CHAPTER VII.

"Mr. Allen, our minister, took that verse from a p:ijpr, ami had it out on the stone—isn't it beautiful!" softly said Tolly. "Yes, indeed," returned Tad, considerably liewildered, "only I don't see what it has to do with you." "Wait! 1 am iroin^' to tell you all about, it," his companion responded. But she sat for a moment or two without speaking, resting her chin in tlio hollow of Iter small hand, and her dark eyes looking far oil'seaward. Through the hushed stillness, the distant voico of the ocean came to their ears, sounding soft and low, like the imprisoned echoes that one hears in a sea-shell. "It was in the great gale of "62. when fifteen vessels and a hundred and twenty men were lost on 'George's liunks.' said Polly, abruptly. "Tho •Pomerania' drove ashore on some reefs at the mouth of the river, near where the litrht-house stands now. A fisherman came up to liixport. and told people about it. Kvery body—tho men, 1 mean—got down to the point as soon as they could. There wasn't any life-boat, and they say the sea was something awful, lint there was a whaleboat that belonged to Georgp

Hudson, ami so Captain Flagg got live fishermen to go oil' with him in it, though nobody thought they could ever get through the surf line. Hut they did, and just managed to reach tho steamer as she was breaking up. Tho poor people were the water crying, and"

Here Polly stopped a moment and caught her breath, while Tad felt a curious lump rising in his throat. He touched Polly's small hand with his own rough one in mute sympathy, but, frightened at his boldness, drew it hastily away, and after a little she Went im: "The men pulled four into the boat, then," said Polly, in a hushed awestruck voice, "a lady—a beautiful lady with a little baby in her arms, was driftin-r by. Captain Flagg reached out for li r. but she said 'my baby first.' and held it right up in both hands so he couldn't help catching hold of it. Then a great sea swept the lady iiway. A piece of the wreck broke a hole in the boat's side." continued Polly, steadying her voice witk

the baby—that .was me—-home to his wife. Ever and ever s() many .bodies drifted ashore," said Polly, with a little shudder, "ami the beautiful lady among them. Some of the passengers had seen her with her husband and babv on hoard the steamer, bus no one of the saved people knew their names. Lots of folks who had friends and relations on the "Pomerania" came on to liixport and took the bodies away but nobody recognized the beautiful lady, so Captain Flagg had her buried here, ami this stone put up. There was a ring on her wedding linger, that 1 always wear on a little chain round my neck."—and Polly touched tho front of her simple linen collar, "with 'Pauline' engraved inside, so Captain Flagg named mv the same—that's why they eall lue 'Polly.'

Then the beautiful lady was your mother, ami you the little baby!" breathlessly cried Tad.

Polly nodded gravely, and again the fatSftwny look came into her eyes, as they rested on tile grassy mound at her feet. Hut soon the practical side of her nature asserted itself. "Come, Tad," she said, rising to her feet, "it's getting pretty near suppertime, and 1 must help Mother Flagg— she's got doughnuts to fry." So tho two made their way out of tho old church-yard, and entered tho home gato at the same time a.s Captain Flagg, who, with radiant face, was just returning from his interview with Miss Smith. "You're to go over there in the morning. Tad," said the Captain, after disclosing to him the nature of his own errand to the house of the maiden lady in question, "and if she likes the cut of your jib she'll hire you on trial for a spell, at two dollars a week and board—what do you say to that?"

For a moment or two Tad could say nothing whatever the prospect of earning such a sum at the very ouset, fairly

took away his breath. More tliau a hundred dollars a year, and board beside! Why, iti would not he so very long, at that rate, before he should bo able to buy himself the little homo of his dreams.

Well, didn't yon hear what I said? 'pears to me you're dretful deef!" observed the Captain, a little sharply, thinking perhaps that Tad's silence arose from a disinclination to accept the offer which he. Captain Flagg, knew was a most favorable one.

