Thhse stars tliat shonei on up above so
quietly, they tind seen k thousand such
little existences, a thousand such little
existences flglit just s Uercely. flare
up just so brightly and go out. and
they, the old. old stars shone on for
ever. (
"So hot. so angry, poor little soul!"
they said. 1
The "Hern" slipped from his fingers.
He sat with his arms folded looking
UP- 1
"We." said the stars, "liave seen the
earth when It was youAg. We have
seen small things creep (out upon Its
surfacesmall things that prayed and
loved aud fried very loudly aud then
crept under It again. But We." said, the
stars, "are as old as the upl.nown."
He leaned bis chin agalfcst the palm
of his hand and looked uplat them. So
long lie sat there that brlilit stars set
and new ones rose, and yet he sat on.
, Then at last he stood up and began
to loosen the "rlem" from the gable.
What did It matter about the books?
The lust and the desire for them had
died out. If they pleased to keep them
from lilm. they might. What matter?
It was a very little thiug. Why hate
and struggle and tight? Let It be as it
would.
He twisted the "rlem" round his arm
and walked back along the ridge of the
bouse.
By tills time Bonaparte Blenkina had
finished his dream of Trana. and as he
turned himself round for a fresh doze
he heard the step's descending the lad
der. Ills first Impulse was to draw
the blnnket over his head and his legs
under him and to shout; but, recollect
ing that the door was locked and the
window carefully bolted, he allowed
bis head slowly to crop out among the
blankets and listened Intently. Who
soever It might be, there was uo danger
of their getting at him, so be clambered
out of bed and, going on tiptoe to the
door, applied his eye to the keyhole.
There was nothing to be seeu;so,
walking to the window, he brought hla
face as close to the glass as his nose
would allow. There was a figure just
discernible. The lad was not trying
to walk softly, and the heavy shuttling
of the well known "vel-schoens" could
be clearly heard through the closed
window as they crossed the stoues In
the yard. Bonaparte listened till they
had died away round the corner of the
wagon house, and, feeling that his bare
legs were getting cold, he jumped back
Into bed again.
"What do you keep up In your loft ?"
Inquired Bonaparte of the Boer woman
the next morning, pointing upward aud
elucidating bis meaning by the addi
tion of such Dutch words as he knew,
for the lean Hottentot was gone home.
."Dried skins," said the Boer woman,
"and empty bottles and boxes and
sacks and soap."
"You don't keep any of your pro
visions there sugar, now?" said Bona
parte, pointing to the sugar basin and
then up at t lie loft
1. Tant Sannle shook her head.
I "Only salt and dried peaches."
vDrled peaches, eh?" said Bonaparte.
"Shut the door, my dear chlUbwbut It
tiitht." he called out to Em. who stood
lnthe dining room. Then be leaned
ovAr the elbow of the sofa and brought
hlsyaee as close as possible to the Bier
woihan's and made signs of eating.
Then, he said something she did not
comprehend, then said. "Waldo. Waldo.
Waldu." pointed up to the loft, aud
made Igns of eating again.
Now np inkling or his meaning dawn
ed on tilie Boer woman's mind. To
make it Clearer he moved his legs after
the mauler or one going up a ladder,
appeared f to he opening a door, masti
cated vigorously, said. "Peaches,
peaches, fii'aches." and appeared to be
coming d(wn the ladder.
It was ttw evident to Tant' Sannle
that Wul.ll had bee'U iu ber loft and
eaten her pi-aches.
To exemplify his own share in the
proceedings I Bonaparte lay down on
the sofa ami shutting his eyes tightly,
said, "Night night, night." Then ho
sat aip wildly, appearing to be Intently
listening, mimicked with his rect the
coming down a lazier and looked at
Tant' Sannle. This clearly showed
how, roused iu the uight, he had dis
covered the theft.
"He must have beeu a great rool to
eat my peaches," said Tant' Sannio.
"They are full or miles as a sheepskin
and as hard as stones."
Bonaparte, rumbling In his pocket,
did not even bear her remark aud took
out from his coattail a little horsewhip,
nicely rolled up. Bonaparte winked at
the little rhinoceros horsewhip, at the
Boer woman and then at the door.
"Shall we call him-Waido, Waldo?"
be said.
Taut' Sannie nodded and gigglert.
There 'was something so exceedingly
humorous In the Iden that he was go
Ing to heat the boy. though for her own
part she did not see that the peaches
were worth it. When the Katllr inn Id
came with the waslitub, she was sent
to summon ' Waldo, and Bonaparte
doubled up the little whip and put it In
bis "jioeket. Theu he drew himself up
and prepared to net his important part
with becoming gravity. Soon Waldo
stood In the door and took off bis bat.
"Come in. come lu, my lad." said
Bonaparte, "and shut the door behind."
The loy came In and stood before
Vthein.
j "You need not be so afraid, child."
said Tant fr'nunlc. "I was a child my
self once. It's uo great barm If you
have taken n few."
Bonaparte perceived that her remark
was not In keeping with the uature of
the proceedings ntul of the little drama
be Intended lo act. Pjrslng out his
lips aud waving his band, he solemnly
addressed the ly.
