PAMS ETCHER FOUND ARTIST
MlriutM Print, wVlch (r,<ignt PM,
to SoldUr of th** American Kx-
^ p*dition*ry Fore*.
Alonso C. Webb, the Amertcnn sol
dier who bus won sudden -fame in
P»rl* art circles by Ilia distinctive
etchings, xus content to puss hl« prints
out tunong his friends. One day, how
ever, while he wa* having his etchings
printed by the old-fashioned process
culled “tallle douce,” the printer said:
“Why don’t you sell these etchings?"
“They're not good enough,” replied
Webb.
“You’re crazy,” suld the printer;
"you wouldn’t mind selling them,
would you? Don’t you need the
money?” I
“Yes, Ood knows I need It, but I
never thought of selling these things,”
rejoined Webb.
The old man gave Webb a note to
« dealer In the Hue de Kivoll who took
“on depot” one each of live prints.
The very next day Webb received
h letter at bis home at Bellevue, ask
ing for three more to replace those the
dealer hud sold tld* nrst day.
“Tlu»t must have been a happy morn
Ing at Bellevue," I remarked, some
what stirred at this turning point in
the life story.
"Not especially,” Webb replied. "I'm
partly' Scotch and don't often get ex
cited. I take good luck Just as I take
had. I rarely even tell about good
lu< k."
“But don't you deprive yourself of
a delightful thrill?”
“Tlie pleasure la no less In the hr
gregnte. I take It In a quieter form;
It lasts longer and there 1* no re

. Shadrach stared disconsolately at
the uncleared breakfast table.
He was sick of doing dishes; yes,
sir, sick of It. Why In tiinkwt he’d
made that fool compact with Jerry—
The door opened uud Jerry mmself
came la.
‘‘Ain’t that teakettle hot yet?”. Ufi.
demanded, Jerking off the stove-
cover. “I snum. If you ain’t sot
there an’ let the fire go out, Shadrach
Hull!”
"I can’t do everything t’ once!"
snapped the long-suffering Shadrach.
"There’s work enough In this house
for ten men an’ a boy,’ / ‘ he growled.
Captain Jerry chuckled us he re
stored the fire.
“Well, you had your choice. Shad,"
he answered. “If you’re gettln’ tuck
ered out, we can , swap ’round a
spell—’’
“Humph fLot you know' ’bout
housework an’ cookin’ an—an takln’
cure o’ liens."
The teakettle was steaming now
and Jerry snatched It up.
“What you cal’latln’ on havin’ for
supper, Shad?” )ie asked suspicious
ly, pausing at the door.
"Dunno." replied his partner above
the tumult la the dlsh-pau. “Why?”
"Beans would go durn good.” sug
gested Jerry mildly. "S’pose—"
“No, I couldn't!" promptly. “Tou
won’t eat ’em when I cook ’em. Jer
ry Wel.b. an’ I ain’t foio’ t’ do all
that work for the hens—1 swan I
ain’t" *

“D’you mean It?” gaspe<l Jerry In-
credulously. “By gum, I’ 11 come then,”
lie promised, forgetting In his delight
the hated compact.

The Captain trudged guiltily home
wards In the early dusk. He had eaten
a supper the like of which he hadn t
tasted since the day* of Mellssy, but
the Joy of It was already fading. Con
science. like gn avenging angel, was
reminding him now of the broken com-
paot.

fit for tbe g'M|*. I’lien \le?l**y died 1
and Jerry wh* left alone.
It wmm Shadrach who Imd eorub to
Hie teacue with u proposal that had
sounded plaiiHible enough.
He, Sbadruclp lived alone and tbr
b.oise was “a plenty Mg'’ for Jerry (
"bung up Ids hat” there, bav.
“You can’t rook no taore’n a baby, 1
Jerry,” Shadrach had exp<»stulated.
“Now, I’m use.) t’ gettln’ my victuals
’tbout a woman fussin’ ’round an* t
cookin’ for one more—sho! forNLJimn
like me. It’s a cinch, Jerry 1”
It had proved a winning. If mis
leading, argument and Jerry had cast
in his lot irrevocably with bis boy- ‘
hood chum.
To guard against desertion of the
plan by either one, Shadrach bad J
dratvn up a compact In which he him- !
self was to share half thp living’ ex- !
ponses,, serve as cook, and, In short,
relieve Jerry of the burden of house
hold cares. - ' •)
The Captain, on Ids part, was to ,
“shoulder” the other half of the ex- j
peases, keep the pair provided with (
fish ami keep himself Immune from the
wiles of scheming widows, especially
the Widow Tripp.
Shadrach had deemed It wise to take
this precaution with Jerry, for the
Widow Tripp lived Just across the road
and you never can tell—
If Jerry rebelled at this clause of
the compact, he gave no sign of It to
the watchful Shadrach.
Hut this morning, aa he walked to
the shore, Jerry’s contented mind ua\
It must be admitted, harboring revolt.
Shadrach had aerred one of hi* fa
mous "odds and end*” breakfasts that
morning, and H waa only the hope that
Mias Sally would be frying doughnuts
