Tommie tried to avoid Jimmie G. by turning down an alley nearby, but Jimmie was not to be fooled, for he cried out, "Hey, there, Tommie, where y'u beaded for?" and Tommie looked up sheepishly as Jimmie came up to him, but did not say anything. "I say, where y'u goin'?" demanded Jimmie. Oh, just down the street a piece, replied Tommie. "Well, if you won't tell, you won't, and I don't care any way," and Jimmie indignantly turned on his heel and walked away. Tommie had not thought seriously where he was going, but now that he was on his way, he began to think there wasn't many places to go after all. Anyway he would just stay away from home awhile. Oh, maybe be might go back some
time. At noon. Tommie was on a small bridge out at the edge of town eating a bun that he had purchased, when a man drove up in a spring wagon and stopped. lie asked Tommie if he wasn't going his way; to which Tommie replied he guessed be was. The mtn was going out in the country a little piece he said, and Tommie could ride if be wanted to, so Tommie. jumped on behind. He rode a little while without saying anything, and when he happened to look up Into the driver's face andTommie's heart nearly jumped
into his mouth, for, yes, it was the very same man that Jake-Simp-kin a bad pointed out to Tommie as being a thief, and be did say that sometimes he kidnapped little boys, and Tommie never thought of doubting Jake's word. He sat very still during his startling discovery, but as the wagon turned a corner where some tall hedge was growing, be quietly slid off onto the ground, and as Tommie was not a very talkative passenger, the man did not miss him at once and when he did be just supposed the boy bad come to bis destination. When Tommie stood up. for you know we always fall down on our back when we get off of something moving, and gased about him he didn't know at all where he was. bnt he started back towards the way he bad come which took him nearer home. Meanwhile the members at home had . begun to get uneasy, as . It
was getting near four o'clock and Tommie had not come-back yet.
for tbey thought he would . walk around a couple of squares maybe,
then come home. And as they were just about going to send Rob over to find him up the walk he came lagging along looking like a tramp for sure. For after so long a time, dodging automobiles, buggies and keeping a safe distance from savage dogs, he had finally reached home. He was all repentent and willing to obey his elders after that.

AN OLD STORY RETOLD
A Poor Man Saved. Once a man went from one city to another. The path was rough with rocks. The robbers hid themselves ready to jump out upon the traveler and take his money. Suddenly some men sprang out from behind some great rocks and knocked the traveler down. They took all his money and even tore his clothes from him and beat him cruelly. They they ran away and left him all bruised and hurt by the road side. After a while a man caine along and saw the poor hurt man lying there. Instead of going to help him the man hurried away as fast as he could. After a while another man came along. He looked at the hurt man and then he loo went away without doing anything to help. Then there came still another man ridingupon a donkey. This man was the good Samaritan. He saw the poor hurt man lyiag by the road side, and getting off the donkey, he came right over to him. The good Samaritan tied up his wounds, and putting the man upon the donkey, he walked beside him until they came to a hotel. Here the Samaritan asked the hotel keeper for a comfortable room where he put the poor man in bed and stayed with him all night. From Russell Crane, Whitewater School.

THE CONDUCTOR O-ily a few weeks ago there was a boy riding in the elevator at Knollenberg's store, and he seemed to be enjoying it so much that a certain - lady thought she would have some fun with him. "Hello, little boy," she said, "Why are you riding in this elevator? Don't you know they charge five cents a trip?" , The boy looked at her with wideopen eyes for a moment, then holding out his hand he said, "AH right, Lady. Your fare please; I'm the conductor." And the elevator man who has patiently taken children riding for so many years, laughed so hard over this saying of his little passenger that he- sent the little story in to a Chicago paper and received a check in return. -
