Island Billy came to a halt. He had reached the point near midnight, and hesitated to cross over and disturb the party at that hour. At last, however, he decided to cross quietly and lie down near her hut until morning. Tho crossing was most difficult, for he was very weak; but at last he came to tho opposite shore and drew himself up, to lie panting for a few minutes on the sloping bank. Then he crawled on again up to the to)), and. staggering to his feet, mado his way cautiously toward the two huts. Alt was quiet. He assumed that the party was asleep, and so he lay down near tho rude shelter he had constructed for Bar bara Harding. It was broad daylight when ho awoke tho sun was fully three hours high, and yet no ono was stirring For the first time misgivings commenced to assail Billy's mind. Could It bo pos sible? Ho crossed over to his own hut and entered It was deserted. Then he ran to Barbara's It, too, was unoccupied. Thoy had gono! Presently It occurred to him that tho party might have returned to the const to get tho marines, and that even now they wcro searching for him. Ho hnstencd to return to tho mainland, and once more ho took up his wcarlsomo Journey. That night he reached the coasL Early the next morning ho commenced his search for the man-o'-war. By walking entirely around tho Island ho Bhould And her, ho folt sure. Shortly nftcr noon ho seated a high prom ontory which Jutted out Into the sea. From Its summit ho had an unobstructed view of tho brond Pacific. His heart leaped to his throat, for there but a short distance out were a great bat tloshlp and a trim, white yacht the Alaska and tho Lotus! They were steaming slowly out to sea. Ho was Just In tlmel Filled with hap piness, tho mucker ran to the point of tho promontory, and, stripping off his shlrL waved It high above his head the while he shouted at the top of his lungs. But tho vessels kept on their course, giv ing no answering signal. For half an hour the man continued his futllo efforts to attract the attontlon of some ono on board either craft, but to his dis may he saw them grow smaller and smaller, until In a fow hours thoy passed over the rim of tho world, disappearing from his viow forever. Weak, wounded and despairing, Billy sank to tho ground, burying hln fnco In his arms, and thero tho moon found him when she rose. Ho was still thoro when she pnsscd from tho western sky. For three months Billy Byrne lived his lonely Ufa upon tha wild Island. Tho trap ping and fishing wcro good, and thoro was a plentiful supply of water. He regained his lost strength, recovering entirely from his wounds. Tho natives did not molest him, for he had. stumbled upon a section of tho shoro which they considered taboo, and to which nono of them would come undor any cir cumstances. Ono morning, at the beginning of his fourth month of solitude, tho mucker saw a smudgo of smoke upon the horizon. Slow ly It Increased In volume, and tho spock be neath It resolved Itself Into the hull of a steamship. Closer and closer to tho Island It camo. Billy gathered together a quantity of dry brush and lighted a signal flro on tho lofty point from which ha had soen tho Alaska and the Lotus disappear. As it com menced to blaze freely ho threw fresh, green boughs upon It until a vertical col umn of smoke arose high above the Inland. in breathless suspense Billy watched tho movements of the steamship. At first It seemed that sho would pass without taking notlco of his signal, but at last ho saw that she was changing her course and moving directly toward the island. Close in she camo, for the sea was calm and tho wator deep ; and when Billy was sure that thoso on board saw him and his frantto waving, he hurried, stumbling und falling, down tho steep faco of the cliff to the tiny beach at Us foot. Already a boat had been lowered and was putting In for land. Billy waded out to the end of the short, shelving beach and waited. The sight that met tho eyes of tho res cuers was one that tilled them with awe. They saw before them a huge giant of a white man, half naked except for a few tattored rags, who wore the longsword of an ancient Samurai at his side, a modern revolver at his hip, and bore In his brawny hand the heavy war spear of a head-hunter. Long, black hair, nnd a huge beard covered the man's head and face ; but clear gray eyes shone from out of the tangle, and a broad grin welcomed them. "Oh, you white men !" shouted the mucker. "You certainly do look good to me " Six months later a smooth-fared giant In lll-flttlng sea togs strolled up Sixth ave nue, New York. It was Billy Byrne broke but happy; Grand avcnuo was less than a thousand miles away I - 7Sr FARMER SMITHS (fQ)l RAINBOW CLUB l ' ENTERTAINING THOUGHTS Dear Children You may ponder over these two words, "Entertaining Thoughts," and accept a meaning for yourself. Your Editor wishes to convey this meaning: A person says something to you which you think is a good idea you accept it you ENTERTAIN the thought. Be careful during the long idle vacation days not to ENTERTAIN dis agreeable thoughts. Imagine there is a door to your mind and SHUT IT when disturbing thoughts want to come in. Never mind trying to find out where the thoughts come from, Your in telligence will TELL you which thoughts are best. The others should be given a polite farewell. Be sure that the suggestions of others meet your own approval, for nothing is so disappointing as to follow some one's advice against your own better judgment. Let this be a THOUGHTFUL summer.

