"Are the little hoys itt Amsters Try
bad?'
"Bad? Aren't tliey bad all the worJ
over? But tltose boys were awful. ;
When your innocent fatlier went in
there they gave one terrifying wlmop j
ana wnt lor mm. liie s4ove in his
hat; the tore his coat; there were a
thousand boys more or less on his
shoulders most of the'iimc and when
your honored parent got outside yon
wouldn't have known him. He was
the worst usvl up parent you ever
saw."
What did those boys do that for?'
Didn't they know you had a little boy1
at home?"
"My- son they didn't stop to make
any inquiries. They seemed fo want
no particulars about my family it
was me they wanted af that moment
and the' got me."
I think that was drendfnl.'
I quite agree with you at the mo-
ment.1 You see this was how u was:
There is om day in the year when 1I
the little boys of Amsterdam havcthe
run of the exchange. If a grewiiup
man goe in that day they have a pic-
nic with him. Tito doorkeeper knew
all alxmt it. but your poor papa didn't
though lie noticed the door man grin
when he -went in."
"H.' was a bad man.1
"II- was indeed) but to makeup for
it he t!d your papa all about why the
boyswe.e there and so that kind of
made u; for it. The guide bok says
that in 1J22. some few years b'forc
you came to this country the boys of
the town discovered a plot of the Span-
iards to tak' the city of Amsterdam
and since that time the children are
allowed to p!ay for a week initio 32x-
change. Bwt I like better tho story
the old man told mfe. It was about
a little boy who was the hero of

"S hat about him?"
"OJi that little boy. Tost know.
lie slaved np all night a id didn't let
the water run into the tow) till his
arm ached. Boot yon remember?"
"Diln't I say this was a new story?
You are trying to work off that old-
one on me"
"Then it isn't that oe with a sigh
of relief.
"No; that danger is pst This is
an eniir-dy fresh one. The little boy
was one day play big nnder abridge.
There are lots c bridges in Amster-
dam. He heard two mon on it barge
tell each other how next day When the
King was to cross that bridge they
were going to blow it ta Xou see
tlie barge was fall of gunaowder. So
the little boy crept out and raw-and
told his father and his father went to (
the palace ami told tho King's men
and they went and caught the two men
and found the barge fail of powder
and then the men confessed and fold
who hat! given thorn the money to do
it The King sent for the ' little boy.
and his father brought him -there be-
fore all the BOBrt. You may be srs
the little boy was very mneh fright
