"Going nowhere" said he; Gust walking

He came along, and as we did not stop
more than ten times to chase squirrels and
examine holes that looked as if they might
contain woodchuekss, it was only one o'clock

been showing around for week.
By the greatest good luck also met at the

the Clarence" part of it-although we might
have reasoned that he wasn't responsible
for his name.
But we didn't reason. and as he appeared
to be middling good sort of chap, we just
put up job on him to see what sort of stuff
he was made Of.
There was big log lying across Wilson's
Greek that had popularity only known to
The initiated. There was something the mat
ter with its centre Of gravity 1--WE boys said
Il was "out Of kelter'') SO that it was neces-
sary to walk on its right side. If you walked
on the plumb centre. as a person naturally
would, the log would gently roll over, just
enough to land the uninitiated walker into
the creek.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-02

When we came to this log, Hank and
skipped across very fast, so that Clarence
wouldn't notice anything out of the way.
He followed bravely enough, although it is
scary feat for city boy, and of course
when he got about to the middle he went
"kerplunk" into the water.
We were prepared for him as he waded
out; if he whimpered, we would send him
home; if he showed fight we would whip
him.
But he did neither. He came out as cool
as ice, with pleasant laugh, and if he sus-
pected the trick, he never betrayed his knowl-
edge, ggs;, !, ;,
he said, giving himself a little shake.
If his name had been Tom we couldn' t
have liked him better after that speech, and
| remember that was the first time 1 began to
think that city boy might amount to some
thing-with good training.
But we didn't confess our share in the dis
aster, and a wild turkey coming in sight just
then, relieved us from any embarrassment
we might have left.
After the fruitless chase was ended we
by occasional excursions after squirrels and
birds that we never had the slightest show
of catching.
Clarence turned out to be still more capi-
straighter than any one Of us, he was much
aeeter of foot and the impression grew on
me, that he could have whipped all of us
and wonder now he didn't.
About three o'clock we came to Stump
Lake. l don't know who gave it such an
odious name, for it was a very pretty sheet
of water, with shaded banks and the best
place for swimming for miles around.
There was only one drawback-the turn
pike commanded an excellent view of the
lake, and we boys had to wear bathing trunks.
l can't imagine the reason, but know that
we regarded this mandate as an almost in
isufferable hardship.
But we had to submit, and so we always
kept our trunks in hollow oak tree ready
for use. The reason had mine at home was
because they were new pair.
"Can you swim?". I asked Clarence.
Cause if you can. you may have my old
trunks"
l expected he would say he was afraid of
the water, but that was another surprise.
He could swim all around us, as we soon dis
covered to our chagrin. In addition, he knew
about twenty fancy ways of swimming, of
which he gave us an exhibition until we were
green with envy.
The water was deliciously cool. and / know
1 never enjoyed swimming SO much in nv
life. We raced and ran and dived, we had
swimming matches for unlimited amounts
payable on doomsday )and we f1oated on our
backs for ten minutes at stretch
1t seemed to me that could swim forever.
and the others were of the same mind: so
we kept it up until the lengthening shadows

The sun rose at the usual hour as bright

The cows know it, and after they were
