much as anybody; but when it comes to
starving. that's quite another thing. 1t
shall never be said that my brother Rich
ards only son was starved in his uncle's
house. So give the boy his supper and
plenty of it. Then you can send him to
bed if you see fit"
Mrs. Dustin knew that when her hus-
band spoke in this tone he meant to be
obeyed; SO, without word, she set a
plain but bountiful meal before Arthur.
From boys experience of bread and wa
ter punishments, and supperless nights
he was wise enough TO eat heartily all
that he possibly could, in spite Of his
heavy heart. He ate in silence. and for
some time nobody else spoke; only
Dick, who sat at the farther end of the
room with the other children, chuckled
and made faces behind Arthur's back
for the benefit, and to the huge delight,
of his companions He was greatly
pleased at the result of his tale-bearing;
for it was he who. overhearing Arthur
tell Cynthia that he had been we'll
shooting with Brace Barlow. had hur-
ried to the house and repeated the in
formation, with some picturesque ad-
ditions of his own devising. to his
mother.

plants to make against him. they must
make them to me. As for Uncle Phin,
II it is true that no beat one of my chii-
drcn. he must leave this place and look
for homo elsewhere. which shall tell
him tomorrow"
Every word of this WAS heard by the
old negro. who was sitting on bench
in the little vinc-covercd porch, close
under an open window of the room in
which Mr.. Dustin stood. The old man,
who had not known of the cruel punish
ment inflicted upon his ill marse.' was
waiting patiently for Arthur to come out
and bring him his supper, as the boy
had done cvery evening since they came
there to live.
Now he said to himself: Oats all

They spent the entire morning In the
construction of very shaky little der
rick, about ten feet high, and now they
were busy drilling a we'll. which they
hoped to put down to depth of at least
two feet When it was finished they
proposed to shoot it by means of a
cannon cracker that they had saved over
from Fourth of July for use on some
such special occasion.
The scheme was we'll planned, and
seemed likely to be carried out, for the

SWELL, don't know why not" was
the reply. "I'm only going out few
miles to shoot well, and if you aren't
afraid of nitro-glycerine guess you can
come"
OF course, Arthur was not afraid. and
would not have acknowledged it even if
he had been. So he clambered into the
wagon beside his friend, and rode away,

At the we'll, which was to have tor

thousand feet underground, to stimulate
its sluggish flow of oil, Arthur eagerly
watched his friends operations. They
two were alone in the derrick, for none
OF the men would have any thing to do
with nitro-glycerine, and SO Brace, who
needed some assistance. was glad to
have that of the bright, careful boy
who SO willingly offered his services.
A long, tin tube. that they had
brought with them, was hung in the
mouth Of the we'll by a stout cord that
ran over pulley above it and down to
