Capt. Jimmy
A True Story for Boys.
j
During the vacation days several of
tho boys of Llnvllle, a small country
village, decided upon spending a week
or ten dayB on the banks of a beauti
ful river a mile distant from their
homes. The place chosen for their
outing was within a short walk of a
big flour mills and was on a rocky
cliff overhanging tho bank of the
river. Piercing this cliff were numer
ous cavelike tunnels, scarce large
enough to admit of a small ground
animal. But the boys who had come
there to "camp out" Imagined that
within the cliff at a certain distance
from the small entrance! they might
find a large cave or inner cavern
where might be found relics of a past
age.
"I tell you, kids," declared Hank
Jones, leader of the band, "that we'll
find something worth our while if
we'll dig Into this cliff. All we've got
to do Is to enlargo one of these tun
nels and then we can walk right into
a cave that may outdo the Mammoth
Cave of somewhere I don't Just
know the place."
"Pennsylvania, ain't It?" asked
Bert Jackson, meaning the noted cave
In question.
"Ho-ho-ho!" laughed Andy Thomas
at Bert's expense. "Pennsylvania?
Well I guess not. The Mammoth
Cave Is In old Kantuck, or so the
geography sayB. You'd better find out
omethlng about caves before you
talk about them."
"Well, I don't know as it's of any
importance the Mammoth Cave,"
said Hank Jones. "The question Just
now before the public Is: 'Shall we
oeganlze a cave diggers' union and
go to work at once?' "
"Yep," cried half a dozen voices,
and not one said "no."
''."Well, we'll have to go up to the
mill and borrow some digging Imple
ments," said Hank. "It's too far to
go home for 'em. I know old Mr.
Perkins, the miller, and he'll lend us
eomo spades and picks. He trades
at my father's store, and he'll remem
ber me all right, all right."
So it was agreed that Hank and
Bert should go to the mill Just
around the bend la the river ando.sk
to borrow some digging Implements
with which to gain an entrance to the
imagined cave. But upon reaching
the mill the boys were told by the
head miller that Mr. PerklnB had
gone to town, and that he would not
take the liberty of lending anything
from tho machine shop of the mill.
Filled with disappointment Hank and
Bert started to return to their camp
ground when they saw a little chap
busy about the mill. He was what Is
commonly called a "small hand," and
was performing small chores. At the
moment that Hank and Bert beheld
him he was cleaning dried dirt from
a large spade, while nearby lay an
other implement waiting for cleaning.
"Say, they're the very things we
want," declared Hank, pointing to the
spades. "But I'll bet we'll have a
time getting them from that kid.
He's old Perkins' , favorite 'rousty,'
and Is an orphan that he got from
omewhere I forget where. But,
Bay, Jet's ask him for the spades, any
way. He can't do anything but re
fuse. "
So saying, Hank approached the
boy whose name was Jimmy Malone
anu Baia: "ay, Jim, don t you
know me? I'm Mr. Jones' kid. Pa
has the grocery store up town the
one by the postoffice, you know."
"Oh, yes," said Jimmy, putting
down the spade to chat with the boys.
"Yes, I know your pa. I often go
there on errands for Mrs. Perkins."
"Well, ub kids a lot of us are
down here on the river camping,"
explained Hank. "And we've decided
to do some cave digging, if we can
get the Implements to dig with. Now,
we want to borrow those spades you
have there, if Mr. Perkins waa here
he'd let us take 'em right off. "
Jimmy looked undecided. "I don't
know about that," he aald, beginning
to clean the spade. "Mr. Perkins 1b
awful particular about his machinery
end tools. He gives orders that noth
ln' in the tool shop be loaned. " -
"Oh, he'd not refuse me, kid," de
clared Hank, determined now -upon
Setting possession of the desired
spades. "Come, let me take them.
I'll give you my word that they'll both
he returned to you early this even
ing." , "But I mustn't let anything go out
of the mill -while Mr. Perkins Is
away," insisted Jimmy. And there
upon he took the spades and put them
in the Implement shop which was at
tached to the mill.
Hank and Bert turned away; but as
they did so Hank called out to Jimmy,
"We'U get even with you yet, kid, for
your smartness. 80 long!"
