THOMAS thanked her, while he chok ed

In the afternoon she took him to see
her aunt Maria. When they got home
Thomas said that he was tired and
would go to bed.

Then he told his troubles to his neigh

Thomas gladly agreed to give any,

Thomas left the window open. and
retired to bed, feeling like a criminal
OF the deepest dye. Fortunately Mrs
Thomas was heavy sleeper, and 1t was
not till next morning that she discov-

done the thing thoroughly, for, as well
as the trousers, Thomas's two treasured
prize cups. a bottle of whisky and a
collection of choice seeds had vanished.
Loud were Mrs. Thomas's lamenta-
lions. Thomas, too, began to see that
the path of double dealers is hard, for,
when he suggested to Harvell that the

that all the property, barring the trou-

Then he demanded the shears and peas,

He dared not refuse TO wear those

looking thoroughly ashamed of himself
Where's your collar?' Mrs Thomas

Sunday in peacefully gardening the

His name was Jimmy. He said so
himself with a lisp which came from
the place where two front teeth had
been. Jimmy had a nickel, also an as
piration to sell newspapers like the
boys who could spit through their toes
and smoke cigarets. With a peaked
crowned thatch of straw, a bingham
waist and a pair of linen trousers to
protect his miniature person from the

thousands of Heralds.
Big eyed from the strange scenes and

Jimmy wormed his way through the
crowd of paper sellers who were wait

* %OU are feeling discouraged today
Nothing seems worth while.
Looking back, along the road
by which you came, you see so many
desert spots and so few green fields of
your own sowing.
You remember all you expected to
do, and be, and have: and you think,
with bitterness, Of now few of those
early dreams have come true. You
realize it is your fault; and perhaps
you think it is the fault of others, or
of fate, or circumstance.
But whatever the cause you say 1t is
too late to remedy the matter. And
just there is where you are making one
of the worst mistakes of your whole
life
1t is never too late.
Did you ever play a game of tennis
and find yourself. while serving the
ball. obliged to call out Love Forty?"
That meant you had not made one
point yet, and your opponent lacked
only one TO win the game.
Then have you gone on, and won the
game?
That happens often in the game Of
tennis.
1t happens often in the game of life,
If those who are playing use the same
spirited interest and are just as much
in earnest as the tennis players
