FIFTH STORY.

Leila Austin, during her % sheltered
years as well-to-do mans only daugh-
ter, had never known an ungratified
wish. Poverty" and struggle" were
mere words to her-words that car
ried no real meaning.
Perhaps that was why she refused
Halsey Brent and accepted Tom Car
ter. Brent was rich and was grow
ing richer day by day. Carter was a
mining engineer, boundlessly rich In
energy and hope-and all but bank
rupt in everything else.
Mrs. Austin spent long and profit
less hours in pointing out to Leila. the
advantages of marrying Brent and the
hardships she must face as the wife
of man who still had his way to
make.
Leila listened patiently-and mar
ried Tom Carter.
Her fathers wedding gift to Leila
was a check for $4,000, more money
than Tom Carter had saved in all his
Woodworking life. She Endorsed lit
over to her husband and, with it,
Tom bought the controlling interest in
an Oregon gold mine.
This investment was not as rash as
Leila's parents and Brent thought. The
mine was one which Tom himself had
helped to develop and in which he
had boundless faith.
TITS a gamble, DEAR" he told Leila.
''But then, so is everything in life. l

There's a lot of pay ore under those

With the money I've laid by from my
salary l can keep the pay roll going.
Any day we may strike the right vein.
And when we do! Well, little sweet

BOILING WATER.
IL Is Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.

II Is Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.
If you scald yourself with the tea
kettle you are apt to think that boiling
water is a pretty hot proposition. But
boiling water Is not always very hot
water, and this is the way it happens.
When water boils ordinarily 1t Is be-
cause great heat has separated the tiny
particles of the water, forcing upward
and outward in lively bubbles the air
which is contained in them. This Is
done in spite of the downward pres
sure of the atmosphere. After the wa:
ter has become hot enough to boil 1t
can get no hotter. because the air es-
capes as fast as 1t is sufficiently heated
to do so.
There are places on the earth where
the pressure of the atmosphere upon
the water is SO slight that 1t requires
but little heat to push apart the par
ticles and set free the air bubbles
which are confined In the water, so 1t
begins to boil before it becomes very
hot. 1t ought hardly to be called cold
wafer, perhaps, but 1t is certainly far
from being as hot as ordinarily boil
ing water. This state of things Is
found on all high mountain tops, as the
atmosphere grows weaker aud its pres
sure less as one ascends.
A man travelling at a great elevation
in the Andes mountains put some po-
tatoes in a pot of water over a hot fire.
The water began to boil almost I'M
mediately. but the potatoes did not
cook. All the afternoon and all the
night the water dubbed and boiled. but
still the potatoes were not cooked. The
boiling water was not hot enough.

OBITUARY
THOMAS MARTINDALE

The many Wild wood friends of Thos.
Martindale were grieved last Saturday
to learn of his death, which occurred
in the wilderness Of Northern British
Columbia while on a hunting trip.
Mr.. Martindale first came to Wild
wood about the year 1903 and erected
a cottage in the North Wild wood Sec
ton. A few years afterward he erected
the handsome summer home at the
corner of Glenwood and Atlantic ave-
nues In the earlier years he was &C.
tive in Wild wood Board of Trade work
and made many addresses before
Trades bodies all over the country.
For many M he was one Of the
best known commuters between Wild
wood aud Philadelphia and the Wild
wood people had learned to love him
for his geniality and extraordinary So
cial qualities. In 1905 he was elected
a director of the Marine National Bank
Mr.. Martindale was born in England
seventy years ago. His parents settled
In London, Canada, where he demon
strated his business ability before he
was twenty years old. He began life
as a poor boy and by industry and fru-
gal habits in his early life became q
rich man. He especially endeared
himself to the newspaper boye of Phil
adelphia, who found in him a ready
friend and sympathizer. The Poor
Richard Club, an organization of Phil
adelphia advertising and newspaper
men, was his particular delight. For
many years he was president of the
club. Mr.. Martindale leaves a wife
and two Sons.

