And here, in the shadow of the windmill, and with its moans and creaks rendering the sound of their ' voices inaudible to any chance pas- sers-by, the two lovers met and told , kib. z their secrets, secure in the friendly watchfulness of the old mill, which seemed to them the one benign ally which had not been estranged by the terrible war which swept about them. a And finally, it was to the old wind-k mill that Herman fled to escape the soldiers who came for him, and for three days he lay benath the floor ofy the mill, sustained by the food which Gabrielle was able to carry to him. At length the soldiers gave up the hunt and went away, and in the eve-r ning when the long shadows of the great Stuttgart hills cast their friend- ly curtain over the windmill, Ga- brielle climbed the steps to the bal- cony where Herman awaited for her - their last meeting. Plan For Future Long into the night they sat on the - balcony of the old mill and planned their lovers' plans, and the friendlyz creaking of the mill wheel seemed to them a good omen. Their plans led far into the future, when Her- man should cross the seas to Amen- ca, and some day come back for her. " Bewitched by the enchantment of. their love ,so closely bound up with the old windmill of her father's, they ' sat on and on, building their castles which were to become so much more than air' in the happy days when they should go to their new home in Amer- ica. Clouds arose and covered the moon, and of the stars Vega alone was visible. And he pointed it out to her, and told her that it was to watch over her while he was away, and 'that some day it was to bring s ; happiness to both of them, for it was to be under the same star, Vega, that he would return to her.

The story is not true. There seems to be no basis for any bit of it. Fur- thermore, there seems to be no clue as to its possible origin. For the true origin of the mill, we'll Cnene Of Old Legend have to do a bit of genealogical de- tective work; we'll have to find out who did build it, and why, and when; we'll have to have all the old settlers in town dig :out their albums and memory books to see whether perhaps there might have been some grain of truth from which the legend sprang. The property on which the mill stands, covering in all about 14 acres around it, was called "The Gray Gables," and belonged about the middle of the last century to "Judge" Wheeler, who was no judge at all, but merely a highly respected cit- izen. By his first wife, the "Judge" had several children, among whom was a daughter, Christine, who mar- ried a man named Lilly, a missionary in Japan who sold Bibles to the heathens. This is important because when Christine and her husband died in Japan, their daughter, also named Christine, was sent back to this country to her grandfather and his second wife, and though she was very young at the time, she remembered no mill on the property and in fact nothing but logrcabins where the court house now stands on Main Street. This was about the time of the Civil War. "Well" Trouble "Ilsii DiIWeItoty kFVI LF~ CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Place advertisements with Classified Advertising Department. Phone 2-1214.

This was in 1895-96. Unfortunately, when the wells were put in, all the wells belonging to the citizens out that way went dry, and the stream and pond which irrigated the beautiful gardens and the park of the "Gray Gables" left but an arid bed. The second Mrs. Wheeler thereupon made things uncomfortable for the city fathers, threatening law suits and divine retribution, but she finally ended up by commissioning a local carpenter to build a water mill on her property to irrigate her garden. This was our old friend the mill, and since the Washington Street wells were installed in 1896, the mill must have been built in 1897, for we have above a picture showing the mill as it appeared in 1898. What makes this picture particularly interesting, is that, we notice several of the Wheelers standing on the balcony, and behind them a door - thus ending the legend of the "sacred untrammeled bal- cony." We know then who ordered it built, and why, and when, and know that the date and the doorless balcony of the legend are false; but we ought to find out who the men were who did FOE RENT DOUBLE ROOM, adjoining bath, very attractive, reduced to $3.50. 508 Monroe.

The building was done by three men: the two brothers All- mand, respected citizens who lived out that way for many years, now dead, and by Olin Shaffer, who now keeps a summer resort at Gun Lake, Mich., has a wife, married children, and who never heard of the name Sten- bach. Our work of destruction is finished. Once again, perhaps there are among you some who would rather forget this last bit of the story and choose to believe instead in the truth of the legend.
