Happu Water

Bu MYRA BORCHARD

copyright, 1916. BY w. G. Chapman.)
Happy Water was the name they
gave to the pretty lake at Starville
The cascade two miles up the river
was known as Laughing Water" The
designations were not misnomers. The
town was twenty miles from any rail
road and it had little of modernity to
it, therefore its inhabitants were crude
only in the sense of pristine artless-
ness and sterling in integrity-hence,
happy with laughing, healthy children
and those of larger growth unspoiled
and contented.
It was at the picnic at the laugh
ing water" that Reade Adams met
Judith Prescott. It was on Happy
Water afloat, with the moonlight sof-
tening the pretty scene, that he told
her of his love. He had come home
after six years at college to meet his
fate. There must be year of wait
ing, his parents had insisted, until in
the big city or at his home town
Reade discovered his mission in life.
Ambition guided him. Reade felt
that he would be worthy of his choice
by making great name. All the ar
dor and dreams of youth were his.
Judith longed to have him remain in
StaryiIle. She felt both would be the
happier for it in the long run. She
dreaded the thought Of that bright
young spirit battling with the trials
and temptations of the magnet metrop-
oils. She did not tell Reade this,
however. She had confidence in him
and felt that he SHOULD elect his own
destiny.
1t was fortunate that Reade met
Allan Wylie in the city, that they be-
came roommates. Wylie was a hard

C.. R. CRANE AND HIS MONEY

Charles R. Crane Of Chicago IS
one of the oldest millionaires America
owns. He finds more funny ways or
spending his money than anyone else
can think Of. A young man with am
billions to be poet once went 10
Crane with a sad story Of how he was
Obliged to devote himself to mere COM
mercial pursuits, when if he only had
an assured income he would write
really great poem and hand it down
to posterity. Crane was telling
friend about the incident. =
"And did you stake him?' the
friend inquired.
Certainly" replied Crane; he
didn't want much-only $50 or sou
month and I was afraid to turn him
down for fear he really might have a
good poem in him.
Once Mr.. Crane was travelling in
Russia and happened to stay over
night in town where there was being
built an elaborate monument to some

courteously, as, passing the chair
which held Reade, he joggled it slight

"What do you mean by that?" CEN
sured Reade. He was at high pitch
of recklessness. He arose to his feet
unsteadily.

to the street.

FAM" declared Reade.
The others were too far gone to halt
him. AS he passed a table Reade
snatched up a knife. His foolish wits
drove him to frenzy. He dashed up
the steps after his fancied enemy.
Then-a blank.
Where was he? His cleared senses
took in stone walls, hideous iron
gate. He tried to clear mis- unsteady
gaze. Then he realized the truth-he
was the inmate of a prison cell!
What had happened? How had he
come there? He. strove to recall the
last fading scene of the previous night
the fancied insult, his mad desper-
ate pursuit of the man who had
aroused his animosity, the knife!-his
blood chilled.
He sat up on the hard plank where
he had slept. He heard voices in the
corridor outside.
Eyes, he killed his man."
"How was it,"
ooh, the usual program-too much
of the happy water blow. He had
a knife A young man, too, we'll con-
nected, they say-the electric chair"
Reade Adams crOuched back on the
plank. His soul was frozen with hor-
ror, the overheard words had supplied
the missing link in the clouded events
of the night previous.
"The electric chair-the knife-then
am murderer" he moaned and
buried his face in his hands.
He must have tainted, for there was
1ethargy, daze and then he heard a
key rattle in the lock.
"Can you walk steady?" was chal-
lenged and a turnkey swung back the
grated door. Young man." he added
sternly, 81 hope this will be lesson
to you. For the sake of your friends

YOU up lying in the road where the
first chance auto might have dashed
out your life. Go up to the office, get
your valuables and cut out the happy
water"
"But--but the murdered MANI"
quavered Reade.
ooh, that's the fellow in the next
cell-killed man last night. Let
that be q warning for you
Reade Adams fairly reeled from
revulsion Of emotion, He was not,
then, murderer! All, the relief, after
those awful moments of horror and
remor5s! He fastened to the office OF
the police station clerk. He fled the
place as though pursued by a pest1-
lence.
Just one person knew Of that ter
rible night in his life. Judith, Judith
to whose presence he fled as to a
sanctuary.
AS to the city-with shuddering
dread he resolved never to revisit
it's menace. No, the home village,
with friends, modest, humble avoca-
ton among those he loved, that was
his pledge, his VOW.
And it was out upon the lake in a
boat, alone with Judith, that Reade
Adams told her all. Then, her. pity
ing eyes upon him, he spread out his
hands in ecstacy across the gleam-
ing moonlit waves.
ooh, never that other again!" ne
almost sobbed, "only this-the dear,
real Happy Water, and friends, and
peace, and your love!"

It is said that a name was mentioned for the position, but it was found out that the man entertained the same views in regard to the needed army as Mir. Garrison, consequently, is un- eligible. However, for the want of a regularly appointed official, tajor General Hugh Scott, becomes ex- officio Secretary of the Army until such time as the president name a successor to the former incumbent. Mir. S. Shirley, chairman of the House fortification committee and Secretary Lane assistant secretary are mentioned as the most likely candidates. Mir. Roosevelt, assis- tant secretary of the navy is also mentioned as possible candidate.
