the man 1 thought better than Dick,
poor lad-no; not poor lad, Patience
never let me hear you name Dick againT
But Dick, hang him, never made love
to one girl while he carried another's
letter next his heart, that I'll swear.
That comes of thinking the son of a
drunken blacksmith could change his
spots never think so a second time,
as sure as my names Tom .Blackthorn.
Never you mind, my lass. never did
think him fit for you. Put him out OF
your mind. As for his money-who
wants his money! And as for him
there; thank the chance that's found
him out. Never you worry about a
blackguard, my lass. I've got a stick
that'lI fit his back to 7, and Ill go
over to Marrish for another loan"

pocket-where was the trust nowp

"He will come = father, he t0iH

The question whether money found
in a shop belongs to the keeper OF the
place or the finder Is often disputed. A
writer in tho Pharmaceutical Record
relates that customer In drug store
once picked up dollar note from the
floor between two parallel counters.
He inquired II any one In the store had
lost II, and finding they had not he
appropriated IT, His claim being dis
puted, the case was submitted TO q
lawyer who said: "The open passage
between the two counters was dedi-
Gated TO the public, not in fee simple,
but as highway which they were in
vited to occupy for purpose Of traffic"
So the finder kept the dollar.

I FABLE THE FOURTH.
THE CAT AND THE CHEsTNUTs.

THE CAT AND THE CHEsTNUTs.
Across wide, sloping plain, almost
desert-like in its wide expanse, and
under blazing sky, Dick Blackthorn
was riding alone on Wednesday, July
26, 1909. How he had got thero would
probably have puzzled himself to tell.
But he did know that the country was
called Spain, and that the shabby uni
form he wore was no longer that Of
King George. but of His Highness Joao
Maria, Regent of Portugal and Prince
OF Brazil. That horse had to do with
the matter was certain, for one was
even now carrying him. That woman
had to do with It was not unlikely.
But, however that may be, here he was,
adding yet another experience to his
varied biography. Nor was 1t, to-day,
of the most agreeable kind. For he
was toraglng in a country which, so far
as eatables went, had been shaved, be-
tween Frenchmen and Spaniards, much
cleaner than the palm of his hand.
Far away to the right ran an unbroken
chain of high and rugged mountains;
to the left, river, which served also as
guide. Never was water more well
come, for the soil, baked into dust, was
cruel to horse and man. He had rid
den out from the little town Of Esca-
Iona, higher up the river, with an empty
stomach, and seemed likely to return
to it with that and empty hands besides.
Dick Blackthorn had never been much
given to thinking, so there is little to be
gained by opening his mind. If a roll
ing stone once took to thinking, II would
become too heavy to roll. His thoughts
may safely be summed up in the hope oil
finding some wretched village or other
in which cheese and a bottle of wine
might still be found.
He was watering his horse at con-
venient shelf in the river, and medita-
ting on the stupidity Of Nature in not
making her streams Of Almagro or Val
de Penas, as il she had more care OF
creatures with four legs than of crea-
lures with two, when his horse, having
satisfied his simple tastes, threw his
head up and his ears back and neighed.
Dick pricked his ears also, and pres
emily he heard the sound Of hoofs com
ing at quick trot towards him. Now
Dick, after his usual reckless fashion,
had foraged rather far; and it came
into his head, somewhat late in the day,
that II his Lusitanians were at Escalona,
on the right bank Of the Alperche, Mar.
shall Victor and the French were in force
at Santa 0lalla, on the left; and thai
they required to forage, too. So he got
ready with his carbine. The hoofs die
not sound as il it would prove NOR,
than one to one, and French dragoor
out plundering might be as good as
village to the man who caught him. Ht
was sick of soldering, but he had al
ways dearly loved fight man to man
and when It had nothing to do with dis
cipline or duty.

Sorry He Advertised.

1t is better to be born lucky than
started what was destined to become
one of the most famous journals of the
Countrywide American Agriculturist-
he had occasion one Saturday after
nOen $50 the story runs) to go out of
town rather unexpectedly, but before
leaving he took care to call his office
boy and give him the necessary money
to pay the weekly bills, with instruc-
tiOns to take what was left and with it
insert small advertisement of the Ag-
ricuiturist in the New York Herald.
The boy must have been dnll-witted,
for instead of carrying out his orders
he went down to the Herald office and
giving the clerk the entire sum, told
him that it was to- pay for the adver-
tisement ne had just handed in over
the counter. The clerk said it was all
right and the boy asked no questions.
next morning when he picked up Mr..
Benefits paper and found a whole
page or so taken up with the catch line
repeated over and over again, "Read
the American AgricultuIist !" From
being astOnished he became indignant
and furious, swearing that it would
ruin him, for at that time he was bare
ly able to meet his expenses. But
there was nothing for him to do but
"grin and bear it," and he therefore
finally accepted the situation. The Sc
quel proved as gratifying as the event
had been distressing. To his great
delight brisk demand for the paper
Immediately sprang up. Orders began
to pour in, and before he realized it
this accidental stroke of advertising
enterprise had laid for him the fonda
ton of fortune
