After the second read- ing James was able to repeat it with gestures the afternoon the minister’s wife came to call. | A week later James, in a biack | ¥elvet Fauntleroy suit with a wide lace collar, which went not at all with his uncompromising straight red hair and freckles, stood on the top stair | leading to the pulpit of New Concord’s | Congregational Church and thundered forth in a not unaffecting childish way the speech of the unknown Indian warrior. James was used to grown people, uised to attention, so he started his oration gayly enough.

At the end there was a little hush and then James, glancing at his grandmother, saw that she was cry-| ing and was suddenly overcome by confusion and embarrassment. He ran to his grandmother and hid his face in her arms. People crowded around them con- gratulating him; the minister, among others, said it was a remarkable per- formance, but James would not look up or speak. Afterward James was in great demand as an entertainer, but the Governor soon put his foot down. He said James was getting spoiled. James relapsed into- obscurity; or into such obsecurity as was possible for Dr. Jim’s son and the Governor's grandson. James’' oratorical powers were for- gotten soon enough. But Judge Hol- comb never forgot. He crowed over Miss Julia until that long-suffering lady told him tartly that he reminded her of a rooster who had laid an egg. The judge took this good-naturedly. He was always good-natured when he felt he had proved his point. And then he knew that in her heart of hearts Miss Julia was almost as pleased at little James' small success as he was. James was a little over 16 when his grandfather, trying out a successor to Dan, his riding horse, who had reached the age of honorable retire- ment, was thrown and suffered in- juries from which he never recovered.

Old James knew it, too, but what his thoughts were no one guessed— except possibly Sarah, his wife. The » - ONE-DAY ,SA;E | the Mother Goose story pack- age that children love.
