THE EARLY BIRD By ELIZABETH NOLAN. (Copyright, K1 by th McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) - "Get up, fur goodness Hike, Tieth Moore. This Is the third time I've call ed you. You said we should go In bathing every morning before break fast, and here a whole week of our vacation is near gone and we have not been In the water once." "All right groaned Beth, as she sleepily rubbed her eyes. "I'll get rtjiht up. Ion go ahead and Til be down In a minute." "Now, be sure," said Jennie, as she ran downstairs, out onto the beach and to the water's edfte, where she com fortably seated herself to await Beth's arrival The two girls had planned months past for this big vacation the first two weeks of August Hunting through vacation books and time tables they finally had settled upon Sallshury Beach. Of course, the bathing Xjfia to be their greatest amusement as both were expert swimmers. Quite con trary to their plans, however, danc ing and bowling had occupied most of their time op to the first week's end. Jennie waited ior nearly half an hour and then decided that Beth must have turned over, only to fall asleep, on the other side, as she hnd so often done before. Knowing that it must be near breakfast time she thought she would take one plunge before return ing. At first the water seemed Icy cold, but after a' few minutes fhe was wish lug that she had longer to stay, the water was so Invigorating. Just one more good swim and then Bhe would go and dress for breakfast, she said to herself. But alas I It was one swim too many for Jennie Dever." Carried out by the mighty waves and held by the strong undertow, she could not swim an inch nearer the shore. To scream would be of no use as there was not a soul on the whole beach, so courageously she fought the waves, still hoping to be able to make some progress. To her great surprise and relief she could now see the form of someone In the distance hastening to ward her. . Oh ! thought Jennie, will they ever get here? Tom Hurd, clerk at the "Castle Mona," had been watching the "early bird," and now, convinced that she was in distress, ran down the bench and hastily seized the life-saving bont, dragged It Into the water. Bowing out as quickly as possible, he was Just In time to rescue the prostrate form from sinking. Others had now gathered round the shore ready to receive them, with all things necessary to make the victim as comfortable as possible. Tom deposited his burden In the great warm blankets and hastily they carried her to the hotel. Poor Jennie, too exhausted to speak, soon found herself resting comfort ably In her own bed, while Beth, eyes brimming over with tears, lamented the fact that she had fallen asleep again almost Immediately after Jen nie left her. "How nice that fellow was who res cued you. Tve seen him around here all week," continued Beth. "I think he must be employed here." Gaining no reply from Jennie she did not en thuse further over the hero of the day. , 'Noticing that Jennie was dozing she quietly took a mngwlne and tried to Interest herself in it Presently a gentle knock on the door announced the arrival of Miss White, the propri etress, with breakfast for the two girls. "Gracious," said Beth, "how kind of you. I had completely forgotten that it was past eating time." Jennie roused herself sufficiently to take a few sips of coffee while Beth fairly devoured the delicious corn muf- fins. A good sound sleep greatly improved Jennie, and the afternoon found her seated In an easy chair on the spacious veranda, while Tom Hurd occupied the chair by her side. After supper that evening Jennie re tired quite early, and Tom found him self wondering how he had spent other evenings. Tonight there seemed to be no place to go, or nothing worth while to do. But tomorrow evening she would be nble to stay up, and possibly to go to the dance, too. The thought alone was consoling to him, and in idle dreams he spent the evening until lock ing up time arrived Jennie rested all day, and finally yielding to Tom's coaxing, she agreed to take a short stroll along the beach after supper. Was it to be wondered at that Dan Cupid completed his errand In that one evening? What more powerful weapons could there be than the "sil very moon," combined with the enchanting "sad sea waves" to work successfully on two loving hearts. "Just as soon as I finish medical school," added Tom, "and how glnd I am this is my last year." , Arm in arm they returned to the , "Castle Mona," Jennie too happy for . words, and Tom convinced that he had won the sweetest girl In the whole world. , , ' When Jennie returned to her home how surprj d were her friends to see a sparkling diamond on the third finger of her left hand, for as Beih explained to. her acquaintances that was the rooming that "the early bird caught the worm." Seeded to Be Both, Maid There's a gentleman calling, sir. Man of the Ilouse In person or on the telephone? 'Yes, sir; he's calling In person oa the telephone, sir."

GENERAL KINSHIP WITH SEA Fondness for Salt Water 8eem to Be a Characteristic of the Whole Human Race. A kind of kinship with the sea Is In every one of ns, says Boys' Life, the Boy Scouts' magazine. Noah built the ark as a matter of religious duty, we are told. But if old Noah could have written a few lines to go with the half dozen paragraphs of the Bible narrative not for religious effect but as a man to man, to let us know Just how he felt about the Job what a story It would have been 1 A landsman, getting ready for his first voyage! Big and important re sponsibilities to carry, but back of all the study, all the labor, and the "kid ding" of his friends, that ecstasy of anticipation that grips your throat and makes you want to yell for Joy. Noah was a "regular fellow." You can tell that by the way he "carried on You bet the fact that he was performing a religious duty didn't make him feel like some folks look in prayer meeting. You bet that when he put aboard the ark one pair of worms, per order, he put In an extra few for bait You bet he. had that same hankering for the sea that you and I have. It's In the very blood of every mao. J Remember how, when you were a Ktu, you put your finger In your mouth aft er cutting It with your first Jnck- knife? Didn't the blood taste willy? Ask any doctor what they put Into man'a velni to fill them when he hn lost a lot of blood. He will tell you "alt water." Poesn't that prove our kinship to the tea? Did you ever kriow even a grown up to pass a gang In iwlmmlng, or a kid with a string of flsh, or even a picture of a ship, without stopping a minute to look? It cant be done. Wt all love tho water. Germany Labor Army. "Our growing labor army" Is the de scription applied by the Huns to their prisoner of war. According to a com munique In the Infest Berlin papers, Germany and her vnsnil between them now hold 8,57f.0OO prisoners. For the first time the German military au thorities lay itress on tho supreme value of their prisoners as man power for Industry and agriculture. They are so numerous, It Is asserted, that they go fnr toward compensating Germany for the men she has had to withdraw from pnceful pursuits for active mil- "r im , " . " " " urctja. "The greatest competition arose through the Introduction of the so called Russian cherries. These came along with the other Russian fruits, mainly In the Importations of 1870 and lass, and were exploited mainly In the Northwest states. "Prof. J. L. Budd propagated sev eral of these sorts and recommended them highly. Ir this company were included Vladimir, Lutnvka. Sklanka, Osthelm, George Glass, Double Na.tte, Llthnucr, Brnsseler, Braune, Bessn- , rnblnn, Bunte Amerelle and Spaete i Amarelle.

"Women can deal with many ques tions thf ' "nnnot deal with," says the Rev. N. of the City Temple. laving Wool Rags. The answer to the question, "Why should we save wool?" Is that a fully equipped soldier uses 13 times as much wool as does a civilian. Also that there are not enough sheep raised to meet the needed wool supply.
