men who had won their money. When they got beyond the end of the point the big waves sweeping across the lake struck them and set the Water Lily'' to bobbing like cork. Shortly it got into the trough and commenced to ship water. Presently Edward and Elliott found their new white tennis shoes entirely submerged, while the probability constantly increased that if something were not done the rest of them would soon find watery grave. They looked back at the log cabin re- sort. It was wrapped in darkness. If they ran ashore they would not be jeered at by their late companions. Then they turned the half water logged boat and let it drive before the wind Fortunately the shore where they struck was low and sandy, and they landed without difficulty.
 ''We'il leave the boat here," said FL liott, "and walk around the shore to the hotel. In the morning early we'll row over for the boat. Nobody need ever know"
 Now, as some people know, and as Edwards and Elliott discovered that night, there are few things more de ceptive than the difference between point and point on lake by water and by land. A journey which may be

AN INTERRUPTED % VACATION %

TLLIOTT and Edwards are already
 back from their vacation. They did not stay as long as they expected and they had one adventure which they have sworn to keep a secret. It happened the first night after they reached the lake.
 Though Elliott and Edwards have lived on the shores of Lake Michigan all their lives, they had never until this spring been out on the water. When they decided to go to the Wis consin lake for their vacation trip they decided that they must at least learn how to row a boat. So they went up to Eincoln park after office hours and practiced until they felt that they were finished oarsmen.
 When they reached the summer re- sort at which they had engaged a cot tage they wore blue yachting suits and white yachting caps, and were made up' in every way like a couple of sad sea dogs. Outside of vacation days they were bookkeepers in an in- surance office on La Salle street. They were only few years over 20, how ever, and it was natural they should want to cut adash. Elliott hada downy red mustache, and both youths wore gold-rimmed pinch nose eyeglasses.
 After dinner in the big dining-room they decided it was up to them" to give an exhibition of their seamanship. Old "Tom," the man in charge of the boats, smiled when he saw them bare two pairs of arms which it would take wholesale poetic license to call brawny He tried to give them a broad-beamed, flat-bottomed old slSiff which could hardly be tipped over, but they were too knowing for him. They insisted on having cranky little thing, pointed at both ends, and too narrow for either comfort or safety.
 As the lake was perfectly calm ''Tom" let them have it, and they start ed out. Some one had told them of a Iog-cabin resort across the lake where the beer was good and there was a nice little poker game" in operation.
 The boys went across in fine style and made a dashing landing on the sandy beach of the log-cabin resort. The beer, they found, was cool and good, and, after three steins apiece, they .'sat in' the poker game. Before they knew it both boys had made dan gerous holes in their vacation money. That was bad enough. When they started to go home they found that a heavy sea was running. It was also true that the beer they had drank had the effect of making the sea look even more tempestuous and terrifying than it really was.
 But the sad sea dogs from the Lin coin park lagoon were not to be cas- ily daunted. They got into their cranky little ski and pushed boldly off, encouraged by the cheers of the

NOT PROUD OF HIS HoNoRs.
Col. Hickey Is Known Chiefly as the Godfather of n Noted
 Drink.

Some people are born to fame; others achieve it, while celebrity is thrust upon few. Among the lat ter is Col. Joe Hickey, of Missouri. But instead of feeling proud of the fact that he has given his name to a popular tipp1e Col. Hickey feels very much aggrieved. "only few years ago." he said recently, ''I was Col. Hickey, of Missouri, the friend of senators, judges and statesmen and something of an authority on po- litical matters and political move ments. As time had dealt lightly with me I had no right to quarrel with the world. I am still the friend of statesmen and politicians, and I think I keep fairly we'll in touch with the world. But am ever spoken of for those reasons? fear not. No, I am known to fame as the author of the Hickey and have to be satis- fled with that. There is one consola- tion in the fact that there are fash ions in drinks. The present popular ity of the Scotch high ball may pos sibly lose me my reputation and re- store me my former fame. Iris a consummation devoutly to be wished for
