PECK’S BAD BOY IN AN AIRSHIP Trave:s in S.ide -‘Do.or Pullman

(Cbpyright, 1908, by W. G. Chapman.) - There is not much fun in being an orphan until you escape from the orphan asylum, and I want to say that my chum and myself have had two red letter days in the town where we seemed to drop out of a balloon into the hearts of the country people. They took up a subscription to buy clothes for us, and dressed us up, and we looked as though we had been clothing dummies in front of a clothing store, and then the people got into R quarrel as to who should adopt us. A farmer drew my chum and wanted him to get acquainted with some mules and drive six mules to haul fertilizer on the farm. My chum had to sit on a saddle on. one mule, and drive the other five mules: by using one line, which he pulled and hauled to make them gee round grand right and left. ' e

The fat woman adopted me because I was such a dear little thing. She was one of those hay widows, whose husband got-plenty of her sauce, and took to the tall timber, and all she wanted t 6 do was to -hug me, and tell me that if:l had not dropped into her dfe, out of that balloon, she 'would have kicked the bucket, and I thought of how any bucket I ever saw would have collapsed, for she had a foot like a fiddle box. |

She made me tell her the story of my past life, and when she found I was Peck's Bad Boy, and I thought I had made my story so sanguinary that she would want me to go away, so she could have a quiet life, she just froze to me and said she could see that she had been selected by Providence to take the badness out of me, and she went to work hypnotizing me, and giving me absent treatment on my meals, to take my strength for wickedness away, and then she got me so weak I could not hug back when she squeezed me, and you can imagine the condition a growing boy would be in who could not do his share of the hugging. The second day of my sentence to be her adopted son, with all my crimes on my head, she let me go out on the farm to visit my chum, and there is where my whole new life changed. My chum was driving his mules around the farm, and I was riding behind him on the wheel mule, when a balloon from St. Louis came over, and the men in the balloon yelled at us to grab hold of the ropes as they wanted to land in the field. The mules began to act up and my chum couldn’t control them, and I jumped off the mule and grabbed the rope and gave it a

hitch around the pole of the wagon, and that settled it with -the mules. They rolled their fawn like eyes around at the great gas hag that was swaying over the wagon, with the two men yelling, and the mules started to run, with the wagon and the balloon, around that field, the balloon striking the fence occasionally, and a tree once in a while, the men yelling for us ‘to cut the rope, and the mules braying and saying mule prayers, and me chasing along to try and cut the rope, and my chum hanging on to the ears of the wheel mule, and the farmers rushing into the field from every direction to stop the mules, and the men in the balloons using the worst language. ‘ v The mules had run around the field several ?mes, and the balloon was doIng its best to keep up, when I yelled to the men in the balloon: “Why don’t you throw out your anchor?”’ and they then seemed to recollect about an anchor, and they threw it out, and when it caught fast in the ground the mules pulled loose from the wagon and went through a fence, and started for Texas, and I gness they are going yet. My chum got off all right, except he was so scared he could not stand up. Well, we had a time straightening things out, the farmers wanted to lynch the balloon men, and make them pay for the mules, but in rolling up the bal-

(Copyright in Great Britain.) 5 locn to take to the station, to ship to St. Louis, I found a mail bag, and I told the farmers these balloonists were carrying the United States mail, and any man that laid hands on the government mail could be imprisoned for life for treason, and I scared the farmers so they gave the balloonists their dinner, and hauled the balloon to the station with the whole bunch of us, and when the balloonists went away on the train they told my chum and me that if we would come to St. Louis they would give us jobs carrying off balloons, and they would teach us how to fly. Gee, but that was® nuts for us. To rise, at once, from being mule drivers and adopted boys, to a place in balloon society, was what we wanted, and my chum and I de-

serted our more or less happy homes and began to plan to jump a freight train bound for St. Louis. We laid down on the platform of the station that night and went to sleep and I dreamed that I sailed across the ocean in a balloon, and landed in a park in Paris, and when the populace came to welcome us to dear old France, pa was one of the first to see me, and he fell upon my neck, and when the people were going to give me a reception and a cross of the Legion of Honor, for being the first to cross the ocean in a balloon, pa told them I was his boy and pa wanted to take all the credit for my grand achievement, and when I woke up a watchman at the station kicked us off the platform like we were tramps, and we walked 'down the tracks and were so mad we wanted to throw stones at the switch lights, and my chum wanted to put a tie on the track to wreck a traln, but I persuaded him that it was that kind of re. venge that caused the enmity between tramps and the richer class. Then he wanted to set fire to a tank car of kerosene, and if I hadn’t been a pretty good citizen there would have been a bon-fire sure, but I showed my chum that we were only temporary tramps, #€nd' that in a few days we would achieve success, and own rallroads, and that we should show an

