CHAPTER TWO Continued
Prince growled John looked up the
road
Theres someone coming he said
Jessie turned and saw Miss Maiden
approaching She looked at her mud
dy feet her bedraggled hat and her
splattered blouse and skirt
Ill get an awful scolding she
said half to herself and half to the
boy Then for the first time she
scrutinized John Burt She noted
that he was well dressed that he
was not barefooted like most farmer
boys and that he was handsome and
self possessed
Do you belong to the riffraff
asked Jessie lowering her voice so
that the approaching governess
should not hear her
Never heard of it replied John
Burt in a puzzled smile What
is it
I dont know said Jessie but
my papa dont allow me to associate
with the riffraff and I forgot until
just now to ask you if you are a riff
raff
A look of pain came to the honest
face of the boy Before he could
speak Jessie turned to meet Miss
Maiden
Why Jessie Carden what have
you been doing With a cry of dis
may the governess dropped an arm
ful of flowers and surveyed the wreck
of the sailor suit
Jessie looked penitent indeed as
she gazed at the muddy shoes and the
torn stocking but contrition is a fee
ble flame in the heart of a child
Never mind the old clothes
Govie she said Watch me catch
a crab I can do it just splendid
Jessie lay that pole down and
come away with me said Miss Mai
den sternly How dare you play
with a strange boy What would
your father say Come with me at
He led to the altar the daughter nf a
ocr farmer and of this prosaic union
seven children were born
After fifteen years of work and sor
row the patient wife folded her tired
hands closed her weary eyes and
sank into that sleep which awakens
not to toil If Peter Burt loved his
second wife he never told her so If
he loved her children his expression
of affection took a peculiar form He
made no secret of his favoritism Tor
Robert Burns Eurt the only child of
his first wife
Robert was a boy of whom any
father would be proud At twelve he
was sent to school in Hingham At
nineteen he entered Harvard gradu
ating in four years with honors Af
ter two more years devoted to a law
course he began practice in Boston
and his success was instantaneous
For ten years after the death of his
wife Peter Burt conducted the farm
of his forefathers One after another
of his sons and daughters as they
became of age left the old home
never to return One night after sup
per Peter Burt informed the remain
ing children that he was going to sea
He had bought an interest in a whal
ing vessel and would sail from New
Bedford in a week To Sarah the
eldest of the children he gave three
hundred dollars together with in
structions concerning the manage
ment of the farm He did not know
how long he would be gone it might
be a year or it might be five With
some tenderness he kissed the weep
ing orphans and tramped down the
road in the direction of Hingham
Five years later the Segregansett
dropped anchor at New Bedford None
of the crew that went on with her re
turned Peter Burt sold the cargo
paid off his men disposed of his in
terest in the ship and on the follow
ing day walked into the Burt farm
house He was greeted affectionate
ly by his son Joseph who for a year
had lived alone in the old house A
week later the boy was sent to school
in Boston and Peter Burt began his
solitary occupancy of the ancestral
home
Shortly before Peter Burts return
Robert had married and the old man
was delighted when the young couple
made a visit to the old farm The
following year John Burt was born
and Peter Burt journeyed to Boston
to witness the christening
Two years later Robert Burns Burt
and his wife were instantly killed in
a railroad accident The train crashed
through a bridge It was winter and
bitterly cold Of the fifteen passen

