The Clutch Of Circumstances.
BY E. C. WALTZ.

Copyright, 1901, by D. lily Story Pub. CO.
When the wind swept the boat
across the waters, tossing 1t to and
fro in a hooking and mad glee, Carter
Starr had only the one thought-to
save his companion and himself. The
boatride was a mad escapade on the
part of both-a daring defiance OF the
old quarrel between her uncle and
adopted father, Belden Storms and his
own family. But when the fates threw
them tog.ther for fortnight's sojourn
at the sideside hotel, the two saw
humor in the situation that drove them
into follies and pranks undreamed OF
before.
He knew that she was pretty and
an heiress. He knew that his own
fortunes depended upon the caprice OF
his grandfather. She admired him
with q woman's admiration, because
he was forbidden to her by every ira
dition of the Storms family.
Introduced by accident and among
strangers, the two laughed into each
others eyes and defed fortune and
tradition. They met afterwards by
those strange accidents that seem ar
ranged for such cases. in the early
morning dip in the sea, in the hooks
Of the long porticos, at night during
the pauses of the dance-and, on an
island party over the bay, in the dance
itself because it was safe enough. But
this afternoon had been utterly with
out precedent He had stro1led away
in his flannels for smoke and to read
while the hotel people mapped after
luncheon. And, in the shade OF a
great rock, he had CHANGED upon Eloise
Storms awake, alert, saucy and mag
netic. An hour later they went cut for
a sail over to Idle Rock. That was
the story-on1y they had not counted
on what might happen.
What did happen made them help
less. their boat disabled in few mo-
ments, at the mercy Of wild sea.
Then was the dreadful darkness Of the
. tossing waters and binding rain.
Eloise's red parasol went to and fro
toward the shore like a gay buoy at
the first gust. And after it went her
pique cap and his own soft felt, mere
links in a chain of evidence in after
hours.
It was hard to say which was the
paler face in the first realizations of
the moment But Eloise recovered
herself with the courage of her race.
I'VE shall be carried out to sea-"
He looked at her with trembling lips

The Kaiser's Church-Building Fad.

The kaiser Of Germany has many
hobbies; the kaiserin only one, the
building of churches, says the New
York Times. AS, however, she is COLI
stantly indulging her taste for &C.
clesiastical construction, the matter is,
financially at least, of some Importance
to those who pay for her piety. There
is. therefore, certain good-natured
dissatisfaction with her extravaganza
is this line. Taxpayers comfort them>
selves with the thought that she might
spend their money in less praEe-
worthy objects. The feeling on the
subject was recently given expression
to in comical manner at the unveil-
ing of one of the groups of the statues
with which the emperor has decoratea
the alley in the Thiergarten in Berlin,
known as the "Siegerallee." At the
close of the ceremony came the ma
tional hymn, Hell Dir i'm Sieger-
kranz," whereat every one, Of course,
uncovered. Among Ale number was
a totally bald man, seeing whom one
of the street urchins present called
out: "Hey. there's another vacant
spot for the kaiser1n to build church
on!'

FIND WATER IN THE DESERT.

Plentiful Flow Is Struck in Mojavs
Desert by Prospectors.
The Mojave desert, located in the
southeastern portion of the state, has
long been regarded as dangerous to
life and valueless for any purpose,
says the San Francisco Argonaut.
True, it was known that the arid land
could be rendered fruitful by means
of irrigation, but there was no water
thore and none could be obtained
without heavy expenditure. The
only plan proposed that promised re-
lief was the construction Of immense
reservoirs in the mountains to retain
the storm water for a long distance
during the summer. This meant a
heavy initial outlay and neither the
state government nor the federal gov
eminent has as yet expressed will
ingness to incur it. Life on the desert
when not positively dangerous, is
crowded with hardships, but hardships
have no deterrent effect upon the
searchers for gold, and lately the waste
places of the desert have been invaded
by an army of prospectors for Oil. The
theory upon which they proceeded was
that the Kern river oil belt extends
through the Mojave desert. Whether
or not there is any virtue in this
theory, the facts SO far developed have
not justified it. No oil has been found,
but water in considerable quantities
has been struck and at the present
time this is moro valuable than the
oil would have been. Artesian water,
if sufficient quantity can be found.
is much better than the retained and
ditched storm water would'have been,
since there is less expense for hand
ling and less loss from evaporation.
Three wells have been developed al
ready. The third struck the water at
a depth of 1855 feet, which is much
more shallow than would be required
for an oil we'll. All Of them are said
to be "gushers," and the latest flows
215 miners inches. If the water belt
should prove to be permanent and ex-
tensive a rush to this region and
something very like land boom may
be looked for.

Folly. I knew better than to dare
Fate So"
$50 did ]. lou must forgive me
A man should be WISE
And a woman discreet. What
would my uncle and aunt say now?"
He was knotting the rope about her.
I'VE may never know. Now we

the other will. 1t is just, is it not?
And it makes chances
Il would not have it any other way.
Who wants to go into the Unknown

He rose up suddenly.
'Eloise, the worst is coming. Give
me your hand, no, hold to me. See!''
She looked seward and saw that
which made her Shrek and cling to
