OH , JERKY NORTON'S STORY.
BY HMMA A. OPPEH.
( CopyrlRlit , U07. by S S. .M.CIure. L/t'U. )
"It's aomeboily else's turn to tell a Btory , "
mid Hugh Hogers to the boys and girls at
the .Seaside hotel , a few days after ho had
told them , about CIs Coleman and the prize.
"It's your tutu , Jerry Norton. "
The boy \vth ) the golf stockings said that
bo couldn't tell blades.
"Something that's really happened , you
know , " the girl In the pink shirt waist
begged ; and , since Jerry Norton admired
that particular girl , ho considered | t.
"Well , " said he , "about Hie funniest thing
I've run across for a good while happened
'last summer , when the pater and the mater
and I were at an hotel up ki the Derk-
fihtrcs. "
"Tell .It ! " ( .aid the girl In the bicycle
suit ; ahd Jerry Norton braced against a
trco and plunged Into it.
"There were u lot of fellows and girls
there , " ho hald , "just as there are here. I
Con't say they were any better "
"I shouldn't advise you to , " said the girl
In the pink shirt waist ,
"But there were more of them. We had
elegant times , bicycling and driving and row
ing thcro was H dandy lake
"Hut that Isn't the story. The story's
about Nora I'cll and the llasbrook girls.
j
lANI ) JKllRV NORTON BRACED .AGAINST
THE TIIBI3 ANU PLUNOKO INTO IT.
" \\'e didn't like Nora I'ell to awfully much ,
Bhe'd have been till right If It hadn't been
( or one thliiK. She talked too much , Of
course , glrU always talk a lot "
" \VlmtT" nald tlto blc > cle girl.
" --Hut It was what eho talked about. I
uppoec It was mean , but after elio'd been
< hcre three days a lot of us compared notei.
end on my word ehe'tl told every one of us ,
separately , that her father had Just bought
a nlco lioutfl uptown she came from New
Yoik , tame as most of us and that It had
iianlucod Moors all through and gas logs ,
nd that she would Inherit come money from
u aunt she was named after , and that her
mother was cousin of AttorneyGeneral Soiu -
body-or-other , and that she was an intimate
friend of the llasbr.-ok git Is. "
'Evcrjbody laughed. "Pretty snobbish , I
should say , " said Hugh Rogers.
"That's It. That was all that was llio
matter with her , " said Jerry Norton. "Fred
Gic.shom thought she must be 'nouvuau
richt1. ' I don't know , I rather think she
was-just naturally silly that way.
"Well , after ( .he'd got the main facts Im
pressed on us she stopped talking about the
attorney gencrul and the gas logs and just
pinned herself down to the dlasbrook girls.
Giacious : How she did go on about 'em.
They were Now York people and they had a
country puce ! live or six miles away , and
they were there then. Nora I'ell said she'd
peieuaded her father and mother to come
10 the llerkahircH because ehu wanted to
be near the Hasbrook girls. You'd have
thought she couldn't breathe without them ,
nor they without her.
"Sho told us how rich they were and how
line their place was , how big the house was ,
and all about the stables and the hothouses
ntvl the stutucs on the lawn. She'd visited
them the summer before , and they were the
dearest. loveliest , styllshest , swellest girls
she'd dver known. They were coming over
to see her , she as looking for them every
day and bho wanted us to see them. She
didn't say she wanted us to meet them
she said "see" them , as If they were the
pilnco of Wales or somebody. "
"I'd have punched her , " said the boy with
the tennis jacket.
"Of comse , It got 'to ' bo a Joke , Fred
Oroshom said ho was going to wrlto a book ,
'What I Know About the Hasbrook Girls , '
In twelve volumes. Amy Faulkner said she
expected , from what Nora had said , to see
them come In a gold chariot drawn by four
white horses ; she said she'd bo disappointed
at anything less. "
" 1 was pretty certain I'd met the Hasbrook
girls at u party the winter before. I wasn't
hiire they were the same llasbrooks , though ,
and 1 wus so sick and tirrd of hearing about
them that 1 wouldn't mention It , anyhow ,
I didn't say ft word. "
TUB OU ) IHJOGY.
"Well , " said Jerry Norton , with a dawning
smile which stretched by degrees Into a grin ,
"ono afternoon we were all out on the lawn ,
a lot of us , gabbing. Somebody proposed
going put oit the lake , but Nora I'ell said
weM have to excuse her , for she didn't want
to be nway If the Iat ! > brook girls came.
I remember Sam Sinclair punched mo when
she said It , and Fred Grcshom groaned ,
" 'Hello'1 ' said ono of the boys all at onre.
