CHAPTER X.
On tlie' following morning, when ,
Tad, having opened his eyes to the
glad sunlight which' streamed in at the
east window, of his little room, began
to, pull his- drowsy ideas together, he
remembered. that it was Sunday.
"They'll want me to go to churjeh,
Rnd I don' t look decent," thought Tad,
disconsolately, with a glance in the di
rection of the chair where he had
placed his " threadbare clothing the
night before. ' . - . . ;
; But what jwai this? ' A partly worn
Buitof serrlceable tweed cloth the"
very counterpart of that in which Joe
Whitney was arrayed when fie prang
aboard the j'Mary J.," hung over the
chair-back. And that was riot all. In
the chair itself lay all the other essen
jtials of a boy'g toilet neatly folded,

"Poh, that's all right," returned Joe,
shrugging his shoulders carelesslyf"and
a whispered conversation ensued, which .
was only checked by the entrance of'
: the minister; whereat Joe, duly admon
ished by a poke of his sister's fan, and
a glance of mild rebuke from the dea
con, subsided into - a temporary atten
tion, with bis hands being plunged
deeply into--bis pockets and his eyes
' fixed steadfastly upon good Mr. Allen.
But, I am sorry to -say, Joe's thoughts-
i were by no means in keeping with the
place. ; He was cherishing, and , even
planning, a dire revenge on, uncon
scious Samantha' Nason who sat di-

Scarcely able to believe the evipenoe
of his astonished eyes, ;; Tad slipped out
of bed and proceeded to inrestlgate
On the top of the pile was a bit of pa
per,! whereon, in an irregular, boyish
scrawl, were1 written the words: "to Pay

ney" ' '.- I . '' '
After Tadj had gone to bed on the
previous evening, Mrs. Flagg flipped
over to Dekcon Whitney's, - and ably
seconded by the special pleadings of
Joe, succeeded in enlisting the full sym
pathies of the family in behalf of shabbily-dressed!
Tad. Joe's wardrobe was
overhauled, ! and a selection made," re
sulting in thV surprise to Tad which I
have mentioned, v v i-
W-ell, he's what! call a nice-look-
mg boy, " was Jiirs. Jt lagg s inwara
comment, as Tad, with hair neatly
combed and face and - hands scrubbed
till they fairly shone, came shyly down
stairs dressed in his new suit.
Polly smiled upon him approvingly;
the Captain remarked that he . didn't
know about taking such a dandified-
lookrng chap to church along of 6uch
plain-dressed folks as the Flagg family;
and Mrs. Flagg gave him " a motherly
kiss.
"That's so much like Joe,' laughed
Polly, as the display of the paper which
Tad had found with his little gift
necessitated an explanation of Joe's
previous performances. .
' f'Alwaysl remember. Tad," conn-
elled the Captain, with, a grave shake
f the head, as they sat down to the
able together, 'what Solomon says
bout a wise scin makin a glad fattier
and and be that is not " warned
ereby is not wise." concluded Captain
Flagg, who was sometimes a little hazy
in the corrfectness of his quotations.-
After .breakfast, the Captain read
chapter from the New Testament aloud,
pew for wnat he called ner "tattling
of the previous day. '.: . ;
The service proceeded in the goo3"
old-fashioned way peculiar tocountry
churches. All denominations wor-i
shipped under the game roof, and Mr. '
Allen's words were but a plain ano
simple' talk about the lessons taught by
One who once walked upon earth; and !
spake as never man spake. .:s There was
very much in it that Tad perfectly un
derstood, and, as he listened, a dim de
sire to fashion his young life after the
teachings of the great Master began to
take form in his mind. True, it ' was
sniy embodied in the simple thought,
"I'll try to be a better boyr" yet from
moh beeinninffs oftentimes comes the'
real success of av true Christian life.
ind when the sermon closed Tad felt
that he should never be tired of listen
ing to a minister who made things as
plain as did Mir. Alien.
- Now, it was Samantha Nason's invar
riable habit to sit through the singing,
while the others rose. "I work hard ;
all the week, andTm ' going te make
Sunday my day of rest," said Saman- .
tha onoe, a little defiantly, Van' 1 guess
can worship the Lord as well settin
down as standin'- cp." " -
As the closinp- hvmn was being sung,
Tad noticed that Joe, who all through
the service had kept his right hand
persistently in his pocket, -slowly with
drew it, though without, removing his
eyes from the pages of the hymn-book,
and, seemingly holding something in
bis grasp, slipped his closed hand gently
along on the ledge of the pew before
him, till it was in "close proximity to
the back of Miss Nason s neck. Then
he stole a sly glance in the direction of
his father and mother, yrho were too
intent upon following the words of the
hymn (in which their daughter Nellie's
voice uprose as clear and sweet as the
notes of a woodland bird) to'notice the
movements of their son. Slowly. Joe s
fingers unclosed, and after a moment
his hand stole back to a place beside its
fellow.
"Now what is. he up to!" thought
Tad, warned by-tb-lMuiowyri an
Joe's features. : And, following -the
have in common with himself.
i"Come into the bouse after you get
through weeding, Tad; 1 want you,"
said Miss Smith, stalking past the una-
bashed Mr. Forrest,; who sat quite at
his ease, with the ivory head of his cane
pearance of Miss Smith, who cende

