"The Face
In the Well
By EDWARD T. STEWART
K *
Driving along a country road, since
I had not watered my steel borse—
that Is, put water In my radiator tank
—for come time, I looked out for a
place to fill It I came presently to a
farmhouse where a girl sat on a porch.
I saw a well house on the grounds and,
pulling up at the gate, asked bar If she
would permit me to fill my tank. Bhe
hesitated, then said:
"You'll hare to draw the water your
self."
"Of course I'll draw It myself. Why
did you think I would expect you to
doitr
"1 wouldn't If I were you."
"Wouldn't what?"
"Draw the water."
I looked at her curiously. Bhe was
dressed In white and Mack. There was
a marked sadness in her visag*.
"Why do you advise me not to draw
the waterr I asked.
"Because a face wlU look up at you
out of the well that will freeze the
marrow in your bones."
It was evident to me that bar miad
was unhinged, but I was curious aid
encouraged bar to tell me more about
the face In the well. Bhe hesitated a
moment, then said:
"I had a brother. Be and father
didn't get on well at all. It seemed to
me that the reason was that Ben came
when father was passing into old age
"One evening father was lecturing
Ben, reproaching htm for the trouble
he gave. I was sitting hi my room by
the window. I beard high words be
tween them, and then I saw in the
gloaming Bon run out over the ground,
it was nearly dark, and I could see him
ocly as far as the well house. Father
followed him there. The last I saw of
them father's hand was raised to b trite.
I covered my face with my hands, and
that is the lust I knew o< anything for
a week.
"Wuen i returnsa to conKiuwucn *
knew that father had killed Ben and
thrown him down the well"
She paused and shuddered.
"How do you know your father did
that?"
"Oh, I know it, I know It !**
She manifested such emotion that I
gave her time to recover from it. When
she bad done so, she continued:
"I felt what had been done, though I
said nothing of it to any one. They
told mo Ben had gone away. As soca
as I was able I went to the welL I
dreaded to look down Into It, but I
couldn't help doing so. I approached
and put my hands on the stone coping
and remained In that position till I
could bring myself to look down at the
water below.
"I gare a shriek and fell to the
ground. They all came running out of
the house and carried me beck to bed."
"What frightened youf*
"I saw Ben's face down to the well"
I needed no further Information as to
the cause and nature of the girl's trou
ble. I did not try to assist her out of
her malady, but, going to the wall,
drew a bucket of water, filled my tank
and, having thanked her, got Into my
car and drove away,
I found It Impossible to get this girl
out of my mind. A desire took posses
sion of me to cure her ailment Later
I drove back to the place and got the
balance of her story from her neigh
bors. Her father and her brother had
really had trouble. The boy had fled,
and the father had followed him. The
father returned to the houBe, but the
boy had never been seen there since.
It occurred to me that the way to
cure the girl was to find the boy. I
learned his name, but to find any indi
vidual In this big world Is like lookhjg
for a needle In a haystack. The girl
had certainly a marked effect on roe or
I would never have undertaken the
task. She was on my mind all the
while. I suppose I had fallen in love
with her. At any rate. I was under a
spell concerning her.
Since I could not divert myself of
my enthrnllment I went to work me
thodically. If George English—that
was his name—had not gone to Borne
foreign country, there was a chance.
I spent a great deal of money advertis
ing, but to no effect.
Meanwhile the great world war
broke out. Considering the young
ster's idiosyncrasies, I thought It pos
sible that he might hare wished to
have a hand in It. If so he would
probably have gone to Canada and en
listed there. I went there and, exam
ining the rosters of the different ros
ters, found his name on the rolls of an
infantry regiment.
I doubled If anything short of pro
ducing the young man himself would
cure the Invalid, so I said nothing
about the trace I had found, but con
cluded to go to Belgium, find him and
if I could not bring him home arrange
for his sister to go to him. While I
was making my preparations I saw In
a newspaper an announcement that
George English of the British aero
plane corps had brought down his fifth
enemy In the air.
The puzzle now was how to bring
George to his sister or take her to him
The former was not to be considered.
The latter I finally effected by going to
relatives of hers, whom I convinced
that if she saw her brother alive sh«
would probably be cured of her mal
ady. They took her to France and
from there to the British Hues, where
her brother appeared to her in the flesh.
The principal part of the cure was
effected at once, but a complete resto
ration did not come for many months.
Of course after what I had don# for
her I had a great advantage In win
ning her.

Mother's Doll Story
The Wild Indian
• a
Once upon a time there was a little
boy who owned an Indian doll. This
doll was a chief—Clilef Eugle Face.
Chief Eagle Face wore a khaki gir
dle about his waist, but his brown legs
were bare, like his chest. Across his
broad shoulders he wore a strip of red
flannel, stuck full oi' turkey feathers;
also his hair was coarse and long. In
fact, it looked Just like horsehair
Maybe It was horsehair.
Anyway, Chief Eugle Face bad his
coarse hair stuck so full of feathers
that they trailed way down his back
so fur that they touched bis heels.
And this is the friend doll that a little
boy liked best to take out In the yard
to play with every day.
One beautiful day t!:e neighbor's dog
sneaked through the back fence. Chief
Eagle Face was taking a quiet nap
while the little boy was eatiug his
luncheon.
"Bowwow!" warned the neighbor's
dog. "Bowwow 1"
And then he struck his sharp teeth
right into the feathers down the back
of Chief Eagle Face and shook and
shook till every feather but one lay
there in the grass. But he would never
have dared do it if Chief Eagle Face
had not been napping.
Game of Circus.
To play "circus" the players stand
round In a circle while one, the ring
master, flourishes a real whip, If pos
sible, and, turning in a circle, snaps
his fingers at the players. Tbey must
imitate various animals by cries and
motions. The donkey kicks and brays,
the hen scratches and cackles, tfie
cow moos, the frog croaks and hops.
When the ringmaster says, "We will
all Join the circus parade," the ani
mals gallop round In a circle, each act
ing his part. The one who fails to
act the part given him must drop out
of the game or pay a forfeit
Queat!ona.

Does he shut liia eyes?
