Phil, with four or five brothers and sisters
to share his pleasures, could not have all

happy thought by Mary, the nurse, who had
all the more time to help in the packing.
when the box was finished, Jack found it
would not hold onehal his "things"-for two
reasons; 1t was not strong enough for heavy
articles, and then in the general overturning,
SO much had been brought to light that was
voted rubbish by the elders yet proved to be

There was rusty old gum it was of no
practical use, for it would not hold charge
OF shot, but it was the correct shape and you
could snap the trigger; and as it frightened
Daisy, probably it would impress "those coun-

Jack was sure he only needed time and a
quiet spot, to construct a faithful timepiece
out of the bewilderng mass of springs and
wheels.
Numberless things which the boy had lost
and forgotten about turned up now and were
carefully, slowed away, lest profane hands
should throw. them out, and rash lips mutter
that word which raises wrath in every genu-
inc boy-"Rubbish.2
On the very last day of March, Pat McCue,
assistance, had the first load ready, for it
was to start by six o'clock in the morning,
and arrive at Queerton by eleven, that the
wagon might bring another load in the after
noon.

"You may as well let him go" interrupted
Mrs. Hart. "He really needs little rest.
He's been on his feet continually of late, and
he has been so good, he deserves little re-
ward. But, do you think you'll be able to
get up in time, Jack? You know you find it
SO hard to be in time for an eight o'clock
breakfast, and you would have to get up

''Oh, now, motherl You know I'll be up

added, in whisper, as he kissed his mother
goodnight:
And Mrs. Hart felt amply repaid. A low

It was only little past midnight when
Jack started up, wide awake. The light was
streaming in at the window. He had taken
down the shade several days before to feel
more as if they were really moving, and he
feared he was late.

he had ever taken, and wished his mother
lived Just so"-he could see so much more
of her.. Whether he would have liked to do
all Phils chores, Is another question.
The afternoon was spent delightfully."-. For
tunately, Pat McCue and couple of maids
were there to 'see to things"-the role Jack
had laid out for himself as the boys never
gave the furniture another thought. Jack
insisted that "Mother wouldn't mind his
staying till the second load came, and in the
exuberance OF his spirits, wrote this hasty
note-for boy who had boasted of his Latin
lessons, the spelling is nothing to be proud
Of

Mrs. Hart could not find it in her heart
to be provoked at the boy, but packed
basket full of good things-cold chicken, ham,
tea a-biscuits, jam, lemons and cake-and sent
word that the boy could come. She was one
who wanted to see any boy her son cared
for, no matter how busy she was
Phil talked of that afternoon for months,
and of the grand supper in the. empty house.
He found Jacks manner of handling cold
chicken, if citifed, was remarkably like his
own. They never found the knives and forks
till they were packing up the remnants to
eat on their way back.
Mrs. Lonergan felt some misgivings at her
boy going among strangers, but the young
sters pleaded so hard, and Pat assured her
that the "missus' sent word for Phil to
come, so she consented. How they enjoyed

Phil, after he had seen Jacks note, thought
might be possible, in spite of the Latin les
sons.
i Al last at twelve o'clock, they reached the
warning finger held up, for baby and Daisy
must not be walked There were hurried
whispers and shy answers from Phil, when
JACK suddenly exclaimed;
Oh, here are the keys! locked up the
the keys for you. Thought it was the best
way to do. Now you see Pat would never
have thought of that"
.Oh, Jack! Jack!" said his mother you've
locked up the servant girls. | do hope they'll
know enough to get out Of window"
Fol. moment Jack looked blank, but, see
ing his mother was laughing, he gained cour-
age, and insisted, he had done the very best
for the girls; and to this day, Phil and Jack
talk OF the time I'VE helped move" At any
rate, all will agree they had the best Of it.
and they certainly worked very hard-with

should not forget to add, that Mrs. Hart
was charmed with Phirs manners at the ta-
bic, and only hoped her son would take mo-
