liceman. | took Pas meerscham pipe
case and tied little piece of ice over the
end the stem goes in, and after Pa and
Ma was asleep we went in the room, and
l put the cold muzzle of the ice revolver
to Pas temple, and when he woke up
told him if he moved muscle or said q
word l would spatter the wall and the
Counterpart with his brains. He closed
his eyes and began to pray. Then stood
off and told him to hold up his hands
and tell me where the valuables was. He
held up his hands and sat up in bed and
sweat and trembled and told us the
change was in his left hand pants pock-
ct and that Mas money purse was in the
bureau drawer in the cuff box, and my
chum went and got them.
PA shook so the bed fairly squeaked,
and told him was q good notion to
shoot few holes in him just for fun,
and he cried and said. Please. Mr.. Bur
glar, take all have got, but spare poor
old mans life, who never did any harm!
Then told him to lay down on his stom-
ach and pull tho clothes over his head
and stick his feet over the footboard, and
he did it, and l took shawl strap and
was strapping his feet together. and he
was scared. tell you. 1t would have
been all right if Ma hadn't woke up. Pa
trembled so Ma woke up and thought ne
had the ager, and my chum turned up
the light to see how much there was in
NJ, onI Mo con vpa onI clyaI ~, n
what was doing, and told her was a
burglar, robbing the house.
II don't know whether Ma tumbled to
the racket or not, but she threw q pillow
at me and said. Get out of here, or I'll
take you across my knee, and she got up,
and we run. She followed US to my room
and took Pas jointed fishpole and mauled
US both until don't want any more
burgling. and my chum says he will never
speak to me again. Ididn't think Ma had
SO much sand. She is brave as lion,
and Pa is regular squaw. Pa sent for
me to come to his room this morning,
but amt well and am going out to Pc
waukee to camp out till the burglar scare
is over. If Pa comes around here talk
ing about war times and how he faced
the enemy on many well fought field,
you ask him if he ever threw any bur-
glars down n banister. He is frod, Pa
is, but Ma would make good chief of
police. and don't you let it escape you. ,"
And the boy took his canned ham and
lobster, and tucking some crackers inside
the bosom of his blue flannel shirt start
ed for Pewaukee. while the grocer looked
at him as though he was hard citizen.

The grocery man said he had better let
the boy 60. as his parents would not like
to have their little pet locked up. So the
policeman let 60 his ear, and he threw
the empty bottle at a coal wagon, and
after the policeman had brushed the
champagne off his coat and smelled of
his fingers and started off the grocery
man turned to the boy, who was peeling
q cucumber, and said:
"Now, what kind of circus have you
been having, and what do you mean by
destroying wine that way, and where
are your folks:"
well, I'll tell you. Ma she has got
the hay fever and has gone to Lake Su-
perior to see if she can't stop sneezing,
and Saturday Pa said he and me would
go out to OconomOwoc and stay over
Sunday and try and recuperate our
health. Pa said it would be good joke
for me not to call him Pa. but to act as
though was his younger brother, and
we would have real nice time.
81 knowed what he wanted. He is an
old masher, that's what's the matter with
him, and he was going to play himself
for bachelor. Oh, thunder, got onto
his racket in a minute. He was in
troduced to some of the girls. and Satur-
day evening he danced till the cows come
home. At home he is awful 'fraid of
rheumatic, and he never sweats or sitsin
a draft, but the water just poured off'n
him, and he stood in the door and let a
girl fan him till was afraid he would
freeze. and just as he was telling girl
from Tennessee, who was joking him
about being a mold bach, that he was
not sure as he could always hold out
woman hater if he was to be thrown into
contact with the charming ladies of the
sunny south pulled his coat and said:
Pa. how do you s'pose Mas hay fever is
tonight? I'll bet she is just sneezing the
top of her head off, Wall, sir, you just
oughten seen that girl and Pa. Pa looked
at me as if was a total stranger and
told the porter if that freckled faced
bootblack belonged around the house he
had better be fired out Of the ballroom,
and the girl said the disgustin thing, and
just before they fired me / told Pa he
had better look out or he would sweat
through his liver pad.
II went to bed. and Pa staid up till the
lights went out. He was mad when he
went to bed, but he didn't lick me cause
the people in the next room would hear
him, but the next morning he talked to
me. He said might go back home Sun
day night, and he would stay day or
two. He sat around on the veranda all

CHAPTER II.
THE BAD BOY AT WORK AGAIN.


