The Runaway from Life

There are some things that are beyond human under
standing. How a healthy. normal man could seclude
himself on a tiny island for % years is one of them.
Most OF us have an urge, now and then, to escape from
our cares TO go adventuring, gathering the rag-tag ends
OF romance, and stretching our souls. But we do it mere
ly because we need a tonic to strengthen our exhilaration
Tor the tasks and the human contacts that make our
lives. Life goes stale if it doesn't give us a problem or
two to solve.
But now comes the story of Charles Hardenberg, who is
living a hermits life on Little Watts Island, no larger
than an average city lot, in Chesapeake bay. He grew
tired OF the world, so he ran away.
He had been a successful lawyer, owner of one of the
largest Libraries in New Jersey. But he didn't take a
Single book with him. He seldom reads a newspaper. He
has all the time in the world. but he never troubles to
make a garden. He doesn't live. He exists.
Across the bay the world has changed since he left it.
Iah buildings have gone skyward. Automobiles have
gained speed. Airships have winged their way close to
the stars. and men have gone down to the sea in ships in
more than enc war.
Haroenoerg has heard the faint ring of steel, the echo
CT martal music, and let them drift past his island home.
Hardenberg Is bored. Small wonder, we would saw.

Anniversary of
FRANCIS E Y BIRTH

On Aug. 9, 1870, Francis Scot: Key,
noted in American letters as the au-
thor of 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
was born in Frederick county, Mary
land.
Key, who was district attorney of
the District of Columbia, Washing
ton, visited the flagship of the British
fleet, which was then attacking Bal
timore, to obtain the release of a
friend who was a prisoner OF war.
This was granted, but the two were
detained for fear that, if allowed to
land, they would reveal the British
plans.
While daylight lasted, the men
watched the flag. When dawn re-
vealed it still floating above the fort
they knew the British attack had
failed. 1t was then that Key with

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXI
Judy paid a visit to her old home
. town on the first Sunday in De.
cember. She was anxious to see II
she could find any living relatives
OF her mother. who had been a ma
tive Of the thriving town. She was
SO oyerflowing with generous spirit
that she could not find enough peo-
pie to share her success.
She had come across one elderly
and very impecunious couple, The
husband was a distant cousin Of
her mother. and he had been a
scene shifter at the theater until he
injured his spine. They lived on a
very scanty pension.
Judy was in despair because OF
their scanty means: but she made
them take money. and she had a
splendid dinner sent in from a
hotel. She sat with them and de-
lighted them with her high spirits
and her laughter and her account
Of her wonderful life, which to
them was like a fairy tale.
She went for a walk when she
left them. She had a little while
before the train left for New York.
She walked on until she came to
the end Of a street. and then
climbed a steep path that led up to
the grassy hills above the town.

"Judy, l must. Clarissa doesn't

THAT isn't true. Clarissa loves

Then what does 1t mean?"
"She's found out"

"How? It's impossible!"

Thus Judy, in her uncompromis.
ing way. showed the denser male
mind what her feminine intuition
had OWNED from her friends con.
duct. Alan still struggled against
the truth.
II think you're wrong. Clarissa
is the soul of truth. She couldn't

"She deceived you." said Judy &C.
~cusingly; "but she didn't deceive

that she knows her own mind? You
won't marry me. Judy?"
Judy stamped her foot on the
y springy turf.

man on the EARTH"
Steyne gazed at Judy with In
credulity in his eyes. Any one
who was much with him Of late
must have noticed how seldom his
eyes were filled with laughter now.

II do mean it." she answered. +
His direct masculine intelligence
would not take it in. To him the
fact that Clarissa did not wish to
marry him was sufficient. 1t seemed
nothing short of madness to probe
into her motives. And-this was
a more cogent argument still-ii
Clarissa really did know that he
and Judy loved each other. then she
must realize that he and she could
never be happy together II they
we're to marry.
Judy assented to Steyne's sugges'
ton that they should walk a little
way together. Then they returned
to the town, and he asked her ia
have tea with him.
They sat in a corner of the lounge
of his hotel. which was q very
quiet one. He asked Judy to tell
him about her new life. He showed
evident satisfaction when she told
him that. outside OF her work. she
was living just as she had lived
before.

The Strain of a Championship

Bismarck golf enthusiasts were happy Friday to learn
chat Paul Cook had been successful in defending his state
amateur links championship and that the title will re-
main here another year.
They were pleased but not surprised at the manner in
which Paul kept grimly at his task in the face of hard
luck and when it seemed improbable that he would win.
The significant thing about it all is that Bismarck's
prize golfer displayed a fine competitive spirit, unflinch-
ing nerve and self-control remarkable in a man of his
few years. -
Few persons who have missed the experience of play
ing in one or who know little of the game of golf, can
appreciate the nervous strain which a major tournament
imposes.
On Monday there were the two l8-hole qualifying
rounds to determine the relative ranking Of the contend
ers. Thirty-two were assigned to the championship flight,
the rest to other classifications.
Then came two match-play rounds on Tuesday fol-
lowed by Snother on Wednesday and two more in the
semifinal matches on Thursday. Both Cook and Bill
Fowler, his opponent in the final contest, played those
rounds with the full realization that defeat meant their
elimination. They had to win or get out.
Then came the grueling test of the final match on
Friday, thirty-six holes of a game which makes a real
test of the nerve and moral fiber. Captains of industry
and men noted for their GOODNESS and elf-control have
been known to blow up" under the strain of competition
on the golf course.
What makes Cooks feat in winning a we'll deserved
victory all the more remarkable is that he fought an up
hill battle all the way. Not until the final stages of the
contest did he have the advantage. And then he capital
lied it to win the final victory. It took nerve to keep
plugging away when he was the under dog and it speaks
as well for Paul Cook, one of Bismarck's fine young men,
as it does for Paul Cook, Bismarcks finest golfer, that he
vas able to win against such competition and under such
circumstances.
Almost the same thing may be said for Fowler. II 1t
AXES nerve and stick to-it-iveness to keep plugging away
when one is behind. it takes almost as much nerve and
self-control to keep ones self in hand when he is ahead
Of a persistent and dangerous opponent.
Cook and Fowler are youngsters of whom Bismarck
and Fargo and the state of North Dakota may well be
proud.
That they are star golfers isn't half so important as
that they are fine, clean young men, representative of the
best type of North Dakotas young citizenship.
Naturally, Bismarck halls its returning champion, but
it also has admiration for the Fargo youth who was a
true sportsman in defeat and whose ability proved second
only to that of Bismarck,s star.

Answer: It would be unWise for
me to attempt to advise you without
having examined your child. Get the
opinion of two or more physicians
where you live and rely upon their
judgment. I have known many cases
to be cured by putting on a proper
