then appealed to Van llrtint. Spuriow
to escape tint trentnient proclalined him
self well and went to work. Stoiin-bonnd
on Ozone Inland, Van Hriint and Hartley

the sqene of the reconciliation between
Hartley and Agnes.
CHAPTER XIX. Continued.
"When I was In God's settlement
yesterday," ho went on, referring to
his home town, I Judged, though I'd
never heard aforo that It belonged in
that neighborhood, "I met an old
friend of Hartley's governor of his
father, I mean. This friend bad been
abroad for somo time and had Just
returned. He spoko of Martin, nnd
what a lino fellow ho was; to all of
which 1 Bet my hnnd and seal, of
course. Then he said that the wuy in
which young Hnrtley had paid his fa
ther's debts and saved tho family
honor and credit was one of the big
gest things ho knew of. I expressed
surprise. Then ho was surprised to
learn that I didn't know, being Mar
tin's closest friend, and told me the
rest.
"It seemed that Hartley senior wns
heavily Involved when he died. He
had speculated and his affairs wero in
horrible shapo. Martin didn't know of
this until the old gentleman, on his
death bed, sprung It on him. So then
the plucky chnp started In to save tho
name. Ho arranged with the credi
tors this man who told mo tho story
was one of them for time, and set to
work. He worked nights and days
and In his sleep, I guess. He had
promised bis dad, for his mother's
sake, not to tell u soul, and he didn't.
Every creditor wns pledged to secrecy.
Even his own mother didn't know It to
tho day of, her death. But ho paid
dollar for dollar and broke down when
it was over. That's why he was will
ing to Join with me in this bunt of ours
after the Natural Life. Agnes' cutting
him made him reckless, I suppose. And
when he was on his feet again finan
cially ho lost Interest In tho whole
game."
"And now that he's well and husky,"
I says, "her mistake about his doings
with tho old man Sparrow set him
going at it again. I suppose his dig
ging in tho hardest and keeping it
quiet on account of his promise was
what made her call him a money
grabber. I might havo known 'twas
something Hko that."
"So might 1," he says, "If I wnsnl
such a careless, happy-go-lucky Idiot.
You see I always thought, that the
'merconary' business was only a cloak
for the real reason of their broaklng
off. She only took up with mo because
our peoplo wanted her to. I've been
sure of that for a good while. But
why Martin didn't come to mo whon
he was In trouble, Instead of going It
alone like a bull-headed chump, Is '
Ho stopped and went to thinking. I
looked at him and I guess there wns a
question In my face, for he answered
It without my sayJng a word.
"Certainly I shull toll hor," says ho.
"When is the noxt train to Eastwlch?"
Ho went to the school that after
noon, and stayed at tho Bay View
house over there that night. Next
day, aforo I left tho Island, Hartley
comes rowing over with Scudder. Ho
was feeling chipper as could be and,
except for his arm In a sling, you
wouldn't havo known there was any
thing tho matter .with him.
About eleven or so that forenoon
Eureka conies running out to the hen
yard where I was. Her face was on
tho broad grin.
"Thoy'ro coming," says she. "Tho
wholo of 'em!"
"Who?"
"Why, Miss Agnes nnd Miss Talford.
Nate Scudder Is rowing 'em and Mr.
Van Brunt 1b along, too."
And so thoy wns. I could sec the
I, dory half way across already.
"Hooray!" I Blngs out. "Lot's te.ll
Hnrtley."
"Don't you dnro toll lilm," sho or
ders. "Ho's In tho house. You lot
him stuy there. It's your Job to meet
that boat and koop tho rest of 'oin out
of tho way."
I was nt tho beach when the dory
landed. Miss Talfoid and Van got out
first. Then comes Agues Page. Sho
stopped up to mo and held out her
baud.

"Good morning, Mr. Pintt," sho says.
"I'm very glad to heu you."
"Same here, nnv'tiui, I'm sure," says
I. "How's Kedny?"
"Who? Dennis? Oh, ho's almost
well. We left Juntos In chnrgo of tho
children. Are you all well bote? Is "
"Yes, ma'nm. Ho's doing llrst-ratc.
You'll find him In the dining room."
She reddened up like a climbing
rose-bush In June, but she left mo and
headed for tho bouse. Tho minute she
stepped her foot on thu porch, that
wise critter Eureka dodged out of the
kitchen door. She knew hor IiubIucsb,
that girl did, and whether It had come
to her by Instinct or from Homo Com
forter reading don't make nn atom of
difference.
