boy as he set the butter plate On the

"Well, tell us about it. What had the

and several other badges last week dur
ing ths reunion" said the grocery man to
the bad boy as the youth asked for a
piece pf Goldfish skin to settle coffee with.
"He looked like hero with his old black
hat with gold cord around it."
"Yes, he wore all the badges he could
get thsfrst day, but after he blundered
into a place where there were lot OF
fellowgrom his own regiment he took
off the badges, and he wasn't very nu-

The gun just rared up and come down
on his jaw, shoulder and everywhere,
and he went over log and struck on
his shoulder. The gun few out of his

with his feet over the log, and that was
the first time he didn't scold me since he
got reHdgin. I felt offul sorry and got

will be great thing for your Pa. You
won't have any time to play any more

"Oh, I guess we can find time to keep
Pa from being lonesome. Have you seen

Pa has got setter dog stuffed. 1t is one
that died two years ago, and he thought
great deal of it, and he had 1t stuffed

me took the dog and put it on our front

1t to the dogs mouth so it looked just
like froth, and we got behind the door
and waited for Pa to come home from
