A BOY AND AN ORANGE.
Laurence Hutton Tells How He Sue
cumbed to a Temptation.

The boy was taught from the earliest
awakening of his reason powers, that
truth was to be told and to be respected
and that nothing was more wicked or
more ungentlenanly than broken
promise. He learned very early to do as
he was told, and not to do, under any
consideration, what he had said he
would not do. Upon this last point he
was strictly conscientious, although
once, literally, he beat about the bush. ;"
His Aunt Margaret, always devoted to
plants and to flowers. had, on the back
stoop of his grandfathers house, a little
grove of orange and lemon trees in pots
Some one of these was usually in fruit
or in flower, and the fruit to the boy
was great temptation. He was very
fond of oranges, and it seemed to him
that a home made orange, which he
had never tasted, must be much better
than grocer's orange; as homemade
cake was certainly preferable, even to
the wonderful cakes made by the pro-
fesSional Mrs. Milderberger. He watch
ed those little green oranges from day
to day, as they gradually grew big and
yellow In the sun. He promised faith
fully that he woud not pick any, but he
had notion that some of them might
drop OIL. He never shook the trees, be-
cause he said he would not But he
shook the stoop! And he hung about
bush, which he was too honest to beat.
One unusually tempting orange, which
he had known from it's bud-hood, fin.
ally overcame him. He did not pick it
off, he did not shake it off; he compro-
missed with his conscience by lying fiat
on his back and biting a piece off of it.
1t was not very good action, nor was
it good orange, and for that reason,

perhaps, he went home immediately
and told on himself. He told his mother.
He did not tell his Aunt Margaret. His
mother did not seem to be as much
shocked at his conduct as he was. But,
in her own quaint way, she gave him
to understand that promises were not
made to be cracked any more than they
were made to be broken-that he had
been false to himself in heart, if not in
deed, and that he must go back and
make it 'tall right" with his Aunt Mar
garet. She did not seem to be very much
shocked, either; he could not tell why.
But they punished the boy. They made
him eat the rest of the orange.
He lost all subsequent interest in that
tropical glade, and he has never cared
much for domestic oranges since.-Lau-
renee Hutton, in st. Nicholas.