"Waldo. It grieves me beyond expres
sion to have to summon you for so
painful a purpose, but It Is at the Im
perative call of duty, which I dare not
evade. I do not state that frank and
unreserved confession will obviate tbe
necessity of chastisement, which, ii
requisite." shell be fully administered:
but the nature of that chastisement
may be mitigated by free and humble
confession. Waldo, answer me as you
would your own father, in whose place
1 now stand to you. Have you or have
you uot. did you or did you not, eat of
the peaches In the loft?"
"Say you took them. boy. say yon
took them. Then he won't beat you
much." said the Dutchwoman good
naturedly, getting a little sorry for
him.
The boy raised his eyes slowly ajid
fixed them vacantly upon her. Then
suddenly bis face grew dark with
blood.
"So yoj haven't got anything to say
to us. my lad?" said Bonaparte, mo
mentarily forgetting his dignity aud
bending forward with a little snarl.
"But what I mean Is just this, my lad
when it takes a boy three-quarters of
an hour to till a salt pot and vvhen at 3
o'clock in the morulug he goes knock
ing about the doors of a loft It's nat
ural to suppose there's mischief In It.
It's certain there is mischief in it. and
where there's mischief in It must be
taken out." said ' Bonaparte, grinning
Into the boy's face. Theu, feeling that
he bad fallen from that high gravity
which was as spice to the pudding and
the flavor of the whole little tragedy,
he drew himself up. "Waldo," he said,
"coufess to me Instantly and without
reserve that you eat the peaches."
The boy's face was white now. His
eyes were on the ground, his hands
doggedly clasped before him.
"What? You do not intend to an
swer?" The boy looked up at them once from
under his bent eyebrows and then
looked down again.
"The creature looks as If all the
devils In hell were In It." cried Tant'
Sannle. "Say- you took them, boy.
Young things will be young things. I
was older than you when I used to
eat 'bultong' In my mother's Left and
get the little niggers whipped for it.
Say you took them."
But the boy said nothing.
"I think a little solitary confinement
might perhaps- be beneficial." said
Bonaparte. "It will enable you. Wal
do, to reflect on the enormity of the sin
you have committed against our Fa
ther In heaven, and you may also think
of the submission you owe to those
who are older and wiser than you are
and whose duty ft is to check and cor
rect you."
Saying this. Bonnparte stood up and
took down the key of thp fuel house,
which hung on a nail against the wall
"Walk on, my boy." said Bonaparte,
pointing to the door, and as he follow
ed him out be drew his mouth express
ively on one side aud made the lash
of tbe little horsewhip stick out of his
pocket and shake up aud down.
Tao't Sannie felt half sorry for the
lad, but she could not help laughing.
It was always so funny when one was
going to have a whipping, and It would
do him good. Anyhow be would for
get all about it when the places were
healed. Had not she been beaten many
times and been all the better for It?
Bonaparte took up a lighted candle
that bad been left burning on tbe
kitchen table and told tbe boy to walk
before him. They went to the fuel
house. It was a little stone erection
that jutted out from the side of tbe
wagon house. It was low and without
a window, and the dried dung was
piled in one corner, and the coffee mill
stood in another, fastened on the top
of a short post about three feet high.
Bonaparte took the padlock off the
rongh door.
"Walk in. my lad." he said.
f Waldo obeyed sullenly. One place to
him was much the same as another.
He had no objection to being locked
up.
Bonanarte followed him In and closed
Ithe door carefully. He put the light
uowu ou me neap or aung in ine corner
and quietly Introduced his hand under
his coat tails aud drew slowly from his
I'ocket the end of a rope, which he con
cealed behind him.
i "I'm very sorry, exceedingly sorry,
Vnldo, my lad, that you should have
aided In this manner. It grieves me,"
siiid Bonaparte.
I lie moved round toward the boy's
blick. He hardly liked the look In the
fiillow's eyes, though he stood there
mkitionless. If be should spring on
hib!

Ue j paused for a moment It was
perfec tly quiet. They could hear each
other'b breath. ,
''Cliasten thy son while there Is

thy sdul spare for bis crying. Those
are Gd's words. I shall act as a fa

better (have your naked back."
He t tok out his penknife and slit the

.The trst cut ran from the shoulder

A shudder passed through the boy's

lisp, as though to a very little child.

There is more catarrh ' in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, aud until the last few years
was1 supposed to be incurable. For a
great mauy years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and, there
fore, requires constitutional treatment

his work to wipe a little drop of blood
from his whip.
"Cold, eh? What makes you shiver
so? Perhaps you would like to pull up
your shirt? But I've not quite done
yet."
When he had finished, he wiped the
whip again and put It back in his
pocket. He cut the rope through with
bis penknife and then took up the
light. .
"You don't seem to have found your

said Bonaparte; patting him on the
cheek. ( '
