BY ALICE BROWN.
"It don't seem as if we'd really got
round to it, does it, father?" asked
Mrs. Pike.
The west was paling, and the August
insects stirred the air with their croon
ing chirp. Eli and his wife sat to
gether on the washing bench outside
the back 5oor, waiting for the milk to
cool before it should be strained. She
was a large, comfortable woman, with
an unlined face, and smooth, fine au
burn hair; he was spare and somewhat
bent, with curly iron-gray locks, grow
ing thin, and crow s feet about his deep
set graj eyes. lie had been smoking
the pipe of twilight contentment, but
now he took it out and laid it on the
bench beside him.
"No; it don't seem as it 'twas goin'
to happen," he owned, "it looked
pretty dark to me all last week. It's a
?ood deal of an undertakin', come to
think it all over, a dunno's I care
about goin'."
"Why, father! After you've thought
about it so many years, an' Sereno's
got the tents strapped up, an' all! You
must be crazy!'
"Well," iaid the farmer, gently, as
he arose and went to carry the milk
pails into the pantry, calling coaxing'
lv. as he did so: "Kitty! kitty! You
iiad your milk. Don't you joggle, now!"
Mrs. Pike came ponderously to her
feet, and followed, with a heavy, sway
mg motion of one grown fleshy and
heumatic. She was not in the least
oncerned about Eli's change of mood
Je was a gentle soul, and she had al
ways been able to guide him in paths
jf her own choosing. Moreover, the
present undertaking was one involv
ing his own eood fortune, and she
.neant to tolerate no foolish scruples
vvhich might interfere with its result,
u'or Eli, though he had lived all his
ife within easy driving distance of the
icean, had never seen it. and ever
iince his boyhood he had cherished one
larling plan some day he would go
o the shore and camp out there for a
v-eek. This, in his starved imagina
ion, was like a dream of tlio Acropolis
j an artist stricken blind, or as moun
,iin outlines to the dweller in a lone
y plain. IJut the years had ilitted
ist, and the dream never seemed
:arer completion. There was always
anting, haying and harvesting to be
msidered; and though he was fairly
rosperons excursions were foreign to
.lis simple habit of life. Hut at last
his wife had stepped into the van and
organized an expedition with all the
valor of a Francis Irako.
"Now, dou't sa one word, father,"
she had said. "Wi're goin' down to
the beach, Sereuo, ai ' UntUu, an' you
an' me, tin' we're goin' to eamp out.
lor days before the date of the ex
cursion Eli hud been solemn and treuv
ulous, as with jiy; but now, on the
eve of the greut event, he shrank buck
from it, with an limit' I! nod notion that
it was like death, and that he was not
prepared. Next morning, however,
when they all rose and took their early
-i ill fiint. prenarutorv to starting at

and even went alxiut his outdoor tanks
with an alacrity calculated, as his wif
approvingly rcmui'lccd, to "for'ard the

Sercno, her husbatnl, drove into the
yard in a wagon cheerfully suggestive
of a wandering life. The tents and a
small hair trunk were stored in the
back, and the horse's pail swung be
low.
At length the two teams were ready,
and Eli mounted to his place, where he
looked very slender beside his tower
ing mate. The mrcd man stood lean
ing on the pump, ehewing a bit of
straw, and the cats rubbed against his
legs, with tails like banners.
"Well, good-by, Luke," Mrs. Pike
called over her shoulder; and Eli gave
the man a solemn nod, gathered up the
reins and drove out of the yard. Just
outside of the gate he pulled up.
"Whoa!" he called, and Luke
lounged forward. "Don't you forgit
them cats! Git up, Uollr And this
time they were gone.
For the first ten miles of the way,
familiar in being tho road to market,
Eli was placidly cheerful. The sense
that he was going to do some strange
deed, to step into an unknow n country,
dropped away from him, and he chat
ted, in his intermittent, serious fash
ion, of the crops and the lay of the
land.
The roadside was parched under an
August sun; tansy was dust-covered,
and ferns had grown ragged and gray.
The jogging horses left behind their
lazy feot a suffocating cloud.
"My land!" cried Mrs. Pike, "if that
ain't golden-rod! I do b'lieve it comes
earlier every year, or else the seasons
are changin'. See them elderberries!
Ain't they purple! You jest remember
that bush, an' whon we go back, we'll
fill some pails. 1 dunno when I've
made elderberry wine."
Like her husband, she was vaguely
excited; she began to feel as if life
would be all holidays. At noon they
stopped under tho shadow of an elm-
tree which, from its foothold in a field,
completely arched the road; and there
they ate a lunch ot pie and doughnuts,
while the horses. Ireed irom tneir
uoudbtalls, placidly munched a gen
erous feed of oats, near by.
At the lunch Eli ate sparingly, and
with a preocupied and solemn look.
"Land, father!" exclaimed his wife
"you ain't eat no more'n a bird!"
"I guess I'll go over to that well,
said he, "an' git a drink o' water. I
drink more'n I eot, if I ain't workln'."
Hut when he came back, carefully
bearing a tin pail brimming with cool,
clear water, his faee expressed disap
probation and he smacked his lips
scornfully.
"Terrible flat water!" he announced.
Tastes as if it had come out o' the
cistern. Hut the others could find no
fault with it, and Sereuo drained the
pail.
When they were wlthm three miles
f the sea it seemed to them that they
lug breeie. Tho road was ankle deep
in dust; the garden flowers were glar
ing in their brightness. It was a new
world. And when at last they emerged
from the marsh -bordered rood upon a
ridge of sand and turned a corner
Mrs. l'lke faced her husband In triumpli.
"There, father!" she cried "There
'tis."
liut F.li's eyes were fixed on the dash
board in front of him. Ho looked palo.
"Why. father," said she, impatient
ly, "ain't you goiu to look? Jt the
Boa!"
Yes, yes," said Eli, quietly; "bytne-
by. I'm goin' to put the horses up
fust"
Well, I never!" said Mrs. Pike, aim
as they nrew up on m Miuu.y true
where Sereno hud previously arranged
n place for their t-iits she added, al
most fretfully, turning to llnttie: "I
dunno what's cnino over your father.
There's the water, and ho wot.'t even
cast his eyes at it."
Hut llattie understood her rather, ly
Miiiie Intuition of love, though not of
likeness.
Don't yon bother him, ma, she
sail, "lln'lt mnko up hla tniml to It
nrettv aom. Here, le'a lift out these
little things while they re unharness
in, and then thev can ifet at the
tents."
Mr. Pike's mind was diverted by
the r llgen of lnlmr, and she anl no
nmre; but after the horses hid li-eii
put up at a iieigMnriiig house, ami
hereon, red faee, I with r arrlimi, had

