THE TRAMP.
HE lint time I saw
him peering at me
from the shrubbery
I waa frightened
apd ran away, but
It was not because
there waa anything
fierce or awesome
a bo lit his bearded
face. I waa nat
urally a timid boy,
but I was startled
to see a stranger on the grounds
about our home, for at each gate
father had posted a sign marked
‘’Private,” and we lived there at Edge
water by the sea with an exclusiveness
that had made me shy of all strangers.
When I told father what I had seen
he frowned, declaring that It must be
some tramp who had ventured inside
the grounds, and I know he instructed
the gardener to look out for the man.
For a day or two I was continually on
the watch for the unknown, and then,
seeing nothing more of him, my fear
wore off.
Among my father’s boats was a flat
bottomed punt that lay on the shore at
high-water mark. I had often been
cautioned about playing around the wa
ter, but one day I ventured to launch
the punt and paddle about sear the
shore. .
; ' I know aot bow the peddle slipped
from my bead*, but It did ao, ead la
reaching for It I plunged headlong Into
the water. I could not awlm, and I cer
tainly was in danger of drowning, but,
almoet before I realised my peril, i felt
strong hands grasp me, and I was
brought sififtly sad safely to the shore.
When I rubbed the water from my
•yes I found that I had been saved by
the very man I had aeen peering from
the shrubbery. -He was laughing down
at me, and his face, for all of the beard,
rough and untrimmed, was a pleasant
one. ’
t “So you thought you would take a
swim, eh, my boy?" he aald: and his
voice was quite as pleasant as his face.
'■ Still I was scared, and I burst into
' tears, when, to my further amasement,
he sought to console and hush me in a
, manner that was full of gentleness.
: Almost before I realised it he had his
dripping arm about my dripping body,
and he was talking to me in a way that
soothed my fears and quieted my
I dM not run from him, as I bad done
the first time, tor I came to think that
this gentle man who had saved me from
the water, rough and poorly clothed
though he Was, could] not mean me
; harm. The sun was warm, and I sat
then on the roeks with him, while he
; asked me a hundred questions about
;■ myself and my home.
Before we parted he made me promise
' that I would not tell my father who
had rescued me from the water—made
me promise that I would aot say that
any one had rescued me. That, he
said, was his prlee tor saving my life.
He said he had no home, and he was
staying nearabouts tor a time; but it
I told he was there, my father would
have him driven away.
Bessember, 1 was no more than a
child, and knew very little of the world,
so it is not so strange that I gave my
promise to this man with the kindly
fboe and musical voice. I had never
told my tether a lie in all my life, and
I wondered how I was going to avoid it
in thla case.
v I did not give my tether much time to
- question me, but I told my story with
a rush of words, contused and inarticu
late; but, with a skill that surprised
myself, I led him'to believe that I had
* scrambled to the shore unaided, and
S;'-‘ yet I did not say as much in so many
r words. It was a deception, and my
heart was heavy, tor I felt that it was
nearly. If not quite, as bad as a lie.
'Bub I had kept my promise to the
stranger who had saved my life,
< /. After that I saw him often, and we
v came to have a regular time of meeting
each day. He had traveled the world
over, and he delighted to sit In the
... A*
fiXtTLINQMADLT ON THB GRASS,
shelter of the shrubbery and tell me
tales ot Ua adventures la manjr lands,
1 while I listened breathlessly to his fas
cinating stories. At that time I did not
' think how strange a man he was, al
though I did sometimes wonder why he
lingered there, even though he was a

