The Daily
Short Story
An olU STORY

As many another man has done,
Maurice Harkley sat in tho house of
God and worshipped at the shrine of
woman Dimly, he was conscious
of the voice Of the preacher dis
coursing upon the fall OF man and
lost Eden; but the living idol of his
devotions sat in the front row Of
| the choir, and occasionally let her
eyes meet his with a pleasurable
look that brought Joy to his heart.
But never yet had he been able to
! summon up the courage to speak
| aloud his devotfons to pretty Adele
Putnam
That afternoon found the two
| along the country roads. They
stopped where ne knew of a spring
| that dubbed out of the hillside.
Barely touching his proffered
hand, she sprang lightly from the
] car and ran up over the old fashion
ed stile. He made her sit at the
| springside while he served her with
sparkling water in a rusty lineup;
and then, surrendering a mad de-
the cup, and swear fealty to it's
owner forever, he turned up his
| trousers and waded in after the
coveted cowslips. When she saw
that he sank ankle-deep in the mud
and ooze, she pleaded with him to
return. How sweet her imploring
voice sounded in his ears! And how
1T spurred him on to do the very
thing she urged him not to do, and
kept him tramping about in the mud
until he had secured small armful
of the yellow beauties as an offering
to her!
He laughed happily. in purest joy.
as the solicitude expressed in her
eyes and her Gliding voice, as he
laid the flowers in her lap and re-
fused the pathetic offer of her filmy
handkerchief to use in cleansing his
shoes. He washed them at the
| spring and sat down beside her.
AS he watched her silently ar
ranging the flowers into a huge bo-
quet, he gathered courage for the
execution of a great resolve; for
| something seemed to whisper that
now was the moment of moments
to speak.

When the things of earth came
back again, they discovered a new
and most beautiful world; the sum
shine was brighter, the tints of the
flowers and trees more delicate, the
scent Of the woods sweeter, and the

peaceful than any they had ever be-

SKIPPER RATIFIED

Jack London's little vessel, the

about to start upon her seven years.
journey around the world, is still on
the verge of departure. She may come
back, but, without wishing to utter a
word that might be interpreted as dis
couraging, I must say that I "hae me

feet safety would attend the journey.
l knew nothing of the personality of
the man who is to navigate the Shark
to fame, but was told that he was one
Roscoe Eames, relative by marriage
of the adventurous London. "If he is
navigator he must be a sailor"
thought. 1t was because of the inter-
est that took in the going forth of
the Shark that I observed her while
on a recent journey across the bay.
Captain Games was in command of the
Shark and was evidently getting her
accustomed to the feel of the water
Just as we were within hailing dis

tain Eames, lodging across the bow of
one ferry boat, lodged under the bow
of the other. The tide was strong, the
wind was high, the waves rolled
threateningly, and the Shark began to
have fits. Captain Eames jumped up
and began to wave his arms, uttering
commands in a hoarse voice. Being no
mariner myself, 1 could not understand
all he said, but I caught a few such
expressions as "Luff the piston rod"

Home endorsement, the public ex-

siding in PARKWAY places. Read the
following:

KAMS WALLOP
HIGH SCHOOLS
First Game of Intersch0lastic
Ball Series Played
Yesterday.

Sporting brand new uniforms and
their faces, the High School baseball
| nine, and the Kamehameha Schools
| nine opened the interscholastic series
yesterday afternoon
BY the fourth inning that ''easy vic
tory look had disappeared and while
| the Highs succeeded in chalking up six
runs to their credit in the remaining
innings, the victory was for the Rams.
The final score was 1876 with the
greater part of the errors placed
against the Highs. John Lo and Sam
Saffery were the Highs best players
while Achieu-maybe he wasn't the
worst, but he certainly could have done
to be literally showed off second base
to make third, even though the ball
was being chased after by the short
stop, and in the third, he stood gaping
at his pitcher when a ball and a man
were coming to him.
A large number of High School par
tisans attended the game, which was
played at the baseball park, and did
some tall roofing, led by Roy Douglas
who kept them at it.
The Kamehameha players showed up
in much better form than their oppo-
nents There is much room for i'm
provement, however, but the Rams
seem to know how to get at it and some
spectacular games are expected.
The personnel of both teams follows:
Kams: Ordenstein, White, MANU-
kona, Mackenzie, Murray, Norton,
Twomey, Waiau, Lota.
Highs: VIM. Aki, II. Chillingworth,
Albert Akana, S. White, j. Lo, r. Chill
