lie stood smiling serene and confident
before the gateway in the hedge.
Abraham Isaac and Jacob-that was
all the name he had-had lived on the
crumbs which fell from other folks ia
bles. Since daddy" and NANNY had
left him there had been no one to regard
him with particular care and affection.
Abraham Isaac and Jacob was
happy now because the strongest desire
his short life had known was about to
be fulfilled. In the shade of a tsree near
the hedge 9 stylish trap waited. Abram,
coming up the road, had seen the trap,
and walked up to the hedge and planted
himself in his present position of ad-
vantage.
Six foot of African, splendid in liv-
cry, sauntering down the path to ex-
change compliments with a similar
specimen mounted on the box, became
conscious of Abram. Now, Abraham
Isaac and Jacob was more familiarly
known by a shorter name.

Abram?" Her hand was on her purse

which she held out. OF course he had
expected a present-darkies always ex-
pect present-but nothing like this!
The expectation of the present, TOO,
had been an incident and not a mo-
tive. 1t had not been that he mad
wanted it so much, but that he was
sure she would give st because she was
herself.
He watched her with fascinated eyes
as she climbed into her trap and gath
cred up her reins While livery mounted
the box behind and prepared to turn
himself into a status. But she paused
the dog-like devotion in his eyes. Such

His eyes sparkled and he showed
every shining white tooth in his head.
Mrs. Vernon was not the woman to
do sensational Things, and TO take
AlbraIn to town in her trap in his
present state bordered too close upon
a sensation. She tossed her reins to
her man and got out

ran back into the house and into the
room of her convalescent friend.

There was a little more talk about
Abran, Dorothy asking and Kate an
sWering questions, and then Abram
was sent for and turned over to the
attentions of Sarah the cook. When
he returned from Sarah's hand, he was
a cleaner and, if anything, a funnier-
looking little niger than ever. Sarah
had crowded him into some of her
boys clothes. Her boy being about

the result was somewhat alarming
The sDotless white duck suit was full
to bursting and unusual lengths of
black arms and legs extended beyond
the boundaries of trousers and jacket.
Would the suit burst its seams or
would Abram collapse? Abram seem
ed to have no misgivings. He was
flushed, painting and radiant. He had
never been so fine in his life before
nor quite so squeezed, pressed and
packed into narrow confines.
Up he climbed, and sat swathed in
laprobe by the side of magnificent and
scandaliZed livery.

dam so intent upon the six-pound
pickerel trailing by the withe, than he
was in danger of walking into the
pond. He stopped at the end of the
dam to souze and refresh his prize in
the last available wafer, and called
back:
Don't let the plaguey musbrats
burrow in the dam"
As Caleb pulled away up stream, he
quilted the oar with one hand to feel
the bright half dollar in his trousers
pocket, and, looking back over his
shoulder, saw the president starting
off in his buggy, shifting his chances
back and forth from the horse in front
to the fish bestowed behind the seat.
When the fall weather made prime
the coats of the fur bearers, Caleb was
glad to resume his trapping, and glad

But they arrived at the dam without

the elder. as he stepped ashore.
--All right, sir and the boy picked
up the two whites he had cut. at a
convenient clump of viburnum, and ran
a critical eye over the fish with a
view to q fair division.

THE SNAKES TAIL.
Some Popular japanese Games That
May Take In America.