tramp with no home.
Many times I asked him who he was,
bat he would smile and shake hla head,
saying that I might call him Jim, and
that was the only name he gave me.
He said that he had once been hon
ored and respected, had a good home
and family, but one talas step had
brought him to ShasM and a prison cell,
and that when he had served his time
he went tar away, reeolVlng never
to shame his family by his pres
Hs had hspt his vow all through
the ataay years, hut . his one misstep
had killed the ambition,within him,
and he never rose In Ufa.
I pltled him; between us there grew
Tonng
’ » strong bond ot sympathy.
;,^:~'QnighJ I was, I saw In-this
that might have beea noble and hon
vj ^v f ;v:
ored but for that false step, and nay
heart was full of sincerest'charity.
Several times I urged him to let me
tell my father of his plight, for I was
sure that wheo father knew the whole
truth and understood that Jim had
saved my Hfe, he would give the man
work and a chance to make an honor
able place for himself in the world.
But all I said had little, if any, effect
on the man; he would not consent to
anything of the sort
And then It came about that one day
my father chanced upon us as we were
talking together. 1 may never forget
the look of astonishment, dismay and
anger that rested on hia stern face as
be saw us sitting side by side in the
shelter of the shrubs that hung over
the shore rocks, both munching cookies,
for I had been bringing lunches to Jim
for a long time.
My father was furious; he seemed,
tempted to spring upon my strange
companion. Jim said not a word in de
fense of himself, but pulled his hat low
over his eyes and skulked away like a
nrklnnail dox
Father demanded to know about the
man, and bis questioning made me tell
many things that I did not want to tell.
These things did not tend to soften my
father’s temper in the least.
It was the very next day that my fa
ther bought a big yellow dog—a flerce
looklng creature with reddish eyes and
gleaming teeth. He declared he would
soon teach tramps that they could not
linger about his grounds. j
From the first I was afraid of the dog,
for the animal growled and licked its
chops whenever I was near, looking at
me as If It longed to fly at my throat.
Indeed, the creature was so fierce that
It was neeessary that It should be
chained for a time till it came to know
who was Its master.
For some days I was kept close to the
house, and !• know I was watched a
great deal; but I saw nothing of Jim,
and a lonely feeling came over me, for
I felt that I might never see him again,
and a strange attachment for the tramp
had grown within my breast
On the fourth day after the purchase
of the dog my father became worried
about the creature, for it lay growling
and whining at the end of Its chain,
its eyes glowing like coals, while a
fringe of froth clung around Its muz
■le.
“The beast Is sick,” my father de
clared. “I don’t like his actions. He
may be going mad.’’
I had heard of mad dogs, and when I
went to look at the animal and It
strained at its chain, with its red eyes
fixed on my face, while sharp yelps
broke from its three*, I ran away, filled
with terror.
It must be that my shew of fear added
to the fierceness of the animal, for, of
a sudden, I heard a deep-throated howl
behind me, and one look over my shoul
der showed me the dog In hot pursuit,
a bit of the broken chain dangling from
Its iron collar.
The terror of that moment nearly
overcame me, but I managed to keep
to my feet, running forward blindly,
and shrieking at the top of my voice.
A horrid choking came inter my throat,
and I staggered as I ran, expecting at
any moment to feel the poisonous teeth
of the mad dog tearing at my quivering
flesh.
I heard the dog close behind me*-I
seemed to feel Its fetid breath on the
back of my neck—I stumbled and fell!
Just as I went down I saw a man
leap out of the bushes and go past me
to meet my canine pursuer. It was but
a glimpse, but that glimpse was enough,
for In the man I recognised Jim the
tramp. In his hand something bright
flashed.
Scrambling to a sitting posture I saw
man and dog meet in mortal combat
The mad animal leaped straight at
Jim’s throat, but the man's arm pro
tected that point and the gleaming
teeth dosed on that Then began such
a terrible struggle as I hope never
again to witness.
The tramp struck the dog with the
knife In his hand, and blood flowed
upon the grass. But the creature was
not to be beaten off, and it again leaped
at Jim’s throat. The sharp yelping of
the dog mingled with the hoarse breath
of the man, and I heard the crunching
of the beast’s teeth tearing through
flash to the bone.
Again and again the animal leaped.
The man grew weaker, and both man
and dog were bespattered with blood.
At last the persistent beast overthrew
my heroic defender, and I saw them bat
tling madly on the grass, the dripping
knife being plunged again pnd again to
the hilt. Then I covered my eyes with
my hands and saw no more till I felt
myself caught up In my father’s strong
Father had seen it all. He was white
and shaking as he paused to look at
both man and beast, now stretched
silent and motionless on the blood*
stained grass.
"Dead*—both dead!” he muttered
hoarsely. “Why should he do this to
save my boy? It Is the tramp—the
tramp whom I drove from the grounds!”
Then he bent still nearer to look
straight Into that bearded, blood-stained
face. One moment he stared, and then
he reeled backward, dropping me like
an Inanimate thing, and clasping his
hand* to his head as he shrieked:
“Merciful Heaven! it Is James—my
brother James!”

