"There's q Way Out Of This"

had accepted the iron rule of his sec.
ond wife as settled law and no longer
dared to rebel
Henry Porter felt mean over 1t all,
but he had put himself and the boy as
well completely in the power of the
household tyro. It had come about
through small estate left by Mar
tins dead mother. Her husband had
promised to conserve the estate for the
benefit Of the lad. There was shrewd
lawyer in the service of Mrs. Porter,
however. BY some legal hocus pocus
she managed 1t so that the little prop.
erty came into the possession of her
husband. Then there were some
dubious transfers and the title now
reposed securely in her name.
After that she domineered over all
hands. Each day she treated Martin
more and more cruelty, while her
craven better half accepted the situa-
ton, not daring to say word.
Old Jared Bliss was the father of
the first Mrs. Porter and therefore
grandfather Of Martin. He had come
to visit his bereaved son-in-law. From
the first his tender heart went out to
the forlorn half orphan. He had NO
other relative in the world, he had a
thousand dollars in bank. Speciously
the avaricious second Mrs. Porter
worked it SO that this sum came into
her hands. In return for the acquisi
ton it was agreed that Mr.. Bliss should
have a permanent home with them
At the present time, however, all sense
of gratitude or justice had departed
from the mind of the scheming Mrs
Porter. She grudgingly doled out te
her pensioner the sparsest Of meals
She made him feel that he was 6
burden and unwelcome.
OF all this Jared Bliss was thinking
as he sat watching the dying ember'
Of the play camp fire. Then he woult
glance up at the narrow attic window
catch sight Of a pale, tear stained fac
beyond 1t and sigh dolorously.

"S-st!"

"She's gone to a neighbours who

was going to sit up all night, if she
had to, so as to be on hand to give
father piece of her mind when he

fully about him. Then he spoke
aloud: There's a ladder here?"
"Yes, grandpa" nodded Martin.
"I'm going to raise it-just as the
runaways do in the story books. Then
we'll loosen a window and get into
the home and make up a bundle oil
our clothes and-run away"
"Oh, grandpa" fluttered Martin in
an ecstasy of glorious anticipation.
Good riddance!" shifted Mrs. Por
ter, when that night later she guessed
what had come about.

wife for her evil work, took to drink

path began for those two.
The refugees led an ideal life for 6
month, wandering from town to town
living mostly in the woods like the
birds about them. Then the ready
money of the old man gave out. Mar
tin broke his ankle in jumping amonf
some rocks. They had got down t.
actual beggary when the old man ar
rived at a serious decision.

Yes, we will try brother William"
It was long tramp and Martin Will
his homemade crutch made slow prog
ress. One evening they lined thu
grounds Of grand old country plac.
that Jared had not seen for many
years.
What a lovely home!" cried littl,
Martin.

explained old Jared and he was anx

at the front door after he rang thu
bell.

who answered the summons, staring II

"Sir-why-arent you here?" fius

Mr.. William is dead? And we have
been trying to find you for a long
time. for he left everything to YOU"
"And to dear Martin" whispered
old Jared fervently to himself, wind

panion he SO loved.

How Norman klno. Raised Money.

The Norman kings had way Of
their own of making money from their
warlike preparations. William Rufus,
in the sixth year of his reign, caused
twenty thousand foot to be lifted in
England to rendezvous in Normandy;
but when they were come to the sea
coast in order to be transported he
sent them all home again, after ex.
acting ten shillings from each of them
for their diet" Years afterwards
Richard l, according to the old chron.
icle, Ordained that there should be
jousts and tournaments throughout
England, for the better exercise OF
men in martial affairs; yet so that
all persons should pay for their Ii
censes to bear a part in these exer
cises, after the following rates: Ev'
cry earl 20 marks, every baron ten
marks, and such as had no land, two
marks"

ORIGIN Of AMERICAN INDIANS
Theory That They Came From Asia 10
the One That 10 Most Generally
Entertained.

There has been revival Of inter-
est lately in the origin Of American
Indians, and the way in which the
western continent was peopled.
Our great-grandfathers were salts
fed to lay the achievements to those
mysterious lost tribes" of Israel; but
the scientific spirit of today demands
more plausible theories. These are
many and varied, but the old belief
that the ancestors Of the Indians
crossed the straits and narrow seas
from northern Asia to Alaska remains
the most probable of all.
The Eskimos Of America are almost
identical with some tribes Of eastern
Siberia. The straight, uncompromis-
ing black hair Of the Indian is found
elsewhere only in Asia. and his broad
skull is likewise an Asiatic trade
mark.
AS for means of getting across, the
voyage is often made over Boring
straits today, and in the mild climate
before the last glacial period the
trip would have been easier still Only
the other day two sampans, or native
boats, arrived on the coast of Cali
fornia whose occupants claimed to
have made the passage from Japan.
Without doubt there was certain
European alloy in the Indian blood,
even before the days of Columbus. The
blond Eskimos found in the far north
bear witness to this. Morse rovers
who reached the New England coast
in the tenth century must have fused
in some measure with the natives.

Pinkeyes Takes a Horse

BY FLORENCE E. YODER.

"A Tow don't laugh. Pinkeyes
nj borrowed Grandmother Tab
N Dy's horse Dave to take a
ride. He had to go several
miles away to make arrangements
for large number OF eggs. But he
only succeeded in losing his dignity
again
why he wants to ride old Dave"
said Fluff to Betty as they sat out
on the porch" Is beyond me-"
We'll. for one thing, he looks
funny" laughed Betty jumping UP
and running to watch Pinkeyes
hitching up. Dave had to tell him
just what to do: he di not know
a thing about harnessing a horse.
There were only two horses in Tab
Dyland. Prince and Dave. but all Of
the kitty girls and kitty boys, and
bunny people, were crazy about rid
ing horseback.
Pinkeyes ran off a little distance,
took 2 little jump. and landed on
Dawes back. Everybody on the
porch laughed out loud-Sniffle and
Shuttle the two bunny helpers, and
Betty and Fluff.
Pinkeyes whirled around on Dawes
back and scowled at all of them.
But every face was straight when
ne locked, and not a sound was
heard.
He turned around the right way
Just IN time. for Betty was ready to
laugh out loud again, he looked so
silly squatting up there with his
face to Dawes tail. They started.
Every time Dave moved Pinkeyes
nearly fell off, but he tried to be
very much at home. as he called
Il will be back in half an hour"
PITY he couldn't take US with
him sighed Betty.
Take you." said snuffle," I guess
not. The place where he gets the
eggs is a secret. Never would do
to let too many people know where
he gets the eggs to color
You might think that / was hu-
man the way you accuse me of tell
ing tales" Betty tosesd her head.
You do, talk a great deal Ectty
DEAR said Fluff trying not to be
unkind. Betty showed signs of
walking off in huff when Fluff had
a bright idea
Let's all go to the cross roads
and wait for PinkeyesI"
Everyone Immediately started of
in a rush. for they knew that some
thing funny would happen to Pink
eyes and theey wanted to see It.
Unless they caught him before he
got to the house they were afraid
he might be able to conceal II.

some time and then hid by the road

The Tetrazzini concert at the Ma
