apples within easy reach of his hand than he
could carry home.
Five minutes suficed to fill Che pillow
slip, and then with vast sigh Of relief, he
crawled back over the fence, hastened across
the field and came to the fence beside the
road.
Knowing nothing of the squire's whist club,
he took it for granted that all danger was
practically over, and without looking to right
or left, he tossed his bag over the fence and
vaulted lightly after it,
Hardly had his feet touched the ground
than sharp, suspicious bark came from only
few yards away, and the. next moment
collie dog, followed closely by fox terrier,
looming dimly through the darkness the port
ly form of their owner could be deserted, as
he demanded, angrily:
"Who are you? and what are you about?"
Charlie could have answered both questions
easily enough had he chosen to do SO. But
the time did not seem to him altogether favor
able, and instead of a verbal reply, he picked
up his pollow-slip, threw it over his shoulder
and took to his heels, with the dogs after
him in full cry.
"Catch him, Grip-catch him, Oscar!"
shouted the squire to his dogs, as he joi1ed
in the chase with all his might.
Although hardly in condition for a sprint
ing match, Squire Ribston had been renowned
for feetness of foot in his younger days, and
he showed a surprising turn of speed as he
dashed down the road after the fleeing boy.
Now, had Charlie dropped his heavy pillow
slip, he might have distanced his human pur-
suer easily, and as the dogs seemed to be
content with barking, and to have no idea OF
biting, the irate squire would never have
known more about the daring raider of his
orchard than his strong suspicion that it was
one of those rascally Twin Elm boys.
But to let go his burden was the last thing
Charlie thought of doing.
To his daring, determined nature only two
alternatives presented themselves escape
with his booty or capture red-handed.
So away he sped, holding tight to the pill
low-case. the collie and terrier punctuating
his strenuous strides with short, sharp ,barlls.
After his first furious sprint, the squire's
speed rapidly slackened until it became little
more than labored jog-trot, and by the time
he reached the entrance to the long avenue
leading from the main road to the academy
Charlie was under the window and Jerking
the sheet-rope by way of signal to the boys
to haul him up.
Unfortunately, they were so occupied with
some of their nonsense, that they did not AT
first observe the signal, and precious moments
were lost before they responded, SO that
Charles anxious ears caught the sound of
the squires painting as he toiled gamely along
the avenue.
"Hurry up boysl" he called, as loudly as
he dared "The squire's after mel"
The boys responded with sudden Jerk that
snatched him off the ground, and nearly

posed in him by proving his proves as an
apple stealer
The. August pippins in Squire Ribston's
orchard were reported to be ready to drop
into ones mouth. Upon the novice, Charles
Draper, devolved the perilous dut- of secur~
ing generous sample of those juicy golden
globes, SO that the ancient and honorable
order might pronounce judgment on their ex-
celence.
As soon as he understood this, Charlie be-
gan to wish he had not been in such hurry
to join the society. He had been at Twin
Elm long enough to learn that old Squire
Ribston,' 8 dogs were as good in their way as
his apples were in THEIRS and he did not at
all relish the prospect of having an argument
with them in their own territory at the dead
of night.
Each member had brought sheet with
him. These were quickly converted into a
rope, which reached from the window of the
archroom to the ground.
putting on his shoes, Charlie, amid the whis-
pered commands of his companions-to "Be
sure and fill the pillow Slip" Don't call the
dogs bad names" "Give the compliments of
the order to the squire if you happen to
meet him." and other inspiring injunctions-
climbed carefully out of the window, and let
himself down hand over hand to the ground
Pausing only to kiss his hand circus-fashion
to the faces at the window, he fastened off
noiselessly over the dew-aden grass in the
direction of the squire's orchard
He knew his route well enough, and the dis
tance was not quite half mile, so that few
minutes quick walking brought him to his
destination.
Charlie, therefore, thought it well to leave
the road before he reached the gate, and to
take a slant through the fields that brought
him up to the orchard fence about fifty yards
behind the house.
Here he crouched down and listened, with
strained ears and throbbing pulses, for the
slightest sound that might indicate the prox-
unity of dog. But not howl or bark, or
even snif1, broke the clover-scented stiffness
As it CHANGED, he had hit upon a particu-
larly favorable night for his enterprise. the
good squire being wont to spend his Friday
evenings with admirable regularity at Doctor
Aconite's, where the genial rector of ST.
Davids and important Judge Surrebutter
helped to make quartet that could play
whist by the hour without so much as wink
ing.
For the sake of company on the way home
the squire always took his dogs with him So
that until his return, which was never Later
than eleven o'clock. the Ribston premises
were entirely unguarded.
Encouraged by the perfect silence. Charlie
gently got over the fence. and making his
way to the August pippin-tree, set diligently
to work to fill his pillow-slip.
The boughs We're bending low beneath
their weight of the juicy fruit, and he had no
need to shake them. There were far more

