SYNOPSIS.
Mr. Solomon Pratt begun comical nar
ration of story, Introducing well-to-do
Nathnn Hcuddor ot his town, and Udwnrd
Van Brunt and Martin Hartley, two rich
Now Yorkers seeking rest, lsecaitita of
latter pair's lavlHli uxnnndlturo of money,
Pratt's first Impression won connected
with lunatic?. Tho arrival of James
Hopper, Van Brunt's valet, gave Pratt
tho dcslrod Information about tho Now
Yorkers. They wished to live what thoy
tcrmod "The Natural Life." Van Brunt,
It was learned, was the successful suitor
for the hand of Miss Agnes Page, who
savo Hartloy up.
CHAPTER III.
Too Many Cooks.
It was a day or so aftor that that I
see Nate Scuddor ugaln. I'd been out
la tho sloop with a parcel of boardors
thoy woro beginning to get thicker
at the Old Homo now, same as tho
mosquitoes and on my way homo I
mot Nato driving down tho Neck road.
Ho was in tho carryall and I hailod
him as ho come abreast of mo.
"Hollo, Nate!" I says. "Taking tho
air, nro you?"
Ho pulled up his horse It didn't
tako a hard pull and, whllo tho crlt
tor lcanod up against tho shafts and
took a nap, Nato talked to mo. It
appeared that thcro'd been more or
loss trouble down his way. Huldy Ann
and Lord Jamc3 hadn't agroed any too
well.
"You see," says Nate, taking a calico
handkorchlef out of his hat and
swabbing his bald head with It, "it's
that valot follor he's too stuck-up to
live."
I wa'nH going to fight with him on
that point, so ho went ahead with his
yarn.
"He como parading out to tho barn,"
says Nato, "and give otit that he'd
been nppolntod cook in Huldy Ann's
placo. Well, sho'd beon sort of laying
herself out, as you might say, to
please them two up at tho house
giving 'em spldor broad and dried ap
ple pie for breakfast, and tho liko of
that and It riled her to bo chucked
ovorboard that way. So alio got sort
earcastlc. That Oppor man, ho"
"His namo's Hopper," I says.
"Ho don't call It so, thon."
"That's all right. Him and 1 had a
Bpolllng match horo t'other day and
Hopper it is," I says.
"Woll, thon, this Hoppor follor ho
lordod It round, asking whore tho
doublo bllor was nnd complaining that
Ho couldn't cook steak without a char
coal fire, and so on. Huldy took him
down, I toll yout
"'Charcoal your granny!' says she.
'I've frlod more stoak than you'vo got
hairs on your hoad, and a plain wood
fire always dono me,' sho says.
"Ho cooked that stoak, and say! I'll
bet tho Iron-Jawed Man I see onco at a
dlmo show up to Dostoa couldn't have
got away with It. Tough! Why, tho
pesky Idiot novor pounded It a bit!
How do you oxpoct to got tondor
etcak If you don't pound it? Haw!
Law!"
When he got through laughing ho
wont on to sny that him and Huldy bad
decided to go over to hor sistor's at
Ostablo for a visit
"Wo'vo beon Intondlng to go for a
good whllo," ho says. "And now we
can do It without Its costing much.
Pay for tho houso goes on whother
wo'ro thoro or not, and tho railroad
faro'll be moro than raado up by tho
Baring in our own grub. I'm a poaco
ablo follor, anyhow," says ho, "and
thoro'd bo no pcaco whllo Huldy and
that Britisher was togethor."
"Caso of too many cooks spoiling
the aouj, hoy?" says I.

