Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Black were
sitting on Miss Minerva's veranda talk

were IN the swing with Billy. The at
traction proved too great for Jimmy;
he impolitely left disconsolate little

he jumped the fence and joined the
other children.

greeting as he took his seat by Billy.

to 'commodate him; then he gives ba-
bies to everybody but US"
q m awful glad he never give EN-

never could had no more fun; they'd
be struck right under my nose all
time, and all time put their mouth in
everything you want to do, and all

What s that?" questioned Frances.

planned Jimmy.

asked

said Billy.

after a short silence.

Billy glanced nonchalantly at her.
Don't you think, Aunt Minerva" he
made answer, 81 s gittin' too big to go
thout any shoes? I s mos ready to
put on long pants, an how'd I look,
Id Jest like to know, goin' round bare

q just believe you won't. Go take
them off at once and hurry back to

'Lemme jest wait tell I eats" he
begged, hoping to postpone the evil
hour of exposure.
NO, go at once, and be sure and
wash your hands"
Miss Minerva spied the paint the in
slant he made his second entrance
and Immediately inquired, How did
you get that paint on your feet?"
The little boy took his seat at the
table and looked up at her with his
sweet, attractive, winning smile.
Paint pertec's little boys feets," he
said, an keeps EN- f'om gittin' hurt

Miss Minerva laid down her fork
and gave her nephew her undivided
attention.

about it. Are you afraid of me?"
"Yas m" was his prompt response,
AN I don't want to be put to bed
neither. The major he would MT put
little boys to bed day times"
She blushed and eyed him thought
fully. She was making slow progress
with the child, she knew, yet she still
felt it her stern duty to be very strict
with him and, having laid down GER
tain rules to rear him by, she wished
to adhere to them.

made a full confession, 81 won't pun

Say, does you kiss him like you
does me?" he asked presently, look
ing up at her with serious. unsmiling
face.
She hid her embarrassment in a
laugh.
Don't be foolish. Billy" she replied.
"PIl bet he's kissed you moren
fifty hundred times"
There's Jimmy whistling for you, ="
said Miss Cecilia. How do you two
boys make that peculiar whistle?

as he ever kiss you YETI" asked the
child.
Z heard that you and Jimmy
whipped Ed Brown because he imi-
tated your own particular whistle.
Did you?"
How many times is he kiss you?"
asked Billy.
The young girl put her arm around
hun and tried to nestle his little body
against her own.
I'm too big, anyway, for your real
sweetheart" she said. "Why, by the
time you are large enough to marry I
should be an old maid. You must have
Frances or Lima for your sweetheart"
AN let you have Maurice!" he
gneered.
She stopped to lay her flushed
cheek against his own.
Honey" she softly said, Maurice
and I are going to be married soon;

He pushed her roughly from him.
