QUHIH COUOL Copyright ISKa oy Irving Bscheller.J Vaster Simon's Inn. the Florins Source "Good Entertainment for Man and Beast" leant over the riverside by the ferry, a mile and a half above Ponteglot town. The fresh water of Cuckoo river met the salt ChanneltUle right under Its windows, toy the wooJon ladder where Master Simon chained his ferry-boat. Fourteen miles Inland, a brown trout stream singing down from the moors, plunged over a lodge of molt Into the cool depths of Cuckoo Yal'u-y. Thenceforward If ran toy beds of sun dew, water-mint and esphodel. under woods so ateeply converging that the traveler upon the ridges heard It as the trickle of water In a cavern. But Jimi above Master Simon's Inn the valK-y widened out Into arable and gray pax ture land, and the river, too. widened and grew deep enough to lloat up vcs scls of small tonnage at the sprlntr tides. In summer, from the bow-window of his coffee-room. Waster Simon could follow its course down thtvutth the meadows to the church tower of Pontegloa and the shipping consre gated there about the wharves, and watch In the middle distance the slls of. a targe or shallow trading-ketch moving among the haymakers. Hut from November to March, when the floods were out the Flowing Source sto nl above an Inland sea. with a liaystok or two for lesser Islets. Then the river's course could be told only by a line of stakes on which the wild fowl rested. The meadows were covered. Onlya fewclumps of reed rose above the Clapping water and shook in the north erly gales. And then, when no guests came for weeks together, and the salt spray crusted the panes so thickly that looking abroad became a weariness of the spirit. Master Simon would reach down his long gun from the chlmney plece and polish It, and having pullod on his wading boots and wrapped a large woolen comforter round his thrMt and another round his head, would summon his tap-boy, unmoor the fori y boatand go duck shooting. For in winter birds Innumerable haunt tli riverside here wild duck, snipe, teal and widgeon; curlews, field f.irts and plovers, both green and golden: rooks, starlings, little whlte-rumped sand pipers; herons from the upper woods and gulls from seaward. Master Simon bad fine sport in the short days, and the tnn mlpht take care of Itself, which It was perfectly well able to do. Its foundations rested on sunken piles of magnificent girth "as stout as my self." said Master Simon, modestly and on these it. stood so hish that even the great flood of fifty-nine had overlapped the kitchin threshold but once, at the top of a spring tide with northwesterly gale behind it; and then bad retreated within the hour.

But the site of the building had always be-n known as Flowing Source, and by tills name and no othar Master Blaise's Inn was called for over 200 years. Bv thH time its timber roof hid clothed Itself with moss upon the north side, and on the west the whole frame work Inclined over the river, s though the timbers of the old gailleon regretted their rjro-ner element and strained toward It te-.derly, quietly, pers's'-ent-ly. But careful patchlig and repair tn? had ke-pt the ibuiidlng to all a.p' poaranee as stout &s ever: and any doubts of Its stability were dispelled In a moment 'by a glinue at Iater Simon, the lj:r.Jlord.

Certainly a considerable number of Its Inhabitants found their way to the Flowing Source so.-,r.?r or later. Marketers crossed the ferry and .paused for a morning drink.

