SARGENT lYrklns1 real name was Cheater Al bert Montgomery rtlater, and It was his graceless uucle, Jack Ptlster, who bad shortened It to Perklua, a title th bearer wore with meek resignation. It waa Jack .'Aster also who hnd de clared Perkins to have beeu born professional philanthropist. From hi babyhood Perklua had beeu possessed by a love of giving excelled only by bis desire that his gift be heralded to the world. Mrs. Ptlster labored. In vain to Instill Into his nilud the value ot unos tentatious charity. One she had even sought to enforce her argument by aid ot a hairbrush, only to find her off spring ao hour later watching a lame boy eat the apple given him a a balm for hla wounded feelings and gleefully Informing the paseeraby that It waa through hla sa critic that th other's enjoyment had been brought about After that she decided that It would be well to wait until rerklna should hare arrived at more mature years be fore continuing her argument Then one afternoon Jack arrived with Per kins under hla arm, the boy dad only la hla trousers. Between roars of laughter Jack described how Perkins had atarted In by giving hla ahoea to a barefooted bootblack and, enthused by the Imaginary appreciation of the pa aereby, who had been attracted by the unusual sight had gradually parted with hla raiment piece by piece, until hla uncle's opportune arrival alone had saved the youngest member of the house ot POster from coming home In a barrel and a state of nature. airs. Poster decided that heroic measures were necessary at once and turned Perkins over to hla father. The latter succeed ed In convincing hla son that popular applause was not an es sential accompaniment to. charity and that secrecy and good Judgment were more to be praised than ostentation all ot which, being reduced to words of one and two syllable, was duly ab sorbed by Perkins. That night at th table Perkins was permitted to come In for dessert, and he gMvely listened to an argument be tween Jack and pretty Grace Tyson a iM IT WAS TOO PtTOIiIO A ThlCM TO XIBS JACK SHI KI8SID PKHS.INS. to the vain of fresh air fund. It was bobby with Miss Tyson, and Jack waa Jealous of the time she devoted to the fund because it interfered with their mutual pleasure. Perkins drank in Miss Tyson's glow. tog description of th Joys of th city child in the country and the willing ness of the farmers to take them for a week. Be decided that she must b right, though. II waa unacquainted with fresh air funds. Usually b was sent to the country In May, but this year, some especial club business re quiring his mother's presence in town, their departure bad been deferred. Fresh air funds, be gathered, meant taking poor children to the country, where the farmers fed them fresh milk and let them walk on the grass. Such enterprises were greatly to be sppror ed, sine Uncle Jack condemned them. It had been through Uncle Jack be had had that awful hour with bis fa ther In the library. Of course he did not know that after dinner, In th same library, Grace handed back her ring, declaring that she could not mar ry a man so thoroughly selfish. Had he seen Jack Pflster pacing th floor of his room that evening even Perkins might nave been sorry. But sine it waa not considered nec essary to Inform Perkins of bis uncle's affairs he continued In the belief that fiesh air funds were most excellent things to be encouraged. They were very simple too. It would be easy to find a lot of poor children, and his Uncle Montgomery would finance th affair. It was to that maternal rela tive that he applied the following1 Doming, dropping casually Into trls office. Fire dollars was promptly forthcoming, Mr. Montgomery having no idea that th donation was for Per kins' own particular fund. Armed with th crisp note, Perkins rounded tip bait a doxen small boys and Invited thetn for a two weeks' trip to the country. These lie march' ed to the railway sUitlon, and on hit vague announcement that It was a fresh air fund the ticket seller fell Into the error of supposing that It waa a belated part of au excursion which bad gone out that very morning front tha real society, lie provided Perkins with tickets to a towu a short distance up the river. With the change Perkins purchased a generous luncheon of cough drops and peanuts, and, thus equipped, the flint personally conducted excursion of the Perkins freab air fund made a start. it was a ride of an hour and a half by slow train to their deatinaUon, Ths lunch disappeared, and th) children were tired and quarrelsome, vtnen Perkins, with blind confidence, au Bounced himself and bis party aa a fresh air fund and detuauded to be shown the fanners who delighted to take In children, the station agent, who had been tormented that morulng try lug to handle the real party, promptly sent for the police force of two cou stablea. Th party waa taken Into custody. Huddled into one small room In the village lockup thlnga were not well with Perklna. He had promised an outing, and Instead they had been ar rested. Boyllke they took prompt and summary vengeance upon Perkins, who formed the lowest layer of a pyramid of six energetic youths Just as Mia Ty son waa ushered Into th room. Th constables soon separated the combat ants, and bit by bit the story came out Miss Tyson first laughed; then she cried, and .then ahe kissed Perkins very great many time, for Perkins favored hla motherand Jack raster. Meanwhile there was anxiety In the Pflster home. Perkins bad not come home for