utterly foundation leas beginning as kitty coleman and maggie weir were going to school one morning kitty said i was over at uncle freds last satur day and came near staying too late we had such fun that i did not notice how ucar the sun was to setting aud i was very much afraid i might meet a tramp did you meet one inquired maggie noone but johnnie gates he was coming down the hill whistling and wilh a big watermelon under his arm l was scared at first but when i saw who it was i got over it at recess maggie said to mary lord kitty told mc that she saw johnnie gates carrying a great big watennelou on saturday evening wonder where he got it and what he is going to do with it before school mary whispered to sallic bates johnnie gate was even carrying a grout big watermelon on satarday c cuing t wonder if he got it honestly f r harts melon patch was robbed about that lime majbe thats where it came from answered bailie at noon sallic told susan aud jennie i know something and hi tell jou if you wont breathe it to a soal oh no wc wont cried both girth in ouc breath what is it v why johnnie gates robbed mr harts melon patch one night last week oh dear hu tliat awful cxclaiuicd susie i always thoaght that johnnie was not so much better than the rest of us for all he made believe was- o honest nod jcimic i he couldnt have done it alone sauie said whereupon jennie hastened to a group of schoolgirls who were in the house and told them johnnie gates and- a lot of other boys robbed mr harts melon patch and destroyed all tney could not carry away jast at that moment johnnie himself came in whistling and looking like any thing bat a thief oh girls get together quick ive got something for you and its most school time the girls looked at each other and with little movements of disgust turned away why whats the matter with yon all 1 hurry up as the boll will ring cried johnnie we know what yoave got johnnie gates spoke op sauie and we dont want any of your stolen melon and t think yoa should be ashamed of yourself who says i stole a- melon i cried johnnie in an excited tone i gaess hed better not tell me bo i was over at uncle henrys saturday night and he gave mea splendid one- and saved it on purpose to give you all some bat if that is the way yon are talking about me yoa may do without well said one of the girls that is what i heard anyway who told yon id like to know then all began to talk af once and be came so excited that thev did not notic that their teacher was in the room until she spoke to johnnie asking him to explain thectuse of the confusion then she care fully examined into the matter until she found that it all cams from kitiy coleman saying that she had met johnnie with a melon the children that had taken parf in the story felt somewhat ashamed of themselves when they saw how much the story had grown in their hands the teacher said 1 hope every one of yottjwfll learn a lesson from this incident and just now before the habit becomes fixed resolve that you will tell nothing but what yon know to be true and that what yon do lei you will tell exactly as you heard it and not tell anything to injure another even if it is true i hope johnnie will forgive you apd that you will never forget the lesson you havolearned today i am glad to say that johnnie did forgive them and gave them a piece of the meloiy all aronnd and i hope