Who's that's so dretful deef—Tad?" interposed a familiar voice, before Tad could frame a reply. The speaker was no other than Joe Whitney, who, scenting tho. odor of frying doughnuts in passing, had come in for a possible share of the spoils, just in time to hear his uncle's remark. "Deef as a haddock," grumbled tho Captain, irritably, "and dumb into tho bargain, anybody'd think for hero I've as good as got him a berth to Miss Smith's, and he's to go over there fust thing iu the morning for a kind of overhaulm'. but when 1 tell him, he never so much as says whether he's glad or sorry—don't say nothin'.in fact." And here, as the Captain paused for breath, astonished Tad had at last a chance to explain himself. "Indeed, sir," exclaimed the boy, with sparkling eyes and eager speech, "it's only because that I'm so glad and so—so—every thing," said Tad, unable to frame his gratitude, "that I can't say what I want to."

The Captain, who saw his mistake, was instantly appeased. He patted Tad on the shoulder in the most friendly manner imaginable, and after clearing his throat told him in a low tone that Solomon hit the nail square on tho head when he said that there's a Providence that shapesour ends, refuse them as much, -L.- we've a mind to, and then, remembering that the small saehel was still in Tad's possession, he got together his writing materials, and, with the help of the "liiisiness Man's Assistant" and "Kvery Man His Own Lawyer," drew up the following notice for publication:

To All Whom tt May Concern: "B« it known thai on the evening of March 1ST—, certain party left on a seat in the ltroad Street Station, city ot Philadelphia, a hanil-tmg supposed to contain valuables. Now, therefore, if said party shall at tho time ol reading this notification, or as soon thereafterward as may be possible, communicate by totter with the subscriber, describing said bag, together with such other information as shall satisfy the subscriber aforesaid that said respondent is the true and lawful owner thoreof, the hand-bap before mentioned will bo duly returned on the payment of the sum of tlve dollars, to cover expenses of advertising, etc. (Signed I CAPTAIN JETIIUO FLAGG,

Residence. Hixpor'., State of Maine." Having finished this rather remarkable production. Captain Flagg read it aloud for the edification of Tad and Joe Whitney, who had just returned from the kitchen. "Tain't the way J'rf put it. Uncle Jeth," remarked the irrepressible Joe, with his mouth full of doughnut and a suspicious bunchiness about his pockets, as Captain Flagg laid down the paper with a look of conscious -pride. "I'd just say: 'Found in Broad Street station. Philadelphia, on such-ana-Mien a night, a hanl-lag. Prove Property and pay charges. Address Captain .Jetliro Flagg, liixport, Maine.'

Captain Flagg regarded his audacious nephew with a look in which mild indignation was blended with pity. "Mebbe you would. .Joseph," he said, with some severity, "mebbe you would: but, eonsiderin' that I'm jest a few years older'n yon, I've took the liberty of iloin' this my own way." "All right. Uncle Jeth." returned the unabashed youth, "if you don't uiind. 1 don't. I'm sure. Say, Tad," he. remarked, briskly, turning to the secretly amused youth, "liow'd you like me to go over to Miss Smith's in the morning and speak a good word for you. eh?" "I'd like you to go with me ever so much," warmly replied Tad. He did not rely much upon Joe's verbal recommendation. but he had a sort oi feeling that the moral support of his presence would be a great deal "I'll call for you right, after breakfast," briellv returned Joe, with a twinkle in the eye, that, had Polly been present, she would have understood at once to mean mischief. But she was helping Mrs. Flagg with supper preparations, and the Captain was busy sending off the copies of his notice tc a couple of city papers, so Tad had no warning as to Joe Whitney's love of practical jokes. And all the way home

Joe choked down certain little twinges of conscience, by representing to himself that it was "only a little fun, anyway," an excuse which I fancy has been common to mischievous youth from the fabled stoning of tho frogs down to the present day.

