a horses fet and the urchin proud to be one of Mh ages charges whom she had taken to the country for an outing lIItss Page i and Hartley were separated during a llerco storm which followed the picnic p Out sailing later Van Brunt Hartley Pratt and Hopper were wrecked In a squall CHAPTER V The Cruise of the Dora Bassett After that there wits a kind of tab eau same as them they havo ot church sociables Here was Hartley staring at the young woman and thi young woman staring at him and th boys starIng at bothof emand me star Ing at the three and the crowd around I doing grand double back actloa starIng nt the whole of us Then the part broke up as you might pay Hartley red as a beet now got ur and bowed The young woman got up too and held out her hand In a doubting sort of way But afore he could take It she seemed to remem ber something or charged her mind for she dropped the hank and turned to the boy who was on his feet by this time looking down at the rellci of his clothes And between grease and sand and dirt and rags they matt a ruin that was worth looking at made you think of a rubbish pile wlU a red danger lantern on top You naughty boy says she How could you do so If you know how frightened Miss Talford and I nave r been Are you hurt dear Naw says the dear brisk and disgusted Sure I aint The young woman fidgeted around him petting and poorlng him and pinning him together so to speak Hartley fidgeted too not seeming to havo his bearings at all He acted to me like he wished he was ten thou sand miles away and yet I callato he didnt Mally wish It neither The doctor and Major Phlnney were fuss Ing around and the crowd kept getting bigger and closing in If youll excuso me miss says I Interfering as usual whore twas none of my affairs I think perhaps twould be a good Idea If we went somewhere where twant so popular Maybe wo might go Into one of the rooms at the hall or Bomewheres s Why of course says Hartley grabbing at the notion like twas a rope Id thrown out to him Well go to the hall Ag MIsa Page let me present my friend Mr Solomon PrattSo twas the Page girl after all Id guessed as notch though how she come to be In Eastwlch when shed ought to havo been In Europe was moron I could make out She looked up at mo anti reached out her little hand with a kid glove on It Like wise she smilednet with her mouth alone same as an undertaker meet ¬ ing the relatives of the departed but with her eyes too Twas the right kind of a smile Im vaccinated and not subject to women folks as a rule but rd have done considerable to got a deckload of thorn smiles r- Im very glad to know you Mr Pratt says she just as though she meant it And we shook hands really shook em More I could get over that shako d and smile enough to bo sensible Ma jor Philander shoved her arm into this and headed for the hall Drat his You never could beat that old image when there was a pret ty woman atnund Hartley looked Mod of set back like Then ho takes the boy by the hand and falls into tho majors wake Mo and tho doctor trailed along behind The Doc kept talking about what a bravo thing the TwIns diving under f tho horses was but I didnt hoar more than half of It I was watching tho Page girls hat and thinking how much prettier twas than the ones thefti boarder girls at tho hOtpl wore And yet there want a quarter so many feathers and ribbons and doo dads on it The little chap was chirping up to Hartley all the way What worried him was when ho was going to get his five dollars Martin told him hed t get it all right Hed advance it himself and collect it afterwards Whats your name son T says ho to the youngster Denny says the boy Denny Dennis you mean Den nls whatAw dont know Plain Denny I guess Where do you live la New York Over around Cherry street most of tho tlmo Me and tho old man used to hang out in the back room of Mike Donahues place on Mott street till ho got sent up Then I got to sollln JIIlpehand doln iTl s and things Sum limes Id take a shy at the News boys Home nights Thats whero Miss Agony Miss Page I mean found me Im ono of tho Fresh Air kids over to- bur > Jacq t J Many more like you over there Sure I nine or ton of us girls

