Grant, poor fellow, expecting, of course,
an easy serve from Country, had taken his
stand close to the service line, and looked
blankly enough after the ball as. amid the
cheers of the spectators, it shot between his
feet and against the back net.
Bancroft plucked up spirits. 1t might not
be SO bad, after ALL Willmott drew far back
for Sans next ball. whereat Sam, feigning
to put forth all his energy. dropped one just
bounce when WiIlmott's racquet struck it.
Thirty loye" cried Sam, exultantly. and
Bancroft was completely treasured.
Time would fail me to tell of that set in
detail. 1t was won by Sam and Bancroft,
and easily won. with a score of six, to three.
Sam felt that the cheers of the onlookers
were chiefly for him. and he was right.
Then came the games between the eight
victorS, and here again Sam and BancrAft
defeated the two pitted against them.
Matched against the two remaining victors,
they still held their own, though with very
close score. and finally the crowd reused
itself, and all stragglers drew near to watch
tween Bancroft and Sam.
This was indeed a vigorous contest. Sam
had none of Bancroft's Science" In lieu
of that. he had phenomenal agility and ac-
curaey and abundance of grit. He could not
make "backhand' strokes, but he could spring
handed" He knew nothing Of "cuts' or
TWISTS" but neither could he be fooled by
them when cent TO him.
So evenly were the two matched that the
games stood five all, at length and Bancroft

croft savage ball, which the latter returned,
letting it fall in front of Willmott.
The latter grinned as he saw how high the
ball bounced, and, drawing back his racquet,
sent it whizzing toward Sam, expecting to
hit that youngster square IN the chest.
But Sans racquet was In the way just
then, and inclined at precisely that awkward
angle which sends bill spinning across In
front of the net to the side line, so that the
outs won the point, amid the applause of the
spectators.
1T was Just lucky chance, thought" growl-
Then Grant treated Sam to service with
which he intended to puzzle the country boy.
1t was swift twist"
Now, Sam had no knowledge Of "twists," "
but he was used to playing on ground
which was likely to cause the ball TO bounce
and, moreover, he was as nimble as a kitten.
He caught Grants twist with a light spring,
and sent the ball flying past Willmott's right,
he having incautiously stationed himself too
far from the side line
BY this time sympathy was thoroughly en-
straightway nicknamed him, and loud was
the shout of congratulation when, Bancroft

And Sam was not there to give his charac-

'Play!" shouted the umpire.
And the first set stepped into the court.
OF course, we cannot take time to follow
the fortunes Of all the players, much as a
tennis lover would enjoy the account.
Each four was composed OF good, strong
players, and their spirited performance kept
the spectators constantly interested;
Enthusiasm was beginning to flag. some

when a stir was made as Sam stepped forth
with the final four.
He had been paired off with the, strongest
player of the college-the surly young man
who has received mention before and most
persistent practicer- Edward Bancroft by
name.

he found the painter somnolent.
'Wilis!" he cried, sternly, come with
me- It's that damn kid of yoursi"
The painterwas Immediately agitated. He
always seemed to feel more than any one
else in the world the peculiar ability of his
child to create resounding excitement, but he
seemed to exhibit his feelings very late. He
arose hastily. and hurried after Trescott to
the top of the inside cellar stairway. Tres
colt motioned him to pause, and for an instant
they listened.
Hurry up, Jim," cried the busy little
Cora. Here's another whole batch of lovely
puddngs. Hurry up now. an put 'em in the
oven"
Trescott looked at the painter; the painter
groaned. Then they appeared violently in the
middle Of the great kitchen of the hotel with
a thousand people in it. Jimmie, go up
stairs said Trescott, and then he turned
to watch the painter deal with the angel
child.
With some imitation of wrath, the painter
stalked to his daughters side and grasped
her by the arm.
"Oh. papa! papa!" she screamed you're

At first the painter had seemed resolved
to keep his grip, but suddenly he let go her
arm in panic. I've hurt her" he said,
turning 10 lreScOIC.
Trescott had swiftly done much towards the
obliteration of the hotel kitchen, but he
looked up now and spoke, after a short peri

Well. hurt her again. Spank her!,' he cried.
man! She needs it. Here's your chance.
Spank her, and spank her good. Spank her!"
The painter naturally wavered over this
incendiary proposition, but at last in one
supreme burst Of daring, he shut his eyes and
again grabbed his precious offsrring.
The spanking was lamentably the work of
a perfect bungler. 1t couldn't have hurt at

thing classic, and quite instinctivey, they

tinuing the game. But the situation seemed
invulnerabie.
The angel child went on a scouting tour
Presently she returned, flying. Il know!
Let's have it in the cellar! In the cellar! On,
it'll be lovely!"
The outer door of the cellar was open, and
they proceeded down some steps with their
treasure. There was plenty of light; the cei-
lar was high-walled, warm, and dry. Ihey
named it an ideal place. Two huge cylindrical
furnaces were humming away, one at either
end. Overhead the beams detonated with the
different emotions which agitated the tea party
Jimmie worked like a stoker, and soon there
was fine bright fire in the stove. The fuel
was of small brittle sticks which did not make
a great deal Of smoke.
''Now what1l we cook?", cried little Cora.
"What'll We cook jim? We must have some
thing to cook, you know"
"Potatoes?" said Jimmie.
But the angel child made a scornful gesture.
mo. I've cooked bout million potatoes, /
guess. Potatoes aren't nice any more"
Jimmies mind was all said and done when
the question of potatoes had been passed, and
he looked weakly at his companion.
Haven't you got any turnips in your house =
she inquired, contemptuousiy. In my house
we have turnips."
'sOh, turnips!" exclaimed Jimmie immensely
relieved to find that the honor of his family
was safe. 'sTurnipsg Oh. bushels an bushels
an bushels Out in the shed!"
''Well, go an get whole lot, commanded
the angel child. go an get a whole lot.
Grea' big ones. We always have grea' big
ones"
Jimmie went to the shed and kicked gently
at company of turnips which the frost had
smalgamated. He made three journeys to and
from the cellar, carrying always the very
largest types from his fathers store. -Four OF
them filed the oven of little Ccra's stove
This fact did not please her, SO they placed
three rows of turnips on the hot top. Then
the angel child, profoundly moved by an In
spiration, suddenly cried out:
"Oh, Jimmie, let's play were keepin note,
an have got to cook for bout thousand
ovens, an I'll be the chief cook"
No; / want to be chief cook some of the

