I To my utter surprise he resumed his
talk: with me as tho young man went
way.
"Ton see all ways are north when
yon put this lodcstone near the
needle" ho went on. "If it Is to tell
you the truth you must keep tho lode-
atone away from the needle. It's that
way too with tho compass of your
soul partner. There tho lodcstone Is
aelflshness and with its help you can
make any direction look right to you
and soon you're lost"
He bound the last bundle and then
we walked together toward the bouse
the senator carrying his sickle.
I "I shall Introduce you to the presi-
dent" he said as we neared our des-
tination. "Then perhaps yon had bet-
ter leave us."
I could not remember that I had
ever been "Introduced" to anybody. I
knew that people put their wits on ex-
hibition and often flung down a "snag"
by way of demonstrating their fitness
"for tho honor when they were intro-
duced in books. I remember asking
rather timidly:
"What shall I say when when you
Introduce met"
"Oh say anything you want to say"
he answered with a look of amuse-
ment "I'm kind o' scared" I said.
Tfou needn't be he was once a
poor boy Just like you."
"Just like mel" I repented thought
fully for while I had heard a good
deal of that kind of thing in our home
It bad not somehow got under my
Jacket as they used to say.
"Just like you cowhide and all
the son of a small freeholder in Kln-
derhook on tho Hudson" ho went on.
"But he "was well fed In brain and
body and kept his heart clean. So of
course he grew and is still growing.
That's a curious tiling about men and
women Bart If they are in good
ground nnd properly cared for they

that's a pretty full word Isn't it?
We had come In sight of tho house.
I lagged behind a little when I saw

"It is a pleasure to bo here and a
regret to call you back to Washing-
ton" said the president as they shook
hands.
"I suppose that means an extra ses-
sion" the senator answered.
"First let me reassure you. I shall
get away as soon as possible for I
know that a president Is a heavy bur-
den for one to have on his bands."
"Don't worry. I can get along with
almost any kind of A human being es-
pecially If ho like pudding and milk as
well as you do" said the senator who
tben Introduced me in these words:
"Mr. President this Is my young
friend Barton Baynes of the neigh-
borhood of XJckltyspllt in the town
of Ballybeen a coming man of this
county."
"Come on" was the playful remark
of tho president as he took my hand.
"I shall be looking for you."
I had carefully chosen my words
and I remember saying with some dig-
nity like one In a story book although
with a trembling voice:
"It Is an honor to meet yon sir and
thank you for the right to vote when
I am old enough." ' '
Vividly too X remember his gentle
smile as he looked down at me and
said In a most kindly tone:
"I think It a great honor to hear
you say that"
Ho put his hands upon my shoulders
and turning to tho senator said:
"Wright I often wish that I had
your modesty."
"I need It much moro than you do"
tno senator laughed.
Straightway I left them with an
awkward bow and blushing to tho
roots of my hair.
As I neared the home of Mr. Hacket
I heard hurrying footsteps behind mo
nnd tho voice of Sally calling my name.
I stopped and faced about
How charming she looked as she
walked toward mo 1 I had never seen
her quite so fixed up.
"Bart" she said. "I suppose you're
not going to speak to me."
"If you'll speak to mo" I answered.
"I love to speak to you" she Bald.
"I've been looking all around for you..
Mother wants you to corao over to
dinner with us at Just twelve 'o'clock.
You're going away with father as soon
as we get through;'
I wanted to go but got the notion all
at once that tho Dunkelbergs were In
need of Information about me and that
the time had come to Impart It So
then and there that ancient Olympus
of our family received notice as It
wero.
"I can't" I said. Tve got' to study
ray lessons before I go away with your
father."
It was a blow to her. I saw the
shadow that fell upon her face. She
was vexed and turned and ran away
.from me without another word and I
felt a pang of regret as I went to the
lonely 'and deserted home of the
schoolmaster.
.At twelve-thirty Mr. Dunkelberc
came for me with a high-stepping
horse la a pew harness and a shiny
still-running buggy. He wore gloves
and a beaver hat and sat very erect
and had little to say.
"I hear you met the president" he
remarked.
"Yes sir. I was introduced to him
this morning" I answered a. bit too
proudly and woariorlng bow he had
heard of my good fortune but deeply
gratinea at nis Knowledge of it
"What did he.have to say?"
I described tho Interview and the
looks of the great man. Not much
more was said as we sped away
toward the deep woods and the Ugh
hills.
I was eager to get home bat won-
dered why he should be going with me
to talk with Mr. Grimshaw and my
uadef Of coarse I suspected that It
had to do with Amos hut how I knew
not He hummed la the rough going
and thoughtfully flicked the bushes
with bis whip. I never kaew a

