"We'll be fishing from the dock when

began again, to rapidly change to a
sharp staccato bark. The high pow
cred motor ran so smoothly and they
slipped through the water 80 easily

they were going until she turned to

it was rapidly dwindling.

Mabel been left behind, too, he could
not have come to the rescue. 1t was
only lovers quarrel, but for two
weeks it had made him miserable to
think of it. He was too proud to beg
when he was in the right, and he could
not tell from her laughing face that
she was as miserable as he.
Don't you wish Mabel was here?''
demanded Kitty. receiving no reply to
her first remark.
Sure" he answered, "but she's on

He perched the child ON a dry goods

the street. Kitty looked out over the
lake at the departing steamboat, but
her tears had dried. There was some
thing so comforting about Guy Blanch-

so kind to little folks. He would do
something; he said he would.
Presently she heard a soft coughing

Pardonable Offenses.

After careful canvass these have
been found to be pardOnable sins:
Lying about fish. One can hardly k
expected in explaining the length OF
his fish to use a microscope.
Saying you're not at home. This
the pardonable sin Of social circles usu
ally, and Of men who have calls from
collectors frequently.
Lying about your remarkable chill
dren. OF course fellow doesn't real
ly lie. but when he thinks Of something
bright his four-year-old might have
said he hesitates through modesty to
admit authorship. and SO it is properly
attributed to the four-year-old.
Suppressing, altering or otherwise
Disgusting the facts of your age, false
hair and wrinkles.

He Was a Good Booster.

A minister was assigned to small
New England town not long ago and
upon his arrival found his new field Of
effort almost all that could be wished,
with one exception, this exception be-
ing old Bill Johnson. Old Bill was
very much addicted to looking upon
the wine when it was red and the
new minister at once announced his
intention to bring him to- see the error
Of his ways.
WAL of course, we know you mean
right, parson," one of the elders said
slowly. stroking his white beard, but
it would be mighty bad thing for the
town if old Bill was to quit drinkin'."
why. what do you mean, brother?"
the puzzled minister asked.
WAL, parson, it's like this" the
elder explained. There amt a more
convincin' talker nowhere than old
Bill, an every time he gets drunk
and sobers up he gets somebody to
sign the pledge with him, an the other
fellow pretty nearly always keeps it,

island. and the Republic would take
an hour and half Kitty was so full
of her new idea that she forgot the
earlier conversation, and Blanchard

was safely landed without having pur
sued her investigation further He
was backing away from the dock when
she called to him. He ran alongside
again.
You forgot your fare" she remind
ed as her little arms went about his
neck and the full red lips were laid
against his own.
Il am afraid that 1 am a poor cap

laughed. Take care of yourself, kid

He was clear of the dock now. and
the launch gained speed. At the
south end of the island was little
cove where he could 60 ashore and
have lunch. 1t was a short task to
broil the ham over the Goals and heat
the coffee. Then he filed his pipe and
lay back to enjoy a smoke before
starting back to town.
The cove was difficult of access from
the picnic grounds, and not even an
echo of the merry makers reached him.
He drowsed of and finally fell asleep
to dream Of Mabel.
He reused to find her sitting On the
sand beside him.

guests" she scolded in mock anger.

said. "How did you know l was

kitty said you had gone of to have
picnic by yourself, and 1 guessed
where you had come. You brought me

Proerastination and Ideals.

A man is much less apt to fall in
love at twentyseven than at twenty
two and woman Is much less likely
to be fallen in love with at twenty Ave
than at twenty. The damsel therefore
who makes up her mind that the prop
er age for her to marry is twenty-five
ard the proper age for her husb ad
twenty eight and who acts up to this
idea in her youthful days runs a great
risk Of achieving something quite diff
ferent from her IDEAL ondon Truth.
