One day, in the presence of the Fox,
the Tortoise was Dragging to the Hare
Of his ability as a runner The Fox
was very derisive Of the Tortoise's pre-.
tensions, ~whereupon thu Tortoise,
winking at the Hare, Off Tered to bet
the Fox a considerable sum Of money
that he could outrun the Hare. The
Fox lost no time in putting up the
money, and off the contestants started.
The Hare took a big lead a. once. but
after getting comfortably out of sight,
wandered away from the track and fell
asleep. The Tortoise accordingly was
the first to reach the winning post.
The Fox went of cursing at the loss
of his money. and when he had gone
the Tortoise divided his winnings with

house. q little why up yonder over
the hill. But II wouldn't suit a mar
like you-a slow. poky place, with no
style"
The man on the stone slowly turn
ed toward Chamberlain, and at last
found voice for more than monosy-la-
bic utterances.
Il was looking for a hotel" he said,
In correct English but with a foreign
accent, land l shall be glad to take
your advice. The Hillside, you say, Is
in this direction?" and he pointed
along the lower road.
Yes" heartily assented Chamber
lain, about two miles through those
woods, and you won't make any mis-
take going there; it's a very good
place"
The man got up from the stone.
And the other inn you spoke Of
where Is that?"
THE Red House? That's quite a
long piece up over the hill-this way.
Straight road; house stands near a
church; kept by a country woman
named Sallie. But the Hillside's the
place for you; good style, everything
neat and handsome. And fine people!"
Very well, thanks" cut in the 9th
er, in his sharp, rasping tones. Il
shall go to the Hillside"
He slid n hand into a pocket, as
IL to assure himself that he had not
been robbed by sleight-of-hand dur
Ing the interview, and then started on
the road leading to the Hillside.
Chamberlain said Good day, SIR"
without expecting or getting an an
swer, and turned the hill toward the
village.
AS soon as he had dropped from
sight, however, he walked casually
into the thick bushes that lined the
road, and from this ambush he took
a careful survey of the hill behind him.
Then he slowly and cautiously made
his way back through the underbrush
until he was again in sight OF the
cross roads. Here, concealed behind
a tree, he waited patiently some five
or ten minutes. At the end of that
time, Chamberlain's mild and kindly
face lighted up with unholy Joy. He
opened his mouth and emitted a sound
less "haw-haw."
For there was his recent companion
also returning to the cross roads. TAX
ing a discreet look in the direction Of
the village as he came along. Seeing
that the coast was clear, he turned
and went rapidly up the road that
led over the hill to the old red house.
When Chamberlain saw that the
man was well on his way he stepped
into the road and solemnly danced
three steps of a hornpipe. and the next
instant started on a run toward the
village. He got little Simon's horse
and buggy. drove into the upper street
and picked up the sheriff. and then
trotted at a good rafting pace around
by the long road toward Ilion.

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do lot know that 1t il
the cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for a while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out In this way, and also
learned Of a new beverage that Is
wholesome as we'll as pleasant to
drink. She writes:

Dyspepsia, severe headaches and

coffee, my heart would go like a clock

Monsieur ChateIard Takes the Wheel.
Sallie Kingsbury would have given
up the ghost without more ado, had
she known what secular and unminis-
terial passions were %converging about
Parson Thayer's peaceful library. AS
It was, she had a distinct feeling that
life wasn't as simple as 1t had been
heretofore, and that there were u
cling problems to solve. She was al
most certain that she had caught Mr..
Hand using an oath; though when she
charged him with it, he had said that
he had been talking Spanish to him.

alone. Sallie didn't exactly know the
answer to that, but told him that she
hoped he would remember that she
was a professor. What's that?" in

Its a Christian In good and e
lar standing, and It's what you ought
to be-" said Salile.
And now that nice Mr.. Chamber
lain, whom she had fed in the early
morning, had dashed up to the kitch-
en- door behind Little Simon's best
horse, deposited a mar from Charles
port. and then had disappeared. The
man had also unceremoniously left
her kitchen. He might ne a minister
brought there to officiate at the church
on the following Sabbath, Sallie sur
missed: but on second thought she dis
missed the idea. He didn't look like
any minister she had ever seen, and
was very far indeed from the Parson
Thayer type.
Hercules Thayer's business, inc,ud-
ing his ministerial duties. had formed
the basis and staple OF Sallie's affec-
tionate interest for seventeen years.
and 1t wasn't her nature to give up
that interest. now that the chief actor
had stepped from the stage. So she
s~peculated and wondered, while she
did more than her share OF the work.
She picked radishes from the garden
for supper. threw white screening over

CHAPTER gix.-continued.

II was not difficult to get on his
track, even though the village people
were constitutionaliy reluctant to let
amy unnecessary information get away
from them. A mile or SO farther up
the shore. beyond the road that ran
like a scar across the hill to the gran
Iite quarry, Chamberlain came upon
o. saloon ma~squerading as a grocery
store. A lodging house. a seaman's
bethel and the reading room we're
grouped near by; the telegraph office,
too, had been placed at this end OF the
town; obviously for the convenience
Iof the operators Of the granite quarry.
THE settlement had the appearance of
e~asy-going and pleasant industry Pc
ocular to places where handwork Is
still the rule.
Chamberlain applied first at the gro.
lcery store without getting satisfaction.

Ionly person visible, could give him no
information about anything. But at
