the statement that the article "Down

Tact and stated that the L)r's sermons

those who heard them, also that the

The story of the development and
growth of the public schools of Chesterfield
county under the direction ol
Superintendent of Education R. A.
Rouse sounds more like a chapter
from the Arabian Knights than a story
4n real Hfe. The Chronicle hopes to
present in the near future a few facts
^ B^L from this story. Suffice to say at this
'time that Chesterfield's public schools
are in a class all to themselves.
Any kind of publicity, hel)is. 1*. ^
Rarohui said he didn't care what a
ne\vRpai>er said about hom so long us
it said something. You can't make a
politician bbelieve this, however.
fl Selfishness kills more towns than any
other cause. Whn ye.u find a town
where its business men look only to
their own uggrandlzmet lock for the
writing on the wall, for it Is doomed.
No place yet has ever prospered unless
its citizens went to work upon a
universal platform of the greatest good
for the greatest number. One-eyed
ideas won't win: neither will a selfish
desirde to monopolize some line of busi
k ness. Work together for the common
"*v good for unless your town prospers
you can't prosper.

TREASONABLE TALK. 1
Talk about treason to one's country
is much as you please, but if \V. J.

character to our mind they come

liffer with and to criticiso another's!
nethods, but when a man goes around 0
ho country declaring that President r
Vllson's plan for preparedness is e
orrupt in all its parts and that the 1
epresentatives who favor it arc 6
uercenarily engaged, it seems to us 1
hat there should be found 6ome way i

Juliet Affair I
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
I lived in a block of houses the rear
if. which formed a juuctifci With the
ear of another similar block at a right
ingle. My room was on the third lloor
lack. There was a succession of lire
iscapes by w hich one who was umbiious
to break bis neck might get from
me house to another.
til a window in rear of the other
dock a pretty girl was used to sit,
sometimes sewing, sometimes reading,
sometimes watching what was going
)n in the limited yard spaces below.
SYhcn at home I used to sit In my
iviuuiMv wjiicumg me prcuy giri.

hat trouble was brewing for the pret:y
girl and myself.

it the pretty girl and, being a bold
rouug man. following up my glances
j? throwing a kiss. Of course the
roung lady disappeared from the winlow.
The next time 1 saw her there
[ poised a flower and, taking careful
iilm, threw It so correctly that it fell
in her lap. She tried hard to look
jffended, but gave way to a bit of a
smile, which was followed by an expression
of great severity.
To make a long story short, in the
course of a couple of weeks 1 and the
pretty girl were holding up messages
written in large letters for each other
to read. This was followed by my taking
advantage of darkness one evening
when I would not likely be observed
by others to swing myself from
one tire escape to another to a play
form directly beneath tbe pretty uimm
abode. She was in her' room at the
time and, hearing a tap on the win
ilowpnne, saw me without.
Self preservation Is the first law of
nature, and the girl, to prevent any one
seeing what was going on, turned off
the light. Then she came to the window.
put the sash up a few inches and
her mouth to the aperture, saying excitedly:
"For heaven's sake, go away from
here!"
Instead of obeying her I endeavored
to kiss her.
'Tollce! Burglars!" came a cry.
"Oh, heavens!" cried the pretty girl.
"I hear some one coming up the fire
escape. What shall we do?"
For reply I threw up the sush as
far as It would go and climbed through
the window. The pretty girl, hearing
some one hurrying upstairs, locked the
door.
Well, there wc were!
"This Is dreadful!" cried the girl,
wringing her hands.
1 crawled under a lounge an.d told
her to unlock the door. She did so
just in time to prevent discovery of Its

into the room exclalmin?V^^J?.

girl, going to the windo^JmlUng

There was a confusion of^&uuds.
Some one knocked at the window and
called out, "All right here?" The w,omau
who had entered replied, "Yes.'^but
declined to open the window, Woubtless
she di.l not trust any one.
"Sure a man didn't go through this
room?" called the voice.
"Certainly not," raid the pretty girl.
"Thou it was the next Window," 1
heard the voice say. "I saw him."
For some time 1 heard evidences
that a burglar was being hunted; then
gradually the commotion quieted down.
Some oik?I concluded that it was the

room. Then the pretty girl said to
me:
"You can't stay here, and you can't
get out without almost surely being
discovered."
"If worse coiues to worst, say I am
your husband."
Although this dialogue was spoken In
a low tone, it was overheard. A woman?the

"To whom were you speaking?" she
usked.
The pretty f^irl stammered n denial
tliat she had spoken to uuy one. It

I came from my hiding place voluntarily.
"Be quiet," 1 said to the elderly woman
who stood before me. "I'm no
burglar, and we don't wish our marriage
to be known as yet."
The woman looked thunderstruck,
rurning to the girl, she said:
"You don't mean to tell me that you
tave been secretly married?"
"I do," I interrupted, "and If you'll
let this unfortunate affair blow over
>ou shall have one of the most affecting
love stories you ever dreamed of."
"I should think so." she said very
severely.
I was permitted to consult with the
M'ctt.v girl privately. She was a lodger
