speaking III Of anybody unless forced

to-"
Uncle Terry was silent, evidently re-
yoiving d serious problem IL lis mind.
II am goin' to beg yer pardon, Mr..
Page" he said at last, ser spcakin'
the way 1 did regardin' lawyers in gin
eral. My 'sperence with 'em has been
bad, an materially 1 don't trust 'em
much. I've had some dealin's with
this ERE Frye bout n matter I don't
want to tell bout, an the way things
is workin' amt as they should be. l
b'lieve I'm robbed right along, an IL
ye're willin' to help me 1 shall be most
tarnally grateful IN will give ye my
word I'll never let on to anybody what
we say-an' Silas Terry eve yit broke
his promise"
Albert silently offered his hand to
Uncle Terry, who grasped 1t cordially.
IL will tell you, Mr.. Terry" he said
after the handshake, call i know about
Mr., Frye and what my opinion is Of
him. What your business with him is,
matters moi. l am certain you will
keep your word. 1 recently worked for
Mr.. Frye six months and left him to
open nm office for myself. In that six
months l became satisfied Nicholas
Frye was the most ~unprlncipled villain
ever masked under the name Of lawyer.
IL all those you have had business with
were like him, / don't wonder at your
remark today"
Uncle Terry leaned forward, with ell
bows ON his knees, resting his face In
the palms of his hands, and calculated:
II knew It'll 1 knew it! I'm n blamed
old fool an ought to hcv Il keeper put
over meI' Then turning to Albert he
added, "I've paid that thief over $500
this year an hain't got n scrap Of paper
to show fer Il, an notlin's been done
SO fer as I kin see bout the business"
He meditatcd II few moments and then
turning around suddenly added: "My
wife an Telly don't know nothin' bout
this, nm 1 don't want they should,
Thar's n sucker born every mint an
two to ketch him. an 1 D'lievc 1t! I've
been ketchcd an skinned fer dead sure
1 want to sleep ont, an mebbe III the
mornin' I'll tell We the hull story an
how I've been made a fool Of. Pm be
glnnin' to think 1 kin trust ye."
IL thank you for your good opinion
answered Albert, "und If / can helr
you In any way 1 will"
When the two returned to the house
Albert was shown to 4 room that re
minded him of his boyhood home, the
old fashioned bed, spotlcss counter
pane and muslin curtains all seemed
SO sweet and wholesome. n faint odol

was setting In the east. He sat down
to think. All sound Of the ocean was
gone, and q stiffness that seemed to
crawl out Of the thicket was around
him. He rested q few moments more
and then suddenly heard he sound of
wheels and presently saw, coming
around the curve, an old fashioned
carryall, worn and muddy, and, driv-
ing the horse at a jog trot, q man as
dilapidated looking as the vehicle.
Gladdened at the sight, he arose and,
holding up his hand as II signal, halted
the team. Excuse me; sir" he said
TO the man, who eyed him c~uriously,
'but will you tell me where I amT
WAL" was the answer In q slow
drawl. "ye're on Southport island an
bout four miles from the jumpin' of
place. Whar might ye be goin'3 Ye
looked pushed"
II am" answered Page, "and badly
pushed too. / lost my boat over back
here on the shore and have had q
cheerful time among the Mohawk
briers. I belong to q yacht that is
can't tell where, and If you will take
me to her I'll pay you we'll"
The man in tho wagon laughed.
"Say, stranger" he observed with q
chuckle, "you mind me o. the feiier
that got full nm wandered round for
q spell till he fetched up to n house
an sed to the man that cum to the
door, III you will tell mo who I am or
whar I am or whar I want ter go I'll
give We a dollar"
Page had to laugh In spite Of his
plight, for the humorous twinkle in
the old mans eyes as he uttered his
joke was infectious.
nd like ter 'commodate ye," he add
Cd, n.but as I'm carryin' Uncle Sans
mail an must git home an tend the
light, an as ye don't know whar We
want ter go, We best Jump In an go
down to Saints Rest, whar I live, an
in the mornin' wen try an hunt up
yer boat"
1t seemed the only thing to do, and
Albert availed himself Of the chance.
"Can you tell the spot where you
found meT he said to the man as they
started on. I'D like to go back there
tomorrow and find my cushions"
WAL" was the answer, "as I've
druv over this road twice q day for
nigh on to thirty year, I'm tolerablo