once She gathered up the flowers
and took Jessie by the hand
Good bye Prince Good bye John
Burt Jessie waved her hand gaily
at her fishing companion as Miss Mai
den turned into the path leading
through the woods
He was real nice and youre aw
ful good Govie not to scold him
were the words that reached John
Burt ns he carried his basket of crabs
to the wagon
CHAPTER THREE
John Burts Boyhood
For two hundred years the Burt
house had withstood the blasts of
winter and the withering heat of sum
mer Time had worked upon the
rough exterior until it seemed like a
huge rectangular rock weather worn
and storm beaten The small plateau
jn which it stood sloped northward
io the sea Rugged rocks to the west
stooc a wall frowning at the quiet
beauties of salt marsh and cedar
swamp below To the south were
patches of meadow wrested from
wood and rock by generations of toil
Through this fairer section a brook
wandered between banks festooned
with watercress Old settlers knew
the locality by the name or Rocky
Woods
When Hezekiah Burt died Peter
Burt inherited the hold homestead in
Rocky Woods He was a young giant
with the shoulders of a Hercules At
the age of thirty he took to wife the
fairest maiden of the surrounding
country and to them a son was born
and christened Robert Burns Burt A
year later the mother sickened and
died The grief of Peter Burt was
terrible as his strength For a year
he remained a prisoner in his house
then returned to work and for two
years labored with the energy of a
demon His second marriage followed
V
Burt but one escaped A child two
years old was found warmly wrapped
in its traveling blanket uninjured on
a cake of ice a few minutes after the
car plunged beneath the water It
was John Burt
In the opinion of his neighbors
Peter Burt was crazy from the hour
the news came to him Strange
stories were whispered concerning
Captain Burt as he was then called
Belated travelers along the lonely
road saw lights burning through all
hours of the night They heard the
old man talking or praying in a loud
voice
Upon the death of Robert Peter
Burt went to Boston and buried his
dead With tearless eyes he saw the
pride of his old age lowered into the
grave Robert Burns Burt was a care
ful lawyer and his will covered every
contingency It appointed his father
executor of his small estate and in
trusted him with the care of his son
Peter Burt placed the boy in the keep
ing of a competent nurse and re
turned to his farm
Save for the occasional smoke from
the chimney there was no sign that
Peter Burt existed throughout the
three months that followed His son
Joseph called at the house but was
not admitted
At the end of this period the old
man emerged and was seen in Hing
ham For the first time in years he
spoke to his neighbors who noticed
that his hair was as driven snow
and that his face shone with a
strange light In the calm manner
of one controlled by an unalterable
conviction he stated that he had
made his peace with God and was in
spired by Him He had received the
gift of prophecy and of understand
ing
When John Burt was seven yeara
old his grandfather brought him to
the old farmhouse With the boy
cime his nurse and her husband
William Jasper the latter charged
with the duties of hired man Thus
John Burt began his life on the farm
When John had mastered his let
ters and primer he was sent to school
iu Hugham taking the regular course
for five years Then a private tutor
came from Boston Five days in the
week the boy studied under this
young mans direction and made rap
id progress With his stern old face
lighted with joy and pride Peter Burt
would listen to the recitations
CHAPTER FOUR
James Blake
John Burt was fourteen years oy
when he first met James Blake The
older Blake had purchased the old
Leonard farm and so had become tho
nearest neighbor of Peter Burt There
were several children in the Blake
family but this narrative has concern
only with James the eldest a boy of
John Burts age
Tho two farms were separated by a
creek which at a place called the
Willows widened to a pool famed as
a fishing and swimming place One
June morning John was seated on a
log spanning the narrow neck of this
reach of water He had landed a
bass when the cracking of twigs and
the swaying of the underbrush on the
farther side of the creek attracted his
attention
A moment later a boy emerged
from the thicket He surveyed John
with an expression more of contempt
than of surprise The new comer was
a tall well formed lad straight as an
arrow quick and graceful in his
movements He also carried a rod
which he rested against the log and
for a few seconds he calmly gazed at
Conn Burt
Hello
Hello answered John Burt
Fishin
No swimming replied John
rtThink youre smart dont ye re
sponded the strange boy as he baited
his hook Crazy Burts boy aint
ye No objection to my fishin have
you
There was a taunting sarcasm in
his voice and defiance in his air
Without waiting for reply he cast
his line into the water
You can fish as long as you please
on your own side of the creek said
John sullenly For hair an hour no
word was spoken John caught four
bass during that time while Jim
hooked only eel grass Then he cast
his line across the pool dropping it a
few feet from Johns line
John Burts face flushed angrily
Keep on your own side he com
manded
Ill fish where I darn please This
isnt your creek retorted Jim Blake
with a defiant grin If it is what
are you going to do about it
As he spoke John brought his hook
near the surface and by a sudden
twist snagged Jim Blakes line
With a jerk he whipped the rod from
his opponents hand Young Blake
was furious John calmly towed the
rod across the pool unsnarled the
lines and threw the rod on the bank
Obeying a boys first instinct Jim
looked for a stone but found none
Then he jumped for the log Drop
ping his rod John Burt also sprang
forward and they met in the center
of the bridge

Spool Building
There is nothing more interesting
for an ingenious boy or girl Given a
lot of spools and a ball of Ilorists wire
so much can be done that it is impos
sible to give a detailed description To
collect spools is a much easier job
than the old fashioned practice of col
lecting buttons Old buttons are
sometimes valuable in piecing out a
set but empty spools are usually
thrown away A person of enterprise
can always collect them and the
smallest and most insignificant is not
to be despised A coming architect
can plan a house and the builder of
a suspension bridge can string his
spools securely on wire and produce a
complete and steady structure Strong
little taborets may be made of them
if there is solid wood for the table
part the spools ma be used for the
legs and supports A trash basket
may be made of them strung one on
top of the other with a wooden bot
tom and lined with gay cretonne The
smaller spools make pretty picture
frames especially if painted white or
green They may be used in a hun
dred ornamental ways they may be
collected from a dozen different
sources and they are sure to provide
amusement for innumerable rainy
days
A Luxurious Bed
An Indian potentate recently order
ed from Paris a bed which will rival
the rajahs bed in the Arabian Nights
It is of sat in wood richly carved and
ornamented with silver plates iu re

