Fresh air funds, he gathered, meant
taking poor children to the country,
where the farmers fed them fresh milk
and let them walk on the grass. Such
enterprises were greatly to be ap-
proved, since Uncle Jack condemned
them. 1t had been through Uncle Jack
he had had that awful hour with his
father in the library. OF course, he
did not know that after dinner, in the
same library, Grace handed back her
ring, declaring that she could not
marry a man so thoroughly selfish.
Had he seen Jack Phster pacing the
floor of his room that evening, even
Perkins might have been sorry.
But since it was not considered nee
essary to inform Perkins of his uncle's
affairs. he continued in the belief that
fresh air funds were most excellent
things to be encouraged. They were
very simple. too. It would be easy to
find a lot of poor children, and his
Uncle Montgomery would finance the
affair. It was to that maternal rela-
tive that he applied the following
morning, dropping casually into his
office. Five dollars was promptly
forthcoming, Mr.. Montgomery having
no idea that the donation was for Per-
kins' own particular fund.
Armed with the crisp note, Perkins
rounded up half a dozen small boys
and invited them for a two weeks trip
to the country. These he marched to
the railway station, and on his vague
announcement that 1t was a fresh air
f. nd the ticket seller fell into the error
of supposing that it was belated part
of an excursion which had gone out
that very morning from the real So

- ~ PERKINS FRESH AIR FUND ~ -

Jack Phster's quick wit solved the
rest of the problem. Perkins freaks
were a constant source of delight to
him, and he saw in a moment how the
argument of the night before had borne
fruit. telephone inquiry at the rail-
road station confirmed his theory and
barely had Miss Tyson made Perkins
and his companions comfortable at the
Fund headquarters, when Jack ar
rived on an express and made straight
for the headquarters as the first place
of inquiry.
Perkins did not know whether Jack
was the more glad to see him or Miss
Tyson, but he was certain that Miss
Tyson cried very much more over Jack
than she had over him. At any rate,
his explanation that he was merely
trying to carry out the paternaI in
junction not TO make a display Of his
good works fell upon unheeding ears.
for Jack was protesting that he had
been a cad the night before, and Miss
Tyson was vehemently declaring that
he was shamefully neglected and de-
cidedly dear boy, which explanation
being made she took back the ring.
Then, because it was too public a
place to kiss Jack, she kissed Perkins
even more than she had in the lookup,
to that young mans great bewilder-
ment, for it had been more than an
hour since he had been found Then
he and Uncle Jack went back to town,
where Perkins was made much Of by
the family.
IT think" he said, late in the even
ing, as his golden head dropped
drowsily upon his mothers shoulder.
that when you don't tell more people

which sage conclusion he went to bed.

to write to Grace.

the imaginary appreciation Of the pas
sersby, who had been attracted by the
unusual sight, had gradually parted
with his raiment, piece by piece, until
his uncle's opportune arrival alone had
saved tho youngest member Of the
house of Pfister from coming home in a
barrel and a state of nature.
Mrs. Pfster decided that heroio
measures were necessary at once. and
turned Perkins over to his father. The
latter succeeded in convincing his son
that popular applause was not an es-
sential accompaniment to charity. and
that secrecy and good judgment were
more to be praised than ostentation:
all of which, being reduced to words of
one and two syllables, was duly alb
sorbed ty Perkins.
That night at the table Perkins was
permitted to come in for dessert. and
he gravely listened to an argument he
tween Jack and pretty Grace Tyson as
to the value Of fresh air funds. IT was
a hobby with Miss Tyson, and Jack
was Jealous of the time she devoted to
the fund, because it interfered with
their mutual pleasures.
Perkins drank in Miss Tyson's glow
ing description Of the joys of the city
child in the country and the willing
ness of the farmers to take them for a
week. He decided that she must be
right, though. He was unacquainted
with fresh air funds. Usually he was
sent to the country in May, but this
year some especial club business re-
quiring his mothers presence in town,
their departure had been deferred,

title the bearer bore with meek resig-
nation.
1t was Jack Phster, also, who had
declared Perkins to have been born
a professional philanthropist. From his
babyhood Perkins" had been pos
sessed by a love Of giving, excelled
only by his desire that his gifts be her
aided to the world. Mrs. Pf1ster labored
in vain to instill into his mind the value
Of unostentatious charity. Once she
had even sought to enforce her argu-
ment by aid Of hair brush, only to
find her offspring an hour later watch
ing lame boy eat the apple given him
as a balm for his wounded feelings, and
gleefully informing the passersby that
1t was through his sacrifice that the
others enjoyment had been brought
about.
After that she decided that 1t would
be well to wait until Perkins should
have arrived at more mature years be-
fore continuing her argument. Then one
afternoon Jack arrived with Perkins"
under his arm, the boy clad only in
his trousers. Between roars of laugh
ter Jack described how Perkins had
started in by giving his shoes to a
barefooted bootblack, and, enthused by

ciety. He provided Perkins with
tickets to a town a short distance up
the river With the change Perkins
purchased a generous luncheon OF
cough drops and peanuts, and, thus
equipped, the first personally con-
Quoted excursion of the Perkins fresh
air fund made start.
1t was a ride of an hour and a half
by slow train to their destination; the
lunch disappeared and the children
were tired and quarrelsome. When
Perkins with blind confidence, an
nounced himself and his party as a
fresh air fund and demanded to be
shown the farmers who delighted to
take in children, the station agent, who
had been tormented that morning try
ing to handle the real party, promptly
sent for the police force of two con-
stables. The party was taken into GUS
tody.
Huddled into one small room in the
village lookup, things were not well
with Perkins. He had promised an
outing. and instead they had been ar
rested. Boy-like, they took prompt
and summary vengeance upon Per-
kins, who formed the lowest layer of
a pyramid of six energetic youths just
as Miss Tyson was ushered into the
room The constables soon separated
the combatants and bit by bit the story
came out. Miss Tyson first laughed,
then she cried and then she kissed
Perkins a great many times, for Per-
kins favored his mother-and Jack
Pfster.
Meanwhile there was anxiety in the
Phster home. Perkins had not come
home for lunch. All of the relatives
were telephoned, and a clew was Sc
cured from Mr.. Montgomery, who re-
lated the incident of the f1ve-dollar do