which, ; taken in, connection! with the

Tdd silently continued" his work, wish-
I I
ing that Mr. : Forrest would sro, for he
wis very well aware that Miss Smith
did not at all approve of the gentle
man'a frequent visitations.
In a small village like Bixport, where
everj body's business is ' publio prop
erty, the story of Tad and his traveling
sabhel was generally known, aa was
also the f aot that no attention had ever
been paid to Captain Flagg's advertise- j
ment. So it was not strange that Mr,
Forrest should be in possession of the
same knowledge. He had referred to
the matter casually in conversation
with Tad, declaring that it was a mighty
interesting incident in real life come.

rest, after a short pause..
"Why, no,' sir! I haven't a key
and, if I had, I don't think It would be
jist the thing, either," replied Tad, 'a
little surprised at the unexpected ques-;
tion. ' .';
J "Oh, I don't know," remarked Mr.
Forrest, coolly; "there might be some
thing: in it that would give you a clew
to the real owner." l.r fi ,
i "That's true,'.' murmured Tad, who
had never thought of this before.

the impression he had made. - -
j "But 1 couldn't without breaking the
lock, and I should not like to do that,"
Tad answered, with a perplexed look.
j, "1 suppose you keep it in your pos
session?" inquired Mr. Forrest, care
lessly; and Tad nodded.- Then, why
.not bring the bag over to my room this
evening I dare say some of my keys

direction of his friend's eyes, Tad's un
spoken question was answered. Clumsl
ly clambering over the back' of the
prim ruffle about Miss Nason's neck
was a brown wood-beetle, as big as
the end of Tad's little finger. But be
fore he could decide what to do Miss
Nason bounced to .her feet with a stifled
exclamation, and clutched frantically
at her back hair. Unfortunately she
caught hold of the f innocent beetle it-!

scream that made the rafters of the
house ring, she threw it; violently from1
her, to - the great consternation ol
every one in the house, many of whom
imagined Miss Nason had discovered a
mouse in the pew. v- '
Mr. Allen pronounced the benedic
tion and ' -dismissed his congregation.
And naughty Joe Whitney, holding his
cap. before his face, choked and gasped,
in the agonies of suppressed laughter,
all the way to the door. .. " - ; .

