Charlie SpooEer and his sister Assie went into the biz grove half a mile from their home to get tree. They were Ililliu. a bridge across a little brook that ran through the garden, and as they wanted a nice long log. one which would reach Hacross the brook, they decided there was but one way to obtain tito go into the grove and cut it down.
 Charlie carried the hatchet and saw and Aggie carried herself. Of course. that was quite load enough for Aggie, for she was only six years old, and half a mile Is a long walk. when it leads through a deep meadow, full of last years grass stubble. But Charlie, being 10 years old, was quite a big man and as strong as most boys of II. He could have carried an ax instead of q hatchet had he been the owner of such tool But his tool chest contained no ax, and nice, sharp-bladed hatchet had to answer the purpose.
 "Ah, heres fine, straight tree about the size we want.' exclaimed Charlie.

It happened this way: One day while I was clinging in the form of ripe cherry to one of my mothers limbs along came a group of children. carrying a basket. oh. we must have some of those red cherries for our picnic" they cried. And at once they began to gather all that their basket would hold I was one of the first to be taken. for I was full and rosy. My, what a juicy fel- low" exclaimed the little boy who gath cred me.
 Well. that same afternoon we-the basketful of cherries-were all brought to this spot in the grove, where the children held a picnic. That happened before either of you were born"
 ''oh, so long ago as that?' exclaimed Aggie. who felt so very old
 Well, after their luncheon -trs cL!l- dren's I mean-they threw the crCmhs and cherry pits away. l feli into q soft spot, where leaf mold soon gathered me to itself, hiding me from sight. What ever became of the other cherry pits I do not know. For a long time I lay in that leaf mold. It grew damp and more solid. One day something heavy pressed upon me. driving me deeper into the mold, aud eventually I found myself buried in soft earth. suppose someone walking through the forest had stepped upon me and had unconsciously planted me in rich soil.

 The tree in question was a small, bushy one. and stood some distance from any others. Also. 1t did not look like a forest tree. but rescmbled some of the trees in the big orchard back of the SpOoner's house.
 Well, brother. lets cut 1t down." said Aggle. shall I help you?"
 No, you sit over in that cozy nook between those old stumps. You see. there's a pile of soft dead leaves there for a seat, and as the snow was all melted or days and days ago the leaves are nice and dry. See how warm the sun shines there? Wy, it's just like a spring day here in the edge of the grove. And mamma was afraid we'd catch cold down here. If she could but be here she'd say the summer is coming over the hills. See, the buds are filling the trees now"
 'Yes, and I do believe I heard a bee buzzing.' cried Aggie Then she sank down to rest in the mass of soft leaves. At the same moment Charlie began to use his hatchet on the bark of the pretty tree. But after making the second cut-or, as he afterwards expressed it, just after he had drawn the first drop of blood from the little trees side there fell on his ear the same sound which Aggie had mis taken for the hum of a bee. But 1t sounded more like the moan of a human being in distress or pain than like a bee singing.
 Charlie put his hatchet down and looked about in awe. Did you hear that noise?" he asked Aggie, who was sitting bolt up- right and straining her ears to listen.
 ''Yes, l heard it two times" declared Aggie. What on earth can it be, broth err

game of American baseball so modi- fled that it may be played in large cities and restricted areas in spite of the adverse conditions found in these places. This form of baseball is also intended to give encouragement to a prolonged period of playing the na- tional game among men who have passed the age of physical condition when they may comfortably handle a ball or run thirty yards between bases. Some of more distinctive fea- lures of this game are as follows: The cost of equipment is very insig- nificant, there being no reason for the use of masks. protector. mitt and gloves. Ten players constitute a side, thus engaging two more players than are engaged in q game of baseball.
 The diamond may be laid out in a

