matter mother re plied Pinky as he was usually called Are you sick my son persisted the anxious parent Never was belter in all my life mother answered Then you are up to some mis chief 1 exclaimed Mrs Isnt it time to get up J Time to It isnt four oclock yet Go to bed or Ill tell your father as soon as he gets home What are you up to Pinky demanded the mother when assured that the boy was not ill Up to bed if it isnt four oclock replied Pinky as he went up to his chamber leaving his mother to wonder why he was up at that un seemly hour Pinky had the reputation of being a goodfornothing hoy and it was certainly true be was often in mischief His father worked for Deacon who besides be ing one of the select of Pine- point kept the village store carried on a large farm ran a sawmill a gristmill and cideimiii He was the great man of the town father was a good soil of a man but the deacon had a mortgage on his cottage overlooking the mill- pond and he was wholly under the influence of the magnate of Perhaps it would have been better for the boy if his father had been more independent His em ployer was a pillar of the church and interpreted the Scriptures very literally especially that often quoted prove of Solomon in regard to the use of the rod The deacon emphatically insisted that Pinky was- a goodfornothing and that hi father spoiling him because he spared the rod- Un happily for he did not spare It neither did the schoolmaster and poor Pinky was the victim of frequent flagellations Nobody could Bay that he was any better tor the wales on hia hands or the stripes on his back He got used to the whipping and became quite a stoic in the face of punish ment Me was not a bad boy at heart though he was often in mischief When the deacons cow was found one morning on the roof of the cider mill was a matter of course that Pinky was the engineer of the fun as he called it Hut his father offered to let him without a whipping if he would loll how he got the poor cow on the roof for which the great man severely reproved the indolent parent He and his companions had rigged a sort of gangplank to the low roof and coaxed the cow to follow him of corn Not a few enterprises as this had been carried out and guilty or innocent Pinky had to father them all Hut there was one affair which was still a mystery when the youth left his tied before four in the morn ing The deacon had a shotbag twenty silver dollars in his drawer They disappeared one day about a month before Pinky had never before been accused of steal ing but he was promptly charged with the theft He denied it with all bis might and main Deacon insisted that he should be whipped till he confessed his milt He was whipped till mother interfered and a family quarrel impended but Pinky did not confess and declared he would not if he was beaten to death The circumstances rendered it plain that either Pinky or Fred Ben der who boarded in the deacons family was the thief Fred was not lo mischief and roguery but he tut the reputation among pointed at him he protested that he was innocent pinky went back to bis room at the command of his mother but he did not go to bed again He placed himself at the attic window from which he could see the pond Things looked strange to him He had been waked by ihe sound of rushing water in the outlet He looked out of his window but could see nothing till daylight Then he discovered that the pond no longer contained any water The next thing he discovered was that Fred Bender was making his way over the bottom to the middle of the pond He was examining the sandy earth very attentively After a search of some time be picked up something put it in the side pocket of bis sack coat and hastened to ward the house where he boarded he understood the matter perfectly and taking off his shoes he crept down the stairs and went out at the back door His mother did nor hear him ibis time He reached the road just as Fred came up the bottom of the pond near the outlet gate by which the water could be drawn off He saw that it was hoisted as he knew Iwfore that it must have been See here Fred Bender what are you doing out in this time of the morning demanded as stiffly as though he bad a perfect right to ask the question None of your business replied Fred but anyone could see that there was not much heart in his words I know what you were doing at the bottom of the pond without ask ing added very decidedly It was you who stole that shot bag with in it Fred Bonder Who says so asked very tamely I say so and I am going to prove it you are twenty seconds old I have been whipped for taking it Served you right for everybody knew you were the thief If I was how happens the shot- bag and the money to be in your coat pocket at this moment Who says it is there J demanded Fred trying to gather himself up in his own defence I say so When you were sus pected you took the shotbajr went out in my fathers punt and dropped it into the water Last night you hoisted the Outlet gate of the and got the money again Thais the whole of it Now let me see what you have in your coat pocket I guess not replied Fred moving toward the house I want any sue fooling its this Pinky seized him by the collar of his coat and something like a fight ensued It was a sharp struggle and in a moment more both were squirming like eels on the ground Just at that moment a gentleman reached the spot but Pinky had al ready won the victory and rose from the dirt with the shotbag in his hand 1 am glad to see you Mr Thorough Pinky gasping for breath to speak after ihe encounter I wish you would take the bag sir The victor held out the bag to him and he took it The gentleman was the new school master who bad been in the only six weeks He knew all about the theft of zo for the deacon had insisted that he should the al leged culprit He declined to dp it and at present he was in great danger of loosing his position But he had talked with and he was satis fied of his innocence In fact Pinky had turned over a new leaf under the influence of the new teacher He had reached the heart and soul of the boy He did not whip him or any other bey and Pinky had not been in any scrape since he came Pinky told his story of what he had seen from his window and Fred was convicted on the spot The went out for his morning walk and his presence was very opportune What under the canopy does all this mean stormed Deacon rushing to the spot though he had only discovered that his mill- pond was empty Who that gate and let all the water off It appears to have been done by Fred Bender replied M Thorough very quietly Not a bit of it protested the magnate looking at Pinky Fred wouldnt do such a thing Water is low and it will take three days for the pond to fill up so that can run the gristmill and the saw mill It was the same thing as taking out of my pocket Then perhaps this will compen sate you Deacon added the teacher handing him shot- bag It was that goodfornothing Pinky that drew off the and whats The very that young rascal stole from me You ought to have flogged the young whelp within an inch of his life ft was Fred who stole he bag and drew off the water interposed Mr Thorough If you choose to flog him within an inch of his life it is not my affair though I should not do it The migrate was too much for him He sent bis boarder away to his home in a distant State Amos apologised to his ion for whipping him on account of the shotbug He talked a great deal with Mr Thorough about the good- fornothing and the Deacons brutal theory was at a discount In Pinky was flogged no more and there isnt a better behaved young fellow in the pUcc lib Around lis PINE ORCHARD The following officers of S of were elected last

build large houses to keep fast horses and fine turnouts And because the income from the farm is not sufficient to keep up with the expenses the cry is raised of hard times Then the population has gradually been leaving the rural dis tricts and crowding into the cities crossing the line dissatisfied with the slow and sure life on he farm till now farms have decreased in value fully one third another reason for the cry bard times And while tie influx of population to the city lasted an unstable boom has gone on there till now the react on has come and real estate in cities of Ontario is away down then another cry is raised of hard times Then the restrictive trade policy of Canada and the United States is against a large majority of the people but ihey do not seem to see it So much is it against that the market value of much that is raised for sale is below toe paying point hence hard times But all these draw backs are brought about by the peo ple In this great agricultural coun try where all the wealth comes from the soil people will find out to neglect it means poverty not only to farmers but to all En every business and profession Then our young men and women will come
