black clouds could be seen creeping
slowly above the trees, but the boys
scarcely noticed. The few who glanced
that way looked rather pleased than
otherwise. The chance Of wetting
does not discomfort boy, and. besides,
the clouds promised the continuance OF
the stiff breeze.
Colonel Freeman's cottage overlooked
the pond, and his boathouse was the
wonder and admiration Of all the boys.
1t was large enough to accommodate
seven or eight boats, and upstairs n
room was being fitted up for the club.
Every boy who had become member
was already beginning to feel sort Of
proprietorship in the new building.
zee of the Freeman boys owned
boz Of their own, and the other three
were looking forward to the time when
they would be old enough to Join the
club. Freddie, the youngest, was only
nine but he was already as ardent a
boatman as any Of them.
The race was to be round an island
two miles up the pond and back to the
boathouse. Mr.. Freeman and two men
from the village were to act as judges.
As the boats began to form in line
Mr.. Freeman motioned to Ben, who
happened to be near
will you let Freddie go with your
and don't like to have him go In any
of the lighter boats. The weather
threatens to be very squally. The
older boys are strong swimmers and
can take care Of themselves. but Fred
die is too young to risk being cap
sized"
"Of course! I'll be glad to have
him" cried Ben delightedly. He had
never been spoken to by Mr.. Freeman
before, and he wondered why that
keen eyed gentleman had singled him
out from the rest Of the boys. With a
dexterous motion he swung his boat
alongside the landing so that the little
fellow could spring on board and then
circled back to rejoin the line.
1T will hardly be necessary for me
to caution you about being careful"
said Mr. Freeman pleasantly as the
boat glided by. II have been watch
ing you for several weeks and am very
glad that you belong to the club"
At this point the pond was nearly
half a mile wide, and there was ample
room for the boats to maneuver and
come into the wind. But It was diff
cult to form true line, and they were
obliged to circle around again and
again before the signal was given
AS they scudded up the pond before
the wind the lighter boats rapidly left
their clumsy companion behind. and
when the leading ones rounded point
three-fourths of mile away the Mud
Hen had scarcely covered two-thirds Of
the distance.
But all this time the black clouds
were creeping up the sky, and every
moment the wind was growing more
ftful and uncertain. One boat would
have Its sails tapping idly in the wind,
and another, few rods away, would
be straining under fierce blast which
swept around point or from behind
an island. As the wind increased in
violence many Of the boats began to
lower sail little by little, and long be-
fore they had rounded the island some
of them were carrying less than half
the canvas they had started with.
The Mud Hen was behaving splen-
didly now and was leaving long wake
Of churning foam. Ben had not low
cred sail, and he had no intention Of
doing so, at least for the present.

The story of Miss McCord's alleged

Last Tuesday morning Miss McCord

REPAIRING.
bottom, and those who did not possess
masts and sails were ready to offer any
of their worldly possessions for the
coveted articles.
Ben Horton was not usually counted
as one of the "boys." He lived with
misery uncle near the upper end of
the pond and was always very ragged
and shy. The boys jeered at him and
excluded him from their games as
much as possible, but Ben was good
natured and seldom took offense. He
would stand by and watch the others
with eager interest and was always
ready to assist at the slightest invita-
ton.
Much Of his time was passed on the
water. He had found an old scow
somewhere and had patched and calked
the seams until they became nearly
water tight. With this boat he had
explored all the inlets and shadows
and had grown familiar with the pc
culiarities Of the winds and currents.
Ben went to the club meeting with as
much curiosity as the rest but with
little idea of joining. He stood the
scofting and jostling of his companions
with good natured equanimity and was
among the first to sign the constitu-
ton. The next morning he drew his
old scow from the water, preparatory
to repatching and recalking.
Originally his boat had been intended
for freight and was built Of coarse.
heavy material. Much patching and
calking had not contributed to it's light
ness, and now the most sanguine
would scarcely have regarded it as a
proper candidate for racing honors.
The only thing to be said in its favor
was that it was almost impossible to
be capsized Ben spent week in
overhauling and repairing and finished
his work by liberal application Of
black paint, inside and out When he
returned the boat to the water the
boys promptly named it the Mud Hen.
The first race was to be limited to
sailboats, and this would debar the
Mud Hen unless Ben should bring out
the makeshift sail of old sacking which
he sometimes used. AS this was very
old and ragged and by far the most
dlsreputable sail on the pond, the boys
thought he would not be willing to dis
play it on such public occasion.
But on the morning Of the races ne
was out with the earliest, and the re-
doubtable Mud Hen bowed swkwardly
under the consciousness Of new
! homemade mast that was several feet
longer than the one it replaced. And
the much patched and mended sail was
carried up to the proud heights Of the
new mast by an additional width OF
sacking. When the boys saw the pro
NOTED scow plunging about under Its
grotesque spread Of patchwork they
set up derisive shout. Ben grinned
appreciatiyely and waved his old cap
| in acknowledgment.

LANDING.
There was little danger Of the broad,
heavy boat being capsized, and he did
not fear for the mast.

this" he told Freddie quietly, IAN
nothing didn't give way either. don't

they went past.
But there seemed little probability
that they would overtake any Of the
others. Long before they reached the

Des Moines, Dec. Ito obtain the

old Grace McCord, it is alleged, forged
the name of John McCord, her father.

check for $500. She collected the mon

two friends from Des Moilaes to New
Orleans. and was arrested at New Or

Southern Pacific steamer for Havana.
Local detectives left for that city to
return with the young girl to the I'M

McCord so philanthropicalfy aided are
Mrs. Able Rice and Mrs. Hannah
