and We're speeding homeward.

replied Mr.. Bulge, with an odd smile.
Il put you in charge before you left
home, and"
And you knew where we were all
the timer" interrupted Frank.
Why, yes; of course"
How ridiculous it seems, doesn't it,
Harry exclaimed Frank. "Well,
this experience has cured me of all de-
sire for running away. In fact, / was
sick of my bargain before l got fairly
started, but l was ashamed to own up
after | had coaxed Harry into it.
don't want you to blame him, father;
1t was all my fault, every bit of it."
Tut, tut, my son; that's all set
| tied" said Franks father, kindly. Il
don't blame either of you You have
learned your lesson, and if it does you
any good | am satisfied. Now let us
turn over a new leaf and forever hide
the old page with the happenings OF
the past few days written on it. Come,
boys, are you agreed?"
YES" responded Frank and Harry
together, and the runaway episode was
never referred to again by any member
Of the family.
But, although the matter was drop
ped by their parents, their brief but
bitter experience as runaways was
never forgotten by either Frank or
Harry, and it taught them a valuable
lesson which bore good fruit through
all their after lives.

And then, with grim smile, he
placed the telegram in his pocket and
went On with his daily business routine
as if nothing had happened
In the meantime, Frank and Harry
were being rapidly whirled on an ex-
press train along the Hudson river to-
ward Poughkeepsie, for which place
they had purchased tickets.
When they left home they had cash
capital of $40. They had expended 81
for travelling bag, three more for a
cheap pistol and box of cartridges,
and the purchase of few other neces-
saries Gas they considered them) for
a trip Of that kind had reduced this
sum to trifle less than SIS. Their
railroad tickets cost them So, SO when
they arrived at Poughkeepsie the two
lads had barely So left. This was not
very extravagant amount to carry
them through the rest of their pro-
jected trip, but Frank was full OF re-
courceS.
From here on" he announced, at
ter counting up their remaining cash,
we've got to work our way. Well

buy what we want to eat between
here and Chicago"
Chicago? 1 thought you said CAL

all. Let's go right back home" said
Harry.

Comparatively

Mr.. Phineas Bulge sat drumming on
table In the library Of his substan-
tial and comfortable home on Brooklyn
Heights. He was stoutly built gen.
tleman Of medium height, wit merry
twinkle in his eyes, and frank and
engaging expression Of countenance.
just at that moment, however, there
was a vague look of anxiety or expec-
fancy on his face, which his naturally
contented, happy go-lucky disposition
could not wholly conceal.
Presently the door bell rang and a
servant appeared and handed Mr..
Bulge card inscribed:
''Mr. Christopher Waggles, detect
ive.''
.'Show the gentleman in at once, =
commanded Mr. Bulge, and moment
later a dapper, gray-haired, shrewd-
looking gentleman stepped briskly into
the room.
''Mr. Waggles, 1 believer" remarked
Mr.. Bulge interrogatively.
'Waggley, sir; Christopher Wagg-
ley, detective, at your service, sir, cor
rected the dapper, gray-haire6 gentle
man.
Mr.. Bulge glanced at the card again
and said:
beg pardon, Mr.. Waggley is that
your real name or "a disgnise?"
"Real name, sir, only shortened. My
folks named me Christopher Columbus
Waggley, but never could see any use
for the Columbus, so dropped it,
GAIL right, Mr.. ~Waggley, now that
point is settled, we will proceed to bus

aged detective, and l see you answer

you had been measured for it."

Frank didn't fancy the tone In which
the man spoke. but concluded it was
best to accept the offer, and soon he
and Harry were bowling merrily along
towards Albany, snugly ensconced in
the caboose of the freight train with
the thick-set conductor and surly-
looking brakeman.
The merry part OF the business soon
ended, however, and the hard work
began, for Frank and Harry were COM
PEELED to twist brakes and assist IN
switching off cars or unloading heavy
packages of freight at each station as
they went along; and the sour-looking
brakeman seemed to take special de-
light in putting them through the
MILL" as he termed it.

