Lucky Strike
By VIVIAN LEE
(Copyright, 11(, by the Weitarn New
paper Union.)
Jnsper Rolfe saved all lie earned
and was called a miser His nephew,
Morton Rolfe, spent nil he earned and
wns dubbed u fool by the old man.
To the former money nlwnys seemed
to say, "I've come to stay." To Mor
ton It Invariably whispered "Good
bye," until at last realizing thnt It
wns the cause of evil, good, happi
ness and sorrow alike, the extrava
gant young man decided he must set
down to a reasonable system If he
ever expected to amount to anything.
Ills uncle, while niggard as to his
own expenditures, had never restrict
ed Morton. He was n man of con
siderable wealth and owned the gas
and electric light company giving
service to Mlllvllle. .
"If you'll put me in charge of some
thing demanding real ability and labor, J
I'll tnckle It," he told his uncle. "I
don't want to travel on a pull, or re-
lntlotishlp, and I've about made tip "hiy
mind to settle up my debts and start '
out on my own initiative."
"Spoken like a man of ambition,"
commented Jasper Holfc, for he doubt
ed not that Morton would return n
veritable prodigal. "You're leaving
at a critical moment, though. There j
is going to tie a rich plum to pick and
some money to make on the wnter
supply system here. As yoti know j
uie present, operating company secure
their supply from the bottom of Arden
river, fifteen miles north. The stream
has nearly run dry this season and the
water has been unfit for use and n
lot of sickness has resulted. If I could
get the franchise and the pipe system
and reservoir nt a bargain, I would
cut over to Princeton river, twenty
miles west and Improve the service.
It would cost a fortune, but It would
bring an advance In rates and put the
stocks and bonds of the company on
n high basis, Afy Idea was to make
you active In the new enterprise."
Morton was not specially Interested
In the proposition. He had no plans for
the future, and after resigning his sec
retaryship drifted around Mlllvllle for
-a week, racking his brains for a solu
tion of the problem as to how he
' should begin to make a murk in the
world. Ho took long walks in the
country, and one day, crossing a bar
ren expanse between the two rivers
and not more than ten miles from
home, he met his fate.
Destiny came in the shape of as
pretty a girl as he had ever seen.
She even suggested wine vl'-l nnlnd
as she Hashed into view, h: Mess and
barefooted, crossing a tiny rivulet
crowded with rocks. She slipped,
fell, and with difhVulty dragged her
self to dry hind. In an Instant Mor
ton was by her side.
"You are hurt," he exclaimed solici
tously; and shy'y but bravely she
replied: "It Is only my ankle turned.
If you would go and tell niy father.
See, that Is our home Just over beyond
thnt sapling grove."
"I could carry you that far, If you
like," offered Mqrton. lie lifted her
bodily and soon reached a house hat
. tered and old. with an acre or two
under the dlfllcult cultivation that
sterile soil allowed.
The father attended to his Injured
daughter and thanked Morton for his
services. Somehow the fair-faced girl
and her rude, but picturesque home
was a lodestar of attraction to Mor
ton, and the next day found him at the
Isolnted habitation Inquiring after her
health.
She was Ruth Glenny, he learned,
and with her assistance her father
Just managed to eke out a Subsistence.
She sat In a rustic home-made arm
chair and her frank, Innocent' wnye
and unpretentious bearing charmed
Morton. He chanced to ask for a drink
of water and Mr. Glenny brought a
dipper full from n pall, so cool and
refreshing, and so different frorii that
served out nt Mlllvllle. that Morton
remarked that he must hnve a very
choice -well,
"Thnt water doesn't come from n
well, but a spring," enlightened Mr.
Glenny. "It burst out about a month
ago one night over beyond the timber
ridge yonder. "I want you to see It
A mnn who happened to pass here last
week says that It Is a marvel of nn
ture, nnd that he never saw a larger
well except In Floridn that Is known
as n great phenomenon."
Morton Rolfe looked aroused and
Interested as his host led him to the
spring in question. It bubbled forth
between two rocks, high nnd sparkling,
formlrig almost n torrent down a nnr
row rut.
