Romance of a
Back Yard
By DWIGHT NORWOOD
One morning, goiug to my window,
which Is Ln the rear of the house ami
looks out on the back windows ui
houses on another street, T saw a liny
white handkerchief pinned to the win
dow sill. The same afternoon, goiuu
to my room, 1 was about to open the
blinds when 1 saw through the slat-1 a
pretty girl kiss her hand to some one
In tlie house adjoining my 'domicile.
She at once disappeared, but it was
evident that a flirtation, perhaps one
that had developed into an affair of
the heart, was in progress.
After this 1 saw tuany a signal in
the window opposite which I would j
probably not have recognized as such j
hud I not seen the throwing of the
kiss. Mi* next door neighbor, of course.
1 could not see, but 1 had noticed a
good looking young man going and coming,
and I presumed that he was the
fortunate possessor of the young lady's
favor. ?
1 was one afternoon sitting at my
I window, with the blinds closed, when
through a crack between the slats I
saw a pantomime l>etweeu the lovers.
The girl looked down into her back
yjird and shook her head. After she
had left her window I looked down
into Ids back yard myself. It was inclosed
In a high brick wall topped
with broken glass. I was not long in
deciphering the pantomime. The cirl
had put a veto on her lover's undertaking
to effect an entrance to her
premises over the wall.
YiM.nil ik wees niier tins i saw a negro
bring u barrel Into the back yard
through a rear basement door. He
set It down very carefully and turned
to go away. lie had taken but a few
steps when he turned, went buck to
the barrel and busied himself examining
the head, which I could see was
not fastened in the usual way. While
he was doing this his lips moved.
Moreover, I saw something passed
from the barrel to his hand. Presently
ho went away again and this time
disappeared through the basement
door.
I was reading u love story without
words, or, rather, was seeing one enacted,
not on the stage, but in real life.
It struck me that something would occur
In the premises on the other side
of the wall. Should 1 be mean enough
to spy with a view to satisfying my
curiosity? Would It lie mean to enjoy
what I could of a drama In real life?
The barrel was deposited shortly before
my dinner hour, whlofaMpag^ G
o'clock. After dinner dnrkneav Itnd
fallen. Without turning on my lights
1 took a sent at the window. The
spnee between my home and the
houses in the rear of It was dimly visible
from the lights of the houses
shining upon it. I could barely discern
the barrel standing where it had been
placed. Not earing to reveal myself by
lighting my room, I concluded to while
llWJlY* file time In the HiirlnotQ I\xr
smoking. I lind consumed half a dozen
cigarettes and was thinking that if
there was any one in the barrel he
must he pretty well cramped when
something rose out of its top end.
There was n pause; then something
larger followed. Curiosity sharpened
my eyes, and I saw a bulk that looked
like a man's figure get out of the barrel,
take It up ami proceed with it to a corner
in the wall, where he was hidden
from me. 1 fancied he was using the
barrel for concealment from the opposite
direction.
"That's the last of him for me," I
remarked, "till the lights are put out."
Nevertheless I was too interested to
leave my post. I smoked till 1 fell
asleep. When I awoke It was 11
o'clock, and there was but one light in
the house visible to me, and that was
In the room of the heroine of my story.
As I looked it was turned off
I was now thoroughly awake and believed
that 1 bad no great time to wait
to see something more. 1 v. s right.
Not long after the last light v.;n turned
off J saw the s|wice occupied by the
basement door of the house I was
watching grow darker, imlieuiug that
the door was being opened. Then
something stood in the opening. A dark
spot flitted from the wall to the door,
entered and the door clo..cd.
1 regretted that the elopement?for
sueli 1 believed It to lie -could not
have been effected over the rear wall,
where 1 could have seen it. They would
go out the front basement door
1 went to bed and had ju-c fallen
asleep when I heard the > rack of a
pistol. IClsing. 1 looked through the
window at the house of my story. The
haseineiit and the two up|H-r Poors were
lighted. 1 saw figures passing before
the windows, but heard nothing. Aft
<t mwiinc ilie tights negan t< l.e turned
off. and in time nil was strain dark.
The next morning 1 saw in my newspaper
an account of an attempted robbery
of premises 73 Kiln street. Tiie
police were called in. but tin* robber
had escaped?nobody hurl, nothintr
lost. K!tn was tiie street back of tny
lioine. After brenkfnst I walked around
the l>loek to note the number of the
house. It. was 73.
A few days later, while scanning the
marriage notices in my morn lug paper,
I saw that Miss Kmmn A. of 73 Elin
street had been married.
I never learned what had occurred
flic night of the "robbery," bur I formed
tills theory: In trying to got out on to
Elm street ttic couple, or, at. |e:urt. the
lovers, had been detected, supposed
to be burglars and shot at. The police
entered, but were told there had
been nn attempted robbery.

