"I Tl jest slide down this-here post and-git the painter man to bring his ladder back. all wait up here' Billy's solution of the difficulty seemed the safest, and they were soon released from their elevated prison. "I might as well go home and be learning the catechism," groaned Lina.

"I 'm going to get right in the closet 's I get to my house," said Frances. "Go on and put on your nightshirt, Billy." Billy took himself to the bathroom and scrubbed and scrubbed; but the paint refused to come off. He tiptoed by the kitchen where his aunt was cooking dinner and ran into his own room. He found the shoes and stockings which were reserved for Sunday wear, and soon had them upon his little feet. Miss Minerva rang the dinner-bell and he walked quietly' into the dining-room trying to make as little noise and to attract as little attention from his aunt as possible; but she fastened her eyes at once upon his feet.

"What are you doing with your shoes on, she asked. Billy glanced nonchalantly at her. "Don't you think, Aunt Minerva," he made answer, "I 's gittin' too big to go 'thout any shoes? I 's mos ready to put on long pants, an' how'd I look, I'd Jest like to know, goin round' barefooted an' got on long breeches. I don' believe I '11 go barefooted no mo 111 Jest wear my shoes ev'y day." "I just believe you won't. Go take them off at once and hurry back to your dinner." "Lemme jest wait tell I eats," he begged, hoping to postpone the evil hour of exposure.

"No, go at once, and be sure and Miss Minerva spied the paint the Instant he made his second entrance and Immediately inquired, "How did you get that paint on your feet?" The little boy took his seat at the table and looked up at her with his sweet, attractive, winning smile. "Paint pertec's little boys' feets," he said, "an' keeps 'em f'om gittin' hurt-ed, Aunt Minerva, don't it?" Miss Minerva laid down her fork and gave her nephew her undivided attention. "You have been getting into mischief again, I see, William; now tell me all about it. Are you afraid of me?" (To Be Continued.) DRAG THEM.

Whereas, That on the 18th day of March, 1912, there was duly presented to the board commissioners of the Tznrs ixictor stanrora woura 've give Miss Cecilia those twinses for a wedding present," said Frances.

I "Who is that little boy sitting on your porch, Jimmy?" asked Lina, no- tlcing for the first time a lonely-looking child. "That's Leon Tipton, Aunt Ella's little boy. He just come out from Memphis to spend the day with me and I'll be awful glad when he goes home; he's 'bout the stuck-up-est kid they is, and skeery? He 's 'bout the 'fraldest young un ever you see. And look at him now! Wears long curls like a girl and don't want to never get his clean clo'es dirty." "I think he 's a beautiful little boy," championed Lina. "Call him over here, Jimmy." "Naw, I doh't want to.

You all '11 like him a heap better over there; he's one o' these-here kids what the fur-der you get "way from 'em, the better you like 'em." "He sho' do look lonesome," said Billy; "'vite him over, Jimmy." "Leon!" screamed his cousin, "you can come over here if you wanttav," The lonesome-looking little boy promptly accepted the invitation, and came primly through the two gates. He walked proudly to the swing and stood, cap in hand, waiting for an introduction. "Why did n't you clam' the fence, 'stead of coming th'oo the gates?" growled Jimmy. "You 'bout ihe prissiest boy they is. Well, why don't you set down?" "Introduce me, please," said the elegant little city boy.

"Interduce your grandma's pussy cats," mocked Jimmy. "Set down, I tell you." Frances and Lina made room for him between them and soon gave him their undivided attention, to the intense envy and disgust of the other little boys. "I am Lina Hamilton," said Ihe little girl on his right. "And I 'm Frances Black, and Jim my ought to be 'shamed to treat you 1 1 like he does." 3 4 a- i Knows a turriDie saeery tale," re- marked a malicious Billy, looking at Lina and Frances. "If y' all wa'n't girls I 'd tell it to you." "We are n't any more scared 'n you, William Hill," cried Frances, her interest at once aroused; "I already know 'bout 'raw meat and bloody bones' and nothing 's scarier 'n that." "And I know 'Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.

Be he alive or be he dead, I'll ground his bones Jo make me said Lina. "This-here tale," continued Billy, glueing his big eyes to those of the little stranger, "is one Tabernicle learnt fer a speech at school. It 's all 'bout a 'oman what was buriet in a graveyard with a diamant ring on her finger, an' a robber come in the night The child's tones were gut- tural, thrilling and hair-raising as he glared into the eyes of the effeminate Leon, "an. a robber come in the night an' try to cut it off, an' ha'nts was groanin' an' the win moan 'oo-oo an'" Leon could stand ifno longer. "I am going right back," he cried rising with round, frightened eyes, "I am not going to sit here and listen to you, scaring little girls to death.

