To my utter surprise he resumed bis talk with me aa the young man went

away.

“Yon see all way* are north when you put this lodestone near the needle,” he went oik “If It Is to tell yon the truth you must keep the lode stone away from Hie needle. It’s that way, too. with the compass of your souL partner. There the lodestone Is selfishness, and with Its hel? you can make any direction look right to you and soon—you're lost" He bound the lost bnn.Ue and then we walked together toward the house, the senator carrying his sickle. *T shall introduce you to the president,” he said as we neared our da£ tinatinT.. “Then perhaps you had better leave us." I could not remember that I had ever been ‘Introduced" to anybody, knew that people put their wits on exhibition and often flung do.vn a “snag" by way of demonstrating their fitness for the honor, when they were introduced In books. I ramember asking rather timidly: “What shall I . —Introduce meT" “Oh. say anything yon want to say. he answered with a look of amhsi

meat.

Tm kind o’ ecared," I said. “Yon needn't be—he was once a poor boy just like you." “Just like me!" I repeated thoughtfully. for while I had heard a good deal of that kind of thing In our home. It had not. somehow, got under my Jacket as they used to say. "Just like you—cowhide and all— the son of a small freeholder In Kinderbook on the Hudson." he went on. “But he was well fed In brain and body and kept bU *’eart clean. So of course be grew and Is still growing. That's a curious thing about men and women. Bart. If they are In good ground and properly cared for they never stop growing — never! —and that’s a pretty full word—isn’t Itt We had came in sight of the house. I lagged behind a Uttle when I saw the great man rittlcg on the sma:i with Mr*. Wright. *

“It Is a pleasure to be here and a regret to call you back to Washington,” said the president as they ebook “I suppose that means an extra 80S-

sion,” the senator answered.

“First let me reassure you. I than get away as soon as possible, for I know that a president is a heavy bur-

den for one to have on his hands.”

“Don't worry. I can get along with

pedally If he like pudding and well as you do." said the senator, who then Introduced me in these words “Mr. President, this U my young friend. Barton Bgynes. of the neighborhood of LicUtyspUt In the town of Bsllybeen—a coming man of this county." “Come on." wss the playful remark of the president as he took my hand. “I shall be looking for you." I had carefully chosen my words and I remember saying, with some dignity. like one In a story book, although with a trembling voice: "It la an honor to meet you. sir. and thank you for the right to I am old enough." Vividly, too, I remember his gentle smile as he looked down at said In a most kindly tone: “I think It a great honor you say that." He put his hands upon my shoulders and turning to the senator said: “Wright I often wish that I.bad your modesty.” “I need it much more than you do.' the senator laughed.. Straightway I left them with an awkward bow and blushing to the roots of my hair. As I neared toe home of Mr. Haeket . heard hurrying footsteps behind me and the voice of Sally calling my name. I stopped and faced about. How charming she looked as she walked toward me! I had never seen her quite so fixed up. “Bart." she said. “I suppose you're not going to speak to mo." “If you’ll speak to me," I answered. “I lor# lo speak to you." she said. “I've been looking all around for you. Mother wants you to come over to dinner with us at Just twelve o'clock. You're going away with father as soon as we get through." I wanted to go but got the notion all at once that the Dunkelbergs were In need of Information about me and that the time had come to impart It. So then and there that ancient Olympu* of onr family received notice a* It

were.

T cant" I said. Tve got to atudy my lessons before I go. away with your

father."

It was a blow to her. I aa shadow that fell upon her face, was vexed and turned and ran away from me without another word and I felt a pang of regret as I went to the lonely and deserted home * '

At twelve-thirty Mr. Dunkclberg came for me, with a high-stepping

Mr. Grlmahaw came soon after we had finished our luncheon. He hitched his horse at the post and came in. “Good day." he said, once and for all. a* he came In et the open door. “Baynes, I want to have a talk with you end the boy. Tell me what you know about that murder.” “Wal. I had some business over to Plsttsburg," my unde began. “While I was there I thought I'd go and see Amos. So I drove out to Beekman'e farm. They told me that Amos had left there after work!o' four days. They gave him fourteen shilllue an' he was goln’ to take the stage in the mornin'. He left some time in the night an' took Beekman'e rifle with him, so they said. There wss a piece o' wood broke out o’ the stock o’ the rifle. That was the kind o' gun that was used In the murder." It surprised me that my unde knew all this. He had said nothing to me of his Journey or Itt result “How do you know?" snapped Mr.

Grim thaw.

This boy sec It plain. It was a gun with s piece o' wood broke out

“Is that sot" was the brusque deand of the money lender as be turned to roe. “Yes. sir,” I answered.

Dunkclberg turned to me and

Again Grimshaw laughed between his teeth ac he looked at my unde.

T am not a liar," I declared with dignatloc. whereupon my aunt angrily stirred the fire in the stove and Uncle Peabody put his hand on my arm and said: "Hush. Bart ’ Keep your temper,

I answered a bit too proudly, and wondering how he had heard of my good fortune, but deeply gratified at bis knowledge of 1L “What did he have to say?"

Uncle Peabody called cheerfully, as he walked toward the barnyard. "Let's go an' git ' them but'nutt." He paid no attention to onr visitor*—neither did my aunt who followed us. The two men talked together a moment, unhitched the'.r horses, got Into their buggies and drove away. "Wal. I'm surprised at Mr. Horace Dunkelberg tryln' to come It over us like that—ayes!
