Ho und COO other fifth sons of rectors nnd carls und dukes had crossed the ocean in the unit ship and had been scattered abroad ovfr.Manltoba and the northwest terri tories 10 vv .UHLrucLi-w in uklii-uum.ui pursuits by the honest granger, and in n'dentally to furnish nutriment for the ner.readv mosouito or wasn. who re garded all old country men ns their law ful meat.

Sn . ''""'h'cted hlra with the lan li to his bed in (ho lnff nf i.n ..nn. rj "" A rkkety ladder led up to the bed, which was upon a temporary floor laid about half wuy across the width of the granary. Bags of musty smelling wheat stood nt one end of this little room. Evidently Mr. Motherwell wished to discourage sleep-walking In his hireu help, for the iloor ended abruptly nnd a cnrolcss somnambulist would bo pre cipitated on the old fanning mill, har row teeth und other debris which lit tered the floor below. The youug Englishman icelcd un steadily going up the ladder. Ho could still feel tho chug-chug-chug of the ocean liner's engines, nnd had to hold tight td tho ladder's splintered ruugs tp preserve his. equilibrium. Mr. Motherwell raised the lantern with sudden lutercsl. ' "Sny," he said, more cheerfully than he hnd yet spoken, "you haven't been drinking, linvo you?" "Intoxicants, do you mean?" the Englishman asked, without turning around. , "No. I do not drink." ",1'ou didu't happen to bring any thing over with you, did you, for sea sickness on the boat?" Mr. Motherwell queried anxiously, holding tho lantern ubovo his head. "No, I did not," the young man said, laconically. "Turn out nt 5 tomorrow morning, then," his employer snapped in evident disappointment, nud be lowered the Ian tern so oulcklv that it went nut. The young man lay down upon his hard bed. Ills utter wcarinpss was a blCSSinc to him that lllht. for not oiren the racing mice, tho musty smells or mo nnraness oi ills straw bed coulu Keep mm trom slumber. In what seemed to him lint n fev minutes, he was nwnkeneil hv Imwl knocking on the door below, voices snouicu. a uog cnrKcu, cowueiis jingled ; no couiu near noors banging every where, n faint streak of sunlight lnv wan and pale on the mud-plastered walls. "IJy .Tovc." he said, yawning, "I know now wunt Kipling meant when he said 'the dawn comes" up like thun- ucr. A few weeks after Arthur's nrrivnl. Mrs. Motherwell called him from the barn, where he sat Industriously mend ing bags, to unhitch her horse from the buggy. She had just driven home from Mlllford. Nobody hnd taken the trouble to snow Artnur now it was done. "Any fool ought to know," Mr. Motherwell sid. Arthur come running from the barri with his bat In his band. He grasped the horse firhlly by the bridle and led him toward the barn. As they came near the wntcr trough the horse began to show signs of thirst. Arthur led him to tho trough, but the horse tossed his head and was unable to get It near the water on account of the check. Arthur watched him a few moments with gathering, perplexity. "I can't lift this water vessel," he so.d, looking nt the horse reproachfully. "It s too heavy, don't jou know. Hold! I hnvo it." ho cried with exultation beaming in bis face; nnd making a dash for the horse hc unfastened tho enmiwr. Itllt the exultation sin illnl (mm Ma face, for the horse still tossed his head in the Vain endeavor to reach the water. "My word!" he said, wrinkling his forehead, "I believe I shall have to lift the water-vessel jet, though it is hardly Ht tp lift, it s so wet aud nasty." Arthur spoke with a deliclously soft Kentish accent, guiltless of r'a and with n softening of tho h's that was irre sistible. A light broke over his face again. He want behind the buggy and lifted the hind wheels. While he was holding up the wheels and craning his neck nround tho back of the buggy to sec if his efforts were successful. Jim Russell came into the yard, riding his dun colored pony Chitliquy. Ho stood still In astonishment. Then .the meaning of it came to him nnd he rolled off Chlniquy's back, shaking with silent laughtei'. "Come, come, Aithur." he said ns soon ns he could speak. "Stop trying to fec how strong you ure. Dou't you see the horse wants a drink?" With a perfectly serious faeo Jim un fastened the cheek, whereupon the norse s neau was lowered at once, and he drank In long gulps the water that had so long mocked him with its near ness. "Oh. thank you, Mr. Russell." the Englishman cried delightfully. "Thanks awfully, it is monstrously clever of ou to know how to do everything. I wish I could go nnd live with you. I be lieve I could learn to farm if 1 weie with you." Jim looked at his eager face so cruelly bitten by mosquitoes. "I'll tell you. Arthur," he said smiling. "I haven't any need for a man to work, but I suppose I might hire you to keep the mosquitoes off the horses. They wouldn't look at Chiniquy, I am sure, if they could get a nip at you."
