Long; Serpentine Wharf.
One of the longest' wharves in the
world, almost a mile long or to be
exact, 4700 feet, is at Port Los Angeles,
Cal. It extends into the Pa!
cilc in a long serpentine curve.
The reason for this construction is
( trat it offers better resistance to the
strong currents and the buffetings of
the waves than if it were perfectly
straight. Until the near-by harbor
of San Pedro was developed by the
Federal Government the big wharf at
Port Los Angeles was a very busy
place, but of late is comparatively
seldom used except by the Japanese
fishermen, who have formed a colony

I A "White Squall." |
By KATE L. WILSON.
"If you're afraid, don't come!" Be{
fore the Man hud received a glimmer
i of her purpose, the Girl had stepped
j lightly into the boat, and with a quick
j push of an oar was beyond his reach.
I The Man kicked off his shoes and
plunged into the lake. She bent
steadily to her bars, feigning not to
see him, but. strong, experienced
swimmer that he was. he was not
long in coming up with her. As he
grasped the edge of the boat, she ]
stopped rowing, and with flushed and i

self aboard. <
She cast furtive glances at him '
from beneath her long, dark laahes as
he wrung the water from his flannels.
His clear cut, sunburned face showed
no sign of vexation: he was actually
smiling to himself. She was conscious
of a distinct sense of chagrin.
"He has no spirit!" she thought with 1
' scorn. 1
I In vain had the Girl striven to move 1
this placid young farmer to some
| show of feeling during the long sumj
mer days that .they had been thrown 1
' together. His indulgent indifference 1
| to her moods piqued her. The im- ;
! periousness of her nature had here- '
; tofore made her admirers slaves to 1
her whims and moods, but her arts '
might as well have been employed
to create commotion in the breast of
the Rock of Gibraltar as in .the heart
of this great, kindly youth. The pleasi
ant farm that stretched along the
j shore was his. His was the picturj
esque farmhouse whose gray roof and
! big chimney showed just above the
| treetops half a mile away. There tne
I young girl had .come to rest and re:
cuperate from the combined effects '
! of hard study and social frivolities of 1
| her city home. The Man's apparent '
J sympathy and liking for the delicate!
appearing girl was at first resented by
| her as presumption, and she had
; promptly snubbed him. He had ac- :
; cepted her rudeness with such un|
ruffled dignity and kindly indifference
I that she as promptly regretted it and
| gradually entered into good fellowj
ship with him. She found him well 1
i read and familiar with the affairs of
j the day. It surprised her to discover
I in him a broadness of mind and edu- 1
i cation that many a city-bred man of
| her acquaintance lacked. He inter- '
i ested her more than she would admit
I to herself, but he gave no sign of any '
| sentiment toward her save that of a
! protecting friendliness, which he '
; manifested in a matter-of-fact way '
! that charmed her against her will. ^
I If the song of the birds was sweeter 1
! to his ears this summer than ever beI
fore, if the wind rustling through the
j :orn made new music, and all the
j tender green things appealed to his i
I :are more forcibly than in other sumj
mers; if life was more poignant and
| held a new hope and purpose for him
i since the Girl had smiled up into his 1
j ?yes, she did not suspect it. His self- 1
f contained. self-confident attitude '
i baffled her.
She was soon to return home, and '
i this afternoon tney naa gone to tne
| shore for a row around the lovely
wooded island overgrown with wild
roses and columbine, lying where the '
river emptied into the Great Lake. A J
clump of cedars crowned its highest ^
j point, while a stretch of shingle in|
vited voyagers to rest in its shores,
j Those who know Lake Ontario in
I all her moods?and .the Man had been
! reared almost upon her breast?both
| love and fear her. Her face is of
| surpassing beauty, but her smiles
| when most assuring are most deceiv- )
' ing. When she lies in perfect tran- '
| quillitv, her bosom fair and smooth as
i glass, with not a ripple nor breath .
! of motion, then the old fisherman
pulls his skiff higher on the shore and (
i makes an extra hitch in .the painter
j lest he find himself boatless on the ^
I morrow.
Something of this sort the Mau '<
had explained to the Girl this after- .
noon when they had reached the <
glassy waters and, pointing to the ]
I innocent-looking cloud bil'ows lying
j low in .the west, had refused to row .
; ner, witn tue result tnac sne was now ,
I pulling with effective strokes toward j
! the cedar-topped island, with the con
i quered youth, presumably in a proper .
; state of subjection, seated opposite ;
j her. The fleecy clouds had billowed <
I higher, and little green swells began j
j gently to heave the quiet depths
I "Give me the oars, the squall is
| coming'"
She had never heard his voice
i sound like that. Ic both frightened
j and delighted her. She laughed a
I defiant little laugh
"Swim ashore if you're afarid' I'm '
; captain of this boat," and she re|
sisted his movement to take the oars,
j He wrested them from her grasp with
; a white, terrible face
l "Don't be a fool." he said tensely

