TEDDY'S TRAMP

Teddy disconsolately munched a eoda cracker, wondering the while how ehe had ever come to Insist that a «amp stove was a useless luxury. It iwas her first season in camp, and her brothers had readily enough given In to her demand for ati absolutely correct atmosphere. They had camped In tents on the little lake instead of in ithe comfortable wooden shack on (Lower lake, and they had cooked in •primitive fashion over an open fire.

The boys had done the cooking since they had gone into camp three •weeks before, but it had all seemed so easy that when they wanted to go down the lake to the village she had insisted that it would be no trouble at all to get' her meals.

They had paddled away just as the sun began to tinge the clouds in the east and would not be back before night. Twice Teddy had spilled the bacon into the fire, and as a crowning accident she had set the coffee pot wrong, and that, too, was sliding into the flames, putting out what little fire there was left.

A crashing in the underbrush roused her and she sprang to her feet, nervously handling the revolver the boys had left with her for protection. She raised the glistening weapon as a man burst through the tangle of brush and with a voice that she tried to make stern commanded him to hold up his bands.

They went above his head in an In,*tant and stayed there while he parleyed. Teddy knew that the next thing was to bind her victim, but how 'to do that and retain the revolver was something that was not told in books.

He smiled at her look of helplessness and came a few steps forward. "I am not a tramp or a robber," he said, with a flash of white teeth beneath his mustache. "I saw a fire a .while back and thought that perhaps I might beg some breakfast. I wandered further from our camp than I Intended. I am on the other side of the ridge on Blue lake." "Thtere isn't any breakfast," she said, forlornly. "I spilled the bacon Into the fire and then the coffee pot fell in. I was eating these." She .waved her revolver toward the box of crackers, and the tramp smiled. "If you will take my parole," he suggested, "I'll earn my breakfast. I believe that is the proper thing for a tramp to do."

Teddy lowered her gun. He probably was a tramp, but he had nice eyes and a pleasant smile, and she felt that she could trust him. "If you will set the table," he called, Til have things ready in a jiffy."

For a moment Teddy paused. She did not quite like the idea of eating at the same table with a tramp, and she felt that he must be a tramp. None of the campers she knew wore such outrageous garments. But the smell of coffee and the frying fish decided her, so she set two plates.

Skilfully he dished up the fish and took the coffee from the fire. He was even more expert than the boys. Probably that was because he had to camp out the year around.

The breakfast put her in an excellent humor and when the tramp suggested that if she would lend him a gun he would try and get something foi1 dinner, she loaned him a shotgun without a thought until he had left the camp. Then the realization of what Bob would say should he come home and find the rifle gone, led her to follow the trail the tramp had taken.

She soon overtook him and he looked up with a smile at her approach. "Come to share the fun?" he asked pleasantly. Her blush told its own story and he threw his head back and laughed. "I was going to bring the gun back," he declared. "Do you really think I am a tramp?" "No," her voice lacked conviction. "But, you see, you are not like the boys." "Possibly they would be like me," he suggested, "if they were in camp without ladies. Khaki and leggings are all very pretty, but there is more comfort in an old suit that won't be hurt if you do take a notion to wade a trout stream before breakfast."

This was plausible enough, but Teddy reflected that plausibility was the stock in trade of tramps and she was not convinced.

After dinner he entertained her with stbries oft the woods and neither real lzed how late it had grown until a boat shot around the point and the boys waved a welcome.

They swarmed up the beach a few moments later, and Teddy stared as they warmly greeted the tramp. "I didn't know that you knew Mr. Charteris," said Bob in surprise. "He came for breakfast," explained Teddy. "And having had the breakfast, stayed to get the dinner," Chartert added with a laugh. "You see I was out early this morning and got too far away from camp to make It for breakfast. Then I saw this fire and came over." "Hope you'll come over often," said Bob heartily. He liked the young railroad magnate. "Thank you," said Charteris, seeing a second invitation in Teddy's brown eyes. I think I shall be over very often—if Miss Trevor does not mind such trampish fellows hanging about the camp." "I rather like tramps," said Teddy demurely, "especially before breakIfast."

So Charteris came again.
