NANNING. running down M
beach. looked about for the IA
miliar blue and white turban.
Somehow he had come to ex-
pect the sight of the odd little bathing
cap. and 1t was with a gesture of impa-
tience that he searched the beach and
the little knot Of bathers clinging to
the life ropes.
Ever since the girl had first appeared
on the beach Canning had been inter
ested. She was a splendid swimmer,
vastly different from the girls who
chung to the ropes and gave little
shrieks every time a wave rolled in.
She was not the kind OF girl a mar
spoke. to without excuse, but Of late
there had been a sort of friendliness in
her glance as she had climbed to the
raft. More than once Canning had
wished that she might have a cramp-
just a tiny little one-so that he might
go to her rescue and thus break the
conventional ice.
She was nowhere in sight today.
The water was unusually rough. and
the life guards were pacing the beach
restlessly instead of occupying their
usual perches. but rough water could
not prevent her from taking her daily
dip. and Canning wondered what the
matter was.
Tnen suddenly he caught sight of n
blue and white dot GU ON the water,
and he strobe into the surf. 1t was
reckless for the girl to try TO make the
raft in this sea. He wondered that the
guards had not called her back.
Once In the water. he advanced with
powerful strokes. following the girl
ahead. 1t was no easy matter for him
to make Roadway at first. and he won
dered how she was faring farther out.
She must have been making slow
progress. for he could see that he was
gaining on her. She was not more than
a hundred feet from the raft 10 and
he was some fifty feet behind her when
suddenly she threw up her arms. with
a cry, and disappeared.
He fought his way toward the spot
and came up to her as she rose for the
second time.
Turn on your back" he command
ed. Il will get yon to the noat."
He caught her just in time. and
slowly he padded with one hand to-
ward the raft. 1t was a difficult mat
ter to get her on the raft unaided. but
the realization that he would have to
work quickly gave him new strength.
She had lost consciousness, and his
first care was to administer first aid.
1t was several minutes before her eye
lids iuttered and he knew that he had
won that battle. When at last he was
assured that she was all right he sank
down on the boards beside her to rest.
You seem to be more exhausted
than | am" she said after n moment.
The swell made it difficult" he ex-
planned. ''Once or twice ! thought l
had lost you. but | held on"

LIES TOLD BY CHILDREN.
Timidity Is One Cause, and 1t Re-
quires Tactfui Remedy.

Some children lie because they want
to show off and brag. others because
they are too timid. 1t is clear that the
lies of two children differing in this
way must be treated by entirely differ
ent methods. For the vaunting lie it
is sufficient to defeat its purpose by
showing that the boast cannot be car
ried out.
A little girl was sent or an errand to
the store to get n loaf OF bread and
came back saying that there was no
more To be had. The mother. of course.
knew that that could not be and soon
found out that the child had forgotten
what she was to get and was afraid OF
being ridiculed for forgetting. Here
the cause Of the lie was timidlty. In n
case of this kind n mother ought to
develop the self confidence of the child.
Every normal child has instincts that
can be developed into habits OF truth
fitness. Even more important than
the right kind of treatment for I'M
truthfulness. says the writer In the
H~ousekeeper. Is the necessity for an
atmosphere in which the spirit of
truthfulness is all pervading.

she said. with a little shudder as she
glanced out over the heaving water.
Canning glanced up for n moment,
then sprang to his feet. with a cry.
Presently he turned to her with a
grave face. "Do not be alarmed" he
said quietly, but l am afraid the raft

OF Interest to the Young Folks
HAVING FUN WITH AN EGG.
How to Amuse Your Company by a
Simple Method.

simple Metnod.
When you give your next party try
this trick, which will create a fund of
laughter.
Take a raw egg and empty it by
means of plnholes. AS soon as the in
side of it is dry fill it a quarter full OF
fine sand and then with a little white
wax seal up the apertures. Its LIKENESS
to an ordinary egg is now complete.
The mex time boiled eggs are served
at breakfast take your preparation
egg and substitute IL for one that is
given YOU. Then you may safely an
nounce that your egg is ready to obey
your slightest word. lou can place 1t
at will in any position you desire. Ii
will stand on the edge of Il knife or the
rim of a glass. no matter whether you
put it sideways or endways. In the
last Ease you will cause all the more
establishment. because it will seem TO
trespass against the laws of gravity.
The only ~precaution you need observe
Is TO tap the imitation egg gently. so
as to cause the sand 10 settle each
time at the bottom. and thus you will
get it TO assume any position you wish.
1t will appear like magic.
Now. the disobedient egg is an egg or
quite another kind. 1t is prepared as
follows: You must introduce half an
ounce or SO of very fine shot through
the hole. together with a little pow
dered sealing "a Then warm 1t
gently over the stove You will thus
have a fixed center of gravity in
your egg. which will cause the most
contradictory appearances. 1t will
prove a perfect fund of laughter. No
matter how you pretend to pose it. the
weight of lead at II end will drag IL
away from its position just as soon as
you leave 1t TO its own devices.-Mag-

LIGHT WOOD FOR WHEELS.

cause II 10 Elastic and Strong.
The most important kind of wood
which the carriage maker uses is hick-
DRY. The lightness. without loss OF
strength, for which American made
vehicles are famous is largely due to
the use of hickory. 1t has great
strength and elasticity. There is no
other wood that equals it in these re-
spects. and all kinds have been tried.
For one thing. the light wheels used
on some kinds Of pleasure vehicles
would have TO be fitted with very
thick tires II hickory was not employ
ed. Ash and elm have been tried In
place of hickory. but these woods split
too easily to be successful substitutes.
Many millions of feet of hickory are
used every year in the carriage and
wagon industry. Ii Is feared that Its
rate of production may not keep pace
with the demands OF the trade. for
hickory springeth not up in the night.
Nevertheless 1t does grow rapidly
enough to hold out some hope that
with careful supervision of the forests
the hickory tree may be made to yield
n sufficient crop.

a painting behind them and turned to
see a steam yacht dra wing alongside.

Canal Zone is Part of the Domestic

Washington, July Ex-senator

turn to the debate over canal tolls
yesterday by asserting that the canal
zone is part Of the domestic territory
Of the United States, and this coun-
try has the exclusive right to regu-
late all matters affecting the opera
ton and maintenance of the Panama

Of 1903 with Panama and the pur-
chase by this government Of the
Panama zone changed the relations
Of the United States with Great
Britain. and superseded the Hay
Pauncefote treaty of 1901. He ex-
pressed the belief that the United
States now has a right to use the
waters Of the Panama canal in any
way it pleases. as though they We're

NOT FLUSTERED.

Berlin, July 24.-German public
opinion is neither disturbed nor irri-
tated over yesterdays naval debate in
the house Of commons in London. The
press generally seems satisfied with
Germany's comparative position under
the new order of things and praises
the speech Of Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty,
as frank, without the usual provoca-
tiveness. It criticises, however, the
attempt to throw the responsibility for
increased armaments on Germany.
The Vessische Zeitung points out
that the increase in the German fleet
was due to the tone of British states
men during the Morocco crisis. which
compelled every German to regard an
increase in the German fleet as a
commandment Of self preservation.