"What a waste! hundreds of gal
lons n minute," exclaimed Morton.
"Where does It run to?"
"Over to the Princeton river, they
tell me," and Morton went back to
Mlllvllle thoughtful nnd calculating.
A week later ho had an expert hydro
engineer on the spot. Before the
month wns out he held a deed of co
pnrtnershlp with John Glenny. When
he hnd his pinna all perfected for pip
ing this supply of pure water to Mlll
vllle, he went before the town coun
cil and submitted a proposition thnt
brought them n fifty years' franchise.
"I never fancied I wns horn to bo
rich," observed John Glenny, when the
llrst returns from the Joint undertak
ing materialized.
"And I never hoped for wealth. Oh,
such treasure." responded Morton with
n devouring glance at Until, to him
the gratteit prize on enrth.

The Secret of
the Birch
By JESSIE E. SHERWIN
.$XjfMjMt4l3,J-?$''$',$$'
(Copyright, im, by th Weetern News
paper Union.)
Hnrdscrnbble farm wns well nnmcd,
nnd when John Lyle died and left the
place to his son Allan, the latter
viewed his heritage with grlniness, but
resolve.
"I am going to change It nt lenst
help nature along," declared Allnn to
his sister Morn. "The thousand dollnrs
father so closely honrded and left us
will Just about fix things up spick nnd
spun nnd quadruple the crops. Give
me Just one yenr of my own way, and
I'll show you the modern little farm
of all Dnvlss county. Then "
Allnn drew In his breath nnd, his
eyes llxed upon dlstnnce, sparkled with
n reflex of the golden picture he men
tally viewed. Motn smiled secretly.
The artful minx well knew the Impell
ing Idenl of the moment Lura Willis.
She was the daughter of n neighbor
with a large family, and the only girl
Allan had ever oved. Outspokenly,
they were as yet no more than friends,
but all Rockton decided they would
mnte some dny, nnd Lurn silently but
delightfully blushed when the soft Im
peachment wns hinted nt by her girl
friends. As to Allnm his dream of life
wns to see Lura queen of Hardscrab
ble developed Into nn Eden - spot
through his cherished Idens of Inten
sive farming. Lurn enme over to sec
Metn one day, with a bewildering piece
of news.
"What do you think I" she spoke,
"my rich relatives In the city, Uncle
Reuben nnd Aunt Deborah Hunter,
hnve sent for me to come and live
with them. You know they are very
wealthy and have no children, nnd
they write thnt I must live with them
for n year and go to a seminary near
their home, and when the year Is over
decide to become their adopted .daugh
ter or return home, as I elect."
"That Is grand 1" replied Meta cheer
lngly, but by no menus enthused. "Of
course you will see lots of the world
nnd live hi luxury, and nil that; but
what about Allan?"
"Why. what do you mean?" mur
mured Lura equivocally and flush
ing and paling by turns.
"He will miss you dreadfully, Lura,"
said Metn. "You don't know how much
he thinks of you, dear."
"No, I don't," lluttered Lurn; "but
I hope he does. He has been a true,
good friend, nnd I shall miss him,
too."
"Lura," said Metn with some grav
ity, "you are perhaps more to nlm
than lie to you. but don't forg"t him.
the dear fellow! I want to show you
something," and Meta led the way to
n silver arch In the garden. Upon It
n knife had cut the outline of two
hearts entwlne'd.
Lurn's eyes expressed suppressed
sentiment as she viewed the present
ment, one day originated by Allnn
when they were together. Both hnd
laughed in gentle bndlnnge over the
time-worn nonsense of lovers, but now
it hnd a deeper meaning for, removing
(i small section of bark of the birch,
Meta revealed an aperture.
"This seems to be Allan's treasure
house," said Meta, "and I thought It
right to have you know what it con
tains. See, little mementoes of his
acquaintanceship with you," and Metn
brought to light n faded nosegay, a
drled-up four-leaf clover, a cherished
bit of ribbon nnd some scrawled sheet
of paper.
"What are those?" Inquired tly curi
ous Lurn.
