mlllar m sound with his mouth that neither
Moan oa Webster nor the writer can express the
orthography.
They left the village behind them. They
trundled swiftly past the mirror-like shadows
o. the rivers edge, and the clumps of hem
lock; and spinneys of young willows and alder
bordering upon it.
Presently, the woods upon the boys land
side came down close to the road like green
cape, and just beyond this point the road to
Bangkok stretched forward, almost as straight
ahead as city street
The dog cart carne abreast with the woody
point an was Just continuing story he had
been telling:

Just at this. moment, gentleman, neatly

pleasantly:
"Halloa! What are you in such a hurry
about? Please wait minute for me-"

Van smiled. August said, good -humoredlv:
That's all right, sir. Accidents will hap
pen." p
He was about to start January ahead again
The gentleman took step forward, and added,
hesitatingly ''>>'N

Now this might have been called a hint
August, glancing forward of January's ears
to the hot and dusty stretch of road had
not the heart to construe it otherwise; and
moreover, the dog carts seat was wide one
and Van slender fellow.

dehcately, after a moment; "but are you sure,
Mr.. r1l Bow, that your watch is right?'
Knows , my name, | declare, thought Au-
gust "and January's too!''
The practical explanation of this knowledge
is not, however, difficult. The stranger had
brought his ears with him into the dog cart.
The train is three twenty-four, and am
two-htty now, continued the speaker, "and
am quite certain my watch is correct"
Both Van and August politely admitted some
little uncertainty as to their time-pieces, and
January was admonished suitably.
Don't make him 80 like two-forty on ac-
count OF my two-6fty," requested the stranger.
Both the boys thought this speech SO witty.
Their passenger had already given them his
name-Mr. Cecil Prince of Five Oaks
August was not able to recollect any such
cottage owner at that little summer resort
but then neither Van nor he were very well
acquainted with Five Oaks.
In the course of few moments there sud
denly arose faint shouting from the meadows
on the boys left. Mr. Cecil Prince, of Five
Oaks, started as if Van or August had un-
expectedly dropped piece of ice down his
neck.
Squire Copples driving his sheep, guess
remarked Van, quietly.
Happening to turn his head, he observed
that Mr.. Cecil Princes face was extraordi-
narily pale, and that his fine brown eyes glanc-
ed about with peculiar expression.
"Ndgety about that train again." Van
thought. Queer teo when there's another
one fifteen or twenty minutes later"
But Mr.. Prince soon regained his compoure.
and fell to admiring the landscape.
Wonderfully like the Italian country" he
observed.
Thereupon he proceeded to narrate admirably
how he and Mrs. Cecil Prince and "my son.
Wesley" while travelling in that region had
just escaped capture by brigands.
August and Van listened with all their ears.
and were more charmed than ever with man
who had been in Italy, and had met with
adventures there. Doubtless that curious scar
across his right cheek was memento Of some
such affair.
Conversation paused, or rather Mr.. Cecil
Prince did.
"Your horse, Gr," he presently said to An
gust, 'is really a most capital goer If you've
no objection, ia like immensely to take the
ribbons myself"
Certainly, sir" replied August, putting the
reins in the easy-mannered gentlemans 6ng-
ers.
The latter managed to unobtrusively possess
himself Of the whip directly. Phew! How the

And with this remarkably incoherent way

and ieaped aboard a train that Just as he
spoke thundered up
Now that train was the 312 express bound
for New York and, therefore, was moving in
exactly the opposite direction from the one in
which Mr.. Prince had expressed himself as so
anxious to go-Five Oaks.
Mr.. Prince! Mr.. Princep called both Au-
gust and Van together. "Stop, stop, Mr..
Prince! That isn't your train! That's the
New York express"
Van leaped out and rushed over to the de-
pot, and aboard of the long line of cars. But
Mr.. Prince had slipped out of sight The
cars were crowded. and at that moment thew
began to move off.
Van scrambled out, and returned to August

That gentleman had stepped off the train.
so the boys, hailing him, accomplished their
errand concerning the trout without further
trouble, and headed January for a leisurelv

They had just cleared the outskirts of the
village, when, round turn of the highway. an

Rcalin' any Bow"-which may also
have meant any boy-"by such an outlandish
name as August. Jerubabel Bow'd sound
sight better, and that's his own uncles.
But when reminded that heI own name was
Augusta, the worthy old lady became quite
consoled. and later came to regard August
as in sort of eft-handed way, namesaKe
of hers, and, therefore, pet. ;.
This was one reason why, when she oied
recently, she left August sum OF money that
also why years ago, on his sixteenth birth
day, she sent him young horse as pres
Like many another boy under such circum;
stances, August scarcely believed his eyes and
ears when he was introduced to the beautiful
creature, standing between Iopsey and Mag
net in his fathers stables.
"Oh you beauty he remarked conhden-
TALLY to it, after awhile. What high old rides
we shall have together! What's his name?
he asked of the groom that had brought his
new possession over from Aunt Pumper's
"She said that if the name of one month
was good enough for you, sir, the name OF
another would do for your horse" replied the
man, soberly "She's told us to call him Jan
uary ever since he was raised"
August laughed.
"January it isl" he cried gaily.
And chorus of "Whoa, january"
"Hurrah for January" instantly arose from
the other boys, who were invited in, with

all the township, became lively with village

"Van," said August, one afternoon, bring

"jump in and drive over to Bangkok with

to go to Colonel Beaumont's, and ask him
about the young fish, Oh, you've nothing bet,

Van laughed with every one of his white
teeth, and scrambled up into the dog cart.