REIGN OF THE AUTOMOBILE.
It Will Cost This Country This Ysar
Over a Billion Dollars.
On June 1 the number of automobiles
in the United States passed the 2,000,000
mark for the flrst time, which
leads the Scientific American to make
the following calculation:
"To run 2,000,000 cars for one year
requires at the very least 1,000,000,000
(one billion) gallons of "gas," worth
$130,000,000; 20,000,000 gallons of lubri
eating oil, worth $8,000,000; 12,000,000
tires, worth not less than $10 apiece,
or $102,000,000; accessories and extra
comforts, goggles, gloves and caps at
$50 per car, equal $100,000,000^1 garage
charges on short tours (exclusive of
gas and oil), $100 per car per year,
$200,000,000; repairs made necessary by
wear, tear and accident (exclusive of
tires), $50 per car per year, equal $100,000,000.
"According to these figures the total
running expenses for all the cars in
use amount to $730,000,000. Add thereto
the vnlue of the GOO,000 new cars
purchased during the year at an aver
ngo price of $750, which equals $450,000,000,
and we get the immense total
of $1,180,000,000 spent in a single year
(1915) on the sport of motoring."
Aeroplanes In Warfare.
Without the aeroplane in its numerous
forms the present war would have
been waged on utterly different lines
at almost every point. Either the
trench warfare would have been indefinitely
prolonged or there would
have been an ever recurrent number
of surprise attacks, with alternate success
and defeats, and a ceaseless shifting
of the balance of advantage, and
when so many millions of troops were
eugaged, over fronts of unprecedented
lengths, heaven alone knows how the
commanders In chief would have controlled
their forces or directed their
tactics. In any future war no country
will take the field without regarding
Its "fourth arm" as its most precious
and indispensable factor.?Charles I*
Freeston in Scribner's.
Japanese Bandages.
The triangle bandage first introduced
by the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese
war is now being widely used in
the European war. It has been found
that banduges of this type are suitable
for binding up wounds in any part of
the body and that one can be carried
by each soldier without inconvenience.
The Germans improved it by printing
on the banduge itself, in sterilized ink,
various figures showing how it is to be
applied. The British war office then
adopted the idea, and every British soldier
now carries one of the printed
bandages in a special pocket of his
tunic. This bandage is often applied
without assistance by the wounded soldier.?Popular
Mechanics.
Roumania.
The population of Roumania is about
0,000,000 and is composed of four distinct
divisions or departments?the
Moldavian and Oltenlc, who are tall,
iiiiu moil, many neing exceeaingiy
handsome, and who are principally
mountaineers, and the Valachie and
the Dob ridge, who are mostly of Turkish
origin. The population also Includes
200,000 gypsies. There are believed
to he about 1,000.000 Roumanians
outside the Roumanian kingdom.
Exposition Coins.
The San Francisco mint has struck
25,000 "exposition coins," which, although
offered for sale at double their
value, are rapidly finding their way
into the hands of collectors. They
range from fifty dollar gold pieces
down to half dollars. The fifty dollar
gold piece?the first coin of that denomination
ever authorized by congress?bears
on the obverse side the
head of a laborer and on the reverse
side two dolphins.
Russia's Now Port.
An important railroad is being built
northward front I'etrograd to a point
on the Arctic ocean near the Norwegian
frontier, about W)0 miles west of
Archangel, on a portion of the arctic
coast line reached by the end of the
gulf stream, which makes the climate
at that point much milder than at
Archangel. A port will he created there
that should never become icebound, as
Archangel is in winter.

Philadelphia, Aug. 8.? Adam ant
Eve did not bring about the fall o]

translation of a tablet now in th<
University of Pennsylvania museuir
by a representative of the museun
According to a sumerian theologj
(found in the tablet, which is sau
to have been written before the dayi
by Dr. Steven Langdon, professor ol
Assriology in Oxford University
England, Noah was ordered not t'
eat of the Cassia tree in the Carder
of Paradise and when he disobeyet
the curse fell on mm.
The curse was that he should hav<
ill health and a early death insteac
nf living to be 50,000 years old lik<
his ancestors.
According to todays announce
ment Dr. Langdon asserts this tablet
is at least 1,000 years older than th?
Oenesis account and so far as i:
known, as the oldest record of th
sort in existence. The tablet was
written more than 4,000 years ago.
Babylonian and Sumerain account:

8,5000 B. C., and the lapse of time be

43,200 years each. The reason tha

A human interest story that grip
the hardest heart comes from Chieagi
as a result of the Eastland disaster
From all the wreckage of human lues,
from the enormity of the eatas
trophe there is nothing that seeme<
to awaken more interest and pit;
than the case of "No. 390."
As you know it was a gala occas
sion, the day of a big picnic and fo
weeks ahead preparations were 01
foot. Even grown ups were excitet
and as for the children! My! what ;
time they were going to have. Then
would he a ride on a big boat am
ball games and swimming and a din
ner?a whole day given up to hav
ing a good time. The Eastland wa:
to sail at 7:30 and by then she wa!
full of a gay crowd of human beings
eager, happy, and care free. Then i
happened.
For five days "No. 390" lav in th<
morgue unclaimed, unrecognized. Ant
he was such a little specimen of hu
manity this boy of eight. There wai
no one in the crowd who had looke<
forward to the picnic day with mori
excitement or pleasure than this lit
tie mite. For days they came claim
ing their dead hut all passed him b>
Mothers, their own hearts bursting

Last Thursday this order went ou

'Noi 396' will be buried
