During the time intervening between that
day and the Saturday following Harry Lack
wood made it a point to become as well ac-
ouainted with Tom Hathaway as possible. 1t
Soon became evident to those who wished 70
oct in Harry's favor that. in his presence at
Ieast. the boy who did janitor's work for his
tn;tion must be treated with some degree of
courtesy and kindness.
Spurred on by Harry, Alf Rundell managed
to get ready for the excursion between eight
and nine o'clock Saturday morning, and the
trio started out, Harry excited and jubilant,
Inn quiet as ever, and ALI with lazy indif
ference which was always his most promi-
nent characteristic.

continued Harry, in his bright. hearty way,
which was fairly irresistible; but l never
could get near enough to you before to speak,
and had to chase you this time, and ne
teeth. "My chnm, Alf Rundell, pointed you

For a moment Tom looked confused and
seemed undecided whether to crafty his new
acquaintance's curiosity or not.
"Never mind, if you don't want to tell,
said Harry, noticing Toms evident hesitation;
81 didn't know. it was State secret
from Tom, however, the disappointment he
felt and the fisherman said, quickly;
"fhat isn't it: But, you see, ! sell them at
the hotel for fancy price, and hate to have

gratefully. "You don't know how I'm Just
aching to cast fly. III bring ALI along, if
Won don't mind, and well make day of it"
Again Tom looked disturbed, and he answer
ed. a little less graciously than before:
AYou can bring him if you want to; but
I'd much rather have only us two. All Run

ooh. Alf's lazy, but he won't peach. He
isn't a bad fellow either. We used to be

ssWell next Saturday, then said Tom,
nreparing to move on. 1--WE shall have to
Start early too, before it gets hot-eight or
nine o'clock, anyway"
Had he been going alone, Tom would have
set the hour for departure at six O'Clock; but
he decided that indolent Alf Rmdell couldn't
possibly get around before eight.
Tom went on toward home, while Harry re-
turned to his companion, under the shade of
the giant oak.
AS be had said, Harry had been an inmate
of the Phillips Academy but week. In that
short time however, he had made friends and
admirers OF most all the students

though, in those tegs."
"Oh, that!" replied his companion, raising
his head far enough to catch sight of the sub
ject of the others remark, who was plodding
along the dusty road just beyond the bound
airy wall of the academy grounds. THAT 5

This information was delivered in a listless
sort of drawl, characteristic of youth who,
though naturally bright enough, was too lazy
to keep well up In his classes.
His companion, Harry Lockwood however
a quick, active young fellow of seventeen
sprang to his feet, interrupting his friend by
exclaiming:

He leaped the wall and ran hastily down
the road after the retreating fisherman.
Young Hathaway wasn't dressed in exactly

an old faded pair of trousers, flannel shirt
and straw hat with very dilapdated brim.

"Oh, yes," rejoined the fisherman. with
smile, which made his questioner decide at
once that Alf Rundell had been mistaken when
he called Tom Hathaway grouty.

fisherman.

by surprise, for, because of his poverty, his

in the rear. "How much farther, Hatha-

We'll be there, soon," replied Tom Keep

Half an hour later they reached the shore
OF the lake, a narrow, bow-shaped sheet of
water, surrounded by high, wooded banks, its
surface dotted here and there with the broad
leaves and the exquisite blossoms of the wa
ter lily.
Near by they found Light rowboat chained
to sapling on the shore, and as Coloucl

direction Harry rowed out into the lake. But
he had not pulled dozen strokes before he

Soon they reached narrow bend in the
lake where the bushes hung over the water
on either hand, and all got out their tackle,
Harry's ring, for the time, being forgotten.
Even ALI became interested in the sport, and
stuck to his rod much longer than the others
expected him to.

John Lucas was born Of poor but African parents some dozen summers gone, and since that time has been paying most of his attention to his abdominal cavity having frantic desire to keep the same necessarily well filled. As the years went on John became somewhat interested in his olfactory organs and took faint cog nizance of the other uses of the tast- ing buds on his tongue. Lately he besought the West Brothers Drug store for a Job, secured one, and to his un- bounded delight was given a wheea to ride, on which to make errands.
 His first thought was decorative and he tied many ribbons to the bicycle. also stretching rubber bands from the handlebars to the crank block that sung most dismaily while he toiled up hill or yeowled in ecstacy as he sped down a decline.

 The cat one day in dervish- like chase of a mouse around box, over turned a bottle of perfume which pen etrated the atmosphere and savored exceeding sweet in the nostrils of the darkey. Thereafter small bottles of scented waters began to disappear, also cigarettes. and occasionally coins from the till.
