Billy Whi3kers
By Frances 1rego Montgomery.

Just as Jim caught Stubby the
farmer came out of the house to see
what had caused ehe little burro to
make such a fuss. He came face to
face with Jim. carrying Stubby in
his arms. Jim was about to knock
at he kitchen door and ask assistance
of the farmer in catching his ami
mails.
Jim told a good story, which the
farmer believed, and one which
Stubby hoped would choke him in
the telling. as he held the little dog
in his arms But NO such good luck
happened, and the next thing the
four chums knew they were dressed
up in their fine clothes again and
going over the oft-repeated perform
ance at the back door of the farm
house to the clapping of apprecia-
tive hands and the laughter of a
pleased audience.
This thing went on day after day
until the four chunas were tired near
ly to death. when they began to rec
ognize the country they were passing
through as that not far from the ola
farm where Billy lived.
Could such good luck be true?
They put their heads together and
talked over the surprise it would
give Mamie Billy Junior and the
twins to see them dressed up in their
line clothes and performing tricks in
front of their old home
The kidnappers. not having recog-
nized this part of the country as that
from which they had stolen the ami
mails, were trudging along all unsus-
pecting while the chumS were laugh
ing to themselves to think what a
good joke it would be on the kidnap-.
ers when they were showing the ami
mails to have Mr.. Watson come OUT
and claim them as his own.
The four friends were so over-s
joyed at the prospect OF seeing home
and friends once more that theys
could neither sleep or neat the last
two days of the journey, for fear the
kidnapers would recognize the coun-
try as being the same from which
they had stolen them.
But the kidnapers had never known
that part of the country very well
and as it was pitch dark the nishr
they stole Billy. and that over a
year ago. they went blindly forward
and, one might say. right into the
very jaws of death, for they walked
straight through Mr.. Watson's front
gate one bright morning. not even
suspect1ng where they were going
The men started playing and the
animals started performing.
Il hear music" said one of the
twins to the other, as Billy Whis-
kers' grandchildren were playing un-
der an apple tree at the old farm just
one year from the time their grand.
father had been kidnapped.
Il wonder why grandfather does
not come back?' remarked Judy.
He'll come before long. III bet"
replied Punch.
Maybe he'll never come. He NAV
have been killed. said Judy. and
her eyes filled with tears, for she
was very fond of her indulgent
grandparent.
II wish,' said Punch. that he
would come and take us on those nice
walks and tell us about his adyen-
lures"
(They did not have long to wadt
or their wish to be fulfilled. as Won
will see.)

A Sermon on Bootleggers.
Could More Sinners Be Saved By
Mild Than by Harsh Methodist

To THE New YORK HERALD: Are the
churches of to-day to teach love or hate?
On Palm Sunday / visited church
where love certainly was not being
taught. AS a matter Of fact the SER
mon was all political and condemned
humanity. Such words were used as II
condemn modernism and damn the
movies" and damn the bootleggers."
church may favor prohibition. Of
church open for such a purpose as
making denunciations like those 1 have
quoted while the real spiritual work of
the church is neglected.
AS regards bootleggers. the preacher
said that they should all be dcpcrted to
the countries from which they came.
Would it not be better to accept and
welcome all sinners in the church, in
cluding bootleggers, and teach them how
to store up treasure for the life that is
everlasting. and to be satisfied with what
they get in honest ways here in the ma
terial life? If it was not for the money
in bootlegging we would not have so
much Of it going on.
Love and understanding can do more
for sinners and lawbreakers than any
thing else. II all churches and all spir-
itual teachers would try to lead bootleg
gers to a better understanding and teach
them better purpose in living the
world would be better place for US all.
