Qt UU (Coprright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) O= SOUTERETECEIEEEDS: “How you feeling now, Roger?” “Snug as a bug in a rug!” “Mebbe we'd better forget digging gold and dig back for home, hey?” “Everybody would laugh at us. Vl be all right in a y or two and we'll strike a fresh trail, see?” Thus spoke Roger Small, rich man’s son of Chesterton, fifty miles distant, to his fides Achates, Zeb Walls. They were in an old barn and, lying on a heap ef hay and covered to the chin with a ragged horse blanket, Roger, with mottled face, watched his chum and nurse bustle about. The latter had set up light house- keeping. He had a small one-burner kerosene stove, a skillet and a few other kitchen accessories, a package of cereal, a bottle of milk and an old tea- pot. This was constantly simmering on the little oil burner and gave out an aromatic steam. “You see, you've got the measles,” said Zeb, “and all you can do for it is to lie still and keep warm, so I bor- rowed the blanket without asking, and as to the warm drinks you've have there’s loads of penny: the fields and that's the tea you’ getting. I found a letter with a re; lar and a special delivery stamp on it and cut them off and sold them for ten cents and bought the cereal.” “Oh, Zeb! The letter was intended for some one.” “Course it was. It’s addressed to a woman and some one dropped it be- fore it was mailed. I'll hunt her up No, “and deliver it.” “You're a true blue one, ain't you?” voiced Roger in grateful admiration. “I try to be. You would run away from home and, having none myself, I was glad to join you. Now you're think I'd drop you?” it then there were sounds of jolly gije voices outside. Half a dozen S peered in curiously. “It’s the two fellers we heard about running away from home,” spoke their leader, ii “Keep out! This is a hospital just now,” warned Zeb. “What do you mean?” was inquired. “Just what I say. My chum’s down with the measles and I’m nursing him,” and Zeb went outside with the group. “Huh!” muttered one of them, “He's lucky. Don’t have to go to school. Wish’t I had his sickness.” “You do?” challenged Zeb, his eye brightening. “Look here, any of you fellows anxious to catch the measles so you don’t have to go to school cane be accommodated at ten cents per. All you've got to do is to pay a dime, come in and sit by my chum for an hour or two and afore a day or so you'll break out most beautifully.” Zeb laughed at his own conceit, but the boys went away thoughtful. At noon two of them reappeared with an air of mystery and twenty cents be- | tween them, “Say,” observed one of them, sheep- ishly, “we'll take twenty cents’ worth of your meas between us.” “That's business,” said Zeb, and saw them seated beside his patient and pro- | ceeded down town to buy some delica- cies for his invalid chum, However infection did not occur and the would-be victims missed the opportunity of an anticipated vacation, but the story got out. Miss Ina Blair, schoolteacher, learned of the incident. “I never heard of such cold-blooded diabolism!” she told an assistant. “This Zeb Walls must be a horrible wretch. I shall see that he and his chum leave town at once.” She was pretty as a picture and gen- tle as a dove, but for a day or two had been laboring under disappointment and chagrin. Four days previous a had whispered to her at a tennis party that he intended sending her a very important letter next day, and it had not come. Zeb, making a fresh infusion of pen- nyroyal tea, was challenged from out- | side the barn by a young lady waving | her parasol at him. “Come here, you young reprobate!” she called. “Are you the wretch who has been trying to scatter an epidemic @f disease through the towne” __ ) _ : Cottcnwood Milling : & Elevator Co., Ltd. certain shy, but edoring young man ! | if AIR-TIGHT Guaranteed to remain air-tight always, SS] SS SS55 SSS.
