CHAPTER X. Continued.
"I'll go you," says Martin, shucking
his Jacket "Sol, what do I do noxt?"
I showed him. I stnrtcd 'oiu oven
on cucumber beds. They hoed llko
they went by steam. You never see
such ambitious farmers In your life as
thoy waB Just then.
"Kind of hard work, ain't It?" says
I, watching their front hair get damp
nnd stick to their foreheads.
"Work?" sayB Van. "This Is recrea
tion, man!"
"All right," I says. "Heave ahead
and recreate. I've got to work, my
self." So I went in and swept out the din
ing room. Onco in a while, through
tho open window, I'd get a sight of 'em
laying into the cucumber bedB, with
the sun blazing down. I grinned.
When tho boot's been on ono leg too
long it's kind of nice to see Bomebody
else's corns get pinched.
When they como In to dinner thoy
was Just slopping over with Joy. Gar
dening was raoro fun than a barrel ot
monkeys. But I noticed that when
Van got up from tho tnblo ho rlr. kind
of "steady by Jerks" as If he had kinks
in his back, and Martin moved his
Bhoulders slow und easy and snld
"Ouchl" under his breath when ho
leached too far.
They didn't boom to be in any real
hurry to get back to work, either.
Stayed on tho potch, and smoked two
clgais Instead of one. I had to chuck
out a hint about getting them seeds
coveted up quick afore they'd loavo
their chairs. Then they went, and I
could seo the hoes moving; but they
moved slower.
They turned in light utter supper,
which was unusual. Next morning I
didn't hear a word about gaidcns. Tho
conversation was pretty limited and
doleful, being separated with grunts
nnd groans, so to Bpoak. When Van
Brunt dropped his napkin ho hollered
to me to come and pick it up, and
Hartley fed with his loft hand and
kept the light In his Jacket side pock
et. They didn't seem to enjoy that
meal half so much as I did.
"Well," says I, to bilghton things
up; "I cal'lato them cucttmbois Is
ready to eat, pretty nigh, by this time.
Staited on jour corn, yet? No? Woll,
you mitBtn't lose no time. It's lato in
tho season now. Como along with mo
and I'll get you going."
I headed for tho door as I spoko.
They looked at each other again. '
"It's pretty cloudy for planting, Isn't
It?" asks Hartloy. "Wo might- bo
caught In tho rain, you know."
"Rain your granny!" says I. "Them
clouds is nothing but heat fog. It'll
burn light off."
"Walt till wo llnlsh our clgnra, skip
per," sayB Van.
"No," says I. "You can smoko and
plant ut tho samo time. Smoke '11
drive away tho mosquitoes."
They got up then and followed me
out. Tho hoes was laying by the beds
and I handed 'cm ono apiece. They
took 'em, not with what you'd call en
thusiasm, but moro tho way tho boy
took tho licking believing 'twaB moro
blossed to glvo than to receive. The
cucumber beds was begun beautiful,
the 'first hills rounded up flno and
lovely. But tho tall-end ones looked
llko tho pauper section of tho burying
ground, moro useful than ornamental.
I showod 'em how to plant tho corn
and went away, leaving 'em leaning on
their hoes, with a kind of halo ot
mosquitoes around their heads. My
talk about smoko was moro or lcua
sarcastic; tho mosquitoes on Horso
foot Ozono was smoke cured and fire
proof. I got tho breakfast woik done about
ten o'clock and then 'twas time to go
after tho pig und the hens. I took tho
skiff oars out ot tho barn nnd then
walked around by tho gnrdcnB to seo
how things was getting on. Thora laid
the hoes by tho placo where tho corn
hills was intended To bo, but thoro

hailed onco or twice hut didn't got any
nnswer. Then I went on down to tho
skiff. And there they was, Bprawled
out In the shade of tho pines, as com-J
lotiamo as you please.
"Hello, skipper," Bays Van Brunt,
turning over on ono elbow. "Wo'vo
been waiting for you. VvVtc going
with yon after tho livestock."
"You ate?" says I. "Clot your farm
ing done so early?"