"Poetry or Allnn thinks It Is. nere
Is the beginning of one; 'Dourest
Lurn, to you I will be true "
Lura seized a pencil lying In the
unique cubby-hole and wrote under
the line: "And I, sweetheart, the very
same to you !" nnd, kissing the scrap of
pnper, and all emotion nnd blushes,
Lurn ran nwny as Allnn ,wns seen ap
proaching In the distance.
Allnn did not see Lurn again before
she went away. P rhaps her overt act
of liking for him embarrassed her;
perhaps she hesitated as to commit
ting herself before she saw what the
new life before her would bring. Meta
told Allan of the Incident of the birch
tree, and his face brightened, nnd the
dny that Lura left he stnrted In with
his fnrm work with a zest born of cour
nge and hope.
What n long, dreary yenr thnt wns I
Once a month Lura wrote a pleasant
letter to Meta. She named Allnn In a
friendly way, but most that the broth
er and sister heard was from outside
sources. They learned thnt she hnd
become quite a, society belle among the
Hunter set, and hnd grown more beau
tiful than ever. Then one day enme n
brief note to Metn. It mentioned thnt
the Hunters hnd come upon flnnnclnl
dlsnster; that they had tried to Induce
Lura to wed n wenlthy.'but obnoxious
suitor, and that she wns coming home
to stuy.
"And tell Allnn," the note concluded,
"that I have been taking a modern
farming course, nnd know nil nbout
crops and ensilage, and all that."
Crossing the field, Allan came upon
Lura at the old birch. She hnd not
noticed him, nnd his henrt gnve a Joy
ous bound as he saw her press her Hps
to the spot bearing their old-time love
chronicle.
"Is there one for me, too. Lura?" he
asked.
"Ob, I have been keeping It for you
ever so longl" she replied, nnd the
next moment wns enfolded In his lov
ing arms.
SHOWED SPIRIT OF AMERICA
Connecticut Youth Good Example of
the Men Tiat Made Victory
O.'er tlte Hun Certain.
What was the spirit, Trench, British,
Italian, American, thnt made possible
tliu day of the signing of peitce? Well,
us for , the Aniorlcan spirit, u story,
which Gen. Clarence Edwards told me
nt St. Mlhk'l, has the meaning as I
felt it, writes Luclan Swift Klrtlnnd In
Leslie's, lie wns visiting the hospital.
Just ns he was leaving n nurse ran
after him. "A Connecticut boy," she
said, "has hoard yon lire here. He has
begged me to nsk you to see him. lie's
dying, but ho doesn't know It. Ho
snys ho has a great favor to usk."
Just thou the chaplain came and had
the same request. They hurried back,
the chaplain leading. The boy looked
up nnd saw the chaplain.
"My God! Chaplain," ho called out,
"what urc you looking so dnrn glum
nbout? Just 'cause you think I'm go
ing to die and you don't know how to
tell me about It? II , what did 1
come over hero for? Didn't I come
over here to die if that had to be the
chance? Haven't I had my big chance?
Have 1 failed? What the h me you
worrying nbout?"
Just then he saw the general. "Oh,
General," he said, "excuse me for both
ering you, but I'm dying. I know It. I
don't wnnt to usk for favors, but the
Connecticut band Is here, and I thought
I'd nsk you If you'd have them come
and play Just onco outside here. I
want to hear the 'Connecticut State
March' Just once more."
In a minute the band was there
and it was playing the strains of the
march. The lad lifted himself up, a
'smile of satisfaction on his face. Ills
arm beat the time of the music. He
pretended to be lending the bnnd. At
the Inst note he dropped buck to his
pillow dend.
' Ple-Bald Truth.
Mr. Jones keeps pigeons, nnd Mr.
Brown, next door, tries to keep pigeons.
Mr. Brown Is constantly losing blr&s,
while Mr. Jones Is ns constantly sus
pected of finding them. The other
morning Mr. Brown, with n smile nnd
n dime approached the youthful son
nnd heir of Mr. Jones.
"Willie," begnn Brown, holding up
the coin, "did daddy find n bird yester
day?" Willie nodded.
"And was It a blue bird with some
white feathers In Its wing?" q
"Dunno," responded Willie, pocket
ing the dime. "You can't tell their
