At the moment that Hank and Bet be-
held him he was cleaning dried dirt from

anyway. He can't do anything but re-

So saying. Hank approached the boy
whose name was Jimmy Malone-and said ;
Say. Jim. don't you know me? I'm Mr..
Jones kid. Pa has the grocery store up
town-the one by the post office you
know
''Oh. yes said Jimmy. putting down
the spade to chat with the boys. Yes. I
know your pa. l often go there on err
rands for Mrs Perkins
We'll. us kids-a lot of us-are down
here on the river camping explained
Hank. And we've decided to do some
cave digging. if we can get the imple-
ments to dig with. Now. we want to Dor
row those spades you have there. If Mr..
Perkins was here he'd let us take 'em
right Off
Jimmy looked undecided. II don't know
about that" he said. beginning to clean
the spade. MIR. Perkins is awful par
ticular about his machinery and tools. He
gives orders that nothin in the tool shop
be loaned
''Oh, he'd not refuse me. kid declared
Hank, determined now upon getting pos
session of the desired spades. Come. let
me take them. I'll give you my word that
they'll both be returned to YOU early this
evening
But | mustn't let anything go out of
the mill while Mr.. Perkins is away, in
sisted Jimmy. And thereupon he took
the spades and put them in the imple-
ment shop which was attached to the
mill
Hank and Bert turned away; but as
they did so Hank called out to Jimmy.
Wen get even with you yet kid, for
your smartness. So-lOngi
That's all right. laughed back Jimmy.
Then. whistling merrily, he went about
his work.
few days later Mr. Perkins sent jim
my on an errand to farm a mile dis

kids-I'm afraid they'll smother .
We've got to get EN- out" declared
Jimmy. Here. get To work with me;
there's no time for footing
Then came a faint wall from the inte-
rior of the cave. which was a chamber of
some six feet square, and which the cave
diggers'' had found on charging one OF
the little tunnels running into 1t from the
outside. But SO much dirt had crumbled
into the entrance tunnel. which was about
four feet I'm length and eighteen inches in
height, that Jimmy and the rescued boy
tby name. Dan Smith) had some difficulty
in reaching the imprisoned boys. But
Jimmy felt sure that enough air entered
through the loose soil to keep the boys
inside the cave alive for some time. and
their cries for help assured him in this
supposition, for every minute he could
hear them yelling at the top of their

And Jimmy would call back to them:
BE patient. Well soon show you day

time that he encouraged them ne worked
like a trooper. digging with fury that
astonished the less vigorous Dan Smith
After about ten minutes of work
Jimmy. with some aid from Dan. had a

F." OR two whole long years Paula
had lived with an aunt. And
" the aunt was a maiden lady,
which means she had never been
married, and was therefore,
without a family of her very own. And
as Paula would say to herself sometimes.
"a lady without husband and childrenA
of her very own doesn't know much about
really and truly happiness; and lot know
ing about really and truly happiness
makes one a bit sOured." at any rate,
that was the way with Paula's aunt,
lady of fifty, who lived in fine big
house in the country during the whole
year round, and whose friends were all
like herself: very dignified, very quiet.
very particular about little matters OF
dress and etiquette; and especially very
particular about the conduct Of children.
But the worst part of 1T was there were
no children in Paula's aunts household
There was only a child-that child being
Paula. And In the whole neighborhood
there were few little folks, for nearly all
the people living about Paula's aunt were
old folks, their children having grown up
and married, going into the world yon
their own account. There were few
grandchildren who visited with some OF
the grandmammas and grandpapas In the
neighborhood, but they seldom stayed
very long at time; so it happened that
little Paula had few playmates. and some
of the time she had only her toys and her
Aunt Agnes for company-I was going to
say for comrades. but toys and aunts can
not be comrades: at least, so 1t was with
Paula's aunt and toys. Surely. she loved
her aunt as dearly as she could-under
the circumstances: and she enjoyed her
dollies and Teddy bear and all that sort
of thing But none OF them were chill
tlren, real little comrades, such as Paula
longed for.
And each evening after her supper
Paula was put to bed at half past Z,
whether, there was company or not. And
when there was company she would beg
her aunt to allow her to remain up to
hear them talk and to watch the games
of cribbage or chess usually INDUCED In
by the old gentlemen. while the old ladies
chatted over their light needlework. Not
that Paula cared for the games or the
chat about the needlework, but 1t meant
remaining up a bit longer in the even
ings, a thing that Paula, like most little
ones loved to do.
One evening Paula saw her Aunt Agnes
making special preparation as II for COM
pany. The parlor was opened to admit

