boy on the other porch, that he did not

Billy held up his hands to catch a
ball which Jimmy made believe to
throw.
Miss Minerva still read on, uncon-
scious of her nephew's inattention:
The suffering at Valley Forge had
been intense during the winter"
Billy made a pretense behind his
aunt's upright back Of throwing a ball
while the other child held up two fat
little hands to receive 1t. Again he
laughed aloud as Jimmy spat on his
hands and ground the imaginary ball
into his hip.
She looked at him sternly over her
glasses:
What makes you SO silly?" she in
quired, and without waiting for a reply
went on with her reading; she was
nearing the close now and she read
carefully and deliberately.
"And he was chosen the first presi-
dent OF the United States"
Billy put his hands to his ears and
wriggled his fingers at Jimmy, who
promptly returned the compliment.
HE had no children OF his own, so
he Is called the Father Of his Coun'

Miss Minerva closed the book,
turned to the little boy at her side.

gave himself up to the full enjoyment

fear Of imminent detection.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Infant Mind Shoots.

Miss Minerva had bought a book for
Billy entitled "Stories of Great and
Good Men, which she frequently read
to him for his education and improve
ment. These stories related the prin-
cipal events In the lives of the heroes
but never mentioned any names, al
ways asking at the end, Can you tell
me who this mar was?' .
Her nephew heard the stories SO
often that he had some expression or
incident by which he could identify
each, without paying much attention
while she was reading.
He and his aunt had just settled
themselves on the porch for a reading.
Jimmy was on his wi porch cutting
up funny capers, and making faces for
the other child's amusement.
"Lemme go over to Jimmy's, Aunt
Minerva" pleaded her nephew, AN
you can read to me tonight. I'd a
heap ruther not hear you read right
now. 1t II make my belly ache"
Miss Minerva looked at him severe.

That Was Different.

A stern father who had repeatedly
told a young man who was paying his
addresses to his daughter not to visit
the house again without his permits

was surprised when he answered a
ring at the doorbell late one evening
to see the young man waiting on the
step.

you not to call again, eh, sir?"
