The Bubble Boy. ‘
By Charles B. Loomis.
EORGE TRUESDELL had been a
G naughty boy. His mother had said
that as soon as his father came home. he
was to be punished. George sat in his
little attic rOom and looked anxiously
out of the window for his father’s com-
mg
Mr. Truesdcll had gone to town with '
a load of cabbage—he was a farmer—
and George knew that when he came
home and heard that he had been
naughty he would tell him sorrowfully
but firmly ’to go out in the woodshed,
and—he hated to think of what would
follow. After that, however, the skies
,would be clear. But that little five
minutes waswhat bothered him. ‘
“I wish .I had a twin brother who
: didn’t mind a licking, and then when I
3cut up papa’d attend to him and think
it was me.”
What was that speck rising out of the
birches, southeast of the road? Is it a
cow? No; it looks like a bubble as
large as a pumpkin and of all the col-
ors of the rainbow.
Then a gust of wind blows it into his
'room. It hits the shade cord as it
passes it and bursts, and, presto, there
‘stands a little fellow the exact couno
tcrpart of George.
“Hellol ” said George; “who are you '3”
“I’m a boy that loves to be punished.
I love hard work. I love to study. I
love to be sent to bed a half-hour ahead
of time—”
“Why, then you are the fellow I’m
looking for,” said George, impulsively,
“because I hate all those things.
What’ll you take to live up here and
get punished for me and do all my
hard work?” I
“I’ll do it for my board and keep.”
“Bully for you. What’s your name?”
said George.
“Better call me George, as long as
that’s your name. I’m only two min-
utes old, and I hadn’t thought of a
name. But you understand that your
folks are not to know that I’m here.
Whenever I’m needed you’ll hide and
I’ll take your place. The rest of the
time I’ll stay up here and hide under
the bed if anybody comes into the
room. You can smuggle food up to me.
I won’t need muc .”
Just then George looked out of the
window and saw his father driving
home in the ox cart. George groaned'
aloud.
“What’s the matter?”
double, the Bubble Boy.
“0, I’ve been bad, and papa’s goihg_,to
flog me."
“0, let me be flogged instead. You
don’t know how I long to feel a little
pain. I think I’ll like it as much as you
like pie.”
A few minutes later .Farmer Trues—
asked hi;
dell went to the foot of the attic stairs
and called: “George!”
George’s double, with never a word,
walked out to the woodshed. Mr. Trues-
dell took a birch rod down from its
resting place on two nails, and told the
boy to hold out his hand. Up in the
wi"_ , " _ George was staring wildly, and
feveri y breathing.
Phew, what a resounding thwack!
George heard it distinctly. eHe would
have cried out, but his double never
winced. Four cuts of the rod, and
then the double flung his arms around
Mr. Truesdell’s neck and hugged him. I
“Thank you, thank you.” said be. It
had been a pleasure to him. “As good
as pie.” as he had told George.
Mr. Truesd ell was somewhat surprised
at this outburst, but he loved George
dearly, and was overjoyed to think that
the boy could take his punishment inso
good a spirit, so he returned the caress.
Then the Bubble Boy went into the
.lcitchen and kissed Mrs. Truesdell and
said: “I’m sorry I was naughty.” 1
_ According to schedule he should now
ihave gone upstairs to relieve George,
who was wondering what was keeping
_,fhim, but this Bubble Boy was having
{too good a time to go lip into the hot
llittle room. He saw cake and pies and
‘e smelled a good chicken dinner cook-
ng, and as he had never eaten in his
short life, be determined to stay and
,{have something.
f Mr. Truesdell had gone out to feed the
bean, and the double sat down by the

seemed to have mastered small boy dia- '
lect in a surprisingly short space of
time. His mother—she thought she was
his mother-gave him an apple, and .
when dinner was served soon after, he ’
ate three times as much as GeOrge ever ,
Truesdell didn’t know what had come ,
over their boy. '
“George, after dinner I wish you’d ,
harness up Jack,.” said the farmer.
“I’ve got to drive over to the Gages to
get a book on hens that he promised ,
me. I’m going to give you some hens
and let you see what you can make out
of them with the aid of the book. I
don’t take much stock in hen books
myself.”
TheB-ubble Boy smiled, but said noth-
ing. He was toa busy with his third
had finished it he said: “Can I ride
over with you?”
“I dunno. Kinder late for you. Well,
seein’ to-morrow’s your birthday, I’ll
let you.”
So it happened that a few minutes
later George, who had been weeping in
his room, not daring to go down and
expose the trick he had played upon
his father, and yet feeling very hungry
and contrite, heard a sound of wheels
in the yard and looked out of the win-
dow. There he say the Bubble Boy
backing Jack into the wagon. In a
few minutes his father came out of the
house and got into the wagon, and then
rode off, his double driving.
This was too much for the poor boy.
at night of all things. He cast himself
upon the bed and sobbed as if his heart
would break.
He rose from the bed and walked as
noiselessly as he could down the attic
stairs, but his mother, who was putting
Cynthia to bed, heard him, and called
out in an alarmed tone: “Who’s there ‘9”
“It’s me,” said George in a weak
voice.
“You back so soon? Vv .y what’s the
your father ? Tell me, child! ”
"I didn’t go with papa,” sobbed
George. “That’s why I’ve been crying.”
“Why, George, I saw you go,” said his
mother.
“It wasn’t me; it was a Bubble Boy
that floated in this afternoon.”
At- this moment the sound of wheels
was heard in the yard, and George said:
“There they are. They’ll be in in a
minute.”
In less than a minute his father came
in. “0, here you are,” he said to George.
,
“I’M A BOY THAT LIKES TO BE PU}?-
ISHED."
“You ought not to jump out of the back
of the wagon in that way in the dark.
I stopped and called to you and you
didn’t answer and I thought you were
hurt. And then I saw you running to—
ward the house.”
“That wasn’t me, that was the Bub-
ble Boy.”
His father didn’t notice what- he said.
“Where’s that hen book? I want to
show your mother that picture of the
wyandotte.”
“What hen book?”
mystified.
For the next few minutes his answers :
were so bewildering to both parents:
that they finally told him sharply to
go to bed. '
“It doesn’t do to keep a growing boy
up late,” said his father.
As for the double they wouldn’t hear
another word about him.
George went upstairs by way of the
pantry and appeased his appetite some-
what. When he entered his room he
half expected to see his double.
But as we all know Bubble Boys have '
short lives. He looked out of the win-

