astonishing lot of good things as this five dollars
will do. ;.

8he P refer Rowdy to Her Nelgfibor's Boy
Tori the waihr to School.
When I . woke up and took hold of Rowdy'
ear and kissed him his slspbsnger on the snoot
it was Wednesdav mornin: and now the week is
more than half gone and I have not got any one
to play wiU and I Sent -care some kids would
hove crawled under the. house way back by Ue
steps and cried Ueir eyes out' but hot an IriU
kid. . I am the only kid that has got Rowdy snd
my own true daddy and I would not trade them
for all th fathers and' dog in the world or for
all Ue lads to play with. When I was going
past Carpenters' Mrs. Carpenter told me to wait
minute and Wilbur would com out aad walk
to school with me but f' smiled at her and told
her I would rather walk wiU just Rowdy and
she -smiled with her mouth but not with her eyes
and the rest of her fsce. She wanted to tell me
Uat I was" k little savage and Ue would Uink
my mother Vou'd Urn over in her grave and that
what I ;0ecd-is a good 'spanking with a swear
wood to .it but Ae-id. not do t Because she
wants our washing. . . ..
I crossed .ihe street to Ue other torner way
out of my way because I saw the new -baby over
there in a baby buggy and it is aot sues s bad
looking baby after sllbut I am going to let Ue
woman keep it I have got a dnU ilhat 1 was
craxy to' play with "when I first got it but it
has been sitting up on the dresser for a long
time now and I do not want to play with it at
n and if would probably be Uat way wiU a
baby. I was getting tired of playing with Nellie
and I would probably have stopped if she had not
topped 'first. Me and Rowdy went to old maid
Tompkins' sfter we had given the baby the once
over and I told her that I had mad up my mind
that I did not want a little sister and she said
that was a real sensible idea. So I told her then
that I was going to. aak God to send her a baby
because she was always at home and ahe could
take care of it and that would be better than for
me to hare one because; she is a friend of mtne
and she would let me come in and play with it
wnengver 1 ten nae It-:
She dropped- her aewine and said. "Patsr Kil-
dare don't .von dare. Yon are as eloae to God
that l am afraid to have -you aak. Him anything;
use mat. ou run along .ie kdool it weuie
be all right for me to have a nice little baby in
Ue house .but this would be no place for the baby
for old maids do not like 1 babies and I would
probably abuse it dreadfully." I said "If God
senas s ddv nere and you ever souse it 1 win
make Rowdy eat you up!" 1 And Uen me and
Rowdy went to school. I did aot know old maids
aid not uae bames out 1 guess bod knows it all
right for He never send them any. .
' WIim - aMJ Tn... J .u. J
were running down the m!ddteJf the road like
we always' do to go. to school an. automobile
honked so hard ria-ht behind tne that it nearly
tore my hair off and me and -Rowdy jumped
away over into' Ue gutter to let it go by but
it didn't and it kept honking and "then it stopped
right by me .and I looked around and there was
my teacher and the river young nun sitting in
it and it was bright green and he mid "Hop ia
Patsr." so I hoDoed in and Ue teacher held sn
and Rowdy hopped on the running board and Ue
man stepped on leomeUuig that made-Ue ' auto
jump like he had hurt it but 1 guAa. he hadn't
because it-om not nouer out it cenamiy did go
iv trom were ns a cat wtts e ciotnesptn on its
I. All tbe teachers and scholars were out
tail
watching us when we stopped in front of Ue
school and Ue teacher and me and Rowdy step-
ped out. We were not proud at alt but we was
just kinds glad we were there and Uat Uey saw
us. Nellie Turner can go' play with a rag baby
now' if she wants to for all of me. ' A ' ''.
Then Ue young man stepped eatteAmntf again
and the auto jumped again and I-guise it hurt
Uat time for it honked as loud as it could and
he waved hi hand at ue and looked bach till fae
nearly took a telegraph pole off the corner whan
he went around it Then he was gone nd Miss
Peachy and I went inside. And before- die beH
rang ahe gave me a hug and called me k darling.
I know I am a darlin-. for all Irish .little cirla
are. butt it took her a long time to find ijt out. :
- When I bought my howl of soup from Ue
jinitor wife it was turtle soup for she said so;
and I Kked mine and Rowdy liked nisif 'f was
certainlr surprised' and Ue first time I catch
another turtle I am going to surprise my father.
It makes -me msd to think how many 'timcs I
have bad turtles and not know Uat theyv'could
make soup; ; The young man called for' Miss
Peachy and me again and we had supper and some
bones for Rowdy at a .reataursoc He says-: .am
Ueir omshal anappyroan whatever that is. He
has got very nice' teeth.' If rI was' not goiqd to
marry nry own true daddy when I grew ud I
would have got engaged to him myaelf.. - - .v.
1 Then Uey took me and Rowdy home' ende
kneeled - and : prayed - ? Dear God. which art in
heaven. Did yea see that green car ''Wasn't'
that some cart . But plea dont let U young
man . hurt it any more. Amen.r .
