And his eyes raised to a cheap crayon
portrait on the wall 1t was of a fine
looking, strongly built man IN his prime.
"Grandpap looks every inch a general,
Scotty said "Wisht could do something
great-something brave. like he did"
Granny sighed. But Grandpap had to
pay dearly for his bravery" she said,
shaking her head slowly. He was a brave
soldier-a fine officer after he was made
captain. All, he did his duty for his coun-

Yes. Granny. he died for IT," said scotty.

Then Scotty went 20 the woodshed to
cut kndling for the morning use. AS he
was pulling about among some broken
boxes his eye fell on a big packing box
that his grandmother had kept for some
future use. "Ah," said Scotty, that's
the box Granny said a coaster-a little
bobsled-could be made from. Wonder II
l could make one? Believe I'll tTy!"
A little later Scotty was busy In the
kitchen Granny watching him and giving
suggestions concerning his work. He had
borrowed from a neighbor a saw, Ratchet
and plane. and with the addition OF his
strong pocketknfe and few nails soon
had a very good homemade" sled, with
wooden runners, OF course. But the run

carpenter work. He had built kitchen

I was presented with little Boston ter
rier which l afterwards named Deco Deco,
/ thought, was queer name, but got used
to It. A man by the name OF Mr. Boyle
gave It to me, You can iuaglne how happy
l was.
Deco came clear from Boston, Mass.
When he arrived here the men at the
depot fed him so much that it seemed to
me he ought to burst But strange as it
may seem he did not

After a bit l tried to teach him some
tricks, but he was too full of fun.
One Sunday afternoon We took him over
to Mr.. Boyle's house, because we wanted
to go for trip the next day. When we
left Deco wanted to come with u.s. but we
knew ne would be more bother than he
was worth.
We had fine trip.
When we came back again the first thing
we did was to get Deco. When we got
him into our house he jumped up and down.

the tools and nails to good advantage.
Now a piece of that old clothes line
will do for the front" said Granny. And
he went into the cellar and cut from n
looped-up clothes line five feet Of rope

When all was done, the sled ready for
use, Scotty looked at the clock. TOO late
TO try 1t tonight, Granny, It's half-past
10! Who could believe that l have been
three hours making that sled? Well, hours
do fly when one is preparing for good
time" he said.
Yes, son, and hope you'll have many
a pleasant hour on the hillside with that
little home made sled" said the dear old
grandmother. And now Wen go 10 bed.

know"
Yes, must sell all my morning papers,

said Scotty,
The next day was Saturday and Scotty

through with his chores and went out to
the coasting hill to enjoy an hour with
his new sled. Hardly had he appeared

had fine steel-framed coasters to ride on,
began 20 laugh at him and to ridicule
his homemade" sled. Look at it," cried
one boy. say It must have come out of
the ark! Gee, 1t will go like a washtub!
Just about as clumsy"
Then a roar Of laughter went up at
scottys expense. His face renddened, but
he was not a coward and dragged his sled
to the top OF the hill, preparatory to
coasting down. The children stood in
groups, discussing him and his funny
looking old homemade sled" But Scotty
did not pay any heed TO their thrusts and
took a comfortable position on the sled
and started down the hill. At the same
time a very fine sled started also; seated
on 1t was the boy who had cried out to
him so insultingly Just a minute before.
They ran almost neck and neck toward the
bottom Of the hill, Scotty turning deaf
ear to the boys rude and unfriendly
taunts about his sled.

OF the coasting hill, where the sleds found
a good landing place on an untrsveled

BY Robert Lane Buckingham, Aged II
Years, llH South Thirty-first Street,
Omaha, Neb Red Side.
Old Jim was brought to the farm in May
and was put to work on the pillow with
Daisy.
He was e good horse and good natured
as well, but he knew only the one gait and
that was dog trot He was gentle and
mild and as obedient as a dog.
One day Joe, the masters son, was told
to go to the doctors and get some medicine.
He put the saddle on Jim and rode into the
finally they came to the Doctors Joe de-
cided to take short cut coming back so
turned Jim up a different path.
1t was growing dark and still they did
not find the crossroad At last Joe drew
up and said, Il don't see where we are.
They tried again and failed again and
again until Joe said quite low, IT'S up to
you, jim"
Jim seemed to understand and went back
to the roads which they had come over
and which Joe had tried to find all after
noon,
When they got home he met his father
with a lantern in the barn waiting for
him.
He patted Jim and said, Father, Jim ha.

