LETTER F1MTIP

(Continued from Page One.)

Tippecanoe. Catch the Doctor, his son, Joe. or the Rev. Lichliter, his son-in-law, in their genial tnoods and we will wager their iishy and other stories will be very entertaining.

The Strickland, Hughes and McCole crowd who landed here in a storm and had to fight mosquitoes, rats and flying squirrels through the nights, saw the dark side of Tippecanoe camp life, but we imagine they can speak in high praise of Tippecanoe Lake and its beautiful surroundings.

There have been other Greenfield and Hancock count}' people here this summer and all have been well paid for their visit. As for the Cooper family and their niece, Miss Gilbreath, they are getting all out of their vacation that there is in it. The Sunset cottage makes a happy home for us six weeks each year. We are nicely located on a bluff 40 feet above the Lake, with a magnificent breeze and view of the lake, with plenty of fish and other good Jthings to eat, and oh my, we do eat, sleep well, drink gallons of our pure ice cold water and haven't an acbe nor a pain. Isn't such an ideal life? We often wish that more of the busy ^people-of Greenfield could enjoy an outing up on Old Tippecanoe. Why not? It costs but little, no more than home living. *Why*not add ten }*ears to your life?

We must not close without mentioning our neighbors, the Bruces and Thomsons, of Indianapolis, who are nicely situaten in their cottage just north of us. Their thorough knowledge of the lake and surrounding country along with '(.their good substantial neighborly ways makes them valuable neighbors indeed. Mr. Thompson, better known as Archie, is the handy man of the camp. The children all soon make his acquaintance and they have a good time making whistles, boats and other playthings. They catch about as man)' tish as any party on the landing.

Mr. Tate, of Anderson, and Harry Hall, of Indianapolis, are the pioneer fishermen of the Bougher landing and its an easy matter for them to land five or six pound bass, while we poor mortals think we are fortunate to hook a two or three pounder. Mrs. Baugher will have thirty boarders down at the farm house this week. Her dinners entice people from all over the State.

There are several landings on Tippecanoe Lake and quite a number of very fine cottages, some costing from S2.500 to 3:5,000 dot its shore line, which re he to 1 2 Tippecanoe Lake is the third largest in the State and has the distinction of being the deepest. A depth of 120 teet has been found. In the fall and spring a large number of ducks is found here. A party of six people of North Webster last fall in the back waters of Webster lake, (a mile east of us) killed four hundred and eighty-seven ducks in less than a day, a pretty good fish story, but the good people of Webster vouch for this catch. These lakes have rich deposits of marl which will be very valuable some day. Mrs. Cooper is a stickler for the early to bed proverb, so we will hike to bed and dream of lish, fish, fish.

Respectfully, •J. W. Coo

Merfcon's Ambition

By Martha McCuiioch-Williams

"DON'T YOU KEMEMBEK ETTA liiiT'CK?"

might have made a great man of you at any rate she would havy made you a man. This other one will uiaie you an article of 'bigotry and virtue, something dearer than her parrot, a littie better than her lapdog. You'll have a lapdog ease, but. you won't lit the position. You're too big and hulking made too much like a man"— "Stop!1 I won't bear that even from you," Merton said hoarsely. Bemis swung on his h"el. "I apologize for saying it—to myself," he said, walking away.

As tlie door shut behind him Merton was tempted to run after him, to sue humbly, to confess his own weakness, but somehow he did not quite do it. Instead he took from the mantel his fiancee's lust gift, a miniature of herself, richly framed, flung it down as if to grind it with his heel, but after a minute raised it and set it in place, with the face to the wall.

Five years after his wedding day he recalled the moment, the trivial action, with a mad longing to treat the original as then he had been tempted to treat the portrait. He had indeed found himself ranking between the household parrot and lapdog, albeit he had the freest possible hand at the Grey money. That was his only freedom. Mrs. Merton laid claim to the greater part of his waking hours. She was a shallow creature, kindly enough, but forever craving change, amusement, the diversion of new faces, new scenes. To her way of thinking the end and the aim of manhood was either to make money or, having it ready made, to spend it. "I won't have you bother me with politics—only low people go into it." she had said airily before the honeymoon wiis out. Even the prospect of being some day Mrs. Ambassador had not made her change. "I want to have good times now—not wait for them till I'm old and haggard," she had said. It was the same with his profession or any business venture. "I am business enough for you," his wife protested, adding in the next breath, "Besides, what other business would

bring you

flit.