Shouldnt wonder Do you your tea her7 Bet your life Shes a peach Sos tho other ono Miss Talford her name Is I Humph What do they call you over on true cast sldo when youroat homo Redny says tho little shaver Hartley looked down at him and smiled one of his quiet grins Bully for you Ilcdny says he Youre a brick We got through tho crowd and Into the hall finally Shutting time door was a Job The folks outside seemed to think theyd been cheated Id like to have got rid of Philander but you couldnt do that without a block and tacklo ho stuck to Miss Paso like a kedge anchor to mud bottom The doctor was putting a strip of sticking plaster on Hartleys forehead Tho cut Want nothing but a scratch Im glad to say After a spell I see my chance and I cornered the major and commenced to talk politics Ho was hankering for the county representative nomination and I know hits soft pot Hartley and tho Paso girl got together then but they didnt seem to kaiow what to say I heard her explaining that she hadnt gone to Europe at all f Her ma had been took sick nothing to speak of I Judgedvj11 of nerves or the like of that So Agnes and her chum thlg Margaret Talford had een the chance theyd been waiting for and had got their poor children tribe to ¬ gether and ceme down ijnd took tl > o Lathrop place at South Kastwlcli Seems Miss Talford had hired It afore Intending to go to the Fresh Air vyago alone longs she couldnt got Agnes to go It with her But how Is it that youre here says she J thought you were at the mountainsHartley explained that of the last moment ho had decided to try thjj seashore He was at Wellmouth fur the present he said But you should have known I was here she says I wrote toto Ed of course before I loft the city Oh I see I Sent the letter to your Adl ¬ rondack address But It should have been forwarded Hartloy stammered a little but ho said quiet that ho was afraid perhaps Van Brunt hadnt thought to send word to have his mall forwarded- I see she says Thats like Ed Martin seemed to think twas tQo but all ho said was lies written you very faithfully His letters of course have gone to Liverpool Well that was about all We had to be going I said goodby and we started for the door Miss Page cnine over and held out her hand Mr Hartley says she I want to thank you for saving Dennis Major Phlnney told me about it It was brave And Im glad that youre not hurt x She was pretty nervous but a good dual less flustered than ho was when he took her hand It was nothing of course he says hurried Hko That youngster vat worth picking up Good morning Miss Page He stopped a second to say some thing about Van Brunt no doubt com ¬ ing over to see her In a day or SO And then we left tho hall and headed for tho street Wo walked along protty brisk for a ways neither of us saying much of anything Whatever there was I ealIate 1 said Uy and by we comg to tho railroad crossing And here Hart ley stops short Sol says he I believe Ill go back by train I dont feel like a sea trip this afternoon Thotcrtbnt crack on the head has shaken me up some I guess Explain to Van will you Tell him Im all right but that Ive got a little headache Under- stand I presumed likely that I understood mare paybe that ho thought I did Headache Is a fair to middling excuso but I Judged thoro was other things Id scon them two look at each other when they met andwell they say a nods as good as a wink to a blind horse and I aint blind I made a sort of note in my mind to get the pumps to working again on Lord James next time I got a chanco at him alone Hartley left mo and went over to tho railroad depot and I kept on down tho poad to the shore I was loafing along going over to myself tho doings of the afternoon and won dering what Van Brunt would say and so OB when I como out Into the clear placo at the top of Meeting House hill And tho meeting house clock struck fourI junjpcd IHtp Id set down on a hot stovo I hahnt no Idea It was as late as that The pig and tho Page girl and the rest of tho mixup hall put all notion of time out of my head I yanked out my watch to mako suro that that clock was right and then I glanced at the sky Over torti- le eastard a big fat gray fog bank was piling up Twas high water at two Eastwlch Port covo is a nasty place to got out of at low tide and here was an easterly fog coming As a general thing I dont take any bodys wash when it comes to

    the urchin proud to be one of Mhages charges whom she had taken tothe country for an outing lIItss Page

    i and Hartley were separated during allerco storm which followed the picnic

    p Out sailing later Van Brunt HartleyPratt and Hopper were wrecked In asquall

    CHAPTER VThe Cruise of the Dora BassettAfter that there wits a kind of tab

    eau same as them they havo otchurch sociables Here was Hartleystaring at the young woman and thiyoung woman staring at him and thboys starIng at bothof emand me starIng at the three and the crowd around

    I doing grand double back actloa starIngnt the whole of us Then the partbroke up as you might pay

    Hartley red as a beet now got urand bowed The young woman gotup too and held out her hand In adoubting sort of way But afore hecould take It she seemed to remember something or charged her mindfor she dropped the hank and turnedto the boy who was on his feet bythis time looking down at the rellciof his clothes And between greaseand sand and dirt and rags they matta ruin that was worth looking atmade you think of a rubbish pile wlUa red danger lantern on top

    You naughty boy says she Howcould you do so If you know howfrightened Miss Talford and I naver been Are you hurt dear

    Naw says the dear brisk anddisgusted Sure I aint

    The young woman fidgeted aroundhim petting and poorlng him andpinning him together so to speakHartley fidgeted too not seeming tohavo his bearings at all He actedto me like he wished he was ten thousand miles away and yet I callato hedidnt Mally wish It neither Thedoctor and Major Phlnney were fussIng around and the crowd kept gettingbigger and closing in

