Fixing Things For Arthur.

By HENRY BERLINGOFF.

Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.

Arthur Lynwood looked longingly after Irma Shelby, and Dick, his small brother, glanced up shrewdly' Into bis clean cut face. ‘•Mushy," he said shrewdly, “why don’t you marry her ?" “You scamp!" 1 began Arthur. Then he paused. Dick was only twelve, butmore than once the busy little brain under the thatch of red hair had helped the big brother through a tight place. “I wish 1 knew her, old Chap,” he went on in a different voice. “I’m not mushy, but—well, you know how it Is yourself. I can’t very well force myself on her, and when we have no women folks to call on her I don’t see how we are going to make It.” “They certainly are hard folks to get next to,” admitted Dick? ’‘They’ve been here a month and two days now. and even gabby Mrs. Pitkin -can't get in with them. I guess there isn’t any chance for us. Art, just the three of us men.” Arthur smiled at the phrase “us men.” But, after all, Dick was one of

“I WANT HIM TO MARRY A TOP NOTCHER LIKE YOU.”

the three who had been very lonely lu the big house since Mrs. Lynwood had answered the call of the great beyond. So, with an affectionate pat on the back and a brisk “Never mind, old fellow.” Arthur watched Dick turn into the schoolyard, Dick swung around suddenly after Arthur and tugged at his coat sleeve. “Don’t worry until 1 see what I can do for you," he commanded, then turned and sped back as the last bell was ringing. The promise cheered Arthur oddly. Dick was fertile In invention and could be trusted to bring about even this coveted acquaintance if It could possibly be done. The Sbelbys had kept very much to themselves since they had come to town. Inquiring busybodles had been . told by the inaid that Mrs. Shelby was too ill to receive callers as yet. She begged to be excused for a few weeks more, and the girl—Arthur had discovered that her name was Irma— shared her mother’s seclusion. Despite his confidence in Dick, Arthur was rather surprised that evening when Miss Shelby came running out of the house as he passed. Evidently she had been watching for him, and Arthur paused uncertainly ns she reached the gate. “You are Mr. Lynwood?” she said, with questioning inflection. “And yon are Miss Shelby?” he returned. “I am at your service.” “It’s about your brother —and my brother,” she began in pretty embarrassment. “It seems that your brother made’ an entirely unprovoked attack upon mine after school this afternoon. Poor Robert was badly treated. He is not accustomed to mixing with boys —and he knows little about fighting. I understand that your brother promised him another thrashing tomorrow.” “I shall speak to Dick this evening,” promised Arthur, but just as he gave the assurance Dick came tearing out of the Lynwood house, and Arthur called him acr*ss the street. x He came promptly, for Dick was not a boy to shirk responsibilities. He regarded Irma with mild amusement as Arthur repeated her statement. “He started it,” insisted Dick stoutly. "I guess no fellow’s going to hear his brother called names. Your brotht- r said mine was a dude and a prettj boy, and Art ain’t that. It’s different being just good looking.” “Never mind that,” ordered Arthur hastily. “That is no excuse for vou to ‘lilt him.” “That wasn’t all,” supplemented Dick. “He called you a big stiff and said that if you had any get up and get about you you’d get married and give me another mother to keep me from being lonely, and I told him that there wasn’t anybody good'enough for you, and he said anybody was good enough for you, and then I lammed him a good one, and there was a fight. It wasn’t much of a fight, though,” he

added, with contempt. “I had to chase him four blocks to get In one punch.” “Do you understand that you will be thrashed If you lay hands on young Shelby again?” demanded Arthur seriously. “I’ll lick him if he talks about you," declared Dick truculently. He then proceeded to address his remarks to Miss Shelby. “Art’s just the best ever,” he explained. ‘ Ever since mother died he’s done everything for me, and I ain’t going to have any boy call him names and say that any girl is good enough for him to marry. When he marries I want him to marry a top notcher like you." The girl's face went crimson at the praise and its suggestion, but she smiled into the freckled face before she turned to Arthur. “I shall see that Robert is punished if he repeats his offense.” she promised, “and I don’t blame such a loyal little hero worshiper for defending bis big brother. I don't blame him one bit,” she added, coloring again as she let her eyes rest for an instant on the grave, handsome face. “I shall be glad to see you should you care to be neighborly, Mr. Lynwood. Mother is improving, hut she wishes to be stronger before she faces the influx of the kindly and the curious.” “I shall be glad to run in this evening if I may,” was the quick response, and Arthur was too eager for an answer to observe the elaborate wink with which Dick favored him. The girl gave assent promptly, and the big and the little brother bowed. Dick hung back at the Lynwood gate. “I got something to do,” he explained reproachfully. “You were late this evening. You always come home about 5.” “A client cnine In at the last moment,” explained Arthur. “Were you waiting to see me?” “Only about an hour.” answered Dick. “I figured she would lay for you at the gate, and I wanted to finish off the job. I’ll l>e home in about an hour, Art.” He dashed off down the street and by a circuitous route reached the rear? of the Shelby house, where the plump and somewhat cherubic Robert was playing by himself. He started to run when Dick appeared on the scene, but, the more active lad had his victim pinioned by the arms, while one mittened hand was clapped over the squirming one’s mouth. “I ain’t going to hurt you—now,” promised Dick. “I just want to talk to you. You told your sister that I punched you for nothing, didn’t you?” “That’s just what you did,” wailed Bob Shelby. “That ain't so,” corrected Dick. “I did punch you for something, but I ain’t telling you what for. I told your sister that I licked you for calling my brother names, and if you ever dare say that it ain’t so I’ll get you In a corner where you can’t run away and —you'll know how it feels to be in a dynamite explosion. I can do it, can’t I?” he added fiercely, and the shrinking lad assured his lord and master that he certainly could. “I don’t want to have to do it.” explained Dick. “You’re so soft that if I beat you much you’ll get out of shape, and you ain’t got too much shape as it is. You’ll make a fierce brother-in-law, Skinny, but I suppose that I’ll have to stand you, for I’ve been fixing things for Arthur and—well, I guess you go with the family.”

