s'Why did you stop me here to men,

{. ITO tell We that 1 know We, an to
tell We Twas yer friend, We bet I'll
never go back on We for any thing in
the past, ole boy, but stick to We like a
leech.''
Bill paused and smiled, and winked
in manner that puzzled Walter.
''How long have you been working
for Mr.. Jack Hawkins?" asked Walter.
''About three years? Do We know
Jack?'
mo, SIR"
''Well, sir, We ought to. Jack is a
jolly fellow: game, too. He never de-
serts a friend and is as brave as lion. :"

at the manner of Bill Martin.
'.Does old Miles give any holidays?"

'.No, SIR
"Then he's an old tyrant. Now,
young chap" said Bill, more mysteri-
Gus than ever, Il have got more
friends here. Iwant you to form their
acquaintance. They are all jolly good
fellows, know how to keep their own
secrets. are brave and stick together.
We are a kind o. brotherhood, We
know. Iwant you to see us and be
one o us. Will We come an see us
when We kin?''
Walter, though completely thunder
struck, assented, and then drove on,
while Bill, with series of grins and
winks. retired into the woods. Little
did Walter Brownficld dream of the ter
rible character of the brotherhood al
luded to by Bill Martin, or the trial it
would cause him.

"Ain't that right?''
"No, you should never use it."

"YOu seem deficient in grammar:

Yes" said John, floundering in a
sea of uncertainty as to the meaning of
his tutor
"You do not seem to know that the
verb must agree with the noun in num-
Der and person, and frequently use a
plural noun as subject and singular

reaching out his hand despairingly.

Walter now saw at once that john
teacher had made Il mistake in giving
him abstract rules. SO he commenced
to give him object lessons. He showed
him the difference between false and
correct sentences, commencing with
the most simple; Il are and 81 am, ~

speech. He declared he would soon
lie able to talk as well as Pinkey.

Miles was alone in her mothers kitch-
en-. Gin Preston Flat kitchens always
belonged to the wife. regardless of all
rules of law either common or statu-
tory.) Pinkey's mind was busy with
thoughts half perplexing and half pleas
ing. A faint flush occasionally suffus-
ed her cheek, followed by look of per-
picking doubt. No remark had been
made in her presence concerning her
companion OF the day before, yet,
proud as she was of him. there was
something so strange and unknown
about him that she did not know
whether it was right or not. He has
always shown himself to be a gentle
man." she finally said to herself, as she
sat BY the kitchen table, looking out of
the window. There is something so
manly about him; his face is so frank,
open and honest that he could not have
done wrong. even if he did come here
as . tramp" The teakettle sang mer-
rily. giving forth hot vapor that filed
the room. Pinkey seemed, if possible,
more beautiful than ever in her neat
kitchen habit and clean white collar.
Remarks, she well knew, had been
made by the neighbors concerning
Walter Brownfield, but until proven to
be an unworthy character she deter
mined to defend him.
The window at which she was sit
ting overlooked the large meadow
lands that lay between the farms of Mr..
Miles and Jack Hawkins She espied
man coming across the field; his
stumbling gait and rough appearance
at once convinced her that it was the
worthless Bill Martin.
