We were beautifying your room Taking oft the bare look as per Scuddr" James' color begun to come back And when it come It come thick He reddened up so you could see It even through the sun-bum "Mr Van Brunt" he says getting madder every minute "I give you notice I leave to-morrow morning" "Don't be an Idiot begins Van but his lordship cut hi in short "I leave to-morrow morning" he shouts "Ain't it enough to bring me to this Gawd forsaken ole and work me 'alf to death and blister me from "cad to foot without this? I give you warning now I'm going 'nine And you be glad I ain't 'aving the law on you for this outrage Us poor nervants 'as rights and There was more plenty more We couldn't shut him up And the Heavenlles' explanations didn't count either He was dead set on leaving In the morning Finally we give it up and went back to bed Lord James said he was going to stay in the kitchen all night Nothing would hire him to sleep in Marcellus' receiving tomb again "Humph!" says I fait ley as the Twins went upstairs "it looks to me as If your joke hud lost us the bout valet you ever had Van" Van cussed under his breath "He shan't h-ave" he said "I must keep him somehow He's Invaluable In the city and we may go back there some time Not for months though of course" he addB But lu the morning James was worse set than ever He wouldn't help with breakfast nor nothing went aloft at daylight aud begun to pack his tiuuk He wan going to leave that's all there was about It The Twins was "pretty blue during breakfast Vun about Losing bis lurd-uhip and Hartley on account of sunburn 1 cai'iate 'Twas another elegant day and there was wind enough to keep the tiles and mosquitoes awuy from the house If you gvt In the lee anywheres though they was laying for you in droves They didn't bother me 'much 'count of my hide being tough and leathery and my flavor too salt maybe but they was fattening up fast on the Heavenlles and James About ten o'clock Scudder shows up with the first dory load of Fresh Air-ers from the Kastwlc-h place Miss Agnes come along with 'em Then the second load come cap'ned by the Tal-ford girl And then there was doings I Them Fresh Air young ones wa'n't all of a piece-with Redny which was a mercy He was a handful in himself that little sorrel-tcp was but there was enough like hini to keep things stirred tip Marcellus' old shingled prison had to take it that day There must have been sonic stewing in Heaven If old Lady Berry could look down and sec them youngsters whooping and carryiugon iu the front parlor In Mrs B's day that parlor was a kind of saint's rest as you might say and the only time anybody opened Its door was when she sailed in with the broom and feather duster Ard -lieu she must have had to navigate by com- pass the blinds was always shut tiyht and the curtains drawn and 'twas too dark to see anything Hartley looked out for the children aud Van Brunt piloted the two girls I over the place pointing out where the i garden was going to be some day and 1 whore the hens was likely to roost and the pig to board They seemed to be us pleased and tickled as he was and thought everything was "lovely" and "just too quaint and dear" I was busy cookfn and Lord James sulked out In the barn He couldn't get away I until late afternoon on account of the train Kedny stuck to Hartley like a mud-1 turtle to a big toe He was right at I bis heels all tho time By and by the 1 pair of 'em come out In the kitchen to see me I "Hello Andrew Jackson" says I to i the boy "How do you like this part of the country i "Great!" says he his eyes snapping "Cue ain't we having tho peach of a time!" "Must feed you well over there" I suys "Seems to me you're getting fat I ul reaily Board's up to the mark of the Newsboys' home ain't It?" I "You bet!" says he "Chicken and Cinder watt Injected Into the run lit of be O- P- tbiH morning when C'apt Ayers formally entered the mayoralty race against liu I Reeves who a month ago thought he had the fiomiulion for mayor caught muffed and mounted in glass CUHe C'apt Ayers Is the light fUht-era and now that he hnx bin "war-palm" on it is Mllile likely thai Reeves will only hit tin- high Itiiin-iiiockn In getting over tint broad political prairie Mr Ayeis who lias level business bend lias seen active field duty In the Republican rankH and his worst enemy never accused him of being liter" Ayer Is wIcIiIIcmh