CHAPTER IV. ( Continued. )
"Tom , " said Mr. Vernon , in a thick ,
broken voice. "I'm not going to be a
hypocrite , least of all with you. I have
not looked into that book since I was
a young man. I do not love it. Had
you brought me a Shakespeare , I should
have hailed it more gladly than a chest
of gold ; but a Bible keep it , Tom , I do
not want a Bible. "
Tom had dropped his hold of the
chest to clasp the little book
closely to his breast. His eyes glowed ;
his rough face kindled into en
thusiasm.
"What , sir , with all your learning
and knowledge you don't understand
the value of a Bible ? Why I , that have
such a hard time a-spelling out the
words , knew its worth long ago. How
r.re we going to live here all alone on
this heathenish island ? How are we
going to bring up two immortal souls
without a Bible ? How are we going
to die as'i ship for a cruise that has no
return voyage ? Oh , sir , I don't be
lieve my own ears how could you have
lived all these years without a Bible ? "
A gloomy stare was his only answer.
"Poor soul , poor soul ! " continued
Tom , in a soothing , chiding voice , such
as he would have used to a wayward
child. No wonder you've been so sorrowful
rowful and benighted. 'Pears to me
I see the Lord's hand in this. He don't
mean to lose so useful a servant as you
oughter be. He's put you here where
your fine false books sha'n't hurt , and
has left you only one to read. Here it
is ; take it oh , sir , take it , for poor
Tom's sake for your boy's sake. "
Here Tom's voice failed , and fairly
sobbing , he thrust the book into the
unwilling hand and darted into the
woods.
Mr. Vernon's face was fairly ghastly
beneath his struggling emotions. Bid
ding the children help Tom unload the
ratt , he turned and strode , not in Tom's
direction , but toward the hills , into
whose verdurous depths his tall form
speedily disappeared. They did not
see him again that day. Late in the
evening , when perturbed and anxious ,
Tom was just setting out to find him ,
he made his appearance. The intense
brightness of tropic starlight showed
Tom his face. It was like a sea over
which a storm had passed or a green
valley where a hurricane had swept.
There were traces of great struggles , of
mighty forces battling fiercely , scat
tered wrecks , uprooted growths of
many years' mistakes and sin , the
blackened mark of the lightning's
scathing , the exhaustion and weakness
of intense excitement but his eye
shone clear and bright , like the sun
that has dispersed the clouds ; the air
was purified , the tempest over.
"Tom , " said he , holding out his hand ,
"my brother , my best friend , your hand
has smitten the hard rock , and the
waters have gushed forth. Here is
your Bible. I will read it every night ,
and jrou shall teach us three children
its divine meaning , its holy encourage
ments , its beneficent forgiveness. "
Even as he spoke he staggered and
caught at a tree for support.
"You are weak and overcome , sir , "
said Tom , anxiously. "You have fasted
all day , I fear. Let me help you to the
house and give you a little of the
brandy. "
"Fasting and humiliation are for
such as me , " answered he , " but I be
lieve through your blessed influence the
light is breaking. Yes , let us go in.
Tonight , Tom , for the first time these
many years , I have prayed with my
whole heart and strength and soul. "
Nothing more was said , although
Tom laid awake half the night listen
ing in sorrowful sympathy to the rest
less tossings , the stifled sighs and gush
ing tears that came from the bamboo
couch behind him. Toward morning
he fell asleep , and when he awoke ,
there , at the head of the other bed sat
Mr. Vernon , his pale face no longer
cynical and gloomy , but irradiated with
peaceful joy , as he bent , utterly ab
sorbed , over the sacred volume.
"All right , " said Tom , joyfully , as he
slipped away noiselessly to find the
children busily following Mr. Vernon's
hint , and preparing a breakfast for
their slumbering friend.
"We'll have a little change shortly , "
said he , devouring , totheir infinite
satisfaction , with much relish , the
nicely-peeled bananas. "I saw some
fine fish and lots o' wild ducks yester
day ; and , alongside of Walter's pig , I
calculate we'll be ready for foul
weather. Plenty of work will keep us
all busy and happy too , thank the
Lord. "
"Which communication was reiterated
when Mr. Vernon came out from their
log retreat and joined them on the
green.