About 20 minutes after that I hap
pened to have an errand In the kitch
en. I made a dickens of n racket on
purpose when 1 went In, but 'twas
good work wnstod. Hartley and the
Page girl was standing by tho parlor
window looking out, nnd didn't appear
to hear a sound. They'd left the doors
open and I could see 'em. Martin
hadn't only one whole arm, but ho
seemed to know what to do with that
Van Brunt come Into tho kitchen
after n drink of water. Ho seo the
tableau In the parlor. When wo wns
outside again ho spoko.
"Well," ho says, with a kind of
sigh, "that settles It. And yet, by
George! I'm glad. Yes, sir; It's as It
should bo and I'm thoroughly glad
of It."
I couldn't think of nothing to com
fort him, poor feller. But 1 squeezed
bis hnnd hard. 1 guess be knew what
I lAi lm in- m n
7i n CwtA S)
Martin Hadn't Only One Whole Arm, But
That.
I thought of him nnd his self-sacrifice.
And yet, a couple of hours later,
when I told Eureka, she didn't seem
to think so much of It.
"Humph!" she says. "Self-sacrlflc-Ing's
nil right, hut you look here."
Sho took me by the arm and led
me to the woodshed window. Down
by tho cove on the beach was Van
Brunt and Margaret .Halford, walking
up and down together. Thoy was both
laughing nnd acting perfectly con
tented. Eureka gave me a nudge and a wink.
"I told you I had my IdeaB about him,"
says sho.
Tho Fresh Air girls went back to
Eastwlch that afternoon. When they
had gone Van turns to mo.
"And now, skipper," Bays he, slap
ping his hands together brisk; "now
thon for packing up, and back, back
to little old Now York. 'Oh, Uncle
John! Isn't It nice on Broadway?' or
words to that effect."
Thoy was all going together; tho
Heavenly Twins and Iord James and
tho Fresh Air girls and all their tribe.
Hedny's sickness and tho worry that
It brought had made Agnes and Miss
Talford anxious for tho city, where
doctors was plenty and green apples
scarce. And the Twins was pining for
what Van called "tho Intoxicating de
generacy of on effete (whatovor that
Is) civilization."
Wo packed up, That Is to say, mo
nnd Eureka packed up, while tho
Heavcnlles Btiperlntonded nnd enjoyed
themselves. Scudder'a fuco, when ho
henrd that his private gold mines was
going to leave, was a sight to seo. But,
after a couple of lengthy Interviews
with tho Twins, he seemed to feol hot
ter. "I shall miss 'em terrible," ho says
to me. "But this wot Id's n valley of
dry bones, anyhow, ain't It, Pratt?"
"Valley of dry bone3" and "fleelns
to the ark of safety" was his pot wotds
when ho testified In prayer-mooting.
"I guess so," 1 says. "Still I wouldn't
kick If 1 had our knack of getting
double pi lee per pound for tho hones.
You've mniuigcil to foitlllzo with 'out
pretty well, Nate."
Ho fetched u sigh. "They're such
nice obliging fellers," he says. "And
such good hands nt business. Never
no beating down nor Joekelng for i
trade. I always feel perfectly safo In
dealing with 'em."
1 cal'lnte that statement wu'n't ex
aggerated. Most likely u slunk feels
the same way about dealing with a
school of porglos.
Nate hud ngiood to take bark the
hens and the pig, usnn uoooinmodu-
tlon. He was to pay tltroo dollars for
the hog nnd the fowls was hove Into
scales for good moasuie. Theio was
n lease of tho Island, too, that had to
bo canceled. Them simple-minded
Tea Leaders bud, In the first fever of
Naturalness, sinned a lease on Horse
foot Bar lo run till November. Now
that their pulse wits normal again
they wanted lo bieak that lease, and
tho job wns considerably more painful
nnd expensive than breaking Hartley's
arm had been. Hut Nate lot Vin btoak,
though 1 thought he'd lit oak them
afoie ho got through.
Htm nnd Enrol a and mo bad a good
many talks nliout the Twins when wo
was alone together. Tho last of these
talks we had on the afternoon of thu
day afoie tho giund Until ouilgtntlon.
Lord Janies was over on an errand
nnd he was In tho kitchen with us.
Euicka begun the talk.
"I ain't quite made up my mind
whether tboy'ie really ota.y or not,"
she says, referring to the Heavcnlles.
"They don't act much more loony
than some of the earls nnd such In
books. Anil yet they must be some
out of their minds or they wouldn't do
such fool things. Once they was all
for living poor and Natural. Now
they're all the other wuy. Switching
'round like that is a sure sign of weak
ness In the top Btorles."