"Soup!" ho says. "Woll, you wait a
llttlo spell. If thoy ain't chasing
around ufter a now cook insldo of a
week I'm a Jonah, that's all."
Ho was right Couplo of days later
I hoard from Emmlo T. that tho Twins
had hired Hannnh Jano Purvis to do
the cooking for 'em. Hannah Jano's
late lamented had boen cook on a
Banks boat when ho was young, so I
supposo Bho cal'lated sho'd inherited
tho knack. But I had my doubts.
I was getting real chummy with tho
Heavenllos by this time, so one after
noon I walkod up to tho Scuddor place
to Bee 'am. They wero sprawled out
on tho piazza chairs with their foot
on tho railing and thoy hailed mo as
friendly as if I was rich as thoy was, In
stead of being poorer than Job's tur-
key. I noticed Lord James tiptoeing
around In tho parlor, so I naturally
montiouod him.
"Your valot man, hero," I Bays; "ho
wa'n't quite to tho sklppor's tasto as
cook, hoy?"
Thoy both laughed, Vau Brunt with
his big good-natured "Ha, ha!" and
Hartley with that quiet chucklo of his.
"James," said Van, "is a glittering
success In tho wardrobe, but ho dis
likes to hide his talonts undor a kitch
en bushel."
"James," snld Hartloy, "appears to
apply tho samo methods to trousers
nnd steak."
"Presses both of 'em, don't he?" I
says, thinking ot Scuddor's yarn.
"Flat as a board," says Van. "Bo
sides which, this Is supposed to bo a
ploasuro cruise for Martin and me,
and Jnmos sorves with the cheerful
dignity ot an undertaker. Ho's too
complox; wo yearn for simplicity and
rest"
I grinned. "Woll, you'vo got tho
simplicity with Hannah, ain't you?" I
askod. "I ain't saying nothing about
tho rest."
Both of 'em groanod. I know Han
nah Jano Purvis, and she had tho
nnmo of talking tho hlngos off a barn
door.
"Lord!" says Van. "Lot's change
tho subject. By tho way, Martin; It's
odd that Agnes hnsn't written."
Hartley waB setting out towards tho
front ot tho porch whoro the sun could
get at him. Now ho shifted back Into
the shadow ot tho vines.
"Is it tlmo for a lottor to reach
hero?" ho asked.
"Why, yes. I should think so. Sho
was to reach Now York on tho first
and sail on that day. Sho would prob
ably write on tho Boamcr. It was a
fast boat and, allowing that tho letter
came back lmmcdlntoly woU, I don't
know that it Is tlmo yet"
Ho began to whistle. I gathored
that 'twas tho Pago girl ho was talk
Ing about. The valot had told about
hor going on a trip to Europe. But
it struck me that, for an engaged man,
Van Brunt was tho oasl03t in his
mind of anybody ovor I see. I'vo never
boon engaged myself, but Judging by
them I'vo known who was, he'd ought
to bo shooting telegrams to Europe
fastor than you could shako 'em out of
a popper box.
Nelthor of 'em spoke for a. icinuto.
Then Hartloy askod, quiet m usual:
"Havo you written hor, VauT'
"Oh, yes; dropped a lino tho other
day, tolling hor wo woro safo and duly
housed and so on. Whooped up tho
Joys ot tho 'Natural' and beggod hor to
'go thou and do likewise.' Which she
would liko to do, probably, But whcal
also If I know hor highly respected
mammn she won't."
"Whoro did you nddroBs your let
ter?" Hartley asks, aftor a little.
"Liverpool, care of hor usual hotol.
Sho'll get It nil right always pro
ldod alio hasn't already organized n
settlement colony of small Hooligans
In tht Liverpool alums. Hut there!
Let's forgot morals nnd mntrlmony.
Helgho! Wonder whnt's doing In tho
Street? Not that I enro a rod."
Thoy seemed to havo forgot me alto
gether. Hut I was Interested In their
tnlk all the same, and I'vo tried to nut
It down Just as I heard It. 'Twas queer
talk, but they was queer folks, and I
was learning how tho big-bugs dono
their courting. From what I'd heurd
so Tnr I liked the Wellmouth way full
as well.
Tho front gnlo clicked. Van Brunt
looked up. "Great Scott!" says ho, "It's
the phonograph."
'Twas Hannnh Jano PutvIh coming
home from the next houso with a dish
pan full of pens. Hannnh was a kind
of scant patterned critter without
much rnnviiH on her poles nnd her
sleovcs most generally rolled up. Sho
had brindled hnlr clewed hark so tight
oft hor forehead that hor eyes wouldn't
shut good, and the Impiesslon you got
from the II rat look at her was that alio
wns all square corners not a louud
ono In tho lot.
"Well!" says she, coming up Into
tho wind lti front ot tho piazza and
looking at mo hard. "I do beliovo It's
Solomon Pratt. Why, what a stran
ger you bo! I ain't aeon you for I
don't know when."
I didn't know when ellhor nnd I
didn't try to remember. "Sufllclcnt
unto tho day U tho trouble belonging
to It," tho Scriptures say, If I recollect
It right, nnd 'twas enough for mo that
sho'd seen mo this time. Sho' comes
ovor, dlahpnn and nil, antl planks her
self down on tho stops right in front
of Van Brunt's chair. There alu't
nothing shy or unfriendly nbout Han
nnh Jane; Bho's tho most folksy fc
malo I ovor como ncross, and always
was.
"My sakes!" says she, turning round
to Van, "I bco Mr. Pratt como In hero
and I couldn't mako out who 'twas.
Thinks I: 'They'vo got company and
I must get thoro quick.' So back I
put and I don't know as I'vo got a full
mensuro of pons 'cauao It sccmod to
mo that some of 'om spilled off tho
top when Cap'n Poundbcrry was
omptyln' 'em In. I hopo not, 'cnuao
peas Is high now. Not that It makes
any difference to well-off folks like
you, Mr. Van Bruut but"
"Hadn't you bettor go back and
pick 'em up?" nskB Van, solemn as an
owl.
"Oh, land ot lovo! no. Thoro
wa'n't enough for thnt Besldos I want
to see Mr. Pratt. Well, Mr. Pratt,"
sayp she. "I supposo you'ro surprised
enough to find mo working out. Dear!
dear! I don't know what Jehlel ho
that was my first husband would
havo said; nor my second ono nelthor.
But there! wo can't nono of us novor
toll what's In storo for us In this
world, enn we?"
I mado Borne sort of answer; don't
matter what Sho went ahead lament
ing over what a comodown 'twaa for
her to work out. You'd think Bho'd
boen used to marblo halls to hear her,

'Hannah, I don't feel liko benns, I

"Did ho look like 'cm?" asks Van.
Hannah Jano switched round on tho
slop and stared at him. But ho was as
sober as a church and Just running
over with sympathy, seemed so, so
alio sniffed nnd went on.
"Ilo looked sick," alio says, "and I
could aeo that ho wns sick, too. So I
