IX, Jake, and what do you
want? Spenk up lively, for I
must be oft to the meadow," said Fnrm-
er llrown to a small specimen ot hu
manity which had suddenly appeared
before him.
"Please, sir, I want a Job," was the
answer.
"You want a job. Jake? Ila, ha! and
what can you do? Can you rake the
cranberries or run the machinery, or
see lo the flood gates?"
I don't know, sir, but I could try,
for please, sir, father's sick arain, and
mother's having hard work to get
along with all the children and not
much work coming in this year, and
she told me unless I could earn the
money for It myself, I couldn't go to
school this winter, and so you see I'd
like a job if you can spare one."
Kindly Farmer Urowti's face soft
ened as he looked at the thinly-clad
lit-tle urchin so early In life in quest
of a "Job," and he said with a smile:
"Well, ray little man, come on then.
You shall have your job, but mind you
must work stiudy. No play in work
hours round here, remember. It's work
we're after."
little Jake drew himself up with a
sturdy look of Independence as he
said:
Tou Just bet I can work, Mr.
Brown."
"Well, come on, then," said the farm
er, and together they made their way
down the long road leading to what
was known as the cranberry meadow
or bog.
Mr. Brown had kept on adding a bed
now and then, from year to year, until
his cranberries formed his most im
portant product, and the picking sea
son was hailed by the grown-up boys
and girls of the neighborhood as the
or.e ehanre of the year to earn a little
money for new clothes and extra
schooling.
Jake pnt both hands in his pockets
in imitation of Farmer Erown. and fol
lowed h!m with a businesslike air
which might have distinguished a mil
lionaire, so full was it of Importance.
As they drew near the scene of his
'uture labors he became more and
more alive to the importance of hit
t rst Job.
Jake was not, at first sight, a pre
possesslntr yonngter a face all
freckles from exposure to tun and
wind, not even redeemed by the saucy
turn-up nose, that in story books al
ways makes interesting the plain faee.
No, Jake certainly was not hand
soir.e. hut thore was a pathetic look
about the mouth and eyes that seemed
to appeal to one's heart for pity and
tympatiiy, a look as of one who had al
ready known some of the burdens of
life.
But. although Jake appeared so
timid and shrieking, there was some
thing true Wue about the little fellow,
and under his ragged Jacket there beat
n honest little heart that ttu des
tined to do something noble yet In the
world.
Down In the meadow were the cran
berry pickers hard at work gathering
the ruddy berries, sorting tbem, pour
ing Jsto barrels, everyone eager and
alert to do his or ber part in the cran
berry harvesting of the year.
It was i pretty scene, viewed by one
who had hitherto been a stranger to
it. The hi!U is the distance all aflame
with the autumn glow, and the farm
houses nestling In their shadow the
meadow lands and fields begicning al
ready to look bare and sere, for the
frosty night had been many the
cranberry bigs were the spot where
Ufe seemed to be centered.
Dozens A men were raking the cran
berries from the flooded bogv while
Uside the plckicg-over boose drzens
tvf gfrls were larl at work pitking
over lis berries as they rattled down
ff.t) the bits before them.

7t always ttta with , IsVt
It, Fannie T" laughed black-eyed Kitty
Wells, who was always tht life any
group, ao full was ah of good-na lured
fun.
Juat then Mr. Brown entered, bring
ing little Jak with him. and as b en
tered hi aaid in his brisk, hearty voice:
"Look here, girls. I've brought you a
new helper. Make hira run errands for
you, and can you make room for bim to
pick over at one of your bins?'
No one spoke at first, for many in the
neighborhood had no sympathy with
Jake's drunken father, or for his shift
less family, aa the neighbor called it,
so there seemed to be no place for
Jake until at last rrcntle Fannie
Damon broke the silence by aaylng:
"I can make room for him here, Mr.
Brown," and Jake took hla place be
side her, and she kindly instructed him
In bis new duties In a way that forever
won hia honest little heart's alle
giance. Dny after day Jake held manfully
to his duties, but ofttlmes the work
was hard and irksome, for beeide the
constant picking over it wns: "Jake,
come here," and, "Jake, run there,"
from morning till night, and not al
ways In the kindliest tone either, for
some of the girls would not forget that
he was drunken Jake Taylor's boy, and
must be treated accordingly.
"Girls," said Fannie one day, "please
be more kind to Jake, for he Is such a
good bov and tries so hard to be help
ful." "Do you suppose we're going to treat
old Jake Taylor's boy like a prince?"
aaid Kitty, outspoken as usual.
"But, Kitty, let'a be kind to him for
his own sake," said Fannie. "lie Is very
quirk to feel every alight, and he Is so
sensitive about his father already.
Thnt is what makes hinjso shy,"
The cranberry picking season sped
on. The October daya and nights were
very chilly now, and Jack Frost had
painted ail the trees In brilliant colors,
while the frost flowers lifted their
white facta from the brown stretch of
meadow lands like children of sum
mer, pale with fear at finding them
selves so far away from their kindly
mother.
