In a recent magazine article, Mr.. Ern-
est IngersOll, the noted writer, says:
1.-The climate of southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
Its equability is constant and its climate
is proverbial. The only complaint is that
it is too nearly perfect. Residents bred
in the Eastern States confess now and
then that rousing storm would give
them a grateful sensation. But this
sentiment meets with no approval from
the man who has just fled from super
fluffy of wetness and chilling gales. To
him perpetual summer seems perpetual

Personal Note by Editor.

We have travelled Il few miles in our
lifetime, and know what it is to be I'M
comfortably housed in Il poorly uphOlSter-
ed car and rudely tossed up and down on
old iron rails that are laid on dirt road
bed. We have been there; but it was al
ways on some other roads than the San
tn Fee. Their main line between Denver
and Chicago is hard to beat. The rails
are of heavy steel, the track rock ballast
ed; and the through ''Cannonbalr' train
that lies at 80 miles-per-hOur speed
over this elegant roadway is rs pretty IA
bit of workmanship as Messrs. Pullman
ever turned out. Each vestibule sleep
er is model of luxury, and as easy as a
cradle. Chair cars, library cars and day
coaches are all carefully adapted to the

interesting and happy time. The best
of all, though. was playing with the
dogs. of which there were three, a
mother and two half-grown pups. ell
thoroughbred bull-terriers.
The boy enjoyed these SO much,
and was so fascinated with their
playfulness and intelligence, and
Mr.. Chapman took such fancy
to him that he told Bert and
Sue they might make their new
friend a present Of one of the pups ii
they wished.
As Arthur had never owned real live
net in his life, this seemed a most gen.
erous offer, and he thanked the Chap
mans warmly. They gave him his
choice of the two pups, and each showed
SO many good points that it was long
time before he could make up his mind
which to take. At length he chose one
that was brindled and had a = Rite tip to
MS tail. lis name was ''Russet," but
IS the little Chapmans called him
"Rustv.'' Arthur decided that he would
GALL him SO too.
He carried the pup in his arms down
to the boat. but all the way it cried
piteously 1T being taken from its home,
and struggled hard to get free. Arthur
made a he'd for it at the foot OF his own
bunk and tried to feed it. but the pup
refused to accept his kindness. and only
cried and whined and begged 10 be let
out at one OF the closed doors. Finally
even good-natured Uncle Phin lost his
patience. and said the pup needed a good
whipping to make him keep quiet.

He LOST HIS BALANCE; TOPPLED OVER
with complete success, though its re-
suit was not exactly what he had antici-
pated.
To be sure. as Arthur flung himself
upon one end of the long pole, the old
man astride the bit of plank fastened to
its other end was lifted into the air. 1t
was, however. so suddenly and unex-
pectedly that he lost his balance, top
pied over and again disappeared. head
foremost, beneath the water. At the
same time the boy, at the inner end OF
the see-saw. was bumped down on the
cabin roof. Then Uncle Phin's end
again descended into the water. just in
time for the old man to grasp it as he
came to the surface.
With great difficulty he struggled into
his former position, and, turning re-
proachful gaze on Arthur, said:
Don't you do it agin, honey. Use no
doubt you means ali right, but anodder
fling like dat ar would drown de ole
man, shuah."
i.l didn't mean to, Uncle Phin! In

Arthur quickly did as directed. and
in a few minutes more had the satisfac-
ton of seeing his dear old friend res
cued from his perilous position, and
seated safely on the deck. As the
water-soaked man sat there. recovering
from his exhaustion, and grateful for
the warmth of the hot morning sun. he
shook his head and said:

resky bizness, an dat dem what goes
down into de sea in ships sees wonder
full tings; but I never spected ole
Phin Dale ebber sperience it all fer his

After his strength was somewhat
restored, Uncle Phin instructed
Arthur to keep sharp lookout fol
any more bridges, and went into the
cabin to light a fire and prepare break

