more agreeable one of the recently organized
club resumed.
Abe was astir early in the morning and
he lost no time In visiting the barn, where
he found Jack Foulweather just leaving the
hay NOW. He asked the man to come up to
his house to breakfast, offer the sailor
finally accepted.
About this time OH Oates was leaving his
home, when he was both surprised and fright;
ened by the approach of Sam Flutters and
two boon associates.
He started back in the hope that he had
not been seen. but in that he was mistaken,
for Sam called out:
Come here, OIL I wanteer, see YER
What do you want of me"

on knew well enough what the boy meant,
and be hastened to say:

Don't you dare to come into my housel III
.Sam had no intention of doing that, and
finally, finding that Oh would not come out,
he turned away, saying:
"Take yer own time for it, coward! But
yer Jest remember thet III lick yer nigh
bout ter death. the fust time l ketch yer
away from yer house!"
Before school time everybody in the Pinery
must have known Of the new boat club, for
it was the topic on every tongue Sam Flut-
ters and his mates were loud in their denun
citation of the way they had been treated, and
in going to the school Abe met the crowd
the leader exclaiming:
"Think yer hev done smart thing, ole
Longshanks, s'pose, by snealtin' in yer pets
ter yer boat club, without lettin' US feilers
know erbout it. Air yer goiu' to let us know
when yer hev yer next meetT'
Abe made no reply to this, and as he kept
on the party shook their fists toward him,
while he heard the leader taunting him with
cowardice.
AS Abe was anxious to get his boat fin
school, and HIS object in going to the barn

be peaceably disposed, and Abe conceived a
strong liking for him.
Though he said nothing to the rest, the
newly elected captain of the Pine Phmes
had been puzzled to know how they were to
get the information necessary for them to
manage q boat with dexterity.
OF course, all were more or less used to
handling "fat-bottoms," but they lacked the
skill and knowledge they must have, in order
to enter q race with another club. Now
it seemed the very teacher they needed had
come unheralded into their midst.
Abe asked Jack to come to his house TO
stop the rest Of the night, but the man de-
clined.
'T amt in ship-shape, lad. ! reckon hev
slowed in wuss hunks n this"
Finding that no persuasion could change
Jack from his purpose, Abe and the boys
bade him good night, after exacting a prom
ise from him not to go away in the morning
until they had arranged for him to give them
q lesson in rowing
"I'l bet you my cap he won't be there in
the morning" said on. Better let one Of

was to invite the pupils and teacher to go
and see the evidence of his handicraft-an
offer that was gladly accepted.
IL was unanimously voted to visit the place
as soon as the afternoon session of the school
had ended
Abe was in uncommonly good spirits, as
Jack Foulwcather had offered to lend him
assistance in putting the finishing touches
to the boat.
Naturally, the old sailor had expected only
. clumsy specimen of boyish work in the
boat; thus his surprise and admiration were
unbounded at the sight of the graceful craft
the young boat builder had hewn out of the
giant pine tree.
With no instructor, and only such tools
as he had been able to obtain Abes work
was really marvel of youthful ingenuity
and perseverance. The boat was long and
slender, with prov, made to eeave the wa.
ter like keen-edged knife. Even Jack had
very little criticism to offer, and observed
nothing but what could be easily remedied.
Abe and Jack worked steadily at their
task all of the forenoon, but had returned
to resume their work in the afternoon, when
they were surprised by the appearance of
Rose York, who said:

SYNOPSIS.

When Abe York tried to form boat club
Of the -Pinery boys, to rival the one at Arma-
dale, ten miles below on Sunny River. he was
&mased by discovering that not one OF them
could write.
This deplorable ignorance led him to do
something towards their education. He sue
teeded In having school started, and, In q
fcw days, most OF the boys were able TO write
their own names. Then. Abe called the pro-
hcient ones together and 13 In oil, Including
himself, signed the constitution and by-iaws
Abe was elected captain; OIL Oates, secre-
tary; Rose York, treasurer; and the cluo was

his followers. The previous Saturday Sam

Knowing Erastus Bush's quarrelsome ma
ture, Abe had serious misgivngs in regard to
the result of the mans visit to the school,
and it needed no urging on the part of his
brother to get there soon as possible. Thus,
he wasn't long in coming in sight OF the
building.
At the same time he saw Mr.. Truell com.
ing swiftly across a field, swinging one hand
Wondering what this man could want, Abe
impatiently waited for him to come UP. He
quickly ended the suspense by saying:
"Pve been lookin' fer you, Abe, all day.

"It can't be there is anyone in the PineIy

Reading Clubs Closing Meeting.