The table was spread with 'tho
things I enjoyed most big brown bis-
cuits and a great comb of honey sur-
rounded with Its nectar and n pitcher
of milk and a plate of cheese and eomo
Jerked meat and an applo pie.
"Set right down nn' cat I Just
want to see yo eat ayes I do I"
Mr. Grimshaw came soon after we
hnd finished our luncheon. He hitched
bis horso at tho post nnd came In.
Good day" ho said onco nnd for
nil as ho camo In at tho open door.
"Baynes I want to havo a talk with
you and the boy. Tell mo what you
know about that murder."
"Wal I had some business over to
Plnttsburg" my undo begnn. "Whllo
I was thero I thought I'd go and seo
Amos. So I drove out to Bcekman's
farm. They told me that Amos bad
left thero after workln' four days.
They gave him fourteen shllllns nn'
he was goln' to tako the etago In tho
mornhV. Ho left some tlmo In the
night an' took Bcekman's rifle with
him so they said. Thero was a pleco
o' wood broke out o' tho stock o'the
rifle. That was the kind o' gun that
was used In tho murder."
It surprised mo that my uncle knew
all this. He had said nothing to mo
of his Journey or Its result
"How do you know?" snapped Mr.
Grimshaw.
"This boy seo It plain. It wot a
gun 'with a pleco o wood broke out
o' the stock."
"Is that so?" was tho brusque de-
mand of the money lender as be
turned to me.
"Yes sir" I answered.
"The boy lies" be snapped and
turning to my uncle added: "Yer mad
'cause Tm tryln' to make ye pay yer
honest debts ain't ye now?"
Uncle Peabody keeping his temper
shook his head and calmly said: "No
I alu' anything agln' you or Amos
but it's got to bo so that a man can
travel the roads o' this town without
gettln' his head blbwed off."
Mr. Dunkelberg turned to me and
asked: .
"Are yon euro that the stock of the
gun you saw was broken?"
"Yes sir and I'm almost sure it
wns Amos that ran away with It"
"Why?"
"I picked up a stono and threw It
nt him and It grazed the left sldo of
his face nnd the other night I saw
tho scar It made."
My aunt and undo and Mr. DunkcT-
bcrg moved with astonishment as I
spoke of tho scar. Mr. Grimshaw
with keen eyes fixed upon me gave a
llttln grunt of Incredulity.
"Huh I Liar 1" ho muttered.
"I am not a liar" I declared with In-
dignation whereupon my aunt nngrlly
stirred the fire in the stove and Uncle
Peabody put his hand on my arm nnd
said:
"Hush Bart I Keep your temper
son."
"If you tell these things you may
bo tho means of sending an Innocent
boy to his death" Mr. Dunkelberg said
to me. "I wouldn't bo too suro about
em If I were you. It's so easy tobo
mistaken. You couldn't be sure In the
dusk that the stone really hit him
could you?"
I answered: "Yes sir I saw the
stone hit and I saw him put his hand
on the place whllo ho .'was running.
I guess It hurt blm some."
"Look a' hero Baynes" Mr Grim-
shaw began In that familiar scolding
tone of his "I know what you want
an' we might Jest as well git right
down to business first as last You
keep this boy still an' I'll give ye five
years' Interest"
Aunt Dcel gave a gasp and quickly
covered her mouth with her hand.
Uncle Peabody changed color as he
rose from his chair. with a Btrange look
on his face. He swung his big right
nana in me air as be said:
"By the eternal Jumpln'
He stopped pulled down the left
sleeve of bis flannel shirt and walked
to the water' pall and drank out of
toe dipper.
"Say Mr. Grimshaw Tm awful sorry
xor ye- sua my nncie as be returned
to his chair "but Tve always learnt
this boy to tell the truth an' the hull
truth. I know the danger I'm In.
We're gettio' old. It'll be hard to
start ovsr ag'ln an' you can ruin us
If ye want to an' I'm as scared o' ye

boy baa got to tell the truth right out
plain. I couldn't muzzle him If I
tried he's too much of a man. If
you're scared o the truth you mils'
know teat Amos Is guilty."
Mr. Grimshaw shook his bead with
eager aad beat the floor with the. end
of his cane.
"Nobody knows anything o the kind
Baynes" said Mr. Duakelberg. "Of
course Amos never thought o' killing
anybody. He's a harmless kind of a
boy. I knowhlm well aid so do you.
Uader.r the circumstances Mr. Oriro-
ahaw U afraid 'that Barf a story will

