SYNOPSIS.
Mr. Solomon Pratt began comical nar
ration of story, introducing well-to-do
Nathan S udder of his town, and Edw ard
Van Brunt and Martin Hartley, two rich
New Yorkers seeking r^st. Because of
latter pair’s lavish expenditure of money,
Pratt’s first impression was connected
with lunatics. Van Brunt, it was learned,
war the- successful suitor for th** hand
of Miss Agnes Pag* . who gave Hartley
up. Adventure at Fourth of .July cele
bration at East we*!:. Hartley rescued a
boy. known as "Reddy.” from under a
hors' s feet ant. tie urchin proved to b«
one of Miss Page’s charges, whom she
had taken to the country for an outing,
i hit sailing later. Van Brunt. Pratt and
Hopper wer«* wrecked in a squall. Pratt
landed .safely and a search for the othc*r
two revealed an island upon which they
ever*- found. Van Brunt rented it from
Scudder and called ii Ozone island. In
barge of a company of X. w York poor
diildren Miss Taiford and Miss Page vis
ited Osont- island. In another storm Van
Brunt and Hartley narrowly escaped f>e
ing wrecked, having aboard chi kens,
pigs. etc., with which they were to start
i farm. Eur- ka Sparrow, a country girl,
was engaged as a conk and Van Brunt
and Hartley paid a visit to her father,
who for year had been claiming con
sumption as an excuse for not working.
T’pon another island visit by Miss Page.
Eureka diagnosed Hartley’s case as one
»f love for Agnes. At a lawn fete. Van
Brunt shocked the church community by
raffling a quilt for the church’s benefit
Hartley invented a plan to make Wash
ington Sparrow work.
CHAPTER XIV.—Continued
We walked on together the rest of
the way. laughing and talking. No
body took the business serious at all.
They all thought Washv would go to
work when he found 'twas either that
or get out and hustle for a place to
put his head in.
We marched into the Sparrow yard
like a Fourth of July parade. Hartley
knocked at the kitchen door. Editha
opened it.
“Is your father in?" asked the Twin.
“Yes. sir." says Editha. “He's in. I
F’pose you'd like to see him. wouldn't
you? Pa, here's Mr. Hartley.”
There was a groan from the dining
room. Then some coughs, like a string
of small earthquakes. Finally a dread
ful weak voice orders us to step right
in. The rest of the crowd went on
ahead. I stopped for a jiffy to speak
to Editha.
“Where's the rest of the children?"
I asks.
“I sent 'em over to the grocery
store on an errand.” she says. “I
thought you'd be along pretty soon.
They took the baby with 'em."
“How’s your dad been since he
heard the news?” says I.
“Oh, he was going on terrible last
night. Had nerve spells and fired tiie
chairs around and carried on so we
was ail scared. But he went out about
nine o'clock with a letter he’d wrote,
and this morning he seems better.
Say, Mr. Pratt,” she whispers, eager,
' is it true that rae and Dewey are go
ing to live with the minister's folks?"
“Maybe so,” says I. “Why?”
“Oh! I hope so,” she says. “Then
I could go to school, and pa wouldn’t
be ’round to jaw us. and Reky’d have
a little rest. She does need it so.”
Think of a 12-year-old young one
talking like that. But the children
was all grown-ups in that family.
I went info the dining room. The
delegation was gathered on one side
of the table, and Washy was crumpled
up in his rocker on the other. He
looked some scared.
“Well. Mr. Sparrow.” Hartley wr.s
beginning when I come in, “have you
made up your mind about the position
which this gentleman has been kind
enough to offer you?" He pointed to
Brown as he said it.
“Hey?" asks the invalid, feeble.
Martin said it all over again: he
had to stop in the middle so's to give
the candidate for the job a chance to
cough and turn loose a few groans.
And all that Washy said when the
Twin had finished was another "Hey?"
Hartley begun tc lose patience.
“You heard what I said." he snaps,
sharp. "Have you made up your
mind?”
“Don't get mad, Mr. Hartley,” pleads
the sufferer, sad and earnest. “Please
don't. My nerves is dreadful weak
this morring rtid I ain’t able to stand
it. I've had coughing spells ever since
I got out of bad. Well. I won't have
to linger here much longer. Pretty
socn I’ll be laid away, and—"
“Have you made up your mind?”
interrupts Martin. "Answer quick.
