to make for the basket. BY this time
Ebenezer had dropped Greggy, and,
seeing the disastrous termination of
his employers dash, also rushed to-
ward the basket!
But Jim beat him by 20 yards, quite
enough to enable him to catch up the
precious basket and climb over the
fence with it to freedom A second
later Jim vanished safely out of sight
round a bend in the road. The big
awkward Ebenezer, seeing it was use
less to follow him. stood looking
blankly at the cheering weeders, who
roared and howled their delight at
Jim's escape.
But what was in the basket?
Listen to Frank:
Hurray! There he goes to market.
It's worked. Nothing like the selective
punishment system, boys,-not when

John Turner had recovered by this
time and shouted in angry amaze
ment:-
DO you mean to say you young

Frank nodded

II guess not. Those golf balls belong
to the Junior golf club, which is us!
Anyhow, you haven't any kick coming.

And the whole crowd jumped the
fence, leaving Turner purple in the
face with helpless wrath as he realized
the trick played on him
They quickly Joined Jim whom they
warmly congratulated. But Jim didn't
seem much elated. In fact. he looked
all cut up When the crowd broke up

scarcely had they begun when Tom
Kennedy who was farthest away from
Franks basket, should walk all the
way down the line to deposit certain
particular weed in it?
AS Tom passed sFrank he winked
for some unknown reason and Frank
laughed. Now, this happened not once
but many times to all the boys in the
course of the long afternoon. Finally
even Ebenezer, the stupid hired man,
noticed it.
Hi there. you lazy kid, quit layin'
down on yer job! Thar amt no need
ter tote thet weed all the way cross tn
garden just ter throw in thet basket
1t takes up time for the walk, an you
can't play no tricks on mel Drop it in
that near basket, / say''
The young weeder who was thus
caught sneaking across the garden TO
Franks basket was compelled to obey
the order. But Ebenezer's personal
notice couldn't stamp out the practice
even when Greggy Gordon was stopped
and Ned Wilson had to be forcibly re-
strained from looping across the garden
to that fascinating basket set so close
to the fence. And in the meantime the
garden was being weeded with tre-
mendous energy. Old Turner scratched
his head in perplexity, quite puzzled
at the almost unnatural enthusiasm
gang.
They actually seemed to like their
punishment. They dug and spaded and
slashed as if 1t was the king of outdoor
sports. No spot was sighted, but
close observer would have noted that
the section nearest the golf course was
especially favored with their close at
tention.
Finally the wedding was all but
finished, when Greggy Gordon started
for that basket again. Ebenezer was
wide awake this time, and then and
there determined to solve the mystery
of that baskets fascination. He rudely
grabbed Greggy by his collar, while he
proceeded to examine the weed which
the yelling prisoner had intended to
carry to the basket
Now, then, femme see what all this

Ebenezer yanked the long weed out of
Greggys grasp. He yanked something
else with tia round, hard object
which caused him to yell excitedly at
Turner:
'lIi-don't let 'em git away with .thet
basket"
For the other weeders had OF course
witnessed Greggy's struggle and Ebe-
nezer's discovery. Jim Spencer was
nearest the basket, but John Turner
was only a few feet away from him
Turner started for the basket. Jim
acted like a flash; he threw himself
headlong across Turner's path, drop-
ping on all fours. The farmer. unable
TO get out OF the way. shot headlone

Mr.. Hackett controlled his temper
with difficulty as he expressed his opin-
ion of boy who would be mean and
small enough to punish SO many inno-
cent persons for his own offense. Then
he duly announced that the class might
have until the following morning to
choose its punishment, and the days
lessons began.
Mr.. Hackett may have had some feel
ing of curiosity as to the class choice,
but 1t is safe to say he never would
have guessed what it was. He asked
the result of the overnight delibera-
tions and Frank Williams rose as
spokesman for the Condemned"
''Mr. Hackett, we have selected our
punishment. We are willing to weed
Mr.. Turner's truck garden!'
Stern as old Hack was, he couldn't
keep his face straight. He broke into
chuckle at this unheard of proposition,
and finally said he would refer their
offer to Turner during recess He
didn't think there would be much doubt
about its acceptance. for the miserly
old man was always working for an op-
portunity to "get something for MOTH
ing" To have his enemies toiling
wearily for him would be the height of
Joy.
So it was not surprising to see the
whole school emigrate to Turner's
Punishment victims were not to be
permitted to perform their labors with
out an audience, which consisted OF
the remainder of their fellow pupils,
who were very curious to see what
would happen.
The class in punishment included
Frank Williams, all the other Is mem
bers of the Junior golf Club, besides
a couple of other boys who did not
belong. The girls in the class were
not punished, as 1T was obvious no
girl had any share in the trouble
On arrival they found Turner had
made preparations for their visit, hav-
ing thoughtfully provided several large
baskets to held the weeds, as we'll as
garden Implements, spades. etc His
hired man was also stationed in the
garden as a sort of overseer and how
Turner gloated as the boys marched
into the garden to take up their back
breaking work Frank had also made
a little extra preparation. too. He
brought basket along also.
Then the Is weed pickers started to
work, while those outside the fence
yelled and jeered at them. Old Turner
walked up and down among the bent
figures OF his young enemies gleefully
rubbing his bony hands. Perhaps you've
never had to weed a big truck garden.
II you ever did you know what hard
work ii meant in this case How
ever, there was one thing that escaped