So Near and Yet So Far.

“I’ve lived for twenty years in New York apartments,” said a man who would rather pay rent than shovel snow around his own home, “and I’ve encountered some extraordinary wrinkles in that form of existence. But the queerest thing of all happened a few days ago.” “Rent reduced?” asked an alleged humorist. “No. In the apartment over me has lived for four years a family which I came to know pretty well. While not on visiting terms, we met often and agreeably. The head of the house was a fine fellow, for whom I entertained a sincere liking. “Well, this man, a familiar acquaintance, living In the same house with me, died suddenly and had been buried nearly two weeks before I heard of his death, and then I learned of it quite accidentally through a chance remark by the elevator boy. “A neat commentary on New York life, isn’t it? I wonder what they’d think of it down on the old farm?”— New York Globe.

A Canine Marvel.

A contemporary relates an extraordinary story, of the strength of a dog’s jaws, which, as It Is given With full details, we accept In good faith. The strength of a dog’s jaws and teeth were never more exemplified than In the case of a Ross-shlre gamekeeper, whose collie was unfortunate enough to be caught in a steel vermin trap. The gamekeeper, gun In hand, was soon on the scene, but In the short time the dog had become quite Infuriated with pain. Having nothing suitable for muzzling the animal and fearing to place his foot upon the trap spring with the dog’s jaws free, the gamekeeper placed the gun barrels In the dog’s mouth and held them there while easing the spring. With a vicious snap the teeth closed on the cold steel ere he regained hla freedom. The barrels, which are of steel, were holed through—an almost Incredible performance—and were examined shortly after. —-London Graphic.

MAYBE.

SOME evenin's I reach for my hat. And down the stepe I rush a-sttrm-blin’, Like I was blind as any bat. And growlin’ all the way and grumblin' Till you would laugh at me or you Would sympathize some with me maybe. But anyhdw that's-how I do , When my wife starts to spank ths baby. I know If I butt In at all My wife will not be apt to thank Sue, And still I hear my baby call To me, "Please, dad, don’t let her 'pank me!" And I Just have to rush outside Anil down the street a-gallivantln', And in my ears at every stride My baby's pleadin' voice comes ha'ntln’. And sometimes I halfway turn back At the remembrance of her pleadin’. Halfway worked up to fly the track. Although I know the baby's needin' A tender dingbat now and then, When her wee feet go widely strayin’. When she has run away or when She's mussed her clean dress up a-playin'. But that don't make It easy none For me when mother spanks the baby. And I just grab my hat and run And don't come back again till maybe The babies are all tucked in bed. Ail snuggled in and soundly Bleepin’, With all their lay-mes softly said And with an end to all their weepin’. That baby Is the cutest slip And says the quaintest things, doggone it'! Sometimes when mamma says, , “I’ll whip!” She says: “You tan’t. I'm settin' on it!” Now, after a reply like that Who could watch baby get the paddle? No wonder I reach for my hat And don’t look back as I skedaddle I like to think I'd hear the call .And go to war long with the quickest And stand firm where the bullets fall And where the slayin’ blows fall thickest. Maybe I would stand up and fight. And I'd die facin' tjie foe maybe. I think the bravest men take flight When It gets time to spank the baby.

She Had Often Studied It.

Little Marie had returned from her first visit to Sunday school. “And what lesson are you to study for next Sunday?” her mother asked. “Nuffin’ much,” said the four-year-old rather scornfully. “Her jest said to learn all about the eataklssin’, and me knowed that already.” Lippincott’s Magazine.

An Advantage.

“But your country is so lacking in places of historic interest,” said the European. “That’s one of its great advantages,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “In this country a man can travel for hours without being obliged to listen to a lecture.”—Washington Star.
