THE WATERMELON FEAST.

 Do you cadet-fellows like water melons7"
 This Is the question MT. Frisbee pro pounded to Porter Alice when he was in town the other day. Porter confessed that he always tried to get melons out of his sight as soon as possible, and that some of the other cadets were more valiant in their warfare on melons than in anything else they undertook,
 Well, I have about a hundred melons I want to get rid of and so I reckon you had better get the cadets together you can do to them Bring the Pro lessor too. We'll have few neighoors in, and tell him we shall expect speech from him."
 Porter could hardly contain himself
 ntil he had told the boys and the Pro
 ssor, for he had heard of MT. Frisbee's 8 .nnual watermelon feasts and knew they would have q good time.
 The best melons of the locally famous Watermelon King were saved for this feast, for 1t was from these that he gathered the seeds for the next year.
 The cadets were all enthusiastic about the trip and the preliminaries were soon arranged.

There was much merriment in pointing out the places where little incl dents had occurred on their camping out trip Before they had fully passed 1t they had planned for hazel nutting party a little later on, for they knew these nuts were thick there. From the Bluff they drove down into a little val ley and then through the watermelon patch of Mir Frisbee, comprising about two acres, yet full of melons in various stages of development, some dark green, others striped. and the yellow musk

 After the happy greeting their mamma turned to the stranger, who was tying up the skin, and spoke from a full heart T cannot find words in which to express my gratitude and indebted ness to you for having rlsked so much to rescue my little ones. 1 beg you to accompany us to the house at once, with dry clothing, and where I shall in- sist on your remaining till my husband returns home to thank you in a more substantial manner. for, the great kind ness you have rendered us.

He explained that he was out from camp exploring the country along up his skiff to go and ask permission to cast his trout lines there, when to his dismay ne saw the little girls jump into the boat and drift out into the heavy current.

 And just imagine the distress of the poor mother when nearing the river she saw her darlings tossed about on it, now rough and threatening under a strong wind, and she powerless to rescue them. She was about to throw herself in the water in an attempt to reach the boat, when the strange young man came up on the run and hurried to the relief.

 T once knew a German" said the Professor, 'who complained that the scent of melons. even to the pomegran- ate, made him sick; but he could eat limberger cheese without blinking"
 From the valley where the melons were, they wound up a little hill and through the orchard where red apples gleamed. to the barn lot, where they unhitched and watered the horses, drawing water with the old well sweep. Many wagons were already there show ing that a good crowd had collected At the front gate they were met and well eomed by the hostess and Miss Frisbee. Mrs. Frisbee soon busied herself with other duties, while Miss Frisbee and two nelghbor girls, Misses Abbott and Car roll showed the cadets to the grove where. the feast was to be held. They where coxcomb larkspur. hollyhocks and touch-me-nots were In bloom, and where sage, tansy and old man emitted a perfume that made the Professor, feel days On side hill, little further on, was a beautiful little grove, and here benches had been arranged, and perhaps 200 people, men, women and children were gathered Bare tables were set in a group and behind them was a pile of melons that looked to the boys as big

 The girls in aprons bore melons in halves to all the guests, who fell to with great relish. You know what a lucious melon is. Well, they ate as long as nature would permit and then there were melons upon melons left

Now, however, there was sudden change in conditions Far away, but coming nearer, there was an ominous roar and clouds began to obscure the heavens With one accord the throng repaired to shelter. The men for the most part went to the stable and ma chinery shed. while the women entered the house, but Porter and Dumpy ac- companied the girls to the house. Sud denly the storm came roaring and bend Ing the trees. twisting the sapllngs In two, lifting loose articles and whirling them into the air. It became dark as night, and in addition to the roar Of the storm there was the crash of break ing trees, the thump of limbs striking the house, the squealing and whinny or the animals outside. Occasionally the thunder would crash like close artillery. All were frightened, but no voice could be heard in the roar, even If someone had had the tact to speak eneouraging.- ly. Porter was surprised to find soft hand laid on his in the dark. He clasped 1t and placed an arm around the waist of one he knew, though he did not see Ter, tO De MISS ADpolt, anu thouSh ho word was said, they understood much from those few fatal moments.

No serious damage had been wrought. Then the company repaired to the grounds where the picnic had been held.

 But 1t had cleared away more than the rfnds It had taken the benches and tables and broken and splintered them and cast them down In field adjacent It had partly melted the knives with which the melons had been cut, and had left on the grounds couple Of hats that came from no one knew where.