'What Is this ? '
" \\'o all looked. It was a horse and buggy
that as coming along the road. Honestly , It
waj the worst old specimen of a buggy
I ever saw. It rattled and squeaked , and
the paint was \\orn off , and It was patched
up lu the 'back ' with a new plno board. And
the horse ! I guess he was twenty-five years
old if ho AMIS a minute. He was BO old
ho wis furry all over. There was a maple
bough stuck Into the harness to keep ( lies
off him Sam Sinclair tatd , ' 0 , there's my
camera ! '
"Tho rig was so funny that I looked at that
Instead of the two that were driving. They
drove In ; tlioy came right up the drive and
stopped , close to where wo were , the crowd
of u , "
Jerry Norton paused. "Well , " said the
girl In the pink" shirt waist , puzzled , "What
did that have to do with Nora I'ell and thn ,
Hasbrook girls ? "
"The Hjebrook girls were in that buggy ,
driving the horse , " said Jerry Norton.
All the girls screamed , "Honestly ? " cried
the 'bicycle ' girl.
"That's a yarn ! " said Hugh Rogers.
"They were the Hasbrcpk girls , " said Jerry
N'ortcn. "I knew them the minute I looked
at them. "
"I couldn't say a word , I just stood and
Ured * t Uiew. I didn't believe , tor A
minute , that they were Nora Pell's Has-
brcoks ; I didn't believe It till I lo ked at
Nora. She just sat there. She was red
in the face , and she had her lip between her
tee'h , and she looked as if she thought the
world was going to come to an end right
there , and as If It would be a good thing
for her If it did.
"It really seemed , for n minute , ns If she
wasn't going to sp ° ak to them. So I stepped
up to the buggy , and held out my hand to
Gertrude , that's the older one.
" 'It's Mr. Norton , Isn't It ? ' said she , as
sweet ns could be. 'I'm glad to see you.
Do you remember my sister Nell ? Hello ,
Nora ! ' said she ,
" 'Hello , ' said Nora , ns if it was the last
word she ever expected to say.
"But but , " cried the bicycle girl , writh
ing1 with the keenness of her curiosity ,
"what how did It happen ? "
PIIKTTY MERCHANTS.
"That s what got me , " said Jerry Nor
ton ; "but I didn't say a word. I thought
It was enough for Nora Pell to sit there
looking as if she'd had a stroke of paralysis.
I said , 'Ladies and gentlemen , let me in
troduce Miss Hasbrook end Ml&s Nell Has
brook. '
" 'I'm glad to meet you , ' said Gertrude
Hasbrook an awfully pretty girl she Is ;
she's got dimples in both checks , and uch
a cute way of saying thing * 'I'm glad to
meet you , ' said she , 'and don't you want
to buy some honey ? We've got honey to
sell. We have ten pounds left ; lovely clover
honey , ' said she , 'and only 13 cents a
pound. '
"If you could have heard the way she
.
-f K- > :
I STEPPED UP TO THE BUGGY AND II ELD OUT MY HAND' ' TO GERTRUDE.
sild It ! as Innocent as a lamb , acid cool aa
a cucumber ; and her ulster Nell just sat
there In that outrageous old buggy and
nulled. O , It was rich ! It was elegant ! "
said Jerry Norton , Mapping his knee and
speaking between outbursts of mirth. "And
the way the fellows and girls all stared at
them , and at Nora Pell. I didn't know
but Nora would faint ; she looked like It. "
The girl la the pink shirt waist sprung
up and went over to Jerry Norton and shook
him. "Tell mo this minute why what they
were doing It for ? " cried she. "I'm dying to
know ! "
"So was I , " said Jerry Norton. "I thoujht
of all kinds of thlngu. I didn't know
whether the llasbrook girls had gone out of
their senbCJ , or whether It was a lark , or
uhi'thcr they'd lost all their money of a
sudden and had taken to peddling honey
for a living. I thought most likely It was
a great big joke , but I couldn't wait to know.
I said , 'Miss Gertrude , I'll buy all your
honey myself , If you'll tell us bow you hap
pen to bo selling It ? "
" 'That's a bargain , ' said eho , as bright as
a dollar. 'You see,1 said she , 'there's a
woman lives near our place over there , she
lives alone ; Aunt Phoebe Green , everybody
calls her. She's an good and lovely as she
can , be , and Nell and I think , everything o ;
tier , and she does of us , and we're down
there lots.
" 'She's awfully poor , ' said she. 'Papa
would help her , but she won't take help.
Nell and I make her take things sometimes ,
but It's hard work.
" 'Well , she keeps bees ; she's got thirty
hives , and every summer she peddles honey ,
and that's all the way she has of making any i
money. This morning Nell and I went down
to see her , " said she , 'and she was Hick ; she ,
was In bed. And she was worrying terribly , ]
for sho'd been all ready to go on a honey i
peddling trip today , and there were several !
places where they'd promised to buy , that
she was anxious to get to. '
" 'And bo you went Instead ? ' said I.
