Percival had eye trouble which ac-

So Percivalf was received as fell

not think of anything "ornery'

But finally, after Percival had

Just put in little. It'll be bad
enough" Skinny spoke from ex-
perience.
Say, that's so," Responded Snub
as he cautiously sprinkled a few
drops over Percy's ice cream.
Then they went over under, the
tree, where Percy was waiting.
Let's see who can take the big

gested Snub:

So Percival heaped up his spoon
with the rest OF them. Every one
took the biggest bite possible and
then all looked expectantIy at Per-
cy, but nothing happened. He
calmly took another bite,ta smaller
one. The Sfellows gasped.
