"Well," said Elmer, "I don‘t see any , way unless we do go afoot, for we have only got two dollars between us,| and the fare to Portland is more‘n two dollars aplece." | "Pele Bateman got over harder spots than this," said John, "and I know we can.‘ A Runaway Trunk "Yes, I suppose so," responded Elâ€" mer. "Father might give me a dollar or so to spend at the fair next week. If it would do any good, I‘d ask him, but I might as well ask the town pump." While the two boys are laying plans, we‘ll find out who they are and what means this planning of theirs. John Sheldon, a bright, quickâ€"witted . boy of fourteen, is the son of a woll-‘ todo farmer. The other boy, Elmer Hammond, is the village doctor‘s son, a few months younger. The two are excellent friends. They have been reading "Perilons Adventures of Peto' Bateman, the Boy Sailor." Roused byl the daring deeds and wonderful esâ€" | capes of the hero, a mania to go tol sea has fallen upon them. They lhinki there‘s no good in asking their fathers‘: advice, so they are laying plans in secret. John has learned that the fishing schooner Brittomart sails for Newâ€" foundland the twentyâ€"fifth, and it is now the twentyâ€"fourth. The two boys start from beneath the "High Top" sweeting tree in the orchard where they have been sitâ€" ting. "Isn‘t there a way to go on the freight train?" asked Elmer, throwing an apple core toward a chipmunk, chattering on the stone wall. "No, I guess not," answered John thoughtfully. "But I‘ve got an idea!" he exclaimed exultantly, crumpling up his old straw hat and giving it an upward fling. "Quickâ€"out with it!" said Elmer. "There‘s an old trunk of grandpa‘s up in the garret! Do you see, Elmer? Chuck what we want in that, get in, and one of us goes as baggage. What do you say to that?" "You‘ve struck it‘" declared Elmer. "Let‘s go at it. I‘m in for that. Why. By CHATLETTE HAMMOND No, sir," saild John, determinedly, ve won‘t give it up if we have to go "You‘ve struck it!‘" declared Elmer. "Let‘s go at it. I‘m in for that. Why, you‘re as cute as Pote.‘ ‘ "Weo‘ll have to start in the morning," said John. "We‘ll have a gay time. We‘ll see a bit of the city when we‘re through our business with the capâ€" tain." Not a doubt but that they could go as sailors had once entered their heads. Of course Captain Daly would take them. It was decided that Elmer should get perw!ssion and come down and stay all night with John. Hoe was to take him what he wanted, and they‘d pack what they could in the trunk. Before Elmer started for home ,they stole softly up to the attic, brought the trunk down and put it in a dark corner of the barn. A little after dusk, Elmer came over, bringing his best suit and his new baseball, tied together in an old handâ€" kerchiof. These, with some of Johhn‘s possessions, were packed in the trunk, leaving not a very roomy place for & boy. Half a dozen or more air holes were bored in the sides. All was ready for an early start in the morning. The boys retired in good season, but not to sleep. At halfâ€"past eleven, John looked at his watch. "Why, Elmer, if you‘ll belteve it, is Isn‘t but halfâ€"past eleven." The same was repeated at one, and again at halfâ€"past two. At three they rose and dressed, went softly db&wn the stairs and out into the cool mornâ€" ing. Elmer had a little homesick twinge as they started, but John laughed at him. Each taking a handle of the trunk, they went toward the station. They reached the station, as they hoped to, before anyone was about. It required some talking on John‘s part to persuade Elmer that he, beâ€" ing the smaller, ought to go in the trunk. There was just room for him to curl down on his side. He got in, John shut the cover, lockâ€" ed the trunk, and sat down beside ed it. at length. "Sort of boxed up,‘ replied Elmer. "There isn‘t any room to spare." Soon the station was opened. John bought his ticket, got his check and when the train came steaming in, he first made sure the trunk was put on, and then he got on board and off they went. John enjoyed the ride. Twice only had he been on the cars before, and never alone. At Dalton Station, in a yard behind the station, were kept some deer, a fox, a raven and other animals. Their fame had reached John‘s ears, and, as there promised to be a stop of fifteen minutes for breakfast, he left the car and went round to see them:; and for a time they quite drove his sea voyage from his mind. There came a sudden reminder, however, when he heard the puff, puff of the engine and the rumbling of the cars. do Then he started and ran round to the front of the depot, only to see the train rushing offâ€"without him. John felt badly, but did not know what to _"Well, now, I was a fool!" he thought. as he looked after the vanâ€" ishing train. He asked a man standing near when the next train went to Portland.