school yard, playground. vacant lot, golf club grounds. tennis courts, or on a lawn. The first batter at bat, at his own discretion, may run to either third or first base. This play opens possibilities for perception that are excluded in baseball. It will also more frequently engage the fielders on the left side of the diamond.
 Scoring by points gives each player and team credit for every successful play that places a man on base. This method of scoring Give innings constitute a full game) enables school and playground leagues to conduct tournaments and play great number of games in a single afternoon, with slight probability of ending with tie scores.
 Each side of the diamond is 35 feet long. The pitchers plate is 30 feet from the home base. The ball is not less than 12 nor more than IA inches in circumference. The bat is 2& feet long and not larger than two inches in diameter and made entirely of wood.
 The game of Playground Ball is destined to become one of the most popular of American sports and will fill a position in the world of sport which has long been neglected.
 The book of rules, etc, on Play ground Ball will be sent to any ad- dress in the United States or Canada by the American Sports Publishing Co, 21 Warren street, New York City, upon receipt of ten cents.

 At this Aggie came closer 10 hear all that the voice said Her eyes were big and full of question. And when the voice said 1t came from the most celebrated cherry tree that ever grew she at once recalled a story of George Washington that her mamma had just told her a little while ago
 An. good little tree" cried Aggle; then you must be some kin to the cherry tree that George Washington cut down"
 'Sure!" And Charlie became more in- terested in the words spoken by the strange voice. But" he added instantly, you couldn't be a descendant of that cherry tree. for George Washington killed it."
 'No, he did not kill the roots" e1- plained the voice. He cut away the little tree, which was no larger than your wrist. But the root still lived and sent up another tree, one which grew and grew. And many were the basketfuls of cherries that were gathered of that tree for use in the home of the first president of this country"
 "Oh, how wonderful!' cried Charlie and Aggie in voice. Come, tell us more of your ancestors"
 Well, I shall be brief, for my voice Is growing weak" said the little tree. Now. to begin: The tree that grew from the roots of the 'hatchet' cherry tree was fine one. During the last of It's life some of the Washington kinfolks were visiting the glorious Father of His Country then an old man) and gathered some of the cherries for the seed These cherries were planted in no less than i've states, and each cherry pit sprouted

 Hit me. sister. sos I can see If I'm awake" said Charlie. Come, hit me good and hard"
 Aggie did as bid, and inflicted sharp. stinging slap on the side of Charlle's face. ''Gee!" yelled Charlie. 'I guess I'm awake all right. Say, sis, you've got a mighty strong right hand" And Char lie rubbed tenderly the burning spot on his cheek.
 You said for me to hit good and hard" defended Aggie. "But-what was that talking? Was it-was it-that treeT'
 Tt was this tree" came the mysteri- ons little voice. And you need have no fear of me, little ones. It Is I who have cause to be afraid of you. See that ugly sharp blade on the ground! You have come to cut me down with 1t. And al- ready you have hurt my side q bit. all though the hurt is so slight that If 1t Is not increased I shall quickly recover. But will you listen to my story. little ones7 l have never had the power to speak be- fore, and now that voice has been given to me I must plead for my life. In so doing l shall have to tell you of my life, my parents. my ancestry"
 "Oh, then you have a family tree?" And Charlie. all enthusiasm, did not laugh at his own wit. He was never more serious in his young life.
 Yes, I have a family tree" responded the voice. And as fine a one as can be

I'd show what fine cherries l could bear for you
 Then you are lonely here:" asked Charlie. But the voice did not answer Well you shall he transplanted in ths spring" said Charlie. ''Will that please you?' But again no response from the little tree.
 Its voice is gone" whispered .ggle. But we know what 1t wants Come. get your saw and hatchet and lets go home and tell papa and mamma all about it. And. brother deG=. please don't cherry trees from the great one that grew in George Washlngton's orchard"
 ''Oh, only cherry trees could come from that" explained Charlie But never never shall my hatchet touch cherry tree. And we'll have this beautiful little tree transplanted In our garden, and we'll call it the George Washington"
 Yes. an only you and l shall ever eat the cherries that grow on it," suggested Aggie. wen have mamma make q huge cherry pie for us-a pie what will last a whole day"
