SO he won't know hisself, an if any Of
you kids bother with me-
Suddenly he ceased, he trembled, he
collapsed The hand of one approach
ing from behind had laid hold upon his
ear, and it was the hand of one whom
he knew.
The other lads heard a loud, iron
filing voice say, Caught We at it again,
We brat, ye!" They saw dreadful wo-
man with gray hair, with sharp, red
nose, with bare arms, with spectacles
of such magnifying quality that her
eyes shone through them like two
fierce white moons. She was Johnnie
Hedges mother Still holding Johnnie
by the ear, she swung out swiftly and
dexterously and succeeded in boxing
the ears of two boys before the crowd
regained its presence of mind and
stampeded. Yes, the war for suprem-
acy was over, and the question was
never again disputed. The supreme
power was Mrs. Hedge.

His Full Share.

In western Kentucky town Ben
Watson had saved the life Of Myra
Underhill, says Harpers Weekly. Miss
Underhill had been overturned in a
creek with a swift current, and the
act of young Watson was very he
role one He had saved the life of the
girl after she was sinking for the
third time and had barely strength to
pull himself and the young woman to
shallow water.
The news soon spread, and Ben Wat
son was hailed as the real live hero of
the village.
Aunt Tabby Wilson, the oldest WON
an in the village, the mother Of the
little colony, was loud in praise Of the
heroism Of the young man and at once
declared that Ben and Myra must get
married. "Ben saved Myry's life," she
said, "and now they must marry and
be happy ever afterward, just as they
do it in the story books"
But Ben demurred. The arrangement
did not suit him.
"Why not marry Myry, Benz" said
the old lady. "She is yours, and we
must have wedding"
"She is n nice girl, all right" re-
piled Ben, "but don't think we ought.
er marry Seems to me-" he went on,
IT have done enough for Myry."

~ T came to pass that certain half
dime blood and thunder pam
phlet once had a great vogue in
a tribe of boys at Whilomville.
This story relates the experiences of
lad who began his career as a cabin
boy on a pirate ship. Throughout the
first fifteen chapters he was ropes
ended from one end of the ship to the
other end, and very often he was fell
ed to the deck by heavy fist He
lived through enough hardships to
have killed a battalion Of Turkish SOL
diers, but in the end he rose upon
them. Yes, he rose upon them. Hordes
Of pirates fell before his intrepid arm,
and in the last chapters of the book he
IS seen jauntily careering on bis own
hook as one Of the most gallOus pirate
captains that ever sailed the seas.
Naturally when this tale was thor
oughly understood by the tribe they
had to dramatic it, although 1t was
a dramatization that would gain no
royalties for the author. Now, it was
plain that the urchin who was cast
for the cabin boys part would lead a
life throughout the first fifteen chap
tiers which would attract few actors.
Willie Dalzel, the chief, developed a
scheme by which some small lad
would play cabin boy during this pc
Rod of misfortune and abuse. and then
when the cabin boy came to the part
where he slew all his enemies and
reached his zenith he, Willie Dalzel,
should take the part.
This fugitive and disconnected rem
dering of a great play opened in jim

mie Trescott's back garden. The path
between the two lines Of gooseberry
bushes was elected unanimously to be
the ship. Then Willie Dalzel insisted
that Homer Phelps should be the cabin
boy. Homer tried the position for
time and then elected that he would
resign in favor of some other victim.
There was no other applicant to sue
coed him, whereupon it became neces-
sary to press some boy. Jimmie Tres
colt was a great actor, as is we'll
known, but he steadfastly refused to
engage for the part. Ultimately they
seized upon little Dan Earl, whose dis
position was SO milky and docile that
he would do whatever anybody asked
him. But Dan Earl made the one firm
revolt Of his life after trying existence
as a cabin boy for some ten minutes.
Willie Dalzel was in despair. Then he
Johnnie Hedge, who had come into the
garden and in a poor little stranger
sort Of fashion was looking wistfully
at the play. When he was invited to
become the cabin boy he accepted JOY
fully, thinking that it was his initia-
ton into the tribe. Then they proceed
ed to give him the ropes end and 20
punch him with realism which was
not altogether painless. Directly he be-
gan to cry out. They exhorted him not
to cry out, not to mind it, but still they
continued to hurt him.
There was a commotion among the
gooseberry bushes, two branches were
swept aside, and Johnnie Hedge, a
new boy who did not belong to the
tribe, walked down upon them. Every
boy stopped in his tracks. Johnnie
was boiling with rage