"Ah , sir , " said Tom , "I feel more
reconciled to this the more I think on 't
Jest this beautiful spot is right for a
body to spend his last days in. We'll
not be hankering after worldly goods
and forget to look to the harbor we're
drifting to. I shou'dn't mind seeing
old England again and my good sister
Honor. You see , sir , she-and I was all
there was , and so we kinder sot Jiore
by one another than common folks.
I'll warrant the poor soul has cried her
eyes red many a night for wanting to
gee me , and 'twill he a dreadful stroke
when she knows the ship's lost But
one of these days she'll know every
thing ; 'taint so long , anyhow , this 'ere
li c of ours. Besides , Honor's a mighty J
smart woman ; she'll take care of her
self and other folks too. I wish she'd
a-had all the wages the ship owed me ,
but , lawful heart , who knows perhaps
the good Lord's rewarded her with
great things by this time. I hope she'll
get a kind , good husband to make my
place good. I ain't going to worry ,
anyhow I'll be happy here where the
Lord's put me. "
"You've always done so , I suspect , my
brave-hearted Tom , and a useful lesson
have you taught me ; and here now is
my hand to join you now in the bargain
to do the best and be the best we
can. "
"Not mostlike for the sake o' them , "
ventured Tom , nodding toward the
children , "but for that" lifting his
eyes reverently upward.
"Ay , for that , " answered Mr. Vernon ,
grasping the outstretched hand. And
so the compact was sealed.
Two months saw a great change in
our island. A newly-paved walk led
up from the water to tue green ; a com
fortable , commodious , if not luxurious ,
dwelling peeped romantically from the
embowering vines whose luxuriance
hid the roughness of the log foundation.
Carefully tended flowers had been trans
planted to its little plot , and within
the house was tastefully arranged the
pretty , ingenious bamboo furniture up
on which Tom was never weary of des
canting , declaring that no one but Mr.
Vernon could Have produced anything
so good to use and pretty to look at.
Everything that was saved from the
ship was used to deck the pretty parlor ,
which was sometime to be given up
entirely to Eleanor's use ; and there
was a shelf filled with the treasures
Tom had concealed until his quick per
ception was satisfied that they would
not be able to injure the preciousness
of Mr. Vernon's Bible a Shakespeare ,
a dictionary , an old history , and
"Faulkner's Shipwreck , " besides a
quaint old-fashioned novel and an al
manac that Tom declared to be worth
all the rest.
Outside , just far enough to suit Mr.
Vernon's fastidious taste which Tom
respected , though he could not under
stand it was the former's especial
pride and delight , where he whiled away
in placid satisfaction many an idle half
hour the pig-pen , whose unruly in
habitant had been secured by strata
gem of war that had delighted Walter
hugely. Beyond that was set a large
coop with some half a dozen wild
ducks , and in a pen built over a small
pool lounged in the sun three or four
fat turtles.
Here was Tom's field of congenial
labor , although in no wise did he ne
glect any other branch of the business ,
as Walter facetiously termed it. In
deed most industriously and tenderly
had he watched the few hills which he
had planted with the corn found scat
tered round the ship's hold a forlorn
and hopeless task , as he was finally
obliged to confess , for in that latitude
of prodigal lavishness the hope and
comfort of sterile regions refused to
grow.
Another useful task had-the worthy
sailor performed ; he had nailed the flag
saved from the sinking wreck field
reversed as a signal of distress upon
the top of the tallest tree on the hili
behind them , saying as he did so :
"There ! if only one of our British
frigates get sight 0' the old flag calling
for help , I'll be bound they'll tack and
come many a knot out o' the way to see
what's wanted. "
CHAPTER V.
JnB

"Petrel" 1 a y a
broken wreck ,
dashing to and fro ,
on the ccral reef of
the little island.
Still the patched
and yet tattpred
flag floats off Irom
the cocoa tree on
the hill , and still
the little log dwelling , now enlarged ,
and a perfect bower of glossy vine and
gorgeous blossom , stands beneath the
grove of palm and cocoanut. At the
door of the "Retreat" a name Mr. Ver
non had given it at first sat that gen
tleman himself. Time had added sad
furrows to his forehead and scattered
silver threads plentifully in his dark
hair , but the face itself was most essen
tially changed. Could that benigh ,
tranquil countenance belong to the cyn
ical misanthrope who railed at the fate
that saved him from a watery grave ?
