weren't coming.
For jist another minute" you
begged and got it. Then Mommer
hustled you OF upstairs. much against
your will.
But your active brain had already
evolved new plan- You would undress
yourself. you would wash your own
face and hands. you would brush your
own "toots," you would put on your
''perfibbers" all by yourself And then
you would go and ask MOmmer to let
She sometimes allowed you to do that
/. you had been very good. And this
time she did You went into her. all
ready for bed; you stole up behind her
and then flung yourself at her and CUR
gled with delight at the way you had
surprised her. And shs grabbed you
" in her arms and kissed you and told
you how good you had been. And that
was just what you had been waiting
for. kin I sleep with Uncle Bob?''
YOU cried. and then laughed with hap
piness when you heard that you might.
You Said Your PRAYERS.
Up another flight of stairs, dark by
this time. Ny. you couldn't remember
when you had been up so late. you
hadn't been up until dark for ever so
long; in fact. you didn't believe that
you had ever before stayed up until
you felt almost. but not quite. fright
ened at the hour You entered Uncle
Bobs room. 1t was all black; you
couldn't see a thing. But mommer's
hand guided you over to the big, wide
bed and then you knslt down to say
your prayers.
Now I lay ne down e sleep,
II shoaid die fore I wake,
My soul TO take
Cord. teach Pops an Uncle Bob their
letters, n Cord bless 'em, n Cord
bless mommer n me. Amen"
And then you crawIed Under the
sheet and curled up. Mommer bent
oyer : and kissed you and whispered
Good night" and then left YOU
oh. but IL was dark. black and
"scary." and didn't you feel like hiding
your head under the covers and going
TO sleep. But you didn't dare. No.
You had something else to do, some
thing vastly more important. You
were going TO stay awake until Uncle
Bob came in. and then you were going
TO help Cord teach him his alphabet.
Yes, you certainly couldn't 90 to sleep
now But how dark II was. and what a
long time Uncle Bob took. Once Won
thought you heard him coming and
you sat UP in bed quickly, so as to be
tcdUy AoI him. Oul Ile mouse emed
very still and you Sneaked down under
the covers again and then
Some one was moving around there
and II was light. Light Why. IL must
be morning. and you had fallen xsleep.
baby You opened one eye. slowly. and
then shut IL again. quickly. Uncle Bob
was there. and he was taking on his
coat, very quietly. so that he could
sneak into bed and hide his face. OF
course. he'd just come in. and that was
gas, not morning light. And then YOU
screamed at the top OF your lungs, "a.
b, G, q, e. f."
You had helped Cord, and Won knew
your "alhbit," and the next morning
you could not even remember what
Uncle Bob had said.

scornful. he would laugh. You could
not stand that you must do something.
Suddenly you gra5ped Pops coat. pulled
it hard aud bolted You thought that
surely Pops would follow YOU But he
didn't. Outside. in the glare of the
blisteving sun, you sat on the curb and
waited-for hours. hours. hours.
Strange, You couldn't remember those
letters; but Pops would start them for
you and then it would be all right. II
was hot there. and it was SO long since
you had had that soda, you were tired
tired
Your Father Lifts You Up.
Pops big hand grasped you and lift
ed you up. Where were you? You
looked around Oh, yes; Pops had al
last finished talking to the drug store
man and was ready to go home with
you. You stumbled along sieepily for
O few minutes. and then YOU remem-
bcred. YOU must find out what those
letters were befo-o you reached home,
Uncle Bob woald be sure TO ask for
them.
. Pops" you said. Il been dfeamin'
bout YOU"
pops smiled Wei. what did you

Pops. ! don't believe you know your

laughed.
Well" you said. II dist dreamed
ct you didn't know en-. Pops You
say em an I'll tell you If they are
right" You thought you had done ii
we'll and you felt safe at last.
Pops hnsitated. He looked as il he
was thinking. thinking hard. and then
he sasped: Why. why. I've forgotten
how they start; but hold on. you tell
me how they begin and then I'm sure

Well. Il had failed. your plan. and
through no fault Of yours. Pops, even
Pops. didn't know how they started
so it wasn't nearly so bad If you didn't

was waiting for your help. We'll
how do you start them SOM"
You smiled at him sweetly and won
dered how they did start And then
you saw Uncle Bob standing on the
stoop waiting for you, Inspiration
You started forward at run. straight
up to the .fiouse. and then up to Uncle
Bob. Pops was far behind. half way
down the block. and before he came
you determined TO tell Uncle Bob ali
about IL III your own way. And you
broke into your story.
Uncle Bob. Pops don't know his
alabit, n he asst me to tell him how II
started, but l thought he'd orter felt
'shamed ter hear 1t FROM a little boy
like me, so you tell i'm" Uncle Bot
grinned.
Pops. said lie TO the approaching
delinquent don't YOU know how you
say your letters? Well. I'm surprised
Here's your small son here can say

squirmed. Just suppose he should ask
you to say them now--you couldn't
and you wouldn't give him chance tC
ask you.
Tell i'm. Uncle Bob; you tell 'im.'
you whispered.
Uncle LOB opened his mouth. stopped

upon "storeberry," because it had such
pretty co1ors in it. And while the man
mixed up the wonderful beverage Pops
told you to say your letters for him.
and after a deep search in the depths
of your brain YOU said. We'll. well
think better them
That time your Uncle Bob sent YOU
to the drug store for witch hazel; you
repeated to yourself all the way down
to the corner. ''wich hazel. wich hazel
wich hazel until you thought you just
couldn't forget 1t. And you held the
ten-cent piece clenchcd in your hst: you
couldn't lose that. either. You hustled
into the drug store still saying the
words to yourself. witch hazel. wich
hazel" You didn't see the man comin &
out. and you ran square into him. You
didn't stop to see If you had hurt him;
IL you did you might forget the "wich
hazeI!' Suddenly You saw the drug
store mans head directly above your
own and deep gruff voice demanded,
'sWeil?"
You gazed at him spelibound. Why
didn't he say something more?"
Silence.
And then, after terrible silence, an
other "Well?" deeper, gruffcr than the
hrst.
You had forgotten. Ii was witch
something, but you couldn't remember
''wich' what. You were Mortified; what
had you dene2 Uncle Bob would never
send you to tho store again; he would
call you baby Something must be
done. You grew hot and cold. and thea
you blurted out in desperation.
"Wich."
Hurry up. yeunS man. hurry up,
what is IT." The druggist was in q
hurry himself He had called YOU
young man.. but you could only re-
member witch" something. but the
something you could not. would not re-

Wien you repeated again. Eut duly
this time. You knew what Uncle Bob
was going to say. And then you ran,
ran as you never had run before. all
the way down the block and up the
front stoop You rang the bell--one.
one-two-just as you always did. but
merely from force OF habit. You were
saying to yourself all the way home,
"Wich. wich, wich." just as though that
would help. And you rushed past Mary,
when she opened the door. upstairs as
fast as you could run and into Uncle
Bob's room. and then you cried-eried.
And 1t was all the drug store man $
fault, You didn't forget. He just
scared you so that you could not re
