A big fellow with a hoarse voice and a very red face was disputing with tiie proprietor. "1 gave you a dime," be snarled. "It wasn't a nickel, it was a dime." Tiie proprietor of the booth, a mild little man with weak blue eyes, shook his head. "1 haven't taken in a dime to-day," he said. "Here's my bank." And be pushed an open ciy'r box toward the big fellow. "I don't care anything about your bank." tbe bis fellow cried. "I tell you I give you a di ce. I've bad my three shots now gimme my change."

"Who said that?" he roared. j "I did," the voii e replied. The big man straightened up on tip- ; toe "V.'l ere are you?" he cried. "Here." replied the voice. It j sounded from the left of the crowd, i which had now grown to considerable proportions, i "I.entitle git at him!" roared tiie big , man. And lie pushed into the graup. "Look out where you're going," . cautioned a stout mail as he thrust ! an elbow inlo tbe fellow's side. "Kasy there." snapped a little man. • You're on my feet."

As for the latter, he seemed i to have melted int< tbe air. Tbe crowd broke up with the dei i parture of the bully and in a ino | mont or two th> e was no one left in j front of the booth save a boy. lie was a boy perhaps nineteen, a ! Clear eyed lad with a sunburnt skhi j and dark curly hair. He was neatly | dressed, but his clothes were old fash- ! loned in cut, and he wore a broad • ( brimmed straw hat that had seen ; other summers. The boy looked up at tbe little pro- { j prietor. ! "Had man,"he raid. The proprietor nodded. "Yep He was out for troub'e all j i right. That v.as a big bluPi", of course, j but what could I do? I couldn't af- j ford to have any troabie with him. ! Business is bad enough as it is." He sighed ns be spoke. The boy looked at him curiously. "Had efisou, eh?" ) I "Worst 1 ever knew. An' I've had 1 some pretty tough ones." His eye ■ i wondered ov. ' the grounds. "There's j , that loafer, now. He's having a f'.iss j i over there at tii*» chutes. He'd bet- j 1 trr not fool with tho ,e fellows. They'll ; i drop him in the pond." He eoTily | chuckled. "I wonder who 'twas t ailed , him a liar?" "1 did." said the boy. "You! Why, you wasn't even iook- j in' at him." The boy laughed. "Guess I hadn't the courage to look j nt him when I said it." "But the voice came from over ; there," persisted the proprietor. "It was my voice." The boy surt denly stooped as if to pick something > from the ground. As he did so a dog i snarled and barked at the proprietor's j ' lieels. "Get out!" the little man shouted as he quickly looked around- and lo! i there was no <loa there. He turned to Hit; boy. ' Did you do that?" i "Yes." The little proprietor pushed the balls toward him. "As many shots as you like," he , said. j "Thank you." said the boy. "Not i now. Business is bad, eh? Want a ' partner?" | "There aint' a livin' in it for one. let. alone Iuo." "But suppose a partner could build it up and put il on a paying basis?" j "That's the kind o' partner I want." . The boy nodded. "I'm looking 'round," he said. "You've noticed I'm from tbe country. I had a chance togo on a farm after I finished school, but 1 thought I'd j rather go up to the city and see if I couldn't find so.ne sort of opening. I don't want anything permanent just yet—l've got. too much to learn. At the same time. I've got (o gel a living. I Maybe you'd better take nie on a sal ary for a spell. I dont." want to tie up for long. Wait. You needn't give IUG ! a cent if I don', put your business here on a fair paying basis. When I do 1 want a reasonable share of the profits. What do you say?" The little man stared at him. j "You beat anything I ever saw." he ; said. "Who did you learn that ♦en triloquia! bia-ln. -a?" The boy laughed. "Out in the woods." he answered. "I was cutting « ;• i.l last fall, and, being alone, 1 foil to trying tricks with my voic*. Pretty soon I found I • could ralk to myself lu quite a so- 1 clable fashion." "I'll give you a job right away at ; the terms you mention." said the lit tie proprietor. "What do you propose to do to bejp the business?" "I propose to look around the park first of all," the boy replied. I'll co.ue back again a little later." "You'll be sure to come?" "I'll come." said the boy as he turned and walked away. He uut his hand in his trousers pocket and jingled a few coins. His j finances were getting low. At the same time he realized that he was hungry. He stepped into the restaurant near j the big gateis and Fought a seat at one j of the small tables. A waiter took ; his simple order and while he was ! gone the boy studied bis surround ings. Ho w:is Interrupted by there- ! turn of his order and by the appear- i ance of a tall man who took a seat j opposite to him. The boy looked at ' the man. lie was slender and a little i gray—a man close to forty. He had sharp eyes and a firm month ami Jae shrtip e.rcs w*-.o uow bent on some j slips of paper that be scanned pencil ; in hand. He looked up suddenly and caught the boy's curious glance. "Bad th.ing to bring your business to the table with you," he said with ' a quick smile. "You must never let j the thought of money intrude tij on j your diet." "Wouldn't the present price of beef ! excuse it?" drawled the boy. "Good," said tbe tall man. "First time here?" "Yes. I'm enjoying my first sum mer vacation." "How do you like It?" "It's line. The tall man smiled. "See any chance of improving the place?" "I see a chance of adding to the attractions." "Eh! Perhaps you'll kindly en- j lighten me." "I'd run a monorail line across the ; eiuir ilaza." The tall man stared at the boy. 