"That's all right," laughed Jimmy.
Then, whistling merrily, he wont
about his work.
' A tew dava later Mr Parlrl Ilk ui.r-.t
Jimmy on an errand to a farm a mile
Uiatant from tho mill. Jimmy, In
making a "short-cut" to the farm, was
' obliged to pass the town boys' camp,
ituated, aa I have aald, Just round
tot tond In the river from th mm
As he was passing the camp he heard
1 lamillar voice callim mil m Mm-
Hello, there. Stuart Alee! .W.ut to
get acquainted with us? We're the
cave diggers, and we know how to
seek revenge on a chap like you."
Then, before Jimmy had a chance
to say a word, half a dozen boys sur
rounded him and began to torment
him by calling him ugly names, and
to strike him pretty sound blows.
Jimmy, seeing that he had only the
sixth part of a chance, decided not to
light, but to use calm reason. "Now,
will you tell me, boys, what this all
means?" he asked, trying to dodge
the slaps from the various hands that
swung about him. "I ask you to
please allow me to go on my way.
Mr. Perkins has sent me on an errand,
and I muBtn't be delayed."
"Mustn't Is a pretty strong word
to use In your present condition,"
boldly laughed Hank, giving Jimmy
a cuff on the ear which made It tingle
and tingle. "Now, take that and that
for your kindness In lending us the
spades the other day." And Hank
gave Jimmy several other keen slaps
across the cheek and ears. "I guess
you'll not refuse to lend spades to us
again If we ask for 'em, will you?"
"You bet I will," replied Jimmy,
with determination. "When I'm In
charge of another person's property
I'll protect It. If you want anything
from Mr. Perkins you'll have to go to
him for it."
"Oh, thanks for the Information,"
sneered Hank. "But we got spades
and picks, all that we wanted. And if

thought our time had come! de
clared Hank, spitting uome dirt from
hie mouth. "But say who "
And then his eyes fell on Jimmy, who
was resting on the handle of a spade,
perspiration streaming from bis
face. "Say, did you yon get us
out?" Hank asked of Jimmy, his
face flaming with a blush of shame.
"Well, I helped," replied Jimmy.
"I got Dan Smith out, and together
we did the rest. But that's nothing."
"Nothing!" and Hank's voice quav
ered. "No, and It was nothing for ma
coward that I was to slap your
face a little while ago, and nothing
for you to turn round and rescue us
all alx cowards from death, for ai
sure as we are standing here we'd
have died In there If it hadn't been
for you, Jimmy. And for one I'm
ready to say that you're a hero and
that I'm a blamed roward or was a
coward. But right here I want to say
that your conduct to-day has made
me ashamed of myself, and that aftet
thlB minute I'll try to act In every waj
as I think you Jimmy would act.
You're a brick, you are, and don't any
of you boys here forgst it."
"He's all right," said Bert, batting
his eyes to keep back tears of emo
tion, as ha grasped Jimmy's shoulder
and pressed It In a boyish way, trying
to show his gratitude. "And, like
Captain Hank of the Cave Diggers,
X feel so ashamed of myself that I
could hide my hend In a hole and not
look anybody in tho face for a
month."
"Well, you've had about all the
hiding in a hole you ought to want for
a lifetime," laughed Jimmy, too kind
hearted and forgiving to entertain re
sentment against the boys who had
been so unknld to hlni a short time
bofore. "And now I must be off to
attend to my errand. I'll get a good
scolding for havin? been so long
about It, too, If I don't look out."
"..o, you won't get a scolding,
Jimmy, for I mean for us boys to go
in a body to the mill and report to
Mr. Perkins your heroic conduct.
And, what's more, I mean to make a
clean breast of the way wo treated
you a few minutes before the cave-In
of the tunnel. And I'll also tell him
how we wanted you to lend us the
spades and picks belonging to the
mill. Oh, I shan't keep back a thing,
even if the truth and tho whole trutb
does put me in a bad light."
"And we're with you, Captain
Hank," cried five voices, and the cave
diggers meant every word of what
they said.

Advertising the Mightiest Factor
"By TRUMAN A. DeWEESE.
