was bright nough and wise nough hyne he remarked td try to ek up a proverb to offset the ones that urge a man to be careful its well nough to be careful but theres such a thing as overdoin it jest how have you been too care ful and in what way do you mean the deacon as eying the tree syropathislrjoiy i was so careful to gh nough straw and mukih round the tree caleb ex plained that i got too much and it made a nice place for mice to harbor throurti the whiter and now what tlieywe done to that tree ive got to go to work and bridgegraft it if i want to save it he added moodi ly wal deacon mean there was onecase that mebbe i know about and you dont caleb went on grinning did you ever happen to hear about the time ther- wade shut himself into the old barn to git away from the steer i probably you never have it was when xsvas a youngster theron was a funny lad for all he was asised here in dumouth be never got reelly wonted to farm crtt- ttrs i dont spose caleb conjectur ed tet he ever saw the day he wouldnt ruther walk five miles than to harness a boss and drive the dis tance timid of em you know and he was wuss about neat cattle than he was bosses and timid as he was about cows and horned cattle of all kinds he was even wuss about a ram wal to git ahead one day theron had to go an errand to the village and beta in anch a hurry he under took to cross the pasture not seem any cattle or sheep in it and thinkm as it proved afterward that may- berry haul changed em all over to bis other pasture to better the feed he had changed em as a matter of fact all but one old ram that was the frolicky one and a couple of young steers tfaat was breachy ttaeron got the better part of the way across the pasture too far to git back to the fence and jest before he got to an old bam there he rounded a dump of bushes and come right on the two young cattle and they thlnkln bed come to give em salt like nough started tords him trot- tin and that was taough to make him panicky in a mmute he was too fur away to make roe fence but there was the old bam with the doors open so he made for that and bad jest tune nough to swing ttae doors shut when the steers struck trie outside bard nough to jar the bulldln and made thed blat like a calf he was so soared for all he had a shot door betwixt him and the crit ters and even then be want satis fied he had to go and be too care ful he up and dr the staybar a heavy yellow birch timber into the thimbles and it beln wet and swell ed from some rain it wedged in jjiere and stuck wal hed no more than dropped the staybar when he heard a noise behind turn and when he whirled to see what it was there was that old ram that like nough had slipped m there to chew his cud out of the hot sun jest teeterln and gittln ready to repel boarders s you might say and there was theron front beta too care ful locked up in that shackly old barn with a ata that had wedged and doorstlxathe couldnt git open easy i rueas he must have gone about wild anyway there was a race round the inside of the barn with thed blattln and the ram snartin and every time thed would git near nough the door hed sire the bar a little lift till final ly it did fetch clear and dropped and thed went through the door yellln and wavln his arms and he went so quick and soared the young cattle out they jest scattered and left htm and the ram to run it out be tween etn wal thed beat the ram in the rate to the fence bub he didnt but jest even at that and it want a gret while after that be went away to study tavmtnl be owned up to me in after years that after that ex perience he knew for sartain be cd never look a farmcritter in the face so be took some kind of englnesrln and hes got well off out of h so he reelly prospered in the end the deacon said yea caleb admitted but hed have saved one bad scare and pros pered jest ss well if hed been less careful it mother r face of william bumpus ly daiillng as he shouted the good news from the gate of the parsonage of course mother ran out and hugged hum and ns father fol lowing close patted him again and again saying good boy billy proud of you son i and all three laughed and capered about on the front porch ttes- tlll rimy remembered that the neigh- bars might be looking an and hitrrlrd indoors he was short and rouypouy like his ttuon a mean irl onoe said and what bis looks lacked in dignity billy fem he must make up by rls conduct so the congratulations went on indoors it was the appointment to the naval adademy wfajch had just been awarded to billy after a competitive examination hooray hooray shouted billy hopping around tne parlor now that no one could see i never was so nappy what did congressman afurdock say when he told you ihat you had won asked mother billys spirits calmeti down why he was kind of funny mnt he said i won on the merks of my paper but he was afraid i wouldnt like it or make a success of it what on esuthl began mother highly indignant he- said i came from a long une of teachers and preachers and what hey wanted at annapolis was not bookworms but efflcient practical men i guess he thought i wasnt practical billy looked grieved there is something in what mr murdock says observed the elder bumpus mildly youve lived a good deal among books and you are rather absentminded but if your heart is in it and you are determined to make a success of it you can do it william of course he can do it cried wttlr hug that man murdock m just angry because an ap pointment in a ministers family means nothing to him politically and billy agreed heartily with his mother surely there was no question about billys heart being in it when he went to annapolis and gazed on the huge granite buildings the white ships and the august officers the letter he wrote borne fairly bubbled over but it was a very different boy thai walked dolefully across the grounds behind bancroft rail one sunday af ternoon late in october it was mm- shlpman bumpus in all oie glory of his dress uniform with its eighteen brass buttons in front but he was looking for a quiet puace where he could wallow to misery uninterrupted re anally picked out a place on the sea wal and sat down to think things pact is everything has gone wrong since i entered said billy naif aloud before the end of the first two weeks he had been christened blunv derbuss bumpus and when he recall ed the blunders he had made to earn that title he turned hot and cold somehow he bad been so easily fool ed by the tricks of upperclassmen cession was rattling up trie avenue to the main gate in those days the ancient town of annapolis bad a fire department of its own which did the best it could but since the engine horse bad to be brousht in from pasture or urjhamess- ed fwora the garbage cart trie force dd not arrive so suddenly as to startle anybody bo when a ore threatened to be serious the mldsntnmen came to the rescue and a great lsuk they us uaty made of it in the excitement billy trotted alonavpuumg a rope forgetful of hu but he was soon reminded when an upper classman managed to trip him