sons face was not untroubled when
he made his report. All the prelimi-
nary details had been perfected. He
had taken the Filter for four
months, and it was being overhauled
and put into condition for the voyage.
It had been Browns special pride,
but at his death it went to heirs who
were ready and eager to rent it to
the highest bidder. It would not have
been easy to find handsomer yacht
in New York waters. A picked crew
of fifty men were under command OF
Captain Abner Perry. The steward
was famous manager and could be
relied upon to stock the larder in
prircely fashion. The boat would be
in readiness to sail by the 10th Of
April.
81 think you areigoing in too heavily,
Monty" protested Harrison, twisting
his fingers nervously. ST can't for my
life figure how you can get out for less
than fortune if we do everything you
have in mind. Wouldn't it be better to
pull up bit? This looks like sheer
madness. You won't have a dollar,
Monty-honestly you won't"
cts not in me to save money, Mop
per, but if you can pull out a few dol
lars for yourself I shall not object"
'You told me that once before, Mon
ty,'' said Harrison as he walked to the
window. When he resolutely turned
back again to Brewster his face was
white, but there was a look Of deter
mination around the mouth.
Monty, I've got to give up this job"
he said huskily. Brewster looked up
quickly.
@What do you mean, Nopper!~
'I've got to leave, that's ALL" said
Harrison, standing stiff and straight
and looking over Brewster's head.
"Good Lord, Hopper, I can't have
that. You must not desert the ship.
What's the matter, old chap? You're
as white as a ghost. What is it?" Mon
ty was standing now, and his hands
were cn Harrison's shoulders, but be-
fore the intensity Of his look his friends
eyes fell helplessly.
saThe truth is, Monty, I've taken some
of your money, and I've lost it. That's
the reason II can't stay on. I have
betrayed your confidence
'Tell me about it, and Monty was
perhaps more uncomfortable than his
friend. 81 don't understand"

II knew you'd act this way, but it
doesn't help matters. Some day l may

and I'm going to work until L do
Brewster protested that he had no
use for the money and begged him to
retain the position of trust he had held.
But Harrison had too much self re-
spect to care to be confronted daily
with the man he had wronged. Gradu-
ally Monty realized that hopper was
pursuing the most manly course open
to him and gave UP the effort to dis
suade him. He insisted upon leaving
New York, as there was no opportu-
nifty to redeem himself in the netropo-
lis.
i've made up my mind, Monty, to go
out west-up in the mountains, perhaps.
There's no telling. J. may stumble on
a gold mine up there-and-well, that
seems to be the only chance have TO
restore what have taken from YOU.
"By Jove, Hopper, l have it." cried
Monty. ''If you must go, I'll stake you
in the hunt for gold.''
In the end hopper consented to fol-
low Brewster's advice, and it was
agreed that they should share equally
all that resulted from his prospecting
tour. Brewster grub staked" him for
a wear. and before the end Of the week
a new tenderfoot was on his way to
the Rocky mountains.

steamed off down the bay, and the
flight of the prodigal grandson was on.
No swifter, cleaner, handsomer boat
ever sailed out Of the harbor of New
York, and it was q merry crowd that
she carried out TO sea. Brewster's
guests numbered twenty-five, and they
brought with them liberal supply of
maids, Wallets and luggage. 1t was not
until many weeks later that he read
the vivid descriptions Of the weighing
of the anchor which were printed il
the New York papers, but by that time
he was impervious to their r1dicule.
On deck, watching the rugged sill
houette Of the city disappear into the
mists, were Dan DeMlle and Mrs.
Dan, Peggy Gray, Rip Van Winkle,
Reginald Vanderpool, Joe Bragdon,
DR.. Lotless and his sister Isabel, Mr..
and Mrs. valentine-the official chap
eron-and their daughter Mary, Sub
way Smith, Paul Pettingill and some
others hardly less distinguished. AS
Monty looked over the eager crowd he
recognized with peculiar glow that
here were represented his best and tru-
est friendships. The loyalty Of these
companions had been tested, and he
knew that they would stand by him
through everything.
There was no little surprise when it
was learned that Dan DeMille was
really to sail. Many Of the idle yoy-
oagers ventured the opinion that he
would try to desert the boat in mid
ocean if he saw chance to get back
to his club on a westbound steamer.
But DeMille, big, indolent and indifer
ent, smiled carelessly and hoped he
wouldn't bother anybody if he 'sstuck
to the ship" until the end.
For a time the sea and the sky and
the talk Of the crowd were enough for
the JOY Of living. But after a few
peaceful days there was lull, and it
was then that Monty gained the nick
name Of Aladdin, which clung to him.
From somewhere, from the hold or the
rigging or from under the sea, he
brought forth four darkies from the
south who strummed banjos and sang
ragtime melodies. More than once dur
ing the voyage they were useful.
Peggy" said Brewster one day
wnen the sky was particularly clear
md things were quiet on deck, ION the
whole I prefer this to crossing the
North rivor or @ forry rather like ii
don't you?"
'It seems like dream" she cried,
her eyes bright, her hair blowing in the
wind.

Monte Carlo were toe alluring to the
host to admit Of long stop at Gil

to one of the officers of the garrison,
and Brewster could not overlook the
opportunity to give an elaborate din
ner The success Of the affair may
best be judged by the fact that the
Filters larder required an entirely
new stock the next day. The officers

Stable Burned.

The livery stable of Walker & Robe.-
son was destroyed by fire Monday
morning, a small building used by D.
G. Lawson as an ice house being also
consumed. The stable was new one
erected by w. L. Brewer about year
ago, but he sold to Harris & Walker,
Harris later selling to Robertson.
Another account:
JASPER, Tenn, Sept 4,-The large
livery and feed stable of Walker 81
Robertson was destroyed by fire yester,
day morning about 8 O'Clock. A high
wind was blowing at the time and it
was only by hard work that the sur
rounding buildings were saved.
The stock, buggies, etc, were saw
ed, but the building was total loss !;
also all the feed stuff, including 200
bales of hay and 100 bushels of corn.
No insurance was carried on the build
ing, owing to the very high rate
charged in that part of town.
Tne origin of the fire seems to be a
mystery, as no one had been in the
portion of the barn in which the fire
was discovered for a week The tota
loss will be about 81, 200.
