 But Gracies mamma stood looking at the scene, especially at angry Oracle did mamma look with wonder in her eyes. Why, daughter!' was all mamma sald but she looked much more.

 Oracle sat quite still for few minutes. Then she added: Would the gypsies take him away ?'
 ''Yes. and he'd never, never come back" said mamma. You could then build your playhouses without fear that these little footies would come to kick them over" And mamma held In her left hand the two fat little feet so full of pink toes. Oracle got up and went to her mothers side. She loved the little brother dear in everything till the coming of Archie to dispute her rights, she had not yet reconclled herself to the division of her the bare feet of Archie and lay her cheek

 Oracle meditated a minute; then she went back to her play and began to stack up the blocks, preparatory to building another house. But after few minutes she threw down the blocks, knocked over the part of the building she had done and returned to her mothers knee.
 Mamma, will the gypsies be good to buddie7' she asked, laying her hand fondly on her brothers plump arm that was so tempting In its pinkness and dlmples.

6uence over the lives of young boys. Look at old Tim Skinner, who claims to be Tads uncle! Is he the sort of man you would want to become7 And he has been In the race-horse business all his life: he began as jockey, but outgrew t. But, Max, l don't want you to forget jockey on the track. He takes his life in his hands every time he goes into race"
 Max said nothing more, but walked on beside his mother In q bad humor. He was not only bit angry, but humiliated over having, been led away from the Grand stand like ,baby-boy." And he and call him mammals title baby" and would tell all the other boys about 1t, too. In this unhappy frame of mind Max fol- tug and soon found himself In the "Art Department" where crowd surrounded his exhibit. At sight of the little stream CTS of blue his heart responded to the glory of his achievement and he went forward proudly to hear the word of praise which greeted him. Why. here's the artist him self!'' exclaimed old Judge Glover, seizing Max's hand and shaking 1t energetically My young friend, let me tell you that there's more than talent displayed in this work from your pencil. there's genius! Stick to your art and let nothing side track you Then turning to those pres ent the Judge continued Here's a boy that will reach the mountaln-top before he has finished his career. Mind my
 "Thank you, sir." said Max, color req denng his cheeks, color brought to the surface through the hearts pleasure. Then. just as others were pressing round Max to express their approval of tho judges awards In that department Mrs Brown came up. "Oh Max she cried, taking his hand, let me first tell you how glad l am of your success, then let me ask you where Bert Is. The last I saw of him you were in his company, the two of you were at the poultry coops. I've been looking for him everywhere. Do you know where he is?"
 "Yesm," answered Max, q left him down at the Grand Stand watching the races--or there to watch the races when they begin" Then Max felt suddenly ashamed that he had confessed to having been at the race track, before all these people, too
 At the race track?' asked Mrs. Brown, some uneasiness in her voice.
 "Yes, there's where l found Max little while ago. explained Mrs. Shaver In low tone to Mrs. Brown. "l saw Bert there. He's on the lowest front seat overlooking the race course. Max didn't want to come away-said he wanted to stay and see Tad skinner, that little fellow hat old Tim Skinner brought from Kansas City few months ago, ride in the running race.

 Hes 14l" spoke up Max, resentIng for q second time his mothers interference In the little jockeys affairs.
 ''Fourteen!" And Judge Glover pursed up his lips in n quicker expressing doubt of the truth of Max's statement. He's mighty small for that" Then the old man knitted his brows minute. 'Yes. Mrs. Shaver. I'm quite sure the matter should be looked into by some humane people. promise you to do what l can. But fear we cant prevent his riding today. however"
 Well l must get Bert away from that racetrack.' said Mrs Brown. Do you mind letting Max go after him for me:" she asked Mrs. Shaver.
 "0f course he may gc, consented Mrs. Shaver, to Max's two-fold delight. Now he could get even with Bert by telling him his mothers orders. And he would. at the same time, get one more peep at Tad"

How Oracle Found Out That She Loved Her Bro-

BY MAUD WALKER.

''Oh, goodnessi graciousl You're such q bad brotheri" cried six-year-old Oracle Newton, in a petulant voice, as she rudely pushed her little brother Archie away from the block playhouse she had Just finished building after an hours diligent work. T wish mamma and papa had never let the old storK bring you to our house-so do! You spoil everything I do and you don't care straw"
 The little brother looked lnquiringIy at the angry little sister (who probably ap- peared very large in his baby eyes) and merely expressed his disapproval of her conduct towards him by saying Goo goo" Then he advanced step nearer the destructabe blockhouse again.
 Now, stop! again cried Oracle. And this time she pushed so hard against the fat little stomach of Archie that he sud denly toppled over backwards, hitting his pretty, curly head against the hard floor. As he fell the little fellows feet flew up and kicked over the blockhouse. which

It was the week of the county fair. All Benyille was In state of happy excite ment and anticipation. Many of the Benyille boys had exhibits in the various departments. some showing fine horses, dogs, poultry etc., while others gave evidence of their ability along ngri cultural and mechanical lines. Only n few were represented in the "Art De- partment."
 And each little exhibitors heart was beating with mingllng of hope and fear:
 hope that he might see dangling from the objects or articles of his exhibit the blue ribbon. which would proclaim ex- cellence: and fear that his hopes might meet with disappointment.
 But among all the boys of Benyile there was one who, unintentionally, won the envy of all the other boys. But to the other boys credit 1t must be confessed that they also. felt the. greatest admira- Ation for and interest in the object of their envy. This much envied and admired boy was Tad skinner, jockey. He had been in the town only short time and had not made the acquaintance of any of the boys, save by an occasional allegiance with something wistful in 1t. But to the Benville boy-world '"rad"' Independence, and they watched him