Ah , the well-worn book clasped in his
thin fingers betrays the secret of the
change. Tom's Bible has become a
valued and abiding friend ; the tempest-
tossed spirit is moored safely to the
Rock of Ages , has found the peace that
the world cannot give and cannot take
away. Mr. Vernon's eye was raised
quietly from the book as a merry whis
tle and measured tread broke the still
ness , while Tom our same rough ,
bright-faced Tom came trudging
down the hill with a .pole hung with
bread-fruit on his back.
"You are home early , Tom. "Where
are the children ? "
"I didn't have to go so far as 1 ex
pected. Walter has got a nice string
of fish , too reg'lar beauties. I didn't
catch the pig in the trap this time , but
the other I reckon will fetch him.
Oh , the children , they stopped at the
rock Walter calls Nelly'e Throne , and
BPHHflHflBBMHMHIHHMIHBiMBMiBHBBHBBMHHflH
as 1 comt along I see well , no matter ,
but I can't help laughing to think
we're calling them children. I begin
to think they're getting along to be
young folks mighty fast"
Mr. Vernon started up and said hur
riedly , while a shade crossed his fore
head :
"I will go and meet them. "
"What's the matter now , I wonder ? "
soliloquized Tom , removing the odd af
fair , half hat , half turban , to wipe his
moist forehead. "I'm sure there's no
need o' meddling with honest lovemaking -
making ; it's lawful for a magistrate to
marry a couple , and since we hain't a
parson * why won't Mr. Vernon do jest
as well ? "
Meanwhile Mr. Vernon had taken a
path which led him up a cliff which
jutted over the water. He paused a
moment in involuntary admiration of
the scene before him.
The huge white rock of coral forma
tion rose out of the embowering green
like a throne indeed , and all around
it , catching here at a tiny stalk , there
at a down-reaching branch , festooned
vines , whose brilliant-hued flowers
seemed like garlands flung at the feet
of royalty. Overhead canopied the
feathered spray of the inimitably
graceful palm tree , and below , far be
low , foamed the surf , dashing its frothy
columns against the coral piers that sup
ported the rock , and above all spread
out the intense blue of a tropic sky ,
arching down afar off to meet the line
of distant sea. Yet it was not upon in
animate nature that Mr. Vernon's mild
gray eye dv/elt so fondly , but
on the graceful living tableau
the crowning charm upon the
coral rock for there , sitting lightly
as a bird upon its perch , was a
slender , willowy form , not round
enough for childhood and too aerial
for womanhood. A thin robe of thin
muslin , gathered by a girdle at the
waist , fell down upon the rock , hiding
with an illusive veil such rose-tinted ,
naked feet slipped clear from the
awkward sandal as Aphrodite herself
might have envied. The round white
arm , resting carelessly on the rock ,
supported a head whose youthful giace
and loveliness no naiad's mirror ever
rivaled. The sunny ripples of curls
overflowed with their ring of bronzed
gold the vine that garlanded her head ;
the clear eyes shone with a deeper blue
than the starry blossoms knotted in her
breast ; the sweet lips mocked saucily
with their vivid carnation the pale rose
of the cheek. And this was little Ellie !
The transformation was as marvelous
as that which changes the hard , cull
coil of green into the wonderful becuty
of the newly-opened rose.
No wonder there was a look of al
most idolatrous affection in the dark
eyes of the handsome youth who re
clined carelessly at her feet. A sigh
escaped Mr. Vernon as with newly-
opened eyes he read aright the lan
guage of his son's face. For ten years
had these children been his pupils ;
from his hand they had received the
invigorating draughts of knowledge ; in
his steps had they followed to the out
skirts of the immortal fountain of
Science ; for them had he delineated
the beautiful sights his artist's soul
drank in so eagerly ; and , more than all ,
tremblingly , solemnly had he knelt
with them before the Throne of Grace.
All his acquired gifts and natural gen
ius had been exerted to the utmost to
atone to them for the deprivations of
their lot , and he , their guide , their
teacher , their closest friend , had been
blind to their inner lives , and had
needed the voice of sharp-eyed Tom to
jfoint it out to him.
