master behind a table on the platform now go on everybody is the spelling- class tau-tol- ogy i he yelled to a row of sohohrs before him the spellingclass opened its month as wide as possible and in chorus began to shout out the syllables of tautology oh dear 1 said a boy bob hawkins on the hack seat i cant stndy 1 it was a relief to look out of the window on the great sea pushing a ourrent of amethyst up the oreek near by covering the yellow flits overlaying the strips of black mud along the shores however he said to him self energetic illy i will will btudy so here goes 1 ashe turned back to his books an elbow that ever since ho knew anything had al ways seemed to be in the way struck a big school atlas slam i it went upon the floor whos that howled the master he was a man of fierce energy and had a big head of red hair and when reese biker shook his mane he was terrible whos that he demanded again in his domin ion it was a crime to drop a book upon the fbor the sound oame from the back seats that you bob the schoolmaster was a good shot this time bobs awkward horrid elbow had sent the atlas to the floor and he very well knew it but when the master asked that question popping at him like a rifleshot bb blushed stammered and replied n-n- no sir 1 jjfe the soholars in the neighborhood of bob knew who did it but when reese baker in sisted upon pressing this question any body round there know anything about it not a tongue moved a spell of awe hushed the back seats into silence who dropped that book j shrieked the master his face reddening into a shade like that of his hair up sprang a chubby little girl half down the feminine side of the school- house me tir 1 she piped it was subie buardman the bare foot blue eved child of skipper sam the fisher man she was a kind of pet for bob living near him and sheltered by him behind the folds of his big coat on stormy days me sir 1 she piped again having seen the book as it fell from bobs desk and de termined to shield her favorite the sohool began to laugh sit down you little boobv i oommanded jhe stormy podagogue you are not big euough to lift a book that could make suoh a noiso as that you dont know enough to make a cup of catnip tea this was a phrase ourrent in the neigh borhood and the equivalent of great inca pacity susie felt this cut of the masters words falling like a whiplash she planted her plump brown bands on the desk and in disgrace bowed her head upon them who dropped that book i want to know called out the teacher i did sir i this reply was from tho right quarter there stood bob on his feet his face crim soned but the excitement only lent new beauty to bis features everybody called bob hawkins a hansome boy susie twisted her faoe round and shyly with her moist blue eyes like melting sapphires glanced at bob snch a look of trust and admiration 1 it comforted the boy on the baok seat you did it you said you did not do it how will you explain that contradiction sir pompously asked the master i didnt tell the truth the first time you didnt i why didnt you i dont know sir this was a faot bob did not know why he lied the first time he was liko some other unfortunates who iu one moment of timidity are surprised into a falsehood they are thoroughly ashamed of you may tike the book you dropped go to tho window near tho road and hold that book up so that all going by may see

almost sprung out of her seat in her eagerness to share bobs disgrace and gig- i gling went to the window to watoh the sea and tho clouds and the dusty roads i bob did not giggle ho smarted under tho stroke of that charge of a spot on his i namo if the master had dropped vitriol i on bobs skin the smart could not have been rvorse an hour later bob and susio were going i home together tho schoolmaster went in the largest college in the world is said to the same direction bnt they allowed reese be a mohammedan institution at cairo baker to move on ahead which is credited with 300

my senses left me i dont want him to think i got spot on my name because i intended to i dont bob comfortingly said susie turning her trusting eyes of blue toward mm i dont think you got ft spot hush 1 he answered they were near the creek it was not wide but deep enough at high tide to cover up the tallest grenadier two beams had been itretohed from bank to bank and boards laid cross wise upon them i was a rude structure without any railing but could be safely crossed provided one did not go near the edge hush i said bob again he halted and listened anxiously susie stopped also it came distinctly now ft cry help- ppl somebody is in the creek said bob bounding away he did not say it was reese biker but he thought so and there he was in the creek the water up to his breast- and he was pitifully bawling 1 helpp p bob 1 1 am on a rock he ex citedly screamed tides comingin and i cant swim bob knew what the situation was reese had fallen into the oreek and was standing on a rock that he had readied somehow bob had swam in the creek and knew that if reese should step off from that rook in any direction save that down stream be wonld go over his head mr baker you do as i say and you will come out all right say you take that spot off cried su sle to the schoolmaster stamping her foot susie you keep still said bob mr baker you put your foot off on the side of the rock down stream and you will fiad you can wade there i have been trying to touch bottom on different sides and 1 cant you try where i tell you should the schoolmaster try the bottom of the creek down stream it looked so chilly in that direction tide is coming i warned bob running to the bank nearest the sohoolmaster yes and what if it oovered his breast covered his chin covered his mouth covered him away up to the crown of his head and be yond here give us your hand said bob boldly walking ont the sohoolmaster cripped