THE MAN WHO WAS ROBBED.
Fable with IA Moral That Will BE
Very Generally Conceded
With.

A stranger in a strange Land once
fell in with thieves, who found him on
a lonely road, beat him, robbed him,
and then tied him to tree.
After long wait another traveller
came by, and the stranger, in weak
voice, pleaded for help, says Judge.
He told the story of his wrongs, and
the traveller said: Glow sad!"
''I cried out, but my voice is not
strong, and my cries were of no avail"
said the victim.
"How unfortunate" said the trav-
eler.
"And the robbers tied me SO fast I
am utterly helpless"
GLOW interesting"
Interesting? Do you think it in
teresting to have been beaten and
robbed? Why, the thieves took all my
money except small sum in my inside
pocket"
Glow careless!" commented the
traveller.
Then, having satisfied himself that
the strangers story was true, that he
was really tied securely, that his voice
was weak, and that there was a small
sum in an inside pocket, he secured
the small sum and went on his way.
Moral-Hard-luck stories are seldom
successful.

CHAPTER VII.

When ! reached the charming little
could see that it bore out Kitwater's S
description of it. A prettier little
place could scarcely have been dis
covered, with its tree-shaded high
road, it's cluster of thatched cottages,
its blacksmith's shop, rustic inn with
the signboard on a high post before
the door, and, last but not least, the
quaint little church standing some
hundred yards back from the main
road, and approached from the lych-
gate by an avenue of lines.
Here" l said to myself, "is a
place where man might live to be
100, undisturbed by the rush and
hustle of the great world"
That was my feeling then, but
since I have come to know it better,
and have been perHitted an oppor-
tunity of seeing for myself some
thing of the inner life of the hamlet,
/ have discovered that it is only the
life of a great city, on a small scale.
| There is the same keen competition
| in trade, with the same jealousies
and chickering's. However, on this
peaceful Sunday morning it struck
me as being delightful. There was
an old-world quiet about it that was
vastly soothing. The rocks cawed
lazily in the elms before the church
as if they knew it were Sunday morn
ing and a day of rest. a dog lay ex-
tended in the middle of the road,
basking in the sunshine, a thing
which he would not have dared to do
on weekday. Even the little
stream that runs under the old stone
bridge, which marks the center of
the village, and then winds its tor
tuous course round the churchyard,
through the Squire's park, and then
down the valley on it's way to the
sea, seemed to flow somewhat more
slowly than was it's wont.
Feeling just in the humor for lit
tie moralizing, I opened the lych-
gate and entered the churchyard.
The congregation were. singing the
last hymn, the Old Hundredth, if ]
remember rightly, and the sound of
their united voices fitted perfectly
into the whole scheme, giving it the
one touch that was lacking. AS l
strolled along I glanced at the in
scriptions on the various tomb
stones, and endeavored to derive
from them some notion of the lives
and characters of those whose mem
ories they perpetuated.
"Sacred to the memory of Eras-
mus Cunning, % years schoolmaster
of this parish. Born 24th of March,
1906, and rested from his labors on
September the 10th, 1876" Seating
myself on the low wall that sur
rounded the churchyard, I looked
down upon the river, and, while so
doing, reflected upon Erasmus Gun
ming. What had he been like, this

