S
Now York, Aug. 11 The war has
put pep Into harbor Mountain. No
longer doe th small motor launch,
th oat-boat or houseboat wnd Hi
way down tli harbor linchallanged
nd unmoloated. On really appre
ciate th fact that America la "to"
after water Jaunt.
Every craft, large or imall la held
up by the government patrol boats
and aiKed for an account of Hsolf.
Of cours the large ateamoro r eas
ily discernible snd therefor not
stopped.
Put woe betide the private yacht
or oraft of any description that at
tempt to get by. It may cruise
along; for miles. Its occupants smit
ing at tbe thought of putting on
07 on Unci Sam. At this Juncture
a Ibuslness Ilka patrol boat Is liable
to com alongside. A murderous
looking mounted gun may b seen
and from th boat a stentorian vole
direct that 4h craft put (back and
report to th mother ship. And th
oraft that tried to run th gauntlet
goes tack.
Another stern reminder that th
United State mean business Is th
buoy marking th position of th
groat steel chain extending across
th harbor. Th chain Is designed to
take car of any U-boat that com
this way, Th harlior la an unheal
thy place for a hei-alined sailboat.
Twould 'bo d eHded ly unhealthy, the
authorities will tell you, to allow
your boat to bump Into any stray
floating object. Mines are no respec

Surely It will be a great Joy to ber!
"So the stork took the little baby frtrl
In his Ioiik benk and flew away with
ber to the timbered liousof the viking.
Here he pecked a bole In the bladder
lc In tbnt covcied tbe window, for
there was no window gloss In tboso

done, like tbe good husband be was,
he Hew borne and told Mother Stork
nil about It. The baby storks heard

were ins ciiougn to umiersinnu.
" 'So you see our princess Is not dead,
after all. Bhe must have sent her baby
up here. And I found It In the bog
dint uiade a home for it,' said Father
Stork, finishing bis story.
" 'I said so from tbe very first that