You are a bad boy to scare Lina and Fran- ces and I am not going to associate with you;" and this champion of the fair sex stalked with dignity across the yard to the gate. "I 'm no more scared 'n nothing," and indignant "Frances hurled at his back. "You 're just scared yourself." Jimmy giggled happily. "What 'd I tell you all," he cried, gleefully. "Lina and Frances got to all time set little fraid cats 'tween 'em," he snorted.

1 "It 's Just like I tell you. he the sissyest boy they is; and he don't care who kiss him neither; hell let any woman kiss him what wants to. Can't no woman at all 'cepting my mama and Miss Cecilia kiss me. But Leon I3 'bout the kissingest kid they is; why, he'd just as soon 's not let Frances and Lina kiss him; he ain't got no better sense. 'Course I gotta let Miss Cecilia kiss me cause she's 'bout the plumpest Sunday school teacher they is and the Bible say 'If your Sunday school teacher kiss you on one cheek turn the other cheek and let her kiss you on that, too, and I all time bound to do what the Bible "say.

You 'd better call him back, Frances, and kfss him, you and, Lina C-3 ctnclr an CHAPTER XX. Rising in the World. The painter had just finished putting a bright green coat of paint upon the low, flat roof of Miss Minerva's long back-porch. And he left his ladder leaning against the house while he went Inside to confer with her in regard to some other work. Billy, Jtmmy, Frances and Lina had been playing "Fox and Geese." Running around the house they spied the ladder and saw no owner to deny them.

"Le 's clam' up and get on top the porch," suggested Jimmy. "Aunt Minerva '11 put mo to bed If I do," said Billy. "Mother '11 make me learn a whole page of the catechism if I climb a ladder," said Lina. "My mama '11 shut me up In the closet, but our mamas are n't bound to know 'bout it," this from Frances. "Come on, let 's climb up." VI ain't never promise not to clam' no ladder but Billy hesitated.

You-all 'bout the skeeriest folks they is," sneered Jimmy. "Mama '11 whip me going and coming if she finds out 'bout it, but I ain't skeered. dare anybody to dare me to clam' 1 dare you to climb this ladder, responded an accommodating Frances. "I ain't never tooken a dare boasted the little boy proudly, his foot on the bottom rung. "Who 's going to oiler me?" "Don't we have fun?" cried a jubl lant Frances.

Yes," answered Jimmy; "if grown folks don't all time be watching you and sticking theirself in your 11 peopie wouia let us aione, re marked Lina, "we could enjoy our selves every day." "But grown folks got to be so per tic'lar with you all time," cried Jimmy, they don never want us to play to aether. He -led the way up the ladder, fol- lowed by Frances and Billy; and Lina brought up the rear. The children ran the long length of the porch leaving their footprints on the fresh, sticky paint. "Will It wash off?" asked Frances, looking gloomily down at her feet, which seemed to be encased in green moccasins. At that moment she slipped and fell sprawling on top of the roof.

When the others helped her to her feet, she was a sight to behold, her white dress splotched with vivid green from top to bottom. "If that ain't jus' like you, Frances," Jimmy exclaimed; "you all time got to fall down and get paint on your dress so we can't 'ceive nobody. Now our mamas bound to know 'bout us clamming up "They would know it anyhow," mourned Lina; "we '11 never get this paint off of our feet. We had better get right down and see if we can't wash some of it off." While they were talking the owner of the ladder, who had not noticed them and was deaf in the bargain had quietly removed it from the back-porch and carried It around to the front of the house. The children looked at each other in consternation when they perceived their loss.

"What we goin' to do now?" asked Billy. "If this ain't just like Billy, all time got to perpose to clam' a ladder and all time got to let the ladder get loose from him." erowled Jimmy. "We done cooked a goose egg, this time. You got us up here, Billy, how you going to get us down?" "I did n't, neither." "Well, it Miss Minerva's house and she 's your aunt and we 's your company and you got to be 'sponsible." "I can clam down this-here post," said the responsible party. "I can, climb down it, too," seconded Frances.

"You can't clam, down nothing at all," said Jimmy contemptuously. "Talk 'bout you can clam down a post; you 'd fall and bust yourself wide open; you "boutthe clumsiest girl there is; 'sides, your legs re too fat." "We can holla," was Una's suggestion. 1 "And have grown folks laughing fit to pop their sides open? I 'm 'shame to go anywheres now 'cause folks all time telling me when I 'm going to dye some, more Easter eggs! Naw, (First published April 2, 1912.) NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.