Painters came, too. and sketched the old Inn, and tome times stayed for a wek, having tasted the salmon. Pigeon' breeders dropped in and crooked long pipes In the kitchen' with Muster Simon, and slowly evolved bets and matches. And once or twice In the summer month a company of pilgrims would arrive queer literary men In velveteen coats, who examined all the rooms and furniture as though they meant to make a tld for the tun complete; who talked with outlandish tongues and ordered expensive dinners, and usually paid fevr them next morn ing, ratnvr to .Master Simon's fur:re. It appeared that there wua once. In the time of Master Simon's grandfather, a certain pot-boy at tha Flowing Source who ran off Into the. world and became a great poet; and thew pilgrimages were made In his honor. iMafftcr Simon found this story eotm-how very credtt W to hlmelf, and came hv time to take almv$t as much pride in it os In his pigeons and liMled salmon. Regu larly after dlni:xr on the occasion he would exhibit an old pewter pint-pot with verse,- scratched upon It us ie a.-serted by ithe poet's own ha.r.d. And the pilgrims 'feigned credulity ac cording as they valued Master Simon's opinion of their Intelligence. But must wrleomo of all were the merchant captains from Ponteglos, among whom custom had made It a point of honor to report themslvps at the Flowing Source within twonty-four hours after dropping anchor by Ponte gloa Quay. When or why or hv the custom arose Jiobody was old enough to remember, but a master mariner would as soon have thouivht of sailing with out log or lead-line as of putting in and out of Ponteglo without tasting Mas ter Simon's ale "c.illlnpr for orders," as they put It. .Master Simon had never climbed a sea-going ship except to shake hands with a friend and wish good voyage and return to shore with the pilot. But the teak walls of his parlor were lined with charts of such very remote part of the world, and his shelves with such a quantity of for eign china and marine curiosities, and he t-poko. so familiarly of OallnDacos. Batavla, Cane Verde, the Horn, thf Straits of Magellan and so forth, nnd would bring his telescope so knowingly to bear on the gilt weather-coek over Ponteglos church tower, that until you knew the truth you would have sworn half his life had been spent on the quar terdeck. And while the sea captains serious men, attired In blue cloth, wear ing rings In thelr ears sat and smoked canaster and ether other queer tobac cos In painted china pipes, and talked of countries whose very names cq'i- jured up visions of parrots, and carved idols, and sharks, and brown natives In flashing canoes, Master Simon would put a shrewd question or two and wag his head over the answers as a man who hears Just what he expected. And sometimes toward the close of the sit ting, If he knew his company very well, he would reward them with his favorite and only song, "Tlie Golden Vanltee:" A ship I have got In the North Coiinitme. And I had her christened the Gold 'n Vanltee: O, I fear she'll be taken by a Spanish Gal-a-lee .As she falls by the lowland low." in come hazy way he had persuaded himself that the Spanish galleon of the ballad was nh? very ship whose timbers overarched him and the-audience; and for t'hs momemt, being himself Inverted (so to speak) by the potency of his own singing, he bljw out his client and I itpadilled' out ihla thick calves and screwed up his eyes, quite as If his roof- tree ware right-side up once more In blue water, end he on deck beside the weather-rail. But the mood began to pass as scon as he locked the front door behind his guests, nnd Ann the cook poured him onS his Iot cup of mulled ale and withdrew with tihe sauce pan. And amother noon would find htmtj seated under hla house-front, his cye3 half-closed, his attention divided be tween tthi whisper of the tide and the murmur In the plgeon-cots overhead, h'ja body at ease nrnl his soul content. His was a happy life or had been, but for two crumpl'd rose leave. To be gin with, thre were those confounded pot-boys. It puzzled Master Simon al most as much as It annoyed him; he paid fair wages and parsed for n good employe ; but he could not keep a pot boy for twelve months. As a matter of fact, I know the river to have been at the bottom of the mtacthlcf the river, and perhaps the talk of the ship cap tains. It mP?hf Patlsfy Master Slmmn to sit and watch the culmon passing up In autumn toward their spawning beds, and rubbing, as they went, the ir scale agalnwt his landing-stage to cWr them of the sea-lice; to watch them and their young passing seaward Jn the spring; to wateh and wait and spread bis nets in the due season. But for the youngs ters this running water was a con stant lurethe song of It and the dim ple on it. It coaxed them, as It coaxed the old galfcon, to lm over and listen. And the moment that listening becamo Intolerable, thf-y were' off. Only one of them the port before mentioned had ever expressed any desire to return and revisit "The shining levels and th daisied wave Emerging, from his covert of green woods, Old heronries, and vales mysterious, . , Lost between uplands where the harvest ers Pause In the Swathe, shading their eyes, to watch Home little trader stealing up from sea: Themselves In sunset, sha & twilight ghost