BILLY BUMPUS AND THE FLYPAPER By Farmer Smith Promptly at 7 o'clock the evening after Billy Bumpus had called a meeting a num ber of prominent Goats came to his house prepared for action. "We don't quite understand how you wish us to spread the flypaper around town," began Jeremiah Goat. "Just put the flypaper on the out skirts of GoatYille. and when the enemy comes they will get stuck to It." "What are we supposed to do with the enemy when we get them?" ventured Teddy Goat. "We are supposed we do actually con quer them." said Billy proudly. "But the enemy will be all stuck up with V THE P. R. T.

Send all stories; etc., to Farmer Smith, Evening Ledger, Phila, delphia. 'iauuomw "in "Geel" he murmured, "but It's good to be home again'" There were places In New York where Billy would find acquaintances. One In particular ho recalled a little third-floor gymnasium not far distant from the Bali tery. Thither he turned his stepi now As he entered tho stuffy room In which two big fellows, stripped to thoV-alst, wero sparring, a stout, low-browed man sitting In a back tilted chair against one wall looked up Inquiringly. Billy crossed over to him with out stretched hand. "Howdy, professor?" he snld. "Voh got me kid," replied Professor Cassldy, taking the proffered hand. "I was up here with Larry Hllmore nnd the Goose Island Kid a year or so ngo my name's Byrne," explained Billy. "Sure." said the professor; "I gotcha now. You're dc guy dat Larry was a tellln' me about. He said you'd bo a great heavy If you'd leave dc booze alone." Hilly smiled and nodded. "You don't look much llko a booze tighter now," remarked Cnssldy. "And t nln't," said the mucker. "I've been on tho wagon for most a year, and I'm never comln' down." "That's right, kid," said tha professor; "but wots do good word? Wot you doln' In little ol' Noo York?" "Lookln' for a Job," said Billy. "Strip!" commanded Professor Cnssldy. "I'm lookln' for sparrin' partners for a gink dat's goln' to clean up dc big smoke If he'll ever come back an scrap." "You're on," said Billy, commencing to dUcnt himself of his clothing stripped to tho waist he displayed as wondrous a set of muscles as even l'rofcs sor Cassldy had over seen. Tho man wnxed enthusiastic over him. "You suro ought to hao some wallop up jour alcove." he said admiringly. Ho then Introduced Billy to tho Harlem Hurri cane and Battling Dago Pete "Pete's do guy I was tellln' you about." explained Professor Cassldy. "He's got such a wallop dat I can't keep no sparrin' part ners for him. De Hurrlcano hero's tho only bloke wit' nerve to stay wit' him he's a Mend for punishment, Hurrlcano Is; he Jest natcherly eats It. "If you'ro broke I'll give you your keep as long as you stay wit' Pete an' don't get cold feet, an' I'll fix up a mill for you now an' don bo's you kin pull down a little coin fer yourself. Are you game?" "You know it," said Billy. "At! to do good, den," said tho professor gaily. "Now, you put on de mitts an' spell Battling Dago Peto for a couple o' rounds." Billy slipped his lingo hands Into tho tlght-flttlng gloves. "It's been a year sfnee I had these on," ho auld, "an' I may be a llttlo slow an' Btalo at first; but after I got warmed up I'll do better." Cassldy winked at Hurricane. "Ho won't never get warmed up," Hurrl can confided. "Pcto'll knock his block oft In about two minutes," and the men set tled hack to watch the fun with ill-concealed amusement written upon their faces. "What happened within tho noxt fow min utes In the stuffy llttlo room of Professor Cassldy's third-floor "gymnasium" marks an epoch In the professor's life He still talks of it, nnd doubtless will until tho Great Referee countB him out In the last round. Tho two men sparred for a momept, gaging ono nnothcr. Thon Battling Dago Peto swung a vicious left that landed equaro on Billy's face. It was a blow that might havo felled an ox; but Billy only shook his head It scarcely seemed to Jar him. Peto had half lowered his hands as lie recovered from tho blow, so suro ho was that