What Happened After Rita Brown
Went to Telephone.,
Here's your drug shop." f
Alfred swung the car to the side
of the road, drew tip in front of a
village pharmacy as if he had been
driving a car for years.
Wnd here's your marume." He
held out a bill.
"Oh, I don't want thatl I'll only
have to get it changed." Rita Brown
spoke petulantly. I surmised that
she was glad of an excuse to vent
. her resentment against Alfred Dur
kee. . "Allow me, old dear." Dicky
sprang to his feet, held out some
stiver to the girl, then opened the
door and assisted her to the ground
' with a sweeping flourish of his hat.
" "May I assist you in telephoning,
hold the receiver to your shell-like
ear or any little thmg like that? I
should so like to help you." Dicky's
voice expressed the most elaborate
concern.
I wished that he would forego his
love of teasing in this particular in
. stance, for the girl's eyes were
smoldering with wrath. She was in
no mood for pleasantry of any de
scription. Dicky Would Bet
She had accepted the silver coins,
with a cool ,crisp "Thank you." She
turned on Dicky now with a look
that spelred anger rising' almost to
" the danger point.
"Suppose you close your trap and
bolt' it 1" she said raucously with a
reversion to the type from which I
suspected she had been bred, and,
turning upon her heel, walked
haughtily into the drug store.
"Dear chee-ldl I'm so afraid she's
upset about something." Dicky's
face was like an undertaker's, his
voice a piping falsetto. "What can
it be? Alfie, you naughty, naughty
boy, why didn t you let her have the
seat try your side?"
Alfred spread his hands toward
Leila, nodded his head smilingly, but
vouchsafed no other answer. The
Virginia girl's cheeks vied in color
with the berries she had been hulling
before the ride. Dicky regarded her
' quizzically. I was afraid he would
j make some other teasing remark to
her, rose to my feet quickfy, seizing
the first excuse I could think of to
- divert Dicky's attention.
"Oh, Dicky, there's a display of
those rubbers for the canning jars
which mother and Mrs. - Durkee
wanted so much! See, in that gro
, eery window. We couldn't get them
in the Marvin stores. Let's hurry.
We can get them by the time Miss
Brown finishes her telephoning."
"Anything to oblige you, petty-
' dear." When Dicky is. in a teasing
mood he generally invents some
ridiculous "pet name" with which to
Address me, knowing my abhorrence
of public endearments. But as we
walked toward the grocery store he
i dropped his affected manner ab
ruptly. "Bt you a fiver we see the last
o(THer Grace of Greenwich to-
". night," he said in a voice meant for
my ear only.
"What do you mean?" I asked
startled.
"What I say. She'll fly the coop
tohight."
TBut she's made all plans to stay
days longer."
"That was when she still had an
idea she might cop old Alf out when
he wasn't looking, or had forgotten
to cross his fingers. But she isn't
quite bone from her neck up, you
know and anybody who wasn't solid
ivory above the shoulder blades
would deduce from our Alfie's little
,' performance this afternoon that he
f was quite fed tip on the Rita Brown
proposition, and intended to cast his
glances in another direction."
Has Dicky Intuition?
T erav sn imnarient little siffh at
Dicky's atrocious slang, but I had
learned wisdom with the years and
didn't voice my irritation. Instead
I devoted my mind to the mental
translation of his jargon.
- . "You really think he's attracted
. by Leila?" I asked eagerly, forget
ting Rita Brown for the moment in
this hint of a romance.
Dicky cast a whimsical glance at
me.
, "Oh, no he doesn't know she'j on
earth," he began teasingly, then ab
ruptly changed his manner.
"I don't remember ever seeing old
Alf quite so fitting up and taking
. quite so much notice,' he said re
flectively. "I only hope the Fair
faxes won't go when the Brown de
parts." "What makes you think she's go
. ing?" I persisted.
f "Intutition, life-of-me-heart. I
i know as well as if I were listening
to her that she's arranging with
somebody in dear old Greenwich vil
lage to send her an urgent summons
: ' home tonight."

