Yes" so his uncle bought him some
fruit and candy. He kept eating this
until they arrived at Jacksonville. At
that place they took a cab that hurried
them down to the quay. where they
boarded a steamer just ready to start
for New York. -
It was an interesting sight to see the
people working busiiy about the wharf.
getting the vessel ready for sailing.
Berthe was delighted with it all. The
captain seemed wonderful man. for
every one on board did exactly what
he said. BERTHE wondered how he had
acquired his remarkable ascendancy
over people. When he asked hts uncle
about it and Mr.. Hartman only laugh
ed and said, He puts them in irons If
they don't mind" BERTHE was more
than ever an admirer of the captain.
In his pirate book at home he had read
how Captain Kidd and the other daring
seamen used to settle all objections to
their wills by clapping any one who
differed from them into irons. BERTHE
thought this was a fine way to end an
argument ard decided that when he
grew up he would be a sea captain.
With a rafting of chains and creak.
ing of ropes, the vessel swung out into
the stream. The crowd on the wharf
yelled its farewell, and BERTHE felt that
he had really started on his journey.
He had meant to cultivate the ac-
quaintance of the wonderful captain.
but presently, as he stood looking at
the receding land, he began to feel
queer Uncle Belam was talking to an
acquaintance he had met on board and
was not at the time with his nephew.
He could taste. all the bananas, and or
anges. and .caramels, and chocolate
creams, and peaches. and ginger cook
les, and sandwiches, and licorice he
had eaten on tie train. They didn't
taste good either and he wished he had
not tried SO many different kinds Next
he put his head over the rail and didn't
think very much Of anything One of

1t Is said that truthfuIness means
nothing to a Chinaman; that he has no
moral law which enjoins veracity. With
this I'm mind l once asked my friend
Johnny Reed If any of his known an

He replied in the negative. but I did
not believe him; in fact il is foolish to
believe anything that he says.
l have spoken of him as my friend.
That means merely that we were to-

wholly in his imagination and my

that the mere fact Of his not loving a

her that he did.
He displaced my friend, Horace Tay-
br, in the affections of a most estima-
bic young woman. Miss Gertrude Ware.
and l am convinced he did II by the
simple process of telling her that he
was the greatest and best man alive
and making her believe IL.
l don't know that Miss Ware was
'Ver really in love with Taylor. but l
am sure she would have been. and
nothing better could have happened to
her. for Horace is one man in fen

Miss Wares hobby. and she often ex-

BERTHE and
UnCIeBefdn1

BERTHE Hunt was going to New York.
Every little boy in his little Florida
town knew that BERTHE was going, and
they were all at the station to say
goodby. He was to accompany his
Uncle Belam Hartman, his guardian,
who was going north on business. As
a companion he had offered to take his
12-year-old nephew BERTHE, an offer that
you may be sure was eagerly accepted
by BERTHE and a little more reluctantly
by his mother, who was not quite sure
whether she could get along without
her boy.
Finally consent was given, and man.
ma and grandma and the sewing wo-
man set to work to make BERTHE lot
Of nice waists to wear, Snd his Uncle
Belam took him to the tailor's, where
he got two nice suits of new clothes
one sailor suit, with large collars and
a lot of braid in handsome patterns.
1t seemed to the little boy that the
day never would come, but at last his
trunk was packed and strapped and
ready to be put upon the cart for Sam
TO drive to the station. OF course Ber-
tie did not get chance to take one
tenth of the things along that he
thought he ought To have There were
his bat and ball the tennis racket. hts
magic lantern, his Kites, books and at.
beast a hundred other personal and
priced belongings. If they had taken
everything BERTHE thought absolutely
necessary, several wagons would have
been needed to convey the luggage.
When they reached the platform,
they found all Bertie's little friends

himself In an easy chair.
The next evening. when dropped

a quart bottle OF champagne in a cooler
beside him. Such indulgence was en-
