The sun was just rising as he made

The same thing happens in the country,
where the thrifty farmer routs them out
from the barn or haystacks, and hun

what set this particular camp astir by

Its equability is constant and its climate

sentiment meets with no approval from

Personal Note BY Editor.

We have travelled a6ec'miles in our
lifetime, and know what it is to be un-
comfortably housed in a poorly uphOlster-
ed car and rudely tossed up and down on
old iron rails that are laidson dirt road

and Chicago is hard to beat. The rails
are of heavy steel, thetrack rock ballast

that flies at a 59-miles- per-hour speed
over this elegant roadway is as pretty a
bit of workmanship as Messrs. Pullman
ever turned out. Each vestibale sleep

When breakfast was finished Uncle
Phin and Arthur sat on the cabin roof,
under bit of an awning that the form
er had conrrived, and talked of their re-
cent experience, while watching, with
the delight of simple natures, the ex-
quisitely beautiful scenery through
which they were drifting. Between
them. apparently approaching it all as
much as they, sat Rusty contentedly
wagging his tail. the little white tip Of
which seemed the emblem of perpetual
motion. He had evidently transferred
all his affection to Arthur, and the ex-
preston of his honest eyes as he turned
them upon his young master was of love
and perfect confidence.
This day was but the first Of many
such. during which the ark. with fire.
quent stops, drifted down the quiet riv-
er, ever southwark, and. as its occupants
fondly hoped, ever getting nearer to the
far away home that they sought. They
always tied up to the bank at nighs, and
every now and then they spent several
days in place, while Uncle Phin sought
odd jobs of work by which he might
earn little money for the replenishing
of their stock of provisions.
At length during one of these stops
their dream of continuing to their jour
ney's end in the ark was rudely dispelled
by man for whom Uncle Phin did
job of work.
Get to Richmond or anywhere near
there in that craft and by following this
river-' he exclaimed with loud laugh,
when the old negro had explained their
plans. why. if you keep on. this

won't ever make Richmond. Oh no,
what you've got to do. is to sell your
boat when you reach Pittsburgh, for
money enough to carry you in the cars
to Richmond. and i don't reckon you'll
have any trouble in finding a customer
if you don't set too high price on the
old craft
Further inquiry assured them that
the mans words were only too true, and
so, when, few days later. they reached
the smoky city, they realized that their
pleasant voyaging was over, and that
new trials were awaiting them.

little old house-boat appeared to the
boy who had been lost in the woods
and spent the night in tramp's camp,
and to the old man who had passed the
long hours in wandering up and down
the lonely road searching for his lost
one. What comforts it contained, and
with what a delightfully."- easy motion it
glided down the sunlit river. Even
Rusty seemed to feel that he was at
home, and to recognize the place; for
the moment he was taken into the cabin
he sprang up on Arthurs bunk and
nestled down at its foot, where the boy
had prepared bed for him two days
before.
While Uncle Phin was getting ready
the breakfast for which they were all
so hungry. Arthur and Rusty, who had
fully recovered his spirits. had fine

In the present instance. surrounded

men who acknowledged no law but that
of brute force, and with poor little Rusty
crouching at his feet, SO certain was the
boy of his duty that he prepared for the
coming struggle with brave heart.

The boy called kid was perfectly

as in this case, he saw the prospect Of
an easy victory before him. So, as he

too, and now he's got the chance to

keeps gun for tramps," and still an
other, ''only women folks here, no dan
ger" He also said that the older and
best-known tramps had their private
marks or autographs. which were very
generally known and recognized by all
the others along their particular lines
of travel.
Arthur was greatly interested in this
and made copies of several of the marks
thus shown him, SO as to impress them
upon his memory, though at that time
he could not foresee that they would ever
be of any use. At the close of this
novel lesson the big tramp told him that
his name was Sandy Grimes, and showed
him his own private mark or autograph.
which was z.
Then Arthur said he was tired and
would like to go to sleep, whereupon
Sandy Grimes showed him {. bed of dry
leaves beside big log, near enough to
the fire to feel its warmth, and told him
he could lie down there. So there the
tired boy lay, with little Rusty nestled
close beside him, and watched the stars
twinkling until he fell asleep.
Although on this occasion Arthur
breathed great quantities Of the night