Jim Is dead now, but he always has

and made toward the very spot that Scotty
and his tormentor would reach within the
space Of a few moments Scotty was sit
ting upright on his sled and knew that
he could manage to miss the runaway
horse and dray. But the boy who raced
beside him was lying face downward on
his coaster and evidently was too busy
haunting Seotty to notice the danger that
threatened him, Scotty had no time to
think. His first impulse was carried out
instantly. He threw himself from his sled
which was a few feet from the boys
sled and slightly in advance of it-just in
time to stop the sled's progress and to
grasp the boy in his arms. The two rolled
over two or three times in the snow and
their sleds went on toward the bottom OF
the slippery slide.
When Scotty seized his racing opponent
the fellow tried fighting him off What
are you about, you numbskull?" he bel
lowed in Scotty's face. "Ill give you
what you deserve for this--if you call 1t
a joke"
But the watching crowd on top Of the
hill were cheering wildly, and after two
or three brief seconds, when Scotty and
his companion-in-arms stopped rolling and
sat up, the later heard such cries as
Good for the news kid He saved Berts
life! Good for the chap with the bum

Rubbing his face, the boy, whose name
was Bert, looked inqUiringly at scotty,
Scotty pointed a finger toward the bottom
of the slide. Look at our sleds," ne said
And see that runaway horse going down

1t took Bert some minutes to understand
It all. Then truth daWned in his mind

Edith's Dream.

BY Marie Schroeder, Aged y Years. 1902
North Twenty ninth Street, Omaha Neb
Blue Side.
Little Edith was sitting in her new ham
mock reading from a fairy tale book II
was a warm day and she felt rather tired
and sleepy. She was reading about a
little sick girl and fairy. The story was
long and when she was about half way
through she fell asleep.
She dreamed that she became very sick.
Her mother called the doctor and he said
she would have to stay in bed for a long.
long time. That night the fairies had a
meeting in Ediths room. One of the
fairies, whose name was Thought, said, Il
think we all ought to try to make poor
little Edith well. She is very good little
girl and helps all poor children and treats
everybody kindly"
The next day the doctor came and he
said she had improved very much and
could get up in two or three days.
Suddenly some one shook Edith Get
up, lazy bones!" She awoke and found
that she had been dreaming. She told her
mother about II and they both laughed
very heartily. Indeed, everybody was glad
that Edith had not been sick, for all the
people loved her.

newsboy who Is big-hearted enough
to save a FOOLS life. fool who hopes
10 repay his great service in some way"
Scotty felt bit abashed. Playing the
hero was not in his line, but he could
not get away from the girls and boys
who swarmed-fifty in number-about him.
Each one wanted to shake his hand and
to say something nice to him. So, blush
ing like a girl, Scotty stood there, wishing
he could break away and run home to
his dear old Granny"
The next day there boys, Bert leading
them, tapped at the door TO Scotty's home.
When Granny" admitted them Bert
dragged in behind him a fine coaster, one
that any boy might be happy TO own. And
he bore a letter from his father to Scotty;
asking him to call at his office on a little
matter Of business.
You see, ma'am, this little present
designing the COASTER is for Scotty,
your grandson. 1 know It is a tnfling
thing, but haven't any other way OF ex-
pressing my gratitude to him. But in the
years that are TO come / want to be a
friend TO your grandson-a friend he may
call upon in any sort Of pinch OF trouble.
And-papa has a proposition to make TO
him."
And Bert's fathers proposition was a
very good one. He proposed that Scotty
and his grandmother move into one OF his
pretty residences where half the house
should be set aside for their use and the
remaining rooms let to another tenant
Scotty's grandmother should be caretaker,
thus paying their rent in looking after the
place. ScOtty was to attend school along
with Bert and work on Saturday-certain
hours-for Berts father, who was a
wealthy merchant

after they had moved into their new
quarters. And you don't have 70 sell

and learn all about books and business.
