asked him if he was not afraid of thieves
sCeaIlng them but he laughed and said they
had no thieves in those parts. There, as you
Will see presently. he was wrong.
Then, besides the farm, there was the nice
old fashioned garden, and the orchard, and
the tlsh-pond with the little island in the
middle OF it, with its big willow tree and
was my chief delight.
1t was not long before l resolved to take
possession of this island, the monarch of all
| surveyed-in fact, become another Robin
son Crusoe on limited scale.
The way to get on to my island was across
monplace manner for me-in fact, l should
liked to have blown it up with gunpowder
as to make my desolate home more com
plete; but as this no doubt would have
been objected to, simply ignored the struc-
ture. and got Mr.. George to let me have an
old oval mash-tub in which, after making
it water-tight, fixed a seat by mailing
plank across it; another plank shaped into
a paddle, and proud was l when l success
fully launched my craft and padded around
the island, being able by ducking very low
to pass under the bridge.
Here l could be as solitary as / wished
when l wanted to be deserted islander, for
my island was right at the bottom of the
long garden, between it and the orchard,
where the young apples were no bigger than
CHERRIES, so no one WOulQ want TO come and
gather them.
There was a padlocked gate at one corner
leading out into a lane, but that was never
used.
Then 1 manufactured small tent out of a
piece of sail-cloth Mr.. George gave me and
two clothes-props. The longest L cut in half
for the uprights, the other l used as a cross
piece, over which l stretched the cloth, peg
ged it down. and then / was snugly housed
This | pitched in the most secluded part
facing the orchard; the bridge was on the
garden side.
Sometimes on warm, sunny afternoons
would lie beneath my tent. my trusty (un-
loaded) fint-lock to my hand in case
should be surprised by savages; or l would
of an evening sit patiently in my mash-tub
canoe with rod and line, hoping one of the
three broad backed old carp, who lazily doz-
ed at the bottom of the clear water, would
be tempted to try little of my paste bait;
but they were too indolent for that even
when | bobbed it against their black noses
But my great desire was to sleep all night
on the island, and when my parents went one
day to Buffalo and would not be back until
the next, and the evening-a warm, lovely
evening came, felt so tempted 10 camp out

to the other side of the pond, where nv bark
was moored, pushed off, landed on the island

up in my blanket, prepared to go to sicen.
But the novelty of the situation prevented
me. Still, it was jolly, and began thinking

go in. If it is, l will.
Throwing the blanket off me, 1 crawled
out OF the tent and began working my way
TO the bridge through the tangled shrubs,
and had nearly got clear of them, when 1
saw something that made me start, and my
heart to beat; fer, silently crossing the little
bridge, were two figures, carrying a bundle
between them.
/ went down on my knees and peered
through the bushes. The figures came on
the island, and quietly laid their burden on
the. ground. 1t looked like something in a
sack.
!, "There! Now yer satisfied, s,'pose," said
the taller of the two, in low, discontented
voice. Now, l s'pose yer'll go and get the
wagon. Though, why yer wants me to wait
for yer on this blessed rats nest I dunno"

summer holidays began then in June, and
it was in that leafy month we started of
to a delightful old farmhouse in Western

My father soon felt the beneht OF the pure
country air.
1t was a charmingly quaint, many.gabled
farmhouse, quite century old, with all kinds
of funny old hooks and corners in it. Great
oak beams ran across the ceilings, even IN
the sitting and the wide fireplaces
were little rooms in themselves, with genu
inc iron dogs for the logs to burn on.

IS ISSUED

The Electrical Workers union to-
day made demand that con-
tractors sign an agreement to pay
the present scale Of wages to their
men and that they will employ no
other tradesmen affiliated with the
Structural Building Trades alliance
OF this city except those carrying
cards issued by this alliance. In
return the journeymen electrical
workers agree to continue at work
upon the present scale of s. per day
and that no union affiliated with
this alliance will attempt to make
any changes of either hours or
wages without first giving 80 days
notice TO the contractors.
Union men say today that there
must be some binding contract be-
tween the electrical workers and
the contractors in order 10 hold
either side to their promise, for al
though the contractors have prom.
ised to live up to their recent YER
bal agreement. they have told out
siders that they did not intend to
carry out their promises.
Contractors have been given till
8 o'clock this evening to decide. II
the agreement is not signed by a
majority of them by this time, Sec
rotary Allen, of the Electrical
Workers union, declares that all
the men will be called out Of the
shops.
Much dissention is looked for
among members of the Contractors
association, as several of them
seem to be willing to sign. while
many others declare they will not.
The trouble arising between the
electrical workers and Thomas Oh
son over the wiring of the new
building which the latter is erect
ing on Bernard ST. has been settled
and the men have all returned to
work.
