him down to the river, and put him in
canoe, and pushed him ont from
shore; and then they ran along the
bank and wouldn't let him land. until
at last the current carried the canoe
out into the middle, and then on down
to the ocean, and he never got back.
They didn't want him back, of course,
and If he'd been able to manage 1t,
they'd have put him In another canoe
and showed him out into the river
again. But still. they didn't elect an

came to the conclusion that the beech
grove people were afraid new chief

But they were wrong, because the real
reason was that the tribe had led such
an exciting life under Vendonah that
they couldn't settle down to anything

kept things happening things,

CHAPTER XXI.

AT least it may be claimed fol
George that his last night in the house
where he had been born was not oc
cupied with his own disheartening flu
ture, but with sorrow for what sac
rifices his pride and youth had de
manded of others. And early in the
morning he came downstairs and tried
to help Fanny make coffee on the
kitchen range.
'"There was something wanted to
say to you last night, Aunt Fanny" he
said.
"Why-why-" she stammered; but
she knew what he was going to say
and that was why she had been more
and more nervous. "Hadn't-perhaps
perhaps we'd better get the-the
things moved to the little new home
first, George. Let's"
He interrupted quietly, though al
her phrase, "the little new home" his
pungent impulse was 10 utter one loud
shout and run. "It was about this new
place that / wanted to speak. I've
been thinking 1t over and I've decided
I want you to take all the things
from mothers room and use them, and
keep them for me, and I'm sure the
little apartment will be just what. you

ticularly, that is. can't imagine you
or anyone else, being much attached to
me, So"
He stopped In amazement: no chair
had been left in the kitchen, but
Fanny gave despairing glance around
her in search Of one, then sank alb
ruptly and sat fiat upon the floor.
"What on earth" George sprang
to her. "Get up, Aunt Fanny"
81 can't. Pm too weak. Let me
alone, George!" And as he released
the wrist he had seized to help her she
uttered the dismal prophecy which for
. days she had been matching against
her hopes: you're going to leave
me-in the lurch!'
"Why no, Aunt Fanny" he protest.

Air and Hair

The judge made jokes, the witnesses
looked weary, the counsel acclaimed
and cross-examined, the u good men

the usher 'ushed whenever necessary.

'Not at all. I'm taking the RESPONSE

corner of his mouth. 'I'll tell you how

of the streaked and smoky window be-
side which he was sitting, spoke with
difficulty. II feel as if-as if perhaps