lunch. All of the relatives were telephoned, and a clew waa se cured from Mr. Montgomery, who re lated the Incident of the Ore dollar do nation. Jack POstea quick wit solved the rest of the problem. Perkins' freaks were a constant source ot delight to him, and he saw in a moment how th argument of the night before bad borne fruit A telephone Inquiry at th rail road station continued hi theory, and barely bad Mlaa Ty T uinde Perkins and his companions comfortable at the "fund" headquarters when Jack ar rived on an express and made straight for the headquarters as the first place of inquiry. Perkins did not know whether Jack was the more glad to see him or Miss Tyson, but be wss certain that Miss Tyson cried very much more over Jack than she had over him. At any rat bis explanation that be was merely trying to carry out the paternal injunc tion not to make a display of his good works fell upon unheeding tare, for Jack waa protesting that he had been a cad the night before, and Miaa Tyson was vehemently declaring that 41 waa a shamefully neglected snd decidedly dear boy, which explanation being made she took back the ring. Then because It was too public a place to kiss Jack she kissed Perkins even more than she had lu the lockup, to that young man's great bewilder ment, for it bad been more than an hour since he bad been found. Then be and Uncle Jack went back to town, where Perkins waa made much of by the family. "I think," he said late In the evening aa his golden head drooped drowsily upon his mother's shoulder, "that when you don't tell more people And out than when you do." With which sage con clusion be went to bed, while Jack Pflster went to the library to write to Grace. A Mas. "Bo," said the bead of the firm, "you've decided to go into business for yourself, have you? Do you think yon can make more money that way than we are paying you?"

When you happen to be sick you're not docked, snd I've always made It a rule to treat my men as well as I know how. If it isn't going to be to your financial advantage I ean't see why you want to wave us. "Well, yon see, I was reading the other day that no man can serve two masters, snd I've been thinking about it a good deal since and about made op my mind that it's so." "Two masters?

DEVICE OF TONNAGE DUTIES Estimated That $5,000,000 a Year Can be Produced by the tsvy of Duties. New York. Dec. I. Local shipping circles were warmly enhualastlc yo lerday over the character of th bill which the congressional commission on merchant marine will recommend for passage, an outline of which waa con tained In Washington dispatches. While unofficial, the published descrlp tluns of the bill ars quit accurate, al though they or naturally not yet com plete as to many details. The device of tonnage duties on ail vessels entering ports of in I nnu Slates and the creation thereby of a fund for the subsidising of American vessels of ail cliiaae and tonnage, ex cept mail lines otherwise provided for. was erected aa A satisfactory avenue of escape from ths former unpleasant alternative of A direct suhaldy or a dls- .t.av. The da. far mini being a new one. was cmootnpu m .. nf the earlloat maritime policies of the tnlted Htfttes and was employed with beneficent results at a time when American shipping was less lit need of assistance than now. In fact, the nriulnnl tinman tax law has never been renealed. but under an act of eon- areas of May U. MM. the imposition of discriminating tonnage taxes' has by a ..iM.tn(inl nroclamatlon and by treaties been so modified that the ton- mine tax are Insignificant In com ,i..,n with those of other maritime nowers. For instance, France Impose a tax of one franc per ton on " veswis, French and foreign, that enter ner norts and thus creates a fund which Is administered In subsidies much as the marine commission proves to ao in ihi. enuntrv. The Itrltlsh governmeni Imposes a ligntnouse local authorities of different ports add various duties. In general way, may be said that itrltlsh tonnage taxes are about three times as great as iu nf this country. Norway charges j cents a ton and other nations varying rntes. Two distinct features are emoouieo In ths bill which will be presented to rnmrreas. a tonnage tux and po""" subsidy. The first is ine inimniuii tonnage tax on all vessels. Amen nun nn.l fore an alike , entering any seaport of the country, al a rate cal culated to produce under present con- .lltlnna nl.nllt 15 000.000 & yeAT. A tax of 25 cents a ton would easily do this and it Is not supposed that any hlsiier rate will be advocated. The entire fund thus raised will be devoted to the subsidising on a basis of tonnage and miles sailed, of all vessels of American register at all engaged In the foreign trade. A system will have to be de vised for the equitable distribution of this money to all American vessels, no matter of what class or slxe, Inas much as the tax will be enforced against all. Inasmuch as an overwhelming pro portion of the American carrying trade Is done by foreign vessels, it Is appar ent that the owners of these will be obliged, In the first Instance, at least, to provide their American competitors with the lnew of war. The report of the commission of navigation for the fiscal year ended June 3, 1904, shows the tonnage entering American ports during that period to have been 24,(79, (92 tons, of which 3.8H t.03 tons were American and 20,(1(,(S( were foreign, figures that sufficiently Indicate where the tat would chiefly fall.
