Question 2. If you answer in

In reply t. these questions
Governor Vessey issues a letter
over a column in length in which
he utterly fails to answer either
Of the questions asked by Mr..
Parmley. The governor devotes
all his space in an attempt to
justify his action by arguing that
the state saved money by this ar
rangement and laying great
stress on the assumption that Mr..
Lea is about the only thing that
ever happened when it comes to
the construction of building.
No attempt is made to show
wherein it was necessary to ap-
point man to two positions and
pay him two salaries when it was
impossible for him to attend to the
duties Of both Of them at the same
time. The present insurgent gov
ernor also forgets to explain in
his attempted showing of econo-
my why, if Mr.. Lea could do the
work incident to both positions.
| it was necessary to pay an assis-
tant engineer 81, 500 per year. If
this is the best that the governor
can do in the way of explaining it
would be better for him to make
no further attempt in that line.
The governors letter, which
consists principally of fulsome
praise of Mr.. Leafs S ability, bears
the earmarks of the latter gentle
man and was doubtless penned
by him and issued over the sigma
ture of the governor. From COM

laughed Reggie. But by this time they
had gotten well past the orchard and
were passing In front of the farmhouse.
The old farmer and his wife were sitting
on the front porch, and as the little ram
blers went along the dusty road the couple
bowed in friendly country style to them.
After the boys-and presently the girls
had turned a corner which shut off the
view of the old farmhouse Jack remarked
to Reggie: AN honest old couple, and
they would gladly have given us the free
dom of the orchard had we asked IT,
'Don'tbe so sure of that" replied Reggie.
every one of these old dodgers has his
bulldog or his shotgun. They are as stingy
with their apples as though they could
use every one that grew in the orchard"
Edith and Lily were now walking with
the boys, and ON hearing this much Of
the conversation regarding the orchard
asked for particulars. And when they
were told that Reggie was very anxious
to SNEAK" an apple they both showed
their disapproval. Haven't you enough

THAT would be nothing out of the

must be great sport"
So the children rambled on reaching The
Point soon after passing the farm where
the apple orchard had so attracted Reg
gie's eye. Then they gathered some
leaves, already touched by autumn's tints
in advance of time They climbed half
way up The Point, but Davey, looking at
his watch, cried out that it was time
for them to be starting home.

in time to dress for dinner" said Reggie.

stops over the weekend with us. haven't

oh. won't that be nice," said Edith,
who loved company. You ought to take
great pains with your toilet. SO as to

once"
Yes, it's nearly 4 o'clock" said Davey.
"And it's an hours walk to town. Wen
have to get move on us. Come, kids,
let's CO."
Then, talking and laughing merrily,
the FIVE little friends started toward the
town where they had their respective
homes.
When they reached the farm having the
fine apple orchard Reggie again began
expressing desire to "sneak" an apple
And Jack, having caught sight of bull
dog roaming the yard back of the farm
house, and not far from the orchard,
thought it very good plan to give
Reggie a lesson. So he said: IF you
are bent on stealing an apple, climb the
fence and do 1t. And we'll be the farm
ers witnesses-if he wants us-that You

yor--there's a dog in the grounds"
III be too quick for any dog" said
Reggie, till now very fine, honest chap.
But somehow temptation had whispered
pretty loudly to him on this outing, and
he had listened, much to the regret Of his
friends. I'm going to jump over the
fence and sneak an apple. l see the
very one l want-that whopper hanging
there on that dropping limb" And Reggie

Sally was more happy than ever when
papa suggested the Purvis children COM
ing to play with her. She and Johnny
and May and Baby Nell had such good
times together-except when one of them
got into a pct" and acted naughty.
Then a little brawl usually ensued, but
never lasted long, for the children liked
playing together too much to let misunder-
standings stay between them. And Sally
had no brothers or sisters and depended
on the Puryis children for company.
So away went Sally, running to the
home of the Purvises. And over the fence
she called to Johnny, who was playing
horse in the yard. A long broom handle
was his steed, and a very fractions fellow
he was, for Johnny had some difficulty In
stopping him when Sally called out, "Oh,

