Harry SOmerdylle was an ease loving
mortal with no very strong principles
of any kind. Delaine was right when
he said that he cared little for Caryl
Marvin except to amuse himself with
her. Yet, if she threw herself at his
head the fault was not his.

CHAPTER XIV.

CHAPTER XIV.
AIRY SOMERDYKE was later
II than he had meant to be when
4 4 ne met Ben Hadley on the Coney
Island boat Indeed he had promised
to be at one Hundred and Twenty
ninth street at least fifteen minutes
ahead of time so that he and Ben
might secure good seats. But as has
been seen. he arrived just in time to
get on board before the boat left the
pier. And Kelly Delaine was the
person who had made MN late.
The author after parting from Julia
Marvin, started for his apartments, his
thoughts full Of the girl and what she
had told him. He knew Ihat he loved
her and to him love meant service.
What could he do to make her life
bright even if he could not win her
affection? There was no doubt in his
mind as to what were the trouble and
distress of Julia's life They We're her
uncertainty and anxiety about Caryl
Since Caryl was IN his employ and
since it was his friend who had taken
her out to luncheon and on an auto
mobile ride without her sisters knOWl-
edge, surely it was his-helly Delaine's
duty to try to keep any harm from
coming to the girl
It was well enough for him to tell
Julia that he would try to guard her
sister and to influence her to be dis
Greet and circumspect, but it was quite
another thing for him to win CaryPs
confidence and persuade her that ne
had only her good at heart. She was
such a vain little creature, so avid Of
admiration so headStrOng, that he felt
baffled when he tried to imagine him
self arguing with her. Still, he had
given his word and meant to do his
best. But surely it would be wise for
him to remove temptation from her
path, if possible And in this case
temptation meant Harry SOmerdyke.
Harry Somerdyke, as the only son
of a rich man, now dead, had done
pretty much as he pleased since child
hood. Delaine had known him init
mately when the two were young lads
together, but for the past five years
Harry had been out Of the United
States-spending much of his time
playing at engineering in Venezuela
and the friends had seen little of each
other. In their few conversations
since Somerdyke's return to New York
where he expected to remain for only
a little While-Delaine felt how much
the man had changed and how diver
gent were their views on many sub
jects. Yet surely he had still at heart
some of the good old principles, to
which as young men they had both
subscribed, and through these he could
be reached. Harry was thOughtess, |
self indulgent and full of fun, but he
was not evil
Remembering all this Delaine
changed his course, and instead of 60
ing home went straight to Somerdyke's
hotel. Upon inquiry he learned that
Harry had just come in and was in his

GO LONG as the Great Lakes exist,
the United States of America need
not worry about its supply of
drinking water. No nation in the world
IS so lavlshlY supplied with pure. fresh
water. And yet, in every great city,
which borders on these remarkable lakes,
men can be seen rushing by thousands
to Stake their thirst with something
else.
The Great Lakes are five in number
and can be drunk with impunitv, without
being boiled. They form the largest
collection of unsalted Wetness in the
world, and all of England could be put
to soak in them. From the western end
of Lake Superior, adventures can sail
almost 1900 miles before Lake Ontario
peters out into the St. Lawrence river.
Much caution must be observed IN doing
this, for three reasons. in the fIrst
place. Lake Superior falls all over Itself
getting into Lake Huron; in the second
place. Lake Erie. after flowing gently
past Buffalo. suddenly drODs 100 feet
at Niagara, with q tremendous concus-
sion. In the third place. the Great
Lakes, when irritated, take delight IN
piling the most pondeTrouss, vessels Dot
tom I'D on top of each other along its
shores. The Great Lakes would only
make little patch of wetness IN the
ocean, but they have a way OF standing
a ship on its extreme end and OF pro-
noting sea-siczness mall of its forms,
which even the ocean cannot surEass
The Great Lakes form a wide and
generally ample boundary between the
United States and Canada and the two
governments have improved the rough
spots in them with canals. Because Of
this. the lakes now resemble a torch
Iight procession in the busy season and
more vessels pass Detroit than will ever

to the low freight rates, good fishing and
cool summer breeZes. enormous cities

including Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit
Milwaukee. Buffalo, Toledo, Toronto
and Duluth. These. cities now have al
most 100000 population, but 100 years
400 there weren't enough people in al
Of them together to. influence ward
caucus in the slightest decree.
Lake Sunerior is the largest Of the
Great Lakes. It has $4,000 square miles,
is 500 feet deep and is so cold that steam
heat is handy all summer around its
shore. Lake Michigan Is a long deeD
lake, which IS being borrowed by Chi