CHAPTER 3TX :-
Th rtrnmisa i of Aoril t had ' eivcn
place to the fulfillments ol June,'fming
the air with summer 6unshine and
beauty. Tad, under the supervision oi
Miss Smith, whose angular feature?
were shaded by an immense garden-
hat, was weeding the pansy-bed m the
front yard. Miss Smith, .who was
great flower-lover, made somewhat o
a specialty of . cultivating sweet-peaa
and pahsies, " which she gave away in
their season with a liberal hand.
You would hardly have recognized
Tad in the brown-faced boy, in blue
overalls, bending lovingly over the
quaint, upturned flower-faces that
neered into his own. He had taken to
his new vocation with surprising read- j
iness, and Miss Smith secretly congrat
ulated herself on having at last found .
a boy after her own heart, though she
seldom allowed her satisfaction to show
itself in the' form of words, v
t "Hero comes , that Forrest chap
again," muttered Miss Smith, discon
tentedly, as she glanced toward an
elaborately-dressed young man' who
was sauntering along the elnshaded
street; "Iwish he'd kept , away about
his own business, and not come idling
round; taking your attention otrn your
work.";;, -.tte:-,?!! .
For Mr. Paul Forrest was one of John
Doty'8 city boarders, who had scraped
an acquaintance with Tad very soon
after, coming to Jsixport. He seemed
to take a singula interest , in Tad,
wlnehras he expaKied to Miss Smith,
arose' from the; boy's strong "resem
blance to his youngest and only brother,
fwho had died a year previous "the
last one, excepting myself r of a family
of seven," he said, with j'a sad smile.
For Mr. 'Forrest did a great, deal of
smiling, first and last; and, curious
enough. Tad, in some , vague way, was
reminded, by it of -the genial Mr. Jones,
whom he had met in Boston, before
coming to Bixport. Of course, this
was ' simply an absurd fancy on bis
part. The fraudulent' "Jones' was ' a
smooth-faced young man", ! with gold
tipped , teeth while Mr Paul, Forrest
'sported a very "glossy ; black mustache,
that had a purplish tinge in certain
lights, and the whitest and most even
teeth that were -ever ' 6een "outside a
dentist's establishment; neither'was the
little blueish scar - visible upon Mr.
Forest's white forehead, that Tad had
noticed upon the intellectual brow , of
Jones. 'Yet; all the same, he often 'un-
"I'll think about t, sir," replied Tad,
(Cautiously, for he was not quite sure
that it would bo just the right thing to
do; and,' moreover, he wanted to ask
"he advise of Miss Smith, in whose
good judgment Tad had the firmest con
fidence, before taking any such decisive
Step. "' ' " -
I "If there had been any thing oimuch

watching Tad closely, ' "the ownei

Shouldn't be any the wiser for that,
jdown here in Bixport, for about the
(only city papers that come here are the
Congregattoncuist and.the.Aet0 Englana
Farmer." .:.-? V
"By George!" 6aid Mr. Forrest, with
a gay laugh, "my curiosity is consider-
jahly excited by that mysterious sachel.
Look here.'Tadf ' he continued, with
an extravagant display of teeth, Tm

saw, and I'll tell you what ril do. TU

the bag without seeing it unknown
contents and all; what do you say P"
"Couldn't think' of it, sirr Tad re-
plied, quietly.
"Fifteen? Well," he continued, gay-
ly, as Tad shook his head resolutely,
"what wul you taker Twenty? Twenty
five?"
'Why, it isnt mine to sell, sir,".waa
the same grave Jreply,; and Mr. Forrest
muttered something under " bis mus
tache in reference to "an obstinate
young f ooh" which Tad did not quite
catch.
Turther conversation on the subject
was prevented- by the sudden appear
ance of Polly Flagg, accompanied by
Joe Whitney, on her way to school.
Polly, who was a special favorite with
Miss Smith, had permission to pick all
the flowers she wanted. , So, with a
smile and nod to Tad, she began cull
ing a little bouquet of purple pansiea
for Miss Burbank, her teacher; while
Joe, with one hand in his pocket, calm
ly munched a huge - winter Baldwin,
which he held in the other. !. ,
"Have a bite, Mr. Forrest," asked
Joe, advancing the unbitten side
of the apple, with easy familiarity,
To please the youth Mr. Forrest con
descendingly and unthinkingly, set his
teeth in a portion of the tempting fruit.
Joe jerked away his hand suddenly, lor

ludgment. But the Captain was away
on a coasting trip; so the matter had

the ! disappointment of Miss Smith,
whose secret curiosity as to the con
tents of the baar had something to da
with her suesrestion. -
SoJ wheu Tad again saw Mr. Forrest,
he told him that he guessed he
wouldn't do any thing about opening
the sachel, for awhile longer, at least
perhaps he might see it advertised, in
some of the city papers yet, II he coma
only get hold of the right one. .
. MrJ Forrest smiled unpleasantly, an4
said; rather sneerin,rly, that As had
kept run, of ' the city papers as con
stantly as most people, and, to his cor
taih knowledge, no such advertisement

And yet, in spite of the gentleman1