it would finish his now sparring partner; nnd now. before ho could regain his guard, tho mucker tore into him like a whirlwind. That slnglo blow to tho faco seemed to havo brought back to Billy Byrne all that ho had ever known of the manly art of self defense. Battling Dago Peto landed a few more beforo the tight was over, but as any old fighter will toll you, thoro is nothing more dlRcouraglng than to discover that your most effective blows do not feczo your opponont. Only the knowledge of what a dofeat at the hands of a sparring partner would mean to his future kept Dago Pete plugging away at tho hopeless task of at tempting to knock out this mountain of bone and muscle. For a few minutes Billy Byrno played with his man, hitting him when and where he would. He fought, crouching, much as Jeffries used to fight, and In his size and strength waa that which reminded Cassldy of tho fallen idol who In his heart of hearts ho still worshiped. And then, llko a panther, the mucker sprang In with a vicious left hook to tho jaw, followed, with lightning rapidity, by a right uppercut to the chin that lifted Bat tling Dago Peto a foot from the floor to drop him, unconscious, against the bottom of tho further wall. It was a clean knockout; and when Cas sldy and Hurricane got through ministering to the fallen man, and Indications of return ing consciousness wero apparent, the pro fessor turned to Billy. "Got any more 'hopes' lying around loose?" asked the mucker with a grin. "I guess the big dlnge Is safe for a while yet." "Not If you'll keep on stayln away from flypaper; they will be no good to us," said Jeremiah. "Yes, but they cannot attack us," an swered Billy. "You better, stay here and not go along. You might you might get tangled In the flypaper. You remember the bees," said Teddy. "Yes, I remember the bees," answered Billy, sadly. "Give us the flypaper and let us be go ing." Jeremiah got up to go. Billy Bumpus handed Jeremiah and Teddy the flypaper, and bade them farewell with "Good-by, my brave lads. You will go down la history for this." "We hope so," said Teddy, aa he poked Jeremiah In the ribs. "A. good day's work." thought Billy to himself. Pretty soon Billy beard a dreadful clat ter outside of the house. Rushing to the door he saw a great pile of paper coming toward the house. "Open that door."' commanded the pile of paper. Billy recognised his wife's voice. In walked th pile of paper and from be neath It thundered & voice. "Billy Bumpus. this looks like some of your doings. What have you to say for yourself?" "Nothing." replied Billy, as he Iwgan takljs the flypaper off MUaua GoaL ft, .- - . de booze, kid," said Professor Cassldy, "an' lemmo handle you." "t gotcha, Steve," said Billy. "Go to It J but first stake me to a feed. The front side of my Btomoch'a wrapped around my backbone." CltAPTlIK XIX. An Invitation. FOR three months Billy met hasbeens nnd third and fourth rate fighters from New York and Its environs. He thrashed them all usually by the knock-out route. Finally local sports commenced talking about him a bit, and ho was matched with second-raters from other cities. Theso men ho cleaned up as handily as ho had the others, so that It was apparent to ftght-fandom that the big, quiet "un known" was n comer. Pretty soon Profes sor Cassldy received an offer from another trainer-manager to match Billy against a teal "hope," who stood In the forefront ot hopedom. This other manager stated that he thought the mill would provo excellent prac tice for his man, who was having dlfllculty In finding opponents. Professor Cassldy thought so, too. nnd grinned for two hours straight after reading the challenge. Tho details of tha fight were quickly ar ranged. In accordance with tho State reg ulations It was to bo a ten-round, no de cision bout even the weight of the gloves was prescribed by law, Tho name of the white hope against whom Billy was to go was sufllclent to draw a fair house, nnd there were some thero who had seen Billy In other fights and looked for a good