whirlwind anil hut opponents In the will feel iiri though they had hud a pie-thorn of politlcH when i he primaries ore over Ah the political pot hiiK sla'ioil to dimmer and by the cm! of Hie week It will be sizzling nnl Ayers will help things to hi The llre-workH arc Just beginning spoil jour fine clothes Besides I've got sort of used to it by this time my arm goes round of itself like a peddle wheel" She laughed and grabbed a chowder plate aud commenced to wipe She done fairly well for anybody who hadn't practiced much but she never would have won the cup for speed One dish every five minutes is ail right maybe if you're getting paid by the year but However I judged her ma kept hired help to home I wondered what shfe'd done with Hartley By and by she says: "Mr Pratt how long do you expect to stay here?" "Here?" fcays I "On Horsefoot on Ozone island? Land knows Long's the Heavenlies that is long's Mr Van Brunt and Mr Hartley stay here 1 guess It's a restful place ain't it?" says I reaching for the next stack of dishes No doubt they find it 'How do you like the She smiled so" she says All land owners In H-17 and 14-1S In Ogle township please notify 1' Newbold Towiishlp Assessor Ci'oek-olu OUhi TOOK UMBRAGE AT ASPERSION no Chiuka to chuck rock at Miss As ny won't let you chuck rocki at foiki anyhow" "Don juu wish you as back In New York with your dad?" I says "Not much'" he suys "The old man i used to club me too good When he was full I'd get a belling most every day" I looked at Hartley and he at me Por little shaver! It's when I see how some folks treat chiTdren that I get to thinking I could make a better world than this is "Going to run away again?" I asks after a minute Naw" says Redny "Not while I'm down heie Miss Agony cries over me and I'd rather be licked any time than that" Hartley rumpled the youngster's hair with his fingers "Sol" he says "there's good here If you can get at it Too much good to be running to waste Ah hum! Must be rather pleasant to have one or two of your own must make life almost worth living That's where you aud 1 'have missed It" "You've got plenty of time yet" says I "Maybe you'll be down In these diggings nine or ten year from now with a family of your own" He smiled kind of sad and 0110-sided Then he got up and walked out to the piazza Kedny hung around a fcpell long enough to ask a couple million questions Then he went into the parlor with the rest of the young Injuns Pretty soon I heard some one speak I looked through the doorway and see the Page girl coming up the porch steps alone Hartley stood up aud lifted his cap "Where's Van?" he asked "He's down on the beach with Margaret 1 came back to look after the children" "They're all right" says Martin "Playing games In the front room" Agues slopped for a second In the doorway "I don't Just understand" she iald hesitating hy you are here Is It true that your health is bad?" "No" he said with a little laugh "I did feel rather gone to seed before I left town but now I'm having the lime of my life" 1 "Indeed?" says she "So far from Wall street? I'm surprised" He didn't seem to answer least-1 ways I didn't hear him Next thing I 1 knew he was standing on the top step "Please excuse me" he says pretty frosty "I must speak to James" He went oCt down the steps and out 1 of sight She stood and watched him a minute and I thought she looked puzzled Lnd solemn Then she went into the piiior We hau dinner out doors on the piazza While it was going on the gi-owu-npb didn't do much talking It's 'precious little "fun trying to talk against a typhoon and an earthquake mixed and that's what them Fresh Air young ones turned that meal into 'Twas "Hurrah boys'! Stand from under!" from the beginning When I wa'n't filling up flsh plates I was dodg- ing potato skins and similar hou- qtiets They didn't fire 'em at me you I understand but it's always the feller that's looking on at the row who gets 1 hit Redny was cap'n of tho gun crew I He could chuck a potato skin with his left hand and eat with his right and look pious and shocked all at the same I time When the juniors was filled up and it wa'n't no slouch of a job to get 'em 1 filled they went off to start a riot somewhores else and the Twins and tho girls had a chance Van got to telling about Scudder's presents and he was funny as usual That Margaret Tal- ford would laugh until I had to join iu just