Matt and yet they never suspected how
far she went in pamppring that boy-how
she ran upstairs and downstairs at his
beck and call, and brushed his clothes and
BACKED his boots; how she got up and
gave him the most comfortable chair when
he came into the room; how she allowed
him to rule over the man-servant and the
maid-servant, and even the stranger with
in her gates 1t was wonder that Matt
was not disagreeable despot, instead ola
Jolly, play-loving, good-tempered urchin,
with but now and then occasional moods
OF imperiousness and sell-wiI.
1t was only upon one point that Matt
could not have his own way. That her
boy should 60 regularly to school, his
mother insisted with unAinching frmness.
Mats tears in this case had no effect.
Even shutting himselfin his room and re-
fusing his meals was in vain, although it
worked well in other cases. Every morn
ing saw Matt, with good lessons or bad, on
his way to school, He felt himself abused,
and fully justified in running away from
such systematic cruelty. His forehead
ached with study, and his fingers were
lame with holding the pen.
As for Bob, his life was made up of I'M
pleasantneSses; Of choppng wood, of weed
ing, and hoeing and study. All was a
sombre, dark monotony Of duties; and no
baseball to speak off crept into the DESC
latiou of his days. His back ached with
work, and his legs were ready to drop-at
least that was Bob's story and he was de-
termined to live no longer on the farm.
Once in the city he could enter some big
merchantile house, like the smart boys he
was so fond Of reading about, and soon be-
come junior partner and marry-no, he
wouldn't marry the o d fellows daughter!
he hated girls, anyhow, and he would leave
that part out.
When the boys reached the base ball
ground, they found the Excelsiors in fair
way to defeat. They had had but one in
ming, and already the PIumtowu boys had
scored six to their nothing.
Matt slipped into the game with the de-
termination to win the victory or perish in
the fray Oh how that boy worked! You
would never have suspected that his head
was aching and fingers lame. To watch
his stout young legs scud from base to
base who would have supposed that they
had been too weary to bear him to farmer
Browns that morning for the milk?