citizens, especially the business men,
will also reap a great benefit from the
work of the chorus because the concerts
will bring larger crowds to the resort
than we have eve had before. Know
ing that one charge that cannot be
made honestly against any of our busi-
ness is that of selfishness or lack of fore
sight, they have invited men and
women without vocal abilities but with
the desire to serve with what abilities
they have, to Join their ranks as asso-
ciate members, for this chorus is to be a
municipal affair. To such members
will be given the privilege Of serving
on committees, financing the chorus
aud working along other lines of ac-
tivity which are as vital, perhaps even
more SO than the singing, for If there
are no finances there will be no singing
and if there is 10 singing there will be
no crowds and the city will be the
loser. Music must be purchased, the
director, who has offered to direct the
chorus at a ridiculously low figure be-
cause of his interest in the work of the
chorus must be paid for his work, pub
LEFTY work needs attention and there
is no end of opportunity for every
CITIZEN who has the desire to serve his
city.
We, as a city. have always desired
and sought for something which would
attract visitors during the winter
months and the memory Of no u is
SO short that he has forgotten the bless
ing our music has been to us this sum-
mer aud there is no doubt but thai
several winter concerts will do more TO
make ildwood a winter resort than
any other plan proposed. The winter
months are the theatre months and we
cannot hope to compete with the city
playhouses but we can compete with a
great hope of success, with the musical
productions of the city as the letter of
Mr.. Mayer has shown us and 1t is the
duty of every resident of Wildwood to
give his services to the work.
One of our summer visitors paid a
dollar on Tuesday evening to be credit
ed TO her subscription and 1t is for us
now to show that although a visitor
may start the ball-a-rolling, we are
going to keep our own ball rolling with
out outside help. We are not selfish
enough to deny to them the privilege
of helping us If they so desire but We
will not allow them to lead US. The
writer could name other resorts who
are contemplating the organization of
a chorus, but an argument OF that
nature is not Of much value here for
we have learned that the citizens of
Wildwood do things on the basis of the
benefit 1t will bring Wild wood and not
merely because the other resorts are
doing 1t; they think for themselves.
Thirty-two members were present
and enrolled on Tuesday evening and
we look for thrice that number at the
next regular meeting, September 26th,
in the Episcopal parish house, Pacific
and Maple aveaue. The meeting next
or supreme importance to
every one, for at that time the matter
of membership, their classes and privi-
leges, finances, mode of government
aud other details will be discussed and
fixed permanently and the committee
in conference with Mr.. Pfeiffer will
render their report. MUSIC.

Motion de- hnrahu 9iuan That nm
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1916-09-22

The meeting OF the Wildwood Sum-
mer Chorus on Tuesday evening to
form a permanent organization, mark
ed another step forward in the musical
career of the island. Because of its
effect on the future life and develop
ment of the city, it stands out as an
epoch making event.
After the meeting had been called to
order, Chairman @. H. Huppert briefly
stated the object Of the meeting aud In
explanation read a letter from John b.
Mayer, president OF the United Singers,
of Philadelphia, The largest national
Organization of its kind, compliment
ing the Wildwood Summer Chorus fol-
its excellent work on Septembe r2d, and
stating that the chorus had an excep'
tionally bright future if it could bu:
devote its time regularly to the work,
Realizing that men of that type do not
gofo the trouble OF sending such letters
unsolicited unless they are convinced
of the inherent value of an organization
the officers decided to put forth 9
special effort to make the Wild wood
Summer Chorus a permanent organiza'
ton and not a group for summer work
only.
The temporary officers, G.. H. Hup-
pert, president; Robert Bond, vice
president; Mrs. G. Adams, secretary
Rev. I. N. Kugler, treasurer and II. M.
Rice, librarian, having been chosen as
permanent officers, the chorus began TO
speaker to respond to the request OF
the president for suggestions was Mr..
Hallowell whose recital of the success,
financially and otherwise, of Wild.
woods past musical productions made
the members forget many oftheir fears.
The next speaker, Mr.. Tatem, In that
clear cut and optimistic manner of his
which is too we'll known to anyone
who knows aught of Wildwood to re-
quire further comment, discussed the
prospects of the work and the members
present were convinced that there was
no need Of further delay on account oil
seeming difficulties. The greetings OF
the summer visitors were brought by
DR.. Bagley and pledged their support
because they realize hal it will be a
great benefit to them, even though they
are not among the vocalists of ouI
nom
The matter of a name was then dis.
cussed, but since a name can make an
organization a thing to be ridiculed OIL
respected, the matter was placed In
the hands OF a committee of three,
which committee was enlarged to five
a few minutes later as q committee on
organization. This committee will
submit a name and outline of ~organiza-
ton at the next meeting on Tuesday
evening. The committee, consisting of
w. II. Bright, chairman, Revs. Bailey
and Gresham, Mrs. H.. H. Tomlin and
Roland Corson, will be pleased to
receive any suggestions as to, name,
method of organization or any other
natures, from interested persons.

10miin suggested that a committee be
appointed to keep in touch with the
summe visitors who are interested IN
the work and would like to get the
benefit OF the work. The plan suggest
ed was that such members be informed
from time to time In regards to the
progress Of the work and music used,
so that they might rehearse the same
at their winter homes and be prepared
10 resume their work next summer.
Acting on her suggestion a committee
of three, Mesdames Bagley, Tomlin and
Christian Ciegg, was appointed by the
president to look into the matter and
report at the next meeting.
The matter of financing the organiza-
ton received its share of attention but
no definite action was taken, the COM
mittee on organization being instructed
to include a plan in their report.