@ HE boys of Dashville had become
quite expert at flying kites. Indeed,
n kite-fying had become the fad with
Ns them and baseball and other athletic
sports were sidetracked, so to speak,
whenever the wind blew stiffiy across the
prairies. Dashville was situated on high
tableand and afforded the younger mas
culine citizens great opportunity for their
kite-hying.
Perry Scott was one of the most enthu-
siastic kite-lyers of the town, and much
of his spare time was spent in building
large and pretty kites. His sister Myrtle
often lent hand at this work, and Perry
frequently boosted that his sister could
make as good kite as he could.
Late in the summer, and when kite
flying was at it's zenith, the boys decided
to have a ''kite-fying contest" a sort OF
tournament, as Perry Scott expressed 1t.
The boy who flew his kite the highest
and farthest was to receive a reward in
the shape of silver badge. made express
" for the occasion and paid for from the
funds of the Boys Kite Club
A week before the grand affair was TO
take place each boy kite-hyer was as busy
as he could be making new kite for the
occasion. Pins, bits of carefully whitfield
stick, colored paper, small pots or pans OF
flour paste. lacks, Irvine and many other
materials used In kite-building were en-
ployed in the boys workshops. The work
shops were usually In old stables, wood
sheds or big pack porches. And woe unto
any member Of a busy builders family
who happened to step upon any Of the
kite material or to misplace any of 1t in a
thoughtless way. The kites under con-
struction were as precious and valuable

piece was torn out and long rent ran
up the side.
As Reggie, bleeding and bruised and
very much ashamed, arose from the
ground, where he had fallen SO disgrace
fully, he tried hard to smile, and shook
himself together as best he could. Els
four companions offered him no assist

Purvis children came into the yard, and
she showed them how very, very high sho

Then May asked to swing. Sally got
out of the swing very reluctantly and
allowed May to take the seat. But scarce

forth when Sally caught hold of the
swing and stopped her. "Your times

not offer the swing 10 Baby Nell or

again and swung and swung to her

After few minutes Baby Nell asked
to be allowed to swing, and Sally. who
was selfish In her possession of the
swing, shook her head. ..Wait till you're

looked down the street toward the home

laughter over the horses antics All this
merriment in the neighbours yard made
Sally very. very lonely, indeed, and
how she wished the children would come
back to her yard again or ask her to-
theirs.
After half an hour of loneliness, Sally
decided to creep down to the Purvis'
yard and ask Johnny and May and Baby

let them each swing as long or longer

that she could. She made nice smooth
paste, supplied pins and tacks in plenty,
also provided yards and yards and yards
of good. strong, heavy Irvine. In fact
the Irvine had to be of the very best, and
where it was knotted together the work
had to be done very neatly. This part Of
the work was intrusted to Myrtle.
But much of the time. when Perry was
the very busiest and needed Myrtle the
most, the young lady was not to be found
And after calling to her repeatedly she
would suddenly appear on the porch,
where Perry had his workshop and In the
most innocent way ask: do you want
me, brother?"
Then Perry would explain that he need
ed her assistance in FASTING two sheets
of paper together very nicely. In a jiffy
Myrtle would have the seam done as neat
ly as one could wish for, and then. while
Perry was finishing some other bit of
careful work, she would disappear as sud-
denly as she had appeared
Il wonder what Sis Is doing these
days?" Perry asked of himself. 'She will
be here, helping me for half an hour, and
then, when my back Is turned, away she
slips as silent as u mouse. I'll bet she's
up to something that is being kept Sc
cret from me-"
Three days before the time set for the
Kite Contest Perry had his new kite COM
pleted. And 1t was very pretty, too,
with its long, brilliant tail of tinted pa
per. 1t was as long as Perry's body.
The boys entering the contest had
agreed not to see one another's kites till
they appeared on the contest field, which
was on a broad, level space half a mile
from town.
But they knew the Importance of try
ing their kites before the final day, SO
each agreed on an hour on the field when
the others were to remain away. Five

''Oh, that's all you girls know of such
things" laughed Reggie. you attach
value to a mere apple-that will doubt
less rot on the ground-unless l eat It,"
So saying he climbed over the high board
fence and started to climb the tree.
Hardly had he reached the limb on when
the coveted apple grew when a low growl
was heard behind him, and looking below
Reggie was frightened to see a bulldog
coming at full speed toward him. He
had scarcely time to reach the ground
and to rush for the fence when the dog
arrived on the spot and had him by the
leg. Luckily for Reggie, the dog got hold
of his trousers and missed the flesh,
thus doing Reggie no physical harm. AS
he went over the fence all in a heap the
dog was shaken from his hold and fell
back into the grass of the orchard.
When Reggie fell headlong over tho
high fence his face struck a sharp-edged
rock, which inflicted quite a cut across
his chin and lip and the rough weeds and
grass scratched his face and disfgured

days in August, such day as chill

out across the green carpeted lawn
which surrounded his home an idea
came to him. I'll do it." he said to
himself Then he ran into the house and
found his mother in her room reading.

and with tears of Joy in his eyes he
