Finally she caught a glimpse of a little fellow standing alone, evidently taking an inventory of the girls present. “George,” she said, nlulnl voice, “please come here.” George sauntered over to Miss Lawrence. “George, this is Marion,” said Miss | Lawrence, by way of introduction. “Now, I'm sure you two will enjoy having this two-step together.” “I don't want to,” said George, re- belliously. Then, before Miss Law- rence could say another word George escaped. “I suppose he doesn't know how to dance,” she said by way of explana tion to Marion. Fully determined now to get a partner for the woebegone lit- tle girl, she added: “You wait here and I'll find another boy.” The next boy presented to Marion looked at her for a moment, then straightened up to his fullest height and said: “She’'s only in second grade and I'm in sixth. I'm not going to dance with any little kids in sec- ond grade.” His tone was so determined that there seemed no use to argue. Marion was not the least bit dis- couraged. She put her little hand into Miss Lawrence's, saying: “Now, will you get me a partner?” Miss Lawrence wasn't so sure that ghe could, but she answered cheerful- “This dance is nearly over.

I want this nice little girl to have a partner.” “Who is she?” “Come across the room and I'l show you.” Reluctantly the boy crossed the room with her. “Marion, this boy wants to dance with you,” said Miss Lawrence. Marion puckered her little forehead and said: “I don't want to dance with him.” “But, Marion, that isn't very po- lite.” “I don't care. a boy.” “Isn't he a boy?” “Yes,” said Marion, “but he's my brother HBob.” Bob was silent, then he whispered somethiug into Marion’s ear. Marion answered “Yes,” and started to dance with Bob.

Sofia, Bulgaria.—One of the most in- teresting incidents of the fall of Adrianople was the manner in which Shukri Pasha, the brave defender of the city, was captured. When brought to Sofla he emphasized the fact that he did not surrender to, but was cap- tured by the Bulgarians. His capture, indeed, was a romantic one. During those eventful days, March 24 and 25, upon which the fate of the capital of Thrace was decided, Shukri Pasha's activity was intense. He was direct: ing affairs everywhere. When, after a series of most bloody encounters the victorious Bulgars of | the Twenty-third regiment had come | to the last Turkish fortification and there was a pause and a wavering for a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Pashi- noff, seizing the regiment's flag, spurred his horse forward, shouting: “My boys, for the honor of Bulgaria, for the honor of our army, for the hon- or of the Twenty-third regiment, for ward! Follow me!” These words had a magic effect upon the men, and one after another all the forts connected with the Aivas-Baba fell into the bands of the Bulgarians. When the Turkish officials and popu- lation found out that resistance was hopeless and that the whole city was enveloped by the Bulgarians, they be- gan to surrender. Lieutenant Colonel Marcholeff, after sending two detach- ments of his cavalry Into various di- rections of the city to institute order, started for the government house, where he surprised a large number of | the Turkish officials and pashas, among whom were Ismaiel Pasha, commandant of the city, Rifaat Pasha, commander of the artillery, and oth- ers. “Where is Shukri Pagha?" demanded Marcholeft, “We don’t know,” was the answer. The Bulgarian officer drew his re- volver and, pointing it at Rifaat Pasha, shouted again: “Where {8 Shukri Pasha?” Rifaat, with a coolheadedness typical of a Turkish pasha, answered: “We do not know, but if you will wait a minute I will inquire about him.” With Rifaat Pasha leading, the party started for Hasderluck. At Hasderluck the Bulgarians found some 300 officers and officials gathered there for safety. Shukri Pasha, how- ever, was not among them Marcholeff recognized Tekir Bey, an old acquaintance, of whom he asked where the commandant of Adranople was. He was immediately led to a small annex, in the basement of which Shukri Pasha, together with ten of his trusted officers, had taken refuge. Colo- nel Marcholeff, on opening the door of the underground chamber, at once knew who Shukri Pasha was. He first saluted him and then said: “In the name of our royal majesty, the king, I command you to follow me. You are a prisoner!” Shukri Pasha was thunderstruck at the suddenness of the procedure. After recovering from the shock he answered coolly, “I beg to say that I am not a prisoner, for [ have sent messengers who have not yet re- turned. 1 have just sent four more.” “It is too late,” was the reply of Colonel Marcholeff. “All of your forts have fallen, your army has been beat- en at all points and your soldiers and officers have been made prisoners.” On hearing this, Shukri Pasha wept like a child. Then he said: “I didn’t think the end would come so soon.” “Do not be depressed, general,” sald Colonel Marcholeff. “Your splendid de- tense of the city nas clicited the ad- miration of the whole world. Come, let us go. The orders are to take you to General Ivanoff.” “Kindly wait a minute more,” en- treated the aged man. Meanwhile he sat down and began writing something. On finishing he turned to the colonel and asked him to read what he had written. “You and | are soldiers,” he said. “We have our enemies, and I especially sign this paper in which I describe how [ and my staff were captured. Our enemies may say we have surrendered, when, Allah! I never thought of surrendering the city.” Colonel Marcholeff complied with his reyuest. Half an hour later Shukri Pasha and General Ivanoff met. The Bulgarian ‘general showed the great- est civility and respect for the Turk- ish commander, telling him that the defense was almost equal to the at- tack. “The defense of Adrainople will add great luster to both Bulgarian and Turkish history,” declared General Ivanoff. BALL PARK ROUTS POE RELIC Old New York Tavern Being Destroy- ed for New American Leaguq Grounds. New York —Kingsbridge Tavern, a landmark of 100 years’ standing and a resort where Edgar Allan Poe used to wait for his manuscripts to come back from unappreciative editors, is about to give way to the march of progress. It is on the site of what will be the new American league base- ball park next summer, at 226th street and Broadway. A gang of laborers have taken possession of the old tav- ern. Efforts of Poe’s admirers to pre. serve the old tavern for its historical interest failed. Here | | | % & g 3 3 3 2 8 re =3 '! @ é % | WMM*WS’DN needs and requirements of everybody.
