much it costs. The only question is,
Can I?'
"You can, father"
Sam Sarait took his daughter into
his arms.
"Tll open an account at my bank
for you tomorrow, Loretta, and every
week I'll deposit $50 to your credit.
Is that square? ?"
The answer was a kiss.
"And. now, father, [ want you to
be very agreeable to Mr.. Haskell, for
he is a very nice young man."
And there was something in Lo-
retta's smile and information that
made Sam Strait think that he must
be very, very nice young man.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1915-12-30
BROUGHT TO Time
Unreasonable Father Met More
Than Match in His
Daughter.

Loretta was a pupil of Francis
/ Wyman, noted voice teacher, in New
York, for two years. Her father
was then living on big wheat ranch
in eastern Oregon. That was three
years ago. Since then Sam Strait
has leased his ranch and taken an
apartment in Portland.
He is wealthy man. He owns an
eastern Oregon ranch. He owns an
other ranch in Calgary; has large
timber interests in southern Oregon,
and carries a very comfortable bal
ance at his bankers.
1t happens that, in the city, Lo-
reda has need Of money. There is
carfare. There are any number of
little things that young girl must
do, if she is to have any sort Of 30
cial life--little things that require
money. But Loretta's father did not
so regard it. He considers that a
girl has no more use for money in
city than on an eastern Oregon
ranch.
"Father, / must have some money
for carfare. l am going over the
river today to make some CALLS"
81 don't see what you want money
for" replied the father. "You ought
to walk"
"Walk forty blocks, father?'
ooh, well, here's nickel"
"But how will l get homeT
"Guess you ought to be able to
walk one way"
Loretta left the apartment with
one nickel. Her face was livid with
anger. She did not even stop to ask
her mothers aid-her usual proceed
ure when father refused her money.
She went down town. She called
upon the manager of a moying-pic-
ture house.
81 am looking for an engage
ment," Loretta told the theatrical
man. 81 would like to sing for you"
"Any experience%
Loretta enumerated the engage
ments she had filled in private houses
and for weddings and the like. She
also told of her New York study.
'1u try your voice." said the man
Loretta's voice is a good voice. The
arrangement was quickly made. Lo-
retta signed a contract, calling for
$50 week.
When the manager glanced at the
signature he stared. "You aren't,
the Loretta Granddaughter of Sam
Strait-are your
eyes," blushed the girl.
The man looked at her, incredu-
lous, unbelieving.
Why, your-father-your ia"
eyes, I know. My fathers rich
man, but-oh, well, that doesn't
mean that his daughter has any
money, or his wife-and-I-need-
money"
Loretta was on the eve of tears.
She brought herself up with jerk.
"And I am to begin when"
John Haskell was an unusual man.
And Portland is not 30 large that
its residents do not know each other
by name and reputation. John Has
kell was aware of Sam Straits close
methods in business. He was also
aware Of Loretta Straits popularity
among her own social set. He had
also seen many other girls whose
fathers made life difficult for them
in the matter of money.
"You are quite sure that you wish
TO sing here%
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1915-12-30

"Quite sure" replied Loretta.
cts the only thing | can do"
"There might be another way"
suggested John Haskell.
How" with eyes tightening.
Suppose We struck off a few
posters, playing your name up in big
type as soloist at the Regent the
alter, suppose We also added that you
would reveal the latest dances in
company with Harry Lansing"
Yes breathed the girl excitedly.
Suppose we put those posters
where Sam Strait would find them
and he only. And suppose that |
take no notice of the contract just
signed by you, unless the plan out
lined fails"
"Oh, would you-could YOU" To-
retta cried.
at isn't that we wouldn't be more
than glad to have you. You have a
very unusual voice and we need
somebody badly, but you are not the
girl we want. You wouldn't fit in.
! wouldn't want you to fit in. DO
you understand %
Loretta Strait put her hand in
John Haskell's. Thank you" she
murmured. "We'u try your plan
first"
1t was nearing Sam Straits din
ner time. He paused in front of the
door to his apartment. He picked
up a crumpled paper He straight
ened it out and laid it on the living
room table. But as he started to
sink into the morris chair his eyes
fell on name scrawled in deep black
across the poster.
There was much more, but Sam
did not stop to scan it. With the
damning sheet clutched tight in his
right hand, he lunged into the bed
room where his daughter was dress
ing.
whats thisr What's this ?" he
howled in rage "How dare you
How dare your
But Loretta Strait was expecting
him. Drawn to her full height, and
with cool smile on her lips, she was
a picture of self-reliance, determina-
ton. J.
F'They are to pay me $50 a week"
she parted.
"My Godl What's $50 week to
this-this p shrieked the man, wav-
ing the paper wildly in his right
hand. you've ruined me! You've
disgraced me! You've made me the
butt of the town"
'I'm sorry, father, if it annoys
you, but girls as well as men must
have carfare and spending money.
I've pleaded and begged you for
money until I'm sick and tired of it"
With head buried in his hands,
Sam Strait leaned hard on the living
room table. He was grieving over
the thing that had come to him.
And none was there 30 comfort. Not
even his wife. She, too, sided with
his daughter-his one daughter, the
pride Of his heart-who had dis
graced him.
He heard the ring of the telephone.
He heard Loretta's voice. Hello !"
Then, eyes, yes. I'd be very glad
to see you. and I'd like you to meet
my father. Good-by."
Father
Sam Strait raised his head. FYes,
daughter"
"Mr. Haskell, the manager of the
Regent theater, is going to call this
evening. want you to know him."
"You mean that he's coming to
this house to"
II thought, maybe, father, you'd
like to arrange to have me released
from my contract. 1t won't cost
very much, I think, and as you seem
to be taking my earning my own
living so hard.-"

NOT SUITABLE. FOR, THE NAVY.
Would-Be Sailors Hardly Understood
the Duties Required of Fighters,
on the Ships, of U. S.

They tell story about; certain
secretary of the navy who had never
seen ship, and who exclaimed, when
he began to explore man-of-war,
Good gracious, it's hollow!" This. is
an unlikely yarn, but it is fact that
there are people who apparently know
as little about ship as a Sioux In
dian.
Some weeks ago man visited the
receiving ship Wabash, lying at the
Charleston (Mass.) navy yard, and
said he would like to ship, but would
not enlist if he could not be given
work to which he was accustomed.
He was not enlisted, for he would be
useless. He was a paperhanger.
Another man went aboard and
asked to see the captain. He was in
formed that that official was very
busy. He then made his errand
known to the officer of the deck. He
wanted to enlist and care for the cap
tains horse, for he was a stableman.
Another wanted to enlist as ships
roofer, and once gardener called to
obtain employment. Flowers and gar
dens are scarce on board of a United
States man-of-war, so he failed to en-
ter the service.

ViIna's NapoIeonic Veteran.

In Wilma, which is temporarily in
the possession of Germany, lives Pc
ter Laptieff, one of Europe's "old
men," for he was born in the year
1889, says the London Chronicle.
When Napoleon invaded Russia, and
got as far as Dvinsk, he was in need
OF guide. But the inhabitants had
fled, Laptieff's family hiding in the
recesses of a forest. But curiosity
drew him, and he hid in tree to
watch the invaders. He was seen,
captured and taken before the en-
peror, who ordered him to act as
guide to the vanguard of the army.
This he did for Sc hours, and then es-
capped. He fought against both of his
country's present allies, against the
French at Borodino, and against the
English in the Crimea. Tired of max
ing history, he took to making bricks,
but now lives in retirement with his
son and grandson.