example of patience, and strive to ber come members of the four hundred. So we refrained from getting even, and Rockefeller was not kept awake. We were pretty hungry, but” tight. ened up our belts and pretty soon a f@eight car. stopped on a side track and a brakeman came along with a lantern and I gave him the last half dollar I had and told him we wanted to land in St. Louis, and he looked over us and pointed to a car, and we hustled in and he locked the side door of the car, and we were alone in the dark, hungry and thirsty. We found a part of a bale of hay, and scattered some on the floor and went to sleep, and I never slept better on a spring mattress, but I dreamed of home, and all the fun I had ever had, making it hot for other people, playing tricks on them, but now all was changed, and I felt that I was on my own resources, making my own way in the world, handicapped by always having an easy life. ‘ Along towards daylight in the morning some horses beganm to paw and whinner and a collie dog began to bark in the car, and some sheep bleated in th ecar, and .as morning came, and a little light came in the car, which was hitting the high places, running at high speed, so it shook us out of our hay bed, we looked around starved and stiff, and sick at heart. When the train stopped I walked through the car, over bags of oats, and looked at the horses, and wished I was a horse. The dog was a watch

dog, and when I got near him he snarled and grabbed a mouthful of my new pants and held on and shook me, and I yelled and got away. » As it grew lighter I saw a box near the dog, and in it were some square things that my practiced eye, as the son of an old hunter, told me were dog biscuit, a sort of petrified dough and meat scraps made for high class dogs that are not allowed to eat scraps from the table, and I told my chum we would have breakfast. It took me half an hour to steal a few dog biscuit away from that dog, and all the time he was trying to make his breakfast off of me, but I finally poked out enough, for breaktast, and I called my chum to partake of the repast. He said he always had to have some kind of breakfast food before he ate meat, so I cut into a bag of oats, and gave him a handful, and there we sat and chewed away, trying to imagine that we were happy, and thinking of coffee and pancakes and sausage, and waffles, and biscuit and honey. It was probably the worst breakfast ever eaten by anybody. The dog biscuits were so hard we had to pound them on the floor with a curry comb; and that did not help the flavor much,_{

After breakfast we laid down on the hay with a horse blanket over us. and slept till noon, when we hearq water being poured into the tin trough for the horses, and we quenched our thirst, and ate more dog biscuit, and I hoped that other boys would hear of our distress, and that no boys would ever run away from a happy home again. . My chum and I talked over the depression in the money market, and the panic in Wall street, and tried to think we were better off than millionlaires who did not know where the next meal was coming from, and with our stomachs full, and no care on jour minds, we wished we could give some of our dog biscuit to the hun\gry rich. - : : While we were thinking of the good one can do with a few dog biscuit, there was .a terrible crash, the car jumped on the ties and reared up, and finally rolled over and down a bank and all was still as death, except that the boiler of the engine was blowing off steam, and the horses were groaning, and the confounded dog that chewed me was dead. ‘ Men ran over the cars, and chopped with axes, and finally a fire engine began to throw water on the burning cars, my chum and I were wedged under bales of hay, one of my legs was asleep, and we both yelled murder, and finally the fire was out, the side was chopped out of the car, and they took us out and put us in an ambulance and the brakeman who had let us into the car said: ‘.‘Tlckets, please,” and the ambulance was driven to a hospital at East St. Louis, and they wanted to amputate us, just for practice. One of the hospital attendants asked me who I was, and when I told him I was “Peck’s Bad Boy,” traveling for my health, he said: ‘“Well, you are certainly getting what is coming to you,” and I guess that is to lie.

For those contemplating ‘a tour to Europe, Hungary offers an embarrassing choice of beauty spots. The following is Miss Alice Stronach’s interesting story of her visit to the country of the Magyars: “Late Fpring and early autumn are the best‘times for a visit to Hungary. True, there are winter spots in the Tatra to attract the enthusiast for these, and in summer’s heat delicious cool may be found at the many lovely mountain spas, whose marvels of scenery and of healing springs are far too little known to English victims of gout and rheumatism and other ailments. But the extremes of cold and heat make traveling on the great plain of Hungary well-nigh intolerable in the depth of winter or the height of summer. Autumn, when a glory of crimson and gold begins to sweep over forest and mountain, and the AlZold, or low%and, teems with mellow fruitfulness, is a delightful time for a tour. in Hungary; and, moreover, the traveler who times his visit then can count on seeing something of the Hungarian vintage, a festival peculiarly fascinating in the land of the csardas, the home of picturesque costume and gypsy music, ;

