young brother. let him continue to think
so.
One lazy afternoon Burton accompanied
his mother and eldest sister to town,

said 10 Jack. who was disappointed when
told that Burton was to spend the after
noon from home He knew there would
be no boating while Burton was absent,

big brother would Shake his head vgor-
ously. saving: Nope, Bulger; you're a
fine oarsman, I'll admit. but you're not
yet big enough TO take White Wings on
the river alone
So Jack sat under big spreading tree
on the lawn, disconsoate. He would
rather row White Wings down the river
than eat ice cream soda, which is saying
a good deal. And he knew that his
mother and sister would keep Burton
away all the afternoon. and on his re-
turn at night it would be too late to go
rowing. Gee. that's just my luck!" said
Jack But just as Jack bewailed his
bad luck the gate leading to the big road
in front of the house opened and into the
yard came Billy and Daisy Baker. neigh

fact. when speaking of his and Bur-

always violated a rule of grammar by
mentioning himself first. Il and Burton

"Oh. may We Co.. too?" asked Daisy

So off the four youngsters set, going to
the little cove where the boat was moor
ed. Daisy and Rosie were put in the
boat before it was united: then. while
Jack held the rope, Billy took his place
on one of the rowers' seats, steadying
the boat with the oars while Jack got in.
Jack got pretty wet in doing so, for the
boat began to leave the shore the mo-
ment she was united.
"Ah, now we're all right" said Jack,
taking up one pair of oars. Then he fell
to making long sweeps with them, getting
the boat into the middle of the stream.
He also instructed Billy in the use of the
other oars. and together the two took the
boat along pretty lively, or they imagined
that they did. But the fact is, the cur
rent of the river carried them along, and

In response to Jacks call Rosie came

Of accident to White Wings entered their
minds When they had tired of walking
about they returned to the spot where
they had left their boat To their horror
the boat was gone. They could see it
drifting down stream. carried on and on
by huge bunch of driftwood Evidently
this same floating mass of driftwood had
struck against the boat while passing it
and had dragged it from the edge of the
sand bar.
To say that Jack was almost frantic
would only be telling the truth. He had
brought out Burt's boat-had caused 1t
to be lost. He had brought out his sister
and friends and through his foolhardiness
had them marooned on an island which
was not in sight of any habitation. Their
combined voices would not carry to either
the Bakers farm half mile distant UP
the river, or to the shack of an old boat
man. half a mile down the river. What
should they do? The dilemma was Segi-

homes.

Then on their knees they dropped and
prayed that fairy might come to them.

Fred. Then the fisherman was lost to the

After an hour had passed by Fred

That evening Bobby's mother was
greatly pleased when her little son

wild blackberries. "Why, son, l was

Then an idea came to Mrs Jackson.

added, as Bobby finished pouring the ber-

To Bobby's surprise his mother took
from her purse 81 cents and handed it to
him. For the berries, she said. Il

oars occasionally to guide it Alright to

was in the middle of the river.

THE history of the settlement of Virginia
reads like romance. The first English
man to attempt To found colony in America
was Sir Humphrey Gilbert. He sailed from
home in 1883. with five ships and 2oo men, but
after landing at Newfoundland and sailing down
the coast he grew discouraged. for one of his
ships had deserted him. another had been sent
back with the sick and discontinued. While still
another had been wrecked On the way back
his ship was wrecked at and all board
lost.
Sir Walter Raleigh. the favorite OF Queen
Elizabeth, made the second attempt. in 1884.
He had two ships. commanded by Philip Auidas

leigh pleased with the fertile country. In
honor OF the Virgin Queen he called 1t Vir-

Bobbys mother kissed him and declar-
ed he had the right heart in his breast,
and said that he should give her two
quarts of berries each day-providing he
gathered many more quarts to sell.
The next morning Bobby was up and
away to the blackberry patch before his
household was astir. He took two big
baskets on his arms and his snake stick
over his shoulder. but he found no use
for the latter. though he decided il was
lust as well TO .be prepared for war in
time OF peace. Before the sun marked
the hour of noon he had filled his baskets
and was on the road leading for home.
His mother met him with an encouraging
smile. breakfast is waiting for you.

baskets. ''Oh, what fine lot of berries.
But. tell me- are there no other persons

Hurriedly swallowing a bite of break
fast. which his fond mother had pre-
pared nice and hot for him on seeing
him coming over the country road, Bobby
took his baskets and returned to the
blackberry patch. That evening he and
his mother measured his stock of berries
and found. that he had twenty quarts for
sale and two quarts for his mother.

Mrs. Jackson after the fruit had been

'.I'Il sell to all the people living on our

plan and let him take his baskets on his
arms and "go forth to SELL An hour