At each corner stands a statue of a
girl one French one Greek one Span
ish and one Italian Each is tinted ac
cording to the complexion of her race
and wears a suitable hued wig either
black blond chestnut or auburn
These maidens have movable eyes
and their only ornament is a gold
bracelet round one arm which waves
over the sleeper s head either a fan
or a yaks tail fly flapper The fur

ingenious arrangement in the mat

Steepest of Mountains
Mount- McKinley is known to be
the steepest of all the great moun
tains of the world and it is unlike
most other great peaks from the fact
that arctic conditions begin at its
very base The prospective corquer

his path over broken stones icy
slopes sharp cliffs and an average
slcpe of 45 degrees for at least 14

Dogs That Smoke Pipes
These two dogs Dewey and Ruth
are the pets of a Minneapolis man
Their skill at balancing pipes between
their teeth is but one of the many
clever tricks they have learned In
justice it should be said that the pipes
are never lighted but the dogs enjoy
them all the same and anybody who
tries to interfere with the after dinner
smoke must watch for a fight

Tasteful Toilet Accessory
Tasteful little toilet accessories that
are decorative as well as useful can
be made of pretty napkin rings in
China or Japanese bronze or those
ornamental wooden kind often offered
for little more than the traditional
song The inside of the ring is fitted
with smooth strip of cardboard and
well filled with curled hair and ther
made into pincushion rounded at
the top after which it is covered with
some bit of pretty silk cr satin The
pntire cushion is slipped within the

tical inasmuch as it stands firmly
upon the dressing table and hoi is the
various pins required in making a
toilet
The cover for a China napkin may
be of white satin the top decoration a
piders web in gilt thread The Jap
anese bronze ring looks exceedingly
roll when covered with a small figure

fills an ample need in satin or silk
of the prevailing scheme of the room
For the Dinner Table
Among dining table ornamentations
the brown art linen of fine quality has
been converted into an additionaldeco
ration for the center This artistic
round is or more than ordinary size
is either scalloped fringed or left
plain with a hemstitch as preferred
The embroidery is one of gay color
ings either in an Oriental design or
a rich pointed pattern in which the
blended many pastel shades They
can make it of whatever tint of linen
desired from a delicate tan to a dark
brown the needlework making the
feature either in flower effect a con
ventional plan or bunches of blos
soms and field grasses These cen
ter pieces look well on a bare table or
with a cloth of solid color besides
being an adornment for the table
lamp
To Clean Velvet
Stains may frequently be removed
by scraping pipeclay over tho marks
in the velvet and then brushing the
powder off lightly with a stiff brush
This will restore the bloom and raise
the pile ha well Also to raise the
pile when much crushed make an
iron hot cover it with a damp cloth
and hold the velvet lining side over
it The operation cannot be under
taken alone for while the velvet is
being drawn over the hot iron the
pile should be whisked with a soft
brush As it is the damp heat which
benefits the pile holding it lininK
side over a basin of boiling steaming
water is also effective
Popular Picture Hat
A large white chip picture hat with
a flare front brim is decorated with
a wreath ot small half open rosebud
in white and pale pink Rose foliage
in which the leaves are scarcely larg
er than maidenhair torn trims the un
der brim Palo bluo ribbon velvet is
arranged around the upper side ol
the brim and a large loop bow of the
same is on the under side at the left
back
Oddities in Short Coats
A good many little short coats oj
the bolero order have short basques
and despite its being rather an old
fashion some of them still pouch over
back and front Such trifles as these
are entirely matters where the indu
vidual figure should be considered
and no hard and fast rule can be laid
down Some women always look best
with a pouched bodice whereas it
shortens some types
Spotted Fabrics in Favor
A great many spotted fabrics are
used crepe de chine and chiffon beins
spotted with chenille These will be
a feature of the spring modes For
some time past we have seen white
crepe de chine spotted with black
now we have it in a variety of colors
Softer materials will take the place
of spotted taffetas
Pattern Gowns Will Be the Rage
Pattern gowns will be all the rage
this summer They are already shown
in the shops arrayed in boxes tied
daintily with ribbons and with cuffs
and collars to match Some also show
insertions and applique laces with a
fringe of white linen thread
Trimming for Velvet Gown
An exceedingly smart black velvet
gown is trimmed with white satin
revers collar and cuffs all braided
with fine round silver cord while a
wide band of the same adorns the
skirt some twelve inches from the
bottom
A Fad for Next Summer
It will be quite the fad this coming
summer to wear half length lace coats
over the street and house gewn in
order to obtain a graceful effect They
come in black and cream The latter
are often dyed to match the gown
High Cellars Again
Collars are again worn very high
and are boned at the back and sides
It is pleasing to see this neatness
about the neck after the floppiness
we have put up with for so long