mill. When the "coming cham pion." bo Billy's opponent was Introduced, (stepped Into tho ring, ho received a hearty round of applause ; wlicras there was but a scattered ripple of handclapplng to greet tho mucker. It was tho first tlmo Billy had over stepped Into a ring with a flrst-rato fighter, and as ho saw tho hugo muscles of his anagonlst and recalled the stories ho had THE PRIVATE WAR A talo of intrijjuo and adventure by LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE Author of "The Ernts Bowl" Begins in TOMORROW'S Euemng tg$$$ ifoiiger heard of his prowess and sclenco, Billy for the first tlmo In his Ufo felt a tremor of nervousness. His eyes wandered acros-i tho ropes to the sea of faces turned up toward him, and all of a sudden Billy Byrno went Into a blue funk. Professor Cassldy, shrewd and ex perienced, saw It as Boon as Billy realized It ho saw the fading of his high hopes he saw his castles In Spain tumbling In ruins nbout his ears he saw his hugo giant lying prone within that squared circlo as tho hand of the referee rose and fell In cadenco to tho ticking seconds that would count his man ouL "Hore," he whispered, "take a swig o' this," and ho pressed a bottle toward Billy's lips. Billy shook his head. The stuff had kept htm down all his life ; he had Bworn never to touch another drop of it, and ho never would, whether he lost this and every other light he over roughL He had sworn to leave It alone for her sake. For her sake! And then tho gong called him to the conter of tho ring. Billy know that ho waB afraid he thought that ho was afraid of the big trained fighter who faced him ; but Cassldy knew that It was a plain caso of stage fright that had gripped his man. Ho knew, too, that it would be enough to defeat Billy's every chance for victory; and after the big "whlto hope" had felled Billy twice in the first minute of the first round, Cassldy knew that it was all over but tho shouting. The fans, many of them, wero laughing and yelling derogatory remarks at Billy. "Stan' up an' fighL yeh big stiff!" nnd "Back to do farm fer youse!" Then, high above tho others, a shrill volco cried; "Coward! Coward!" Tho word penetrated Billy's hopeless, muddled brain. Coward! Sho had called him that once, and then Bhe had changed her mind. Therlero had thought him a coward, yet as ho died he had said that he was the bravest man ho had ever known. Billy recalled the yelling Samurai, with their keen Hwords nnd terrible spears. He saw the little room In the "palace" of Oda Yorlmoto, and again ho faced the brown devils that had hacked and hewed nnd stabbed at him that day as he fought to save the woman he loved. Coward ! A Day at a Boy Scout Camp lly THOMAS MOnOAN WILLIAMS. Jn. (Continued from Yesterday.) Ten o'clock Is the hour of Inspection and after that the boys have a free time to themselves. Kleven o'clock is swimming hour. After swimming the boys do what they wish un til 1 o'clock, which Is lunch time. Again the tin waffle horn blows, again there Is a rattling of dishes as they fall In for lunch. It consists chiefly of cocoa, beans and peaches for dessert. Every day Jl loaves of bread am 16 quarts of milk are de voured by 30 boys. After the dishes are washed we make plans for the afternoon. Generally we take a long hike. If we don't go on hikes in the afternoon wo spend it in other ways, such as canoeing and passing tests, baseball, target-shooting and picking cherries. If we are home at 4 o'clock, we have medical Inspection and then we are allowed to take a dip. After supper Is stored away and dishes washed we all get busy for the camp-fire by getting wood. In the mean time the mail comes In and again there Is much rejoicing. At about 7:30 the fire Is started. Joke telling, trick-playing, song-slnglng and mos-quito-bltlng are the main events of the eve ning. The time goes fast this way, but at 9:30 most of the boys are played out and turn in and at 10 o'clock the camp that waa so noisy is silent, but not forever for to morrow it will be ful of life again.

