A couple Of hours later Hughie, roaring
very gently for SO great lion. was en-
gagged in padding Canadian canoe down
to Ditton Corner.
The canoe contained one passenger, who.
with feminine Indifference to the infiex-

ped by convenient cushions, was wedged
into the bow Of the vessel. and her white

Hughes. Her hat lay on the floor of
the canoe, half full of cherries. and her
afternoon sun. Miss Joan Gaymer would
be beauty some day, but for the present
all knowledge of that fact was being tact
fully withheld from her. To do her JUS

her but little. Like most small girls of

present as to resemble small boy as
closely as possible. She would rather

AUTHOR OF 1.-THE RIGHT STUFF"

Miss Gaymer wondered what it was all
about.
Hughie found an opportunity before the
day was over Of holding another brief
conversation with his uncle in the course
Of which he expressed an opinion on the
advantages Of immediate and extensive
foreign travel which sent that opponent
of early marriages back to town in a
thoroughly satisfied frame OF mind.

Overlooked PeriIs.

The danger that lurked in the over
grown Industrial corporation was at
first but dimly perceived. A few orig
inal thinkers-were quick to proclaim
that the government must fetter the
predatory plutocrats, or be fettered
by them. The average American was
then accustomed to worship the for.
tune that was reckoned in nine figures
and never stopped to ask himself what
the fortune meant. In truth. 1t was
commonly thought that a Rockefeller,
or a Carnegie, grew suddenly rich,
merely because he had unique genius
for money-getting. The mystery is a
mystery no longer. The Rockefellera
and the Carnegies had a genius for
money-getting. to be sure, yet their
genius would have counted for com
paratively little without the advan'
tages which preferential railway tar
IFS and secret rebates gave. A for
tune running into the hundreds o.
millions never has been, nor ever car
be. amassed within the brief span o.
forty years, except amid abnormal
conditions.-Boston Herald.
