tea at the ‘Edward,’ he added in a whisper. “Thirty- 
five cents for the tea and ten cents for the pretty girl that 
served it. And it’s two fares into Gloucester,” he groaned, 
“and allowance day two weeks away.” And off the mis- 
erable one set on his first lap to the East Gloucester sum- 
mer colony. “Five cents for the tea, and thirty cents for 
the ‘Hotel Edward,’” I chortled as the Summer Boy 
feebly waggled his hand to me from the corner. 
But it was worth the price, every cent of it, for | 
had a cup myself, yea three of them, a half hour later 
with the genial proprietor. j 
The tea was wonderful, of course—purest Ceylon with 
gold lights a-float at the bottom of the cup. The table 
appointments were without reproach, immaculate, deli- 
cate and in perfect taste; a blue-eyed beauty from the 
student ranks of the Salen Normal served us with deft 
and faultless touch, while between the artfully screened 
in loggia, where we sipped our tea and ate of boiled 
lobster, I looked out on a smiling, azure sea where snowy 
sails turned rose in the afterglow of sunset, and from 
within doors there drifted out in the quiet air the 
tender strains of a ’cello with piano accompaniment. 
And delightful it was, chatting with mine host, hear- 
ing of the evolution at his hands of this hotel from a 
quaint very old New England hovrestead into a de luxe 
suburban hostelry, where every conceivable comfort for 
the guests crossing its threshold is considered. Before 
us rolled an emerald greensward, reclaimed from scraggle 
of bush and briar, and below I saw the top of a huge 
derrick where stone is being excavated at the water’s 
edge to form a swimming pool. And _ following the 
sweep of his hand, I saw, too, where one day, with the 
co-operation of others interested he hopes to see a cement 
esplanade along the picturesque stretch of cliff to. the left, 
skirting to a considerable distance this lovely shore. 
But of all the talk over the teacups, I believe the 
thing I enjoyed most was the glimpse | had of the utterly 
kindly personality opposite re. Looking out at one time 
upon the velvet turf we saw a single robin hopping about. 
“One of my little friends,” remarked my host, whistl- 
ing a few notes of greeting. “He’s too busy getting his 
supper now to notice me,” he added as his robin hopped 
on about his labors. “But at night he comes to a branch 
just outside my window and we have a great time chat-

ting together. It seems an odd thing to say,” added the 
“Edward’s” proprietor with the shyness of a boy, “but I 
somehow feel that we each know what the other is talk- 
ag about.” 
As | dropped a word of sympathetic understanding 
he went on with a gentle smile: 
“IT had that basin hewn out of the rock on the lawn 
yonder, and in it is turned fresh water every day,—so 
that the birds hereabouts are sure of a bath and a good 
drink whenever they want them,” he added with a quiet 
chuckle. 
A wonderful moon of palest pearl floated out of the 
rosy mist at the blue rim of the far horizon, as at length 
I arose to leave this host of the big, big, heart. 
“Hands that are mindful of the birds of the air,” I 
thought as | descended to the drive below, “are pretty 
good hands in which to entrust oneself for the summer!” 
WHEN THE Boston & MAINE reorganization plan 
is completed, when the New Haven resumes its payments 
of dividends and when the Federal Board succeeds in 
conciliating the present labor difficulties, the railroad 
directors will breathe easier. The railroads have no: 
been enjoying prosperity and ease the last few years. 
It is a long road that has no turning and eventually 
America will awaken to the fact that whatever cripples 
the prosperity and efficiency of the railroads of the nation 
strikes at the most vital spot in our economic develop- 
rent.- The position of responsibility which the employers 
enjoy because of the importance of their work, ought 
to teach them that caution and fair play are worthy 
principles to govern their activities.
