CHAPTER VIII.

After the lapse of week following
the heroic exploit of Frank Inness,
that young man found himself again
at the store in the company of his
friends, Pettus and Petrie.
Whatever may have engaged their
attention at first there had come a
lull in the conversation, either the
subject had been exhausted or in
terest in it no longer existed. Mr..
Armstrong was busy about the store,
Hiram was setting things to rights
on one of the shelves; while Petrie
with his chair tilted backward on it's
two hind legs, its back resting
against the counter, sat as in a
reverie, silently emitting encircling
smoke-wreaths from his pipe and
sending them whirling aloft, where
they would break against the dingy
ceiling, and then evaporate into a
dry gray fog that lowered assiduous-
ly above the heads of the three men,
assuming Weird fantastic forms,
which TREMENDOUSLY disported them
selves in the air, until shivered and
dispersed by some alien draught
they vanished away amid the fur
nishings of the room. Then, while
'Frankinsence" absent-mindedly ex-
tracted good sized bunch of raisins
from an open box which stood on the

counter near where he was seated
and proceeded to dispose of it after
the manner of such people, Petrie
knocked the ashes from his pipe into
the box of sand at his feet, turned
toward John Armstrong and wanted
to know if that boy of the widow
Badleigh's was not good sort?"
He certainly is, replied Mr..
Armstrong, | don't think ever knew
a better boy than Jesse Badleigh.
You may take it from me, Steve, that
boy is honest, truthful and in every
way dependable; but what caused
you to ask me about him? | don't
think | ever heard you speak of him
before"
well, I'll tell you''-began Petrie
II stepped into the post office on
my way up here tonight and | hap
pened to overhear a conversation be-
tween two youngsters but he got
no further in his explanation, for at
that moment the door opened and
Jesse himself entered the room. He
was urged by the others to go on
with what he was about to say, but
he said mo, some other time may
be-"
Hello! Hiram, what you up to-"
called Jesse as soon as he had divest-
ed himself of his overcoat and warm
ed his hands at the stove.
20, I'm only whiting out a ring"
replied his friend.
The boy was just putting the An
ishing touches on a lingering he
had been carefully whiting out of
a piece of camel COAL Then, to his
surprise, Jesse drew from his pocket
a similar ring which he had made
from clam-shell; also a lady's
breast pin of the same material. The
ring was plain but the pin was
quite elaborate, it bore evidences of
real skill both in design and execu-
ton. Elliptical in form, it was large
as the she'll would admit of; there
was spiral scroll around the edge.
In the center the letters F. A. were
interviewer; in the upper space be-
tween the letters and the scroll were
two yiolets, which looked very nat
ural in their simple beauty, while in
the space below there was a diminu-
tive pine tree. After it had been ex-
amined and praised by Hiram and

SYNOPSIS.

AmaZiah Badleigh under suspicion
of operating illicit stills in the Blue
Ridge mountains of North Carolina,
suddenly moves with his wife to the
adjoining state of Tennessee, where,
between himself and a stranger who
visits his cabin at night, an agree
ment is entered into for the removal
of young child
Soon after this agreement the Bad
leighs leave the South and journey to
the Mississippi river taking the child
with them. There Mr.. Badleigh falls
in with a party of gold seekers and
going with them to Pixies Peak loses
his life.
Mrs. Badleigh joins an emigrant
family and all become residents of
DEBORAH, where young Jesse, the
adopted child makes good in an en-
counter with a school-fellow.
Jesse Badleigh and Hiram Schoc-
key effect a rescue which nets them
some profit: while Frank Inness, a
mighty huntsman pursues a stag and
stumbles upon hidden foe of small
Ter dimensions.

thought, it does him good. 1t may
be a helping hand extended to per-
son in some temporary trouble, or
maybe, just a word of sympathy, or
counsel, or encouragement where it
is needed, no matter what, it does
not end there. The friendly little
act, or the kindly spoken word new
er ends where it begins. 1t does not
die away like breath of air in June.
1t goes ringing on through following
ages influencing lives that are yet to
come. 1t is the sum total of the past
that constitutes the capital of the
present. Every man, woman, and
child, whether they are aware of it
or not are ever contributing to the
accommodating stock of good and evil
in the world. A wicked thing may
not at the time be impressive to the
person who is responsible for 1T, but
let me tell you boys, continued Mr..
Armstrong, solemnly, turning to Hi
ram and Jesse, who were listening
attentively to what he was saying
that man is carving upon the walls
of the temple of his body, characters
which, long years afterward leave
their hideous scars behind them"
CHAPTER TX.
1t was early in the evening of one
of those disagreeable days toward
the end of February, when the snow
which had been lying undisturbed
upon the ground, blanketing the
roofs of houses, filling in the low
places and piling itself up in great
drifts here and there ever since the
first days of November, was just be-
ginning to feel, in the middle of the
day, the softening influences of the
forward spring sun whose genial rays
were causing it to melt and disap-
pear into the ground which seemed
to take 1t to its bosom as though
that was the only natural and proper
thing to do. Only in out-of-the-way'
places, as in partly concealed localf-
ties on the north side of hills where
the sun could not get at it, or under
the lee of a tall building or an en-
bankment. or under tree mayhap,
where it was sheltered from sun and
wind, did drift remain lingering in
its hiding place as though loath to
leave the only protection it could
hope to enjoy as long as it remained
on the earth.
All day, the wind which had aris-
en- sometime during the night before,
had been cold and clustering. Sud-
den squalls and snow furries inter-
mingled every now and then with
icy blasts, had induced people who
were not obliged to be out to stay in
doors where they might enjoy the
blessing of asylum from the storm
without, by their comfortable fire