nm I'm keeper o. the light at the Cape
an carry the mail to sorter piece out

my names Page, and I'm from Bos-
ton, md a lawyer by profession" re-
piled Albert.
Uncle Terry eyed him rather sharply.
Il wouldn't "a took We fer one" he
said. aye look too honest. 1 amt
much stuck on lawyers" he added with
a chuckle. I've had 'sperence with
'em. One of 'em sold me n hole in the

twenty years savin's! Ye'l 'scus
me fer bein' blunt-it's my natur."
"Oh. 1 don't mind" responded AL
bert iaughingly. But YOU mustn't
judge us all by one rascal"
They drove on, and as they logged
up and down the sharp hills he caught
sight here and there of the ocean, and
alongside the road, which consisted of
two ruts, Il path and two grass grown
ridges, he saw wild roses IN endless
profusion. On either hand was an in
terminable thickct. In the little val
lcys grew masses OF rank ferns and

One in particular ,caught his eye. 1t
was q ship careened on the ocean with
waves breaking upon her. She was
resting on rocks that barely showed
beneath, and I'm her rigging, heavily
covered with ice, were five men. All
around was the sea, tossed into giant
waves, curling md breaking about the
stranded vessel. He noted the lifelike
shading of the green and white bill
lows, the ice that covered every STROUD
and rope and spar, and peering out or
q cabin door was n woman holding q
babe in her arms. In n way 1T was a
CHASTITY picture and one that held his
attention from all the rest.
1t was framed in a broad, fat mold
ing covered with shells. He was still
gazing ut 1t when he heard Uncle FER
rvs voice bidding him good morning.
"Aln't yc up n little arlyf" said that
worthy. az hope ye siep' well. L gin
orally roust out by daylight an put out
the light an then start Il fire, but thar
was no need of you gittin' out SO soon"
~ think the waves woke me-" replied
Albert, "and the morning is SO beau
tiful / couldn't waste 1t In bed"
SIN goin' over to the owe to menda
trap" continued Uncle Terry, IAN If
ye'rc willin' I'd like to hev ye go along
too. The wimmin III hev breakfast
ready by hat time, an then III take
We up to Seal cove an see IL yer boats
thar"
He seemed depressed and not inclined
to talk, and Albert sat on an overturn-
, ed dory and watched him puttering
away over q lobster trap. His hat had
fallen off, and the sea winds blew his
scant fringe of gray hair over his bald
head. His brown shirt was open at
the throat, disclosing q bony neck, and
his we'll worn garments showed the out
lines OF q somewhat wasted form.
What impressed Albert more than all
this was the detected ann Of Uncle
Terry. When he finished fixing the
trap he pulled n dory in that was moor
ed out In the cove and carefully bailed
and wiped 1t clean. When this was
done he said almost wistfully: 1--WE
worried n good deal bout what We
told Inc last night, an I'd like to have
q good talk with yc. 1 s'pose ye're anx-
ious to see yer friends an let 'em
know ye're all safe, nm I'll take ye up
the island the fust thing an then go
an pull my traps, an then IL ye're will
In We'll sot down, If 1t amt askin' toe
much O. ye to wait" he added almost
pathetically. "Tll get Telly to show
We her picturs, an mebbc We can give
her some p'ints as III help her"
IL shall be more than glad to do so,'
replied Albert, "but IL that shipwreck
scene is hers, she needs nc advice from
me-"
Uncle Terry looked pleased, but made
no answer. On the way back to the
house he said. I'D ruthcr ye'd make
no mention to the wimmin OF our hev'
in any talk"
AT the breakfast table he seemed in
better spirits and more like himself.
II think We told me last night he re
marked, addressing Albert, that ye
painted picturs yersclf some" And
then, turning to Tclly, he added. "Mr
Page Is comm back here blmeby jest
to look round, an mebbe he'd like tc
look at some of yourn."
Telly's face flushed slightly. IL shall
be delighted" added Albert, "if Miss
Terry Will favor me. VIII your" he

passable wilderness. Then you came
along and brought mo to ono Of the
most beautiful spots I yer saw I
should like to stay here all summer
and do nothing but look at this mag
niicent ocean view and sketch these
bold shores"
"Do you paint picturs tooT queried
Uncle Terry, suddenly interested.
"Telly's daft on dom that. an is Mt
It all the time she can git" Then he
added with a slight reflection OF pride,
"Mebbe we noticed some O. her pioturs
in the sittin' roomT'
II saw q lot Of pictures there an
swered Albert, "but 1t was too dark to
see them well. Il should like to look ut
them I'm the morning."
"Yc'n hev plenty o. time" was the
reply, IL must pull my lobster traps
fust, an after that I'll take We in my
dory an we'll go an find yer boat. L
guess she must be lynn in Seal cove,
the only openin' 'twixt here an the
head she'd be likely ter run into"
and so your daughter Is an artist,
is she2" asked Albert, Indifferent now
as to where the Gypsy was or when
he was likely to return to her. "IIas
she ever taken lessonsT"
mo, 1t ZONES nat'ral to her" replied
Uncle Terry; "she showed the bent O.
her mind fore she was ten years old,
an she's pcstercd me yer since ter git
her canvas an paints an slch. But
then, I'm willin' ter" he added in a
tender tone. Telly's n good girl, an
Lissy an me set great store by her.
She's all we've got I'm the world" Then
pointing to Il small white stone just to
the right of where they were, he
added, "Thar's whar the other mes