OTIS CABLES VICTORY.
General Snyder Utterly Rout: Filipi-

WASHINTON, Sept. 27.-A_ dispatch
has been received from Manila by the
war department stating that General
Snyder attacked the position of the in-
surgents five miles' west of Cebu and
destroyed seven forts and quite a num-
ber of smooth bore cannon.
The insurgents were utterly routed,
and Snyder returned with his force to \
Cebu.
The Tennessee regiment was already
aboard transport to come home, but dis-
embarked to take part in the engage-
ment.
The following is the text of General
Otis’ message:
“On Sept. 22 and 28 Snyder attacked
strong insurgent positions about five
miles west of Cebu with 265 officers and
men of the Tennessee" regiment and 517
officers and men of the Nineteenth, Sixth
and Twenty-third infantry and Sixth ar-

Insurgents retreated to new fortifications
far southwest. Snyder returned to Cebu
with Tennessee troops, who had disem-
barked from transport Indiana to take
part in the action. Two companies of the
Nineteenth infantry hold important posi-
tions in the mountains.”
The General Snyder referred to is the

A FORBES! SEN TENCED.
[conned E. hail-mien, n. Clever Crimi-
nal, Gets His Deserts,
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 27.-—Leonard
B. Imboden, president of the Planters’
bank, a “wildcat” concern suppressed
. by the state officials several months ago,
has been found guilty in the criminal
court of forging a draft fon $15,000 with
which he hoped to get a false credit for
his bank and was sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary. Imboden came here
from Texas, where he was pardoned by
Governor Hogg after serving two years
for forgery.
Imboden is one of the remarkable crim-
inals of the day. For years he lived ap-
parently without resources, attempting
to promote banking, cattle and real estate
deals in Kansas, Texas and New Mexico
of such magnitude that they made the
ordinary man gasp with wonder. In ev-
ery prospectus he claimed to have promi-
nent Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia and
New York trust companies behind him.
In the organization of the Planters’ bank
here last winter to make a show of capi-
tal Imboden took in with him a young
man named , S. F. Hancock. Hancock
gave him his note for $25,000 for capital
stock, and Imboden in turn gave Han-
cock a worthless draft on a Nebraska
bank for $15,112. Pretended credits with
the American Exchange bank of St. Lou-
is and Blair & (70., New York, were
found to be a myth, and even the checks
he sent to the secretary of state to pay
for corporation papers went to protest.
The act which led to an examination
of Imboden’s bank and his final arrest
was in accepting a deposit from a
wealthy local cattleman whose confidence
he had gained by letters apparently frogn
eastern capitalists saying his credit was
the best.
Imboden was born in Texas. He is a
great grand nephew of General Imboden,
who served under General Washington
during the Revolutionary war, is a cou-
sin of General Imboden, late of the Con-
federate army, and his parents, both of
whom are now dead, wcrp looked upon
as from the very first families.
Apostolic Delegate to Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.——-The an-
nounCement that Archbishop Chappelle
of New Orleans has been, chosen apos-
tolic delegate for the Philippines attracts
much attention in official and clerical
quarters. The position has been vacant
up to this time, and owing to the large
property interests of the church in the
Philippines, the official status it occupied
under Spain and the influence of the
clergy over the natives, it has been re-
garded as an important factor in recon-
struction. About a year ago the pope
named Archbishop Chappelle as apostolic
delegate for Cuba and Porto Rico, but no
appointment was made for the Philip-
pines and the archbishop of Manila has
continued to exercise chief jurisdiction,
dealing directly with Rome.
Bitten by a Snake.
NYACK. N. Y., Sept. 27.—D. Tracey,
in the employ of the New York Tele-
phone companyat Nyack, was bitten in
the hand by a copperhead snake at IVest
Nyack Monday night. He was promptly
treated by a physician, but his arm and
hand became terribly swollen, and the
man was so delirious through the night
that it took four men to hold him. He
is slightly improved, but in a critical con-
ditiop. The snake, three feet long, was
killed._
