son explained to them that in the Drop*
ic jt waa no small matter to keep a rail¬
way line clear of trees and vines, and
sometimes the vines would grow over

essary to keep men at work along the
track to cut away tha vegetation where
it threatened to interfere with toe teams,
and in tha rainy season the force was
BometiinCB doubled. There te one

growth. Tho roots of the vines and
trees beaoma' interlsoed in the embank

prevent its bring washed away by heavy
rains. Bo you see there is, after *11, a
saving in keeping the railway in repair.”

now their thoughts were best upon dig

chsappcdnted when they asked for it; but
finally, at one of the stations, when Fred
pronounced toe word “ mangosteen,” a
native hold up a bunch of fruit and
nodded, Th© doctor looked at the
butieh and nodded likewise, and Fred
apeediJy paid for to© prize,
Perhaps we had better let Fred tell th©
story of the. utaagoateen, which he did
in his first letter from Buitem-org :
“ We have found to© prince af firaite,
and its name fe mimgostevm, Itfe about
the a cre of a pippin apple, and of a pur¬
ple oofor—a very dark purple, too. 'The
husk, or rind, is about Irnif an inch

girl, sho one day took it into her curly
head to rim away.
Her mother was busy nt work and did
not mm .her until she had been gone
some minute*. Then she looked out and
saw Patty’s pink dress, like u little flow¬
er, moving along slowly away down the
dusty road
There was no one to send for the run¬
away, so the tired mother had to leave
the bread burning in the oven, and the
baby crying in the cradle, and start out
herself in the hot sun.
There was an old man coming along
the road toward Patty, an old man that
she knew very wi ll, but was really afraid
of him.
She need not have been, for he was
kind and pleasant; but he was a queer,
simple old man, and everybody called
him old Daddy Morse,
Patty of the was road so and afraid that she turned
out went along dose by
the fence to get by him,
H» saw the little girl was running
away, however, and, in the kindness of
his heart, he went and picked Patty up
to carry nor back, and save her mother
the long, warm walk.
How frightened and angry little Patty
was I How she did kick and scream 1
The old man held on all tlie same,
and tried to soothe her by gentle wards;
but he,n«ghi as well have tallied to a
thhiicter-shower.
She screamed as loud as she coaid till
she-Suet her mother and found herself
safe in hex arms, and even then she
sobbed and cried for a long time.
Her mother talked to her about run*
ning away, told her it was naughty, and
that Daddy More© was very kind to
bring her back, but Fatty still sobbed
and sighed, and could not gat over her
frigid.
She shat the outside door, and stood
by toe window watching iu fear that the
old naan would come again.
Pretty soon her brother Allie came
whis tling «evpw the yard. Patty oyicned
the door a little crack, “M’in, Allie,”