Little Jake worked faithfully day
nfter day, despite weariness and the
fact that no one indoors or out seemed
disposed to pay him any attention, ex
cept inghlsgentlerlend, Fannie, whose
kind words and smiles had made him
lier willing slave. So when one day
came, and ah was not found in her
place, life looked dull Indeed to little
Jake, lie winked back a tear as he
heard some one say that ahe wa tired
out, and would not be able to work
any more, although she had depended
on the money to pay for a term at the
academy, which ahe had hoped would
enable her to teach In one of the vil
lage schools, nt her Invalid mother had
almost nothing for her support.
As Jske listened to the talk about
her, the thought came to htm: "Well,
here is my money. I might give It to
her." He put the thought away aa one
that must not be entertained, but as
he remembered her kindness. It oc
curred to him over and over again, and
it seemed so like a voice that he found
himself unconsciously answering:
"Well, don't I want to go to school,
too, and I haven't any other way to
earn money. Why should I give It to
herr
So he thought on all day, one mtn
ttte deciding that his friend should
have his money, the next thinking that
he needed It quite as much himself.
The hours went by very slowly. No
one seemed to notice him except to
send him hither and thither on er
rands, now to the story above with a
message, now out to the edge of the
bogs where he would fain have lin
gered, for the autumn air was bracing
and clear, and the, meadows were so
pretty with the ruddy berries showing
their heads above the water which
flooded them.
Farmer Brown, who had been kind to
Jake whenever he had a chance to
speak with him. met him as he came
from an errand back into the cran
berry house. j
"Well, my little man, how is business ;
to-day?" he kindly asked.
"First rate, sir," answered Jake, i
stralirhteninir himself, and crowins I
certainly an inch taller under the
kindly look.
As he reentered the room one of the
men shouted to him from the upper
floor: "Jake, bring up some water and
be lively."
lie started cheerfully on the errand,
but when half way up the ladder-like
stairway he heard a creaking sound
and felt something give way. Fran
tically he clutched at the side of the
ladder, but failed to find support, and
with a cry fell to the floor beneath,
where he lay motionless. The terrified
girls gathered around while Mr. Brown
lifted him from the floor, pillowing bis
head on his knee, while he tried to re
store him to consciousness.
At last be opened hla blue eyes, and,
eelng Fannie Brown's kindly face
above Urn, murmured, faintly:
"Please give It all to her, for you see
I'm a man, whfle she's only a girl."
Then he clcned his ryes again and
moaned faintly. He was quickly car
ried to his home and a physician sum
moned, who found that the extent of
lis Injuries was a broken leg, which
would b likely to keep him In bed a
good many weeks.
Jake's sad-eyed mother, patiently
accepting thi new burden, set to work
to make Lim as comfortable a possi
ble, and (toiler' lovingly on him a ahe
psAsed from hit bedside to the next
room, where lay the father whom so
maty condemned for hi shlfUeas
wys.
One rnortili-g a week or two later
Jake received an envelop from Mr.
Brown containing the wages h had
earned at the cranberry harvesting.
IS had told hi mother of th us
to whl'.b It wished to put Ms money,
and she, although she knew they would
orely need It tor thrmselv, could
rot bear to quench tb 'park of gtn
ratify in Jtkt, and ao BtfJ,
little Jake, Vstatrrctl p la V.n- .
torionsly printed on th eutald ot thi
envelop.
i s i a
"TO MISS FANNIE,
FROM HER FRIEND JAKE.
P. M.-TO OO TO THE
CADEMT."
When Fannie received the little pack
age she smiled and cried over it in
turns, while she said to the girl friend
who had brought IU
"As if I would take his money, when
lie needs It so much more than I, es
pecially now, since Mr. Brown baa
been so kind as to offer to loan me the
money for the academy. No, I ahall
send it back to the generous little fel
low, of course."
"Look here," said Kitty (for It. was
the who had brought the package),
'I tell you what let'a do: Let's go
there some nlgbt after school and
give htm a surprise party, and then
get e many as are willing to promise
to go there in leisure hours and teach
him until he is able to go to school
again."
"Agreed." cried Fannie, and Kitty
hurried of! to see the other girls and
secure their aid, which was willingly
promised, for they were all kind
hearted girls and hod been much
ashamed of the way in which they had
treated little Jake.
So one evening after a day when the
broken leg had been unusually trouble
some and time had gone slowly for lit
tle Jake, as he had no books or games
to whilo away the hours, there came
a knock at the door, and when Mrs.
Taylor opened it a bevy of bright girl
faces appeared, and as tbey clustered
round Jake with kind greetings each
one laid down a parcel on the bed.