Then the shouts and curses Atid taunts of the crowd smote upon his cars, and he knew. It was the crowd 1 Again tho heavy fist of the "earning, champion" brought Billy to the mat, and then, before further damage could be done him, tho gong saved him. It was a surprised and chastened mucker that walked with bent head lo his corner after the first round. The white hope waa grinning and confident, and so he returned to the center of the ring for tho second round. During the short Interval Billy had thrashod the whole thing ouL The crowd had got on his nerves. He was trying 'to fight the whole crowd Instead of Just one man he would do better In this round. But the first thing that happened after' he faced his opponent sent the fans Into delirious ecstasies of shouting and hooting. Billy swung his right for his foe's Jaw a terrible blow that would have ended the fight had It landed; but the man side' stepped It, and Billy's momentum carried him sprawling upon his face. When he regained his feet the white hop was waiting for him, and Billy went down again to tie there, quite still, while the hand of the referee marked tho seconds. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Billy opened his eyes. Seven, Billy sat up, night. The meaning of that monotonous count finally percolated to the mucker's numbed ' perceptive faculties. He was being counted out! Nino! I.ll(o a flash, he was on his feet. He had forgotten ttie crowd. Rage cool, calculat ing rage possessed him not the feverish, hysterical variety that takes 1U victim' brains away. They had been counting out the man whom Barbara Harding had once loved the man sho had thought the bravest In tho world they were making a monkey and & coward of him I Tho white hope waa watting for hlra. Billy was scarcely off his knees before the man rushed at him wickedly, a. smile playing about his lips. It was to bo the last of that smile, how ever. Billy met the rush with his old, familiar crouch, and stopped his man with a straight to tho body. Cassldy saw it nnd almost smiled. He didn't think that Billy could come back but at least ho was fighting for a minute in his old form. The surprised hope rushed In to punish his presuming foo. Tho crowd was silent Billy ducked beneath a vicious left swing nnd put a right to the sldo of the hope's head that sent the man to his knees. Then camo tho gong. In the third round Billy fought carefully. He had made up his mind that he would show this bunch of pikers that ho knew how to box, bo that none might say that he had won with a lucky punch. For Billy, meant to win. The round was ono which might fill with delight tho soul of the fan who knows tha finer points of the game. And when It waa -over, while llttlo damage had been done on either sldo, it left no shadow of a doubt In tho minds of those who knew that the' unknown fighter was the more skilful boxer. Then came the fourth round. Of course, there was no question In the' minds of the majority of the spectators as . to who would win the fighL The stranger had merely shown one of those BUddon and ephemeral bursts of form that are occa sionally witnessed In every branch of sport; but he couldn't last against such a man aa tho white hopo ; they looked for a knockout . any minute now. Nor did they look In vain. Billy was quite satisfied with the work ho had dono In the preceding round. Now he would show them another style of fight ing! And he did. From the tnp of tho geng he rushed his opponent about the ring at will. He hit him when and where he plcnsed. The man was absolutely helpless beforo him. With left and right hooks Billy rocked tho "coming champion's" head from side to I side. He landed upon tho swelling optica ' of his victim as he chose. Thrice ho rushed him to the ropes, and once the man fell through them Into the ' laps cf the hooting spectators only now they were not hooting Billy. Until the gong Billy played with his man as a cat might play with a mouse ; yet not once had he landed a knockout blow. "Why didn't you finish him?" cried Pro fcBsor Cassldy as Billy returned to his corner after the round. "You had 'in ' goln', man w'y in blazes didn't yeh finish him?" "I didn't want to," said Billy. "Not la that round. I'm reserving the .finish for the fifth round, and if you want to win some money you can take the hunch." "Do you mean It?" asked Cassldy Incredu lously. "Sure," said Billy. "You might make more by laying that I'd make him take the count In the first minute of the round; you can place a hundred of mine on that, If you will, please." Cassldy took the hunch, and a moment later, as the two men faced one another, he regretted his act; for to his surprise the white hope came up for the fifth round smiling and confident once more. "Some one's been handin' him an earful," grumbled Cassldy, "an" It might be all he . needed to take 'lm through the first minute of the round, and maybe the whole round f. I've seen that did lots o' times." As the two men met, the white hope waa the aggressor. He rushed In to close quar ters, aiming a stinging blow at Billy's face, and then, to Cassldy's cnagrin and the crowd's wonder, the mucker lowered hi ' guard and took the wallop full on the Jaw, (CONTINUED TOMORROW.)
