At frst I couldn't sleep at all; later on
couldn't stay awake. My wife said that
was utterly dull, and for once l agreed
with her-which made life all the more I'M
interesting for me.
"What you need is exercise" said she to
me. "Where are those ten mile walks you
were going to take before breakfast? How
about that plan FOR moving a few acres
every afternoon in order to enjoy the scent
of the hay2 And, speaking of moving,
why don't you cut the grass in our front
yard and lay out a tennis court2 You know
that when Cousin Nina comes the first thing
she'll think of will be tennis"
"Tll fix the court right up, this forenoon
said 1. Somehow, with all the facilitating
influence of rusticity I haven't yet lost the
a~lacrity with which l can promise to dc
things. This was at breakfast, and when ]
emerged from tho house | saw my red haired
neighbor. Sydney Drew. sitting on the bot
tom of q pail, in the shade Of his barn, whit

Good morning, Mr.. Drew" I said, ap-
preaching him. How do you feel to-
day?" 5000
Poorly, very poorly, thank you." replied
the robust young man.
"Pm afraid you don't take enough exer-

"Oh, no.; you'll like it," said 1; "espec-

teach you the game"

Nuisance sits down to think, as he does
whenever Tommy will let him, one would
suppose from his attitude that he, like Sgd
ney, expected to be removed in the flower
malady.
But Sydney now WAS remarkably cheer
ful. He trundled the lawn mower up and
down in the sun, while I sat under Il shady
tree and hunted up measurements with
which l was perfectly familiar. Every
time he paused, which he did quito fire.

the shade where / lay looked very attrac-
tive. | told him a story conveying the idea
that Nina absolutely wouldn't play tennis
on a lawn unless it had been properly
mown. by noon our front yard looked as
if it had been shaved. and Sydney had OBJ
tanned a great deal of healthful exercise.
Then directed Tommy to stake off the
distances, while Sydney prepared the ma
teriai to be used in a patent marker which l
had Brought from the city.

said Tommy. "iio's tbs best dog for that
kind o'work YOU ever see. Just let him lie

somebody drives him away. He never
moves of his own accord"
BY one O'Clock when Maude came out to
see how the work progressed, and to ask if
l was ready. for dinner. / was able to re-
port that the court was satisfactorily laid
out. She asked mo if | didn't feel better
for the exercise, and l replied without u
blush that it had been very beneficial.
On the morning of the day when Nina
WAS to arrive. l found Sydney in his favor
lite place in the shadow of the barn. He ap-
peared to be somewhat embarrassed ut Soc
ing me. NuiSance was with him and |
noticed at once that n wonderful and un-
lovely change had come over that wretched
animal' appearance. His coat, which had
been of a uniform dull yellow, was now
striped after the manner of the zebra, but
this decoration did not become him so we'll
