Joslin. walking to clear his brain, PEN
etrated boyish voice pronouncing his
name:
Hello, Mr.. Joslin!'
| why. good morning, Johnny. How
are your" said Joslin.
! The question was merely formal, but
| it started Johnny's willing tongue
"Oh, I'm all right he chartered. ST
/ never had anything the matter with
| me in my whole life except the mumps
| and the measles and the whooping
cough. But think sisters sick to-
day.
What" cried the young man, hith-
| erto SO phlegmatic. '.Sick, did you
say?"
| "Oh, don't think she's very sick
said Johnny. II guess she isn't very
| 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
put it all over them
| Marshall Joslin's excited gesticula-
lions could not stop Johnny when he

"But your sister,. Johnny-your sis

| when at last he had an opportunity to
speak
"Oh, l don't think she's very sick"

night heard her in her room, and it
sounded as if she was crying. l was
| awful1y sorry, because she's about the
best sister Teller ever had She gave
| me the money out of her own pocket
to organize the Little Giants. / gave
| her an annual pass"
The captain of the Little Giants grin
ned as he raised his eyes to those Of
Mr.. Joslin. The face Of that young
man had also undergone remarkable
change. 1t fairly beamed with joy.
rs there anything else you need for
your club?" he demanded suddenly.
We'll, / want to get uniforms for all
the regular men," Johnny said seri-
ously, las soon as we get the money!
How much will that take?" demand
ed Mr.. Marshall Joslin
I'VE can get some bully ones for $12
| dozen, but
| 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. | wonder what said to earn
that?'' he unused as he carefully slowed
| it in place of safety.
When Johnny came home at noon
voice called him from the big, half
darkened drawing room. 1t was the
| voice of Miss Georgette and he hur-
ried to her.
Look what Mr.. Joslin gimme. SIS"
he cried as he came toward her. He
displayed the greenback
Johnny Gaylord, what have you
been telling Mr.. Joslin?'' demanded
Georgette, serious eyes fixed upon him.
II didn't tell him anything averred
the captain Of the Little Giants. 1--WE
were just standing on the street talk
ing, and | happened to mention that 1
was going to get uniforms for the
Little Giants as soon as | got the
! money And then he just stuck this
| in my hands and rushed off before
could even get 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.
| Johnny Gaylord" she said solemn
| ~, ''you told Mr.. Joslin something else
| Now, tell me what it was you said.''
| why, that's all we talked about
honest" protested Johnny, except
that l told him 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
| swept into the warm embrace Of two
strong arms, and Georgette placed a
kiss right on his pouting lips.
"Oh, you're a dear little brother"
she declared, hugging him.
| Johnny went away mystifed over
the two strange events of the day. but
| happy in the possession of means to
uniform the Little Giants.
When Marshall Joslin arrived again
at the Office he was so cheerful of
spirit and vigorous Of mind that Shac-
kleton remarked upon it.
| Your walk seems to have done you.
good, my boy he said
Made a new man Of me, SIR de-
clared Joslin warmly.