depredations, a brush shelter is con-
structed under which some one of
the family is required to be con-
stantly on the watch.
The women keep their "kans" quite
neat, and do all the cooking, grind
ing the corn on the heavy stone met
ates, as do the other Indians of Ari-
zona. They are also expert basket
makers, although possessed of the
Paints hereditary ability, they
made very few baskets until few
years ago. when they found there was
an increasing demand for them at a
good price. Accordingly, they began
to make them, and, being uncivilized,
worked conscientiously and faith
fully, and improved upon the baskets
of their forebears. In shape, weave
and design their baskets are very
beautiful, and consequently are much
sought after by collectors. Living
where river bank, well watered val
leys, foothills, mountains and desert
are all near by, they levy tribute
upon the plant life Of all these vari-
Gus and varied native gardens for
the best basket making material. The
results are seen in the pure white
color of much of their work, the
ineness of the splint, this being
made possible by the toughness of
the fiber of the willows or other
plants used, and the charm of the
colored splints. The most beautiful
of these latter is made from the
root of a kind of palmetto, which
grows on the foothills, looking to-
wards the desert. The cuticle is
peeled off and it becomes rich,
dark, unfading brown, when dry.
I succeeded in purchasing 40 of
the Chemehuevi baskets, of different
sizes and shapes. and ere long they
will grace a place in the Carnegie
museum, of Pittsburg, Pa.
The children are bright little raga-
mullins. timid and shy before stran-
gers at first. but, as socn as they feel
safe, full of fun and frolic. found in
one place three orphans. Father and
mother were dead. and they had been
taken by widowed aunt who was
caring for them to the best of her abil-
ity. aided by other members of the
tribe. As soon as | knew the facts in
the case. went down to my boat, and,
overhauling some old clothes in my
trunk found stockings, shoes, and
little dress for the girl, and various
garments for the two boys. Without
a word l began to put them on, and
what amazement, what delight, were
depicted on their little faces. As
soon as they were all "togged out"
t$ey rushed off to the next kan to
show their new possessions, and in
five minutes I was besieged with moth
ers and sisters and brothers. all of
whom thought might manage to find
something for them or theirs in the
large trunk in the boat.

consequent fruitless journey to
Southampton.
"And he managed to escape you
after ALL" said Kitwater. "That man
would outwit the master of all liars
himself. He is out of England by
this time, and we shall lose him."
HE has not escaped me-" l re-
piled. quietly. 81 know where he is,
and / have got a man on his track"
"Then where is hep" asked Kit
water. "If you know where he is,
you ought to be with him yourself
instead of down here. You are paid
to conduct the case. How do you
know that your man may not bungle
it, and that we may not lose him
again?"
His tone was so rude and his man
ner so aggressive, that his niece was
about to protest. l made a sign to
her, however, not to do so.
81 don't think you need be afraid
Mr.. Kitwater," | said more soothing
ly than l felt. "My man is a very
clever and reliable fellow, and you
may be sure that, having once set
eyes on Mr.. Hayle, he will not lose
sight of him again. l shall leave for
Paris tomorrow morning, and shall
Immediately let you know the result
of my search. VIII that suit you?"
ut will suit me when [ get hold of
Hayle," he replied. Until then l
shall know no peace. Surely you
must understand that?'
Then, imagining, perhaps, that he
had gone too far, he began to fawn
upon me, and what was worse
praised my methods of elucidating a
mystery. | cannot say which | dis
| liked the more. Indeed, had it not
been that l had promised Miss Kit
water to take up the case, and that
1 did not want to disappoint her, l
believe l should have abandoned it
there and then, out of sheer disgust.
A little later our hostess proposed
that we should adjourn to the house,
as it was nearly lunch-time. We did
so, and was shown to pretty bed
room to wash my hands. 1t was a
charming apartment, redolent of the
country, smelling of lavender, and,
after London, as fresh as a glimpse
of a new life. ! looked about me,
took in the cleanliness of everything,
and contrasted it with my own dingy
apartments at Rickford's hotel,
where the view from the window was
not of meadows and breezy uplands,
but of red roofs, chimney-pots, and
constantly revolving cowls. / could
picture the view from this window in
the early morning, with the dew
upon the grass, and the blacllbirds
whistling in the shrubbery. | am not
vain man, i think, but at this
| iuncture 1 stood before the looking
glass and surveyed myself. For the
first time in my life l could have
wished that / had been better-look-
ing. At last I turned angrily away.

She Gained Papa,s Consent.

A pretty girl announced to papa her
engagement to dear Cholly. The old
man became very grave a once. Cholly
had a good salary, was to all appear
ances nice, steady young man, "but
then" said papa, "let the enga cement
be long one, my dear. In that case
you will have time to find out each
others faults and failings, and dis
cover serious defects of character
which would make you wretched for
life if you marry" "But, papa" in
terposed the sweet girl, 81 object to
long engagements if they are so apt
to be broken, don't you know?" And
while the old man meditated she
rushed off into the par,or to tell Cholly
it was all right and resume the yum
yum business.-Louisvil.e Times.
