URAFTOX,'' ETC. j [Copyrighted, Jt9», by D. Lothrop it Co., ami Publifhed by Sptciil Arrangement.] CHAPTEB X3L It was a lovely Saturday afternoon, and, of course, a half-holiday for Dis port youth. Tad had been veiy busy all the forenoon, as Mr. and Mrs. Mason, of Boston, had arrived the night befo; -, and taken the spare room. Tiiey were very wealthy peo ple, who had boarded with Miss Smith for three successive summera, find ing ia the quiet of this secluded rillage an enjoyment that no crowded watering-place could give th :tory reply. "Here's one, Joo," said Mr. Mason, with, 1 regret to say, a somewhat hu morous twinkle in his eye. "Now, John!" expostulated his wife, as Joe, taking it, r>-c to his feet and strolled off, "wlia' made you? you kn'rw that boy is always up to some kind of mischief." But Mr. Ma-on, who had stretched himself at ease on the given sward, with his straw hat over his face, seemed suddenly to have fallen into a deep leep, riot iiiipunctuated by an occa-ioii.il nore; -o Mr-. Ma-on, lean ing back against a tree-trunk, fanned herself languidly, and chatted with Polly, who was making a lily-wreath for her shade-hat, while Bounce lay lay looking on with lazy interest. Tad, hug/ing his knee- , which were drawn nearly up to his chin, sat a little dis tance off, thinking how singular it was that, in a big world, lie should again have met the owner of the fur cloak, anfl wondering what she would say if she knew the part she had played in helping him along on his way to Bix port. ll \vii-> one of those delightful sum mer afternoon- when one feels disin clined to do any thing but dream away the idle hotu>. The clear, unruffled surface (if l'ixport pond reflected the drifting w' te clouds overhead, and the tall, whisj ing pines which bent over id margin, as faithfully as some great, mirror. Far ofl", at the other end, a solitary loon -ent out his quivering cry from time to time, while now and then the shrill nol»- of the locust cut through th" warmth and stillin --of the air with monotonous persistency. The murine of Mr. Forrest', voice, as that gentle man, unmindful of Joe's warning, re clined gracefully at Miss Baker's feet, reached Tad's ears. "Y'cs, Mi- 1 Baker," lie was saying, "I mi p < -ionatcly fond of art, and, as what"' liis-naine say , the study of tho beautiful is a o-w-w-w-w! oh! oh!" The wild whoop with which Mr. For re-i unexpectedly ended his lesthetic remark- -tartled the young lady so much that lie dropped her palette, palnl idc down, full upon Mr. For resl upturned face, while he, spring in" wildly to hi.- feet, began thrashing bis person with both hands, shouting "Shoo! shoo!" as he madly danced about the gre.cn sward! " I beg your pardon, Jadles," he ha < l .im d. a both the Mi -c-- 1; .'I staled at him agha-it, "blit I !■ !' lie re r. a bee' nest in I lie vicinity; 1 li.i \ ■ jit I been severely stung by one"— But his explanation was ( brought to an abrupt ylos'.' by a si^jju- lITTTLER. PA, FRIDAY. APHIL 31, 1893. lar nuis<\ which —a seeming combina tion of -titled scream, repressed gasp and laughter proceeded from Jo,- Whitney, who. with a very "SHOO! SHOO!" red face and a long alder stick, in the end of which was a pin, had suddenly and silently rejoined Tad and Polly. " You—you young villain!" wrath fully ejaculated Mr. Forrest, as the truth suddenly flashed across his mind, and, with this exclamation, he made a tudden dive in Joe's direction; but the wary youth, evading his grasp, dodged under his outstretched arm with a hilarious war-whoop, and disappeared among the trees. Mr. Forrest was very angry, particu larly when he discovered that a smear of pea-green paint extended from his forehead downward across his nose to his cheek, though he made a pretense of laughing it ofl" as a joke. "Just dip mv handkerchief in the pond-water. Tail, and wipe this paint ofl' my face, will you," he said, throw ing it to Tad, who, taking it in silence, scrubbed down Mr. Forrest's face till it wag tolerably clear. But with the paint W;LS a chalky substance from over Mr. Forrest's right eyebrow, and, too late, that gentleman clapped his hand to his forehead, with a slight exclamation. Tad's sharp eyes detected a small bluish scar on Mr. Forrest's temple, that had been skillfully hidden by a touch of French chalk. "How are you, Jones,' I '' thought Tad, with a little twinge of excitement, which he carefully concealed, handing back the handkerchief with apparent unconsciousness of the sharp glance given him by the city-bred gentleman, who clapped on his hat with considera ble haste. Tad then rejoined Polly, who had risen to her feet, and, after talking a little with the amused Mr. Mason, the two made their way slowly homeward by the shady wood-road that followed the pond shore for quite a distance. " Why, where is Bounce?" cried Polly, wondering what made Tad so unusually silent. " Here. Bounce! Bounce!" Bounce