The straw vote of The Bee on the
league of nations and peace treaty
issues shows a growing opposition
to both. With a total of almost
1,400 votes accounted for, the oppo
sition to the treaty as a whole has
grown to stronger than 10 to 1.
Of the 1,398 persons who have ex
pressed their attitude towards the
peace treaty in its present form
1,284 oppose the treaty, while but
114 favor immediateratification of
the covenant.
From Sterling, Neb., The Bee re
ceived a petition signed by 31 per
sons, 23 of whom oppose the league
of nations issue, and eight of whom
favor radical changes in the instru'
ment. The petition also included 42
names advocating the immediate re
peal of the daylight saving law. A
Neligh, Neb., party sends in a peti
tion with 19 names opposing the
league of nation issue. A Seward,
Neb., petition bears 28 , names, all
opposing the league of nations.
Following are some of the letters
voicing the sentiment of a few of
The Bee readers' on the covenant is
sues: H. J. Bailey, city: "I enclose my
vote in your straw vote on the peace
treaty. I do not think this straw
vote is going to indicate the senti
ment of the people of this section,
for, naturally, the republicans who
are interested in trying to make a
political issue ofthis matter, and to
oppose the present administration,
will respond to such a vote carried
on by you in greater number than
will those who favor the treaty.
"The claim made by those oppos
ing the treaty that we yi$ld up some
of our sovereign rights is ridiculous,
when we consider that this is done
by both parties to every treaty and
as a matter of fact, is done by every
individual when he yields ac
quiescence to any law. I have con
fidence that the president and his
advisers are just as much interested
in protecting the rights of this coun
try as the republican politicians who
are striving to make an issue, and
that we can afford to yield as much
to secure a permanent peace as can
any of the other nations who are
parties to this treaty."
Quotes President Wilson.
Writing of his opposition to the
league of nations, J. A. W. Johnson
of Kilgore, Neb., quotes President
Wilson in his famous address on
"Entangling Alliances" on May 6,
1914. in tffcich the president said:
"There are just as vital thing?
stirring nowsthat concern the exist
ence of the nation as were stirring
then (to wit, in Washington's time)
and every man who worthily stands
in this presence should examine
himself and see whether he has the
full conception of what it means.
America should live its own life.
Washington saw it when he wrote
his farewell address. It was not
merely because of passing and
transient circumstances that Wash
ington and we must keep from en
tangling alliances. It was because
he say that no country had yet set
its face in the same direction in
which America had set its face. We
cannot form alliances with those
who are not going our way, and in
our might and in the confidence and
definitenes of our own purpose we
need not and we should not form
alliances with any nation in the
world. Those who are right, those
who study their consciences in de
termining their policy, those who
hold their honor higher than their
advantages, do not need alliances
When we go out from this presence
we ought to take the idea with us
that we too are devoted to the pur
pose "of enabling America to live its
own life, to be the justest, the most
progressive, the most honorable, the

"I am opposed to the league as I
cannot see how any red blooded

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is the chief seaport and leading commercial City of
the Kingdom. Situated on one of the largest harbors of Europe at the entrance to the Baltic Sea,
it holds a strategic position for world trade. The City has by far the most important free port in
Scandinavia, an advantage of much consequence in the commerce of Northern Europe. From
1895 ivhen the Free Port was established, to 1913, the last full year before the war, the annual
tonnage entering Copenhagen increased from 260,096 tons to 1,801,299 tons. The population of
the Cityis 550,000. Tfhis is nearly one-fifth the population of the entire Kingdom.
Loans, of Copenhagen have always been held in high favor among European investors. In
normal times these loans were issued at rates of interest of 3lz omd 4. The total debt of
Copenhagen including the present issue is approximately $89,879,200. The debt of' the City
has increased relatively little during the entire war period. We are advised that no other foreign
loan will be issued by the City within one year.
We offer these bonds when, as and if issued at