so thai he fell heavily there was a roar of laughter and a voice buirjdy rwtipk again ripe down there bellowed a cadet oncer in another minute they bad wheeled down a narrow street of frame nouses just outside the yard abeadyone the tenements yks gone past help and be work of the fire brtsrade was to save the houses op each side the doysvviere rapidly separated into squads and billy found himself with husky and two thirdckasstnen in charge of a hose on the roof of a back porch every now and then as the wind veered it blew over them a choking cloud of smoke filled with bits at plaster and burnmk tar paper but they poured a steady stream of water into the window of one of the thr houses opposite them which had just taken fire hurray he yelled excitedly as the stream tore off a biasing shutter and sent it clattering below suddenly a mulatto woman ran- out from the rear of the bouse across the back yard tracys a baby in that room she ahrietad to the boys on the roof billy was nearest her and the only one who heard a baby it was al ready blistering hot where they stood and the ram she was pointing to was pouring out mack smoke sttn it was only twenty feet away and with in easy reach from the porch roof look out fellows im going after the baby bidva w heard ii h as anot cloud of smoke swirled over them as it shifted they saw hkn disappear in tbaaindow a few snonrk later husky bad wet his h and holding it over his mouth and nose was nimg after high school keport terms imposed on two

toad ospumd of only w worth of tba entatu 1 he had so often been absexhnunded at the wrong time and it if the harder he tried the worse be did because he got so easily rattled be had with the beat intentions made every lubberly mtttare possible at thats what the cadet officers told him and yesterday came the he was sectionleader coining from an english recitation marching be side his section with a websters dic tionary under his arm just at the corner of the walk stood the superin tendent a stately rear admiral in epaulets and cooked bat with a group of visiting offioera from the french squadron as bury passed he felt that for the dignity of the school he must try- to look as miltary and as little boyish as possible so be stiff ened backward and looked frowning ahead just as he was getting ready to salute his heel caught in one of the raised bricks at the edge of the walk his dictionary was jolted out from his arm and in clutching for it he bumped one of his section the next instant he was sprawling at the feet of the superintendent and bis guests those minutes that followed were too horrible to think of again bills wondered that a fellow can go through an experience like chat and not die on the spot then came the inter view with the cnmrnandant an hour after when billy stood in trembling silence before the old seadog whose keen eyes and bristling moustache radiated no tenderness upon the luck less boy after telling him in quarterdeck terms how he had pubucly disgraced the school the martinet concluded efficiency is the naval ur ideal and nothing can be further from it than your lubberly conduct i am glad to see that you stand well in your studies and have new demerits but those virtues dont make the naval man now mr bumpus if you cant do better than you have been doing youll never get a satisfactory grade in efficiency and you will do the ser vice and country a favor by getting out aye aye sir murmured billy and was waved from the room it was only yesterday that an this happened but to the boy sitting on the sea wall it seemed as iff he had lived ten years since then and now be was debating with himself whether be should resign evidently congressman murdock was right why should he stay if he was a failure and yet bow could he go home and confess ins fall there was so much smoke that none of this was seen from below and a lieutenant bawled up steady there with that hose to his astonishment his order was answered by the crews shutting off the nosxle and vanish ing from their stations a mft gust blew away the smoke and reveal ed all four at the window where- husky with billy limp in bis arms was being helped by the other two to get back on the roof billys right band was clutching a tiny counter pane when they took stock of the two friends at sick quarters they found them not seriously the worse for the adventure as billy came to with the smoke out of his lungs he asked if anybody found that baby x couldnt be said weakly you blamed fool- snorted husk- mcdougal who was invrngr his band dressed there wasnt any the following morning brought an other w for mioshipaiian bum pus to report to the oorornandant ore his he should bate to leave roommate husky mcdougsj he re flected gloomily husky was a big football player from tennessee who befriended buty and just kept sat hi bis studies by billys nightly coach ing i guess husky would miss me he said bitterly but in spite of everything the love of the sea was strong in thessd and the romance of it came back in all its force as he looked over the shlmmer- ins- bay to the french sq a chored in the- distance no use though he though gloomily i havent the knack rve got to stay a lubber all my life at this he felt so rmaerahle that be al most forgot the dignity of bis sixteen years and had to blink fast suddenly the air was- torn with a horrible shriek whoo ee whoo ee whoop whoop billy jumoed so quickly that be nearly fell off the sea wall and ran as cast as his plump lews would go it was the siren whistle which eaus every midshipman to ore quar from every comer of the yard down the long steps of bancroft ban in every possible uniform the men of the tint battalion were racing to the engine bouse while tte second batta- uoavfou in in front of bancroft han bldy belonged to thaxjrst and was soon at his station over the dm rang the sharp oxnera of toe officers the tangle of t straighten ed out sad is a few m the two- agarn he faced the keen eyes and the bristling moustache mr bumpus did you get orders to enter that burning house no sir the colored woman said that there was a baby in there so i understand did it occur to you that there bad been plenty of time for the occupants to get out and that the officers in charge must have seen to it that the house was properly cleared since they bad managed to save most of the furniture as wellt that darky woman only knew that there had been a baby there wellt i guess rve blundered aaatn mud billy rxuserahly i i think rd bet ter resign star t reoneense laughed the rrsartinet and he laid a hand on the bays shoulder my boy the kind af blun dering that braves danger without stopping to calculate is a splendid foundation for yon to build an now i think that when you get more ac customed to this new life youll be less nervous and rattled hem mind what they can you bumpus youve got the g of an officer and re- again billy bad to blink fast to save bis dignity thats ail said the commandant with a twinkle except that i shall expect you and mcdougal to report at my quarters next sunday for din