"Miss Laborre,” said Mr. Askam, aft
er they had confidentially discussed a
number of topics, "my object in call
ing upon you this evening Is to consult
you about a step I hope soon to take In
my life. It is a step upward, and I
regard it as the most momentous one I
ever contemplated. -In short, my dear
Miss Laborre, I trust soon to be—to
be married," says the Kansas City
World.
"Indeed, Mr. Askam!” Miss Laborre
said, assuming an Indifferent air, hut
blushing slightly, "and upon what do
you wish to consult me?”
“Upon several subjects, my dear Miss
Laborre,” answered Mr. Askam, rising
from his chair and seating himself be
side her on the sofa. “First, I should
like to know whether you consider It
is possible for two people to live com
fortably on (3,600 a year.”
“Oh, yes. Indeed, Mr. Askam,” Miss
Laborre replied, quickly. "If two peo
ple love each other that Is more than
nnAmvh »
"I am indeed delighted to hear you
eay so," said Mr. Askant fervently.
Secondly, do you think that you—that
your mother and you, after living here
together so long, could bear to be sep
arated?"
"It wouldn’t be as though we really
were separated, living in the same city,
you know, Mr. Askam,” returned Miss
Laborre, thoughtfully, "Yes, I.am sure
neither of ub would mind it so very
much.”
“That’s a brave young lady," cordial
ly responded Mr. Askam, patting the
back of her hand affectionately, as it
lay in her lap, "that’s a brave girl.
And, thirdly, do you think a man of 47,
my age, Miss Laborre, too old to get
married—especially if there is little, if
any, discrepancy in the ages?"
“Oh, oh, you insulting thing!"
screamed Miss Laborre, springing to
her feet. “You know I am not 23.”
“Certainly, my dear,” responded the
astonished Mr. Askani, mildly, “cer
tainly, but your mother must be nearly
as old as I am.”
"You have been speaking of my
mother?” demanded Miss Laborre,
tragically,
“Of course,” said Mr. Askam, looking
bewildered, "I thought it only fair, as
you are the bread winner, to consult
you first Why, who do. you think I
meant?”
HE HAD TO BE CAREFUL.

“No. But I’m not looklhg on the

same.” . y
“Reformed, have you?”
"Yep. You’ve heard of a woman’s
marrying a man with the Idea of getting
him to stop drinking. It doesn’t always
work; but it did in my case. My.wife
is a stupendously clever woman.”
“Made you promise; did she?”
“She didn’t have to. When I started
down town to-night she said: Tve lost
the latch-key, dear, but it won’t make
any difference. You ring the bell and
I’ll let you in.’ I said, ‘AH right.’
’Only,’ she said, *we’d better agree on
some password, so that when you ring
I can look out of the window and make
sure it isn’t a burglar.’ ’Of course,’ said
I; ‘what’ll the password be?* ‘I have
it,’ she answered; ’it mustn’t be too
simple. You Just say “irrepressible
reprehenslbllity” and then I'll come
down and let you in.’ Oentlemen, if I
can’t say Irrepressible reprehenslbllity
when I get home I don’t get in, and,
moreover. I assume the chances of be
ing taken for a housebreaker. I’ve

He found the coonB drunk and under

open to allow the cider to work. They
had then drank themselves full of hard

“It la much harder to examine and
judge than to take ap opinions on trust;
and therefore the far greatest part of
the world borrow from others those
which they entertain concerning all the
affairs of life and death. Hence It pro
ceeds that men are so unanimously
eager In the pursuit of things, which,
far from having any Inherent real good,
are varnished o’er with a specious and
doceitfal gloss, and cantata nothing
answerable to their appearance. Hence
It proceeds on the other hand, that, In
those things which are called evils,
there is nothing so hard and terrible as
the general cry of the world threatens.
Thus, the multitude has ordained. But
the greatest part of their ordinances are
abrogated by the wise.”—Bollngbroke.