had grown into quite a sturdy, good-natured pup, with a gruff voice, and a propensity for picking up and carrying off any stray article that he found lying about. Sometimes it was Polly's slipper, or perhaps one of Mrs. Flagg's dish-towels; but, curiously enough, he never tore or destroyed any thing of the kind. S >. u.s, in answer to Polly's call. Bounce presently came rushing toward them through the bushes, Polly was not surprised at seeing something In his mouth. "Naughty Bounce!" said Polly, with make-believe severity; "bring it here this moment, sir." ttounce obeyed at once. " Why, it's a folded, newspaper, with Mr. Forrest's name on the edge," she exclaimed, as she took it from be tween Bounce's white teeth. "He rnust have dropped it out of his pocket when he jumped up so quick," added Polly, with a merry laugh, in which Tad, roused from Ills abstraction by the little incident, at once joined. "You'll see Mr. Forrest before I do. Tad," Polly continued, as she extended the newspaper; "I wish you'd give it to him somehow, I don't like, him one bit." "All right," replied Tad, taking the paper, "I'll hand it to him when I see him; though / don't fancy him much myself. But I wonder where on earth Joe is!" he added, suddenly noticing the prolonged absence of his friend and crony. "Joseph is here, son of the pale-face!" suddenly responded a guttural voice from the roadside, "but his feet no longer tread the paths of peace, for they are set upon the war-path, and before another moon the scalp of the Forrest chieftain shall dangle in his wigwam!" With this terrible announcement, a figure attired in a blanket shawl, with disheveled hair hanging about his face, which was adorned with alternate stripes of crimson, blue and yellow, burst forth from the bushes, uttering a fiendish and blood-curdling yell. He shook wildly aloft a white liuen um brella with one hand, while in the other was an article held in the manner of an Indian spear, which Tad and Polly sim ultaneously recognized as the younger Miss Baker's patent folding easel. After allowing Mr. Forrest's anger a sulli cient time to cool, Joe had wandered back to the shore, where he was at once chartered by Miss Baker to carry her shawl and sketching utensils back to her boarding-place, while Mr. For rest took the little party for a row on the pond. The possession of such avail able material was too great a tempta tion for Joe, who had at once utilized them, with the effect I have just de scribed. "11a! Ha!" cried the Indian brave, executing a fantastic war-dance in the middle of the road, while Bounce barked, and his two friends regarded his paint-smeared face with astonish ment, "does the daughter of the Lenni Lenape shrink back? Let her have no fear—the flower of his tribe wars not upon helpless women, nor does he fear even though the dread avenger be at his heels!" Perhaps tin- red man's ut terance would have been less boastful had lie known that the avenger, in the unexpected person of Deacon Whitney, was so close at hand. The deacon, hav ing been hunting up a stray steer along the pond shore, had suddenly turned a bend in the wood-road in time to recognize his erratic son's voice. For one brief moment Deacon Whit ney gazed at. Joe's grotesque grab In silent horror. And then, with a stride which brought him within reach, he seized the red man's ear with consider able emphasis. "The (lower of the tribe will j. ' stop this tomfoolery, an' march along home with the avenger," remarked the deacon, with grim pleasantry; and tin; youthful chieftain, in all the glory of bis trappings and war-paint, was meek ly led along by the ear in the direction of the paternal wigwam, to the un siuothcrablc delight of about twenty Bixport boys who were, playing base ball on the green, near the deacon's house. Meanwhile, lul and Polly made their way home more > 1 (uvl\ By this time 1 lie two had become great friend- 1 , and wire never at a loss for eonversa | tion while together. Tad (old his com panion all abont hi* life at Miss >mith'-. How Samantha hud taught him to milk Sukey, the Jersey cow, and even instructed him in the art of jrrooniiujr White-face, the family horse, that was said to be about twenty-five years old. Then, Miss Smith had shown him all about planting the veg etable garden and weeding flower-l>eds. Slw told Samantha (who told Tad) that he was by all odds the best help that had ever worked for her, and, con sidering he was a boy —Miss Smith cherishing a rooted antipathy to the generality of boys—she wasn't so sure but that she could say that she almost liked him. "I'm sure I like her ever so much," added Tad, in a rather unusual burst of confidence, "and folks that think she is grumpy and cross don't know her— that's all.'' '•Perhaps she'll adopt you some day. Tad," suggested Polly, laughing a lit tle at the idea of prim-visaged Miss Smith with an adopted son. "1 wish