He's all right" said Bert. batting his
eyes to keep back tears of emotion. he
srasped .'immY's shoulder and pressed 1t
in a boNiSh way. trying to show his
gratitude. And. Ike Capt Hank CT the

self that l could hide my head in hole
and not look anybody in the face for q
month"
Well you've had about all the hiding
in hole you ought to want for a life
time. laughed Jimmy. too kind-hearted
and forgiving to entertain resentment
against the boys who had been SO unkind
to him short time before. And now
must be off to attend to my errand. I'll
get good scolding for having been so
long about Il. too If don't look out.
NO. you won't get a scolding. Jimmy.
for 1 mean for us boys to go in a body
to the mill and report to Mr.. Perkins
your heroic conduct. And. what's more.
l mean to make clean breast OF the way
We treated YOU a few minutes before the
cave-n of the tunnel. And I'll also tell
how we wanted you to lend US the spades
and picks belonging TO the mill. Oh.
shant keep back a thing. even X the
truth and the whole truth does put me in
a bad light"
And were with you. Capt. Hank"
cried five voices. and the cave digGers
meant every word Of what they said.
That day on Jmmys return 10 the mill
be found the cave diggers assembled In
Mr.. Perkins private office. on the top
floor OF the mill And from the way Mr..
Perkins greeted Jimmy he knew the "cat
was out Of the bag" as he expressed il
afterward. And so it was. and Mr.. Per-
kins was so pleased with his little
rousty' that he gave him the afternoon
off to go merrymaking with the cave
dggers, and slipped a dollar bill into
his hands besides. That's to buy any
little gimcracks in town that you might
want" he explained. "And now. remem-
Der. you are to have a day off each week
and a dollar bill with which to celebrate
the holiday. When l get hold of an hon.
est. brave and Industrious boy l mean to
make it worth his while to stay with me.
And now get you off. young fellows and
put in the remainder of the day above
ground. Let caves and cave digging
alone"
Eyes. sir; thank YOU said Hank bow
ing to Mr.. Perkins. And we're going to
make Jimmy our captain. i resign in his
favor. A captain should be brave, and
today 1 proved my unworthiness to the
office"
And amidst a cheer from the six threats
Jimmy was led from the mill, and was
called Capt Jimmy the Brave

so much! l want my home-our pretty,
coy fiat in the city; my school-where
so many boys and girls go also! Oh, L
want all my happy times back again, l
v ant mamma and papa and children
Aunt Agnes Is good enough-in her way.
but she isn't mamma and papa. Oh.
when will my papa and mamma return to
me?"
Then, sobbing -breakingly, Paula
fell asleep. for the evening was quiet
and warm and a cricket somewhere CHR
ruped to her. soothing the poor little
sorrowing soul into forgetfulness. And
while she slept she dreamed, oh. such a
lovely dream. a dream Of happiness She
dreamed that her papa and mamma had
returned and that once more they were
In their coy city fiat, the windows of
which overlooked a beautiful park. And
it was the very same park where Paula
used to go of summer evenings with her
parents to listen to the band. And how
jolly they all were-papa. mamma and
Paula. And she was allowed to stay up
till almost 9 O'Clock at night when there
was company and not forced to go to bed
at $780, as was her habit at Aunt Agnes
home
And then some one shook her shoulder.
and warm lips pressed themselves against
her cheek, while a dear and loving voice
whispered in her ear: Come. darling
little daughter. open your pretty blue
eyes and see who has come back to you
from away across the sea-
And Paula opened her eyes to behold
her own dear mother bending over her.
while coming through the door was her
papa. all eagerness and happy smiles
as he called out TO her: Hello, darling
grille. Here's old Dad at home again
How's the world wagging with you. little
daughter"
And such happiness as they all en-
joyed that evening could not be described
Even Aunt Agnes warmed up bit and
laughed more than was her wont. Ano
when half past eight O'Clock arrived she
glanced Uneasily at the clock, and ther
at Paula, but said never a word Il
Paula's parents did not know enough tt
send their child to bed it was not hei
place to remind them. So thought the
very severe but well-lneaning old Aunt
Agnes.
"And did you know that papa ano
mamma were coming today?" asked Paula
of her aunt as they all sat at the supper
table, where an unusually fine repas,
was served in honor of the dear ones