The japanese children play some good
games that might help American
youngsters through a wintry afternoon.
The girls. big girls, too, have very
pretty ball game that they call eye
mari" which means hand ball, but it
IS not at all the same thing as the
hand ball we know A number of them
stand in a circle, one Of them takes the
ball-they use one about two inches in
diamater-and throws it perpendicular
ly on the ground. AS it rebounds she
strikes it back with her open hand.
This she does as often as she can do
so without moving from her place in
the circle, but when it rebounds nearer
to some other girl-as it will sure to
do soon-it is the part of that girl to
strike it down. So the game goes on till
some girl fails to hit when she should.
or to make it rebound, and then she is
cast out of the circle. The game goes
on till only one girl is left and then
she has the honors of the game, "ka-
CHI or victory, as the girls call it.
There is another merry game called
Catching the snakes tail" One player
is selected to be the catcher, and the
rest range themselves in a row, one
behind the other, each child putting mis-
or her hand on the shoulders of the
child in front OF him.
The catcher stands in front of the
row some feet away and when the row
| is ready the game commences and it
consists of the catcher's efforts TO catch
the lest child ia the row, while the row
defends its tail, the snakes tail This
is usually the smallest child playing,
for the row is graduated by size, the
catcher must not push any one in the
row, and the chain of the row must
not be broken, either action constitutes
foul" when the tall is caught
that child becomes catcher, and the
catcher becomes the tail
A variation of this game is for the
catcher to cry out that he viii catch
q child. (Which child do you want .
asks the head of the row, and then
the catcher says third, or fifth, or what
ever he will, and then the row tries to
defend that child under the same con-
ditions as before.

THE COMPANY'S DAM.
Caleb's Race Against Time, Water
and a Muskrat.
BY ROWLAND E. ROBINSON

ID IlO w LAM IsOD1N DUN.
Caleb cast out his trolling bait of
pork rind and red flannel, bait that
was tempting enough to lure five
greedy pickerel to destruction before
he reached the dam
As he approached it, he saw a stout,
elderly gentleman, whom he at once
recognized as Mr.. Sartwell, the presi-
dent walking across the embanl1ment.
so intently examining it that he did
not notice the silently moving, boat till
her PROV slid up the bank a few PAGES Il
front of him.
Hello, ny boy" he cried. so you're
fishing, are you, what luck?"
-Tollable," Caleb answered, in some
confusion, at being addressed by the
great man. I ketched five middlin'
good ones
why, they're fine ones" said Mr.
Sartwel, coming to the boat and exam
lining the fish with an admiration that
filled Caleb's heart with pride. THAT

Scienticusiy measuring the fish with a
careful eye. Il guess not more'n four. p"

face was serious but his gray eyes
twinkled.
why not? Is't your boat?" and the
boy looked up With questionable sur
prise. I didn't know il was. Every
body takes IL"
70, I don't know anything about the
boat, but whose pond is it,
why, it belongs to the comply, l
s'pose."
Then the fish in it belongs to the
company, and you've been catching our
fish.
Good land!" Caleb exclaimed, in con-
sternatioa. II never s'pesed the COM

sighed, as he thought of the prospect

Seeing you didn't understand the
cempany's rights, we viii let you have

divide five fish equally unless we split
one Of them. and that would be too
had, and we couldn't string the half

pocket and Mrs. Sartvell objects to
that. I'll tell you what We'll do as if

Mr.. Sartwell pushed the boat free
of The bank, and, stepping into her as
briskly as a boy seated himself on
the middle tnwart. Caleb headed the
boat upstream and handed his pas
senger the trolling line, which was
slowly unwound and paid out as the
proper Roadway was attained. and for
awhile received the undivided atten-
ton OF the angler.
When a ouarer of a mile of water
had been trolled over without getting
bite he became more interested in
looking about him than in watching
the line.
In spite of the gloominess of the
day, the shores We're beautiful in the
greenness Of fresh LEAKAGE, and the
bloom Of the water plants that fringed
them
The 1.-THE. alert form of mink was
seen lodging in and out among the
naked three roots, and then musk
rat swan abreast of the boat, towing

When Dorothy's visit came to an end
she took Abram home with her, the
free and pleased assent of his sisters
having been readily obtained. In the
great city to which she went Abram
was sent to school-although if his
preference had been consulted he would
have confined himself TO the pleasures
of his Office as page, which he was per-
mitted to fill during the intervals of his
school duties.
AT the present day Abram is professor
in a well known college, where his in
fluence upon the advancement of his
race is markedly felt.
Every now and then a handsome,
sweet-faced matron visits the college
and calls for the professor. These Wis
it's make days which the professor
marks with a white stone. His schol-
ars, before whom he is always a grave
and commanding presence, are i'm
pressed and amused to see him enter
parlor, bare his head before a sweet
white woman and her brood of sons and
daughters, and address her with wOr-
shipful reverence as my young mis-
tress."
