000 for the same,
Now Mnrcln hud been previously uwnru
of the fact, nnd tlds cuused her to give
credence to other detnlls presented by
the wily schemer. Ho did not wish to
borrow tho money without security.
After nn exhibition of shame-faced
ncss ho produced a pawn ticket
cnlled for $800, nnd for that amount
Beresford claimed to have pledged a
crented ring of his noblo house set
with soveral thousand dollars' worth
of diamonds.
If sho would ndvunco
tho money, lie would send for the Jew
elry, and it would bo ample security
for tho amount of tho pledgo and the
business Investment.
"You will bo perfectly safe," ho de
clared, "for I can get money from
homo within n month. I would not
sell the ring. I have often thought It
shall only bo parted with when I wed
tho woman I love," and his ardent eyes
mndo the fluttering Marcla blush nnd
drop her eyes.
"I will have the money here for
you ns soon as the bank opens," prom
lsed tho deluded spinster rendlly, but
sho novcr saw Wllberford Reresford
again.
An ofllccr from nnotber city arrested
111 tit that night for bigamy ami forg
ery. Marcla Foster shrank from the
chnsm Into which sho had so nenrlj
fallen. Sho banished the swindler
from her thought with u shudder, and
when Alvln Downey came homo bei
welcoming greeting told htm that he
would soon win u lovlnp bride.
UNITED STATES GOT BARGAIN
Purchase of Florida From Spain for
$6,000,000 Was Decidedly Good
Stroke of Business.
More thnn $0,000,000 wns paid by
the United States to Spain one hun
dred years agf- for Florida.
In 1810. on the anniversary of tho
birth of the nation's llrst president,
there was concluded between John
Qulney Adams, then secretary of state,
anil I.uls I)e Onls, minister plenipoten
tiary of the king of Spain, an agree
ment and treaty whereby the United
States became owner of what were
then known as the provinces of Fast
nnd West Florida.
This territory Included not only nil
of the present stute of Florida, but
part of what Is now Oeorgla and Al
abama, and It wns bought for 95.000,
000 nnd the sell lenient of some claims
which amounted to $l,02i,7-I1.41, n
total of $0,021,7-11.M.
The language of the rcinnrknble
document between the two nations Is I
clear and precise nnd differs from
other treaties to a marked extent. The
two men who drew it up were pnst
musters In statesmanship, politics and
diplomacy; also, each was the most!

advanced thinker of the country he
represented.
Spnln wanted to get rid of her
American possessions before they were
taken awuy from her. She wns proud,
but recognized the fuct thnt she wus In
no position to wnge a long and pos
sibly unsuccessful warfare to hold her
colonies.
America wanted the land in this
continent held by Spnln, but wns will
ing to acquire It by purchase rather
than conquest, and with both sides
ably represented by the best talent, It
was not long before a satisfactory con
clusion was reached.
WILL MODEL ALLIED LEADERS
American Sculptor In France Has
Been Given the Task of Putting
History Into Clay.
Joe Davidson, the American sculp
tor, now In France, Is engaged on a
most Interesting commission, accord
ing to the Manchester Guardian. Ho
Is modeling a series of bronze busts
of the chief allied military and politi
cal leaders. Muny have already sat
for him, ami many, including Halg
and Lloyd George, have yet to give
sittings. One of the sculptor's recent
successes was a bust of Marshal Foch,
done In clay, from which the bronze
work will bo completed. Only two
periods of time, totaling five hours,
were uvallable for Davidson.
Rut that proved sutllclent. Half
wny through, the marshal Inspected
what had been done and smilingly re
marked: "Sculpture Is not so dltllcult.
after nil." He also recalled with some
pride that Gustavo Dore's Illustrations
to Poe's works were mnde In his
(Foch's) house. lie wns only a cap
tain then. The sculptor's description
of his sitter Is Interesting: Foch's
brond, high forehead Indlcntes a man
of philosophic rather than purely mill
tnry type, hut the deep set. piercing
eyes and strong though nowise brutal
mouth, nose nnd chin show thnt the
thinker Is equully n mun of nctlon
and decision. From the point of view
of physiognomy, a subject of absorb
ing Interest.
Famous Old Tavern Closed.
The rising tide of prohibition hns
swept away another ancient hostelry,
the Rlue Anchor, at Front and Dock
streets, Philadelphia, claimed to bo tho
oldest tavern In Pennsylvania, nnd
one of the two or three oldest In Amer
ica. Tho Rlue Anchor Is one of the land
marks of the city. Its walls bear tho
Inscription that tho Inn was founded
In 10S2, shortly after tho landing of
William Penn, when Dock street wns
Dock creek. As a tavern and bnr
the building on this site has been op
erated continuously for 2.17 years.
Chroniclers of Dock street say that
the original building wns burned in
the later years of tho eighteenth cen
tury, and that the present building
dates from about 1781). Tho inu wus
long known for Its fish dinners.

Proving His
Valor
By OTILLIA FRANCES PFEIFFER
(Ooprrlght, 1919, br Wetern Newpaper Union.)
