In less than half the time Jimmie
had allotted, the cookies and apples
disappeared, and the game was again
in progress. On the way out Miss
Hunt had said: "Well let them eat all
they want, and then put the baskets

Mrs. Brown, who was the mother of
four healthy boys, said nothing { o this,

to Miss Yunt's big pasture field, and
said, "IIully gee! Amt that bully
place for game?"
Miss Hunt was shocked at the Ian
guage, but hope rose in her heart. 1t
might be possible that the exquisite,
cloudless weather favored her after
all. She looked at the thin clothing
of her guests, and reioiced that the
yellow almanac had truly predicted

had very little acquaintance with boys,
but had noticed that they ywere not long

Before the location of the bases had
been settled, three recruits joined the
ranks and were soon Offering to hunt

The weather certainly was queer for
the last day of December. The sun
shone brightly down on leafiess trees
and brown fields, and a fresh warm
breeze blew from the south making it
like a day in late September. The
wide eXpanse of meadows and wheat
fields stretching away back of the
dozen farm-houses that composed the
tiny village seemed to be baslling in
the mellow, haZy sunlight that covered
the whole landscape as with garment.
With a sigh Miss Julia Hunt hung the
yellow almanac behind the shining
stove in the kitchen, where yellow al
manacs. had hung for more than fifty
years, and then went to the dining
room to pack away her precious china
and ornaments.

Mary Finnegan, the maid of all work,

tunately, he fell seriously ill of
fever which completely prostrated
him. BY degrees their small savings
were expended, then the best of the
furniture was sold, for they were too
proud to ask help, and so they went
from bar to worse, until they only
had the .)oor bed, the stove, the table
and twJ chairs, which now furnished
in scant measure the little room in
the tenement they called home.
Hugh had been out since early
morning hunting for work, and his
wife was growing momentarily more
anxious about his prolonged absence.
What could keep him? 1t began to
grow dark. Pressing her pale face
against the panes, She peered out in
to the street.

"Oh, Harry, what shall we do? Sis

Mrs. Derwent, putting her arms

"Oh, where will you go, my poor

Meanwhile Hugh Derwent had

seven-story building, with all its win
dows ablaze with light, you would
wonder what purpose the child had in
mind
Nearly a year before, Mary Der
went, when the beginning of their
troubles had come, had mailed a
story to the Manhattan Magazine, en-
tering the competition for prize of
$500, which had been offered. Mary
Derwent, in her happier days, had
written verse which had been accept
ed and published. The prospect of
coming trouble had stimulated her,
effort, in the hope of giving her fam
lily the helping hand. Poverty had
knit this little family into a closer
and more intimate union than ordi-
narily exists in families, and they
had talked things over together, but
long since Mary had ceased to won
der about her story, giving it up for
lest.
The thought of it came as an in
Spiration to small Harry, and he
meant to beg money for the story;
that was his errand. surely"
thought the child, "the good editor
will buy it if he knows how hungry
we all are"
Harry's tired little feet at last
reached the large building where the
Manhattan Magazine was published,
and through his earnest solicitation
he was admitted to the editorial
rooms, where he told his errand.
After some questioning, he was in
formed that Mary Derwent's story
had sent no address except City"
they had forwarded the check to the
general delivery office.
1t was so far to the post office, but
that letter would buy bread, so Harry
trudged bravely on. At last he was
there. There were two letters, one
for his father. He clutched them
started for home. How far it was!
If he could just hold out to get
there! A pain came in his head and
everything turned dark around him,
despite the electric lights.
There was an elegant gentleman
sauntering leisurely along, looking
almost bored by the mere fact of ex
istence. Harry stopped moment.

to clear away the mist, before at

What made everything turn around

as little form went down in the
mud and slush, right in front of a
carriage dashing furiousIy onward.
\ moment more and the cruel hoofs
of the madly driven horses will

But no, strong arm clutches
them, and with almost superhuman
strength forces them back on their
launches as the little child struggles
to his feet. 1t was the listless gen
tleman, a Mr.. Mayo.
"Oh, thank you, SIR" gasped Harry.
"Ah, don't mention it, sonny; let
me help you across" and he grasped
the muddy, ragged sleeve in his
daintily gloved hand, and nearly lift
ing the slight form, swung him over.
The child reeled and would have fall

rections, but Immediately sank back
almost fainting.
Mr.. Mayo suddenly exclaimed, as if
thought had struck him which was
very surprising:

BOYHOOD'S HAPPY HOURS DOWN
ON THE EASTERN SHORE.

In boyhood's happy hours
We padded far anu near
On the Pocomoke's bosom,
Black. but oh, so dear.
There i'll the sunny summer
We gathered magnolia blooms
And fragrant honeysuckle
To inhale their sweet perfumes.
So frescoed are these scenes
In memory's royal dome
That the gliding never fades
When we recall the dear old home
We often note the faces
As they pass us in review
And each and all are smiling
Just as they used to do.
The western scenes are pretty,
Ever varying and new,
But the pictures of our boyhood
Are never lost to view
We know that somehave entered
Within the vale of tears
And that others now are burdened
Beneath the weight of years.
But the hearts of the living
Still beat as warm and true
As when in the days of boyhood
They welcomed me and you.
We never can forget it,
Twill dwell forevermore
In the blessed scenes of boyhood
Down on the Eastern Shore.
