REASON Was GOOD
BY EMMETT c. .sALL.

Edith Brighton was, as rule, a
very proper young person. Today,
however, as she strolled along the
shaded bank of the river with her
small sister, Mary, she felt an ire
sistible inclination to do what she
was well aware her generous allow
ance of old maid aunts would call
decidedly shocking.
''Tm going in swimming, Mary,
she announced.
Mary looked at her in wide-eyed
establishment.
"But you haven't got any bathing
suit" Mary protested.
Edith took her small relation by
the shoulders, and looked into her
eyes. Her own were sparkling.
"Can you keep a secret, Mary p
she asked.
Huh! For box of candy" that
mercenary young lady insinuated.
"All right. Then listen. You
must never, never tell soul about
this, but I'm going swimming
without any bathing suit I"
"O-ee! Bet you don't dare p
Mary giggled.
''You just watch mel" Edith re-
torted, her courage braced by Mary's
doubt.
A few minutes passed; a squirrel
peeped with bright, inquisitive eyes
from behind the trunk of a tree.
Then a slender form slipped to the
edge of the water, and a little heap
of corduroy and lace was left upon
the moss of the glade. There was a
white flash into the amber of the
stream, and the girl came up putting
and shivering.
Cough But it's cold!" she chat
tered, and took few quick strokes
to warm herself, but the chill of au-
tumn was in the water, and very
few minutes convinced her that
swimming, for this season, was no
longer a joy. AS she turned toward
the bank, the slight splash of we'll
handled oars came to her ears, and a
moment later a shell shot round the
beld of the stream an hundred yards
below her.
For a moment she seemed para

as she remained under the water. She
allowed herself to sink until her
mouth was just clear, and waited.
The shell, keeping the middle of the
stream, was by this time opposite
her, and with another thrill of terror
she recognized the oarsman. At the
same instant he caught sight of her
head and backed water.
Hello, Edith p he called, resting
upon his oars; pretty cold day for a
swim, isn't it?"
"No, it's just fnew she asserted,
endeavoring to keep her teeth from
chattering.

bathing suit are pretty close kim"
He stood up in the shell, and
kicked off his canvas shoes.

who was perched upon a stump upon
the bank, began explosively, but was
scared into sudden silence by the
glance from her sisters eyes.
"But | was just going out" she
said, as Bob Perry began to take in
his oars.
ooh, that's all right, I'll hit a
few strokes, anyway" he said, catch
ing the overhangirg branch Of a
tree, with the intention of securing
the shell thereto.
"But-I don't want you, I don't
want you to come in at ALL want
you to go awayw Edith cried, upon
the verge of tears.
He paused, and looked at her in

''But I didn't want to see you-I

poor girl, chilled and miserable. cried
angrily-
A look of blank stupefaction and
pain crossed his face, and he settled
himself in the shell.
I'll don't deserve this. Edith .
he said, gravely; 'but as you wish it,
goodby."
The sculls dipped, and minute
later he had disappeared around the
bend in the stream. The girl climbed
hastily ashore and shiveringly
donned her clothing. The pace she
set on the homeward way tried both
the temper and the legs of her small
sister to. the utmost.

Upon the second afternoon Bob Per-

he must have seen her in the garden

sent word that she was mot at

closing of the boat-club season, and
there would be the customary festivi-
ties, including luncheon on the lawn
To the establishment of all her
friends Edith had declared her inten-

sion would cause her to relent.
The wailings of Mary, however,
arose to the skies. What? Miss the

guessed not and it was finally ar

sisters reach. "Why didn't you get
it for me when you were in the vii
lage yesterday"
Il forgot it, dear, but I won't
next time" Edith assured her anx-
iously.
Edith went slowly into the house
and to her room, and threw herself
across her bed. She hid her face in
the pillows and sobbed forlornly.
In the meantime Mary was not
idle. A vigorous search of the boat
club premises had failed to disclose
the presence Of Bob Perry, but later
she spied him, seated dejectedly in
the abandoned reading room.
/ "Hellow she remarked.
Bob glanced up, did not recognize
the child.
"Hello," he said.
"You don't know me-" Mary said,
''but,0 she added with an air of one
who holds the key to the situation,
'1'm Edith Brighton's sister,"
Indeed ?" he said, sudden light
of expectancy coming into his eyes.
''Will your sister be here today?"
Mary giggled.
''No," she said, conclusively.
''Do you know why?" he asked,
eagerly.
Mary nodded mysteriously.
'|Will you tell me? l wish very
much to know" Bob said, striving to
keep his voice level.
The child surveyed him with
shrewd, mischievous eyes.

"And was that all ?" Bob asked.

Mary asserted.
Five minutes later Bob Perry was
driving rapidly towards the Brighton

drew card from his case, and wrote
across it:

let me explain. | will wait until you
come down." This he slipped into
an envelope and gave to the servant
who admitted him.
The minutes dragged slowly to
Bob, pacing back and forth in the
library, to which he had been shown.
Then his ear caught the sound of a
light footstep, and Edith came slow
ly into the room. Her head was
bowed, and a bright blush burned in
her cheeks.
Dearest, dearest" he whispered,
and took her, unresisting, into his
arms.
And she never asked, nor did he
say, why he had not called the first
evening after his arrival.

4. Washington, Sept. 12.-In response
to an urgent demand from the state de-

Joint resolution making an emergency
appropriation of 100000 to be used for
the relief of destitute Americans in