out of sympathy even though I was up to my eyes in soapsuds and dishwashing She was a jolly girl 1 that one pretty and full of snap and go Nothing would do but them "presents" must go on exhibition So Van lugged 'em down from James' room and lined 'em up on the piazza for inspection He took a stick for a pointer aud gave a lecture about 'em same as If they was a panorama pointiug out what he called the "feeling" and i "atmosphere" of the shell basket und tho "perspective" of Marcellus iu the crayon enlargement He had a good time and so did everybody else especially Miss Talford Hy and by she clapped her hands "Oh!" says she "I've got an idea Did you say your man was going to leave you Mr Van Brunt?" Van heaved a sigh "Yes" he says "I believe he is 1 fear that James hasn't the artistic temperament I confess I'm disappointed He certainly 1 looked as if he had It he was sad and soulful and and dyspeptic But no even the 'Motherless Home' didn't appeal to him He says he's going tonight" "1 wonder If he would come over to the school?" says she "We need a 1 man there don't we Agnes? To help about the place aud look out for the I boys and to well to protect us" I "Lucky James!" says Van "But why-James? Won't Martin here or excuse my blushes myself?" 1 Hut the Talford girl laughed and said he wouldn't do at all He lacked dignity she said and didn't look the part She asked Miss Page if she really didn't think that James would be just the man for them Agnes said perhaps he would So the four of 'em went away for a walk on the beach and to talk it over I'll bet 1 called that valet anything but a church member and a good feller a dozen times over while I was diving Into them dishes I washed and washed till seemed to me I was soaked out fresh enough to bile like a pickled codfish And when the washing was done there was the wiping I laid out a bale or so of dish towels and pitched in Pretty soon somebody says: "Mayn't I help?" I swung around and there was Agnes Page Nice to look at she was too "Can't I help you please?" says she picking up a towel "Laud sakes no!" says I "You'll Van Brunt" It seems the Talford girl had seen James and he had agreed to go to Kastwich with 'em 'Twas a good chance for him a soft job and all that Truth to tell I guess he was kind of sorry about parting from Van altogether the gleaning might not be so good In his next boss' berry pasture So about six o'clock Scudder come with his dory and the picnic broke up The Fresh Airers were pretty nigh played out by this time The smaller children was noddfhg with their heada on the shoulders of the bigger ones and I even had to tote two of the littlest In my arms down to the beach Hut they was all full fed and sunburned and dirty and happy and they'd had the bulliest time in their poor pinched-up little lives "Well good-by Andrew Jackson" says I to Redny "Had good time enough to want to come again have you?" "Sure thing" says he "Like it as well here as you do over at the school?" "Ytip" he says "Ain't nobody to plug potato skins at over there" He vftis a smart little coot Had the makings of a man in him if you dug down far enough to get at it Lord James comes down to the shore tugging his trunk behind him "So long Hopper" says I "Shall I give your love to Marcellus" spook If it comes gliding again?" He looked it me very solemn "You'd better come too" he says "You take my advice and leave this blooming island now w'ile you 'ave the chance There'll come a time" says he "when you won't 'ave It" He climbed into the dory and set down all huddled up in the stern with his trunk between his knees Scudder begins rowing and they moved off 1 "There" says Van referring to his lordship "goes the final tie that binds us to a sordid past Shall we sing 'Tlie Last Link Is Broken' Martin? Or have you something more -Appropriate to suggest skipper?" "I have for myself" says I "It' 'Work for the Night Is Coming' 1 And I hurried up to the house to get supper Citizens Relented Being Voted for as Town'a "Meanest Man" Old Scrooge might bo a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tight-wads iu Mount Vernon but William Frledberg has no license to dctcrtnluo publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help!