Again Grimshaw laughed between
his teeth ns ho looked at my uncle.
In his view every man had his price
"I seo that I'm tho mouso an' you'ro
tho cat" ho resumed as that curious
laugh rattled In his throat "Look a'
here Baynes I'll tell ye what I'll do.
I'll cancel tho hull mortgage."
Again Undo Peabody roso from his
chair with n look In his faco which 1
hnvo never forgotten. How his voice
rang outl
"No sir I" ho shouted so loudly that
wo all Jrmpod to our feet nnd Aunt
Dcel covered her fnco with her apron
nnd began to cry. It was llko tho ex-
plosion of n blast Then tho frag-
ments began falling with n loud crash:
"NO SHU Yn CAN'T BUY THE

It was llko tho 6hout of Israel from

end and tho chickens cackled nnd the
qld rooster clapped his wings and
crowed with all tho power of his lungs.
Every member of that little group
stood stock still nnd breathless.
I trembled with a fear I could not
havo defined. Mr. Grimshaw 6huffled
out of the door his rano rapping the'
.floor as If his arm had been stricken
with palsy In n moment 7
Mr. Dunkelberg turned to my aunt
his face scarlet and muttered nn apol-
ogy for tho disturbance and followed
the money lender. '
"Corao on Bart" Uncle Peabody
called cheerfully as ho walked toward
tho barnyard. JLet's go. an' git In
them but'nuts." '
He paid no attention to our 'Vlsln
tors neither did my aunt who fol-
lowed ua. The two men talked to-
gether a moment unhitched their
horses got Into their buggies and
drove away. tfr
"Wal I'm surprised at Mr. Horace
Dunkelberg tryln'- to come It over us
like that ayes I I be" said Atrnt DeoL
"Wal I ain't" said Uncle Peabody
"01' Grimshaw has got him under his
thumb that's what's the matter.
You'll find he's up to his ears in debt
to Grimshaw prob'ly."
As we followed him toward the
house he pushing the wheelbarrow
loaded with sacks-of nuts be added!
"At last Grimshaw has found some-
thin' that he can't buy an' ho's awful
surprised. Too bad ho didn't learu
that lesson long ago."
Ho stopped his wheelbarrow by the'
steps and wo sat down together on
the edge of tho stoop as ho added: n
"I got mad they kep' plckln'on m
so I'm sorry but I -couldn't help ltt
well start up ag'ln somewhere it wu
havo to. There's a good many days'
work In me yet"
As wo carried the bags to the attic
room I thought of the lodestone and
the compass and knew that Mr.-.Wrlght
had foreseen what was likely to hap-
pen. When we came down Undo Pea-
body said to me:
"I feel sorry awful sorry for that
boy."
We spent a silent afternoon gather-
ing apples. After supper we played
old sledge and my uncle had hard
work to keep us In good countenance.
We went to bed early and I lay long

