The Fifth Son
ARTHUR WHMYSS, llft.Ii son of-the
lUvercnd Alfred Austin Wcrayss,
tnr nf St. Acne. Tilbury rood,
county of Kent. Kngland, had but re
cently crossed the ocean. 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.
The honest granger was paid a sum
Tatnoc? between fifty nnd one hundred
and, fiftv dollars for instructing one of
tnestrioiicc teiiows in tarmiug lor one
.'ear. and although having nn IOnclish-
matlivas known to be a pretty good in
vestment the farmers usunlly spoke of
them as thc.i would of the French weed
or the rust in the wheat. 8am Mother
well referred to his quite often as "that
blamed I'nglishman" and often said,
unjustly, that lie was losing money on
him every day.
Arthur the Motherwells could not

wed in the grain: he could milk; lie

lould uinli dlsbcs and churn, and he
md it all with a willingness, a cheer

vorably to nlmost any other farmer in
the neighborhood, but the lines hnd

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."
The Englishman looked perplexed.

Bull far behind. Peggy laughed and
chuckled. It was fun to beat Johnny
Bull aud Billy that way.
But all of a sudden Peggy's chuckles
stopped short. Something had whizzed
past like n skyrocket, it was some
thing queci1 something ghostly. Peggy
glanced duck. Johnny Bull ana Billy
were not in sight
"Ho I Ho! Slow pokes! Slow pokes!"
cried Billy's voice far ahead.
"Woof! Woof! I told you 1 could
beat you !" barked Johnny Bull. Peggy
nud Hopplty-Hop were much puzzled,
for they didn't think that skyrocket
thing could have been Johnny Bull and
Billy.
Hopplty-Hop raced on. and after a
while ho camo to Johnny Bull, who was
sitting by tho road waiting for him.
"I'll give you a big start nnd beat
you," boasted Johnny Bull. Hopplty
Hon raced on like tho wind, lint in n
minute Johnny Bull (lew past hlra as if
uic rabbit uau been standing still.
But this timu ns Johnnv Bull went
by, Peggy saw something stlckiug out
either sido of him, It was u pulr of
wlugs wings that turned him into u
dog nirplaue. With these wings Johnuy
Bull skimmed along, just touching the
ground now nnd then. No wonder he
could bent Hopplty-Hop.
"Ho! Ho! Wo fooled you!" laughed
Billy. "Ho who wins last wins best."
"Woof! Woof!" laughed Johnny Bull,
und poor Hopplty-Hoi) felt much uppet.
As for Peggy, she thought that Billy
was very shrewd Indeed, to think of
putting wings on Johnny Bull.
"You'll hnvo u lot of fun flying
around,1' sho mid to Billy.
"So will you," promptly rpplled
Billy, nud ho halted Johnny Bull beside
u bush. From behind tho bush Billy
pulled out iinothcr pnlr of nirplaue
wings. "Hero are wings for Hopplty
Hop," he said. "We will all go fly
Ing fur, far away and have wonderful
