CHAPTER II. Claude and his mules rattled into Frankfort just as the calliope went screaming down Maine street at the head of the circus parade. Getting rid of his disagreeable freight and his uncongenial companions as soon as possible, he elbowed his way along the crowded sidewalk, looking for some of the neighbor hoys. Mr. Wheeler was standing on the Farmers’ Bank corner, towering a head above the throng, chaffing with a little hunchback who was setting up a shell game. To avoid his father. Claude turned and went into his brother’s store. The two big show win dows were full of country children, their mothers standing behind them to watch the parade. Bayliss was seated in the little glass cage where he did his writing and bookkeeping. He nodded at Claude front his desk. ‘‘Hello," said Claude, hustling in as if he were in a great hurry. "Have >ott seen Ernest Havel? I thought I might find him in here." Bayliss swung around in his swivel chair to return a plow catalog to the shelf. "What would he be In here for? Better look for him in the sa loon.” Nobody could put meaner in sinuations Into a slow, dry remark th. i Bayliss. " > laude’s cheeks flamed with anger. As lie turned away, lie noticed some thing unusual tkbout his brother’s face, hut he wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of asking him how ho had got a black eye. Ernest Ha vel was a Bohemian, and he usually drank a glass of beer when he came to town: but he was sober and thought ful beyond the wont of young men. From Bayliss’ drawl one might have supposed that the boy was a drunken loafer. At that very moment Claude saw his friend on the other side of the street, following the wagojv of trained dogs that brought up the rear of the procession. He ran across, through a crowd of shouting youngsters, and caught Ernest by the arnj. "Hello, where are you off to?” "I'm going to eat my luneh before show time. I left my wagon out hy the pumping station, on the creek. What about you?" "I’ve got no program. Can I go along?" Ernest smiled. "I expect. I’ve got enough lunch for two." "Yes, I know. Y’ou always have. I’ll Join you later." Claude would have liked to tak> Ernest to the hotel for dinner. He A Schwab Safe ia the heat invest ment you can make.

In the Wheeler family a new thrasher or a new automobile was ordered without a question, hut It was considered extravagant to go to a hotel for dinner. If his fathei or liayiiss heard that he had been there —and liayliHs heard everything—they would say he was putting on airs and would get back at him. He tried to excuse bis cowardice to himself by saying that he was dirty and smelled of the hides; but in his heart ho knew that he did not ask Ernest to go to the hotel with him because he had been so brought up that it would be difficult for him to do this simple thing. He made some purchases at the fruit stand and the cigar counter, and then hurried out along the dusty road toward the pumping station. Er nest's wagon was standing under- ihe shade of some willow treys, on a little sandy bottom half enclosed by a loop of the creek which curved like a horseshoe. Claude threw himself on the sand beside the stream and wfpetl the dust from his hot face. He felt he had now closed the door on his disa greeable morning. Ernest produced his lunch basket. “I got a couple bottles of la-er cool ing In the creek,” he said. I knew you wouldn't want to go in a saloon.” "Oh. forget it.” Claude muttered, ripping the cover off a Jar of pickles. He was 1ft years old, and he was afraid to go into a saloon, and his friend knew he was afraid. After lunch Claude took out a hand fill of good cigars he had bought at the drug store. Ernest, who couldn't afford cigars, was pleased. He lit one, and ns he smoked he kept looking at it with an air of pride and turn ing it around between his fingers. The horses stood with their heads lover the wagon box, munching their loots. The stream trickled liy under the willow roots with a cool, persua , -ovn sound, Claude and Ernest lay In | I the shade, their coats under their heads, talking very little. Occasional I ly a motor dashed along the road I toward town, and a cloud of dust amt a smell of gasoline blew In over the I | reek bottom: but for the most part I j i he silence of the warm, lazy sum met- noon was undisturbed. Claude could usually forgot his own vexa lions and chagrins when he was with Ernest. The Bohemian hoy was never I uncertain,, was not. pulled In two or i three wavs at once. He was simple | unil direct. He had a number of iin personal preoccupations: was Inter • ested in politics and history and in 1 new Inventions, Claude felt that his friend lived in »n atmosphere of men tal liberty to which he himself could never hope to attain. After he had j talked with Ernest for awhile, the things that did not go right on the farm seemed less important. Claude's mother was almost as fond of Ernest as he was himself. When the two boys were going to high school ! Ernest often came over in the eve : ning to study with Claude, and while I they work' d at the long kitchen ta ! hie Mrs. Wheeler brought her darn I ing and sat near them, helping them j with their Latin and algebra. Even 1 old Mihailey was enlightened by their | word* of wisdom. Mrs. Wheeler said Bhc would never ; forget the night Ernest arrived from . ' Hie old country. His brother, Joe Ha- | | vel, had gone to Frankfort to meet ; I him, and was to stop on the way ; home and leave some groceries for the Wheelers. The train from the east was late: p was in o'clock that night , i when Mrs. Wheeler, waiting In the J kitchen, heard Havel's wagon rumble i across the little bridge over Lovely | |Creek. She opened the outside door, ; land presently Joe came In with a bucket of salt fish In ono hand and ] a sack of flour on his shoulder. While I he took the fi“h down to the cellar for her, another figure appeared in | the doorway; a young boy, short, 'stooped, with a flat cap on his head 1 and a great otl< loth valise, such as peddlers carry, strapped to It s back. He bad fallen asleep in th' wagon and oil waking and finding his broth er gone, he had supposed they were at home and scrambled for bis pack. He stood In the doorway blinking bis eyes at the light, looking astonished but eager to do whatever was re quired ef him. Whnt if one of her own boys. Mrs. Wheeler thought. Kho went tt'ii to him and put her arm around him, laughing a little and say ing in her quiet volet-, just as if lie could- understand her. "Why, you’re only a little boy after all. uren't you?" Ernest said afterwards that it was his first welcome to this country, though he hart traveled so far, and had been pushed and hauled and shouted at for so many days, lie had lost count of them. That night he and Claude only shook hands and looked at each other suspiciously, but ever since they had laen good ft lends. (Tn Ik Continued Monday Morning.) Two Fined for Disturbance.