I wni sitting In tho stuffy llttlo depot
of n prairie town. A "norther" was
jroulliiK' ii roll ml outside nnd whistling
mournfully 'about the encs. A' lone
drummer two or threo farmers nnd
myself wcru waiting for the local go-
ing west n swnlng Combination of ono
rickety passenger coach any number of
freight enrs and a sputtering little hog-
buck engine.
The train made dally trip but on
Its return each afternoon or midnight
bocnini'Nn. .1 Instead of No. 1 Its west-
bound cognomen.
Tho road boasted of another train
subject also to dally chnngq.nt num-
bers No. 2 nnd No. 4 n real passen-
ger train duo late In tho afternoon
and likely to arrive ut any tlmo there-
T.
On this particular morning No. 1
known by the boys as "Tho Great Un-
limited" wns also late. No ono was
surprised. The drummer who hnd
worked the whole town since break-
Fast mill had thou defeated nil the local
checker champions wns trying to kill
tlii)oJy dozlng'ln n corner or slapping
at some stray tly.
I had kept nwnke watching his an-
tics for n whllo then discovered n dirt-
dauber's nest on n horseshoe over n
door and for nn hour or so divided
time between wondering how; that Indi-
vidual discovered that n horseshoe
brought good luck and listening to tio
progress of a domino gnme In the ofllce
between the agent and tho only druy-
man In town.
Suddenly the outer door opened with
a trash. A man a woman and several
children entered showing by all signs
In sight or hearing that they were emi-
grants or ns locally termed "movers."
Tho womnn wns carrying In ono
hand nn old umbrella a frying-pan
nnd a bird cage with a' half-grown rab-
bit In It. In the other hand she had a
hntbox. Under one arm was a square
boxlike old clock nnd from her wrist
hung a bag that bulged with a conglom-
eration of nrtlcles.
- Behind tho woman came a girl of
perhaps eight years carrying another
clock of different shape and an nnx-lohs-looklng
gray cat that seemed to
have Its attention divided between fear
of fulling and tho desire to eat the rab-
bit TJie man carried nothing but a big
.fo-tJbRwIJng babyof two years
wrapped up" In n red and gre'en
.blanket. Other children followed some
carrying various articles some crying
others eating peanuts.
'The children all enmo Into tho depot
readily enough but seemed to hnvo no
further Idea what was expected of
them and stood. gazing at tho lurid
posters maps and excursion notices or
stumbled over seats and suitcases. .
"Now set down I" commanded tho
mother "and don't stand arouid gapln'
'llko n lot'o' eeglotsl"
Tho youthful "movers" broko ranks
poniu to clamber Into seats others to
go on a tour of Inspection of every-
thing wthln rnngo. Tho mother pushed
ono. clock under a seat found a lamp
bracket for tho bird cage nnd sat down
with tho tmby and tho other clock In
hor lap" having deposited 'tho bag on
'tho sent hesldo her.
Then the clock under tho sent begnn
to strike lustily. As It finished the
p)j;t.y)-R1cveiith stroke tho alarm In the
clockj In her Inp went off with such n
bang that the baby took fright and fell
olftltH. mother's lap onto tho floor with
fresh yells of terror.
I"Btolo a look over tho top of my
magazine behind which I hnd been try-"
Ing to screen myself nnd vainly tried
to catch the drummer's ejel but lie wns
gnzlm? out of the vIildow pinching him-
self to keep froinVdlsturblug the peace.
The baby In falling .landed some-
where nenr the middle of the catch-all
bug and the mother made i plungo for
It ns If the child were on fire. Then
ihc clock In her Ian becan striking
MjiHo'tinknowri hour. '
.."Now. Elvlry." she. shrieked "thero
.yoifcye went nnd done It I I bet you
broke yo paw's- mushtash-rup."
orThe gnardlnn of the household ef-
fects hnd Just rearranged the baby tho