When Ernest Druse enmo bnck from
the war, bearing tho scars of several
wounds, a record for exceptional
bravery nnd two honor decorations, tho
girls of Rockton went fairly wild over
Ho was hero, Idol, mid petted
and feted favorite, while stay-at-homea
beenme buck numbers, for tho time nt
least.
"He mnkes me tired I" observed Vnl
Newcomb to a coterie of friends.
"He's a monopolizer so far as tlu
company and attentions of the Indies
are concerned; that Is sure," remark
ed one of the group.
"Valor, courage und nil thnt sort oi
stutrl "'"'H. he hl!d won lie
war nil by himself 1" Jeered Vnl. "Hlf
Inst cnptlvntlon is Esther Wilde
Seems to think all tie has to do Is to
look at n girl and she is his own spe-
I'lnl property."
"TT111 t Knur i:
'Unit Sour grapes, eh?" wns sug
gested, which Vnl took with manifest
Ill-nature and walked awny muttering
to himself.
"I've got to devise some kind of 0
move to make myself solid with the
girls," ho soliloquized, sourly. "It was
fair sailing with Esther until thai
khaki wonder put in an appearance. J
don't mind the general lot, but Esthei
Is the pick of them nil, has money,
beauty and social position, and I'm not
going to give up my hopes and dreams
so easily. I'm going to set my thinking
machinery nt work and sec If I cnti'l
devise somo scheme to get the upper
hand of this audacious military mar
vel." It was two dnys later when Val vis
ited a drinking plnco In the slum por
tion of tho town, nnd wus engnged In
nn enrnest, low-toned conversntiou
wltlyi rough nppenrlng denizen of tlu
place for somo time.
"Think you can curry out the pro
gram?" wns his final Interrogation ot
him of low brows and furtive, evil eyes.
"Trust me for stnglng the uct ac
cording to rule," was the confident re
ply. "All right. Don't disappoint me
Tuesdny night from eleven to twelve."
Now Vnl hud Invited Esther to a lo
cal entertainment for Tuesday eve
ning nnd had prevailed upon her to ac
company hlni.
At the close of the entertainment
they sauntered homeward slowly. It
was nn exquisitely perfect Juno night
und Vnl kept his eye out closely, scan
ning tree nnd bush for the lurker he
expected to help him "stage a real act
of valor."
He was simply courteous to Esther
and did not seek to press bis atten
Hons, for which Esther wns truly
grateful, but nil tho time be wns con-
grutulntlng himself over the Inevitable
homnge nnd admiration that would be
due him when the net was consum
mated. There was a precious heirloom in
the Wilde fnnilly, with which nil Rock-
ton was familiar. It was a diamond
sunburst, which Esther always wore
on important occasions. Val made
sure that it was in plucc upon this par
tieular evening. Its vnluo was very
considerable and he knew that its loss
would be deeply mourned by the fall
girl he hoped to make bis bride.
"Oil, dear!" suddenly exclulmed Es
ther, shrinking back in terror. A man.
wearing a lialf-inask over his face, had
sprung from behind a tree. In
twinkling he had despoiled Esther of
the Jeweled ornament.
"Stop, you rulllan 1" shouted Val, dls
engaging Esther's arm, leaping upon
the audacious robber and Hinging hlni
to the ground.
"Go easy, mister 1" snnrled the lat
ter, and, leveling n revolver, he strug
gled to his feet.
"Bo careful 1" quavered Esther. "He
Is going to shoot."
Tho footpad did shoot. Two sharp
reports rang out. The highwayman
turned nnd fled.
"I will restore your property if 1
have to follow that miscreant to tlu
ends of the enrth I" vaunted Val.
"Don't risk your life " began Es
ther, but with an injunction to hurry
home to safety Vnl dashed in hot pur
suit of tho thief, nnd both wero lost
to sight.
Esther did not enter the house when
she reached it, but stood at the garden
gate, peering nnxlously down the
street. Sho was quite solicitous ns to
tho welfnre of her courageous chum
plon, although not 0110 whit perturbed
nt the loss of the ornament. Then sli
expressed n sigh of relief. At the end
of half an hour Val camo Into view
Ills uttlro was all awry, his collar torn
out of place.
"A deadly struggle nnd n desperntt
villain I" amiouncod Vnl. "Ho escaped
me, but not until I had wrested from
hlni your precious property," and Val
extended the sunburst.
"Precious I" repeated Esther, with a
slight smile. "Oh, Mr. Newcomb I WI13
did you so foolishly risk Injury for 0
mero triflo? Tills Is only a substitute
pasto imitation which I have been
wcurlng whllo the real ornament Is bo
Ing reset."
Vnl Newcomb wilted. All tho snuu
ho felt he must bnvo demonstrated a
bravery Esther could not fall to ud
nilro. She gave him full meed oi
pralso until bis bribed emissary, while
under the Influence of liquor, let out
tho details of the secret compact.
Then Val Newcomb quietly left town
for tho engagement of Esther und Ern
