The Day in Davenport

! for this increase in rates was filed
with the city yesterday. The in
crease asked for is but slight and
will prove no hardship on the con-
sumner, it is said. For instance,
where heretofore the metered con-
sumner has been paying minimum
rate of 60 cents per month, he
would be required to pay but IS
cents under the new rate. But
along with the new rate he is al
lowed 5000 gallons more of water
per year.
Principal Leaves City,. L.

CHAPTER Y.
In the Light of the Candles.

remember that 1 tried TO walk
and talk like Silas Wright after
that day. He had a way Of twist
ing little locks of his hair between
his thumb and finger when he sat
thinking. l practiced that trick OF
his when 1 was alone and unob-
served.
One day I was walking up and
down, as I had seen Mr. Wright do.
and talking to my friend "Bayues"
when Aunt Deel called TO me that I
should bring the candle molds from
the shed. I was keeper of the
molds and greatly enjoyed the can
ule-making. First we strung wicks
on slender wooden rods-split and
whitfield by Uncle Peabody and me
as we sat down by the stove in the
evening. Then the wicks were LEI
down into tin molds, each OF which
ended in a little inverted cone with
hole through its point. We care
fully worked the wick ends through
these perfOrations and drew them
tight. When the mold was ready We
poured in the melted tallow, which
hardened in a few minutes. Later
by pulling the wooden rods. we
loosened the candles and drew
them out of the molds. They were
as smooth and white as polished
alabaster. With shears we trimmed
the wick ends. The iron candle
sticks were filled and cleaned OF
drippings and set on the little cor
ner shelf above the sink.
When night fell again and the
e1nnHnr- uh !, 4t-
base of iron. was crowned with vol
low flame, can think of nothing
more beautiful in color. shape and
symbolism. II was the torch of
liberty and learning in the new
world-a lighthouse on the shore OF
the great deep.

Japanese Player
Wins His Match in
Tennis Tournament

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. H.
Ranking players advanced with little
opposition here today in the second
and third rounds of the 37th annual
national singles championships of the
lawn tennis association. In marked
contrast to the opening days play
the majority of the matches were
won in straight sets and without a
semblance of an upset.
The greatest interest of the gallery
centered around the initial appear
ance of Ichiya Kumagae. Kumagae's
opponent was George w. Wightman
of the Longwood Cricket club, Bos-
ton, and while the oriental player
won in straight sets at 6-3; 60; 81,
Wightman offered enough opposition
again to demonstrate that Kumagae's
game has greatly improved since his
previous appearance in the 1916 tour
nament,
