Here you insist on my remaining a land lubber. 1 don't fit in. Let me go back to the blue and bounding billow again, and throw me off your mind, and make me happy.” Old Gregory Baird shook his head dolefully and groaned. He was very fond of this erratic relative of his. When Donald returned from running away to sea after a voyage around the world two years previous, the uncle had set down his foot hard. “Here is a comfortable home and enough to last out several lifetimes,” he had observed. “I'll leave it to you and Rupert if you obey me and be- have yourselves. If you don’t, I'll cut the rebel off with a penny.” And so, not that he thought of the money, but because he loved and re- spected the old man, Donald hung around the Baird homestead, bored to death and longing constant- ly for the rollicking breezy life on the ocean wave. “It’s all right, your studying navi- gation and trigonometry, and all those sailor-like gimcracks,” now spoke Uncle Gregory, “but all you need to do is to find some good woman for a wife, settle down here, run ghe es- fate and enjoy life.” “I've yet to see the lady I'd take for a mate!” laughed Donald. “I'd rather be free to rove as I please and busy myself about the village here, even if all I find to do is to spin sea yarns for the boys and girls and make toy boats for the little tots.” “You're wrong there, Donald,” inm sisted the old man. “Every man owes it to himself to settle down and raise | a family. Now look at your cousin, Rupert—dresses well, goes into the social swim, and has got in with the half high-up Miss Myrtle Caruthers set at | Silver lake. Shouldn’t wonder if he'd marry her. Don’t you see he’s got a purpose in life?” | “I don't,” answered Donald bluntly, | “if he’s just posing to be stylish and ' marry for money.” | Donald was a general favorite in'! the village. He was going home one | lowering, blustering afternoon a(ter' making some wonderful kites for some poor school children, when he noticed people running towards the public square. “What's up?” he inquired of a pass- i ing pedestrian. 5 | “Don’t know, but big crowd down yonder. I see an automobile. May- be-it's a smashup.” As Donald neared the square he noticed the machine in question. It! contained the driver, the most beauti- | ful young girl he had ever seen, and | her maid. The latter held an empty ; bird cage, and like her young mis-! tress, her eyes were directed up into the air. The crowd about them were gaping and staring in the same di- | rection. | The town hall was the tallest build- ing in town. Running up from its ' roof there was a flag pole fully sev-; entyfive feet in height. The strong ! breeze was whipping the loose ropes | about this, and at the apex knob, where they were fastened, a bright blue object was fluttering frantically. It was a blue bird, which the trav- eled Donald at once recognized as a product of Borneo, famous for its brilliant color and a song note of sweetly expressive cadence. Just now, however, the poor imprisoned creature was uttering shrill cries of terror and pain. “It got out of the cage, flew away, and its foot is caught in the u.ngledl ropes up yonder,” some one remarked. That it was the cherished pet of the beautiful young lady, Donald at once discerned. No one ventured to suggest a way to release the bird. A first glance at the face of the young lady had enthralled Donald. As a second epicted her rare anxiety, Don- ald spoke to a bystander. “I will get her pet for her,” he said simply, and disappeared within the building. A rustle of intense excitement swayed the watching throng as Don- ald appeared on the roof of the build- ing. Then there 'was a breathless hush as he began climbing the | smooth, yielding pole. It was en-! trancing to view his sailor-like skill and hardihood. As Donald neared the top of the pole it bent over danger- | ously. With accurate nicety of equi- | poise, how'ev'er. he reached the top, | released the blue bird, and holding it | in one hand slid easily to the roof. A tremendous cheer rent the air as he appeared below. The eager | maid was advancing with the cage. He slipped the truant within it and modestly stepped away. “The young lady asked about you, she wrote down your name; she said she must see you to thank you,” ai neighbor told Donald that evening. “Do you know who she is?” | “No.” . “The rich Miss Caruthers. They have a magnificent summer home up at Silver lake.” Then the next morning, rather grudgingly it seemed, his Cousin Ru- pert came to him. “I saw Miss Caruthers last evening,” he announced. “It seems you cap- tured one of her lost pets. She in- sists that you must come up to the lake this evening. Say,” continued Rupert, with a rather disdainful | glance at the careless attire of his humble cousin, “fix up a bit, will you?” _ “Ashamed of me, are you?’ chal-| lenged Donald, with a laugh. 3 } “Of course not; but you see, that | is, I like the family to make a good impression—see?” WISHED SHE COULD DIE And Be Free From Her Troubles, but Finds Better Way.
