Up to that moment he had suffered

wheels and the rafting clangor of the
gang-plank winch aroused him to ac-

numbness and ran aft to rummage un-

guards for his precious bundle. When
his hand reached the place where it

"Gavitt-John Wesley Gavitt."
"All right; on with you," said the
liberator. curtly; and with that he
shouldered the sick mans load and
fell into line in the ant procession.
Once on board the steamer, he fol
lowed his file leader aft and made
It his first care to find safe hiding
place for the tramp's bundle in the
knotted handkerchief. That done, he
stepped into the line again, and be-
came the sick mans substitute in fact.
1t was toll of the shrewdest, and he
drew breath Of blessed relief when the
last man staggered up the plank with
his burden. The bell was changing its
final summons, and the slowly revolv-
ing paddle-wheels were taking the
strain from the mooring lines. Being
near the bow line Griswold was one
Of the two who spring ashore at the
mates bidding to cast off. He was
backing the hawser out of the last of
its half-hitches, when a carriage was
driven rapidly down to the stage and
two tardy passengers hurried aboard.
The mate bawled from his station on
the hurricane deck.
Now, then! Take a turn on that
spring line out there and get them
trunks aboard! Lively!"
The larger of the two trunks fell to
the late recruit; and when he had set
1t down at the door of the designated
stateroom. he did half absently what
John Gavitt might have done without
blame: read the tacked-on card, which
bore the owners name and address,
written in a firm hand: Charlotte
Farnham, Wahaska, Minnesota"
Thank you," said musical voice
at his elbow. May l trouble you to
put 1t inside?"
Griswold wheeled as II the mild
toned request had been a blow, and
was properly ashamed. But when he
saw the speaker, CONSERVATION prompt
ly slew all the other emotions. For
the owner of the tagged trunk was the
young woman to whom, an hour or so
earlier, he had given place at the pay
ing teller's wicket In the Bayou State
Security.
She saw his confusion, charged It to
the card-reading at which she had sur
priseda him, and smiled Then he met
her gaze fairly and became sane again
when he was assured that she did not
recognize him: became sane, and
whipped off his cap, and dragged the
trunk into the stateroom. After
which he went to his place on the
lower deck with great thankfulness
throbbing in his heart and an inchoate
resolve shaping itself In his brain.
Late that night, when the Belle Julie
was we'll on her way up the great
river, he flung himself down upon the
sacked coffee on the engine room-guard
to snatch little rest between land
ings, and the resolve became sufficient
ly cosmic to formulate itself In words.
'Tll call It an oracle" he unused.
"One place is as good as another, just
30 1t Is inconsequent enough. And
am sure I've never heard of Wahaska."
Now Griswold the social rebel was,
before all things else, Griswold the i'm
aginative literary craftsman; and no
sooner was the question of his ulti-
mate destination settled thus arbitrari-
ly than he began to prefigure the place
and its probable lacks and havings.
This process brought him by easy
stages to pleasant idealizings of Miss
Charlotte Farnham. who was, thus far,
the only tangible thing connected with
the destination dream. A little farther

young man who had courteously made

he was holding his pistol aimed at
President Galbraith. ="
1t was said of Charlotte Farnham
that she was sensible beyond her
years, and withal strong and straight
forward in honesty Of purpose. None
the less, she was woman. And when
she saw what was before her, con-
science turned traitor and fed away
to give place to an uprush Of hesitant
doubts born Of the sharp trial of the
moment.
She got upon her feet, steadying her
self by the back of her shair. She felt
that she could not trust herself II she
once admitted the thin edge of the
wedge Of delay. The simple and
straightforward thing to do was to go
Immediately to the captain and tell him
of her discovery, but she shrank from
the thought Of what must follow. They
would seize him: he had proved that
he was a desperate man, and there
would be struggle. And when the
struggle was over they would bring
him to her and she would have to
stand forth as his accuser.
1t was too shocking, and she caught
at the suggestion Of an alternative
with gasp Of relief. She might write
to President Galbraith, giving such a
description Of the deck-hand as would
enable the officers to identify him
without her personal help. 1t was
like dealing the man a treacherous
blow In the back, but she thought 1t
would be kinder.

Some seven or eight years ago there was established in Michigan a schoolhouse upon ground not much larger than the schoolhouse itself in Lake St. Clair This is the school to which the pupils go in rowboats, canoes and punts. It. play ground" is only 40 feet wide by 50 in length. Stretching for miles on each side of the little wind swept buildings are the waters ot Lake St. Clair, dotted with island homes of many children, who, until the establishment of this unique place of learning, had never seen the inside of schoolhouse.
 For more than 50 years this dis trict presented a perpleXing prob lem to the educational authorities. It covers 30 square miles of the lake, and in this area are scores of islets, some of which have been luudDlleu lOl lildlly ySdl III LIoiS of the families the children had been reared with no educational ad yantages. Indeed, they grew up like wild Indians, taught only in the ways of nature, and with as little knowledge of the outside world as real savages might have. Many of these children had never seen a great city, and, unless their parents possessed sufficient reading and writing" roughly to tutor them in a way, the youngsters had no edu- cation at all.

The schoolhouse, a two story cottage of plain, unpalnted lumber, was built by an old duck hunter It's location is so peculiar that not single pupil or even the young woman teacher can get to it without the use of boat or a canoe. A few of the pupils come only a short distance, but others are obliged to paddle four or five miles each day in order to attend school

Michigan's Unique School

and even before there is sufficient dawn to see a dozen rods ahead the children of the hunters and trappers who live furthest away are on their way to school.
 As the boats, canoes and punts shove off in the early hours of the morning there are hammers and nails, stakes, shingles, knives and traps in the bottoms of most Of them, and the boy who paddles or rows, if he be alone, usually has a gun between his knees ready to take a shot at passing wild fowl or muskrat streaking the water ahead.
 From dozen different directions the craft slowly make their way toward the school. Every boy who traps and hunts has regular route" and along this route are scattered his traps. It may be that in one of the canoes is one of the little girls, with Indian black hair and rowing eyes, who paddles for her brother, while he kneels in the bow of the canoe, his gun ready in his hands, for it is in these early hours of the day that flight of wildfowl brings the best shooting.

Best Thoughts for Women
Thought and Art In Writing

are the foremost in asserting that the old formal methods have not produced the results of simple nat ural schooling of an older time. when more was left to the individual effort of the student than to the methods or appliances furnished from without No help need be dis carded. Every possible shortcut to achievement may properly be made use of; but the point should never be lost sight of by student or teacher that the individual develop ment from within is what makes real achievement.
 Then he who would write beauti- fully must write to his thinking. He must study his theme and his thoughts about it. He must see what is there, even as the artist makes a great picture, not by know ing technical methods of laying on paint but by seeing what is to be set forth on the canvas. Then he may discover new technique tO set forth the new thing he sees How to handle the writer medium, language. may be learned without other teaching than study of great models of English.