'A monorail line! May 1 ask what you know about monorails?" "I knew something." replied the boy with a quick laugh. "We have mi old inventor down at our village, t>ml what be doesn't know about me chanics old principles and new— isn't worth knowing. But be hasn't the ambition to carry out. any of his own schemes. He's just contented to be the village gunsmith. We are great friends and I've spent a good j many Saturdays in his old shop. ; That's where 1 found out about mon i orails." The keen gray eyes were studying ! the boy. "Would your car be on the princi- ! pie of the Englishman's invention - I the gyroscope idea?" "No," replied the boy. "I would j use a narrow car seating four people. | I would balance it on llie rail by four twenty-foot rods, depending on i either side and weighted at the ke- er ! ends. I would have It run by gravity. When it reached the opposite side I would have it hoisted by an elevr-or I and sent back on another rail. It | would be safe, speedy and a great i curiosity." "When did this scheme occur to you my boy?" the tall man asked. "Five minutes ago. 1 picked out the locations for the two platforms." ' Oh, you have. What are you going to do this afternoon?" The boy laughed. , "I've got an engagement, to put a man's business on a sound financial ' basis." "Eh. Who is tbe man?" "He's the man who runs the booth 1 with the dolls that you throw at." "Oh. yes. Old Tommy Carter. ! Tommy's in hard luck. And you're 1 goin? to help him out?" "lie has my promise." "Good. But you mustn't make any j further engagements without consult- j ing me? Wait. I'm John Temple, en gineer and showman. People usually i call nie Colonel John Temple. I'm j one of tbe owners of this and a hall' | do?en other parks. That's why I don't want you to be running about I wild with that monorail idea." "My name is James Harrison," said j the boy. "Where I'm known they call j me Jim." The tall man laughed and put out his hand. "Glad to know you, Jim," he srid. "Here's to -mir better acquaintance." He looked at his watch. "When <an ; I see you again, my boy?" "Will vott be in tbe park this even- ! ing?" "Yes." "You'll find me at Tommy Carter's booth.' "Goodby, boy." "Goodby, colonel." The attendance was large in the park that evening. And those who; strolled near the Carter booth no ticed that the little proprietor had labelled his dolls. There were only five of them now, j and above the quintet stretched a placard which announced in large let ters that they were the Original Gooseberry Family. Thcio were "Pa Gooseberry" and "Ma Gooseberry" and"l ittle Willie," and "Sister Sue" and \unt Jane." To my Carter's weak eyes ala sparkled as he chanted the merits . 112 ■ his show. "Right this way," he called. "An" take a whack at the only original Gooseberry family. Three throws for a nickel an' three elegant cigars for a hit. You cant' miss 'em. Three throws for a nickel. There's Sister ' Sue and Aunt lane. too. You can't miss 'em." And he turned around and winked at Jim Harrison, who was standing: back up the balls. Ills voice was . crowd speedily satin nickel was tendered. The marksman drew back "Stpp, sir." cried Aunt high cracked voice, "would J a lady?" "Wh-what's that?" stammei marksman. "Take one of your own size." . Aunt Jane; "hit the boy." i 'I he crowd roared and the ma man threw wild. lie threw wild \ the second ball and the third, then he bought six more. "Why, that's Pel eg Saunders." sa. Pa Gooseberry, "llowdedo. Peleg." Again the crowd roared and again and again the chuckling marksman threw wild. It was a big crowd now and all the new comers wanted to see and hear the talking dolls. The nickels streamed in.and there were dimes, too, and even quarters. "Hit me if you can." screamed Sis ter Sue. "I do.i't care, I don't care!" "She's nailed on." said little Willie. "iNaub'.itj, mjiighty!" cried Aunt Jane. "Bow, wow, wow!' barked Little ; Willie, and the bark was so ft«v ce and : so natural that the man with the ball nervously jumped and almost hit Tommy Carter in ilie ear. And the crowd roared with laughter ■ and pressed in closer. " 'Tis tlx' last rose of summer," sang | Ma Gooseberry in a cracked soprano. | "Hit 1 r! hit lxer!" shouted the un dutiful WiPie. Rut every thrower who came for ward was so convulsed with laughter that anything like [rood marksman ship was impossible. Old Tommy Car tor's stock of cheap cigars was scarce ly broken into.