He strode a step forward , and then
paused again , for Eleanor was speak
ing.

S600 FOR A SAUCEPAN.
Hlghley Kept III * Money in a Kiis : Ila ,
and UN "Wife S .Id It for Kaji.
Fletcher Highley , a farmer living
near Liberty , Ind. , received several
hundred dollars last week from the sale
of some stock and placed the money in
his wife's rag bag for safe keeping ,
fearing that thieves might find it if it
were known to be about the house. The
repository seemed such a safe one that
he added his gold watch and one be
longing to his wife. Saturday he was
away from home , and , a peddlar call
ing , Mrs. Highley sold the rags for half
a cent a pound , and received a tin
saucepan valued at 20 cents. When
Mr. Highley returned in the evening
and was about to deposit a few more
dollars in the rag bag he found it empty
and his wife reported the sale of the
rags , and showed the saucepan whh
the expectation of having her shrewd
ness complimented.
Mrs. Highley was horrified to learn
that the bag contained $600 and her
husband's watches. Mr. Highley start
ed after the peddlar yesterday and
found him near Richmond. He pro
fessed to know nothing of the money
and the watch and said that the rags
had been shipped to an eastern rag firm.
Mr. Highley has wired the firm.
A Condensed Style.
Here is a composition from a progres
sive schoolboy : "One day I was in the
country , I saw a cow and hit her with
a rock , a dog bit me , a sow chased me ,
I fell out of a wagon and a bee stung
me , and the old gobbler flapped me , and
I went down to the branch and fell in
and wet my pants. " Here is a whole
novel for you in seven lines. Ex.
Had a Hint of Relatives.
Ninety "blood relatives" followed to
the grave the body of Samuel Cooper
o Pottawatomie county , Kansas , aid
one son , with twenty descendants , was
absent. The surviving descendants
number 150. The old man died singing
a Methodist hymn.
No bird of prey has the gift of song.
I Sun Cnrn For Women.
I Its * 'sun cure , " which is rather heroic -
, ic treatment in this kind of weather , is
what a prominent physician recom
mends for women who spend most of
their time indoors. "A window sun
bath is better than nothing , " he says ,
"but having made up your mind to try
the sun cure , do it with a wirL Walk
the sunny side of the street , choose the
sunny side of the street cars and trains
and sit , stand , walk or lie in the sun
at all possible times and seasons. If
you can get only one hand or foot in
the sunshine , do that much , and when
ever possible let the sun rest on your
hair. The hair is a wonderful conduct
or of the health-giving currents , and
when you take your sun bath let it
hang loose in the brightest raj's you
can find. Do as the ancient Grecian
women did ; Lie in the sunshine with
your hair spread loosely over your
face , and it will show you the effects
of this treatment directly. The un
pleasant dryness which always follows
winter weather and furnace or steam
heat will disappear , and it wiK grow
glossy and strong again.
A Norr Jllumiuant.
A London correspondent of the Man
chester Courier publishes a remarkable
account of a new illuminant , which , if
all that is said of it is true , will push
both gas and electric light very hard.
For its production no machinery is re
quired save that contained in a port
able lamp neither larger nor heavier
than is used with coal oil or paraffin.
This lamp , it is declared , generates its
own gas. The substance employed is
at present a secret , jealously guarded
by some inventive Italians. The cost
is declared to be at most only one-fifth
of that of ordinary gas , and the re
sultant light is nearly as bright as
electric light and much whiter. A
single lamp floods a large room with
light. The apparatus can be carried
around nearly as easily as a candle
stick and seems both clean and odor
less.
A Billion of Coins.
To gain an idea of a billion of coins
place a § 5 gold piece upon the ground
and pile upon it as many as will reach
twenty feet in height. Then place
numbers of single columns in close con
tact , forming a straight line and mak
ing a sort of wall twenty feet high ,
showing only the thin edges of the
coin. Imagine two such walls running
parallel to each other and forming a
long street. It would be necessary to
keep on extending these walls for
miles nay. hundreds of miles and
still be far short of the required num
ber , and not until we had extended
our imaginative street to a distance of
2,2SG } miles that we shall have pre
sented for inspection a billion of coins.
