for the four-mile homeward tramp.
AS for the greeting he would get
on arrival that was too far in the
future to bother him. How to get
home was the problem.
Carlin had not gone back, and
George found him in Doc stayton's 3
drug store.

why In thunder didn't you tell me
this before, you little imp?" growIed
Carlin as he started for his buggy.
Tired with his day. George Wash
ington alternately slumhered and
logged awake as the buggy whirled
along over the rough Virginia road to
Fairview hall
When at last they drew up in the
circle before the door. and he had
hitched the horse to the old locust at
the corner of the veranda, George
Washington lost no time in climbing
to his bed over the back kitchen.
It was not destined to long. He
was brought out of sleep and his
quilts with a jerk and a hand grasp
ing his collar. The hand was that Of
Mr.. Carlin. and it marched George
Washington down the kitchen stairs,
through the dining room into the par
lor. where Miss Claribel was sitting
with an indignant flush on her face
and her eyes swapping.
did you tell Mr.. Carlin that
wrote him notes?" said Miss Claribel
1t was on George Washingtons lips
to deny the charge, but be say Carl1n

Ills first name was George. and
as he was the color Of strong coffee
Of course his last name was Washing
ton. He had eyes as white as ciab-
Der. teeth to match. He was running
away as any one else might whose
birthday had gone wrong.
You see It was his first birthday-at
least the first he had ever known. He
had discovered the date Of II in uncle
Soils almanac-Feb. 22, George Wash
ington's birthday
He had heard that those lucky
enough to have birthdays got presents
thereon. and that there was to be a
holiday and parade OF the fremen
in the nearby towns in honor Of this
occasion. He was naturally rather
proud ana antleipatory in conse-
quence.
And then the day had come and
there were no birthday gifts from the
white folks as be had hoped. he was
not allowed to go to town to see his
own procession. and instead Of a
holiday he had been rated for laziness
and put on the woodpile.
Was Il any wonder, under these ac-
cumulated grievances, that be ran
away. and now stood, a rather shiyer-
ing figure, IN the muddy. halffrozen
road. while he waited with a persua-
siye grin for the buggy Of Mr. Lex
Carlin going downward?
Not only had Il been common talk
in the kitchen that young Marster Lex
Carlin was courting Miss Clanbel, but
George. as he stood behind old Miss
Mary's chair. had observed and drawn
conclusions for himself.

Fairylew plantation. however. since
