are you p said Joslin.
The question was merely formal, but
it started Johnny's willing tongue.
.Oh, I'm all right" he chartered. SCI
never had anything the matter with
me in my whole life except the mumps
and the measles and the whooping
i cough. But think sisters sick to-

sick. Say, are you coming out to see
us play the Little Sluggers? We've got
a game with them Saturday. Say, you
don't want to miss it. We're going to

Marshall Joslin's excited gesticula-
lions could not stop Johnny when he
was talking baseball until Johnny had

when at last he had an opportunity to

best sister teller ever had. She gave
me the money out of her own pocket
to organize the Little Giants. I gave

The captain of the Little Giants grin
ned as be raised his eyes to those Of
Mr.. Joslin. The face of that young
man had also undergone remarkable
change. 1t fairly beamed with joy.

The next moment Johnny Gaylord
felt something thrust into his hand and
saw Marshall ,Joslin striding down the
street with rapidity. Johnny looked at
what was in his hand. 1t was a green
back for more than enough to buy the
uniforms.
well, l wonder what said to earn
that?" he mused as he carefully slowed
it in a place of safety.
When Johnny came home at noon a
voice called him from the big half
darkened drawing room. It was the
voice of Miss Georgette, and he hur-

Look what Mr.. Joslin gimme, SIS

been telling Mr.. Joslin?' demanded
Georgette, serious eyes fixed upon him.

was going to get uniforms for the
Little Giants as soon as / got the

in my hands and rushed off before
could even get a chance to thank him.
Oh. say, sis, but won't the team look
fine in those blue uniforms with white
stripes?"
But Georgette did not join with her
usual enthusiasm in the plans for the
Little Giants.

that l told him l was well and that you
weren't well because you didn't come
down to breakfast and heard you
crying last night and
"Johnny!'
The serious tone of her voice caused
Johnny to look up in wonder.
$50 that is why he came" murmured
Georgette, biting her lip.
Johnny was beginning to feel very
uncomfortable when suddenly he was
