STORY
By VIRGINIA BLAIR

SCopyright, 1911 By Associated Literary Press,


The time to visit Captain Tucker is
not in the warm weather, when he Is
busy with boats and nets and sum
mer people, but In the winter, when
he is snug in his little house on the
west shore of the harbor, sheltered
from the high winds that blow fiercely
on the outer beach.
Eyes, I've lived here all my life,
the captain told me one night, as we
sat in front of the fire, waiting for
the chowder whose fragrance was
waited in from the kitchen.
Now and then the door would open
and Mrs Tucker would trip in, a
plump and glowing person, who ex,
changed smiles with her husband as
If they were kisses. 1t was cold out
side, and the gale blew steadily from
the northeast, but so strongly was the
little house set among the rocks that
we felt no fear Of wind or waves.
Yes. I've lived here all my life,"
the captain repeated; but fixed 1t
up some after | was married. My
wife likes it here because she's safe
from storms. She used to live over
there on the neck, she and her broth
er, where the sand shifts after every
blow and you never know whether
you're going to wake up and find your
house on its foundations or in the
middle of the Atlantic.
1T was in a storm that / found
her" the captain was smiling into the
hre, land 1t was in storm that /
took her away to be married"
He hitched his chair closer to the
Blaze, and l settled myself to listen.

one September evening that drove
my boat to pieces on the rocks. Be-
fore that happened, however, I had
launched my dory and was making

Not Really A Learned Man.

When Eben Drayton was asked what
he thought OF the new principal OF the
academy, his face took on it's most
incorporating expression. Depends
on whether you're considering him az
a man or a teacher" he answered.
When his questioner had aroused
the expected amount of curiosity.
Eben proceeded with his explana,

"As a man he may be all right
presume to say he is-but as teach
or he leaves consid able to be desired.
Why, he amt real well grounded on
the difference 'twixt huckleberries and
blueberries. and when questioned him
close, found he want any too sure of
the p'ints O. the compass In this town.
"If he makes out to get through the
year without showing his ignorance
to the trustees, miss my guess. He's

Modern Method Of Business,

His name was Augustus Athrobald
Robinson, but in the business house
where he had lately secured position
as office boy, everybody called him
Jim.
He was very keen on retaining his
position, so when a caller came in
one day and made violent complaint
about a letter that had not been post
ed to him Jim listened in terror.
Where's that boy?" cried his en-
ployer in a fury. Here, you imp,
take your coat and hat and get out!
I'm ashamed Of you! Go to the cashier
and get your salary, and don't let me
see you here again. you wretched lit
tie bungfer!"
Jim, terrified and almost crying, left
the office and hurried away.
The next morning his employer
called at his home and the youth came
to the door.
"You young donkey" exclaimed the
visitor, do you suppose I really
sacked you yesterday? OF course not!
Come on back to the office and every
time caller makes complaint and
sack you, go around the corner till the
customers gone and then come back"
And that's how Jim started in bust
ness, grew up to be the manager Of
the concern and now has an office boy
Of his own, whom he sacks regularly
with every complaint that is made