i of .the lake, ruffling the water until

| He was rowing with all his might
i toward the island. which was now
I nearer than the shore they had left.
I The Girl felt utterly crushed. For
j the first time she saw the steel of
fha \Tir? on tl n/itt' otir* C'.iw tVio
i menace in the sudden blackness of
J the heavens. A swish of rain wet her
! face, and in a moment they were in
i the teeth of a "white squall."
I The Man now had need of all his
strength and skill to keep the boat
in the trough of the waves and so to
manage her that the storm might
I drive tlicm ashore. A mighty pull to
enable them tr, rid^ in on an advancing
wave snapped his right oar, and in
a moment more they were caus-it
broadside aad hurled against a boulder.
His strong right arm encircled
the Girl, and with his left hand he
gripped the gnarled branch of an old
cedar that reached out from the shore
just as the boat, with its side crushed
in, fell from them with the retreating
waters.
At last, after struggling through
the breakers to shore, panting and
bruised they gained the slight shelter
of the cedars. Here they sank down
exhausted, the Girl with her face
hidden upon the Man's breast, while
the rain beat upon them.
Not a word was spoken. There
was no measure of time, but in those
moments while the tempest raged
without them, each heart was revealed
to the other. When at last
the darkness had passed and the Girl
raised her face, his bent to meet it.
''Wasn't it .terrible?" she murmured
tremulously.
His face was luminous. "Well, I
should say so! Eut even a white
squall may serve a good purpose.
And see, the sky has cleared already."
"Yes, I see." she answered, her
shining eyes upon his face.?Boston

you from reading or writing:

"The room is too cold.
"The room is too warm.
"The window will not close.
"The window will not open.
"The window is broken.
"The chair is broken.
"There is no comfortable chair.
"Now you turn your attention to

prevents this, there are

DESTITUTE CHILDREN.
(Yn Unusual Home For Them at Iona,
Minn.
No problem more puzzling than
that of the destitute child confronts
the practical sociologist; and perlaps
no single branch of philanthropy
has succeeded less in approximating
the institution to the home.
Iona, Minn., possesses a home for j
Ie3titute children that in many re- j
spects is unusual. Both boys and j
;irls are cared for. No child is ever
;iven out to be adopted. When a
aoy reaches the age of twenty-one he
.eaves the home and hoards out.
jirls remain until they marry or take
ip some calling that leads them elsewhere.
When a boy is sixteen he starts to
work. Many of the girls teach school,
joming to the home every Friday
ind remaining there until Monday,
rhere are no uniforms, and no unnecjssary
rules, the intention being to
make the home as nearly like a family
home as possible.
The children are allowed to invite
iriends to meais or to stay over night
Dccasionally, and after attaining to
the dignity of seventeen years they
ire permitted to return these visits,
rhus they lose the feeling that they
ire "inmates" of as institution, and
jnjoy some of the advantages of real
iiome life.

to its success. A system
which develops the destitute child in
such a sensible way into good citizenship
should be studied by sociologists
whose ideas are more formal
and less successful in the matter of
results.?Chicago Journal.
Railway Station Beseiged by Bees.
Six hives of bees despatched from
Guilford to Maiden, near Kingstonon-Thames,
were productive of an exciting
incident at Surbiton station.
The train did not stop at Maiden, and
an attempt was made to take the bees
out of the van at Surbiton. But one
of the hives fell to pieces and the porters
had to beat a retreat. The train
could not wait, and the van was taken
on to Waterloo, but subsequently was
returned to Surbiton
Once again the porters entered the
van and succeeded in dragging the
hives on to the platform. The bees

the best methods for enabling

their location after nightfall

plans have been proposed for a systematic
network of signal stations to

jne system has yet received official or
professional sanction, an initial step
n this important matter has already
3een taken at the town of Spandau in
Prussia, where an aerial lighthouse is
now in full activity. The necessity
3f such a construction has been felt
more particularly at this point, where
the experiments of the German War
Office with aerial craft are largely
conducted and nocturnal flights are |
increasingly frequent.
This pioneer beacon for aerial guidance
is comparatively simple in its
construction. It consists of an elevated
support on which rests in a
horizontal position a wooden ring of
considerable diameter; thirty-eight
powerful incandescent electric Sghts
ire placed at equal distances about
the circumference, and there is an
Automatic arrangement for interrupting
the current at regular intervals
for a short period.
The location of Spandau is thus
clearly indicated to a traveler passing

Dus; Up a Hidden Treasure.
The people of this community are
wondering who was the mysterious
stranger who visited the ancient
adobe hut a mile north of here a few
evenings ago and dug up a box or
nan that had been buried there fifty
years or more. It is supposed he car- i
ried away a large quantity of gold
bullion that belonged to Glanville
Swift, an early day miner who lived
in this hut while operating in the
mines in the hills east of Chico, leaving
in the early '60s with nearly
$750,000 in gold, which took six
weeks to weigh and required a pack !
train and strong guard to transport '
ont of the country
The stranger was neen loitering j
ibout the adobe hut one evening, and ,
a Mr. Fawcett, who lives near, tried i
to learn his mission, but failed. The |
next morning Fawcett found where I
a box or can had been dug up during !
the night There were several stakes '
showing that measurements had been J
made from a chart to locate the place
to dig. Only one hole was made.
When Glanville ?>wift weighed his |
gold he found two or more large j
porter bottles of it missing. It is sup- j
posed they were stojen and huried I
ind that this stranger learned of
their whereabouts ?Orland Corres-:
