CHAPTER V Continued
We passed the quiet little hamlet of
roolvertfot the only living creatures
ale being some white geese on the green
and shortly thereafter we stopped our
noble vessel for a second or two and
fcot out for a stroll along the towpath
And a very pleasant stroll it was the
air was soft and sweet the sunlight was
lore general now and lay warmly on
le hawthorn hedges and the grassy
tanks Of course Miss Peggy was busy
nth her study of English wild flowers
wd the young man who seemed rather
lad to be her attendant did what he
nid to assist her and as she got to
gether wild hyacinths and primroses and
Bpeedwelis and and Rosa-
inds daisies nied and violets blue she
jeornetimes hummed or whistleda bit of
jthe Green Bushes tune that had ap
parently got into her head
I shant forget to write out that song
for you said her companion as if the
issurance were needed
tIT T 1 j t
i j uiiuk jl unow me any sue answer- -
d if you will kindly give me the
1 Words
It turned out a clear and golden after
noon and the westering light lay softly
bn the foliage of the willows and elms
ton the wide and silent meadows where
jthe cattle were and on the banks nearer
fcs that wore yellow with buttercups And
the night that followed was one of the J
most perfect moonlight nights I had ever
seen
On a night like this said our young
jft merican friend isnt it a pity we
havent some beautiful music The tink
ling of a banjo spoils everything
Peggy said Queen Tita putting her
band on the girls- arm for a moment
sing My Old Kentucky Home
1 Thereupon Miss Peggy who is the soul
of good nature when there is no mischiev
ous project in her head took up her
banjo which lay in her lap and began to
sing and very well did her rich contralto
froice sound in the stillness of these slum
bering woods and fields One could not
belp wondering what some belated rustic
frvould have thought of it all if he had
chanced upon us on his way home the
black trees and the gray canal showing
po sign of life that spectral white thing
knoored in there among the willows with
jits motionless points of red fire the si
lence all around absolute but for the
atrange singingSf a womans voice
CHAPTER YI
It was hard that such a perfect night
phould be succeeded by a wild and blus
tering morning the rain was rattling on
our house roof there was a wail of wind
through the swaying and dripping bushes
land trees In the midst of all this tur
jmoil Captain Columbus suddenly makes
bis appearance and with serious aspect
Informs us that we cannot go any further
et present The authorities it appears
lock the canal gates every second Sun
day Queen Tita of course is far from
being disappointed She highly approves
pt stopping the traffic every second Sun
day and doubtless would have the regu
lation extended to every Sunday if she
had the power
We had three visitors that evening
Two of them whom we found on the
bank when we returned to the boat were
Df rustic mold and in stolid silence and
With calm immovable gaze they contem
plated the strange object that had invad
ed these solitudes
They made no re
mark their eyes wandered not they
merely stood there and stared and stared
as fished the famous fisher of Sunburie
ffhey stared at the boat at the windows
the gunwale the ller the roof the an
chor at the bow And never a word they
spoke We left them staring
Our third visitor to Jack Duncombes
obvious discomfiture was no other than
Mr Algernon ABecket who arrived
lome little time before dinner in high glee
ver his success in discovering our where
abouts Indeed he was quite hilarious
notwithstanding that his trousers looked
rather damp and he was just a
little bit hungry Murdoch was
bidden to make speed while the
women folk began to light the
lamps and candles in order to brighten
up the saloon Jack Duncombe of course
would take no part in the entertainment
of this new guest but Mr ABecket
Beemed capable of making himself at
home without much trouble and Mrs
DClireeponny bit and her young American
mend as they were laying the cloth and
otherwise getting matters made easy for
Jilurdoch were very courteous and com
placent toward him
And how are you to get back Mr
iABeoketV his hostess said to him not
unnaturally I wish we could offer you
a berth
Not at all not at all he answered
with abundant cheerfulness I know
precisely where I am now
I am sure its more than we do she
observed rather ruefully
And you know I was anxious to see
how you looked en voyage he contin
ued with a well satisfied glance all
round and really nothing could be more
snug and delightful How strange it
must be to feel yourselves so entirely iso
lated a small party all by yourselves
end wandering away into these out-of-
the world places really it makes one a
little envious
Jack Dunrombe glared was the man
Actually begging for an invitation And
et diuner too Mr ABecket seemed
juh content so long as he could address
himself to the two women Jack
rarely interfering except when
here was a chance of his posing as Miss
Peggys natural ally and champion In
Tdeed the younger man strove to appear
In that light whenever occasioa offered
Hud seemed ready o sacrifice the most
puvreil institutions of his native land for
Xhe mere sake of taking her part For
example our Oxford friend was talking
about the irreverence for antiquity com
monly attributed to the American people
rd aid h had inc heard an American
rv
rv
JJY WILLIAM jLAGKli
declare that Squattersville Nebraska
was of more value to the world than
Westminster Abbey because Squatters
ville was full of living men whereas
Westminster Abbey was full of dead
ones Whereupon Miss Peggy said sen
sibly and modestly enough as we
thought
Well sometimes our people at home
say things like that but they dont be
lieve them They think it clever to startle
you that is all
That ought to have been enough But
it wasnt enough for Jack Duncombe
Oh dear no Something must be said
on behalf of Miss Peggys countrymen
Miss Peggy herself was not to be crushed
by the dread might and majesty of West
minster Abbey
After all said this reckless young
man if you walk through Westminster
Abbey and impartially look at the names
of the people they have put there youll
come to the conclusion that in former
days it was pretty easy to get in Look
at John Phillips Did you ever hear of
John Phillips
Our learned friend from Orford being
thus directly challenged had to confess
his ignorance of the enshrined John Phil
lips
Well he was a writer of comic verses
at least I believe they are considered to
be comic the younger manycontinued
with superfluous scorn I know this I
could get you twenty living writers who
could do infinitely better verses indeed
if John Phillips were alive now there is
one place where you would not find him
and that is at the Punch weekly dinner
Mr ABecket turned to Miss Peggy
and said to her with a smile
Your countryman whom I heard make
that remark is said to be worth thirty
million dollars
He isnt worth
consideration she an
swered with a kind of audacious petu
lance and there the subject dropped
You should have heard how that vonn
man broke forth when our guest had to
leave us to find his way across country to
some railway station that he named You
would have thought that this harmless
freak on the part of an Oxford Don in
stead of being in its way a kind of com
pliment was really a gross invasion of
ones inalienable rights If we wished to
be by ourselves why should we not be
allowed to be by ourselves Mr Jack
Duncombe made much use of that word
ourselves He seemed to like it some
how
I piopose said he in his reckless
fashion that we should give up our leis
ure time on this trip to the composition
of a great and learned work just to show
what we can do Will you join Miss
Rosslyn
Oh yes says the young ladv with
calm effrontery What is it to be
about s
Oh anything will serve to show off
wjth We must make it imposing The
square of the hypothenuse if you like
That would be very interestinir shn
observesfi with muc hcomplacency Of
course you will begin with a description
of the square I mean the square in
which the Hypothenuse lives
Certainly he answers catching on
with alacrity Then we come to the
habits of the Hypothenuse his time of
getting up and going into the city
I would have
something more roman
tic than that Miss Peggy says thought
fully If he lives in a square there
must be people opposite One of them
might bo a young lady
Yes undoubtedly but she is rather an
unknown quantity yet we will call her
X until we can settle more about her
She is living with her Uncle Rhomboid
And the Hypothenuse has the greatest
difficulty in meeting with her she con
tin ues
The gardens in the square would be
a good place I suppose the Hypothenuse
would have a key
Naturally But then again Aunt Par
allelogram distinctly approves of the
match and is going to leave all her
money to X Would you make the Hy
pothenuse rich or poor
So these two young idiots went on one
of them apparently taking a grim delight
in thus revenging himself for the intru
sion of a stranger among ourselves
There was no other thought for the hap
less Scholiast making his way along
darkened roads to wait for the last train
in some solitary little railway station
Here the lights were burning clear and
they were now safe from all interfer
ence with aimless merriment and ban
died words and laughing glances to fill
full every glad and precious minute
CHAPTER VII
On this still morning while as yet the
unknown world around us seemed but
half awake there is a tall young lady
of slim and elegant figure Gtanding all
alone in the stern of the boat It is the
Person without a Character She hi
perched herself on the steersmans plank
her arms are placed on the transverse
iron rod her chin rests contemplatively
on her crossed palms And Avho can tell
what dreams and reveries may not be in
the calm deeps of her eyes which can
be thoughtful and wistful enough Avhen
they are not full of malice Apparently
she is looking away across the undulat
ing landscape with its A aried features of
wood and meadoAA of hedge row and up
land slope er erging from the pale mists
of the dawn but there may be quite
other visions before her Perhaps she is
thinking of the olden days of romance
and heroic adventure when noble earls
came soundmg through the town per
haps -she is only thinking of Ncav York
and of some facetious and correctlj
dressed young man there When one
civilly bids her good morning she turns
round with a startled look clearly her
thoughts have been far away
Well she says the more I see of
England the more I am surprised to
think how such a Avonderful lot of things
should have dappened jn so small a place
And not only small but but empty
The country seems dead Theres nobody
in it Last night I was reading about
Wanvick and Kcnilworth just by way
of preparation you know for I suppose
avo shall get there this evening Well
where did all those great lords fine the
people to build splendid castles for them
Where did they get such sums of money
Where did all the armies come from that
were in the Wars of the Roses
Now the spectacle of a young mind in
eager quest of knowledge is as has been
observed before a pleasing sight but it
has to be pointed out to Miss Peggy that
the study of English history ought to re