" 'Yes , we did , ' said Gertrude Ilatbrook.
Aunt Phoebe wouldn't luar to It , but wo
didn't listen to her. We wanted to do it.
We know It would help her out and we
thought we'd Just enjoy It , and we ran home
and aske.l mamma , and she said yes after
we'd teased a while ; and we ate an early
dinner and ran back 0 , It was fun ! ' said
silo , 'and harnessed up old Peter and put
the honey In , four big boxes of it , and off
we went !
" 'We didn't expect to come so far , ' said
the , 'hut wo wouldn't turn back till we'd bold
It all. And hasn't It been jolly fun every
minute , Nell ? ' said bhe.
"Sho talked so fast , " said Jerry Norton ,
"and her dimples showed , and well , she
was splendid ! and so was Jier sister. Just "
nice , sensible , all-around good Jolly girls ,
both cf them. And you know the whole
business showed them up ? o kind-heat ted
and Independent and all of that that we
all fell right square In love with them , the
whole lot of us In at bunch ! Wo couldn't
help It.
"I 'went ' In and spake to the cook and ho
came out and boufrbH all their honey. And
'then ' Sam Slnclalriigott his eamo'a and took
their picture , they mild ho might , sitting In
that old buggy , with"the pld horse and the
niaplu branch and all. I've got one at home
now , framed.
DISCIPLINING NORA.
"Wo wanted them to stay , but they said
the old horse was to slow they'd have to
start back. They told Nora Pell they'd be
over again SDOII. And they were. "
"Peddling honey again ? " said Hugh
Rogers.
"Not that time. No ; they came , over In
their carriage , with a coachman In livery
and everything In style , and they took No a
Pell and mo In and took us driving.
"But they didn't como for three days ; not
till Fred Greshom hid had a chance to guy
Nora about them. Ho said It wasn't bate lo
go by hearsay and that you couldn't know
how anything was till jou saw It with your
own eyes , and that for his port he didn't look
down on people berauso they were poor. If
( bey wc-ro Industrious and deserving and
such chaff as that , till Nora Pell was 'most
crajy. I was actually sorry for her. She was
provoked with me because I hadn't mentioned
that I knew the Hasbrook girls , and she was
awfully uncomfortable all 'round. We'd all
seen the llasbrooks In tnat outlandish old
'turnout ' and she couldn't get over It. She
didn't know what to do or say , and the con
sequence was she didn't say anything. We
didn't hear another word out of her about the
Hasbrook girls 01-anything else she'd bragged
about. Not even a'fter they'd been over In
the ca Huge. Not even afier they'd invited
' the crowd of us boys and girls over to their
place on a moonlight straw ride and given
us i a tolciiill ; ! supper and a splendid time , and
a chance to see that It was all so , what Nora
Poll had said that they were rich , and did
have en elegant big place with statues on
the lawn , and nil the rest of It.
"You see , " said Jerry Norton , "I guess
Nora Pell did some thinking. Ten millions
wouldn't have spalled the Hashrook girls ;
they'd have been just the same good-hearted
gl Is , without any airs nor nonsense about
them , and I think Nora I'ell began to see It.
And she saw that we all liked them a whole
lot better for being Just what they were , and
I think she drew some deductions , as our
algebra teacher says.
"Anyhow , I believe she's reformed , I met
her ' .at dancing school List winter and I
liked her first class. The Hasbrook girls
went to the same school and some or the
other boys and girls we'd met up In the
lie kshlres , and wo had good times together
jail winter. When wo felt like having a good
"laugh we'd ask the Habbrook girls how the
honey 'trade ' was and If they'd been peddling
lately. "
"That's first-rate ! " said Hugh Rogers.
"Don't say you can't tell stories. "
"There's a moral to It , too , " said the girl
In the pink shirt waist. And then they all
went In to lunch.

"Speaking of escapes from death recalls
my experience with the murdeious elephant ,
Romeo. Had I been a llttlo slower In my
movements I would have been his eighth
victim , " said Colonel Rice , reflectively. "One
day I was directing the arrangements of some
canvasmen , and unwittingly ventured n
couple of stops backward and within reach
of 'the ' death-dealing elephant , which at once
raised his trunk slowly with the purpose of
giving me a settler. Ho would have suc
ceeded In killing mo had not a young ele-
phaat near by trumpeted an alarm , and , like
lightning , I at once sprang forward and out
of danger , from the murderous blow of the
trunk by 'such a1 small distance that on the
back of my head I felt the wind occasioned
by Its descent. After that experience Romeo
was alwayH kept chained by all four legs.
The young elephant -who had saved me waste
to warded with candy.
