s'pose Jerry'd think she could do ii
better, but I'd rather have Louie. any
how; and Jerry'd always have to be
spoken of as Geraldine, which is too
long TO write often.
All the boys call her Jerry behind
her back, though she doesn't know it
and it's lucky for them. You see, Jerry
gets mad pretty easy. P'raps it's cause
she teaches school.
Mother says boys are trying. She
thinks I'm very trying boy, and l
s'pose she ought to know. wonder il
old people ever think they are trying
themselves? They are, anyhow. /
don't mean mother.
Well, to proceed-that's a good way
OF putting it, know, cause Mr.. Simp-
kns said it in his lecture, and Louie
said: Now, Jimmy, don't ramble, but
stick to your story" So here goes for
sticking-I mean proceeding. It's hard
work, cause / never wrote real story
before.
The reason why my story happened
on the fifth was cause Fourth of July
came on Sunday that year, so that fire
crackers and other celebrations had to
wait over.
And it was hard for the boys that
waited, judging from experience-Mr.
Simpkins said that, too. 1t sounds well
l think, besides being fact.
Well, mother said I could get up at
five a. m. on Monday, and not a min
ute before, and then l did think mother
was very trying, indeed.
i knew I'd wake up sooner, aud, sure
though, / did. and heard the clock
strike four. 1t was a long time till
half-past four, and four minutes from
that the sun would rise, knew, for I'd
looked in the almanac.
just raised up in bed to peek at my
frecrackers and punk, lying handy, and
that half hour was longer than the
other.
l can tell you it didn't take me long
to slide into my clothes when the time
came, and l did wash my face, though
my toothbrush happened to slip back of
the washstand, and / didn't feel like
taking the time to get it out.
Tod heard me moving round, and
came in from her room; so l had to
help her a good deal, and that wasted
a lot of time. But she's a smart child,
and combed her own hair pretty well,
considering.
P'r'aps you don't know that Tod q
(short for Toddlekins) our youngest.
Somebody thought l meant dog one
day when l spoke of her; but I think
Tod's fine name, being short and sort
of brisk.
Well, we tiptoed downstairs. SOS not
TO wake anybody.
Tod slipped down one step. dropped
her torpedoes and began TO cry. But I
spoke up as much like Jerry as could
Tod, not a word, or you go back
20 bed"
That scared her so she Jumped and
dropped another package; so had to

Anyhow, / don't see how boys can be
expected TO remember aprons, not wear
ing such things themselves.
Just as mother said, Tod began TO
be sleepy in no time. But I'd prom
ised 10 take care of her, and knew she
would go in the house and 60 to sleep
again. 1t was really pretty early for
five-year-old TO get up. She wanted
to cause l did so, so mother said she
could try it.
l like to please Tod. She's my ia
vorite sister, too. She's nearer my age,
and the others are so grown-up-prtic-
ularly Jerry. Then. besides, I'm Tod s
favorite brother; at least, l should be
il she had another, which she hasn't
To proceed: l told Tod to run in and
take a nap, and to do it softly, SOS not
TO wake 'em up; for it couldn't be six
yet, as the early train hadn't started.
Billy Croker came along then, run
ming like mad.
"Hello!" says he. Guess I'm late"
Guess you are, lazy bones" says /,
handing him some crackers and punk
But now you're here, so blaze away"
Jimmy" cried Tod, touching my
arm; and the cracker I'd lighted went
off rather quick. However, it didn't
hurt much. / put my finger in my
mouth to cool it. Jimmy, can't open
the front door; it's locked"
That's sol" l says. How stupid of
me! forgot to fix the night latch"
"Oh, Jimmy, I'm awful sleepy" says
Tod.
1t wouldn't have hurt her a bit to
take nap on the nice warm grass, but
mother had warned me specially
'gainst that. If Louie had been home, /
could have called her quietly. She was
away on visit, though, and hated to
disturb mother and father.
Let her take nap in that empty
car" says Billy.
1t had stood on the side track several
days, and l thought it a capital idea.
So went across the road with Tod and
she laid down on one of the cushion
seats.
1t was pretty warm, but didn't want
to run any risks, so Billy rolled up his
coat for pillow and l put mine over
her, and she was fast asleep in a minute.
We had a fine time after that, Billy
being boy with ideas. What we didn't
do with firecrackers isn't worth men
tioning. But after the bad luck we had
setting off some in front of the chicken
coop-we nearly killed two of our best
chickens drew the line at firing any
near the setting hen.
Billy thought it would be fun to see
what she'd do, but somehow felt it
would be better not to. Besides, that
hen was Jerry's.
| never thought once of Tod till most
breakfast time, when mother put her
head out of the window and called:
Come, Jimmy; it's time TO get ready
for breakfast. Bring Tod in
"All right" shouted; and Billy and
! ran over to the track
And no car was there,
Billy and just looked at each other,
and felt kind of dizzy. He stuck both
hands in his pockets and said "Whew!"
with very red face.
THE cars gore," said /. though
p'r'aps it wasn't necessary remark.
The next minute we were rushing
into the station and asking If the car
had gone with the six o'clock train.
The agent said il had, ard asked me IL

