I knew I'd wake up sooner, and. sure 'nough, I did, and heard the clock atrike four. It was a long timo till ha1f~past four. and four minutes from that the sun would rise. I knew, for I'd looked in the almanac. The reason why my story happened on the fifth was 'cause Fourth of July came on Sunday that year, so that fire- crackers and other celebrations had to wait over. Well, mother said I could get up at fire a. m. on Monday. and no: a. min- ute before. and then I did think mqther was very trying. indeed. Mother says boys are trying.

If Louie had been home, I could have called her quietly. She was away on a visit. though. and I hated to disturb mother and father. “Let her take a nap in that empty car." says Billy. It. was pretty warm.“but I didn't want. to run any risks. so Billy rolled up his coat for a pillow and I put. mine over her. and she was fast asleep in a minute. We had a fine time after that, Billy being a boy with ideas. What we didn't do with firecrackers isn't worth men- Billy Crocker had promised to meet me. and I was going to provide him with firecrackers, 'cnule he spent his money for lemon balls and felt deli- cate ’bout- asking for any more to cele~ brate with. “He 110!

To proceed: I told Tod to run in and take a nap. and to do it softly. 50's not to wake ‘em up; for it couldn't be six yet, as the early train hadn't stark-d. But no Billy showed up. So I let Tod fire of! n goqd many crackers, and she only burned her dress in one place. It was a new one, and I‘d forgmten the apron mother said she must surely wear, but I look some consolation in knowing that it Tod had had on her apron it would have becn burned. and now i: wasn‘t. I like to please Tod. She's my fa- vorite sister. too. She's nearer my age, and the other: are so grown-upâ€"p‘nic- ularly Jerry. Then. besides, I'm Tod‘s favorire brother; at least. I should be if she had another, which she hmu't. at the station. who were getting the early train ready. Billy Crocker- came along then, run- ning like mad. “Hello!" says he. “Guess I‘m hue." P‘r‘aps you don't know that Tod‘s (short for Toddlekins) our youngest. Snmcbody thought I meant a do;' one day when I spoke of her' but 1 think Tod‘s a hue name being short and sort of brisk. Tod slipped down one step. dropped her torpedoes and began to cry. But I spoke up as much like Jerry as I could: “Tod, not a. word, or you go back to bed." That scared her so she jumped and dropped another package; so I had to 'pick. her up and carry her ou‘ of the from, door quick. torpedoes and all.