"It Is not surprising that eventually I es
sayed the role of lion , tamer , " continued the
speaker , "and under the able tutelage of t
Franconelll , the best lion trainer I ever saw ,
and who , by the way , subsequently met hifi
( Hath In a lion's den In the city of Havana.
After having twice accompanied the fearless
Francorclll into the den of Richard III , the
largest and fiercest African , lion ever ex
hibited In this country , It was at Vlncennea ,
Intl. , that I at length determined to enter
the den of the beast alone. Clad In lintel I
and spangles , at the afternoon performance ,
u in Id an outburst of music by the hatul , I |
boldly approached the lion's cage , opened I
the barred door and entered unarmed. The
great brute , which was lying upon the floor
aj. the further end of the cage , seemed to not '
heed my presence , other than by a glance
of sullen Indifference , HO that I deemed my
first attempt at entering a lion's den a suc
cess.
cess."But my assurance of success was a little :
premature and fortunate wab it for roe that
beneath the cage was a furnace la which
glowed , red hot Iron rods uid trusty attend
ants at hand to effectively wield them upjn
the lion If ncceiislty demanded , else another
page would have been added to the bloody
history of the king of the forest and another
name to hU list of victims. After a three-
minutes' flay In the lion's den I made a
parting taluto to 4ho breathless audience
and prepared to leave the cage As I
backed'toward the door I obsor > ed lo m >
horror , that the lien was almost imper
ceptibly rising from the floor , preparatory
lo tprlugluL' upon me , Almost overcome by
the grave danger of my situation I conI I
trlved to signal the attendants to thrust thn )
hented rods In between mo and the blood
thirsty brute. Scarcely bad I done so when
the great taw.iy creature hurled Itself full
upon mo and , burying Its claws In my
shoulders , bore me to the floor.
"I foil the hot breath of the lion In my
face as he opened his huge Jaws preparatory
to sinking Ills fangs In my throat and a
horrible death was but a brief second dis
tant , when the redhot Irons were brought
Into play and used so effectively that the
brute was forced to retreat to the far end
of the cage without indicting further In
jury upon me. I was hurriedly drawn from
the cage , none the woise for my thrlll'ng
experience , save badly shaken nerves , lacer
ated shoulders and a tattered tinsel Jacket.
As I hurried behind the curtain the band
triumphantly played , 'See , the Conquering
Hero Comes , ' and I 'noticed ' that a panic In
the audience had been narrowly averted.
Arid what became of Richard III ? 0 , he
lived to kill Franconclll a few mouths later.

"And don't you love ixipa at all ? "
" "Tommy , " said a father to his first born ,
"have you been at those six apples I put In
the "
cupboard ?
"Father , " said Tommy , looking Into his
"
eyes , "I have not touched 0110. "
"Then how Is It that your mother found
live applet cores In yoor bedroom , and there
Is only one " left on the plate ? "
"That , " said Tommy , as he dashed wildly
for the door , "Is the one I dldu't touch. "
There Is a little girl In Cleveland who Is
rapidly causing her '
father's hair to nfnume
the ' color of the driven snow.
The other day she looked up nt h'm ' from
between his kncin and asked :
"Papa , wafl It a wise person who said 'the
good dlo young' ? "
"Yes , " said the musing man , "I guess BO , "
"Well , " she went on , after thinking It
over for some time , "I'm not so much sur
prised about you , but I don't see how mam
ma over managed to get growod up. "
"You have heard of musical prodigies , and
you have noen some of them , but I wont to
tell you how smart my little Freddy Is , "
Trlvvct's frlcndb looked nhnut for nn ave
nue of escape , but he had chosen his ground
well and they t > aw that they could not get
away. They were In for It , and they lis
tened with as much resignation as they
could compel themselves to feel. Nobody
encouraged Trlvvct to pioceed , but ho was
not to bo disconcerted by any lack of urg
ing.
"My Fieddy. " ho went on , "WIIB only 2
years old last month , and yet ho can play-
beautifully on the .piano. "
" 0 , what nro you giving us ? " naked one ,
whllo the other llHtcnera raid the MB mo thing ;
with their looks of Incredulity.
"It's a fact " asseverated Trlvvct.
"O , you mean that If BOIIIO one holds him
In front of the keyboard lie can pound with
hln fists nnd make a noise. Any baby can
do that , mil ! It lo nn evidence of remurkublu-
musical talent. "
"No , gentlemen , that Is not what I mean.
When I pay that Freddy can play upon the
piano I mean that ho can play an the piano.
I never aw him do It before yesterday , but
when I went hnmo In the afternoon , thcio
ho wan , perched on the top of the piano with
hln playthings , and ho wus playing an con
tentedly ns you please. "
At this point Trlvvct started to run nway.
whllo his friends shied things after him.
