Quite a Heroine
BY ALVAH J. GARTH

60. 1920. Western Newspaper Union.)
A young girl, modeStly uttired,
graceful and lovely, came down TO the
boat landing at Bolivar and bestowed
mods and smiles upon the captain and
helmsman about the little craft mOored
there.
Erwin Trask did not take his eyes
away from her from the moment she
had come In view of the top. OF m
incline isading down to the waters
edge. She carried two large pasteboard
boxes which she set carefully upon q
stool.
Just In time. Captain Taft" she
remarked to the rotund. bustling own
or Of the launch. "Wili you stop for
me Mt Ashten?" .
WED stop for you In the middle
OF the ocean II you asked us to. honey
girl" responded the captain with gem
uine ardor. En- Baritone"
! Every time" piped the man Mt tho
wheel enthusiastically, and then cap
tain and wheelinnn chatted with her
about the health Of her father, things
up ut the little farm and a variety Of
subjects. er.ncing an intimate knowl.
edge Of her affairs end an interest In
the same.
The girl looked sweet enough to de.
serve the name bestowed upon her
'honey glrl''-but Trask soon discov.
cred that this was not. as he had Mt
first supposed. a familiar endearing
epithet. She was called honey girl'
because her father operated a small
farm specializing In honey md bees.
He reared and dealt in rare and dc
sirnbie breed OF italian bees and
shipped as well us delivered them all
over the country. The two boxes tho
girl had brought aboard probably held
some Of these. which she was taking
to customer at distance.
Two grim faced. unprepossessing
looking men taken aboard up the river
sat by themselves mt the stern Of the
boat. No particular attention was
paid TO them. They had paid their
fare for the through trip. They got
mp and moved about the deck with
some animation. however, as the boat
traverscd part or the river that
broadcned out, with little islands here
and there. The captain had gone ur