that proffered hand now bear away to your left directed bob dont be afraid thats it fellow me beese baker was quickly ashore well i am obliged to you bob i was going over the bridge foolishly reading and before i thought over i went thats the way i told that lie oh dont you care for that you have washed that spot off ill make it all right in the morning in sohool beese baker kept his word but susie did not feel that her account with the mat ter was balanced twenty years passed bob hawkins and his handsome wife were entertaining a guest that complained of a slight indisposi tion just try my wifes famous herb tea re commended bob oh gladly said the guest and he readily drank it there i exolaimed the guest better already mr baker said mrs bob youonoe told me in school i oould not make catnip tea what do you think now capital i i take that all back susie hawkins smiled and thought we are even generosity and thrift it is very easy to win a reputation for gen erosity you have only to give waiters railway porters cabmen and crossing sweep er a shiilin where anybody else would give sixpence to make a rood many presents of trifling value and chiefly to persons from whom you hope to get something in return and to take care that the fame of these mag nanimous actions shall be well bruited abroad and your oharacter as a generous whole soul d being is established it is very noble to be liberal but not at other peoples expense the old copybook maxim is a very sound one be just before you are generous if your liberality hinders you from paying what you owe to yourbutoher or your tailor you are not just to him nor it may be added are you really generous but only lavish but avoid meanness and stinginess give away a much as you pleas- the more the better always provided that nobody but yourself suffers by your giving that the person benefited by it is worthy and that it is done without ostentation the truly generous mm is he who denies himself some luxury or better still some necessary in order that he may have where with to give to those who are in need the millionaire with his 40000 a year often gets great praise for his gifts of 1000 20u0 3000 or even 10000 and when bis donations reach a quarter of a million statues are erected to his nemory and pie ins are sung in his praise but in all probability the signing of his big oheok does not entail the sacrifice of the smallest pleasure or the slightest gratification un less he gambles on tho turf or the stock ex change he cannot spend on himself more than a certain not very large annual amount and there i3 therefore no very mirvelou generosity in his handing over the turplus to one or half a dozen charitable organizes tions dr blomfiuld afterwards bishop of lon don began life with a determination to give if possible one fifth of his annual income in oharity when ho became rioh he gave away onethird of his income for charitable purposes daring his tenure of tho feo of london he gave away not much less than 150000 it is an open seoret that mr buskin has stripped himself of the bulk of his fortune that he may teach english artisans to love what is beautiful these are examples of truo generosity there is a close relation between gener osity and thrift tho thrifty man has always a reserve upon which to draw for charitable purposes in benovolence as in business a without being in the least degree stingy can make a shilling go fur ther than bs halfcrown some men have tho knack by a careful adaptation of means to ends of getting or seeming to get a far greater return for their money than others this is a science well worth cultivating what a picture of thrift does good old hugh latimer give in one of his sermons i my father he said had no land of his own but only a farm of three or four pounds a year at the utmost and hereon ho tilled so much as kept half a dozen men he had a walk for an hundred sheep and my mother milked thirty una he kept his son ftt school till he went to the university ftnd maintained him there he married his daughters with fiverxunds or twenty no bles apiece he kept hospitality with his neighbors and some alms he gave to the poor ftnd all this ha did out of the said where boys sad girls marry vthen legal marriages occur in british honduras the parents of the couple make all the arrangements between themselves the tender passion takes early root in the tropics ftnd it is not nncommon to see ft bride ftnd groom both under u years when the boy wants to get married he tells bis mother all about it she talks with the father and if both are willing to accept the girl as their daughter they repair conhe onse of her purenti taking with them a chiquihuite of fowls fruit bread ears of dried corn and strings of peppers they organize a sort of procession 00 posed of tteir relatives and friends headed by a bind of muslo thus publio proclaiming their intention it is good form for the girls mother to politely refuse the first request until she r had time to consult the maiden as to her wishes in the matter and to find out what her own friends may think of it she sends the procession home completely in the dark as to the result of its mission if the answer be irrevocably unfavorable she simply sends back to the parents of the would be lover their basket with contents untouohed if on the contrary she be inolined to entertain their proposals in the course of a week or two she sends to them another chiquihuite filled with similar offer ings bunny littlb srowbs limited powers a mother was correcting her little boy the other day and appealing to him asked how he would feel if he had a son who didnt do this and didnt do that and so 00 when she had reaohed the end of the inquiry he answered well mamma if i had a little boy eight years old i dont think id expect the earth of him the outward indications- the little boy had come in with his
