 That's what I wanted, too, said the boy, as he looked up on the top shelf at the cat, that was licking ner- self where the hair used to pc. HOW did I know that powder wouio ou,h
 so quick? Say, you are unreasonaoie
 Do you think I will go on ana ieave
 you to die here under the counter ol blood-poisoning, like a dog that mas eaten a loaded sausage? Never! l am going to nurse you through this thing, and bring you out as good as new. l know how you feel towards me. Dad felt the same way towards me, down in Florida, the time he got skun. fou old people don't seem to appreciate a boy that tries to teach you usetui nolIig."
 What about your dad getting skun in Florida? never heard about It,
 said the old groceryman as he LOOK a hand mirror and looked at his burned face.
 Why, that was when we first got down there," said the boy, looking dt the old man and laughing. Gee! put you would make boy laugh II ms hps were chabped. You look like a greased pig at a barbecue. Well, when we struck Florida, and dad got so ne could assimiIate high balls, and eat oranges off the trees, like giraf he said he wanted to go fishing, and get tanned up, so we hired a boat and l rowed while dad Asked.
