the hospitalities of the hay rack. Two
persons at the table were much relieved
when the talk turned to the tent. It
was young Hiram who brought about
this boon. He was interested in the
tent, and he wanted to know. Two
things seemed to bother the boy. First,
he was anxious to learn what diabolical
cause had been at work to induce two
apparently sane men to give up the
comforts Of home and live in this ex-
posed manner, if they were not COM
PEELED to do SO. Second, he desired to
find out why people who had the privi-
lege of living in large cities came of
their own accord into the uninterestino~
country anyhow. Even after explana-
tions were offered the problem seemed
still beyond him. 1s
After the meal they all adjourned to
the veranda, where the air was cool
and the view extensive. Mrs. Bartlett
would not hear of the young men pitch
ing the tent that night.
Goodness knows, you will have
enough of it, with the rain and the
mosquitoes. We have plenty. of room
here, and you will have one con,forta-
BILE night on the Ridge, at any rate.

able to do the cooking. Come right in
and wash yourselves, for the road be-
tween here and the fort is dusty
enough, even if Hiram never was taken
up for fast driving. Besides, wash is
refreshing after hot day"
There was no denying the cordialitv
OF the invitation, and Yates, whose
natural gallantry was at once aroused,
responded with the readiness of a cour-
tier Mrs. Bartlett led the way into
the house, but as Yates passed the
farmer the latter cleared his throat
with an effort, and throwing his
thumb over his shoulder in the direc-
ton his wife had taken, said, in husky
whisper:

with wink that took in the situation.
"Shall we sample the jug before or
after supper?"
After, if it's all the same to you"
adding, "out in the barn."
Yates nodded and followed his friend
into the house
The young men were shown into q
bedroom of more than ordinary size on
the upper floor. Everything about the
house was Of the most dainty and scru-
pulous cleanliness, and an air of cheer
full comfort pervaded the place. Mrs.
Bartlett was evidently housekeeper
to be proud Of Two large pitchers of
cool soft water awaited them, and the
wash, as had been predicted, was most
refreshing.

cheeky to accept mans hospitality
after knocking him down."

think you underestimate your cheek.

through Canada in this belligerent
manner think it would be worth your
while to take few hints from me-
with striking examples, I suppose.
By Jove, will, Silly"
AS the two came to the house they
found Bartlett sitting in wooden
rocking-chair on the veranda, looking
grimly down the road.
"What an old tyrant that man must
be in his home!' said Yates. There
was no time for the professor to re-
ply before they came within earshot.

piece Of information being apparently
as near as he could get towards invit-

Yates didn't know whether it was
meant for an invitation or not, but he
answered, shortly:
Thanks, we won't stay"
"Speak fur yourself, please" snarled
Bartlett.
''Of course go with my FRIEND" said
Remark; "but we are obliged for the
invitation"

looking woman appeared at the front
door. won't stay? Who won't stay?
I'd like to see anybody leave my house

bic. And, young men, if you can get a
better meal anywhere on the Ridge
than what Ill give you, why, you're
welcome to go there next time, but
this meal you'll have here, inside Of
ten minutes. Hiram, that's your fault.
You always invite person to dinner as
if you wanted to wrastle with him.
Hiram gave guilty start and looked
with something of mute appeal at the
two men, but said nothing.
Never mind him. continued Mrs.
Bartlett. You're at my house; and,
whatever my neighbors may say ag'in'
me, never heard anybody complain of

''Several times.''

"What isn't?''
''Why, agreeing with him. There

Yates threw himself down on the
moss and laughed, hinging his arms
and legs about with the joy of living.

disreputa BILE clothes with you? Well,
then, go into the tent and put them on,

When you come out we'll settle whose

When the professor came out of the
tent Yates roared. Remark himself
smiled; he knew the effect would ap-
peal to Yates.

The young men took sparring atti-

first, but, finding he could not touch
his opponent, struck out more earnest
ly, again giving a friendly warning.
This went on Intellectually for some
time, when the professor, with a quick
movement, swung around his foot
with the airy grace Of dancing-mas-
ter, and caught Yates just behind the
knee, at the same time giving him a
slight tap on the breast. Yates was in
stantly on his back.

later he heard Hiram calling loudly to
his son to bring the pals to water the
horses.

sauntered towards the gate.

watching the rising moon. Primrose's
heart ached for a mothering. And the
New England woman, schooled to re-

desire which urged her to take the
tired child on her knee and coax the
smile back into her brown eyes.

with an effort at sociability. How did

''No, ma'am.' Primrose politely