.No; I'll be chief cook my own self. You

'em, an then you put 'em In the oven. Hold

Jim held the coal shovel while little Cora,
with frown of importance, arranged turnips
in rows upon it. She patted each one daintily,
and then backed away to view it. with her
head critically sideways.
"There!" she shouted at last "That'll do,
i guess. Put 'em in the oven"
Jimmie marched with his shovelful of tur-
nips to one of the furnaces. The door was
already open, and he slid the shovel in upon
the red Goals.
"Come on" cried little Cora. 'sTve got an
other batch nearly ready"
But what am l goin to do with these?'

was the kingdom Of nice people. The charac-
teristics of outsiders, of course emerged IN
shreds from these tea parties, and II is doubt,
full if the characteristics of insiders escaped
entirely In fact, these tea parties were IN tne
large way the result of a conspiracy OF certain
unenlightened people to make life still more
uncomfortable.
Mrs. Trescott was in the circle of tea-fighters,
largely through sort of artificial necessity
Ia necessity, in short, which she had herseii
created in spirit of femininity.
When the painter and his family came lor
the holidays, Mrs Trescott had for some time
been feeling that it was her turn TO give yea
party, and she was resolved upon it now that
she was REINFORCED by the beautiful wife OF
the painter whose charms would make all the
other women feel badly And Mrs. Irescott
further resolved that the affair should be nota-
BILE in more than one way. The painter wife
suggested that, as an innovation, they give the
people good tea; but Mrs. Trescott shook her
head: she was quite sure they would not
like it.
1t was an impressive gathering A few came
to see if they could not find out the faults OF
the painters wife. and these. added to those
who would have attended even without that
attractive prospect, swelled the company to a
number quite large for Whilomvilje. There
suddenly the tea party. was IN full swing, ana
looked like an unprecedented success.
Mrs. Trescott exchanged glance. with the
painters wife They felt proud and superior.
This tea party was almost perfection.

Jimmie and the angel child, after being op-
pressed by innumerable admonitions to behave
correctly during the afternoon, succeeded IN
reaching the garden, where the stove awaited
them They were enjoying themselves grand
ly, when snow began TO fall 50 heavily that it
gradually dampened their ardor as well as
extinguished the fire In the stove. They stood
ruefully until the angel child devised the plan
of carrying the stove into the stable. and there,
safe from the storm, TO continue the festivities.
But they were met at the door of The stable by
Peter Washington.
ssWhat you bout, jim"

The two vagabonds stood before him while

vices. Nothing affects children so much as
rhetoric. 1t may not involve any definite
presentation of common sense, but if it is
picturesque they surrender decently to its m
huence. Peter was by all means rhetorician,
and it was not long before the two children
had dismally succumbed to him. They went

AT the first alarm the painter had fled to the
doctors Office, where he hid his face behind
book and pretended that he did not hear the
noise OF feminine revelling. When the doctor
came from a round of calls, he, too, retreated
upon the office. and the mene conscled each
other as well as they were able. Once Mrs.
Prescott dashed in to say delightedly that her
tea party was not only the success OF the
season, but it was probably the very incest
tea party that had ever been held in Whilom-
vile. After vainly beseeching them to return
with her. she dashed away again, her face
bright with happiness
The doctor and the painter remained for
long time in silence. Trescott tapping reflect
lively upon the window-pane. Finally he turn
ed to the painter, and shifting, said; What
is that, Willis? Don't you smell something?"
The painter also shifted. "Why, yes! It's
like-it's like turnips"
'"Turnips? No; it can't be"
"Well, it's very much like il"
The puzzled doctor opened the door into the
hail. and at first it appeared that he was going
to give back two PAGES. A result OF frizzing
turnips, which was almost as tangible mist,
had blown in upon his face and made him
gasp.
Good God Willis. whatcan this be-" he
cried.
Wheel said the painter. Its awful, isn't
it?"
The doctor made his way hurriedly to his
wife, but before he could speak with her he
had to endure the business of greeting score
of women. Then he whispered, "Out in the
hall there's an awful"
But at that moment it came to them on
the wings of a sudden draught. The solemn
odor of burning turnips rolled in like a. sea
fog, and fell upon that dainty, perfumed tea
party. 1t was almost personality; if some
unbidden and extremely odious guest had
entered the room, the effect would have been
much the same. The sprightly talk stopped
with jolt. and people looked at each other.
Then few brave and considerate persons
made the usual attempt to talk away as if
nothing had happened. They all looked at
The odor of burning turnips grew and grew.
To Trescott it seemed to make noise. He
thought he could hear the dull roar OF this
outrage. Under some circumstances he might
have been able to take the situation from
a point of view of comedy. but the agony
of his wife was too acute, and, for him. too
visible. She was saying: yes, we saw the
play the last time we were in New York.

seconds before his brow suddenly flushed with
an angry inspiration. He left the room hasti-

So Jimmie expelled all his turnips from his
shovel out upon the furnace fire, and returned
obediently for another batch.
"These are puddings," yelled the angel child,
gleefully Dozens an dozens of puddings for