But he was not halfway to the window

his expectations, for the stick, going sti ight
to its mark, gave Charlie such a singing
blow, that he involuntarily let go of the
weghtyy pillow-slip, and down il. dropped full
upon the squire's. pate, crushing his tall,
gray, beaver over his eyes and sending him
headlong to the ground.
1t was some moments before he could pick
himself. up again, and by that time Charlie
was safe inside the window. Beside himself
with wrath, the squire assailed the front door
with ferrous blows, bringing both the tutors
out in startled haste.
To them, as well as his breathless disor-
dered condition permitted, he explained him
self and was at once invited to enter, while
MIR. Butler went for Professor Rodwell.
On the professors arrival all the boys were
summoned to appear in the schoolroom
An anxious, expectant hush following,
Professor Rodwell addressed the boys in grave
yet not unkindly tones:
young gentlemen, it is clear beyond pos
sibility of denial, that some of you have been
guilty of robbing Squire Ribston's orchard.
Now, dare say, it will not be difficult to
trace out the culprits, but would much pre-
fer that they should acknowledge their
wrong-doing of their own accord. I, there
fore, wait to give them the opportunity"
There was but moments pause, and then
Charlie Draper, stepping forward, said in
steady voice, looking full at Professor Rod
well:
"It was that took Squire Ribston's an.
pies. Let me bear all the punishment"
A look of mingled surprise and relief came
into the professors troubled face and even
the squires anger.wrinkled countenance SEEM
ed to take on softer expression, touched
with approval of this frank avowai.

Professor Rodwell, slowly.

boy that saved my little grandson, Hughie,
from drowning in Deep Pool, week ago?"
eyes, Squire, the same boy" replied tie
professor, beginning to catch the old gentle
mans drift.
"Then," cried the Squire, 81 don't want this
thing to go any further. Here's my hand,
my brave lad you're welcome to every
apple on the tree. Come, now, Professor
Rodwell, let's cry quits. If your boys Will
promise never to so out robbing orchards
again, I'll promise to let 'em into my or

apple, they, find in the grass so long as the
crop lasts"

the first time since his coming to Twin Elm
Academy that he had been the recipient of
one of these much -prized missives, and trepi-
dation because he had very vague notions of
what his accepting the invitation it bore
might entail.
He was new boy, just finishing his first
month at the academy, and, being of rather
reserved disposition. had been slow in form
ing acquaintance.
A few days before this communication from
bathing in the river near Deep Pool. A
youngster who could not swim rashly VEN
tured too near the pool, and disappeared in
chorus of cries from his companions, but no
intelligent effort was being made at rescue,
when Charlie Draper, who had not been Of
the party, came rushing up, threw off his
cap and coat, plunged into the pool, and
brought out the drowning boy at the first try.
OF course he was a hero at once, and the
leaders Of the "a. & H. o. A. S."-the secret
society Of the academy, of which Charlie had
already heard much. and admittance to which
was the desire of his heart-lost no time in
the right sort, and that he must become one
of them forthwith. Hence the short but SIG.
nlticant summons, whose contents have been
already given.
Promptly at ten o'clock Charlie, in his
stocking feet and provided with pillow-slin
and sheet. crept cautiously up the long stars
that led to the arch-room.
Bearing his note of invitation as pass
port, Charley approached the door of the
chamber of horrors.
The moment he passed the portals two
masked and draped figures seized him
by either arm and hurried him before
another figure occupying a sort of throne
at the far corner of the room.
Then followed a lot of the usual elaborate
nonsense such as boys delight to invent and
execute in connection with their secret socie-
ties, and, at the end of fifteen minutes or so
Charlie, flushed and excited, but Triumphant
was handed gown and mask, and Informed
by the figure on the throne, whose official
title was the same as the signature To tbe
invitation, that he was duly admitted into to
the membership of the society, whose fnII
name he now learned was The Ancient and
Honorable Order of Apple Stealers.
The next piece of information he received
rather staggered him. 1t was that, accordios
to the rules of the society, he must at once
