disobedience. At last he skunk up close
to the hedge and peered through. Just
then his mother came out on the back
porch and called, "Bobbie!'' Boobies
heart sunk, but he was about to an
swer when there came around the cor
ner of the house, carrying a bucket of
water-who but Bobbie himself. 1t was
a boy with his very clothes on, and his
face and walk; in fact, another perfect
Bobbie, even TO the scar where the colt
kicked him.
Now, Bobbie," he heard his mother
say to the boy, you nave been just as
good as you could be, helping mother
so cheerfully all day. If you will run
down TO the store and get me a cake Of
soap ! will not ask you to do another
thing, but you can play the rest OF the
Day. And here Is quarter to buy that
new kite that you have wanted SO much"
Then. to BObbie's astonishment, the boy
took the quarter and an or to the
returned hid behind big tree. But the
other boy, instead of passing, came
right around behind as though he had
seen Bobbie through the tree.
Here Is the soap and here Is your
kite. Bobbie," the other boy said. Now
run and play"
But who are you asked Bobbie in
wonder. You are just like me, and
mother calls you 'Bobbie.'"
~ am an elf that took the form Of a.
squirrel this morning because / wanted
to dig mp certain root. When that bad
boy would have struck me with a stone
and injured me you stopped him. Now,
knew you were playing truant, so
changed myself into your form and
have teen helping your mother, for.
though it was not good in you to play
truant, YOU had been kind to me. Your
mother thinks 1t is you who have becl
helping hcr all day instead of fishing"
With tlIGt the little fellow vanished.
Bobbie thought very hard OH his way
to the house. chen lie walked hraNely
in, for he had determined to be honest
and tel; the truth.
Here is the sap. mother he said
'but l am going TO help you do all the
other work instead Of flying my kite"
But YOU have been helping me all
day." said his mother.
NO. | have not" he replied. II have
been fishing" Then he told her about
the little elf and how miserable he had
been.
"And now | am going to work the
rest of the day." he said, TO pay for
my running off this morning"
You are good boy, Bobbie," said
his mother, as she kissed him. Then
they went to work and Bobbe worked
so busily, for his heart was light nov,
that long before the day was over he
had finished everything.
Nov, run out and sail your kite

kite and hurried Gayly out. And as he

that the stone which was aimed

wide from 1t.
when did you get so goody -good?'
asked Ned with sneer.
I'm not goody good" replied Bobbie,

brook they were soon busily engaged
in fishing in a promising looking hole. "
The sun crept up the sky until their
shadows were nearly under their feet,
but they did not notice how late it was

Hugo two fish and an eel, while Bobbie