Suddenly there fell binding. o.z-

an awful burst of thunder as shock the
solid earth. The next instant the whole
sky was lighted by vast column Of
flame that seemed to spring from the
hillside directly above the place where
the ark lay uoored. One Of the great
oil tanks had been struck by the light

flame shot up fifty feet into the ali

whole storm-swept country for miles

boy chung closer to the old man. as he
gazed upon it with an eager fascination.
They could not at first understand the
deep, booming sounds that they began
to hear above the roar of the storm soon
after the fire broke out, and which were
repeated at regular intervals of a few
minutes each. Then Arthur remem-
bered what Brace Barlow had told him
about firing cannon balls into burning
oil tanks. that the oil might run out
| through the holes thus made,
and the danger of an explosion be
lessened. Mr.. Chapman was shooting a,
this tank with a small cannon that he
kept on hand for just such an'emergen-
| cy.
All at once the contents of the tank
seemed to boil over. A huge fountain
of blazing oil burst up from it and
poured down its sides. The oil running
| from the shot holes near base took
fire, and, i'll another instant, fierce
torrent of flame came rushing down the
slope, directly toward the little house
boat moored at its foot.
Poor Unch Phin dropped on his knees

dearly to keep him if he wanted to stay,

True to this resolve. the tender
hearted little fellow did carry poor
Rusty back, up the hill. and was
made even happier by witnessing the
extravaganza joy of the pup and the
mother dog at once more seeing each
other, than he had been by receiving
the Chapmans' gift.

taking a lantern with them. for it was
growing dark, they started down the
slope, at the bottom of which they met
Uncle Phin, just coming to look for his
.slil marse," at whose long absence he
had grown anxious.
Mr.. Chapman, who was much inter-
ested in this voyage of the old negro
and his little master, had brought down
a small lamp and gallon of oil for it,
as present to them: for Arthur had
told him that they had no light on
board. Mrs. Chapman brought loaf OF
bread. Bert brought half dozen eggs
laid by his own hen, and little Sue, who
could think of nothing else, brought a
bunch of flowers from her own garden.
They had very merry time on the pre-
sentation of these gifts, for each of which
Uncle Phin returned thanks In his own
funny, earnest, way.
When Arthur said he wished he had
something to give in return, fog them to
remember him by, Mrs. Chapman said
that if he would only read to them one
of the stories out of his fairy book, that
the children had told her of, it would
be one of the most acceptable presents
he could make them. This the boy was
willing enough to do, and when the new
lamp was lighted and placed on the
packing box that served as table, and
they had all found seats, he read to then
the story of Little Klaus" who made
bushels of money by every thing that he
undertook.
When he finished they all thanked
him, and Bert said if he had bushel
of money he would buy pony. Little

CHAPTER v.
UNCLE PHINS DANGER

UNCLE PHIN's DANGER
For moment poor Arthur, who knew
nothing of boats, and had never been on
one before. unless it was a New York
ferry boat, stood lrresOlute and fright
ened without the slightest idea of what
had happened or what he ought to do.
The cry that he heard had not sounded
q bit like Uncle Phin's voice. and ii Il
was his, what had become of him? He
was not on the boat, nor, so far as Ar
thur could discover. was he in the water
Upon seeing the bridge overhead the
boy readily comprehended that the
shock that had flung him to the floor
was caused by the boat drifting against
one of its great stone piers: but this did
not explain Uncle Phin's disappearance.
In his fear and distress of mind he be-
gan to call wildly: Uncle Phin! Oh
dear Uncle Phia! where are your
"Hyar is. honey" came a feeble voice
from the other end of tho boat. and Ar
thur sprang joyfully in that direction.
As the boat had swung around on
striking the bridge pier, its after end
now pointed down stream. and Arthur
had been standing at the bow. gazing
back on the place where he was afraid
Uncle Phin had been left. Now, as he
reached the other end of the boat, he
saw the old mans white head and black
face, Just on the surface of the water
but short distance from where he
stood. He seemed to be sitting astride
of some object. to which he chung des-
perately. Every now and then it would
sink, and poor Uncle Phin would disap-
pear completely. only to reappear mo-
ment later, sputtering. choking and
exhibiting every sign of the utmost ter
ror.
For moment Arthur did not in the
least comprehend the situation, and
could not imagine what it was to which
Uncle Phin was clinging. When it sud
denly occurred to him that it was the
long steering sweep. the other end OF
which projected above his head up
over the roof of the cabin, his
first impulse. and the one on
which he acted. was to spring
to this inboard end. and throw his
weight upon it, with the idea of lifting
the old negro clear of the water. AS the
steering sweep was a very nicely bal
anced see-saw, and as Uncle Phin's body
in the water. weighed less than Arthur
out of it. the boys effort was crowned