main prohibited during the remainder of
this trip to avoid misconception and for
the better silencing of scandalous
tongues
Ah now she says plaintively isnt
it hard that we should be subjected to
such cruel taunts and suspicions- And
so unjustly too that is the shameful
part of it if there was the smallest atom
of foundation for the things they say
of us I shouldnt mind I do really be
lieve she continues with an air of sol
emn conviction that you and I are the
two most absolutely perfect characters
the world has ever known I have never
met with any one just quite so good as
we are And of course trat is the ex
planation Perfect psople are never pro
perly comprehended The only comfort
is adds Miss Peggy complacently
that you and I understand and appre
ciate each other and they are welcome
to say all those things about us as often
as they please
This was all very well and indeed it
was satisfactory to think that one had
Avon the commendation of a being so con
fident of her own moral worth But
there was this to be considered about
P y that you could never be very sure
of her Indeed when she was most amia
ble she was most to be distrusted when
she held out both hands to you in the
frankest fashion you had to beware lest
they should turn out to be the two knobs
of an electrical machine
The next instant with immovable face
and inscrutable eyes she remarks in a
casual kind of way
Mr ABecket is coming to Warwick
What
Yes he is
Well you are I declare yon are
I she says with a blank stare of
innocence What have I to do with it
Then how did he tell you and no one
else of his coming
Oh as for that she says in a care
less fashion he only mentioned it in go
ing away as a kind of possibility If he
had spoken of it to you it might have
looked like asking for an invitation And
perhaps he maynt come after all Im
sure if I were he I wouldnt take the
trouble
Probably not
Just at this moment we were unexpect
edly interrupted There was a barge
coming along drawn by two donkeys
each with a nose tin slung at its head
and along Avith them was a tall young
bargeman as handsome as Apollo but
with a sun tan ton his face and a mild
fire in his eyes unknown to the marble
figures in the Uflizi corridors After a
preliminary and rather diffident glance at
the young lady he made bold to ask ur
whether we were going on that day
Yes certainly was the ansAver
Then youll have to make haste said
the sun browned Apollo for theyre go
ing to repair Clayton Lock and unless
you get on at once you wont get through
until to morrow
Now this was most unwelcome news
for though it was well enough once in
aAAhile to spend a whole twenty four
hours by the side of a meadow with
speedwells dandelions pollard willows
SAVUts water rats anu an occasional
sheep as our only companions still Ave
felt that we had not been making suffi
cient progress and we had certainly cal
culated on reaching Warwick that night
So there was nothing for it but to sum
mon Murdoch fortlnvith and bid him
leave breakfast alone and go scour the
neighboring country in search of Captain
Columbus and the Horse Marine
Well Ave got through Clayton Lock
easily enough and thereafter entered
upon a long stretch of eleven miles with
out any lock at all This was by far
the most lonely district into Avhich we
had as yet penetrated and as the canal
is here on a nigh level Ave had a suffi
ciently spacious A iew of the richly culti
vated but apparently uninhabited coun
try Far as the eye could reach there
Avas nothing visible but fields hedge roAvs
and upland heights with here and there
a clump of trees or perhaps a solitary
barn a bit of red showing pleasantly
enough among the prevailing greens The
day Avas brightening up too SAveet mild
airs were bloAving there was even now
and again a ray of watery sunlight strik
ing on some distant slope We began to
Avonder AAhethor we had at last escaped
from the rain that had pursued us soin
cessantly for of course we did not Avant
our pretty Miss Peggy to go away back
to America with the impression that Eng
land was a land of perpetual mists
To be continued
How liipton Started
The Home Magazine tells this story
of Sir Thomas Liptons start in busi
ness
Young Lipton went to London AAith
a borrowed capital of about 500 He
rented a small shop spent one half of
this sum in purchasing a stock of tea
getting it cheap for cash and the other
half he put in a separate box to be
used entirely and exclusively for ad
Aertising
That Aas the time when
aay advertising houses AA ere an
proposition so that it was not
surprising that Liptons friend shook
their heads at his scheme But the
scheme worked to perfection
Marking his goods at the very lowest
figures which were lower than flfose
of other tea merchants for it AAras not
customary at that time for merchants
to pay cash for their stock Lipton got
ready for his advertising He bougM
two of the fattest hogs that could De
found anywhere iu London had them
carefully scraped and cleaned tied
pink ribbons around their necks and
sent them waddling through th
croAvded streets each led by a man
tressed in pink and having between
tliem another man carrying a banner
upon AAhkdi were inscribed the words
We are going to Liptons pink tea
Come along yourself
Of course the shop was crowded
within an hour The Ioav prices caught
the peoples fancy too and business
became so brisk that instead of serv
ing behind the counter as he had orig
inally intended for about a year Lip
ton was compelled to employ a dozen
clerks to do that work while he at
tended exclusively to the getting out
ot new advertising dodges

As the result of British unsuccess in
