Admiral Schiey has always been q

read by her. She smiled one day and
said to the writer: This experience

bank, | heard voice near me saying:
"Will you kindly cash this check and

standing by me, smiling as he handed a

After the admiral received cash for
his check, told him that an old school

years ago the admiral had said that

for. AT last he asked Aarons advice.

piled.
Fountain or Johnny Bapter can take one
of the carriage horses" Buster John sug
gested. Aaron nodded his head, and the
youngster made up his mind to go with the
hunters, unless everybody in the house shut
their ears to his pleadings.
Now, Sweetest Susan, who knew that she
could not go in any event, was very anxious
for her brother to see the hunt, and If her
reason was partly selfish one, it was no
different in that respect from the reasons
of great many grown persons. She wanted
to hear all about the chase, and she knew
that Buster John could tell her about 1t
better than anyone else. This was the
selfish part, On the other hand, she also
wanted Buster John to go because his desire
and he getting quite old enough in
Sweetest Susans opinion. to share in some
of the amusements of his elders. True, fox
hunting is rough sport when 1t is carried
out with energy, but Buster John didn't
have to break his neck riding across bitches
and gulles, and jumping fences. He could
ride behind Fountain or Johnny Bapter, or
on one of the fat and sober carriage horses.
Sweetest Susan had heard her grandfather
say many times that with good dogs,
and hot drag, fox hunter needn't
ride very far nor very fast to see pretty
much all that was to be seen of a fox hunt
She didn't remember just these words, but
she knew what her grandfather meant, for
he himself was among those who had ceased
to be ambitious to tail the fox" and was
content to canter from one position to an
other, so as to be able to see the most
exciting events in fox chase.
So the youngsters, as children will, put
their heads together and laid the plan of a
campaign, and it was very cunning one
