nephew But he was SO busy keeping
one eye on her and one on the little
boy on the other porch, that he did not
have time to use his ears at all and SO
did not hear one word.
Leaving his camp fires burning to
deceive the enemy, he stole around by
circuitous route, fell upon the Brit.

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 pretense behind his
aunts upright back Of throwing a ball
while the other child held up two fat
little hands to receive It, 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 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-
try"
Miss Minerva closed the book,
turned to the little boy at her side,
and asked:
who was this great and good man,
William?"
Jesus" was his ready answer, in an
appropriately solemn little voice.
why, William Green Hill" she ex-
claimed in disgust. What are you
thinking Of? don't believe you heard
one word that read"
Billy was puzzled; he was sure she
had said Born In manger." II didn't

"Jesus!" his aunt was saying, born

boy, who had received his cue.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Infant Mind Shoots.


Miss Minerva had bought book for
Billy entitled Stories OF Great and
Good Men," which she frequently read
to him for his education and improve
nent. 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 man was?
Her nephew heard the stories so
often that he had some expression or
incident by which he could identity
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 own porch cutting
UP lunny capcrs. and making faces for
the other child's amusement.
Lemmc go over to Jimmy's, Aunt
Minerva" pleaded her nephew. IAN

Miss Minerva looked at him severe

enthusiasm. We'll, jes' lemme ask

without doubt the best picture of it's

wagers as to which horse would win.
These raes were staged at the fa-

the entries were chosen from the
worlds fastest thoroughbred runners.
The whole story revolves around
Colonel Taylors love for thorough

tunes are staked.
At race, My Lady. a horse be-
longing to Colonel Taylor, true
southern gentleman, wins, but is in
jured so seriously that she will be un-

Wilfred Warren, young gentle
man, wagers large sum on the mare.

Taylor being in Strengthened circum-
