I don’t believe you heard one word that I read.” 4 Billy was puzzled; he was sure ghe had said “Born in a manger.” “I didn’t hear her say nothin’ ’bout bulrushes,” he thought, “so 't ain't ~ Moses; she didn’t say ‘log cabin,’ so 't ain’t Ab'a- ham Lincoln; she didn't say 'Thirty man, Napolyon. .tion.” “Jesus!” his aunt was saying, “born in Virginia and first president of th United States!” 7 “George Washin'ton,” T "aimed 'to say,” triumphantly screamed the little boy, who had received his cue, ISR CHAPTER XXIV.

As he reached for his ball something fell at his feet from a shelf above. He picked it up, and ran excitedly into the yard. “Look, Jimmy,” he yelled, “here 's a baseball mask I found in the closet.” Jimmy, forgetful of the fact that he was to be paid for staying at home, | immediately rolled over the fence and ran eagerly toward his friend. They examined the article in question with great care. AN “It looks perzactly like & mask,” announced 'Jimmy after a thorough in- spection, “and yet it don’t.” He tried it on. “It don’t seem to fit your face right,” he said. Sarah Jane was bearing down upon them. “Come back home dis minute, Jimmy!” she shrieked, “want to ketch ' some mo’ contagwous ‘seases, don’t' yuh? What dat y* all got now?” As she drew nearer a smile of recognition and appreciation overspread her big good-natured face.’, Then she burst into a loud, derisive laugh. “What y* all gwine to do wid Miss Minerva’s old bustle?” she inquired. *Y’ all §hio” am de contaritest ¢hillens in dis here cop- ! peration.” g “Bustle?” echoed Billy, “What 's'a bustle?” i “Dat-ar ’s a bustle—dat 's what 's'a bustle.
