Danger That Threatened the

deacon, three guineas will set another
pole in its place"
Shobal shook his head doubtfully. 1t
did not seem to him that another pole
would be the same. He recalled the en-
thusiasm of a fortnight ago; how it
had been dragged by the people to
Manter hill, and into the hole dug to
receive it they had poured every leaf of
tea from every cupboard in town; how
they had watched it lifted to it's place
amid the cheers of the crowd.
"Well, the deed is done and cannot
be undone. Tomorrow the kings men
come for the pole, and 1 have thought,
seeing that there are some hot bloods
among us, that it were as well to say
nothing of this matter" 1t was the
deacon who spoke.
"But half the people of the town now
stand at the door and will not go until
they are satisfied that no harm IS
threatened" objected Allen.
81 will go out and speak with them.

our harbor for repairs and tomorrow
the men will come ashore for mater

A few minutes later, while Stephen
Luce stood outside making his lame ex-
PLANTATION to the people. the girl at the
door, utterly shameless as to her caves
dropping. ran softly up the stairway
and into the room where her friend.
Maria Allen, sat as she had left her ten
minutes earlier. busy at her knitting.

girl pushed the door together and stood

tened an uneasy moment and turned
again to sleep, and not until the next
morning did he know it's cause, when
the whole town gathered about the
wrecked liberty pole In the center of
the group stood the three apprehensive
selectmen and the angry officer of the
Unicorn. In vain did Deacon Luce as
sert his innocence, his ignorance of
the offender; in vain did he assure the
officer that he had even kept the sale
of the pole secret for fear of some
such happening. 1T we'll nigh looks
as if bolt from heaven had done this

this is the honesty of the colonists. it is
time the kings troops teach them a
lesson. You sold me the spar and took

payment for it, and this is the state
in which you deliver it,
Then the deacon, who had borne
much browbeating from both sides, lost
temper and discretion at a stroke
He flung the three guineas on the
ground. There lies your money take
it, for we are honest men and do not
take payment for goods not delivered; /;
nevertheless, I thank Providence that
there was one among us who had pa
triotism to do this deed" and the irate
deacon marched off high headed, leav-
ing the British officer and his men to
return to their ship empty handed; but
nobody breathed quite freely in the
town until an hour or so later, when
they saw the last sail set and the ship
moved slowly out of the harbor.

JOHN JUNIORS APoTHEosIs

BY Alma EIllngson-Age 1e Years

1T say that John Jr. must and shall
become a minister" Miss Prue, COM
pressing her thin lips, said, leaving
no apparent hope to the contrary.
IT fear he is not adapted to the min
istrv." John Jr.'s mother ventured ever
so feebly.
"Adaptedl FIddlesticksl" sneered
Miss Prue. "John Jr.'s great grand
father, his grandfather, and his father
in turn were ministers. 1t would be
a shame to sever a link in this pro-
crossing theology chain. And besides,
now since dear brother John is dead
Miss Prue set out on an exploring trip
into her capacious pocket In search Oh
a handkerchief, but failing to find the
desired article, she let fall rev dry
tears on stocking of John Jr's which
was in the process of being darned
IT think it is our duty to carry out his
last wish for his son."
Mrs. Bryan, please, what does min
'sters do sides scream at you In
church?" The unexpected interruption
came from the cooks little daughter,
Isabelle, who stood in the doorway
munching a cookie.
John Jrs mother, with an amused
smile. answered the child. "They say
comforting things at peoples funerals
and visit the people, and marry peo-
pie"
"What's the use when the people Is
dead? No minister never visited me-
But honest square, I'm awful glad
John Jr.'s goin' to be one cause then
he'll marry me of course, but then ne
saws he's gon' to do that anyhow.
Goody!" The little maid was about to
depart to assure John Jr. of his suit,
when Miss Prue's deft hand caught
her pinafore and silently seated the
astonished Isabelle on a stiff chair ana
bade her learn by heart" the twelfth
chapter of Proverbs.
With a sharp look of reproof into
the twinkling eyes of John Jr.'s young
mother, Miss Prue continued in her
usual rasping voice: Florence, what
noblcr pedestal in life would you wish
your son to ascend than to become
fisher of men?"
There was a dangerous quiver in her
voice as John Jr's exceedingly young
mother approached the door, saying,
"If you please, Prue, we will defer our
discussion until John Jr. is little
more advanced in years, at least until
his opinion concerning the matter has
been consulted"
Miss Prue standing in the doorway,
watched her sister-in-law hurrying to
the grape arbor from whence few mo-
ments later peals of laughter issued.
The Mortified Miss Prue muttered, "The

her own husband has been in his grave

OUR SUMMER HOUSE
BY Norma otto-Ase 1s Years.
Class 3

Class 3
One bright summer day four girls in
our neighborhood decided that we
would like to have little summer
house. So we put up bamboo frame.
After we had that done. we planted
some seeds of little vine all around
it. We carefully watered the seeds
every day. By and by the little green
sprouts peeped up.
o! my, how happy we were. The
sprouts grew larger and larger day
after day, until they had covered the
whole frame, only leaving enough room
for us to walk. in
Now the next thing was to furnish
the summer house but that could be
easily done. We each had separate
chairs which we contributed. A table
in the middle and a little case where
we kept our books completed the fur
nishings.
Every afternoon when we came home
from school we always went into our
little house. Our good mothers always
provided us with dainty little lunch,
when we had a little party and would
invite several Of our friends.

MILE A MINUTE TRAVEL
Only TWO Days Between New York
and San Francisco

and San Francisco
With faster long-distance trains than
were ever before run. in the regular
clipping hours off old records between
New York and Chicago. a mile minute
on a railroad is a commonplace, but
how many passengers realize what that
rate of speed would mean If 1t could be
maintained indefinitely? A mile a
minute would cross the continent from
New York to San Francisco in two
days. 1t would girdle the earth at the
equator in sixteen days. At that speed
a passenger might ride from Cleveland
to Los Angeles in two days. Three
would take him to Central America. A
week would land him at Cape Horn or
in the Philippines. The long journey to
India would be only nine-day wonder.
Even the moon would be less than six
months distant. The full import of the
general development of means OF trans
portation which would make such speed
possible, on or over land and sea alike,
can hardly be imagined. 1t would knit
the world together as 1t has never yet
been united. And the globe. SO greatly
shrunken for purposes OF travel ami
trade. would perforce be more neigh
borly. better acquainted. less prone to
quarrel. 1t would also be far richer.
more comfortable and prosperous. be-
cause all lands would then minister to
the well-being OF each.