inggilze missed her llrst-bdrn a'shock-
jiU'iiiyM uiy wiiu nuy( mn reiimiueu in
tli'wnltlng rpoiu long nfer the'nrrlvnl
iqf.-.thu family.
The baby .was at once deposited
upon the floor where It bellowed
wrathfully. The panic-stricken wom-
an sped for the door Jerked It open
and set up n shrill:
"JJus-s-terl 4'ou B-u-s-t-e-rl Bus-ter-r-r-rl"
winding up with an ear-
splitting whoop.
The wind made straight In nt the
door for the papers on tho agent's
neglected desk.The freight bills flew
over the ofllce and disturbed the check-
er game long enough for the agent' to
Interfere with the remark: "Here I'll
bust you I"
Then as he leaned out of the ticket
window far euough tosee that the of-
fender was a woman his chivalry got
the bei(er of htm and he toned down
a bit naylng: "iadsra f you don't
shut that door I wolt have a paper
In the house and they will be' suing
me for scaring 1 the horses out of
town or chbkln' up the Brazos' river."
The. woman yelled on' obliviously for
some time then muttering "1 bet he
senrch of her wandering boy .Buster.
Things wero getting so Interesting
that the drummer passed me the wink
nnd slunk out of tho other doori I fol-
lowed. I
"You go ono way" snld he 'land PH
go the other."
Wc wanted to rec the old hen when
she lit nnd we did. Out at thojfnrther
end of tho "platform we turned oppo-
site corners Just as she sailed down on
her runnwny. i
He hnd n cotton boo by thojhnndle
nnd to Its neck n cord tw$ yards
long ho had tied a flop-eared half-
breed dog. He was slttfng on the pint-
form holding tho hoc hamllo and dog
In fishing style ns If ho had i bite.
"Buster!" yelled tho approaching as-
sailant. "Whn' chu mean runnln' off
an' tho trnln nhout to start?" J
"Why maw" drnwleti the boy "the
train ain't como yet and pnw lAnile mo
leave old Tlgo out here whllo we went
to the depot nn' he's cold." J"'
"Well I guess you'll warm'.hlni up
holdln' him here by the hnudlol I'll
kill thnt fool dog!" sho stormed but
aimed n blow nt tho boy's head. He
dodged readily nnd stlil clung' to the
hoc handle whllo the whining dog
huddled against the platform with his
tall safely between his legs
Just then tho hng-lmck squealed In
tho distance nnd the wnrllko mother
set off to gather her belongings pre-
paratory to boarding tho train.
She took down tho blrdxngc; got an
arm about ona clock seized the'um-
brelln nnd bag again gave vociferous
commands to the children to "git them
things nnd git on thnt train" nnd mnr-
shnled them tn a long line by the track
whllo No. 1 como clattering In.
Most of the passengers wero in no
hurry to get aboard as No. 1' usually
stopped nn hour or two long enough
for a drummer to "work" the town
nnd catch the same train for the next.
But today those aboard had been
thero so long they wero anxious to get
off and soon the family phalanx was
broken up by the crowd. After the
jlrummcr arid I hnd secured scats we
looked out and saw tho woman with
the clock and caged rabbit racing up
and down the platform calling at
every Jump: "Jerrl-ral-aah-hh n
As this was a new name we soon
figured thai the husband -had escaped -whllo
she had been looking for the
missing Buster. The. drayman emerged
and out of pure good will began to call
Jeremiah also. Several boys took up '
the cry till the town rang with "the
chorus of shouts for thatnamesake ef
the weeping prophet
Finally the woman collected' her
children clocks rabbit' etc.. In a knot
nenr the train and gave. oat a sten-
torian tones that she would "stay right
there till the cows or JersV came
home." " - J
'ra. bettlnga thecows la that
race" remarked' the drummer aad
then he settled for an hour's dose be- '
fore the train started '
After a-while we were all awakened
by n Jerk of tho train and the renewed
cries of tho moving woman who
seemed to think the cows were about
to win. '
Jeremiah hnd not yet appeared and
the engine hnd finished Its switching
work and backed up to get the train
for another start.
" Several of tUe children added to the
hubbub" With their frantic vntla tor .
father and Jus as tho bell .began ' i
ringing ior me uepanure oi no. 1 tne
missing hero came around the' corner '
of the depot scowling furiously at the .
uproarious fumlly t
. "Can't a feller gtt away long enough " ;
to have a smoko In peace?" he growled
referring to the two-for-a-nlckel .cigar r
protruding from his overgrown beard. t
He went Into tho depot again 'for the
tickets but the snorting llttlo'hog-bsck v f
begnn grunting off down the track " '
leaving tfie moving-woman the'lplcture
of wrath aud despair as she clung to
her clocks and rabbit groaning: '
"I knowed It! I knowed It I I
knowed held git left I"
A new disturbance nt the rear of the 5
train now attracted our attention. On hf
investigation we found Buster the dog
nnd'the hoe mixed up In a row with'
the brukemiin. Tho boy aid the dog ' .
had slipped onto the .rear of the train'
wlillu others of the fumlly were calling
Jerry.
"1 tell jou hub" declared the jirake-
man "you can't' bring that pup on this
crtr!" i
"Well lie's pu here ain't ihe?" re-
torted Buster- 'f.ciss?
'tWcll take him to the' baggage car
and express him through! tie can't

"1'nrf's got it I reckon." K
"Where Is he? Hunt him up ulckl" "'
The boy tried to leave the dbg in the
corner by the stove while he went to
show the brakeman the holder of the
ticket but the trick failed. The dog
followed and when assaultwj by the
brakeman started howling down the
aisle with the hoe catching In the seats
nnd hitting the paosengers.
Boy and brakeman tried td stop the
fugitive. They caught him n the door
Just as a passenger who hndjbeea out
on the platform started to enter and
hud dodged back In time to let the dog
out. The hoe caught in the door-
Just then the train lurched" Into a
stop at the water tank. Dog .boy
brakeman and passenger finally un