"No-o," ho drawls. "Not precisely.
Tho fact, is Sol, Hartloy and I have
decided that agricultural labors aro
not"
"Labors';" says I, shoving tho skiff
into tlio wutor. "Thought 'twatt recre
ation." "For definition see dictionary," he
says. "It's a painful condition, not n
theory, with us Just now. Martin and
I nro convinced thnt what we need Is
a sea voyage. Como on, Martin."
Hartloy got up, pretty nvorage gin
gcily, nnd they climbed into tlio skiff.
I pushed off und begun to row.
"Woll," I says, after a mlnuto or two,
"it ain't for me to suggost anything,
but, Just for greens llko tho old wom
an stewed tho burdock leaves I'd
like to mention that If you want vege

We Moved Off Stately and Slow, Like
'cm, you'd better bo gottlng tho lCM
of them seeds Into tho ground. What's
tho present standing of that cucumber
bet?"
Van didn't open his eyes. "You win
it," ho Bays, lazy.
I stopped rowing and looked nt him
over my shoulder.
"Meaning whut?" says I.
"Just that. You win tho hot. Llko
wIbo you culti'.ato the cucumbers.
Martin and I, In convention assembled,
havo nominated you for seciotary of
agriculture. Wo resign."
I'd been expecting It. And I'd made
up my mind what to say. But I hated
to say It. Thinks I: "I'll wait till I get
back to Ozone."
So I didn't nnswer, but went on
rowing again. Tho tldo was going out
fast nnd 'twas a hard pull, threo ot
us lu that little skiff, but by and by wo
reached tho main. And thero was
Scuddor's hired boy waiting for us.
"Hello," says I. "Where's Huldy
Ann Mrs. Scudder, I mean?"
"Sho couldn't como," Bald tho boy.
"But I fetched tho hens and things.
Hero they be."
Ho had tho hens a dozen of 'cm
Jammed Into ono lath coop. Tho door
of it was fustencd with a shaky wood
button.
"Handle 'cm kind of caroful," says
he. "That button undoes itself somo
timca." "Whoio'B the pig?" says Hartley.
"Hero ho 1b."
Wo could hoar him. Ho wa'n't lu a
box at all, as ho'd ought to havo been
accoidlng to contract, but setting in
tho saud with his hind legs tied to
gether with string. He was whirling
in circles with his tall for a pivot, so
to speak, and ho seemed to bo'inalnly
squeal, Llttlo ho was, and thin
'poared to me to bo thin as" Nate's milk
of human kindness but tho Heaven
lies fell down and worshiped him llko
ho woBa hog angel.
"Humph J" says I. "la that tho
dear?'"
"That'B the dear," says Vau, patting
him at long distance.
Well, ho weighed four pouud and
cost six dollars, so that's dear enough
for anvbot'.v.
1 loniltd the cilttcia Into tho skiff
the pi? fulrlj sung psnlnia while I was
doing It and then tho Twins climbed
uboaid.
"All light, shipper," says Van.
"Shove off."
"lust a minute," says I. "What am
I going to do take tho next train?
This transput t soems to bo pietty woll
loaded."
It was. Van llrunt was on the
amidships thwait. Huttley was up In
tho how, with tho pig between his
knees. The chicken coop was piled In
tho stern. I ain't no dlmo show dwarf,
and whoic 1 was going to stow myself
was too much for me.
"HumpUl" says Van. "II does look
standing loom only, lleio, skipper;
you kneel on tho back neat. I'll row."
1 didn't exactly kneel, but I Htrnd
died ncross tho stern somehow, with
the butt end of tho hen roost in my lap
and my feet owr each tall Just clear of
tho wet.
Nato'a hoj shaved us lulu deep wa
ter. Ho had to take off his shoes nnd
stockings to do It, and lie was laugh
ing so that he uuide mighty poor head
way. "You pesky young one!" says I,
losing my patience. "If you don't tend
to your Job I'll get out and duck you.
What nio you giggling at?"
"I ain't giggling," says he. "I'm
pushing. Ugh! Haw! haw! Ugh!
