very fascinating, especially with the
new colOred bubble soap, and it was
not long before the two little girls
were happy again I'd Duke was wild
with delight. AS each bubble grew
bigger and digger, Duke barked loud
er and louder, and begged that one
should be given him to play with. But
for little dogs, bubbles are poor play
things and last but a minute. 1t re-
quired great attention on the part of
both blowers to prevent their, work
meeting instant destruction.
Dot blew the best, there was no
question of that, but Mab's bubbles
seemed to last longer. And it was one
of MAIDS that went bouncing along on
the breeze, with Duke in hot pursuit
Both girls were laughing merrily at
the queer antics of Duke and his play
thing, when the bubble descended and
Duke pounced upon his prize. OF
course, it burst at once. and the dog
jumped back with a sneeze. Then,
selling something with his teeth he
sprang back.
Poor old Dukeyi" cried Dot I'll
blow you one just as big; just watch"
But Duke was not interested in
bubbles; he had found another play
thing.
"Oh, drop that old stick and come
along!" cried Mabel. See, Duke! See
the nice big bubbles. Catch it, sir!
Catch it"
But Duke would pay no attention.
Il believe he has something alive!"
said Dot. Perhaps it's poor, dear
little toad. oh, Dukey, aren't you
ashamed of YOURSELF"
Duke wagged his tail, not bit
ashamed, and deposited at Dots feet
a queer and dirty object.

house. fhe window in the spare
room where Cousin Gladys had slept
was open and the ruffled white curtain
blew gently in and out. AS they stood
spellbound the curtain blew in toward
the table and out again, and on the
edge of the ruffie was scrap of paper,
which fluttered slowly to the ground.
"Ah." cried Dot softly. 81 see the
theft" And then they rushed indoors
to tell the news.
Great good news it was, too. The
ruby pin had apparently been caught
by the same curtain and gently de-
posted outside on the ground, as the
scrap of paper had been, and there l.
had lain hidden in the snow and mud
and new spring grass.
Cousin Gladys received a telegram
that afternoon, and in reply this letter
came:
"My dear little cousins, and Duke
too: I am SO happy to hear that my
treasure has been found, that I want
you to bring it to me and to spend a
week with me in the city-all three
of you So ask your mother to pack
your trunk, tell your father to put you
safely on the cars and l will meet you.
We will have a jolly good time, and
you will be here just in time to be
bridesmaids at my wedding, for which
you will each have a pretty new frock
presented to you. I won't take mo- for
an answer"
Soon after the receipt of the letter
two very mportant-looking little girls,
and an equally important-looking little
dog, started for the city, leaving Har-
old on the station platform waving an
envious goodbye.
Isn't it fortunate" sighed Dot as
they settled back in the big cushioned
seat, that we didn't go fishing that
day ?"-Nancy Scott, in Washington

He does not make the most of it in the
first place, but merely forces it by an
unnatural process into a condition
where it will make a show for a little
while. He merely stimulates instead
of nourishing it.
This is almost as bad as letting the
system go altogether uncultivated.
Training Imperative.
Now true athletics does not consist
in using up all ones capital in few
years. but in investing that capital in
such a way as to make 1t bring in
twice as high interest as before and to
make 1t last as long as life lasts.
Athletics for boys is not mere fad
or good thing" 1t is duty. That
fact is realized more generally to-day
than ever before. 1t is gradually be-
coming understood that the sallow,
hollow-chested boy with the thin neck
and the big head develops into a con-
sumptive quite as often as he develops
into an Edgar Allan Poe, and that the
alert athletic lad is far more likely to
become a Roosevelt or Bismarck
than to grow into prize fighter.
Proper and careful cultivation Of the
body cannot fall to strengthen the
brain; nor in most cases can a quick,
powerful mind inhabit a feeble, Ill
tended body.
In other days the average boy took
up athletics more or less against his
parents wishes He should do SO to-
day by their positive orders, just as
they order him to school and plan his
three meals per day.
II Ia my plan in these lessons to
show the American schoolboy how he
may become a first-rate, all-around
athlete without interfering with his
studies, practically without cost and
with permanent benefit to his general
health.
If the schoolboy's parents will also
take the trouble to follow these les
sons they will agree that the course
can be only Of benefit to their son,
and they may acquire few ideas they
can put to personal use.
In fact, the first steps in the Ameri-
can schoolboy's athletic career de-
pend almost wholly on the parents. for
they should begin before the boy is of
age to go to school.
Start with Babyhood.
His education along these lines
ought to begin soon after he Is out OF
the cradle. With such a start he obvi
ates all risk of future injury and has

vantage.

There is perhaps no more abused
word in the language than athletics,
and the traditional athlete has but
himself to thank for the reputation his
hobby has gained. For, instead of
taking up the subject in a sane man.
ner, the average aspirant for athletic
honors is prone to make his hobby an
idol at whose shrine he sacrifices a
number of very good and very useful
things. Among these are time that
should be otherwise employed. money
that would better be saved. and
greatest and most useless sacrifice
health.
Abuse Of Athletics.
Now every one of these sacrifices
is unnecessary. The boy who cannot
become an athlete without squander
ing his allowance and his study hours
on it and risking his health is not fit
to be an athlete. Athletics should be
health giver. not a health destroyer,
and proficiency i'm II is within the
reach of the poorest as well as the bust
est boy.
Opponents of athletics point to the
fact that few professional athletes
such as pugilists for instance-live to
old age, and that their constitutions
collapse at time when they should
be strongest.
To such persons the best reply is
that pugilism is not athletics. 1t is
sheer, unnecessary brutality. Such
professionals" are like men who.
with just enough money to live on in
comfort through life, draw the whole
sum from the bank, live like multi-mi-
lionaires for few years and then col
lapse into penury. The professional"
uses up his strength and vital energy.
