WAL. waal! exclaimed Uncle Jim
when all was over. II never would have
believed it. Why. I had made up my
mind that the boy didn't know enough to
peel turnips.'
The constable who made the arrest
differed with him He contended that
Joe must have "a head on him." and he
expressed his willingness to take the boy
and give him show. When he looked
over the moving machine under the shed
and learned what the boy had done. no
said TO the farmer:
THAT boy is n born mechanic, and
would always be stupid about farm work.
I'll get him apprenticed to a machinist.
You've found him overquiet and absent
minded. but I'll bet he has heaps of
thoughts in his head"
The tramp boy left the farm for a ma

the work of FIVE or six men in the feid?
He did. He also improved the tanning
mill and invented many iabor-saving de-
vices. He lived 10 acquire both fame and
riches and died respected by all What
the farmer called stupidity was simply a
busy mind--busy with wheels and cogs
and levers and possible inventions. Aunt
Mary had said he was sulky because he
was quiet. They didn't understand his
mind. But for the old bear trap and the
robber the tramp boy might not have
been understood by anybody, and the
world have lost one of its greatest in
ventors. j. h. l..

the corner of the kitchen, climb up on the
rain barrel. and then he can draw himself
upon the roof. Those windows up there
are never fastened. Now. then, II l should
set this trap"
He turned and shouldered the trap and
carried II up to- the house. 1t was only
about ten feet from the kitchen door 10 the
rain barrel under the spout. and Aunt
Mary had use for rain water at least once
a day The chances that she would step
into that bear trap instead of a r0bber
were a thousand to one. but the boy never
inquired on that. He went ahead and set
the trap Just where he thought stranger
would step into II, and when II was ready
for q victim he went back to tho barnyard
and busted himself with the moving ma
chine. Before night he had taken every
thing apart and put It together again
twice over.

ed him a faded old carpetbag. She had
cut down a vest and a pair Of pantaloons
for him and had put in an old shirt and
a luncheon. She felt a bit sorry for the
boy, but she expressed no sympathy
Uncle Jim beckoned him out of doors and
gave him fifty cents and told him to be a
good boy, and Joe thanked him and went
of to bed in the garnet or the woodshed.
He shed no tears over the loss of his
place. He had been kicked about too

The query was soon answered. At the
corner OF the kitchen, with his legs fast
In the bear trap and his hands clutching
the rain barrel, was strange man. His
looks and his language also proved him
to be an evil one. For I'VE minutes he
cursed so loud and so fast that Uncle
Jim couldn't get In word. when he
was finally asked who he WAS and the
business which had brought him there,
he drew pistol and threatened to shoot
unless released from the trap. Shoot he
did but his bullets went wide and he