The Tionesta Reading Club, with few
invited guests, was entertained in most
charming manner by Mrs. A. B. Kelly
and Mrs. Suie M. Sharpe, at their home
Wednesday afternoon, May 10th, at which
time program of unusual interest was
rendered.
1t was an suspicious closing of the
years study. The program began with
classical rendition of Mon Biiou, valse,
Tessarin, by Mrs. Jas. d. Davis, followed
with vocal solo, Sunshine and Rain,
Blumenthal, by Prof F. w. Gill. The
feature OF the afternoon, aud one to which
the members had looked forward during
the year with pleasant anticipations, was
an account by Mrs. Nelson p. Wheeler of
her recent trip abroad. She confined her
talk principally to Germany and its peo-
pie, a subject with which she is thorough
ly conversant, having made a special
study of the history and language of this
country. Mrs. Wheeler considers Ger
many one of the most interesting coun-
tries she has visited. The Germans are
lovers of the bSst in art and music, and
classical in their tastes. The peasantry
and common people are thrifty, honest,
industrious and happy. The Emperor
sets the example ofindustry, having him
self learned the book binders trade in his
youth. The Crown Prince completed the
carpenters and joiner's trade. The EN-
peror is intensely interested in every
thing that concerns his subjects.
Mrs. Wheeler's very pleasing and in
teresting description of this wonderful
country was so highly appreciated that
the club is likely to take up Germany as
its coming years study.
Prof. Gill again favored the club, by
singing "My Ain Countrie," Lemon,
and "Sleep-time, Nah Honey" Howell,
which he sang with exceptional sweet
hess.
AT the close of the program an elegant
three course menu was served by the
hostesses. The out.of-town guests were,
Mrs. l.. r. Freeman, of Warren, Mrs. G..
w. Warden of Endeayer, Mrs. Carl Smith
of Washington, d. c., Mrs. Frances M.
CASTOR of Meadville, and Miss Hannah
&. Irwin, of Franklin.

FOREST FIRES RAGING.
Forest County Destined TO Suffer
Much BY the Destructive Element.

Destructive forest fires have been rag
ing throughout this county for the past
three days causing inestimable damage to
growing timber, logs, lumber and oil
property. The townships of Green,
Kingsley and Howe have suffered most,
and at this writing the fires are still
spreading, Although the sawmills, fac
tories and other industries have been
shut down and the available crews taken
to the woods to fight the elements the
help is still inadequate to cope with the
flames while the weather remains so dry.
Besides there is limit to human endur-
ance, especially in such strenuous work
as battling with forest fires.
The Forest Gas Company's lease near
Golinza in Green township, on which are
located forty or more producing wells,
was saved with little damage, by the ef-
forts of the lease workers after hard
fight in which Harry Lowell had his eyes
80 badly injured by heat and smoke that
he has been unable to use them since.

vandalism, as it broke out Sunday after
noon in the woods where there was no
hsbitation or work of any kind going on.
The timber lands around Golinzs have
suffered great damage both to standing
and "down" timber The Nebraska
company has still large body OF timbe
in that section into which the fire had
gotten and was creating havoc Monday
and yesterday. Monday afternoon e. l..
DeWoody, jobber for the company, tele-
phoned 10 Tionesia for men, but there
were none to be had.
In the region of Kellettville, on Salmon
Creek and It's branches great fires ragged
Sunday and Monday, but yesterday 1t
was thought they were under control,
and had been confined largely to the
"slashings" where the losses would not
be so great. A horse barn belonging to
A. l.. Weller who is jobbing for j. f.
Proper on Salmon creek, was burned,
but as the contents were mostly removed
the loss was small. Some damage was
sustained by Wheeler Il Dusenbury in
tract green timber above Kellettville
where large force of men have been
fighting for the past three days, but what
the extent of loss will be could not be de-
termined yesterday.
The fire had almost surrounded the oil
lease of Capt. Haight on the east side of
Tionesta creek near Hastings station, but
at last accounts it was thought the rigs
could be saved.
Judge Aul, who "stocks" for the Cent
raj Pennsylvania Lumber Co., reports the
loss of five sideways and lot OF logs on
his Job over near Loleta, Tn Elk county,
Saturday.
Cropp & Daniels, operating in the
woods back of Eagle Rock lost lot of ties
scattered over their timber tract. Reed
& Fisher, in the same neighborhood, also
lost many.
The rain of this morning, though light,
will work incalculable good in subduing
the fires in this section, and was never
more welcome than now. 1t looks as
though the forest fires were done for this
season, as the vegetation will be pro-
lection against any serious spread.