The time of these gentlemen is valu
able.”
“Don't. Mr. Hartley. Picase don’t.
How pn you cruelize a poor feller this
way? Don't you know that any kind
of stir and rumpus is the worst thing
for me? Any doctor'll tell you
that—”
“Bosh:'' 'Twas Dr. Penrose that
said it, and he stepped forward.
"Bosh!'’ says he again.
“What's that? Why. if it ain’t my
old friend the doctor! I never noticed
you was there. I'm awful glad tn see
you. Doc. Seems just like old times
You'll excuse my not getting up. w on’t
you? I’ve wasted away so since you
was here that—"
"Bosh! ” says the doctor again.
“You’re fatter than ever. There's
nothing in -he world the matter with
you hut pure downright dog laziness.
Don't cough on my account. 1 don’t
care to hear it."
Washy looked at him as reproachful
and goody-goody as a saint.
"I forgive you for them words, doc
tor." says he. “ 1 realize I ain't been
able to pay my bill to you, and so I
can make allowances.”
“Allowances! Why, you confounded
impudent loafer! I've a good mind
to—*1
He was purple in the face. Peter
Brown caught his arm.
“Ain't this a little off the subject?"
he says. "Look here. Sparrow. We
need a good husky man about your
size at the hotel. We’ll pay him ten
dollars a W'eek. I've offered you the
job. Are you going to take it?"
"There ain't nothing in the world I
should like better, Mr. Brown. I like
to work, and—"
“All right, ttfen. Get your hat and
come along.”
"Come along! Why, how you talk!
If I was to stir out of this house
't would—"
'Twas Scutider's turn. "You'll have
to stir mighty Quick," says he. “I
won't have no dc-nothing tramps in a
house of mine. Either take this chance
or out you go next Saturday, bag and
baggage."
“Why, Mr. Scndder! Why, Kate!
How can you talk so! Just for a little
matter of rent. Y’ou don’t need it.
Ain't you been telling me that you
had a couple of soft rich folks over to
Horsefoot Bar that was paying you a
good living and more, too, all by them
selves. Don't you remember you
said—"
“Shut up!” ’Twas Scudder who got
purple now. It looked to me like the
invalid was having all the fun. He
seemed to be expecting something a.nd
playing for time. 1 guess Hartley
thought so, too. for he says:
“That’s enough of this. It’s plain
that he doesn’t intend to accept. Mr.
Scudder. you have given him formal
notice. Come on."
Then Washy broke down. He
sniffed and half cried and wanted to
know things. The work would kill
him in a day or so, of course, but he
didn’t mind that. When he thought
of his poor fatherless children—
“The children will be provided for,”
says Martin. “I told you that. Mr.
Morton will care for Editha and the
baby.”
“Mr. Morton? Morten? Seems to
me I've heard that name afore. Ain't
he the gambler? The one that come
near bring run out of tewu for stealing
a bedquilt from the poorhouse, or
something like that? is he the man
to trust with innocent little children? "
There it was again. The minister
was red as a beet and stammering
about "impertinence'' and "black
guardism." I thought he'd lick that
consumpme right then and there. It
took another five minutes to cairn him
down. And so far we hadn’t gained an
inch.
And just then a horse and buggy
come rattling into the yard. The
horse was all Over lather, like he'd
been drove hard, and the buggy was
white with dust. Everybody looked
out of the window. Sparrow looked
and his face brightened up. I cal'late
twas exactly what he had been hoping
and waiting for. Martin Hartley looked
and his eyes and mouth opened. So
did mine.
‘Twas Lord James that was driving
the buggy, and there was a young
woman with him. The young woman
was Agnes Page.
Agnes jumped from the step and run
to the kitchen door. In spite of the
dust and her clothes being rumpled
and her hat shook over to one side she
was as pretty as a picture. The next
minute she was in the room, staring
solemn at all us men. And her eyes
seemed to look right through a feller.
“Why, Agnes—Miss Page!" ex
claimed Hartley. “Why are you here?
What's the matter?"
She didn't answer him. Just turned
to Washy. And says she.:
“Am 1 in time, Mr. Sparrow? I didn't
get your letter until nearly nine, be
: cause James was delayed at the of
| flee. But I hurried right over. 1 was
so afraid I would be too late. Am I?“
The invalid looked at her. And. if
he'd been the picture of misery afore,
ho was a whole panorama of it now.