Theio ou lie!"
Ho gave us a Until hhove and then
went back and rolled around in tlio
bushes, Somebody was having a good
tlmu If we wa'n't.
Wo moved off stately und blow, like
an ocean liner leaving her dock. Wc
didn't havo any baud, but the pig and
hens furnished music. The skiff's rail
was almost a-wash and my heels
dipped on overy little wave.
Van rowed llko a good ono till ho got
about twotliltds of tho way across.
Then the tide got a grip on us nnd ho
commenced to go slower nnd groan.
an Ocean Liner Leaving Her Dock.
Ho'd miss a stioko and wo'd awing half
way around. Wo was going broadside
on most of tho time.
By and by Hartley spoke up.
"What makes this pig kick so?"
says he, llko 'twas somo kind of a
conundrum. The critter seemed to bo
doing his best to answer It, hut ills
languago wa'n't understandable.
"You look out ho don't kick that
Htrlng oft his logs," 1 hollers. I had to
holler to make myself henid above the
choir.
Ho bent forward and looked down.
"Why!" says he. "I'll bo Bhot If ho
hasn't done It already."
"Hang on to him then!" I yells. "For
tho land snkes don't lot him loose."
Van Brunt glvcB a llnnl groan and
stops tho oars.
"No use, skipper," ho says. "My cu
cumber recreation litis put mo out
of tho race. I wouldn't row another
stioko for tho control of tho Standard
Oil. You'll havo to bo shofor the lest
of tho way."
I didn't know what a "sliofcr" was
and I don't know now; but I could seo
trouble coming.
"Set where you be!" 1 shouted.
"Don't move. Thunderntlbn! Thoro
you go!"
Tho pesky idiot had stood up to
Btrotcb, leaving tho oars in tho row
locks. Course tho skiff swung broad
side on nnd a wavo knocked tho star
board overboard. Hartloy see it going
and mado a Jump and a grab. He
missed It, you might know, but he lot
go of tho pig.
I ripped out a lively kind ot speech
and dovo for tho port oar. The hen
coop was in my way and it and mo
wont headfirst Into Van Brunt's shirt
front. When I got out of tho mix-up
both oars was ten yards astern, tho
pig was doing threo laps a mlnuto over
us and under tito thwarts and tho hens
was all out of Jail and proud ot it.
Llkewlso wo wnu drifting out to sea,
"Well!" Bays I. "This Is nice, ain't,
it? Get out, you varmint!" This last
part was to a pullet that was (lapping
on my shoulders,
Would yon bellovo It, all them
Heavenly loons donu was to Mugh.
They Just roared.
"llo' hoi" whoops Hartloy. "Oh,
dour me! This Is woith tho price of
admission."
"ila! ha!" cackles Van, pulling for
breath, und shoving tho pig out of his
lap. "This Is tho best ever! Tho float
ing gin den of Kdoni Or tho ark! Say,
Martin; I br-gln to sympathize with
Noah."
"Noah sent out a dove, If I rcmoin
her light," sii.vh lliutloy. "Wonder it
It would woik with a chicken?
Whcio's our At.irat, skipper?"
I was mad clean through. Here waa
twice that I'd been mado u fool of on
salt water. 1 wa'n't used to it and it
hurt.
"The ink was afloat for 0 odd, days;
you want to remember that," snya I.
"And this skiff won't float 10 minutes,
loaded tho way she Is, If she drlf's out
side that point."
"Then Hho mustn't drift there,' says
Van. eheeirul. "I don't want to got
wot not now, with James gone. This
la tho only pioHontuhlu suit I've got
loft. If this Is wieckcd jou'll havo to
press It. Sol."
My, but 1 was hopping) Talking
about piesslng clothes and us next
door to going to the bottom!