“The Hungarians are not yet infected with the strenuousness of their British and American visitors,. and we found life in our little mountain spa of Trenscen-Teplitz, on our arrival there, a restful and pleasant change from the bustle of a London season. We sampled the baths, whose strong sulphur waters attracted visitors from Vienna, Germany and all parts of Hungary; listened to the music of the gypsy band, that played in the morning in a lime-tree allee, in the evening in the casino; had picnic teas in the woods on the spurs of the Little Carpathians, and dined in the garden’ of a little inn, where we first experienced the joy of eating kukuruks (heads of maize), and drinking a delicious wine that our host called tokay, possibly a distant cousin of that imperial wine. And always there was the sensation of living in a fairy tale, where every peasant girl might be a princess and every swineherd a prince in disguise. - The shops with their quaint, naive signs—a crusty loaf to denote the baker’s, a realistic ham at the butcher’s, a beaker foaming at the brim, or a cup frothing over with: cream, to tell where beer or coffee might be had—deepened the sense of fairy tale or pantomime. ! “Our later wanderings took us to others of the wonderful medicinal spas which, well known to the Austrians, Hungarians, and Poles are too little known in England. . “On leaving Trenscen we traveled down the Danube, when an hour’s journey brought us to Orsova, a quaint oriental town on the Roumanian border just above the Ix;'bn Gates. A gentle specimen of the unspeakable Turk rowed us across to the island of AdaKaleh, midway in the Danube, where

the people of a Turkish colony- live under Hungarian protection, exempt from taxes and military service, mak‘ing life picturesque for themselves and for the strangezrs who visit them to sip Turkish coffee and buy Turkish wares at their funny little shops. “The finest stretch~of the Danube lies .just above Orsova, and the day's voyage from ‘there to Belgrade' was well worth the early start on a chill October morning. The glorious: scenery of the defile of Kazan, the coming and going of peasant folk of many nationalities—Servians, Hungarians, Roumanians, and people from farther east, with an occasional grand Turk spread-. ing his praying-carpet on the deck at sunset, make a steamer-voyage on that part of the Danube memorable. > “There is, indeed, no pleasanter mode of travel in Hungary than by the steamers that ply on the Danube and the Tisza, and it has the.advantage of\economy, since fares are low and you can sleep as well as have meals on board. s

“Our steamer anchored just above the flashing crown of electric lights that marked Belgrade, and, after a day ‘spent in the capital of ¥King Peter’'s kingdom, where there is a faseinating market, we took train for Szeged. Not that we had any special ‘wish to see that prosperous but somewhat prosaie town, which has been rebuilt on the site of ‘one '~ washed away by the floods of the river Tisza, some 30 years ago. It was but a convenient stopping-place on the way to the most fascinating part of Hungary, Transylvania; and its shops and theater and picture-gallery, even its mar-ket-place, ablaze with costume and aflame with red peppér, did not tempt us ‘o linger. e “For time was flying, and to leave Hungary without making a tour in Transylvania would ‘be to miss the finest forest and_mountain scenery, the most bewitching variety of costume, the most chdracteristic portion of the land of the Magyars. It is In Transylvania that many Magyar nobles have their country seats, and there the best shooting is to be had, the most delightful hospitality is dispensed. It is a vast country, and up in the mountains and off the beaten track the traveler may have occasionally to rough it. Another pleasant town is Nagy-Szeben (German, Hermannstadt), where:you seem to stumble into the middle ages or a Faust legend. so old-world are its' cobbled streets, its churches and houses, and market-place . peopled with ~Saxons, Roumanians, and Hungarians in piecturesque costumes. Both Negy-Sze-ben, and Brasso {German, Kronstadt), a few hours nearer the Roumanian border of Hungary, are good centers for excursions among the peaks of the Carpathians. The Carpathian club has mountain shelters where travelers can obtain simple fare and beds, and is ever ready to help the stranger with advice and information from its offi- : ces in these towns. .~ : “It was, however, too late in the season for more than a flying visit to_ some of the quaint little walled citadels of the Saxon settlers, whose for- | tified churches tell of the surprise visits of the Turks to dwellers in these regions.

“Our baby boy broke out with eczema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like l;é‘efsteak for three months, and he w&ﬂacry out when I bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. I gave him three months’ treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and hailf a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby’s. He is now two years and a half old and no eczema has reappeared. Mrs. .M. L. Harris, Alton, Kan., May 14 and June 12, 1907.” _ : Sometimes Hard to Teil. George | Eliot says that the expression on a woman’s face when she is sewing: tells the story of the woman's heart. If she is happy and contented, or possibly slovenly and indifferent, she may smile and look the happiness she either feels or is incapabie of feeling. . If she h§s many things to worry her and is possibiy planning how to make ten cents do a dollars worth of good, or if she is naturally a vixen, it will show in her face, so after all it is not safe to predicate as ito what her sewing face reveals.