    If youll excuso me miss says IInterfering as usual whore twas noneof my affairs I think perhaps twouldbe a good Idea If we went somewherewhere twant so popular Maybe womight go Into one of the rooms atthe hall or Bomewheres

    s Why of course says Hartleygrabbing at the notion like twas arope Id thrown out to him Wellgo to the hall Ag MIsa Page letme present my friend Mr SolomonPrattSo twas the Page girl after allId guessed as notch though how shecome to be In Eastwlch when shedought to havo been In Europe wasmoron I could make out She lookedup at mo anti reached out her littlehand with a kid glove on It Likewise she smilednet with her mouthalone same as an undertaker meet ¬ing the relatives of the departed butwith her eyes too Twas the rightkind of a smile Im vaccinated andnot subject to women folks as a rulebut rd have done considerable to gota deckload of thorn smiles r-

    Im very glad to know you MrPratt says she just as though shemeant it And we shook handsreally shook em

    More I could get over that shakod and smile enough to bo sensible Ma

    jor Philander shoved her arm intothis and headed for the hall Drat hisYou never could beatthat old image when there was a pretty woman atnund Hartley lookedMod of set back like Then ho takesthe boy by the hand and falls into thomajors wake Mo and tho doctortrailed along behind

    The Doc kept talking about whata bravo thing the TwIns diving under

    f tho horses was but I didnt hoar morethan half of It I was watching thoPage girls hat and thinking howmuch prettier twas than the onesthefti boarder girls at tho hOtpl woreAnd yet there want a quarter somany feathers and ribbons and doodads on it

    The little chap was chirping up toHartley all the way What worriedhim was when ho was going to gethis five dollars Martin told him hed

    Redny says tho little shaverHartley looked down at him and

    smiled one of his quiet grinsBully for you Ilcdny says he

    Youre a brickWe got through tho crowd and Into

    the hall finally Shutting time doorwas a Job The folks outside seemedto think theyd been cheated Id liketo have got rid of Philander but you

    couldnt do that without a block andtacklo ho stuck to Miss Paso like akedge anchor to mud bottom Thedoctor was putting a strip of stickingplaster on Hartleys forehead Thocut Want nothing but a scratch Imglad to say

    After a spell I see my chance andI cornered the major and commencedto talk politics Ho was hankering forthe county representative nominationand I know hits soft pot Hartley andtho Paso girl got together then butthey didnt seem to kaiow what to say

    I heard her explaining that shehadnt gone to Europe at all f Her mahad been took sick nothing to speakof I Judgedvj11 of nerves or thelike of that So Agnes and her chumthlg Margaret Talford had een thechance theyd been waiting for andhad got their poor children tribe to ¬gether and ceme down ijnd took tl> oLathrop place at South KastwlcliSeems Miss Talford had hired It aforeIntending to go to the Fresh Airvyago alone longs she couldnt gotAgnes to go It with her

    But how Is it that youre heresays she J thought you were at the

    mountainsHartleyexplained that of the last

    moment ho had decided to try thjjseashore He was at Wellmouth furthe present he said

    But you should have known I washere she says I wrote toto Edof course before I loft the city OhI see I Sent the letter to your Adl ¬rondack address But It should havebeen forwarded

    Hartloy stammered a little but hosaid quiet that ho was afraid perhapsVan Brunt hadnt thought to sendword to have his mall forwarded-

    I see she says Thats like EdMartin seemed to think twas tQo

    but all ho said was lies written youvery faithfully His letters of coursehave gone to Liverpool

    Well that was about all We hadto be going I said goodby and westarted for the door Miss Page cnineover and held out her hand

    Mr Hartley says she I want tothank you for saving Dennis MajorPhlnney told me about it It wasbrave And Im glad that youre nothurt x

    She was pretty nervous but a gooddual less flustered than ho was whenhe took her hand

    It was nothing of course he says

    hurried Hko That youngster vatworth picking up Good morningMiss Page

    He stopped a second to say something about Van Brunt no doubt com ¬ing over to see her In a day or SOAnd then we left tho hall and headedfor tho street

    Wo walked along protty brisk for aways neither of us saying much ofanything Whatever there was IealIate 1 said Uy and by we comg totho railroad crossing And here Hartley stops short

    Sol says he I believe Ill goback by train I dont feel like a seatrip this afternoon Thotcrtbntcrack on the head has shaken me upsome I guess Explain to Van willyou Tell him Im all right but thatIve got a little headache Under-stand

    I presumed likely that I understoodmare paybe that ho thought I did

    Hartley left mo and went over totho railroad depot and I kept ondown tho poad to the shore I wasloafing along going over to myselftho doings of the afternoon and wondering what Van Brunt would say andso OB when I como out Into the clearplaco at the top of Meeting House hillAnd tho meeting house clock struckfourI junjpcd IHtp Id set down on ahot stovo I hahnt no Idea It was aslate as that The pig and tho Pagegirl and the rest of tho mixup hall putall notion of time out of my head Iyanked out my watch to mako surothat that clock was right and thenI glanced at the sky Over torti-
