down here. Miss Agony cries over me
and I'd rather be licked any time than
that"
Hartley rumpled the youngsters
hair with his fingers.
SOL" he says, there's good here if
you can get at it. Too much good to
be running to waste. All, hum! Must
be rather pleasant to have one or two
of your own; must make life almost
worth living. That's where you and
have missed It."
you've got plenty of time yet" says
l. Maybe you'll be down in these dig
gings nine or ten year from now with
a family of your own"
He smiled, kind of sad and one
sided. Then he got up and walked out
to the piazza. Redny hung around a
spell, long enough to ask couple mil
lion questions. Then he went into the
parlor with the rest of the young In.

she said, hesitating, why you are here.
Is it true that your health is bad?"

SKIN ERUPTION CURED.
Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful
That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep
Scratched Constantly.
cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven,

When about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips,
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. It
began in October; the first 1 noticed
was little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
Of them. had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat
ment. Then I bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.

We had dinner out doors on the
piazza. While it was going on the
grown-ups didn't do much talking. It's
precious little fun trying to talk
against typhoon and an earthquake
mixed, and that's what them Fresh
Air young ones turned that meal into.
Twas "Hurrah boys! Stand from un-
der!" from the beginning. When 1
want filling up fish plates 1 was dodg-
ing potato skins and similar bou-
quets. They didn't fire 'em at me, you
understand, but it's always the Teller
that's looking on at the row who gets
hit. Redny was cap'n of the gun crew.
He could chuck potato skin with his
left hand and eat with his right and
look pious and shocked all at the same
time.
When the juniors was filled up-and
1t want no SLOUGH of a Job to get 'em
hlled-they went off to start a riot
somewheres else and the Twins and
the girls had a chance. Van got to
telling about Scudder's presents, and he
was funny as usual. That Margaret Tai
ford would laugh until 1 had to join in
just out of sympathy, even though 1
was up to my eyes in soapsuds and
d1shwashing. She was a jolly girl,
that one; pretty and full of snap
and go.
Nothing would do but them "pres-
ents" must go On exhibition. So Van
lugged 'em down from James room
and lined 'em up on the piazza for in
spect1on. He took stick for a, pointer
and gave a lecture about 'em, same
as If they was panorama, pointing
out what he called the feeling" and
atmosphere" of the shell basket and
the perspective" of Marcellus in the
crayon enlargement He had a good
time and SO did everybody else, espe-
cially Miss Talford.
BY and by she clapped her hands.
OH" says she, I've got an idea. Did
you say your man was going to leave
you, Mr.. Van Brunt?"
Van heaved a sigh. eyes" he says.
Il believe he is. l fear that James
hasn't the artistic temperament. con-
fess I'm disappointed He certainly
looked as if he had it; he was sad and
soulful acknowledgements But no;
even the 'Motherless Home didn't ap-
peal to him. He says he's going to-
night"
Il wonder if he would come over to
the school?" says she. I'VE need a
man there, don't we, Agnes? To help
about the place and look out for the
boys, and lowell, to protect u.s.
Lucky james," says Van. But why
James? Won't Martin here door
excuse my blushes-myself?"
But the Talford girl laughed and
said he wouldn't do at all. He lacked
dignity, she said, and didn't look the
part. She asked Miss Page if she
really didn't think that James would
be just the man for them. Agnes said
perhaps he would. So the four of 'em
went away for a walk on the beach
and to talk it over.
I'll bet 1 called that valet ANYTHING

predicted that the world would come
to an end and failed to make his pre-
