Billy Whi; kers
By Frances Irego Montgomery.

Father William decided his chiI- dren should have strong, healthy bod ies. He realized, if the twins did not, the advantage of the bounding high spirits which good health gives and so he watched over them and saw to it that they ate the most whole some food-no stolen sweets for them; that they had long hours of refreshing sleep, and plenty of reg ular exercise. Needless to add, the twins grew and gave promise of de-
 veloping into as fine specimens of goathcod as Father William had been
 when in his prime.
 Likely this happy goat family
 would have lived on in peace and quiet at CIoverleaf Farm and this
 story never been written had it not
 been during the Easter vacation it
 was the habit of Frank and Ernest
 Nelson to come to the Treat home
 steah. They lived in the crowded
 city of Pittsburg, and it was their
 good fortune to receive an invitation
 from the Treat boys each year to come out to the country to enjoy the brief rest from tiresome schooiroom and tedious lessons.
 This year Easter fell 1ate-the very last of April-and so great plans were laid for good times out-of-doors, for around Sprinfie1d one may hope to find spring beauties in the long grass of the meadows, and violets hiding their bashful heads in the fence cor ners even this early in the year. 1 As soon as school was dismissed on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday.
 three eager boys scurried home in double quick time, tossed books on the porch as they passed, and hur- ried on to the stable, for their father had said he would have Browney hitched to the surrey. all ready to drive to the station to meet their guests. This was a very important occasion, for it was the first time the Treat boys had ever been allowed to drive so far alone, and so the day had been marked down on their calendar l in great. red letters ever since the promise had been given. Sure enough. there stood patient Browny, the family borse, ready for use, and he greeted the boys with 8 whinny, rubbing his nose affectionate- l Iy against Toms shoulder as the lad 1 untied him, as much as to say: Never you fearI I'll take you
 there and back. I'm on my good be- havior, in honor of the day" Tom gave an extra betting, then threw the hitching strap beneath the 1 front seat and climbed in. l It is surprising how easily boys i can agree tat times when they feaF even the slightest quarrel will take | away some coveted pleasure. Under 1 ordinary circumstances Harry would have contested Toms usurpation of
 the drivers seat, but today he meekIy
 took his place on the left side, hold~ | ing Dick on his lap.
 l As Tom gathered up the reins, their father appeared at the door of the great barn, and called the warn- ing:
 Be careful, boys, and remember t0 hitch on the street, not down by the l tracks!"
 "Yes, sir!" they answered as one,
 and waved a farewell as they turned into the main road.
 (Tomorrow you'll hear more of the 1 Nelson boys.)