to be poison, its injurious effects were
not apparent when he awoke the next

minded of it. However, five of them,
including the big tramp and his boy,
said they were going that way anyhow,
and didn't mind giving the youngster a
lift with his scowif itdidn't take too long
and prove too hard work. So, in :. lew
minutes after leaving his bed by the old
log, Arthur found himself walking down
the ravine toward the river in company
with five as disreputable and rascally-
looking tramps as could be found in the
country.
He had not forgotten poor little
Rusty. Oh no, indeed! Nor had the
dog forgotten him. but now followed
close at his heels without paying the
slightest attention to any other person
in the party. He had been stolen by
the kid" from the Chapmans' house
during the excitement caused by the
burning oil tank, and had evidently suf-
fered much at the hands of his captor;
for never after that day did he see q
tramp without growing and showing
his teeth at him.
The tramps' camp was located but q
few hundred yards from the road that
ran along the river bank, and the little
party had hardly turned into it before
Arthur, with cry of Joy, sprang for
ward and flung himself into the arms of
Uncle Phin, who, looking the picture of
misery and utter detection. was hob
bling toward them.
The old man was 50 overcome by JOY
and bewilderment that for a few
moments he was utterly speeches..
Then he broke out with: Tank
de good Lawd, honey. | is foun'
you! Ole Phin die OBJ de heart-broke
shuah if he didn' fine you pretty
quick, an he's bin sarchin'
TO- you all de night long"
This was said with such d heartfelt
earnestness that the boy realized in
moment how greatly his old friend had
suffered.
Although Uncle Phin had found
several houses during his absence of the
afternoon before, none of their inmates
had been willing to return and help
him get the ark atloat. He had not got
back to it until after sunset, and then,
to his dismay, had found it dark and
deserted.
Too greatly distressed to eat or sleep,
he had spent the night in wandering up
and down the road. hunting and calling
for his dear ''lil Marse;" and now, that
he had found him, his Joy was almost
too great for expression.
1t was but short distance to where
the ark lay, aground, and it was but a
few minutes job for those sturdy tramps
to work her off the sand bar, and set her
once more afloat.
The last thing Arthur did before
scram bling aboard was to shake hands
with the boy whom nc had fought the
evening before, and, as he babe him
goodbye. he said: II hope you won't be
an ugly duckling much longer"
Then. with its three passengers safely
aboard, the ark slowly drifted away
with the current. while the tramps
watched it, and waved their tattered
hats in farewell to the bravest twelve
year-old boy they mad ever known.

ARrHUR's FIGHT TO SAVE RUSTY.

ARTHUR's FIGHT TO SAVE RUSTY.
In all his life Arthur had never be-
fore found it necessary to fight, though
he had certainly received provocation
enough from his cousin Dick to do so
more than once. His own father had
taught him to haste fighting. and to
avoid it if possible, as he would any
thing else that Was slngentlemanly and
wrong. At the same time Mr.. Dustin
had been too wise man not to know
that occasions may arise in everybody's
life when it becomes absolutely neces-
sary to Sight. He believed, for instance,
that it is right and proper to do so in
defense Of the weak and helpless who
have claims upon US for protection,
provided that is the only way of defend
ing them, and this principle he had
thoroughly instilled into his child's
mind.
Mr.. Dustin also believed that every
boy should betaught to use the weapons
with which nature has provided him
namely his fists-for the protection of
himself and others, just as he should be
taught to read and write or do q thou
sand other things necessary TO his sue
cess and happiness in life.
Thus believing. and having been
himself one of the best boxers in his
college gymnasium, he had begun to in
struct his little son in the art of self-de-
Tense on the very day that the boys moth
er began to teach him his letters. Now,
therefore, although Arthur had never
fought battle with any other boy, he
had very fair knowledge of what he
ought to do under the circumstances and
OF how to do it.
All his fathers talks upon the subject
flashed into his mind. and Re seemed to