Parting the twllt woods. Ah, loving Ood, Grant In the end this world may slip awny With whisper of that water by the bows Of such a bark, bearing me home thy stars - Breaking the gloom like kingfishers, thy heights Wearing the dear rough faces of my kin!" I doubt If ihs meant It, any more than Virgil meant his "flumltva. emem sll vns'iue ingkirlus." At any rate tine pub Ha knew wh'Wt was due to Itself, and, when the time came, gave the man a handsome funerall In Wefftmlitmter Ab bey. Among ihla pall-berarem walked the prime minister, the eommamder-ln-ohilef, the president, of the Itoyo.1 Acad rimy of Arts, and (as representing rural life) the tritnlnter of agriculture. To Be Continued. DOWN ON PICTURES. From the Manufacturer. The total Impression mads upon ed ucated readers who examine the jour nals which are thickly strewn with base engravings Is that the presumed -crav ing of the public for that kind of thing Is Indicative of a general movement of the race toward a kind of second child hood. How any 'grown person, with his mental faculties In a normal condi tion of good orde, can have any appe tite which will be satisfied by the pic tures day after day presented In pro fusion in the newspapers, Is beyond reach of comprehension.' . A mere In fantile fondness for rude drawings may,' however, be quits Innocent; but now ws And that some of the papers, not satisfied with the production of Incredible representations of passing events' and libelous distortion of the countenances of prominent men, are beginning to offer, pictures of scenes from the criminal courts. - Thus, every morning, Into multitudes of households where the effort Is to have purity, these journals thrust pictorial reproductions of scenes and persona which for a young person even to know about Is pollution. The process, therefore, Is a process of debauchery which deserves the Indignant repudiation of all re spectable people. Not only is tha Illus tration of crime and of criminals not to be desired, but there is good reason for declaring that the journals would much more effectively serve the public Interest If they would largely diminish the amount of space that they devote to the verbal description of crime. --- WHAT IT LACKED. At a I-omlore dinner recently given by the New Vagabond to the women au thors of England, Frankfort Moore told some Interesting stories bearlug upon literature. Here to one of tlu-m: "'Some short time ngo an autihor, having just completed a book, brought it into the ottlee of his publisher, uid rtated Mint he- thought It wa4 the best thing ho had ever written. 'We'll be delighted to have It,' said the publisher. 'Is It up to date?" 'I'p to date?" .ild the nu 1ior, 'I vhouUI think it Is up to date; It contains two problems and a wife who confess all on th day of her m'.irrlnse.' The publishers eye-s glist ened, but as he turned over the pages of the tyiwwvrlpt his faoe lengthened, 'dvcat h.-'ivor.j"!' he said, 'It's written In Kngllsh; there's not a Sen Mi phrase ir It! Ami you-said It was up to date.' 'What do you mean?' asked the nuthor. 'What do I nieitin?" cried the puOilisher. 'My dear fir, arc you re-lly -rlous In exoectlivf me to publish a nowl that'r not written In a Smutch dlalivt? Ta;e It nwny take It away.' Well, tho'uu thor took It away, and was'somrwlvit disheartened, until he mid.lenl;' recol lected that he had an aunt y'ho had llve-J in Gotland an.J had m:if"tored the UniKuage so that she could f,o through Kdiivliurgh wiUiout the aid. of a:y Inter preter, and could almost understand a Ola.-gow man when ha' spoke slowly, lie hurried to hfr sl'.M, and, with her assistance, turned nil the the 'froms' Into 'fries, all ' he 'longs' Ir.to '.an,-s,' all the Vvways'-lnto 'awas,' the 'friends' Into 'freer.'-.' and the 'files' Into 'Ilees.' With, rhe aid ef a fe w 'hott nions,' 'b.n nles,' an-. a judicious flavor of the biwe pot, .flier 'book wm transformed, the pubJisher acvepted It with enthusiasm, apd I look for lts aiiwaranco every day." SO SAY WE ALL. We oiidht, says the New York Sun. to raise our own violinists, our actors nnd actresses, our vocal musicians, und mem bers of brass bands. We must have plenty of men and women fit for such kinds of business among our population of seventy millions. Tho Americun people hnve al most entirely neglected these pioiltable branches of industry. We do not believe It would be necesraty for us to Import any talent from abroad If wo would give proper encouragement to the growth of tho home nrtlcle.

There's a red-letter page that is brighter for its age; And the fingermarks of Time are never dimming; It has very much to say of a hot summer day. When we fellers ran away to go a-swlm- mlng. creeping through lengthy grass while dancing shadows puss, Threading deep haunted woods where the squirrel stows his goods. And birds nested high teach their little ones to fly. Where the grasp-cluster shines In a wll rlerncss of vines, Whereare mossy pillows green not a slum borer hath seen. And the red flowers 'grow In a blossom drift of snow; It may be twice as gay that we felt a bit astray, When we fellers ran away to go a-swlm- ming.

Though tho flower-Jewels shine with a ra. dlunce divine, And the dnlsy-blossoms creep In tho mead. ows half asleep, And the clouds are like a hlh floating cbsiio in the sky.