Advertising is to-day the mightiest factor in the busi
ness world, it is an evolution of modem industrial com
petition. It is a business builder, with a potency that goes
beyond human desire. It is something more than a "drum
mer" knockiug at the door of the consumer something
more than mere salesmanship-on-paper.
Advertising Is a posltlvo creative force In business. It
builds factories, skyscrapers and railroads. It makes two
blades of grass grow In the business world where only one
grew before. It multiplies human wants and Intensifies
desires.
Before advertising was developed Into a fine art, and
before It became a factor in the commercial world, the
business of the manufacturer and merchant was to supply
the normal needs and desires of the human family. Mer
chandising was bound by man's necessities and by his
meager knowledge of the luxuries which he deemed within
hlB reach. System.
you'll turn around you'll see our cave
one as fine as you'd find anywhere.
And If you'd have behaved In a
friendly way toward us cave diggers
we'd have invited you to go into it
and explore it. But you're a little
Smart Alec, and we don't want to
have anything to do with you. So get
along, and don't come back this way,
either."
So saying, Hank gave Jimmy a
shove by way of emphasizing his
words. Then, with a loud whoop, the
boys ran to the mouth of the cave and
crawled In, one at a time. But Just
as the last boy was half way Into the
cave Jimmy heard a smothered
scream and, turning round, beheld
that the dirt was crumbling from the
mouth of the recently dug cave. He
ran back with all possible speed and
saw, to his horror, that the earth
about the little cave's entrance had
fallen Into the cavity, and the feet
and legs of the last boy entering were
Btlll protruding. Without a moment's
delay Jimmy grabbed up a spade that
lay near and began digging for dear
life. Soon ho had the boy oxtrlcated,
and when be pulled him from the
debris the poor, half-smothered fel
low could scarcely speak, so exhausted
were his lungs for want of air. "All
the breath I could get was from the
cave Inside," he gasped. "But the
other kids I'm afraid they'll smoth
er." "We've got to get 'em out," de
clared Jimmy. "Here, gst to work
with me; there's no time for fooling."
Then came a faint wall from the
Interior of the cave, which was a
chamber of name six feet square, and
which the "cave diggers" had found
on enlarging one of the little tunnels
running into It from the outside. But
bo much dirt had crumbled Into the
entrance tunnel, which was about
four feet in length and eighteen
Inches In height, that Jimmy and the
reacuad boy (by name, Dan Smith)
had some difficulty In reaching the
tmprlsoned boys. But Jimmy felt
sure that enough air entered through
the loose soil to keep the boys Inside
the cave alive for some time, and
their crlos for help assured him in
this supposition, for every minute he
could herr them yelling at the top
of their voices: "We're alive! Some
body dig ub out of here! Help!
Help!"
And Jimmy would call back to
them: "Be patient. We'll soon show
you daylight. Help la coming! " And
all the time that he encouraged them
ho worked like a trooper, digging
with a fury that astonlnhed the less
vigorous Dan Smith.
After about ten minutes' of work
Jimmy, with some aid from Dan, bad
a hole large enough for the boya to
crawl out through. And a badly
acarod lot of half-suffocated fellows
came Into daylights heaving to fill
the way Mr. Perkins greeted Jimmy
he knew the "cat was out of the bag,"
as he expressed It afterward. And
so It was, and Mr. Perkins was so
pleased with his little "rousty" that
ho gave him tho afternoon off to go
merry-making with the "cavo dig
gers," and slipped a dollar bill Into
his hands besides. "That's to buy
you any little glmcracks In town that
you might want," he explained". "And
now, remember, you nre to have a day
off each week and a dollar bill with
which to celebrate the holiday. When
I get hold of an honest, brave and In
dustrious boy I mean to make it
worth his while to stav with me. And
now get you off, young fellows, and
put In tho remainder of the day
above ground. Let caves and cave
digging alone."
"Yes, air; than you," said Hank,
bowing to Mr. PerklnB. 1 "And we're
going to make Jimmy our cap:aln.
I resign in his favor. A captain
should be bravo, and to-day I proved
my unworthlnesa to the office."
And amidst a cheer from the six
throats Jimmy was led from the mill
and was called "Captain Jimmy tha
Brave." Washington Star.

It was found that the moraine, a