This was a blow to John. Added to his desire to reach tho‘city was not a little anxiety as to Elmer‘s condition in the trunk. What a long four hours he had to wait! Time had never dragged so before! At last the longedâ€"for train came and John reached Portland in safety. The next thing was to find his trunk. He went up to a man standing near some baggage and asked him how to get trunks. John showed it. The man looked among the trunks. "There isn‘t any trunk like that here," he said. John stood a minute dismayed. "There must be one somewhere," he said, not a little anxious. "Is there another place to find trunks? ‘ "Not‘s I know of. DId your trunk come along with you?" "I‘ve just come," replied John; "but my trunk came this morning." The man looked again. "Well, the trunk isn‘t here, that‘s sure," ho said. Poor John! What was to be done? One thing was certainâ€"ho must find the trunk. He was sure it was put on board. Where was it now, and where was Elmer? "Can you tell me what to do to find It?" asked John, very earnestly and It?" asked John, very earnestly and anxiously. "Don‘t worry, boy, I‘ll help you all I can," said the man, goodâ€"naturedly. "Did you say your trunk came on the early train? Did you see it put on?" "Yes, sir," assured John. "I saw it put. on that train myself.‘ "Well, well," said the man, consolâ€" Ingly. "You wait here a minute and I‘ll see if I can find out anything about it. I guess it‘s all right." John‘s frame of mind was anything but an enviable one as he stood awaitâ€" ing the man‘s return. A few minutes later he came back with Conductor Parker with him. "You are John Sheldon, are you*" asked the conductor. ' "Yes, sir," answered John, a littte surprised. "You‘ve lost a trunk, have you, my boy "Yes, sir. Can you tell me where to find it?" the latter questloned, eagerly. "Very," said John, "and 1 must fnd it," looking anxlously around at the trunks. "Any objection to telling me what your trunk contained?" pursued the conductor. "Did your trunk contain anything very valuable? John hesitated. Yes, he had decided objections. He halft wished himself out of this scrape. "There was a boy shut up in that trunk, was there?" questioned the conductor, narrowly watching John, who started visibly. "Do you think a boy could live till this time shut up like that?" added the conductor, in a sterner voice. "Iâ€"don‘t know," said John, with a catch in his voice. Running away to sea thus far had proved a doubtful pleasure. "That‘s a thing you should have thought of before trying such a foolâ€" hardy trick as this," said the conducâ€" tor. "If you wanted to go to sea, why didn‘t you do it like a man, and not sneak off like a thief? "Where‘s your check?" said the John stood abashed, terrorâ€"stricken, too, at the thought of what might be Elmer‘s fate. "You want to go to sea, do youi" continued the conductor, tronically. "Iâ€"don‘t â€" know," _ faltered John. "But I want to find the trunk." "Naturally you do," mercilessly said the conductor. "I should suppose you would after leaving a boy in a dangerâ€" ous situation like that." "Oh, sir, if you know anything about Elmer, please tell me!" with a sharper catch in his voice. "The best thing you can do is to go home and learn the result of your folly! You may be in time to attend the funeral." -ii’oor John!

Unhappy John! He waited; for he didn‘t know what else to do. Fortunately, the trunk was put in right side up, and, for a time, he went quite comfortably. At one of the staâ€" tions, where more trunks were put in, one came crash on top of Elmer‘s.

"Hope they won‘t put in many like that." "Oh, dear!" he groaned. "This is anything but fun." All thisâ€"time other trunks were pilâ€" ing up about him, thus lessening his supply of fresh air.. To add to his discomfort, he began to feel sick. His head achedâ€"yes, and he ached all over. "I‘d give ten dollars to be out of this," he thought. "I wish I hadn‘t come in this sneaking way." He grew sicker. He wondered if ho wore going to die; he was sure he felt sick enough. At last he could endure it no longer. He heard men in the car, and he cried out: "Let me out!" "Hello, there!" exclaimed one of the men. "What‘s that?" They stood still a minute, listening. "Let me out! Oh, let me out! ‘ came in mued tones to their ears. M‘V‘Robbers!" shouted the man, jump ing back. "Thieves in here!" VWTAnd for a few minutes there was quite a lively time in the car. The trunks were pulled out, and guided by a rather stifled howl, Elâ€" mer‘s trunk was broken open, and a miserable, haggard, homesick boy was found. The conductor came along, and Elmer, in a very shamefaced way, conâ€" fessed all about the seaâ€"going plan, but only after various questions from the conductor. Even John might have forgiven him for telling, if he had seen THOUSANDS VisIT GARDENS AT HAMPTON COURT he groaned. "This is ll. Where Canada Hopes to Make a Record "Well," asked the conductor, with a dry smile, "do you want to keep on and go to sea?" what a wretched, homesick boy he was Elmer‘s longing for the sea had cooled. His experience in the trunk had taken the romance out of a sailor‘s life for him. "I‘d rather go home than do anyâ€" thing else in the world," said Elmer, with more energy than he had before displayed. Conductor Parker knew the boy‘s father, and he decided to send Elmer home. He had looked through the train for John, thinking to see if his mind had changed; but no boy anâ€" swering his description was found, as we, who remember his adventure at Dalton Station, know. But Elmer, a sadder and somewhat wiser boy, was left to take the next train home.

Approval, in the report, is given to previous efâ€" forts to encourage the young British immigrant, and it recommends that the age limit for boys be extended from 14 ot 19 years.
