The Clutch Of cip instances,
BY E. %NALTZ.

Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Co..
When the wind swept the boa
across the waters. tossing 1t to II
fro in a hooking and mad glee, Carter
Starr had only the one thought-to
save his companion and himself. n
boatride was a mad escapade on the
part of both-a daring defiance OF the
old quarrel between her uncle ana
adopted father, Belden Storms and his
W family. But when the fates threw
them together for a fortnights soJourn
at the sideside hotel, the two saw d
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 a woman's admiration, because
ne 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 defied 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 strolled away
in his flannels for a smoke and to read
while the hotel people mapped after
luncheon. And, in the shade of 4
great rock, he had CHANGED upon Eloise
Storms awake, alert, Saucy and mag
netic. An hour later they went out for
a sail we to Idle Rock. That was
the story-only they had not counted
on what might happen.
What did happen made them help
less, their boat disabled in a few mo-
ments, at the mercy of a wild sea.
Then was the dreadful darkness Of the
tossing waters and a 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 r~ealiZations of
the moment. But Elcise 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 Churchill uiiding 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 con-
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, a 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 praise
worthy objects. The feeling on the
subject was recently given expression
to in a comical manner at the unveil-
ing of one of the groups of the statues
with which the emperor has decorated
the alley in the Thiergarten in Berlin,
known as the "Siegerailee." At the
close of the ceremony came the ma
tional hymn, Hell Dir i'm Sieger-
kranz,' whereat every one, of course,
uncovered. Among the number was
a totally bald man, seeing whom n
of the street urchins present called
out: Hey, there's another vacant
spot for the kaiserin 10 build a church
on"

FIND WATER IN THE DESERT.
Plentiful Flow Is Struck in Mojave
Desert by PrOspectors.

Plentiful Flow Is Struck in Moiave
Desert by Prospectors.
The Moiave 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
there and none could be obtained
without a 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 a 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 more valuable than the
oil would have been. Artesian water,
if a sufficient quantity car 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
q depth of 1S5 feet. which is much
more shallow than would be required
for an oil well. 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 a land boom may
be looked for.

GIassgow's Tax Reducing Scheme.

AS a means of reducing the taxes
for the maintenance of the police de-
partment of Glasgow it has been pro-
posed that so per cen of the extra
rent charged by landlords of public
houses above the sums which such
houses, minus the licenses, would let
for, shall be paid into the municipal
treasury. There are many public
houses in Glasgow, the rents of which
are enormously out of proportion to
the accommodations afforded, and it is
argued that the landlords ought to be
made to share their excessive profits
with the city.

Tubing on a Mans Body.

An averaged sized man has, as some
statistical crank has figured out, about
$500 inches of skin on his body, and
in each square inch there are some
$500 sweat glands. There are over
$500 glands in the palm of the hand,
while the number on the entire sur
face is about 1000, 900. Each of these
sweat glands is about a quarter of an
inch long, therefore the average man
has something like twenty-eight miles
of tubing in his skin.

He looked out to the infinite, ON

from him. The wind blew the girls
brown hair about her shoulders. He
could not see her face. He tried to
keep a control of the rudder for a long
time but gave it up as useless. Out,
out into the darkness n tossing wa
tiers they went with the receding tide.
Finally he crept along close to her and
took her hands.

The news of their rescue went by
telephone to the great hotel and the
whole house, excited by their disap-
pearance and survival, waited on the
piazzas and at the wharf for their re-
turn on the coast steamer.
The people at the village had given
.5em some clothing but they presented
$: strange appearance as they stepped
on shore. At the g~ang-plank stood
a white-haired old man and a red
faced middle-aged man. They were
both stern and choleric, their great
relief finding vent in hot anger. The
culprits came together. Carter Starr
held his head high and his lips We're
as set as his grandfather's own. Eloise
was wan and chung to his arm. There
was a loud huzzahing of the passen-
gers and a dash forward tt shake

something to halloo for. Miss Storms
and myself have been very zeal Death
and have come back as we were saved,

The old mans eyes at once met those
of the red-faced mans in a look of
intense relief. He caught his grand
sons arm.
And you did right, you scamp" he
roared out, You are always a gentle
man"

In the faint gray dawn he awoke
from a troubled sleep. They were on
a long sandy beech. Clear across the
bay were the buildings of the great
hotel. Beyond and above them was a

stone church showed over the trees.

An Alderman Thinks They Come
Much Like Winter Tourists.


Much Like Winter Tourists.
An alderman was making inquiries yes
terday as to whether the lame, halt and
blind who grind hand organs on the
streets are required to pay a license. He
was informed that licenses are not de-
manded of them as they are regarded as
objects Of charity and are relieved of IL
conses.
This did not satisfy the alderman. and
it is NOT improbable that something will
be heard from his objection to the mendi-
cants continuing to solicit aims upon the
streets. To a Morning News reporter the
alderman expressed his views as follows:
why, | learn that Savannah is gaining
a reputation among people of this class as
a good thing" and they are coming
here in swarms. Now / do not like to
appear uncharitable or to give rise TO
the suspicion that the milk OF human
kindness is altogether foreign to my COM
position but it does seem to me that il

gladly as a nickle is received here.
From all over the country, l under

their organs going and let their doleful
or painfully hilarious tunes provoke the

Now that shouldn't be. Let other cities