Miss Smith was "shooing" some hens out of her yard as Joe came by tho house, and he at once volunteered his services with marked success. Sending the last hen shrieking across tho street with a stick following closely at her tail-feathers, Joe closed the gate carefully. "Oh, I say, Miss Smith," ho remarked, as he was turning away, "I told Tad—the boy that Uncle Jeth* brought homo this trip—that I'd como over with him in the morning—he's 6ort of bashful with strangers." "Xobody'd accuse you at any thing of tho kind, Joe Whitney," was Miss Smith's uncompromising answer. Sho was tall, thin, angular and forty, with a g09d heart, but rather uncertain temper. And .Joo was not a prime favorite with Miss Smith, by reason of his rather peculiar tendencies to mischief. "Tad's a real good boy, I guess, said Joe, ignoring the personality, "but if lie's as hard of hearin' as Uncle

without waiting to bo questioned farther, Joo scudded homeward. True to his promise, Joe was on hand bright and early on tho following morning. Captain Flagg had gone down to superintend the discharge of the "Mary J.'s" cargo, and Mrs. Flagg was in the kitchen. Only Polly and Bounce followed tho two boys to tho gate.

Remember, now! no tricks—Joo," called out Polly, warningly "good luck to you Tad," and she waved her hand encouragingly,- as the latter turned with a very full heart, to look back at the old homo whose occupants had given him so friendly a reception.

Oh, isn't this nice!" said Tail, enthusiastically, as ho drew in a great breath of the sweet, pure air, and looked at the quiet beauty of the landscapes about him. Behind the village rose a range of spruce and pine covered hills. All round were fertilo farms, and, in the eyes of the city-bred hoy, liixport. and its surroundings seemed a sort of miniature Paradise. "Not so bad," patronizingly assented his companion. And as they crossed a small stone bridge which spanned a deep narrow stream, Joo stopped and peeped scrutinizingly over the rail, at the dark current below. "I guess the water's warm enough to try the trout—to-morrow's Saturday. and if Miss Smith'll let you off in the afternoon—if she hires you—what do you say if we go trouting?"

Jeth

says—for I heard him say Tad was deef as a haddock—you'll have to holler like old boots to make him hear." And,

Say! What would any boy say to such a proposition—-particularly a boy who had never before been outside city walls? "liut may be Miss Smith won't hire me," suggested Tad, a little anxiously, after having expressed a rapturous readiness to accompany his newlymade friend i.n a trouting tramp, or anywhere else that Joe might suggest. "No trouble about, that!" Joe replied, confidently: "she'd take anybody Uncle Jeth recommended. You know she's hard of hearing?" ho added, carelessly.

No, Tad did not know it. "Fact!" said Joe, with a nod: "and if I was you, I'd speak up good and loud, so's to let her see that you've got a voice of your own. The, louder you holler, the better she'll like you," he added, with a slight twinge of his not over-sensitive conscience. For though it was true that Miss Smith was undeniably hard of hearing in her right ear, persons speaking a little abovo their ordinary tone had no particular difficulty in making themselves heard.

Tad resolved that if this was the case, he would place himself without delay on the topmost round of Miss Smith's affections: and little more was id, as they had now arrived at their new place of dc.-tinaiioii.

Miss Smith's house was a high, square-roofed building, sadly in need of painting, standing a little back from the road. It had one immense chimney at the very apex of the roof, and a low, old-fashioned piazza on the western front. Two great elm-trees bent protectingly over it, an orchard of gnarled apple-trees was iu the rear, the vegetable garden at one side, and a small yard in front, where, as the two boys entered the gate, Miss Smith herself was raking away the dead leaves from a bed of upspringing crocuses.

At their approach Miss Smith threw her sun-bonnet back, and, straighteni'»I U] the rake-handle, stood stiflly erect, clasping it between her gloved hands—something like the manner of a sentinel with his niu.-kct when not on active duty—as she stared very hard at Tad. whose heart was beating furiously. "So this is the boy." she said, iu an uncompromising sort of voice—her remark seemingly addressed to herself— "humph!"