"Most city folks act to mo somo
crazy," says I. "And perhaps theso
two, being tho tonlest kind, Is crnzier
than othets. Maybe tho higher up you
go the loonier they get. 1 read In a
Knew What to
paper once about how some rich big
bug glva a swell dinner to a pet
monkey. The Twins nre Solomons
alongside of him. And, anyhow, they're
mighty nice young fellers. Money muy
have got to their heads, but their
hearts Is In the right place."
" 'Taln't n question of hearts," says
Scudder. "Way 1 flgger it out the
Almighty sends 'em down here on
purpose. We poor folks alongshore
don't havo much chnnco to earn nn
honest living, and mi tho Lord takeB
pity on tts and makes men like theso
two get cracked and hanker to llvo
In tho sand and spend money. You
put your trust In the Higher Power.
He evens matters up In tho long run."
His lordship broke In then; and my!
but bo was top-lofty and scornful.
"Crazy yourselves!" ho sniffs. "My
"eavens, I've done some traveling in
my time, with Iml 'Enry and tho
rest; I've been all over. And never In
my llfo 'avo I seen such a Gawd-forsaken
country as this, or such a bloom
ing lot of ignorant 'nyseeds as Is 'ere.
W'y, you don't know 'ow to llvo at nil
and yet you'ro proud of it. You 'aven't
no' conveniences, and you eat with
your knives, and you've no manners.
Lord'elp you, I any! You're nil crazy
together, and don't know 'ow to act
In good Hoclcty. Mr. Van Brunt and
Mr. 'Artley Is gentlemen, and what
you call their crazlnoss Is nothing but
tho eccentricities of gentlemen. And
If you think they're eccentric! W'y
compared to somo I've worked for, like
Lord 'Enry"
'Twaa high time to stop him. "But
they're so ciazy loose with their
money," says 1.
Ho was hotter than ever. "Do you
suppose," ho asks sarcastic, "that a
real gentleman 'iib time to 'agglo over
a fow dirty pennies?"
Nobody said any moro for a spell.
Then Eureka unys, Hko she'd boon
thlnklug:
He
"I cal'luto," says she, "that It's nil In
(ho way you've been rained. Maybe
I'd net Just ns queer and looney If 1
went to tho city; that Is, It I hadn't
posted myself up by reading. I'll lend
ou the Comforters with 'False but
Fair' In 'out, Mr. Pratt, some time."
Next day wo all met nt the East
wlch depot. Agnes Page and Miss Tal
ford nnd the Fresh Air ttlbo, Including
lledney, who wns chipper and gay ho
cause ho was going bnck to Now York.
Tho Heavenly Twins was there. So,
was me and Eureka to see 'em off.
Wo spent 15 minutes or mote In say
ing good-byes. 1 felt teal bad and so
did everybody else, 1 guess. Hattley
and Agues couldn't say enough to me
about my stilling tluough that galu for
'em tu tho Doia llassolt. Tho poor
old sloop was still tied up to tho
Wapatomao whutf. Baker had been
looking out for hor and I wns going
over that afternoon myself.
Agnes said sho and Hartley would
surely come back next Hummer. I must
wtlto and so would they. Eureka's
brothers ami sinters was to havo
monoy to help along their schooling,
and Washy Sparrow would keep
wheeling locks, or. If he didn't Squlio
Poundlierry would nttond lo him.
"Pn wanted a holiday on account of
your loav'.ig, Miss Pago," says Eu
tokn. "Hut I told him 'twould bo a
bigger celebration If he kept on to
wotk."
Scudder wu'n't nt tho depot. He
was too busy moving the duds off of
Ozono Island to got away. But ho'tl
sent a package by Eureka. 'Twits n
present for Van Brunt; somuthlng to
tomember hint by, ho said.
Van opoifl-d It. Then thoro was a
general "haw haw." 'Twas that worked
worsted motto, "What Is Homo With
out a Mother?"
"James," says Van, bubbling over
with lahghter, "this Is your property.
1 couldn't depilve you of It."
Ills lordship was disgusted. "1
wouldn't 'nve tho blooming thing In
tho 'oiiho; with nil respect to you,
sir," says lie.
Agues said sho'd take It. It would
bo u splendid souvenir.
"Scudder's a kind-hearted chap,"
says Van. "Ho means well."
That was too much for me. I took
n piece of paper out of my pocket.
Twas a llttlo hill I'd made out tho
night afore.
"Here," I says; "Just run your cyo

Vnn took It. It read so: ,
