AChance for a Hero
BY GEORGE w. ROSE.
MISS DOROTHY COURTNEY is

II
Xvi Daughter of the Revolution.
In the same sense she is daughter
of all the wars of English speaking
peoples since the crusades. Her an
cestors spent so much time fighting
that one naturally wonders how they
came to be ancestors at all.
A courage absolute is what Dorothy
most admires, and until lately she has
thought her cousin Harold Several
times removed) possessed it.
At present she doubts whether any
man Except the few Courtneys who
haven't been killed Off is really brave
under all circumstances.
Miss Dorothy and her aunt were at
summer resort when Harold showed
the white feather and allowed her to

: by stranger
Harold vanished, and the new young
man, Mr.. Kempton, was installed as
hero. He was reserved young man.
and did not find it necessary to inform
her that there are some men whom
bees will not sting.
Now comes the sad tale of Mr.. Kemp
tons tumble from his pedestal. He
followed Miss Dorothy and her aunt tc
Frankfort, and foolishly allowed him
self to 60 out in catboat. He might
have had telegram from home, OF
even vulgar cramp in the stomach
( but, misled by clear sky and an Ana
MAS of boatman, he went like lamt
J to the slaughter.
A mile from shore wind struck
them savagely. It Slated the sail
cuffed the poor little Siren, and jerked
the sheet from Kempton's hand. The
sail swung out over the bows. Kemp
ton threw himself on the tiller; the
lower fastening of the rudder broke
and the boat was helpless. 1t swung
side on to the waves and wallowed. A
larger wave struck it amidships and
dumped half barrel of water into it.
Kempton lost what nerve he had.
!"We shall be drowned! There is no

asked the dry goods drummer.

hope!" he cried, white to the lips and
threw himself into the bolt ON of the
beat. .
Seasickness, combined with the fear
Of death, brought him to the lowest
pitch.
/, Miss Dorothy, sitting erect in the
stern sheets, looked out over the toss
ing waves somberly. Presently she
saw far ahead most singular sight.
A crazy little canoe was dancing to-
ward her at rapid rate. It seemed
1 to be sliding sideways from the waves.
It had less Of stability than thistle
down, and it was empty. But beside it.,
apparently riding on air, was man.
As the Siren swung to the top of a
wave Dorothy could see palmer. The
man was balanced on board far out
to windward from the canoe. He had
furled mizzen sail and jib, but-'had
notshortened his mainsail, and he was
fairly flying toward ~ catboat. An
instant later hee.as aboard and had
made his painter fast.
He caught the long oar from the bot
tom OF the boat, Topped it to the firm
portion Of the rudder, and with two
tremendous strokes swung the Sirens
! head up to the wind.
He was well tanned. busy young
man who did not require instructions.
rs he dead?" he asked, nodding to-
ward Kempton.
Miss Dorothy smiled sadly, for an
image was broken.

"Get up and take this oar" the
stranger said. keep its head up"
Kempton did not move, but Dorothy
came to the young man. 81 think I

He looked at her with frank adrnira
ton. ''You are the kind of a girl I
like" he said.
This was abrupt for Miss Dorothy,
but think she liked it. However, he
did not stop to inquire, but clambered
forward and caught the sheet.
IN another moment the poor, mis-
handled Siren, from being helpless

The Old Management.

The fact that the balance of trade
in favor of the United States in the
last six years was more than
$500. 900, 900 greater than the cost of
the hardest fought and most expen-
sive war in history strikingly illus
trates the growth of this nation and
the extent of American prosperity.
In six years, in spite of foreign war
and domestic rebellion that cost us
over 800, 900, 600, our net earnings
from our foreign trade have exceeded
the cost of our Civil war by more
than half a billion dollars. We are
soon to choose some new directors
for this firm in which we are all
shareholders In the light of the
record of the last six years, it would

What Other Reason?

Why do all of Newlands' friends
cite the fact that Newlands married
into the Sharon estate as reason
why they believe he will be elected
Senator? Why do they not state
some other reason why Nevada
should be represented in the Senate
by the king Of assessments and the
lord of the Palace hotel ? If there is
any other reason except money why
Newlands should be elected, is it not
strange that such reason has not
been suggested by some of his enthu-
siastic friends 1t is true that he,
or the House of Representatives of
which he claims to be the owner,
amended the irrigation bill so as to
leave out Nevada? 1t may be that is
another reason why people should
vote for Newlands, but that reason,
If it was ever suggested, has been
dropped, because the people of
Nevada are ignorant enough to be.
lieve they are as much entitled to
government money for irrigation as
any other state. If then, the cash
issue is the only issue, and the people
will vote for him because he will
divide with them the Sharon estate,
what kind of IA man must "A Nevadan
be who will vote for him without his
divid md. There may be difference
of opinion as to the morality Of
taking Newlands money for vote,
but to vote for him without any of
his money, in other words, without
subs tantial part of the reason for
elec ting him, must make Nevadan
proud of his manhood, News