the others, Mr.. Armstrong gave it a
thorough inspection, then handed it
back to the boy, saying as he did
so:
Very clever Jesse, very clever in
deed"
Jesse obviously well pleased with
the approval of Mr.. Armstrong, and
his friends, turned to Hiram, who
was enquiring how he was able to
get away from his studies that eve
ming. ~
Why" he replied, mother has
been spending the afternoon with
several ladies with grandma Barker
and is to remain there till bed time,
so ! came over to be with you; | am
to call for her on my way back, af-
ter the store is closed. They are
having quilting party at Mrs. Bar
ker's and the old lady is to bring
out wonderful quilt she has been
working at for long time, which
mother says is q marvel 1t is made
up of 999 pieces of different sizes
and shape and color. The old lady
is wonderfully proud of it they say.
1t seems that fifteen or twenty of the
ladies are making quilts of differ
ent patterns and they are all to have
them there. 1t would interest you
to hear mother tell over the names
of those quilts; there was the Birds
of Feather Mine Patch" Log
Cabin" George Washington Steps, /"
Feather Stitch" Basket Lilly of
the Valley Rose of Sharon" "Rfs-
ing Sum-" 1T" Double Irish Chain. .
Crazy Patch" and / don't know how
many others, but there were several
more"
Huh! for my part, don't see why
them women want to fool away their
time sewing patches together for"
broke out Inness, reaching behind
him for the raisin box, which, anti
c1pating him, Hiram had prudently
removed where it was beyond his
reach; lit would be a whole lot east
err to get the stuff of John here and
Just sew it together in strips of the

what the ladies would do to you if
they happened to hear you talk that
way"
Il don't see as they could do any
thin its the truth what | been sayin
an l say again, its mighty trifiin
business, that's what it is
Frank" said Mr.. Armstrong, ]
think you have the wrong idea abouV
what you call, little things and tri-
fles; am not going to defend the
ladies against what you have been
S ying about their work; quilting bees
have been occasions of both pleasure
and profit among the women of this
country too many years to be put GU.
of business by you or any of US, so
there is little profit in discussing that
matter. What | want to say is that
you are one of the multitude who
thoughtlessly underrate the impor-
lance of things they call trifies. Now
the fact is, many of the most valu-
able things we know of, owe their
origin to what would appear to be
very insignificant causes, yet these
causes, if not the first have often
been important links in the chains
of some of the most wonderful events
in the history of the world.
Whether or not, the simple falling
of an apple from a tree in his or
chard, led to the discovery of the
law of gravitation, by the philoso-
pher, Sir Isaac Newton as is affirm
ed, l am unable to say, though, /
have no doubt of it. Then there
was the discovery of America. One
of the most significant things con-
nected with that event was the ap-
pearance of some drift-wood carried
off from the coast by wind and tide
just when the crews of Columbus
ships were on the point of mutiny.
History ascribes a lowly origin to
the art of printing, the telescope, pen
dulum clocks and many other things
of great value 10 the world.
Back yonder in Ohio, near where
| lived, he continued there is
a courthouse, which is so situated
that when it rains, the water falling
on one side of the roof finds it's way
to the st. Lawrence river, and then
on down for two thousand miles to
the gulf and the Atlantic ocean. If
1T happens to fall on the other side
OF the roof, 1t gets to the Ohio river,
runs down to Cairo and into the
Mississippi which passes it on down
to the gulf of Mexico where it is
swallowed up among the millions of
its kind. Thus it happens that a
mere breath of air separates those
descending drops of water and de-
termines their destiny for all time.

Say, Jesse, what was that poetry
you were quoting to Francis, the 9th
er day, / don't just recall it,"
"A pebble on the steamlet scant
Has turned the course of many a
river;
A dew drop on the baby plant
Has warped the giant oak forever
quoted Jesse, and the words were re-
ceived with demonstrations of APP
prevail
Why" resumed Mr.. Armstrong,
everybody knows that the singing
and putting of tea-kettle led to the
thousand fold appliances of steam,
completely revolutionized the means
of travel and intellectually increased
the great mechanical and CONNER
cial industries of the world"
All! if John Armstrong had poses
sed the power of precience, if he
could have spanned the interim be-
tween his day and following years
and looked upon the marvellous in
ventions, discoveries and appliances
which have been made in every field
Of enterprise, his appreciative soul
would have exulted with the joy of
it all.
Its a great thing for a man to be
able to tell what he knows or what
he thinks in such way as to make
other folks see it as he sees it." re-
marked Petrie.
Yes, an make it stick" added
Pettus.
Then, after brief silence, Inness
declared that John Armstrong talk
ed like a preacher, blamed if he
didn't"
No, Frank, I'm no preacher, my
gifts such as they are, lie in the di-
rection of buying and selling goods,
and looking after my farm up on
Looking-glass prairie. At the same
time / want to emphasize what I've
been saying There are no such
things as real trifies anywhere in all
the world. 1t required the same

to stand related to them, what may

son may possess comparatively small
value in the eyes of another, simply
because he does not feel personally

Il guess that must be the reason
why quiltin bees don't look good to

Joe Pettus.