hadn't time TO tell him so. and ran. fun
tilt out OF the station door and got into
the 1850 that was just ready to start.
What are you going TO do?" says
Billy.
The Forrest City times. [volume] (Forrest City, Ark.) 1871-1919, 1898-07-01

where was she? How frightened she
must be!
II s'pose the men at the station don't
know anything bout Tod?" broke in
Billy, after we'd been quiet long time.
"Of course the men in that train d
know" says l.
THAT trains gone back by this time,
you silly!"
I'd never thought of that. Just then
long came the conductor.
"Tickets." said he.
And of course we hadn't any, but /
paid him, and he gave me slip of card
board with printing on it. He looked
goodnatured. I'd often seen him be-
fore, so | just told him the whole story.
He sat down in front of us, as kind
and sympathetic as could be.
''It's too late now" said he; "the
trains started back. We passed it at
Martinville. But I'll make inquiries.
Don't you cry, little boy"
And | wasn't. One or two tears aren't
crying, I hope.
Then your parents will be in a fine
worry, too" says he. "I'll send them a
telegram when the train gets in.''
The minute we got into the station
the conductor took us to a room, where
he said lost articles were sent.
MY sister isn't an article" says 1,
thinking of "a" "an," and "the," that l
was studying about in grammar.
Il guess you'd think she was very
precious article if you could find her"
And he sort of laughed. don't see how
he could.
See anything of little lost girl on
the six o'clock local from Harristown %
the conductor asked, when we got TO the
lost article room.
NO" said man, writing at a desk,
never looking up. Nothing reported
here, except three handkerchiefs, a
glove and two boys coats brought in
from that train. That's ALL"
''Those are our COATS" said |.
Then identify EN- said the man.
looked at Billy and he looked at me;
then we both looked at the conductor,
who laughed again.
Describe your coats, boys" said he.
"Oh!" says we. And then we told
him, and he brought out two coats,
which, sure 'nough, were ours.
Mine was over her and Billy's was
rolled up under her head" said.
"Who?" asked the man.
'Tod," said.
"Was that your brothers name?"
NO, sir; it's my sisters, and l should
think you might act IS if you cared a
little, cause she's lost"
"Oh, she'll turn up all right" said
that hard-hearted, mean man, and went
on writing.
All this time the conductor had been
standing in the doorway, with his fore
head all puckered up, like fathers when
he's thinking.
Come, boys." says he; well go and
telegraph to your father"
I'm bet my kite you'll never see her
again, Jhnny," Billy said, and then he
began TO tell me a story bout little
girl who got lost and was never found.
l don't b'lieve l ever liked Billy Crock
er so little as then, but tried to make
'lowances for him, cause Tod wasn't
his sister, you see. Besides, if I'd spoken
sharp to him, as / felt half a mind to.
was sure I'd break out crying.
After the conductor had tel'graphed
TO father, we got in the car again. He
gave Billy and me each two sandwiches.
He said he thought we must be hungry.
And he was right, and ever since that
don't think conductors can be beat for
being good 10 little boys.
He made the train stop at every sta
