! Peaty didn't say anything to that and
thought she'd ask him what made him look
so dampand derty. But he usyually looks
quite derty and guess she. didn't notice
about the dampness. Anyway the next
thing She said was, Its work work work for
some and play play play for Others. Now
you get to your chores in short order,

Peaty began saying, and then he stopped all
of sudden as il he had got SCARED The
reason was the policeman was walking
right across the yard. i thought for sure
Peaty would run. ] guess the poleeceman
thought so too,
Hold on now, hold on now, he said, and
walked right up.and took hold his shovllcr
and reached down for the shatclane bag
Peaty saw what he was doing and kept a
hold Of it SO tight thought first p'raps the
policeman wouldn't gctit But Of course
he is much stronger than Peaty, and be Just

pulled il right away. When he did 1t Peaty

he would have done il. Then Peaty began
TO cry. guess for one thing p'raps the
policeman hurt him and another thing
guess be was 50 discouridgcd he couldn't
help it. But the policeman began to
iaugn
Well it seems to be quite loss to you, he
said, What inside this thing anyway And
he began to unfastcn the shatelane bag
6 Then Peaty did something that didn't
seem anything like Peaty at tall. don't
believe he could have done it il he hadn't
got so kind Of worked up and all, because
he ought to see it wouldn't do him any
good, but he started in TO pervent him.
You stop. he hollered, You stop, it don't
belong to you, you give it, back You stop

backl And Peaty started right in to fight
the policeman.
/ didn't really blame him for it and yet Of
course could see it wouldn't do him any
good, because the policeman was very
broard and big and Ihavc already said Peaty
was real narrow and littel. He must have
seen his size couldn't be in his favor, and YET
he was 80 kind Of worked up and all | gues:
I il didn't make any difference to him.

Florists

The florists have a trade jargon of
their own. When a nan who grows
flowers for q living rattles off some
thing like paper whites, valleys and
Romans the confused layman has to
stop to think what the tumble of words
means. 1t is only the trade way of say
ing paper white narcissus, lily Of the
valley and Roman hyacinth. Likewise
mum is their word for c%hlysanthe-
mum, and time and space are likewise
saved by saying "cyp" instead of
cypripedium. So Bridesmaid roses are
'niaids," American Beauties are beau
