boy Is the father of the man, but he
man, either. You can't study a boy
and predict what sort of a man he's
| going to be, any more than the official
fOrecaster can examine his maps and
charts and tell us what the weather
will be like tomorrow.
"You observe that my larbOard eye
is somewhat discolored and | have a
confusion on my brow, and my nose
is slightly out of alignment. Yester
day was pirOoting along back street
on a little errand, when l beheld
big, husky teamster pounding the saw
dust out of venerable horse that had
seen better days. / went up to him
and protested in the most courteous
way, and he said it would afford him
genuine pleasure to kick my spine up
through my hat, if l didn't go my way
and leave him alone. l Informed him
that if he hit that horse again l
would push his countenance out of
place, and he Immediately dubbed the
suffering animal harder than ever.
81 am glad to say that 1 succeeded
in kicking most of the rind off the
transfers shins before he got me
down and sat on my head, but sub
init that a man who will take such
chances as did must have the cause
of cruelty to animals much at heart.
There's nothing makes my blood boil
quicker than to see an animal abused. |
"Well, when l was a boy l had a |
wide reputation for cruelty. I used
to delight in tying tin cans to the |
tails of dogs, and in drowning cats,
and in robbing birds nests, and all
such sinful pastimes. The moralists
of that period agreed that l was en-
titled to the mantle of Nero, and that
would come to bad end. Yet when
became old enough to have some
sense, l made pets of all the dumb
critters within eight miles.
IF that old maxim about the twig
and the tree were any good, it ought
to work both ways, and the sanity boy
always would become a grand, good
nan. But as a rule the truly good
boys don't amount to much in after
ife. Nearly all our useful citizens
we're hard citizens when they were
,oys, and the shiftless, no-account men
we're simply angelic when they went
o school.
"A boy gets tired of being immacu-
ate after he has tried 1t few years,
nd he goes to the other extreme Z
md the boy who has been a horrible Z
ever since he left the cradle :
cts sick of that sort of thing when he +
as cut his wisdom teeth, and he be- ,
ONES so vlrtuous that there's no liv-
lg in the same block with him. :
Most of the old sayings are fool
III and tritling, and 1 am surprised
hen grown man goes around quot
lg them. Yet lot of fellows think =,
ley have clinched an argument when :,
ley drag in a bewhiskered maxim. =
/ order to show that Spoonable's boy =
foredOOmed, you spring that old -
heeze about the twig and the tree. !,
on might just as well say that Mary ~
i'd little lamb, and consider the ar -
lment closed. ,r
II know you are suffering to remind :
e that people who live in glass houses
couldn't throw stones, but l won't
and for it." {

CHAPTER VIII-Continued.

"Where's mummy" she demanded
and again came a sharper where's
my mother?" Roughly showing hel
aside, Uriah walked across the boat
deck, his sunken eyes fixed on Mac
Cauley.

for, mister?' he demanded. "And
what happened to tEat young Teller

Philip fiercely. 1.-THE pup was-was-"
he made a gesture toward Tony as
Devon's interruption belched forth:
"Was it any of your business what
happened to my girlY
Uriah took another step toward the
young captain.
That's your canoe, amt it, roped to
my dock" he demanded fiercely.
swell, hop in and get away if you
don't want broken skull! !"
Philip sent a flashing glance to the
silent, white girl. There was such ter
ror marked on her face that his teeth
came together tensely.
He can't go till my mother comes"
she broke out abruptly. Il won't stay
If he don't"
Uriah's hand went back to his hip.
Il guess he'll go if tell i'm to-" said
he. Just hop into your boat, kid,
before fill you up to your teeth with
little bits of hot lead"
Tonnibel had witnessed scenes like
this before. She knew but tiny pres
sure of her fathers finger on the gun
he held would kill her sweetheart.
&c along" she managed to get out
between her chattering teeth. It'll be
worse for both of us if you don't!"
Devon was forcing Philip backward
toward the end of the dock, a.ad by
this time Reginald had crawled to the
shore and had lain down upon it.
Don't lag, mister" cried Tony to
Philip. go along to Ithaca"
MacCauley stepped into his canoe,
and Devon sullenly unfastened the
rope and threw it into the bow of the
craft.
Don't come back here if you don't |
want taste of this" he snapped, |
touching his gun. Get out and stay
out, mister"
With the end of the revolver he
gave the canoe a shove, and Tony saw
the paddle dip into the water and the
boy move away.
Uriah stood moment and looked
off to the hills Then locking Tony
in the cabin he went to where Reggie
lay on the shore and helped him back
to the boat.