As he opened tbem one by one he
found school books for which he bad
longed, two or three bright story
books nnd a dissected map of the
world, for which he could hardly ex
press his thanks, so great was his
delight, for Jake was an ardent little
etudent in geography.
Aa he looked from one to the other
of the little group around blm he
smiled in the pathetic way he had and
said: "What made you doit? Oh, you
are all so kind!"
"We wanted you to know how sorry
we are for your hurt and to do some
thing to help you forget It," said bis
friend Fannie, who bad been dele
gated spokesman of the party.
"And we're coming every night aft
er school to hear your lessons until
you are well again," cried impulsive
Kitty Wells.
Little Jake wns almost too happy to
speak as he listened to tbem, and as
tbey bade him good night he said, in
his quaint way: "I guess the angels
must have told you to do it."
That night as hia mother came to
kisa him and give hia pillow a plumping
up she discovered a folded paper uc
der the pillow, whioh, on being opened,
was found to contain ISO in bills and
these words: "For an unselfish boy
who was willing to give all he had to
another," and tinder them a list oi
names, headed by Mr. Brown's, 'and
followed by everyone who had been
at work in the cranberry meadow.
"Isn't this a happy night, mother?"
raid Jake, smiling up into her face.
"I'm glad I broke my leg, else I should
never have known how good folks ore.
The girls kept their word, and night
after night they came for the self
inspired tn?l of helping Jake with his
lessons, ur.tl it wns nstoni.hirg how
fast he learned during :li- winHr, for
it was month before he i- u!i! walk
again, and yet to him it was tl.e hap
piest time of his life.
His poor mother, under the influ
ence of the kind interest which people
began to show toward them, bright
ened up and seemed to take heart
again, while the father, feeling the
rame influence, began to give up bis
drink and look about for work, which
wns only too gladly given when bis
neighbors perceived that be was In
earnest.
"Yes, girls. Cranberry Jake will
make his mark In the world yet." said
Kitty one day to her friends.
"I don't doubt it, but why do you call
him by that title?" asked one.
"Oh, just to remind myself how hate
ful I was to him last fall, and how
patient and uncomplaining he was all
the time.'
Next spring Jake went back to
school, and to bis great delight he was
even a little in advance of his classes.
-
Things have gone well with the Tny -
lor family since then. The father la'
fast becoming a respected citizen,
while Mrs. Taylor looks years-younger,
and "Cranberry Jake." as Kitty Wells
rometlmes calls him, Inst spring com

THE KING OF CURIOS.
lie
Needed Only th Treasure mt the
End of h Rainbow to Com
plete His Collection.
The old king ot curios was an en-
thusiosiic collector of everything
fctrouge or rare, and he spared neither
pains nor time nor money in adding to
hi treasures. A slight idea of the
value of hi collection may bo gained
from the fact that it contained, among
other curiorities, the cloak of Little Ited
Hiding Hood, a nightcap of one of the
rieveu Sleepers; the tuffet on which sat
Miss MufTet; the puil of Simple Simon;
o chimney pot from the house that Jack
built, and pickled peppers picked by
I'eter Piper.
Now, It happened, one day, thnt the
king heard of the treasure at the end of
the rainbow, and nething would do but
he must have that; and he forthwith
summoned the chancellor of the ex
chequer. "Oh, but really, your majecty," said
that functionary, "there, la only just
enough money in your majesty's cof
fers to meet the expenses of the state,
nnd we had to raise a loan on part of
the regalia to get the peppers. It is
against the law to put on extra tax
on the people, or we might do it In that
i way. Oh, dear!" he ended, ruefully
"if we can't, how can we?"
The difficulty of the position only in
creased the king's desire. He passed
sleepless nights in consideration, und
( --i ... - - -
1 then issued a proclamation:
"Oyes! Oycs! Oyes! Whoso ahall
bring to lil majecty the treasure at
the end of the rainbow shall marry his
daughter, her royal highness the peer
leas Princes Bloochina. And may the
king live forever!"
It wa Indeed a most tempting pri.e,
for the lady was celebrated for her
beauty and goodness. Two princes,
four barons, a lion tamer, a thistle-sifts-er,
the owner of a Jerusalem pony, and
a score of other adventurers Immediate
ly resolved to try their luck. Hut alx
j month of hardship was quite enough
lor me princes, a to uie uarons, tney
traveled to grtlicr for company, but
continually squabbled over trifle
suh a who should go first. Home of
the suitor thought the treasure wa
far out on the ocean, aud could not
reach it for sealckness; others lost
themselves In wandering over the
mountains; aud bo It felt out that, at

nes. One of the easiest and most
tempting way of entering the path of
the wicked Is through the gate of i
moderate use of intoxicating drinks.
Tbey are so pleasant and seem so harm

19. "Th way of the wicked is as
darkness," where men stumble, and
"know not at what they stumble:"
is the darkness of Ignorance, of sorrow,
of sin, of punishment, of hopelessnett,
of deapiilr.