"This one has grown to be n very
beautiful girl" said Albert quietly,
"nnd you have reason to be proud of
her"

over these she had q marvellous COM
mand, controlling them at will and al
lowing them to be freely operated upon
without the use of anaesthetics. Under
the operation she described to the as
sembled surgeons and students the SEN
sations she experienced in her throat,
nose. palate, tonsils and other organs
under the action of the surgeons knife.
Frau Gelly reported daily at the Clin-
ical laboratory and at the private
houses of the most celebrated doctors
of Vienna, usually carrying a black
reticule containing all sorts of objects,
such as needles, marbles, pins, pencils.
etc, intended to be swallowed or passed
through her nostrils or ears for ex-
periments.
AS the "Vivisection Rabbit" was paid
three and sixpence for each sitting, and
averaged two daily for twenty years,
she has left a small fortune, and, hav-
ing died intestate, the money will prob
ably be appropriated by the medical
faculty of the university.
Meanwhile great preparations are be-
ing made by the whole body of doctors
and students to give this remarkable
woman an imposing funeral.

Untainted Gold

Perhaps the gold of Rockefeller is tainted
so they say
But how about the glowing gold that at
the close of day
God paints the sky with? All of earth
hath none that can compare
With that gold-and, the best of it-all of
it's free as air!
Now Autumn sweeps her trailing skirts
athwart the waning year.
And tints the fields and forests the hue
of golden cheer.
No palate ever held the colors that she
splashes round,
Yet do you ever think that in her gold a
taint is found?
My sweetheart's bonnie tresses stream
freely in the wind;
Nowhere In mine of sky or brush such
yellow gold you'll find!
The hand of the Almighty mixed the
color that them dyes.
Will you note taint in her fair hair? The
man who says so lies!
Aye, keep your gold that's tainted-the
world is full of ore
That hand O. man could never touch
that's gold worth whining for!

EMMONS AND HIS "PAL"

Both Emmons and the Examiner looking for
Doodle . Emmons and the Examiner are one So
testified Gavin McNab in the trial at Sacramento of
Emmons, who is No 2 in the quartet of senatorial
booders
Gavin McNab is leading lawyer of San Francisco
and he would not be likely to make such statement
the here quoted without the ability to substantiate
it if necessary The statement, in fact apparently is
challenge to the Examiner What is the response?
Certainly newspaper with pretense to character
would ignore the direct charge of boodng completely
with ready to be measured for striped suit
The Examiner is not likely to go beyond its inkpot
in responding to the challenge alluded to- It's
owner with the whole of presidential bees in his
bonnet will not dare to accept the challenge in the
judicial His paper is notorously the champion
and defender of all that is infamous in San Francisco
and to it's vile record would be the uncapping
of a metaphorca cesspool.
But what respectable citizens of San Francisco
and of California generally, think of newspaper that
the specific charge of being Doodle partner of
a man who soon will be doing the lockstep in state
prison. with his brother boodler wearing the
stripes? 1t is not strange that San Francisco has the
reputation of being the corrupt city in the United
States.

THEY ATE EARTHWORMS
French Gourmets Liked the Flavor
and Asked for More

From What to Eat.
A few years ago the Pail Mall Ga
zette gravely reported that group of
French gourmets had tested the edible
qualities of the common earthworm,
and pronounced the creature a valuable
addition to the bill of fare. The report
read:
Fifty guests We're present at the ex-
pertinent. The worms, apparently lob
worms, were first put into vinegar, by
which process they were made to dis
gorge the famous vegetable mould.
They were then rolled in batter and put
into an over, where they acquired a
delightful golden tint, and we are as
sured, a most appetizing smell. After
the first plateful the fifty guests arose
like one man and asked for more. Could
anything be more convincing? Those
who love snails, they add, will abandon
them forever in favor of worms"
