A CADDY'S GRATITUDE.
1t Was Sincere, but His Expression
of 1t Might Have Been
Happier.

"A certain Liverpool insurance man
ager went as usual to play golf the
other afternoon. The caddy was very
ragged, and it appealed to the tender
heart of the insurance man.
Presently he found by deft question:
ing that the boy was hungry, too, so
he gave the lad the inevitable some
food
When the game was over he asked
the lad to come with him to his house
and take one of the insurance man
ayers old suits and this the boy CRATE
fully did.
Bit by bit the kindly manager
wormed from him the story of his de-
pendent mother, and before the lad
had finished it was decided to send a
load of coal and a round of beef to the
mother.
The lads eyes were full of tears. He
wished to say something in the kindly
direction, but it was evident that he
could not fashion his thoughts into
words please, SIR" he began.
ooh, nonsense. my lad! Don't men
tion it. Be good lad-that's ALL"
Then the caddy could no longer re-
strain himself. The kindly thought
which was at,the bottom of his heart
broke through:
please, sir; I'm so sorry that you
are such bad player! 8

CHAPTER XVI.
WHITTIER.


A few hours later coppery sun
slowly dispersed the morning mists
above the Thames. The same sun
warmed the court yards of the London
Jail, which lately had confined John
Law, convicted of the murder of Beau
Wilson, gentleman. 1t was discovered
that the said John Law had, in some
superhuman fashion, climbed the
spiked walls of the inner yard. The
jailer pointed out the very spot where
this act had been done. 1t was not so
plain how he had passed the outer
gates of the prison, yet those were not
wanting who said that he had over
powered the turnkey at the gate, taken
from him his keys, and so forced his
way out into London city.
Far and wide went forth the procla-
nation of reward for the apprehension
of this escaped convict. :
Yet though the authorities of the
law made full search in London, and
indeed in other of the principal cities
of England, they got no word of the
escaped prisoner.
The clouded dawn which broke over
the Thames below the Pool might have
told its own story. There sat upon
the deck of the good ship Polly Green
way, outbound from Thames mouth,
this same John Law. He regarded
idly the busy scenes Of the shipping
about him. His gaze, dull and listless,
looked without joy upon the dawn, with

the first time in all his life John Law
dropped his head between mis- hands.

he would fetch me home the night

Lady Catharine-why, tbs as much

out a. smooth place upon the grass.
Each man produced from his belt a
broad-bladed knife, and for the mo-
ment disappeared in the deep fringe OF
evergreens which lined the shore.
Fairly In the twinkling of an, eye a
frame Of bent poles was made, above
which were spread strips Of unrolled
birch bark from the cargo of the ca
noe. Over the spaces left uncovered
by the supply of bark sheets there were
laid down long mats made by Indian
hands. from dried reels and bul-ushes,
affording no inconsiderable prot ections
against the weather. Inside the lodge,
bales of goods and packages OF pro-
visions were quickly arranged in COM
Portable fashion. Gaudy blankets were
spread upon layers of soft skins Of the
buffalo. The Indian woman had
meantime struck fire, whose faint
blue smoke curled lakeward in the soft
evening air. Quickly, and with the
system of experienced cafnpaigners, the
evening bivouac had been prepared
and wildly picturesque it must have
seemed to bystander, had there been
indeed any possible spectator within
many leagues.
Far enough was this from the tur-
mon of London, which Law and his
companion had left nearly a year be-
FORE; far enough still from the wild
capital of New France, where they had
spent the winter. after landing, as
much by chance as through any plan.
at the port of the ST.. Lawrence. Ever
demon of unrest drove Law forward:
ever there beckoned to him that ire
sistible West, of which he was one
of the earliest to feel the charm.
Farther and farther westward, swift
and swifter than ever the boats of the
fur traders had made the journey be-
fore, he and his party, led by Du
Mesne, the ex-galley-slave and wander
er whom Law had by chance met
again, and gladly, at Montreal, had
made the long and dangerous run up
the lakes, past Michilimackinac, down
the lake of Michiganon, headed to-
ward the interior Of new continent
which was then, as for generations
after then, the land of wondrous dis
tances, of grand enterprises, of mag
nificent promises and immense fulfill
ments. The bales and bundles of this
bivouac belonged to John Law, bought
by gold from the gaming tables of
Montreal and Quebec, and ventured in
the one great hazard which appealed
to him most irresistibly, the hazard of
life and fortune in a far land, where
he might live unneighbored, and where
he might forget. Gambler in England,
gambler again in New France, now
trading fur-merchant and voyageur,
he was, as always, an adventurer. Du
Mesne and his hardy crew hailed him
already as new captain of the trails,
new coureur, won from the Old
World by the savage witchery of the
New. He was their brother; and had
he indeed owned longer years of train
ing, his keenness of eye, his strength
of arm, his tirelessness Of limb could
hardly have been greater than they
seemed in his first voyage to fine West.
"Tous les printemps,
Tant des nouvelles"
hummed Du Mesne, as he busted him
self about the camp. casting the while
a cautious eye to note the progress of
the threatening storm.
"Tous les amants
Changent des mattresses.
Jamais lie bon vim n'endort-
L'amour me reveille!"
