Shirley ' Carlisle, Mrs. Wayne's guest, eager to wear a service pin, decides to choose the name of some soldier who will never come her way, remain engaged to him just as long as she cares to wear the pin and announce her engagement at the little tea. party which Annette is giving in her honor. A list of those sailing for France is carefully examined and the name pf Captain Clay Calhoun is promptly appropriated. With the transfer of a ring and a borrowed service pin, Shirley boldly springs the news upon the assembled party--and in the midst of congratulations Lieut. Wayhe and Captr Calhoun enter. Natural complications follow* In the meantime, Jennie, a waitress, secretly delivers the envelope stolen from Mr. Richmond's dispatch box to Mr. Charlton, who,J^, in reality, Captain Scheppel, a German spy, and who has been sending information obtained thru Jennie to a nearby submarine. While in the tea room Shirley recognizes him and addresses him as Captain Scheppel, declaring that she has met him in Berlin. Naturally he denies his identity, and in order to prevent Shirley from leaving the room and spreading the alarm, he kidnaps her and Mrs. Wayne and carries them, to a deserted ( cabin, after ordering Jennie to drop the envelope in Shirley's knitting bag, so that he, in that way, may gain possession of the document without risking its being found on his person. At the cabin Shirley plays her wits against those of the spy. Captain Calhoun--who has seen the sudden departure--comes to the rescue, and alter the dramatic entrance.of Jennie, who is in reality an agent of the United States government, Scheppel is captured. The captain, after his part in the day's excitement, realizes that war is, after all, an unsatisfactory lady love, and before the midnight hour has sounded Shirley is given the right to a service pin of her own.

Bennett, Atty. state of *Tryphene Howe, Deceased. The pupils of St. Mary's parochial school, assisted by a few outsiders, will appear in one of their popular entertainments at the Central opera house on Monday evening of next week, April 21. Sister M. Sydia informs The Plaindealer that the coming event gives promise of being one of the very best ever given by the pupils of St. Mary's and this should be enough to pfick the house. The sisters of the school have been rehearsing with the scholars for some time past and the manner in which the rehearsals have been "put over" during the past few days indicates that the entertainment will be given without a hitch and the public may rest assured of something real good. The advance sale of tickets already indicates a big attendance and unless our guess is away off the Central will be packed to the doors on this occasion.
