ROGERS. cook and have a good time generally, and leave other people to have the game. It wasn't exactly selfishness, but the way campers have, whether on the coast or far inland. The campers had been camping for three days and had just got things in order when a young girl accom- panied by a man servant came down to the point. Dick Aimes had gone off clamming alone, but the others were on hand, and to them the girl said: “It you have a lease of this ground please let me see it." “We—we just camped down here,” stammered one of the boys. “So I see.” “We thought it was free.” “That would be a happy condition of affairs. As I have leased the cot- tage and grounds, I am afraid I shall have to ask you to vacate.” “What—right away?” “You could probably go this after- noon.” “We could hire the grounds from you?" “Hardly.” The girl closed the matter by walk- ing away, and was followed by her attendant, after he had paused long enough to say: “If you are here in the morning I'll have your outfit dumped into the sca.” After a bit Dick Almes returned from his clamming and was made wise to what had happened. “A good-looking girl?” he asked. “Finest ever.” “Think she is engaged?” “Didn’t look like it.” “Didn’t ask for me?" “Didn’t even know you lived.” “But she shall know.” “Oh, you can't buy her off. We tried that.” “You boncheads put it in a busi- ness way, instead of appealing to her sympathies. 1las she got a papa and mamma—a brother or sister?” “I don’t know." ‘Well, it's for me to find out. You “Tramp,” Added the Aunt. fellows go ahead and pack up and get along down the shore four or five miles. If anything happens to me you are to know nothing about me. My name is to be Mud to this crowd.” “But what's game?” asked the boys in chorus. “I am going to fall in love and get married. Can’t give you further par ticulars now. Have I got on my oldest duds?” “Regular tramp outfit.” ‘And I look?” “Thirty days for vagrancy.” When the others left camp and sailed away Dick Aimes was not with them. He went through the woods to the highway, and just at sundown that evening a tramp might have been seen approaching the Point Pleasant cottage leased for the summer by Miss Ida Wellman, portrait painter and authoress. An aunt was with her as a chaperon. She had a man of all work and a female cook. . The two ladies sat on the veranda as the tramp approached. If they hadn’t been sitting there he wouldn't have approached when he did. As & matter of fact, he had been hidden in a thicket opposite the house for the past hour waiting for the fitting moment to make his debut. “Wanderer!” said Miss Ida as she caught sight of the man. “Tramp!” added the aunt with perspicacity. “He totters as he walks. He may have had no food for two or three days.” . “He may be tottering to get sym- pathy.” “Oh, aunt, how hard you are! Mis- fortune may come to any of us. The man is ragged, but he hasn’t a viclous look. On the contrary—" And ten feet from the veranda ' steps, and just as he was lifting his Ito stand cross-examination In case R s g - clp in salute, the tottering tramp | tottered to his fall. i ‘The aunt called for “Charles.” | Miss 1da cried out & word and burried down the “Charles” came burrying back yard with cudgel in and started to rush upon tramp without ceremony. “We must get him into the and to bed,” commanded the “He may be garbed as a tramp, be's not one. You both ought to that. He. surely needs kindness shall have it. Poor man! think you can walk upstairs help?” “I'll try,” he groaned. “Help him, Charles. Put him in the back bedroom, and I'm going to tele- phone to the doctor in the above. He has surely endured hard- *E g 5 g ?s sr2f §i g 83k ing down with a fever. Gently, Charles. Don’t handle him as if he were a bar rel of potatoes!” Dick Aimes was almost carried up- stairs, and he surely made it as hard for Charles as he could. In return the man no sooner had him above stairs than he shook him to and fro and muttered with savage temper: “You get well within an hour, you blamed old tramp, and take yourself cut of this or I'll break every bone in your body!” The doctor came and feit Dick's|d pulse and looked at his tongue and usked many questions, and then went down and reported to Miss Ida: “I am not quite sure of the case vet. One thing I do know, however— he's no tramp.” “Then what?” “He visits the manicurist and the Turkish bath; he is an athlete; he is temperate. In fact, he is a gentleman and the son of a wealthy man. His general health is good and I can't Guite make out what has caused his present state, though I expect to find an improvement tomorrow.” “Aunt, there's the foundation here for a good story,” observed Miss Ida when the doctor had departed. “Our stranger was yachting with friends. They were wrecked. He was cast ashore more dead than alive. Per- Laps all others were lost. The rag- red garments he has on were given him by fishermen. The wreck may Lave happened a hundred miles away. I'eing penniless, he has had to walk. He may have had a slight sunstroke and had an attack of asphasia. It may be a week before his name comes back.” “And then will come gratitude, ad- b miration, love and marriage,” sneered the relative. “How mean of you to say that! Am I not devoted to my painting and authorship? It may be the plot for & novel.” Next morning Charles was told to JODITOBODOPC IO o ha take some gruel and tea up to the frvalid and report on his condition. lle came downstairs on the run to exclaim: “He's out of bed and dressed!” “He is?" “And he knows his name!" “What is it?” “And he slammed me against the wall!” “What for?” “And he's come down and s sit- ting on the veranda to have a word with you, Miss Wellman, before he “Well?" queried the young lady, as she passed out and stood before the gtranger. “Can I come back in another suit of clothes, carrying my cardcase and letters of reference, and tell you all about t?” “Then—then there to tell?” “Yes, and apologies to offer.” “You may come,” she sald slowly, after a long look at him. It was as they were leaving the cottage for the city in the fall that the aunt said: “If you are going to Europe on your bridal tour next summer—" “Oh, you can tag along behind us, you dear old goose!” laughed the girl. “My tramp may eat me up, you know.” (Copyright, by Assoclated Literary Press.) is something On Onions. Kill the onion and you leave & gap in the universe. Kill anything else and there is a substitute. The potato is akin to the cereals, squash and cab- bage and turnips and caulifiower are of the same family, beans are elon- gated peas, the lemon is a pessimistie orange, beef re-incarnated grass, wa- termelons just the survivor of a very | fit cucumber, and so on. But the onion is sui generis alone, unique, tri- umphant. It is a special creation to tempt the palate of a weary world. It proves the futility of man's wisdom. He might have guessed at everything else under the sun, but he would have never guessed an onion. Science may deduce & new star before it becomes visible, or radium before its discovery, but this succulent, fragrant, starry vegetable would have gone uninvented forever, had not its own insinuating, yet not bashful qualities forced them- selves into tear-brimmed eyes and liquescent anticipatory lips. With what a mixture of gratitude and awe should we view the spectacle of na- ture turning her energies to the trans- muting of mere clay into a vegetable with an artistic temperament!—Rich- mond (Va.)