Harry, aged IA and II respectively
who are beginning to show symptoms
OF a desire to break loose from the
restraints Of school and parents and
run away from home"
Exactly, and you want me to keen
an eye on them and see that they don't
get away
80, no, Mr. Wag-'
"Waggley," suggested the detective
Mr.. Waggley, you misunderstood
my intentions. Let them run away il
they want to. Wouldn't have them
stopped for the world"
For once in his life CHRISTOPHER Wag,
giey, detective, was nonplussed.
III you don't want to keep them
from running away, why did you send
Tor me? Can't they run away fast
enough without the aid of detective?'
he asked
Possibly; but I think it would be
better to have them chaperoned by a
reliable, discreet, middle-aged detec-
tive. Understand"
well, no, | can't say I do, exactly -
replied Waggley, with a puzzled look.
"This is different from any case have
ever had, but if you will give me your
instructions | will endeavor to carry
them OUT
well, then, from what | have learn
ed in the past few days l have reason
to believe that my two sons, although
treated with indulgence and well taken
care of at home, are on the point of
starting out in quest OF the supposed
fun and freedom that await them in
the outside world. | know about how
they feel l was troubled in the same
way often when l was boy, but a
brief and inglorious runaway taught
me a lesson that has been of the great
est service to me ever since; and I
am anxious, now that the fever of adj
venture is upon them, that my sons
should learn the same valuable les,
son.
Now, what I want of you is IS
keep an eye on their movements, anG
when they start you are to go, too,
keeping track of them in their travels,
and reporting briefly to me daily by
wire. Of course, you are not to put
yourself in their way, or allow them 10
suspect that they are being watched
nor are you to aid them or interfera
with their movements in any manner,
except upon instructions from me in
reply to your dispatches"
All right, Mr.. Bulge; l understand
exactly what you want now. 1t is a
novel case, sir, but think christopher
Waggley is equal to the emergency"
L hope SO, Mr.. Waggley; and now
perhaps you had better go, as l expect
Frank and Harry home from school
soon. They are bright, wide-awake
healthy lads, as you will notice if you
are IN sight when they come in"
Hint accepted with thanks" gravely
remarked the gray-haired detective
bowling himself from the room.

us back home. l move that we get
something to eat and then go for a
walk. We've got to spend the time in
some way till night, and then we'll try
to get a free ride on a freight train to
Albany"
Harry was hungry and he didn't wait
for second invitation. So in the din
ing room they went. and twenty min
utes later when they came out, the first
thing that Frank said was:
"Whew! What a high priced place!
Sixty cents gone at lick and nothing
to show for it,
'.Got about as much to show for it as
we have for the rest of the money we've
spent, haven't WEI" asked Harry, with a
tinge of sarcasm in his tones.
We'll, feel better, anyhow, and we'-
We got a dollar and forty cents left to
last us the rest of the trip" said Frank,
carelessly, as they passed out through
the waiting room to the street.
Shortly alter the two boys left the sta
ton a dapper, grayhaired gentleman,
who had been sitting on bench, eppar-
entity paying no attention to anything
except his newspaper, stepped to the
telegraph window and dashed off the
following message:
Poughkeepsie, -.
"Mr Phineas Bulge, Brooklyn, n. Y:
Parties here. Dollar forty left. Have
to rough it unless you instruct me to in
terfere. "WAGGLEY."
When Mr.. Bulge received this dis
patch he rubbed his hands together and
chuckled:
''Have to rough it, Ell? That's right:
do 'em good, Waggling is too soft
hearted for detective entirely"
III.
Soon after dark Frank and Harry re-
turned to the station, and, watching
their chance, sneaked through the gate
and started up the track toward a
freight train that was being made up.
They had not proceeded far when they
were challenged by the yard Waterman.
Here, young fellows, where are you
goin'?' he demanded.
albany" answered Frank, boldly
''Not on this road yau amt, unless
you go inside first and buy tickets!
Then you've got to wait for a passen-
ger train; you can't go on a freight"
announced the watchman, authorita-
lively.
Guess that's the man who owns the
road; we'd better get out" said Frank
II think you'd better, and in hurry,
too," and the watchman advanced,
threatingly swinging his heavy club.
whats the matter here, Terry"
sung out a thick, short-set man, who
at that moment came along swinging
lantern.
Couple of lads want to beat their
way to Albany. They were trying to
sneak up the track to get on freight. :"
We'll, let them come along if they
want to. Tn short a brakeman. One
of my men has gone home sick, and
there's no time to hunt up another;

THE Legislature Of this stats is do-noth-
ing body; but IL has pcnchant for i'm
vesHgations. During the latter part Of each
week the members spread themselves out all
over the state, at all points of the compass,
Investigating one thing or another. This
mania has developed to such an extent that
a committee is now engaged in investigating
the members themselves In the meantime
no laws Of any importance have passed, and
many that should reach the Governor will
probably never be acted upon for want Of
sufficient time during the closing hours Of the
session Truly, the present Legislature is
slower than any that have preceded IL. There
are any number of bills that should be en-
acted and placed upon the statute books,
notably the reform measures iudorsed by the
Republican state convention and embodied
in the party platform. These measures have
been attacked by a number of the party
leaders i'm the House, but information from
Harrisburg is to the effect that they will pass
though not as originally introduced The
party pledges must I've kept, and the Lcgisa-
ture should act accordingly without any
further needless delay.
