CROCKETT. ed9 f'ItA.PTEII XI,--(Cont'd.) Lilies bad gone to a white house by the brike where lived one Jane Little, an old maid who had never been seen teceiit with two ringlets at either side; of her thin white cheeks, and whop had never been known to wear any -I thing but e black i"bettermous" dressa such as the other' women -folk of the;. village reserved for ,Sundays, On this' aeet-unt Jane Little was thought to be setting up for a lady, and the parish; gossips counted on' their fingers howl often the blaelt dress had been turned. Kit walked quickly up the village street looking for his mother. How eves, he did not at once find her. But at the bridge -end, where the great beech tree stoops with a peasant sound of rustling leaves over the still water, close to the raised earthen moend whereon Andrew Hutcheon, the blaclnintth, welded on hi3 cart -wheels, Kit saw a crowd of boys shouting in that irregular and cruelly playful way, which is the wont of boys all the world over wham they are tormenting some- thing that cannot escape them -yet affords them 'sport by flying out in impotentanger at their insults. The crowd of boys surrounded a man who half reclined and half stood in the angle of the bridge wall. He was a tail man, with closely cropped bairj and a certain native dignity which he strove' hard to maintain even when; being baited by village boys. He was; not drunk, only stupid and rnazed with, perhaps, some suspicion of the; staple of the village inn, acted upon; in his empty stomach by the heat of the mid-day sun. He balanced himself judicially, and; made futile rushes with his stick at; the closing and scattering crowd of his' tormentors, ending, tragically enough; however, by stumbling and falling,. headlong upon the hard stones of the causeway. Then Pete Tarrson, the "ill dell" of the junior classes, jumped. upon him and proceeded to execute the: simple double -shuffle, which represent -I ed dancing to the boys of Duncanson's I school. But in the very midst, when the; plaudits of his companions were rising; in pleasing music to hie ear, Pete) Tamson received a blow on the cheek? from a band as hard as a mason's; mallet, a blow which knocked him oil; the body of the tramp, and sent him! staggering half-aedozen yards away in! dazed astonishment. "A fecht! A fecht! The New Boy! and Pete Tamson! Make a ring!" shouted the. knowing. So in a trice a ring Was made and the combatants were stripped for the fray. The man with the hollow face and closely -crop- per hair, the original cause of the dis- agreement, was instantly forgotten. He struggled indeed to his feet, and balanced himself In the corner of the wall where' he had stood at first. He pointed unsteadily to the combatants and delivered himself of moral re- marks upon the future career of those who would fight with their fellow- creatures. "Boys," he said, severely, "shake hands and he friendly. I am willing to be friendly. Boys will be boys, but it is a sin to fight. I have always in- culcated this principle, though, alas!

I The hours of drudgery thus saved give no hint of the improvement in health the saving of such labor would mean. And further, there is the add- ed attractiveness and the sanitary conditions; which paint and varnish bring, to be taken into account.

"How ean,he hit ye if ye dance aboot like that?" - Kit was so astonished at the re- quest that he did stand still, and Pete's fist met him in the eye with a sudden sharp and most surprising pain.

The tramp leaned heava tramp across the green quadrangle of the farmyard. j So not only Pete Tarrson, but the whole of Whinnyliggate School was astonished by the fury of Kit's as- sault. Like a wild cat he seemed to spring bodily into the air, and to !strike his opponent with his bead, his hands, ,and his feet all at once.

And if t'i're had been none to loosen that grip it might 1 have fared very ill indeed with Pete. But with one united yell the school pulled Kit off -kicking, biting, and 'scratching at every one who came within his reach. They punched him for u "tearing• teegur." They cuffed him for a "young ravage." They pulled him hither and thithe.r, while fete lay on the ground and howkd that he was killed. Bei, Kit was• wholly unconscious of the h:ows that hailed upon flim, His whole :mut was taken up with the proh:em of how to get at Pete again. But so far as he was concerned Pete desired no more getting at. As soon as he saw that the instinct of sport in the' minds of his companions would quickly overmaster any considerations of fair play, and that Kit was within measurable distance of breaking loose, he rose from the ground„and with his cap in his hand he raced for home, boo -booing lustily all the way the title of how he had been "Trilled dead” by the young savage tram the Black Dornal. A band was laid on Kit's head -an unsteady hand--a.hand with long lithe fingers, a .gentleman's hand spite of the signs of recent manual labor-. It was the drunken tramp who had straightened himeclf, and now stood lielnard's for sprain* and Bruises, saving inventions. A great many peo- ple think of paint and varnish solely in terms of beauty. ' They consider them luxuries, not neeesaltios, While paint and varnish are beautifier's of great impartanee, they save more than they cost in preventing repairs and in safe-guerding the health, They do even more.

A mop slides quickly and eabily over a painted or varnished floor, leaving a clean sur- face behind it, whereas, a rough floor requires the hardest kind of scrub- bing and never shows the effort ex- pended on it. Shabby spots, the outcome of time and wear, creep unnoticed into, the house. Their presence means extra labor. They make cleaning harder, A housewife feels irritation when after cleaning she sees the scratched spots on the baseboard, the worn spots in. the doorway, or the mark on the window -sill where potted plants have stood. • Such things reflect on her zeal and ability as a housekeeper. The euro for these marring spots may be found in a paint can. Furthermore, in well painted surroundings there is not the tendency to allow cast-offs and rubbish to collect.
