V'ith a recurrent touch of gloom ! Willie was forced to a'l nit that he didn't think be was. ' "Well. I'd like to take somebody of i just about your sl:-.e." went o:i his host, I "and I think that so neliody is you. ; What do you say. my hearty?" I "Klne! Fine!" shouted Willie. ! "Well, heave ho. there, and we'll ! splice the main brace. Keep out of the I lee scuppers while I hoist the mainsail. I Ila! IMysses. what do you think of ' that?" And Max. who lo.-ed to mix ! up nnutlenl terms for Wi lie's enter tainment, made the cleanest kind of a landing at his own pier. "Did you ever shiver your timbers, roinmodore?" nsked Willie. "Lots of times, Wellington, and still live to tell the tale. Don't forget about the Fourth side shows, fnt lady, pea nuts, elephants, pink lemonade we'll see It all." "Indeed 1 won't!" cried the child, wild wllh delight ns he rneed Into the "'i".-e to tell bis aunt. , She was watching for him anxiously. "Oh, Willie boy. where have vou been an the mofnlDg7" she exclaimed, kissing him. He told her breathlessly, and she listened to bis admiration of the com modore with rising color. "Isn't be perfectly splendid, Aunt Marjorle? They say there are ten ele phants at)4 the lions growl something awful! But I won't be afraid with the commodore. Only I wish you were exclaimed Willie, in "And he's so good coming too. Wouldn't you like It? I'm sure he'd tuke you, too, if you asked him." "N'o, honey, I I don't think so. I don't expect to see the commodore again; we we aren't friends any more." "Oh, n untie!" genuine dismay, too." Willie thought for a minute that his Aunt Marjorle was going to cry, and then he was surprised to bear her say In a manner' singularly unlike her usual gentleness. "Maybe some peo ple think he Is good, but I know his true character, and I do not think you ought to go around, nlone with him." This speech, was rendered with all the dignity that a woman of tho world, nged nlneteeu, could muster. "You went with him alone to lots of places," complained Willie. "You went last uight." "Yes, and that's just tho reason I'm not going again. If a man takes a girl to a dance and forgets her he will cer tainly forget a little boy when be takes him to tho circus, and then what would happen to yon?" Heady this was awful. Willie had never seen bis dear little aunt in such a state, but she was very sweet to him and took him out driving that after noon, stopping In the village to buy him candy and lots of flrewcrks for the Fourth, lie didn't know what to think about his beloved commodore, but saw him the next day and promptly repent ed the whole conversation. It seemed to him tho simplest way out of the dif ficulty. "Did you forget, commodore?" ho In sist e;".. "Oeat Scott. Willie. i:'ybe ! ilil; vl'e s.-:ys so: '.itt s l:e wasn't lonesome," ! . said rvi'iily. "(Ilils are queer crea t .res. Wollisi to:i: you'll that out ft.':. m day.

So Willie kept his counsel and was petted much by lib r.t::i'.l.' To- the next two days. Ou the inori'Iu;: of the Fourth he was tirin;; on bis craclce's from the open window In his lit;:? nir.htclothcs nt 4 o'elck. end Marjorle said never n wor.l of coi iplaint. She had made up her mind to t:ko him to the circus herself ami to get away early to avoid any po: Sole coti.l'ct with her former great frie nl. the co iimooore -now a stranger forever. Iiefore lunch was over, however, the commodore's touring car stopped nt the door and the commodore was standing o:i (he porch, cap In hand, nnnotmclng that he had come. "Yes. I see," returned Marjorle coo! ly, but deliberately avohliu his gai:e. Max had such a way of 1 i.iliin:; at one. "But what for?" "Why. to tnke my friend Julius Cae sar to the circus." Willie looked anxiously from one to the other In an ecstasy of hope and suspense. "I told Willie"- I "Yes, I know." he iu'.i'iupted. "lint if you come, too. it will be all right." "Oh.. yes, auntie!" cried Willie. Jump- , lug with Joyful anticipation. Marjorle tried hard to look cold and (li'rnil'.ed. "Would you spoil that child's day?" : asked the commodore, coming closer. ! "Marjorle, please!" His eyes urged her as well ns his voice. Site looked at him. "All right, I'll go. ; P.ut It's just on Willie's account." ; "Any reason will do," responded ! Max as he helped her Into the car. i "Hut maybe you can find n better one ' before we get home. I'm going to ride ; back here with you and William." lie lifted the delighted child, gave him a ! hug, and put him In the front seat t willi the chauffeur.

Good old times, says the Ban Antonio Light, are a delusion nnd a snare, and the man who sighs for them hns little conception of what they were. Return to them, would you? Then rise on a cold morning and wash at the pump, pull on a pnlr of rawhide boots thnt rival a tin can In stiffness, pull on a woolen shirt over yonr back and sit down to a bare meal with your three legged stool dancing around on a split slab floor, eat corn pone nnd bacon for a steady diet and labor fourteen hours out of twenty-four. Go without a dally paper, a fly screen, a mosquito bar, a spring mattress, a kerosene lamp, geehnw yonr oxen to market and alt on the floor of an ox cart as you wend your way to church or a frolic. Parch corn and peas for coffee and sassafras for tea and see how you like It. The old days are looked backward to affectionately, says the Galveston News, because they were the days of oar youth, of bounding blood and sup ple joints, the days of hope and the days of love and laughter and song. The days of the present will be the good old days of the coming generation and will be regarded by our successors as rather crude in customs and harsh In many ways, yet withal not to be de spised. The progressives of our age are the mossbacks of later eras. Fifty years hence we will be accounted as s:ciw and Immature as we now regard those of half a century ago. Fish Swallow Hand. Captains of Ashing smacks In the North sen have found thnt codfish at certain times of the yenr take sand in to their stomachs ns "unllnst." This, It would appear, Is done when the llsh are about to migrate from the shallow water covering the southern banks of the North sea to the deeper water far ther north. It hns been observed that fish cnught on the southern banks Just before tho migration begins nnd those caught In the northern waters after It Is cj.npleted have sand In their stom achs aud that the sand Is discharged after the arrival of the fish at the southern banks on the return migra tion. In proof of this it is stated that tho sand found In the fish often differs In color nnd quality from that of the bottom where they are caught. Wash ington Post. Great Men's Chlldliooa.

I don't look like a man with a load on his mind, do I? You prob ably think Hint you are liable to drop off nny time. On the contrary, any doctor will tell you thnt the average person with heart disease generally lives to a good old ago. The very care thnt a sufferer from henrt dlscnse tnkes of himself or herself Is circulated to lengthen tho years Indefinitely. You see, n man with a weak heart naturally Is careful of himself a bit. He doesn't commit any excesses, never overdoes anything, lives In moderation nnd thus keeps his vitality unimpaired. That's nil you hnve to do Just take care of yourself.
