AT POINT PLEASANT
Story of Gratitude, Love and
Marriage.
By BRYANT C. ROGERS.
Dick Aimes and his crowd fixed it
up in^ midwinter to go camping for
a month the next summer, and when
the long-d'ferred date arrived they
took possession of Point Pleasant
without consulting anybody but them
selves.
TIic cottage standing back in the
woods facing the highway had gen
erally been occupied in summer and
the crowd would be trespassers, b-t
that concerned them not a bit. They
would sail, fish, clam, bathe, sir.';,
cook and have a good time generally,
and leave other people to have the
game. It wasn't exactly selfishness,
but the way campers have, whether
on the coast or far inland.
The campers had been camping for
three days and had just got things
in order when a young girl accom
panied by a man servant came down ?
to the point. Dick Aimes had gone i
off clamming alone, but the others
were on hand, and to them the girl
said:
"If you have a lease of this ground
please let me see it."
"We-we just camped down here,"
stammered one of the boys.
"So I see."
"We thought lt was free."
"That would be a happy condition
of affairs. As I have leased the cot
tage and grounds, I am afraid I shall
have to ask you to vacate."
"What-right away?"
"You could probably go this after
noon."
"We could hire the grounds from
you?"
"Hardly."
The girl closed the matter by walk
ing away, and was followed by her
attendant, after he had paused long
enough to say:
"If you are here in the morning
I'll have your outfit dumped into the
sea."
After a bit Dick Almes returned
from, his clamming and was made
wise to what had happened.
"A good-looking girl?" lie asked.
"Finest ever."
"Think she is engaged?"
"Didn't look like it."
"Didn't ask for me?"
"Didn't even know you lived."
"But she shall know."
"Ch, you can't buy her off. Wo
tried that."
"You boneheads put it in a busi
ness way. instead of appealing to w-:r
sympathies. Has she got a papa and I
mamma-a brother or sister?"
"I don't know."
"Well, it's for me to find ouL You
"Tramp," Added the Aunt.
fellows go ahead and pack up and
get along down the shore four or five
miles. If anything happens to me
you are to know nothing about me.
My name is to be Mud to this crowd."
"Ilut what's game?" asked the boys
in chorus.
"I am going to fall in love and get
married. Can't give you further par
:icuhirs now. Have 1 got on my oldest
Iuds?" (
"'Regular tramp outfit." '*
"And I look?"
"Thirty days for vagrancy."
When the others left camp and
jailed away Dick Aimos was not with (
hem. He went through the woods .
o the highway, and just at sundown
;hat evening a tramp might have been .
>een approaching the Point Pleasant ,
cottage leased for the summer by .
Uiss Ida Wellman, portrait painter
md authoress. An aunt was with her .
LS a chaperon. She had a man of all ,
vork and a female cook. ,
The two ladies sat on the veranda ]
is the tramp approached. If they J ,
ladn't been sitting there he wouldn't ?
lave approached when he did. As a 3
natter of fact, he had been hidden in ?
t thicket opposite the house for tho j
?ast hour waiting for the fitting <
nomcnt to make his debut. <?
"Wanderer!" said Miss Ida as she t
aught sight of the man.
"Tramp!" added the aunt with \
erppicacity. * :
"ile totters as he walks. He ma7
ave had no food for two or three
ays."
"He may be tottering to get syn:- I d
athy." j d
"Oh. aunt, how hard you are! Mi?- I ?
jrtunc may come to any of us. Thi 1
ian is ragged, but ho hasn't a viciou ; !
?ok. On Ute contrary-" t
And ten feet from the veranda 0
teps, and just as he was lifting his I S
I
cap In salute, the tottering tramp
tottered to his fall.
The aunt called for "Charles."
Miss Ida cried out a sympathetic
word and hurried down the steps.
"Charles" came hurrying from the
back yard with cudgel In his h..nd
and started to rush upon the fallen
tramp without ceremony.
"We must set him Into the house
and to* bed," commanded the girl.
"He may be garbed as a tramp, but
he's noe one. You both ought to see
that. He surely needs kindness and
shall have it. Poor man! Do you
th'ni: you can walk upstairs with
help?"
"Pll try," he groaned.
"Help him. Charles. Put him in the
back bedroom, and I'm going to tele
phone to the doctor in the cottage
above. He has surely endured hard
ships and suffering and may be com
ing down with a fever. Gently. Charles.
Don't handle him as if he were a bar
rel of potatoes!"
Dick Aimes was almost carried up
stairs, and he surely made it an hard
for Charles as he could. In return
the man no sooner had him above
stairs than he shook him to and fro
and muttered with savage tempert
"You get well within an hour, you
blamed old tramp, and take yourself
out of this or I'll break every bone
in your bedy!"
The doctor came and felt Dick's
pulse and looked at his tongue and
asked many questions, and then went
do vu and reported to Miss Ida:
"I am not quite sure of the case
yet. One thing I do know, however
he's no tramp."
"Then what?"
"He visits the manicurist and the
Turkisl* hath; he is an athlete; he is
temperate. In fact, he is a gentleman
and the son of a wealthy man. His
general health Is good and I can't
quite make out what has caused his
present state, though I expect to find
ai: improvement tomorrow."
"Aunt, there's the foundation here
for a good 6tory," observed Miss Ida
when the doctor had departed. "Om
stranger was yachting with friends.
They were wrecked. He was cast
ashore more dead than alive. Per
haps all others were lost. The rag
ged garments he has on were given
him by fishermen. The wreck may
have happened a hundred miles away.
P.eing penniless, he has had to walk.
He may have had a slight sunstroke
and had an attack of asphasia. It
may be a week before his name
comes bark."
"And then will come gratitude, ad
miration, love and marriage," sneered
the relative.
"How mean of you lo say that! Am
I not devoted to my painting and
authorship? It may be the plot for a
novel."
Next morning Charles was told to
take some gruel und tea up to the
ii-valld and report on his condition.
He came downstairs on the run to
exclaim:
"He's out of bed and dressed!"
"He is?" !
"And he knows his name!"
"What is it?"
"And he slammed me against the
wall!"
"What for?"
"And he's come down and is sit
ting on the veranda to have a word
with you, Miss Wellman, before he
goes."
"Well?" queried the young lady, as
she passed out and stood before the
stranger.
"Can I come back in another suit
of clothes, carrying my cardcase and
letters of reference, and tell you all
about it?"
"Then-then there is some nng
to tell?"
"Yes. and apologies to offer."
"You may come." she said slowly,
after a long look at him.
It was as they were leaving the
cottage for the city in the fall that
the aunt said:
"If you are going to Europe on
your bridal tour next summer-"
"Oh. you can tag along behind us,
you dear old goose!" laughed the
girl. "My tramp may eat me up, you
know."

palate of a weary world. It proves
Lhe futility of man's wisdom. He
might have guessed at everything else

lever guessed an onion. Science may
?educe a new star before it becomes
risible, or radium before its discovery,
jut this succulent, fragrant, starry
;egetable would have gone uninvented
orever, had not its own insinuating,
'et not bashful qualities forced them
selves into tear-brimmed eyes and
Iquescent anticipatory lips. With

ihould we view the spectacle of na

miting of mere clay into a vegetable
