PRESENCE OF MIND.
He Was q Keen Boy and Was EquaB
to the Occasion When Caught
at Mischief. ..'.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence. Step by step he advanced, always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he.
muttered to himself, as he took a firmer grip,
upon the ugy-looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, ''Il'
show 'em!"
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly.
like tiger advancing upon its prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another.
Meanwhile the boy, in the tree kept crook
ing his elbow at 32-knot clip. The cherries,
were large and fat and red, and he had
wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would
smack his lips, and eject handful of stones
from his mouth. 1t was glorious.
Suddenly rugged form seemed to rise up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that were husky with emotion:
"Here, drat your hide, what are you dom
up there?"
1t was one of those moments when word
may win all or cause all to be lost.
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,.
juiciest cherry that he had been able to,
reach, pulled himself together, drew his BARE.
brown legs up under him, and replied:
"Pm rememberin' the Maine"
When he could speak again the farmer
said:
'If they amt enough here fer you, there's
another nice tree full of 'em, up yonder in
the orchard. "-Clcveland Leader.
