Fresh water and free day again today is the word that comes from Riverside. There will be no admission charge all day men, women and children all be- ing admitted free until five-thirty in the evening ana given an opportunity to picnic bathe and enjoy themselves in other ways without any charge whatever except the usual charge for bathing The pool was full last night about midnight and with the new heat ing plant working should be fresh enough and feel just about right to suit the most fastidious. The early morning hours are the ones favored most by the children and women learning to swim. while these warm evenings see many bathing parties enjoying themselves before dinner at the cafe and after the picture show: A complete change of program will be shown tonight at the movies with the outdoor seats. Jack Abbott has returned from twelve hundred mile motorcycle trip and is again at the head of the orchestra at the dancing pavilion with bunch of new music that makes the toes tInglc and pleases the ears of those musically inclined. On the free days at the park, MaXwells auto busses carry people p and from the park any time during the day or evening for five cents each way.

of the torpedo which sank the
vessel, resulting in the death OF
two Americans and upwards Of
40 others.
Asked as to the possibility OF

was a peaceful trading ship. She
didn't attack the submarine, nod
did 1t or any other ship act as

Sometimes she went to bed SO tired

of another day, which Bess was sure
to fill with all sorts of jolly schemes.
There was just one thing to look for

pain and pleasure to have him there.
She knew, of course, that he found

wonder at this. Who could help adj

who could help admiring Mark?

was not needed in the parlor and she

THE DAILY STORY.
THE HOUSE CAT.
Copyright. 1915. By ". wernsr.)

Linny Lynch had never really known
Mark Leland until Bess Burdett came
to visit her that winter. yet she always
had admired Mark and wished ahyly
that she might have closer acauaint-
ance with him than Just passing the
time Of day with him warranted. There
was something about the very sight OF
him that brought the color to her
cheeks and made her heart go faster,
although she did not think much about
men as rule. But Mark was certainly
out of the ordinary man to win
any girls liking. being big and whole
some and genuinely good looking.
with a healthy optimism which gave
his presence the warmth and glow OF
sunshine. Everybody called Mark Le-
land 10, able. but to Linny he seemed
more than that; to herself she called
him adorable.
OF course. Linny knew that she had
no chance with Mark. She dld not
go out in society. for several reasons.
One was that she was not suited Tor
gay life: another was that they were
too poor to dress her for large com
panies; another still. and. perhaps, the
greatest of all, was that her little
mother was an invalid and needed her
constantly at home Moreover. Linny
was not pretty. although she had
some tender graces of her own. These
graces were always very obvious
when she was in her kitchen apron,
but as soon as she put on her best
dress they dimmed.
Linny was often rather lonely;
therefore she was delighted when
Bess Burdett, whom she had met at
her aunt's the previous summer. asked
IL she might come visiting. OF course.
Bess could come. Linny at once wrote
back to say so and Bess came forth
with.
Now, Bess Burdett was a beauty
and a favorite in her own town, which
she was leaving temporarily because
of a heart affair that had not turned