OF course all boys are not full of tricks,
but the best of them are. That is. those
who are the readiest to play innocent
jokes and who are continually looking
for chances to make Rome howl are the
most apt to turn out to be first class bust
ness men. There is a boy in The Seventh
ward who is SO full Of fun that some
times it makes him ache. He is the same
boy who not long since wrote note to
his father and signed tho name Daisy to
it and got the old man to stand on a
corner for two hours waiting for the
girl. After that scrape the old man told
the boy that he had no objection to inno-
cent jokes, such as would not bring re-
proach upon him, and as long as the boy
confined himself 10 jokes that would
simply cause pleasant laughter and not
cause the finger os sccrn 10 be pointed
at a parent he would be the last one to
kick. So the boy has been for three
weeks trying TO think Of some innocent
joke to Play on his father.
The old man is getting little near
sighted, and his teeth are not as good as

CHAPTER v.
HIS PA is A DARN COWARD.


Il suppose you think my Pa is brave
man." said the bad boy to the grocer as
lie was trying new can opener on tin
biscuit box in the grocery, while the gro
Ger was putting up some canned goods
for the boy, who said the goods were for
the folks to use at picnic, but which
were to be taken out camping by the boy
and his chum.
"Oh, Isuppose he is brave man." said
the grocer as he charged the goods to the
boys father. Your Pa is called O ma
jor, and you know at the time of the re-
union he wore veteran badge and talked
to the boys about how they suffered dur
ing the war"
Suffered nothing" remarked the boy
with sheer, "unless they suffered from

He chc,Dcd like a seminary girl chcwing
gum.
Der slyly from his mouth and laid it
under the edge of his plate. He was
more than half convinced that his teeth
were played out. but went on eating
something else for awhile, and finally he
thought he would just chance the maca-
roni once more for luck, and he moved
away another forkful in his mouth. It
was the same old story. He chewed like
a seminary girl chewing gum, and his
eyes stuck out, and his face became red,
and his wife looked at him as though
afraid he was going to die Of apoplexy,
and finally the servant girl burst out
laughing and went out of the room with
her apron stuffed in her mouth, and the
boy felt as though it was unhealthy to
tarry too long at the table, and he went
out.
Left alone with his wife the old man
took the rubber macaroni from his mouth
and laid it on his plate, and he and his
wife held an inquest over it. The wife
tried to spear it with fork, but couldn't
make any impression on it, and then she
saw it was rubber hose and told the old
man. He was mad and glad at the same
time-glad because he had found that his
teeth were not to blame and mad be-
cause the grocer had sold him boarding
house macaroni. Then the girl came in
and was put on the confessional and told
all, and presently there was a sound of
revelry by night in the wood shed, and
the still, small voice was saying: "Oh,
Pa. don't. You said you didn't care for
innocent jokes. Ohv'
And then the old man between the
strokes CT the piece Of clapboard would
say: Feed your father hose cart next,
won't We? Be firing car springs and
clothes wringers down me next, eh? Put
some gravy on q rubber overcoat proba-
bly, and serve it to me for salad. Try q
piece Of overshoe with bone in it for
my beefsteak likely. Give your poor old
father slice of rubber bib in place of

of 1t and tool; it home. When the luaca-
foui was cooked and ready To he served,
he hired the table girl to help him play
it on the Old man. They took pair Of
shears and cut the rubber hose in pieces
about the same length as the pieces of
boiled macaroni and put them in saucer
with little macaroni over the rubber
pipes and placed the dish at the old mans

Well, we suppose if 10000 people could
have had reserve seats and seen the old
man struggle with the india rubber mac
aroni and have seen the boys struggle to
keep from laughing they would have had
more fun than they would at IA circus.
First the Old delegate attempted to cut
the macaroni into small pieces, and fail

enough. The boy said his macaroni was
cooked too tender. and that his fathers
teeth Were SO poor that he would have to
eat soup entirely pretty soon. The old
nan said, Never you mind my teeth,
young man." and decided that he would
not complain of anything again. He took
up couple of pieces of rubber and one
piece of macaroni on fork and put them
in his mouth. The macaroni dissolved
easy enough and went down perfectly
easy, but the fiat macaroni was too much
for him.
He chewed on it for minute or two
and talked about the weather in order
that none Of the family should see that
he was in trouble, and when he found
that the macaroni would not go down
he called their attention to something
out of the window and took the rub
