school. Mr.. Chapman said it would
be very nice to have bushel of money
and fine house; but that they should
be very thankful for the one they had,
especially when such storm was COM
ing up. as was about to burst over them
at that moment.
Sure enough it was laundering, and
the guests Of the evening had not been
gone from the ark many minutes, before
great drops of rain began to fall Nearer
and nearer swept the storm, and
blacker and blacker grew the night, I'M
til the awful glare of the lightning
was almost continuous, and the crash of
the thunder was deafening. Silently,
hand in hand, the two occupants Of tkc
honse-boat sat and watched it
Suddenly there fell a binding, dag
cling ball of fire. accompanied by such
an awful burst of thunder as shook the
solid earth. The next instant the whole
sky was lighted by a vast column OF
flame that seemed to spring from the
hillside directly above the place where

the ark lay moored. One of the great
oil tanks had been struck by the light
ming, and now raging, roaring mass OF
flame shot up fifty feet into the air
above it, lighting the river and the
whole storm-swept country for miles
around, with its fierce, lurid glare. 1t
was grand, bat fearful sight, and the
COY 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 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 at
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 1t and
poured down its sides. The oil running
from the shot holes near its base took
fire, and, in another instant, fierce
torrent of flame came rushing down the
slope, directly toward the little house
boat moored at its foot.
Poor Uncle Phin dropped on his knees
in an agony of fear, crying: "Oh, Lawd!
Oh, de good Lawd. hab mussy on us an
deliber us frum de fiery funness," while
to Arthur it seemed as though they were
in most imminent peril.

"Rustv.v Arthur decided that he would
call him so too.
He carried the pup in his arms down
to the boat. but all the way it cried
piteously at being taken from its home,
and struggled hard to get free. Arthur
made bed 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 TO be let
co. at one of the closed doors. Finally
even good natured Uncle Phin lost his
patience, and said the pup needed good
whipping to mako him keep quiet.

True to this resolve, the tender
hearted little fellow did carry poor
ssRusty' back, up the hill, and was
made even happier by witnessing the
extravagant joy of the pup and the
mother dog at once more seeing each
other, than he had been by receiving
the Chapmans' gift.
They made him stay to supper, after
which the whole family said they would
escort him down to the boat. of which
Bert and Sue had talked so much. that
their parents were curious to see it. so,
taking lantern with them, for it was
growing dark, :hey started down the
slope. at the bottom OF which they met
Uncle Phin, just coming to look for his
ell 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
q small lamp and gallon Of oil for it,
as a present to them; for Arthur had
told him that they had no light on
board. Mrs Chapman brought a loaf OF
bread. Bert brought half a dozen eggs
laid by his own hen, and little Sue, who
could think Of nothing else, brought
bunch of flowers from her own garden.
They had a 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, for them 70
remember him by, Mrs Chapman said
that if he would only read to them one
OF the stories out of bis fairy book, that
the children had told her of, it would
be one of the most acceptable presents
be 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 a table, and
they had all found seats, he read to them
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 il he had bushel
of money he would buy pony. Little
Sue said she would get a great big doll,
as big as live baby, that would talk;

Little Prince Dusty

The new conner at once opened CONVEX
sation by saying; ''How do you do? l
am very glad to see you, because haven't
very many friends. My name is Arthur
Dale Dustin. What is yours?"
The boy said his was Bert and his sis
ter's was Sue, and that both their names
were Chapman. He added that their
father was engineer of the pumping sta
ton, and that nobody else lived any
where near there.
Within five minutes they were
thoroughly well acquainted, and were
all busily picking the luscious ber-
ries that abounded in that vicinity.
Arthur said it reminded him of a fairy
story, and little Sue Chapman said she
loved fairy tales, only she had not heard
very many. So Arthur began to tell
them the story of the Mermaid" which
was one that he had read to Cynthia;
but he could not remember it very well,
and said if they would go down with
him TO where he lived, he would read it
to them out of his book.
They readily agreed to this, and were
so perfected delighted with the little
house-boat and all that they saw on it.
that it was some time before they were
ready to listen to the story of the mer-
maid. When it was finished they said
they must go home now; but invited
Arthur to come up to the house and see
them after dinner.
That afternoon he met Mr.. Chapman
and Mrs. Chapman, and saw the great
pumping-engine at work, and was al
lowed to climb up and look into one of
the huge tanks that held thousands of
barrels of oil, and had altogether most
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, all
thoroughbred bull-terriers.
The boy enjoyed these so much.
and was so fascinated with their
playfulness and intelligence, and
Mr.. Chapman took such a fancy
to him that he told Bert and
Sue they might make their new
friend present of one of the pups il
they wished.
As Arthur had never owned real live
pet in his life, this seemed a most gem
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 a long
time before he could make up his mind
which to take. At length he chose one

afraid Of? 1t was not likely that any
body would hurt little boy like him.
So Uncle Phin left him, and, wading
ashore, disappeared down the forest
road.
For some time the boy amused him
self about the boat; but his resources
were few, and after an hour or so he
grew lonely, and began to watch anx-
iously for Uncle Phin's return. Ex-
posed to the full glare of the afternoon
sun, the boat became as hot as an oven:
and finally the boy decided to take his
book and wade ashore. There he would
find comfortable place in the cool
shade of the trees, from which he might
the sooner perceive anybody approach
ing along the road.
He found just such place as he had
longed for; a deliciously cool. shady
glade, surrounded by spreading oak trees.
and commanding a limited view Of
the road. After sitting here for
some time. he discovered that there
were ripe berries on the opposite side
OF the glade When he had gathered
and eaten these he saw more berries
beyond them, and still more at a greater
distance. There he found some lovely
flowers, and thought it would be a fine
idea TO gather enough Of them to dec