He coughed afore he answered. She
shivered, kind cf. at that cough, and
I don't wonder. If ever there was a
graveyard quick-step. Washy Spar
row's cough was it.
“No. ma'am," says he. “I guess not,
but I don't know. The shock of it. and
—and ail. has pretty nigh finished me
up. I'm afraid. 1 don't cai'late I'll pull
through, but I may. Let's hope for the
best, anyhow. But. ma'am, if you'd
heard the things that's been said
to me!"
She whirled around on us and her
eyes flashed chain lightning.
! “Ain't you ashamed?" she says.
“Great strong men. every one of you.
and all banded together to torture a
i poor helpless invalid."
A feller’s conscience is the biggest
fool part of his insides. Now I knew
that what we'd been doing was exactly
the right thing to do. but 1 felt as
mean and small as if I'd been caught
stealing eggs. I kind of shriveled up
as you might say. and tried to ecrouge
back into the corner. Maybe I'd have
got there, only the rest of the crowd
was trying to do the same thing.
All but Hartley. He was a lot set
Mack, but he spoke up prompt.
“Miss Page." said he. “I'm sure you
! don't understand. We—”
She was back at him afore he'd be
gun.
"I think that is exactly what I do—
understand.” she says. “At any rate, I
mean to understand thoroughly. Mr.
Sparrow, what have they said to you?"
Washy cleared his throat. When he
answered twas in a sort cf beg-j.ardon
voice. You could see how he hated to
! speak ill of anybody. He wouldn't hurt
j nobody's feelings for the world. Bless
him! he was a cute shyster, if ever
there was one.
“It's like I wrote you, ma'am." says
he. “They've offered me a place to go
to work, and I've been awful tempted
to take it. 1 want to take it. My land!
I how I want to! But I don't feel able
to dig cellars. I wouldn't last at *t
moren a few days and then what
would become of my fatherless chil
dren with nobody to look after 'em?
And because I think of these things
and can't bring myself to—to—passing
away from 'em so soon, I'm going to
be put out of my house and home. My
little home, that I've thought so much
of—”
He had to stop and wipe his eyes.
Agnes' eyes were wet, too, and her
feet patted the floor. “But why?”
says she. “Why?"
“I don’t know—that is, for sure,
ma'am. You see I ain't been able to
earn nothing for some time. Eureka,
poor girl, she's had to look out for us
all. And I b'lieve the doctor there,
his bill ain’t been all paid: and we
owe Mr. Scudder some rent; and 1
s’pose likely Eureka would be able to
give more of her time to the Island
work, and maybe for lass pay. if—"
“I see,” says Miss Page, scornful. “1
see. And so, for a few dollars you are
to be turned out cf your home. You, a
poor sick man! Oh! I can hardly be
lieve there are such people in the
world. And yet, I have bad some ex
perience.”
She flashed a lock at Martin as she
said it. He turned white under his
sunburn.
' Miss Page," he said, “you do not
understand. I must insist that you
hear our reasons for this proceeding.“
“It is not necessary,” she says, cold
as ice. “I have heard enough.”
The minister plucked up spunk to
speak. But she snapped him up short
as pie crust. Then I tried it—and got
my medicine.
“Mr. Sparrow,” says she. “let them
do their worst. The children shall
come to my school. As for you, I
mean to—“ Then she turns to me.
“Does Mr. Van Brunt know of this?”
she asks. Course I couldn't say nothing !
but I believed he didn't.
“Thank goodness!” she says. ~ And !
just then who should walk in but Van
himself.
“Hello!” says he, surprised. “Eu
reka told me you were at the village,
j Martin, so Lycurgus rowed me across.
One of the children said you were
! here. What is this, a surprise party?
And Agnes, too! Am I too late for the
l refreshments?”
He smiled, but nobody else did.
“Edward," says the Page girl, “will
you do a great favor for me?"
“Yours to command, of course,” he i
answers, puzzled.
1 I
“Will you find a boarding place for i
Mr. Sparrow?”
“Who? Eureka’s father? Why. j
! certainly. What's the trouble? Is it i
| time for the Sparrows to nest again? I
I He can come over to the Island with I
| us. There's plenty of room. Hey, {
■ Martin?"
