and many j little things arranged for tin coming ifoo- day if grandfather look me with him that waa another thing 1 enjoyed 1 mightily hut grandmother sometimes vetoed that and i stayed at home i one saturday morning 1 jumped out of bed hopeful and happy to find to my great disappointment that grandfather was already gone away in the waggon i had sneezed tro or three times the night before and had in consequence been credited with a cold and it had been decided that i should slay at home i was so i di- appointed that i could not keep from cry inr i sat dowu sadly to my bread and milk and watered it with leaxa grandmother had a quilt on hand and went with the seamstress betsy grimes to the great spare bedroom where it was spread and i waa left alone after sulk ing for some time it occurred to me lhat as i must slay at home there could be no belter time for hitine all the cherries i wanted the black hearts in the meadosr lol were ripe and as yet prohibition as b eating too manj had not been uttered for gtandmolbcr dtd uol kuow of the ripening alas for the fruition of human hopes i j ait as was starting for tbe meadow grandmother wanted somecotton of a paf- ticular color and i wm sent to the tillage store ta get it then tliccow got fnlo the regetahle garden aud i had to drive her oat then dinuer was ready then the help begged me to get her some kindhngi tad hunt for eggs nnd it was actually three ocloci in the sfltrnoou before i icampered away to the meadow and began lo climb toward the cherries il vras ah old tree with leaves growing jo thickly that thev hid me as though i had been a robin j perched there qulle content and ate my fill and was enfoylng myself might ily when i heard the sound of voices be low and peeping down saw two of those country bugbears trumps ploddingacross the meadow with ihtir own peculiar walk which always suggests an idea that thery have cushions on their feel i kept quite still hopine ihey would paaa without see- inr mo but instead of this they paused and sat down under the tree where they began lo eat ihe fallen cherries being a ft seerned loo laay lo shake the tree j pretty soon they began to talk every word they said came closely to my eat the eldest tramp a heavy lowbrowed man spoke ant and whnt he said wji this come now uobody cant hear you herf whats your plan v j the other a ihin cruelloolung fellof answered wiih an outh j why to get ihe money to be sun and eo iret it easy ive been down to tie house and told the flal i was fact ory hand out of work nnd would her master take me on she sjid i could ask but

cherries and growling to each other how and then at last tbj got up and stamped away as soon as they were out of sight i tumbled out of the tree more dead than alive i looked to the right and to the left scarcely knowing what to do i was not nine years old but i felt that i had not time logo and frighten my grandmother with tbe story thai belter aid mast besotgbt- the factoty itaclf was far away before i could get there nniny own feet the tramps would perhaps have killed my grandfather father itoaen our nekt neighbor was old and deaf xo one was at the pennys but lira penny and tjje children oh what should i do 1 suddenly i remembered lawyer lobb in the village and to his efflce i flew at once how long the way seemed how horrible it was to know that lime was flying but i reached it at but lawyer lobb was at his desk convening with judge barker when i flew in and liey listened to the tale i told with open months and uplifted hands aod wbeu 1 had floiah- d they started to their reel youre a bright little fellow billy said lawyer lobb and i reckon youve saved your gt andf ethers life and a lot of money into the bargain hed never have givea up without a fight its all right now billy go home to grandma the tramps will meet more than they calculated on meeting but i clasped my hands together i cant go home 1 said 1 want to go and help save grandfather 1 couldnt go borne it would kill me allight billy said the old squire yon shall go along o ras never shall i forget that ride through the wood path single file 1 behind the gquire oa his old krav hotac never shall i forget how we stood thitre watching the old rolling mill and the tramps who came now and then to the blackened doorway aud peeped over the pieces of broken ma chinery and piles of rusted abards to watch for their victim or how at last we heard the wagon wheels in the diatanca rumbling along slowly how there was a pause aod we knew that our scouts had warned mv grandfather how be caiee in sight at last how with a pretence of unconcern he passed the mill and how fiom the dark building the two hideous forms crept softly after him with their piatola in their hands oh does he know does he know i whispered to the equirej in an agony or terror why dont thery go to him look billy said the squire and dont get scared there were two men behind the tramps now treading softly aiihy did a moment more and shots were fired and there was a struggle then i saw the tramps lying hand cuff ed upon the grass by the roadside and grandfather standing np in the waggon with hh hat off and hhr white hair blown about by ihe breeze j all right run to juim biuy aaid the squire and the next moment i was clasped to his heart j we went to the factor inn grand caval- cade with the tramps bound hand and foot in the wagon there they left the money and went on to the jail 1 was a hero for that day and for many days afterward at home and my grand mother read me vome gopd religious lessons on the text if you ha- 1
