a bucket of whitewash and long
handled brush. He surveyed the
fence, and all sladness lef, him and a
deep melancholy settled down on his
spirit. Thirty yards Of board fence
nine feet high. Life to him seemed
hollow, and existence bat burden.
Sigaing, he diaped his brush and
passed it along the topmost plank; re-
peated the operation; did it again;
compared the insignificant white
washed streak with the far reaching
continent of unwhitewaahed fence,
and sat down on a trse-box disconr-
aged.
He began to think Of the fIn he had
planned for this day, and his sorrows
multiplied. Soon the free boys would
come tripping along on all sorts Of de-
lclous expeditions, and they would
make world Of fun If him for having
to work-the very thought of il burnt
him like FIRE. He got out his worldly
wealth and examined it-=bits OF toys,
marbles and trash; enough to buy an
exchange of work, maybe, but not
half enough to buy so mueh as half an
hoer Of puro freedom. So he returned
h.s Strengthened means to his pocket,
and gave up the idea of trying to buy
the boys. At this dark and hopeless
moment an inspiration burst upon
him! Nothing less than great, mag
nificent inspiration.
He took up his brush and went

in sight presently-the very boy, of
all boys, whose ridicule he had been
dreading. Ben's gait was the hop
skip-and jump-proof enough that his
heart was light and his anticipa,ions
high. He was eating an apple, and
giving long, melodious whoop at in
tervals, followed by deep toned ding
dong-dong, ding-dong- dong, for he was
personating steamboat. As he drew
near, he slackened speed, took the
middle Of the street, leaned far over
to starboard, and rounded-to ponder
ously and with laborious pomp and
clrcumstance-fo he was personating
the big Missouri" and considered
himself TO be drawing nine feet of
water. He was boat and captain and
engine bells combined, so he had to
imagine himself standing on his own
hurricane deck giving the orders and
then executing them:
''Stop her, sirl Ting-a-ling-ling!"
The headway ran almost ont and he
drew up slowly toward the sidewalk.
