Lazy Tom Blake
V7
Tom Mlake was lazy at least, all
the uelgblHtrs said so: and bls'sharp
tongued maiden aunt Impressed the
fact uMin his mind very forcibly, at
leant a xre of times each day.
I'oor Tom! Ills was a dreary boy
hood. Nature had given him a big,
dimmy frume. and a aliamlillng gait.
wklle hi ruined, homely feature were
liberally besnuttered with freckles, lie
was 111 ye.irs old, and "I.agy Tom" wa
the only name by which he waa ever
culled by the luhahltauts of the Maine
village where he bad always lived.
He was the youngest of a large fam
lly. All the older children had left the
bjineNtead. and, sluce his unit her died
and his elderly aunt bad kept house
for 1.1 tit. life had not been a bed of
ruse for' Tom.
The lajy had nm'iltlon. I'nder bl
iiiiIircpowM-tutltig exterior there was a
wealth of uudevelojied energy, which
had never been awakend. lie did not
like to split wood and curry water,
but this wa more on account of the
dislike be felt for his Aunt Mania,
from whom the order always came.
than from the trouble of didug the
work, for Tom waa almost a man In
strength already. .
No matter what he did, It was al-
waya wrung. lie had bonently tried to
please her ninny times, but his. boots
would leure mud on tbe spotless kit
chen floor, and, tbe wood wus never
rut to her liking; , after a while lie
fell Into a fashion of doing everything
In a meclyinlcal, lUtless way, which
she cilled ."tupiillty."
Now, Tom was nit stupid. lie knew
every Inch of the forest for ten miles
around. He was a goul shot, so many
fat partridge found Its way Into the
family larder and ninny a string of
H'iklt trout wns turned over to bia
aunt, without a word of thanks.
He bad learned all the village school-
master could Impart, and no plans bv.d
been made for his future, but he had
an ambition of which no one dreamed.
He wan titl to lie a civil engineer.
His knowledge of the science ItxHf
was very vague, until be had watched
the surveyor proHiectliig In the neigh
borhood the previous lummer for a
route for a promised new line of rall
rimd. Then his curlosnty was thor
oughly aroused.
The theodolite waa a mystery to
him, but he saw at on.-e that the life
Itnelf waa a free, out-of-door calling,
exactly to his liking. Ho overcame
his natural shyness sufficiently to ask
countless questions of the men, and
after that be bad hut one aim In life.
leep In the wood he had found nn
ld cave, while out hunting, and there
he would pass hours at a time, poring
jver a few Isioka which he had ob
tained from the old man wlio bad once
Been the local surveyor.
Slow In speech and delllierate In bis
movements, he hud gullied the title of
"l.nzy Tom," but this dclllierntlon was
if great benefit to lilin In his studies.
What he learned, he learned thorough
ly. and although sndly hand lea pied by
the want of a teacher, he had made
gid progress In the months be had
devoted to this nll-ahsorhlug delight
Hut this was not all. He had a tre
mendous secret u bl tuiud, which he
hiul never mentioned.
When bis aunt was unusually cross,
he would steal off to his Utile retreat
In the woods and Indulge In dreams
which, to his boyish lulud, seemed 'cer
tain of fulfillment.
Summer had ' rolled around once
more, and hi aunt said, one day:
"That great, laiy boy should go to
work. He ought to be earning bl
bread anj butter."
Tom na not consulted In the mat
ter, hut he was afterward tolr hy bis
father that he was to be hired out to a
nelglitmrlng farmer.
Now. If there was one life more dl
tasteful than all others to Tom. It was
that of a farmer. He hated It cordial
ly, and this announcement aroused him
to 'turn.
He stood meekly while Aunt Marcla
delivered a long lecture on "shlftless
ness." and then went to bis little room
In the attic.
I "Mercy on us!" exclaimed A ant Mar
cia. a half hour later, as Tom appear
,ed again. "What on earth la going to
I hspen? If he hasn't gone and nut on
his bent clothes! You ain't going to
run away, are you?"
"No. aunt" said Tom. quietly.
Then he hesitated, and shifted nnoa.
lly from one foot to tbe other.
"Well, what are yoa dressing up
for?" demanded she.
Tom looked at ber steadily.
"I'm going to try to get a Job more
to my liking than working on a farm,"
be replied, flrmljr.
Aunt Marcla waa apeechless. There
wa a manly, aelf-confldent ring In the
boy voice that aha did not recognlge,
and the found no words at command a

