After tukliig a train for fifteen unlet
Mr. Bowser wa dumped off at a coun

algn aald that Laurel grove waa half fl
mile went. There had, once been a aort
of road, but It waa now overgrown
with weede and brtera, A determlncJ
man can do much, however. Mr. Bow.
aer waa a determined mnu. He fought
off the mosquitoes and horseflies ami
finally do'iouched on the banka or a
creek. There waa one lone tree. It waa
an aged bowb. On lt trunk waa nail

The euthnalaatlc member of the C.
0. Boya looked at the lonely tree and
at the crwlf filled with driftwood and
out down on a log to wait. The outlook
did nut till hi heart with glee, but an
hour might change everything. The

It waa no una to question the boy
further. Tin-re wa Laurel grove, and
ttsre wa Pearl river, and the tent
and tbo'bflgr might come along at any
moment. There aluo might be anotlier
earthquake and kill off the horseflies
and mosquitoes. The boy got the silver

At bla call two of hla sons came run

They were hussy young men and had
a business air about Uiera.

It must be remembered that Hf.

be waa hungry for food and weary of
being bitten by the enthusiastic horae
fliea that had struck a good, thing for
tho first time this season. -v.s the three
farmera. made a break for the fence he
mode one for the bushes. They yello.l
after him, but be escaped and made bl
way to the depot.
There he sat for three mortal hours,
or until a train came aloug, and It was
0 o'clock at night when he walked in
on Mrs. Bowser. He waa aunburned
and mussed up. There were burs
sticking to" hla clothing, and there wns
dost on hla hat. Pearl river still gnr
gled In hla ears, and he caught the
atghlng of the wind through the
branchea of the lonely old beach.
"And how are the (C. 0. Boys and
camp life?" asked Mrs. Bowser as he
stood before her with a glare In his
eyes. ' " ." ''-".,,
"Woman, don't ask me!" he shouted.
"Don't speak to me! Don't even look