"I'll picas nothing," snya I. "And
I'll say light now, Mr. Van Brunt, that
I won't 'tend to them gnidens. You
hear "
Van waved his hand. "Your aalaiy
ft om now tin," ho aaya, "will bo "
"No, ll won't. My snlary'a big
enough. It's me that's short short
about UG hotna nut ot tho 24. It
I was two men I might do what's need
ful, but as 'Us I can't. I llko you both
tlrst-tate when you ain't too crazy
hut either jou'll havo to get mo a
helper or I'll havo to quit. Thnt is,
If wo get ottl of this mess nllve, which
ain't likely."
All the time 1 was pleaching this
way 1 was tugging at tho 'midships
thwait. Finally 1 got it looso and
shoved it over tho stein. I was going
to tiy to scull with it.
Tlio Hoavenllea waa completely up
set. Not by the fear of drowning
dtat 'cm. I don't cnl'lato they was
afraid of anything but my talk of
quitting seemed to knock 'em silly.
"By Jove! j ou know," aaya Van.
"This la HcrloiiH, aklpper. You can't
moan it."
"You bet I can!" I snya, sculling llko
all possessed with ono aim and fight
ing pullets with the other.
"You're not going," says Van, do
elded. "You'ie simply not. Is he.
Martin ?"
"I Bhoitld say not," says t'other Twin.
"Sol, If you want moro money or ns
slstants or anything, why, all right.
But we want you. And wo'te going to
keep you."
"Tliat'a suttled then," snys Van,
quick. "What kind of help do you
want anil how many?"
"Well," I snys, cooling down a mite
of cottrso I was pleased to find thoy
liked mo so woll. "Well," I Baya, "It
you could get somebody to cook nnd
help 'lound tho liouso may bo I "
"A cook?" says Vau. "Good! We
get u cook two cooks ten of 'em, If
you say bo. And wo get 'em quick."
"I?t'a get aahoio first," says I. "1'vo
got to make tho point thero or we'll
get"
"Our fliiihh, hey?" ho hays, ending
the sentence for me. "All light; mnke
the point." Then lio got out a cigar
and went to hiuoklng'.
But I wa'n't by no means suro wo
would make the point. Twas tlio
easfatd end of Oono Island I waa
nlnilng for, The tldo Bet In strong,
theio and I could seo thnt the skiff
would ptctty nigh hit the bench, if I
had luck.
Wo zlg-zagged along. Pietty soon
wo got to where tho waves waa run
ning higher. They commenced to slop
into tho boat.
"She'll go under, aiire'a you're born,"
aaya I. "If I can only keep hor up till
wo get into shoal waler."
"I Bcem to havo iicqulted the cast
awuy habit," bays Van. "Once In that
other boat ot yours, Sol, and now in
tills opo. I must swear off. This is
getting monotdiiouH."
The swells run bigger aa wo neared
the point. Tito skiff was half full and
tho slopping and tho-motion stirred up
tho menagetld. Such squealing and
squawking and flupplug you nover
hoard nor saw. Them hous wna all
ovor us und the pig underneath.
Wo rlz on a wavo and begun to cap
size. "Hoio we go!" I yelled. "Stand by!"
Ovor wo went. Tho hena had the
best of us In a way they could fly
after a fashion. I wished I could.
Lucky tho water wa'n't more than
waist deop.
I plowed through tho sand and
undertow and got to tho beach. Hart
loy como next, toting tho pig by ono
leg. The "dear" wriggled looso nnd
headed for the pines, hurrahing llko a
sawmill. Tho most of tho hens had
gone on ahead.
"Humph!" aayB Homebody. "You'ro
pietty wot, ain't you?"
(TO BE CONTINUKO.)
Wise Old Noah.
A Sunday school tencbor in Bryn
Mawr waa questioning hor class about
somo prominent mon ot tho old Testa

who was tho wisest man in tho Biblo?"
she aBked.
"Noah!" Henry answeied promptly.
"Oh, no, Henry," tho teacher said,
"you ddn't mean Noah; you mean
Solomon, don't you?"
"No, ma'am; I mean Noah."
"What makes you think that Noah
was tho wlsost man?"
"Well," said Hcnrj', "my papa says
a man like Solomon, with 600 wives
and S00 porcupines, Is a blamed old
fool, wliile Noah knew enough to get
In out ot tho wet when it began to