Says I "Them Ain't They're Quahaugs" foot over the beucbgiass stubbles and says 1: "Ain't clamming fun?" 1 cays "My word!" says he but It expressed bla feelings all right All the afternoon the clani hunters kept gettlug turner and tatuer and sorer and sorer Their sun burnt lega and arms was hurting 'em HcaudaIuus Hartley flopped into a plazu chair and stayed there and Lord James crept around with his limbs spread out like windmill buIIh And every time lio'd bump Into a chair or anything you could hear him whoop to glory Van Hrunt got home about supper time Scudder rowed hint over 1 had the quahuug chowder made und he ate enough for all hands Hartley was feeling too used up to relish It much and his lordship didn't eat nutblng I let lilin off on thcadish wutihlng and he went off to the tall end of the veranda and went to sleep In a chair After supper Vun told about his trip to Kastwleh Agnes aud tho Talfurd Rlrl was well he said aud they and their Fresh Air trlbo was coining to the island next day for a picnic "By the way Hkipper" says Van "Scudder says ho brought some mes-entH for us last nlht after we went to bed Where arc they?" Thunderatluii! I'd foient all about them "presents" I'd Celt like an undertaker when I laid 'em away In that drawer nuld now I felt like a Ktave robber us I iIuk 'cm up aialn I spread 'em out on Ihe table colllu plates in tho middle and wreath on one end and "What Is Home Without a Mother" on t'other You'd ought to have hoard them Heavenlles laush! Nate's presents certainly made hit Van he Just laid back anil roared "Oil by Jove!" he says panting "This Is too Rood! This Is lovely Shades of Hannah Jane I'urvls! Martin how the widow of the man that didn't fee) like beans would have appreciated these hey? This Ibis would have been her Idea of an art gallery" "Pack 'em away aRiilu Sol" says Hartley "Now that the relatives huve had an opportunity to view the remains the funeral may go on limy 'em quick" "Ilury 'em?" says Van "Not much They're too dreamily beautiful Martin I'm Kurpilsiil at you What Is homo without a family vault anyway And yet Hold on!" he says holding up his hand "1 have an idea We'll give tlielil Id James" "To James?" says me and Martin together "Of course to James James Is funereal und solemn aud dlgnitied They ought to appeal to bis taste They're light In his line We will decorate James' room with 'em What Is it they were warranted to dw skipper when 'strung up Oh yes! to be sure 'Take away the bare look' James' room is bare now that 1 think of it Come and Join the Memorial Day parade Martin" He was out In the kitchen gettlns the hammer and nails aud string doing to decorate the valet's bedroom right off Hartley laughed and said: "Oil let the poor devil alone Van lie's had troubles enough for one day" Hut yiiu couldn't stop that Van Hrunt critter when he gut started He makes me load the presents la my arms and takes the lamp and leads the way upstairs And then he sets to work and hangs them presents round Lord James' room lie put the colllu plates over the washstatid at Ihe foot of the bed and the wreath over the head and hung the picture of Marcel-lus over the looking-glass and the shell work by the closet tloor "Now" says he "fur the motto the crowning touch Where'' Where?" Finally he hung It on top of the bureau says he "Its influence may make James more motherly who knows?" Then we went dowustnirs and he tuade uie promise lo say buttling CHAPTER IX The "Fresh-Airers" First 1 tried that door then Hartley 1 tried It aud then Van each of us Just as soft aud quiet as possible Then I we listened Not a sound Then Van catches me by the arm und beglna to pull me and Martin back along the hall When we got to the end by the parlor door he whispers low and cautious: "We must break the door down It's locked on the Inside Better turn it lamp on the stairs Hotter turn it down too A light gives the other man all the advantage If It comes to shooting Now ready when I say the word All rush together One two "Wait a minute" whispers Hartley he was always cool-headed "Where's James?" "James?" repeats Van "What? James?" "James?" says I And then I begun to get ray senses back Wake a feller up out of a sound sleep the way we was and It takes a few minutes for him to get on earth again "James!" says I "I'll be "Idiot!" says Van speaking about 1 himself I judge Then he walks down the hall aud gives that door a kick "James" lie Sings out i- tiit you? Open this door" For a second or two there wa'n'l a sound Thou a voice says weak and