The few villager be met wondered
at bis uuusuully erect carriage and

too full of bla Idea to notice tbelr com

Only the day before he bad seen tbe
workmeu arrive to breuk ground for
the new railroad, and be knew that the
portly old gentleman at the hotel waa
Colonel Thornton, one of tbo chief dJ
rector In the enterprise.
Hi heart almost failed him aa be
drew near the hotel, for there was the
object of hi eiirch, seated uiku tbe
piazza enjoying a cigar.
Tom hesitated a moment, and then

said. In bis deliberate way:
"No, sir; but I think I can show you
how to save a lot of money In build

The Colonel stared, then broke Into a
hearty laugh.
Tom stood motionless, and, as the
tnnn saw the deep flush creep Into tbe
lad' face, he an Id, good-naturedly:
"You do? Well, 1 suptiose you would
be willing to sell your valuable knowU
edge. Here Is a dime. Is It worth any
more than that?"
Tom took no notice of the Colonef
outstretched hand, but begun searching
bis pockets.
Then be drew out a folded paper
which evidently had been handled un
til It was far from clean.
There was a little table at the Colo
nel elbow; niwu this the hoy spread
out what the Colonel saw at once was
a rough map of the locality.
"This line laid out lust summer Is
here." explained Tom, pointing to a
broad mark across the paper.
"Yes. yes," replied Colonel Thornton,
"and It Is very correctly drawn, my
lad. You would muke a good draughts
man with projier teaching. Hut what
la thl dotted line right through Black
Mountain?"
"That la what I cam "to see you
about," Tom fairly whispered In hit ex
citement "It I a very good idea, no doubt"
tbe railroad man replied, facetiously
"but unfortunately. It won't work'
iMi't you know that It would cost a
fortune to cut through that bill?"
Tom a eyes sparkled.
"5upKise you didn't have to cut
through It?" be asked.
"Nonsense!" saij tne Ccfonel, is he
arose and threw away the stump of bl
cigar. "Railroad do not run over hill
like that and I hould have Imagined
a boy who can draw like this would
have more sense than to come bother
ing a busy man with auch an absurd
Idea."
Hut Tom did not budge,
up bl map and said :
He folded
"How much money would It aav
you If you could run through that hill
without cutting a passage?"
There waa auch earnestness In hit
manner that bla bearer looked keenly
at him a moment before replying.

Five mile by road and two more

response.
Very wtii. I'll go with you my

The Colonel was a man of action.
In fifteen oiluutes be wa seated by
Tom' side la a light road wagon, while
a small boy wii stowed lu behind to
care for the team while they were in
the bush.
A they drove along tbe Colonel
questioned Tom closely In regard to
the discovery, gad tbe replica be re

lom announced they could drive no
further, he waa couvluced that tbe boy
hud stumbled upon a passage through
tbe bills which meant tbe saving of
thousand of dollars, besides shorten
Ing the time of transit between the two
stations.
It was not eaay work, plunging
through tbe thick undergrowth, but
Tom went forward without hesitation.
The Colonel puffed and wheezed at tbe
unusual exertion, but he struggled man
fully on afterj bit youthful guide.
At length ij paused, until bia com

a wouudftlpartridge ran In behind that
bush theredown by tbe bottom of that
big rock. I went after him and Just
see what I found!"
The Colmel followed him to the
clump of buhes, and Tom drew aside
a mas of miming vines from tbe face
of the rot and disclosed a narrow
openng, aarcely wide enough to ad
mit a man'i body.
'Come." aij Tom.
And the Colonel followed hlra with
out a word.
The fissure turned sharply; after a
few feet, mil. to th3 Colonel amaze
ment, he found himself standing In a
clean cutting between two rocky aides,
at least two hundred feet high.
The ravlnt was fully thirty feet wide
and with the exception of a few email
stones, waa ts smooth a a floor un

It Is needle, to follow them In their
explorations. The Colonel saw that
Tom had told the simple truth. At
either end of the ravine a few charge
of dynamite would be su i-ient to clear
a passage, while very little grading
would he needed on tbe way. Then the
two returned to the hotel.

because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however,
the body is fed oa weak. Impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various
ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the diiferent skin affections

much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are
