For long time there had been rebel
lion in the hot little heart of julius
Zarin, aged 3, of 1 Pitt street. For
months past Julius, who is passionately
attached to his father, Abraham, has
been told whenever he was bad that his
papa was going to get another little boy.
But, mamma" said julius, who talks
as though he were 5, Il don't want papa
to get another little boy''
His mother, thinking to inculcate a
needed moral lesson, replied:

other little boy"

handed Julius. meaning himself, and a
moment later he added: Cant we mend
this little boy?"
During the last few days julius, to the
astonishment of his parents, had been
unusually good.

his mother.
Papa won't get another little boy, will

His mother smiled. I'm afraid he
WILL Julius" she said.
Then julius took counsel of Felix
Wiersbinski, who lives on the next land

a country boy of Is. AS the upshot of
that conversation and others, julius ia

''What is that you have in your hand,
Julius?'' demanded his father.
The boy held up little bow and ar
row that belonged to the Wierbinski
boy.

Julius.

up in his arms and carried him upstairs,
bow and arrow and all. Then he him
self tucked Julius in his little bed be-
side his mother.
'"Try and make room in your heart
for little brother" he said, as he bent
over the little fellow.
The stork is coming?" questioned Ju-
Illus.
THE stork is coming" said his father
finally, then he dropped three nickels into
julius little fist.
The next day was Sunday. Julius over
heard a long conversation between his
mother and father. They were surely ex-
pecting the stork, for his father had
made preparations to take day off from
the sweatshop in which he worked.
1.-THE stork is coming tomorrow" said
Julius as he went downstairs last Sunday
evening to sit on the stairs. He carried
with him his bow and arrow. for there
was no knowing when he might get
shot at the wicked bird.
A little later his father came down the
stairs on an errand 20 a neighbours in
Essex street. julius begged to be taken
with him. As a result he walked to Es-
sex street with his father, still carrying
the bow and arrow of Felix Wiersbinski

father went upstairs.

His father had been gone but very
few minutes when Julius bethought him
self of something. When he had asked
his father on the previous day where the
stork lived his father had pointed in the
direction of Williamsburg and said
vaguely: "Over there"
lsidore Wormski, whom Julius knew,
passed him as he thought OF this. Jul
lius called him. Isidore was noted among
all of the boys as amiable and willing to
do without fuss whatever was asked
him.
''Tell my father that Julius has gone
to stop the stork," said Julius, and Isl
dore ran away.
Then Julius got on surface car cross
ing the bridge. Like little man he
paid his nickel When the car got to
the end of it's route and there were few

"Julius has come to stop the stork.
Where does he live?"
The conductor stared at him for
moment ard then made for him. Ju-
Illus thought he knew what that meant:
They would try to take him home. On
into the darkness Julius stepped. After
that he rode on other cars, but he didn't
dare ask the conductors where the stork
lived. for fear that they would try to
take him home. So he kept his little
bow always strung with little arrow.
Finally. at 2 in the morning, julius slept
on a Ralph avenue car. He had

dream that Julius awoke shouting:
