That's all right" Jeered the portly

He took off his hat, drew fat wall

twenty-dollar bill from It, placing It
in the hat. This Is going to be the

Bills and silver coins rafned into
the hat from the sympathizing crowd
that now filled the entire platform
Up and down went the portly gentle
man with the hat, and he did not
cease until it was nearly full. Then
he counted the amount of his collec-

"One hundred and nineteen dollars,

The fugitive accepted the money
with a shame-faced air, and the portly
gentleman turned upon the attendant.
Come, now get out OF here" he
said, "and make no further trouble!"
Followed by the jeers Of the crowd

and sneering. Then the portly gen.

What is it. dear?" inquired his
wife In her gently anxious way.
Horse and wagon gone-stolen!
replied Rufus. We'll, l suppose all I
can do is to try and get trace of the
rig"
Rufus started out. There were
guiding hoof marks and wheel tracks
across a field and then along an OBJ
scure and unfrequented road. Rufus
had gone about five miles when he
started up with new energy.
Why, there's the rig" he exclaimed
joyfully.
Sure enough, faced in the direction
from which he was approaching was
old Dobbin. The animal stood by the
side OF the road unhitched from the
vehicle. The wagon itself was stuck
in great muddy rut. A boy about
the age of Robert was trying to pry
an imprisoned wheel free with
fence rail.
Rufus viewed the lad curiously as
he approached. He was a ragged but
bright-faced youngster. The way he
toiled and perspired at his task rather
pleased Rufus. It showed that he
was not afraid of work. The lad
looked up and suspended his labor as

But Uncle Zed Mills, fifty miles

humbly and gratefully. He acted like
a new being after a hearty lunch pre-
pared by motherly, smiling Mrs. Burt.
Rufus put him at chopping wood
and he did it with will. Then there
was q field Of hay to rake up. The
lad seemed actually to enjoy the task.
Rufus was telling him how his wife
had fixed up cot for him in the at

To the amazement Of Rufus the lad
removed the bandage about his head.

demanded the bewildered Rufus.

Then the lad told strange, strange
story. Two years previously he had
lost his father and mother. He was
stranded on the world with two little
sisters. The careless fling of a
scythe had severed his ear. That &C.
counted for the Disagreement.
He happened to wander with the
little ones near the home of Eli Star
key. That individual Immediately took
a peculiar interest in him. He offered
to give him home and the little ones
as we'll. Starkey took the lad to see
blind deaf old Zed Mills. The latter
felt over his head and located the
broken ear. That seemed to identify
some one to him. Before the family
quarrel the old man had taken a great
fancy to Robert. Undoubtedly he had
asked Starkey to bring Robert Burt
to him. Starkey had substituted the