"So it's a case of tin* iw lady," Bemis snkl, chuckling hard. should have

duuht as to which

would win if I didn't know about the other lady." Morton Hushed ancrily and frowned. "l"ou know nothing ol the sort. Therf' isn't any •other lady' "Which her name it is Ilonrie .vHenrietta Bruce." Bemis interriuued. still ehuekling. but fn-owinjx jn'ave as he added. "And if you let yourself leave her in the lurch. Jack, you're a cad of the tirsl water." "There is 110 question of takiu.s or leaving," Merton began, trying to brave it out. but at the end dropping his head and half whispering: "You—you are right, Xed. Etta loves me, and I love her. better than all the world, except niy ambition. I want to be somebody—somebody worth while. The way is open—if only I marry Mrs. Grey. She has virtually told me that as her husband her whole million will be at my command. If I don't marry her, what chance have IV The ten years I must starve to make myself a lending lawyer will put me hopelessly out of the race. Now I can win almost anything political—if I can afford to take it. Mere money does not tempt me so very much—but power—that is the thing I crave. Besides, I can't bear to think of Etta waiting, working, fading, for me when she might be happy in a home of her own if I were out of the way." "I don't think she'd mind," Bemis said dryly. "When may I look for cards, Jack? And does Etta know?" "Go and tell her, you are so sure!" Merton burst out. "As to cards, there will be none. We start—we start for California as soon as the wedding is over." "So you came for my advice—after the fact. I suspected as much,-' Bemis said, his mouth hardening. "I don't wish you joy, Jack you don't deserve It. You are throwing away a pearl among women becafise you are vain enough to believe that you have in you the makings of a great man. Etta

million dollars before you

have one gray hair?" Outwardly an enviable mortal, he was sick and tired of everything—most of ail himself. Now and again he sighed for the stin s. the limitations of the old time, and caught himself wondering how it would seem to be free. He knew nothing of Henrietta. There was an air cement between him and his wife upon one point if

110

other.

She was iirm that they would neither ask nor hear anything of his old friends, his native place. So was Merton—albeit down in his heart of hearts he was hungry for tidings. lie wondered sometimes how Bemis had fared. He wondered still more if Etta were married. Thought of her did not give him a heartache, but rather a slniiined self contempt. lie tried hard to deaden all feeling. Apathy was the best shield against the evils he endured. But sometimes when he saw other men in the l'uil tide of manly activity his heart rose up hotly against the woman who had bought him to be the slave of her caprice.

She was forever taking up things and drop)ling them. Thus she came to own a fever for coaching. I11 bright, early autumn weather she planned a long drive across country, one that would take at least a month. Merton fell in with her plan. He knew protest was idle. And thus in the middle of his journey he came to know fully what he had thrown away.

It was a mile out of a thriving railway town when the coach had lost a linchpin and was disabled that a storm drove its occupants to the shelter of the nearest house, a pretty villa, spacious, but unpretentious, with gay autumn flowers all about it and thrifty trees throwing up its red roof and gray walls. There was a rocking horse upon the piazza, a baby's cap lying limp on the rail. And the woman who answered Mrs. Merton's imperious knock held the baby itself In the hollow of her arm as she flung the door hospitably open and said: "So the storm is to blow me good—in the sight of old friends. Don't you remember Etta Bruce, Mrs. Merton? I'm Mrs. Bemis now and very glad to see you. Come in. I shall keep you all night. Ned will not be home until almost 9. He went to see the governor today, and I know he would never forgive me if I let you go away without seeing him." «.

Then she shook hands with Merton as calmly as though they never had been more than casual acquaintances. He found himself catching his breath as he looked at her. She was less fresh than of old, but so wonderfully, spiritually beautiful, with the beauty of mother love, mother happiness. "I needn't ask you how you are. Etta," said Mrs. Merton. "No wonder you're happy, though, with two children," as a sturdy little lad came shyly through the inner door to ambush himself in his mother's skirts. "I free years old and goin' to be a man when I drows up," he volunteered when Mrs. Merton had coaxed him into finding his tongue.

Merton winced as he heard the prattling voice. The old love was dead, with so much else that was best in him, but still there were some faint stirrings of ambition. lie was wondering if indeed the woman he had loved and left might not have made him, too, a man.

"Hi, there!" sho.uted the policeman. "You get off them stops. You don't belong there." "I knoAV we don't," pleaded a pretty girl in blue silk, but won't you please let us stay here long enough to get our pictures taken? We won't hurt anything." "Possibly you won't," rejoined the policeman, "but that is not the question. The folks that own this house have got so tired of seeing a bunch of strangers perched upon their steps getting their pictures taken that they've given me orde/s to shoe, off every party that I see making preparations. "You see, the trouble is you sightseers have run the business into the ground. Most, of the millionaires in this street are pretty good natured. but when it comes to unloading a whole bus load of strangers at their house a dozen times a day so that the different members of the pp.vty can send a photograph home showing how they looked standing on Mr. Kichman's steps they show fight. At any rate, the man that lives here does. So you'll have to move 011. There's a house three doors from here that is owned by a man that's worth just as many millions as this one. You can do down there and be tiiken if you like. His folks are not at home."—New York Post.

A City Directory Pnzz.Ie.

City directories contain many items of interest. Some of them are in the nature of revelations others are puzzles. Among the latter class may be mentioned the queer case of the man whose Christian name was withheld from the publishers. His surname is there, all right, and a good, respectable name it is, too, of two syllables and a German prefix, but the name bestowed upon him at the baptismal fount he refused to make public.

The directory says that he refused. It is there in big letters, iwlisid in parentheses (Refused). Then follows the honorable patronymic. That reticence in regard to the Christian name is the source of many subtle reflections on the part of the reader. Why was the name refused? Was it nneuphonious, unpronounceable, unspellable or was it— But these suppositions lead one into amaze of conjecture that is positively bewildering so, although the subject is fraught with interest, it is perhaps best to leave to his OAVU consciousness the reason why that man's Christian name was "Refused."—New York Press.
