But on Mr. Jarr’s incomings and outgoings he had been aware of childish scufflings and whispered demands, “Keep quiet, can’t yer?” on the landing in the apartment house, where the stairs led to the roof, Also, noting them tolling like ants up the steps with their plunder, Mr. Jarr had been more than once aware of Uttle Iszy Slavinsky from around the corner; his own boy, Wille Jarr; Master Johnny Rangle and others lurking in the dark recesses of the stalr corners with objects concealed behind them until he passed. He had seen the children playing rushing visita to the mysterious regions sacred to the janitor and the tradesmen in the basement.

As he glimpsed the children bearing wire and old bits of timber and occa- sional sheets of tin, commandeered \from the junkman’s down the street, Mr. Jarr had imagined the youth of the locality were constructing ether a flying machine or a submarine on | the roof. | He remembered one occasion when, as a lad, with misdirected mechanical ability, he had constructed a sailboat In the cellar, and successfully—except that the sailboat was too big ever to be removed out of the cellar by the usual openings, and met an ignomin- fous fate as firewood. Mr, Jarr contented himself with de- termining to pay a night scout visit to the roof at about the time the ap- paratus being constructed there by ohildish hands would be ready to op- erate. Mr, Jarr did not deem it quite safe for his son and his son's piay- mates to attempt to voyase from the root when their Zeppelin or Subma; rine U-19—whichever it was--was considered complete. So when he came home the other evening prepared to investigate Mrs, Jarr forestalled him. “What do you think the children have done on the roof?" she asked. Mr. Jarr noted that she was smil- ing as one greatly pleased, and he affected ignorance. “What have they done?” he asked. “Well, before I tell you, I want you to promise me that you will take our Willie and little Izsy Slavinsky and Johnny Rangle to the movies,” said Mra. Jarr. “Why, certainiy,” sald Mr. Jarr. “Do they deserve it? I'll take them whether they do or not.” “But they certainly do deserve it!” said Mra. Jarr, “I think it's all due to, the ‘Do-a-Kind-Deed-Every-Day’ | movement of the Golden Hour Club, | which Mrs. Blessington Blotch has formed among the children, And just to think of how I misjudged the lit-| tle dears! 1 was going to punish ot Willie when Gertrude first told ine!” “What did Gertrude tell you?" Mr, Jarr inquired, | “Why, she missed our wire clothes | line on the roof and saw Willie and Insy Slavinsky hiding behind the chimney, But when she went on the roof to-day she found the children Rad put up for her the most BRAU- TIFUL and handy wire clothes linet And she's just gone up to hang the ’s wash out on it.” ‘ell, that’s fine,” began Mr. Jarry, but just then a most hideous din was heard on the roof, In which the obild- ish voices of Master Willie Jarr, Mas- | ter Izzy Slavinsky and Master Johnny Rangle were heard above the angry ' ude, the Jarra’ ight running domestic. A moment later Gertrude came rua- ning in with the still wet garments of the wash clinging to her—that is, 'guch that stuck when thrown upon her by the youthful rioters, “Baw! Baw!" roared Master Jarr, as he entered after her, while his companions lurked In the hallway, scuffling and whimpering. “Me and Izzy Slavinsky and Johnny Rangle and Gussie Bepler bullt a wireless- telegraft line on the roof to send mes- sages to the war in Europe! And Gertrude broke it all down hanging the clothes on it! Baw! Baw!" So Mr. Jarr HAD to take them to the movies to square it.