chattery: "Oo-h my "What's the matter with him?" says Van "is he hurt? Where's tho key skipper? Inside of course but Where's the keyhole?" Then 1 remembered "There ain't any keyhole" 1 says "There's no lock on the door" "Then what Come on Martin" lie set his shoulder to the door and commenced to shove Me and Hartley helped and the door begun to i open It opened slow because the dining table und two or three chairs and the chest of drawers was braced against It We got in finally "Bring the lamp" says Hartley I done It The room was empty "James!" hollers Van "James!" The closet door opens Just a crack Then it swung wide und his lordship half dressed and while as tin old clamshell staggers Into the rooi'n I "Oh!" says he "Oh Mr Van Brunt sir!" He was shaking like a palsy "What alls you man?" says Hartley "Speak up" The valet rolls his eyes around to me "I seen it" he says "1 seen it plain It's 'im!" "11 Im Who?" says I "The ghost The old covo as owned this 'otise was up iu my room a waiting for me" "What are you talking about?" asks Van impatient I begun to see light hut the Heavenlies didn't not yet T-' was up in my room sir" said Lord James wild like "I 'ad me coat anil wnistcnut olT sir and then 1 goes over to the mirror intending to If me face looked as "ut as it felt And I lights my lamp and there 'e was a-ilaring at me 'K 'ad 'Is 'cad through the mirror sir And there was codlus around and wreaths It's a warning to mo sir I'm a dead man" And then we began to laugh "The presents!" says Van between roars "Sctulder's heirlooms Ho' ho!" His lordship stared nt us like he thought we was cray 1 more than half pitied him Martin did too 1 guess fur ho says: "It's all right James Just one of Mr Van Brunt's jokes You sen "But 1 saw 'iin Mr 'K was theie aud there was wreains aud Collins Natural Life?" me? Oh I cai'iate I shall like it tiptop when I got a little more used to it that is if I last I was oldest boy in a family of nine and dad died young so I was brought up Natural as you might say it's been some time though since I had so many 1 hours of straight-along pitch-in-and- hustle Naturalness in the day's run I been getting artificial and lazy of years I guess Hut I'm tough and I'll be all right and used to it pretty soon getting lots of practice By the way" I says "who was It that sent 'em here?" 1 Who?" says she looking surprised 1 "Sent? I don't understand" "Was Mr Van Hrunt and his chum sent here by the doctor or who?" "Why I didn't know they were sent at all I think they came here of their own accord" "Humph!" says I considering "Was any of their folks ever took this way? Does it run In the families?" 1 That seemed to ticklo her and I guess she understood what I meant But she didn't answer the question went on dry-polishing the pickle dish Then she says kind of accidental on purpose: "Is Mr Hartley's health improving?" "Oh yes!" says I "He's picking up 1 some 'specially in his appetite He I ain't up to Van Brunt in that line yet 1 though Van eats lor three Hartley's only up to tlie oue-iuan-and-a-boy mark so far He'd do better If he didn't have them blue streaks of his Seems to 1 have something on his mind" I "Perhaps he's troubled about leav-I ing his business" she suggests look-I Ing sideways at the pickle dish "Uuess not" says I looking side-1 ways at her "I don't think I've heard him mention business since he's been I down No 'tain't that according to my notion He ain't In love is lie?" 1 She looked at mo then pretty hard I but 1 was as wooden-faced as a cigar sign I "Dear me no" she laughs brisk "1 guess not What made you think that?" "Oh nothing" says I "I ain't ever been took that way myself but it seemed to me he had all the symptoms Didn't know but he was fretting about some young woman He's a fine chap that young Hartley It'll bo a lucky girl that gets him" She didn't say much more but she looked at me every once in a while as if she was wondering I never let on I was as innocent and easy as the cat with the cream on its whiskers I had a sneaking hope that 1 might have boosted Hartley a little mite aud I felt good down one side Thou I thought of Van and 1 felt mean all up the other After a spell the Twins and Miss Talford happened along and what a time Van Brunt made when he see his girl helping me wipe dishes "Well well!" he says "Is this the way you hurry back to 'see what tho dear children are doing?"
