that dog was chewing that box Of parlor
matches--this kind that pop SO when
you step on them. Pa was just going to
set down when tho whole air was filed
with dog and Pa and rockets and every
thing. When / got in there, Pa had
sofa pillow trying to put the dog out,
and in the meantime Pas linen pants
were afire. grabbed pail of this in
digo water that they had been rinsing
clothes with and throwed it on Pa, or
there wouldn't have been place on him

and told me to go to Gehenna. Ma says
that's the new hell they haye got up in

coatts,l blazed up, and roman candle
was firing blue and red balls at his legs,
and a rocket got into his white vest.

mad and stepped into the doorway. 1t
was about o'clock then, and Pa was
tired, and felt sorry for him, and went

CHAPTER I.
TIE BOY WITH A LAME BACK


A young fellow who is pretty smart on
general principles and who is always in
good humor went into store the other
morning limping and seemed to be broke
mp generally. The proprietor asked him
II he wouldn't sit down. and he said he
couldn't very well, as his back was lame.
He seemed discouraged, and the proprie-
tor asked him what was the matter.
SWELL" said he as he put his hand on
his pistol pocket and groaned, "there is
no encouragement for q boy to have any
fun nowadays If boy tries to play an
innocent joke, he gets kicked all over the
house." The storekeeper asked him what
had happened to disturb his hilarity.
He said he had played joke on his fa-
ther and had been limping ever since.
"You see, thought the old man was
a little spry. You know he is no spring
chicken yourself, and though his eyes
are not what they used to be yet he can
see pretty girl further than j can. Tho
other day wrote note in q fine hand
and addressed IL to him, asking him to
