Billy Whiskers
By Frances Freso Montgdmery.

When the boys got out Of sight and
hearing of the crowd, after they had
ordered the pies they laughed at the
surprise Of the people when Bobbie
had showed his money, and the Of
~f1cious pie man stopped calling out his
wares and began wrapping UP pies as
fast as he could. Y
! what is bothering me is how in the
world l am going to get them home
without MASKING them all to. pieces."l
I'll tell o what you should have
done, and hat Is, have the man de-
liver them in his pie wagon. 1t Is
built on purpose for carrying pies"
THAT is so! Why didn't l think of
it?"
We'll, it isn't too late. You can ask
him. when you go back"
They hurried and hitched Billy to
the cart n Johnnie sat in the Jack
and led Mig. And for a wonder Billy
acted all right and went along n
without baking or backing. i think
it was because he was tired of stand
ing in the stable and glad to get out in
the fresh air. or else he had become
tired Of talking to Mig. Fol- Mig had
a very good opinion of himself and SO
had Billy w. and when two self-opin-
donated, conceited people get together.
they soon grow tired of each others
company, for each likes to talk of
himself and does not care to listen
to the other brag about himself
So now after the two had Dragged
about their adventures, travels and
kthe people with whom they had lived
for an hour, they were each ready to
part company and be taken out of the
she'd.
When Bobbie drove up before the
pie wagon, the man was still busily
wrapping up the pies.
Say, mister, you need not go to all
the bother of wrapping up those pies.
Suppose you, just drive your wagon to
our house and deliver them. 1 am
afraid 1 shall spoil them, if I try to
carry them in this juggling cart"
Yhe man would not agree to this for
a minute, for he was afraid Boobies
people would refuse to take them and
would scold him for selling a boy so
many pies. so he said: ..
Il am very sorry l can't accommo-
date you, being such a good customer,
and in the opposite direction from
where o live that I won't be able to
do 1t. As 1t is. l shan't get home till
way after dark. But l can pack your
pies so they won't get mashed or hurt
in the least. I'll put a fiat layer of
pies In the loor of your cart. and pack
so much tissue paper around them
tney can't move, ana tAcy VIII carry
just as we'll as in my w pie wagon"