"Never mind your friend, please,"
I says Miss Page, "if he comes will j
; you protect him and treat him kindly? j
i Thank you. Then that is settled. Gen
! ilemen. 1 believe there is no necessity !
for your further inconveniencing your- !
selves. Your several bills will be
l nniU ”
1 looked at the doctor and he looked
; at Poundberry. The minister and
i Brown and Scudder looked at each
l other. Maybe it seems queer that we
didn't speak up and make her hear
i our side—the right side. It does
: seem strange now. I'm free to say, but.
as for me. I couldn't have faced her

Hartley was the only plucky one.
He says, swallowing once, as if he
was gulping down his pride, ' .Miss
Page," says he. "you are treating me
most unfair. To judge without a hear
ing is not—"
She held up her hand. There was a
kid glove cn it. and even then I
noticed how well that glove fitted.
"Mr. Pratt." she says to me. "I want
to ask you one questicn. Who is re
1 sponsible for this? Whose idea
was it?”
I hemmed and hawed. The other
fellers might not have meant to do it.
but somehow their eyes all swung !
round to Hartley.
”1 see." she says. "I thought as j
much. There is a proverb, 1 believe,
concerning what is bred in the bone.
Thank heaven, to me the;-' are some |
things in this world which outweigh ;
my personal convenience and—money.
You needn't answer, Mr. Pratt. He i
pays ycur salary, I believe.”
My, but she said it bitter and scorn
ful. Hartley was white afore, but new
he was like chalk. He bowed to her.
stuck his chin into the air and
marched out of that house as proud
and chilly as a walking icicle. The
rest of us. all but Van and Agnes,
trailed along astern, like a parcel of
kicked dogs.
Washy sung out to us as wo went:
“Good day, gentlemen." he says; “I
hope you'll come and see me some
times while I'm over to Horsefoot. 1
forgive you free and clear. I haven't
no doubt you meant for the best."
The doctor and the rest was brave
enough when we was out of Agnes
Page's sight and hearing. They was
talking big about w hat they d do to
Sparrow when they had a chance. But
-I noticed none of ’em said much to
Hartley. He marched ahead, stiff and
white and glum. Peter Brown's last
word to me was this:
"Pratt." says he. “if you see a hole
in the sand anywheres 'tw’een here
and the beach, mark my name around
it. will you? The waj I feel now I'd
like to crawl into it and pull it after
me. One about the size of a ten-cent
piece would do, and even then I guess
there'd he room and to spare for thq
rest of this gang."
When I get down to the skiff Van
comes running to catch up. He caught
me by the arm and hauled me to one
side.
“Skipper,” says he, “what the devil's
the matter?”
1 told him in as few words as I
couid. He roared. "That's all right,”
he says. "I'll fix that."
He went over to his chum and
slapped him on the back.
"Brace up. old mau.” he says: “it's
a mistake, and a mighty good joke on
you. isn't it? Of course I'll square you
with Agnes.”
Hartley turned on him so quick that
he jumped.
"If you please," says Martin, cutting
and clear as a razor, "you will perhaps
be good enough to mind your own
business. If you mention one word
concerning me to that lady you and i
part company. Is that thoroughly
plain?”
’Twas the first time I'd ever heard
them two have a hard word. The trip
to Ozone island was as joyful as o
funeral.

the other from Dr. Forbes Ross of

Criminality of Waste.
If I wanted to train a child to be
thrifty I should teach him to abhor
waste. I do not mean waste of
money; that cures itself, because very
soon there is no money to waste—but
waste of material, waste of something
that is useful but that you cannot rep
resent in money value to the waster.
There is waste of water, waste of gas
and things of that kind. If you would
wish your children to be thrifty I
would beg to impress upon them the
criminality of waste.—Lord Rosebery,

320 ACRES INSTEAD
OF 160 ACRES
As further inducement
to settlement of the
wheat-raising lands of
Western Canada, the
Canadian Government
has increased the area
that may be taken by a
homesteader to 320 acre^ ICO free and 160 to
be purchased at $3.00 per acre. These land
are in the grain-raising area, where mined farming,
is also carried on with unqualified success. A
railway will short1;/be built to Hudson Bay, bring
ing the world’s markets a triourand mile* nearer
these wheat-fields, where schools and churches
are convenient, climate excellent, railways dose to
all settlement, and local markets goed.
*T wouid take time to assimilate the revela
tions that a visit to the great empireiying: to
the North of ua unfolded at every turn.” —
Correspondence of a National Liitor, who hunted