This was by no means encouraging, and Tad's hopes went down below zero with considerable rapidity. Joe stood a little at one side, with a shadowy look of expectancy on his freckled face. llow old are you. Tad?" suddenly shrieked Miss Smith, with such unexpected energy that mechanically Tad clapped his lmnds to his ears. 'Fourteen- my fifteenth year! shouted Tad, whose face became quite crimson through the exertion. So did Joe's, but from a different cause.

VM

Ai/l

FOURTEEN, IN MV FIFTEENTH," SIIOCTELL TAD. Miss Smith started back ly"Mercy on est" she exclaimed. "Wrhy don't you speak a little louder!" she added, in a sarcastic sort of roar. "I saiu fourteen, marra—in my fifteenth year!" Tad yelled, with tho full power of his lungs for, unfortunately, ho took her ironical suggestion in perfect good-faith.

Miss Smith dropped the rake-handlc, and sat down on tho piazza steps. Joe, whoes face was of a lively purple which extended to his car-tips, began to edge toward the gate. "You won't do, boy," screamed Miss Smith, so shrilly that John Doty, who was plowing in an adjoining field, stopped his oxen and looked wonderingly across at tho "old Smith place," as it was locally called, while Samantha Nason, Miss Smith's "hired help," rushed bare-armed from the

kitchen, with a vague impression that Miss Smith was in hysterics. "1 can't hire any one as deaf as you are, and run the risk of breaking a blood-vessel hollering to you," continued Miss Smith in the same high key, as Tad stood confounded and despondent at her abrupt'refusal "hesides, i'jn not so hard of hearing as all that comes to, and your voice goes through my head like a knife—vah-h-h!" with which concluding ejaculation Miss Smith put her hands to the sides of her pasteboard sun-bonnet and shuddered. "Why. 1 ain't deaf, inarm!" wonderingly exclaimed Tad, dropping his voice several octaves, "and 1 wouldn't have spoke so loud only Joe said you was hard of hearing, an' if he was me he'd speak up good and loud."

Joe could stand it no longer. With an explosive yell of laughter he dodged through the gate, and. dropping in the green sward, at a safe distance, doubled himself up in an ecstasy of unseemly mirth. "Joe Whitney!" gasped Miss Smith, starting to her feet and shaking her finger threateni'ig in tho direction of the prostrate practical joker, as the truth of the matter Hashed across her mind, "you see if your father don't hear of this, sir!"

But her indignation was always short lived, and gradually a grim smile softened the hard lines of her face though the overshadowing head-gear hid it from Tad's anxious gaze. "And so you want place, eh?" sho said, abruptly, but not unkindly, as ?he turned her sharp gray eyes full upon Tad. who was looking reproachfully at Joe as, having risen, he cautiously advanced within earshot. "If you please, inarm," was tho respectful answer, and Tad looked pleadingly up at the maiden lady as ho spoke. Something in his thin, pale face moved Miss Smith's heart curiously.

The boys who had worked for her from time to time had generally been unintelligent, brown-faced boys, with large appetites and a teneney to idle away as much time as they possibly could. "He's got a look I kind of like, though he is a pindling sort of a boy thought Miss Smith, rubbing her nose reflectively."Don't you dare enter that gate, Joseph Whitney!" she exclaimed, with sudden energy, as Joe, with traces of his roo"nt mirth on his features, edged liimso.. along the front fence. "No, marni," responded Joe, in voice suggestive of the deepest colitri tion. Affecting to be overcome with remorseful sorrow, he appled a small red-boardercd cotton handkerchief to his eyes, and sobbed hysterically, after which, twisting it between his fingers, he feigned to wring tears of bitter grief from its folds.