"Well, I s'pose he is some tired,'
said Mrs. Pike, acquiescing, after a
brief look of surprise. "It's a good
deal of a jaunt, but I dunno but I feel
paid a'ready. Should you take out
your hairpins, llattie?"
She slept soundly and vocally, but
her husband did not close his eyes. lie
looked, though he could see nothing,
through the opening in the tent, in the
direction where lay the Bea, solemnly
clamorous, eternally responsive to
some infinite whisper from without
his world. The tension of the hour
was almost more than he could bear;
he longed for morning, in Bharp sus
pense, with the faint hope that the
light might bring relief. Just as tin
stare faded, and one luminous line pen
ciled the east, he rose, smoothed hi..
hair, and steppod softly out upon the
beach. Here he saw two shadowy fig
ures, Sereno and II attie. She hurried
forward to meet him.
"You goin' to see the sun rise, too,
father?" she asked. "I made Sereno
come. He's awful mad at bein' waked
up." Ell grasped her arm.
"llattie," he said, in a whisper,
"don't you tell. I just oome out to see
ho.v 'twas here before 1 go. I'm goin'
home I'm goin now I"
"WhSi father!" said llattie; but she
peered more closely into his face and
her tone changed. "All right," she
added. "Sereno '11 go and harness up."
"No; I'm goin to walk."
"flit fnMvrr " ,
"fcdon't mean to breakup yonr stay-
In' here, nor your mother s. Tell her
how 'twas. I'm goin' to walk."
Ilattio turnod and took her father s
hand.
I'll slip Into the tent and put up
somothin' for your breakfast and
luncheon," she said.
So Eli yielded; but before his wife
appeared he had turned his back on the
sea, where the rose of dawn was fast
unfolding. As he jogged homeward
tha dustv roadsides bloomed with
flowers of paradise and the Insects'
dry chirp thrilled liko the song of
angels. He walked into the yard just
at the turning of the day, when the
fragrant smoke of many a crackling
fire curls cheerily upward, In promise
of the evening meal.
"What's busted?" asked Luke, swing
ing himself down from his load ot fod
der corn.
"Oh, nothin'," said Ell. "I guess
I'm too old for such jaunts. I hope
you didn't forgit them cat." Meadow

MAYOR OF RING'S ISLAND.
Ileal h
colk'.rrra'.ter killed himself a few days
later by taking poison. Ring was of
small stature and his head was far be
low the medium size. He had no edu
cation and was not a fluent talker, but
it has been admitted for years that he
possessed a strange influence over the
criminals and desperate characters
with whom he came in contact. Ring
had never heard of hypnotism, and had
no name for the peculiar power he pos
sessed. A false charge of larceny was
once made against King by an officer
who was probably envious of the little
man's power to control the reckless
toughs on the island, and he was ar
raigned before a magistrate. Scores of
the reckless characters from the island
and other places attended the trial,
and had Ring not been vindicated there
would doubtless have been bloodshed
in the courtroom.
Great Swimming Feat.
Martin Sullivan, a white sailor on
the cruiser Minneapolis, now at the
Norfolk navy yard, was ironed recently
for desertion. He escaped from his
cell the other night and while hand
cuffed leaped overboard and swam
across the river to Berkley, half a mile
away. He hid under a raft while the
cruiser svVept the water with her search
lights. When they were turned olf he
made his way to Berkley, where some -negroes
filed his handcuffs oil. lie
then exchanged his uniform for citi
zen's clothes und engaged to work his
passage to New York on a barge. When
a launch from the yard passed the
barge ho hid in a boiler, but was sub
sequently captured.

of an O1I1I Chararlar Who Was
Wall Known In Mlaaourl.
Jack Blng. kuown for a quurter of a
century as the mayor of King's Island,
died recently at his home in the middle
of the river, south of St. Joseph, Mo.,
says the St. Louis Post-Disputeh. Ho
wus the ruler of the settlement known
