earth, she married James who play
ed the ponies.
What does playing the ponies"
mean? Well, little dears, 1t means
that James thought he knew about
the trot horses, the thoroughbred gee
gees, the slim, bright-coated, frisky
fellows who are the first essentials
in the sport of kings which is so
likely to die of starvation these days
because other sports have 1t outclass-
ed.
Also her James trifled with the IT,
ger. No, dears, he wasn't lion Ia
mer by profession. In fact, the tiger
sometimes had him quite tame. But
his real business was with the ponies.
Their light feet tap-tapped through his
waking dreams and his sleeping
dreams, and quite frequently they be-
came golden realities. Because James
was in the know.
But when Genevieve married her
James she did SO after his days of
taking chance were over He prom
Used himself on his wedding day that
he would never make another bet, and
when James made a promise it was a
perfectly good promise. He kept 1t
even to his own hurt, because James
was a true sport.
Genevieye fancied, poor child, when
she married this James who played
the ponies that she was going to get

and be jimmy, just like she had
dreamed But she found that when
they went to a musical comedy and
James laughed big, good-natured
laugh and knew the songs right away,
so that he sang them In a high tenor
voice as soon as ever they got home.
No. he did not sing them at the show.
Have l not already specified that
James was a true sport?
James had a golden tenor voice that
would have made anything sound
good, so Genevieye rather enjoyed
the musical comedy and its repetition
at home. But after they had heard
the songs aud laughed their little
laugh, they used to go to quiet lit
tie cafe or drug store or some sim
ilarly reposeful spot and have ice
cream soda or ginger ale. She found
that James never drank anything
stronger than ginger ale.

Before hot, dry summer weather

fore applying the mulch fork up the

then spread the straw on grass. The

feet from the trunk of the tree to pro.