Turning her back upon the arch (lis semblur, Miss Smith procueded to put Tad through a rapid course of questioning. Did he smoke or swear? Had ho been vaccinated? Were his father and mother living? Had he been to school? What church did he attend?—and a few other queries, of similar import.

On all points except that of churchgoing Tad's answers w.-re very satisfactory: and Miss Smith graciously admitted that his lack of clothes was a tolerably reasonable excuse for his deficiency in that one respect. "I guess you'll do," she finally said, "at least I'm minded to try you. so you can come over and begin work early Monday morning." "Thank you. inarm." replied Tad, with a beaming face. "I'll be here early and though I'm kind of green. Miss Smith." lie added, earnestly. "I'll learn just as fast as ever 1 can. ami work all the harder to make up." "Well, we'll sec," was the only reply. Miss Smith's faith in juvenile promises had been rudely shattered by the frequent breakages that she had known in her experience. At the same time she felt rather drawn toward this pale-faced orphaned boy—though sho would not have owned it, even to her own self. "Don't you let that Joe Whitney lead you into any mischief before you get back to Cap'n F'lagg's," said Miss

Smith, sharply, raising her voice for Joe's edification, as Tad joined him outside the* gate. "Now, Miss Smith," expostulated the injured youth, "that isn't fair!" The maiden lady smiled significantly, and, muttering something about "innocent Abigail." resumed raking, while Tad, exultant over his future prospects, forebore to reproach his mischievous companion for tiie little episode I have liarrated, and the two walked away together in the most amicable manner.

ClIAl'TEli Vm.

Who that, was ever a boy has forgotten, or will forget, his first fishing experience? No matter whether it was angling for minnows from the wharf, with a pin-hook, catching "pumpkin seeds" from the mill-pond logs or following up an alder-fringed brook in pursuit of trout—he will bo sure to remember it a great deal longer than he will tho more important episodes of his later life. And I know one in particular who will always remember his boyish debut in the fishing lino—I mean Tad Thorno.

It was the Saturday morning following Tad's peculiar introduction to Miss Smith, and an unusually mild day for aNew England April, which uncertain month is very apt to seem so much like March as to resemble a younger brother.

Joo and Tad were digging bait in Deacon Whitney's barn-yard that is Joo did the digging while Tad placed the angle-worms in around tin must-jird-box, with a ventilating cover. "There!" said Joe, straightening up, "and now, Tad—you plaguey olu. tat-tle-tale!"

Tad looked up in diro astonishment but the conclusion of Joe's sentence was evidently not addressed to himself.

It was churning-day at Deacon Whitney's, and Joe's eyes were fixed on the retreating form of Miss Smith's hired help who had come over to bespeak some buttermilk for Miss Smith's pig. Saniantha Nason was given to gossip, ami Joe's guilty conscience at once assured him that she had lost no time in telling the story of his late humorous performance to the deacon, Mrs. Whitney and his sister Nell. "I guess we'd better be off," remarked Joe, rather hastily "and, instead of going out tho front way, we'll take a short cut down through tho fields. You've got your lines all right?"

Tad tapped his pocket significantly, and adjusted the tin-box cover while Joo was putting tho shovel back in the barn. "Come on, then, Tad," said his companion, with an uneasy glance at the back kitchen, which Tad did not quite understand, and with his words Joe dodgeil hastily behind the barn, followed by Tad but, alas! he was too late!

From the open kitchen-window came the cry, in his sister Nell's voice: "Jo-soph!—come right into the house —father wants you!" "Darn it all!" muttered Joe, with a vindictive kick at the fence-rail now I've got to catch it." "Catch what?" wonderingly asked Tad, though with an intuitive suspicion that Joe was not referring to tho prospective catch of trout.

Joe did not reply, but with a gloomy and vengeful expression, slunk into the barn by the small rear door, followed by his wondering companion. From behind the corn-crib Joe hastily pulled the bottom of an old pasteboard bandbox.
