There. 1 knew you would get Into trouble," said the grocery man to the bad boy as a policeman came along leading him by the ear, the boy having Rn empty champagne bottle in one liand and a black eye. "What has tie neen doing, Mr. Policenifinf" asked the grocery man as the policeman lialted with the boy in front of the store. "Well. 1 was Koine by a house up ltere when this kid onened the door with a (mart bottle of champagne, and ho cut the wire ana urea tne com at anotner Iwy, and the champagne went all over the sidewalk, and some of it wont on me, and 1 knew there was something wrong, cause champagne is too expen sive to waste that way, and ho said lie was running .the shebang and if I would bring him here yon wouiii say no was an right.

"Well, that beat the devil," said the grocery man as lie stood in front of Ills grocery and saw the bad lwy ooining along on the way home from Sunday school with a clean shirt on and n Testa ment and some dime novels under his arm.

Probably thi Democratic Congress will explain the anomaly. A policeman came along leading him by tlic car. The grocery man said lie had better let tho boy go, as his parents would not like to have their little pet locked up. So the policeman let go his ear, and ho threw the empty bottle at a coal wagon, and after the policeman had brushed the champagne off his coat and smelled of his fingers' and started off the grocery man turned to the boy, who was peoling a cucumber, and said: "Now, whnt kind of a circus have yoii been having, and what do you moan by dostroying wine that way, und whero are your folks?" "Well, I'll tell you. Ma she has got tho hay fever and has gone to Lake Su perior to see if sho can't stop sneezing, nnd Saturday Pa said he and me would go out to Oconomowoo and stay over Sunday and try and recuperato our hoalth. Pa eaid it would be a good joke for me not to call him Pa, but to act a though I was his younger brother, nnd wo would have a real nice timo. "I knowed what he wanted. He is an old masher, that's what's tho matter with him, and lie was going to play himself for a bachelor. Oh, thunder, I got onto his racket in a minute, IIo was in troduced to some of the girlB, and Satur day evening he danced till the cowscomo home. At Dome lie is nwiui iram oi rheumatiz, and lie never sweats or sitsin a draft, but the water just poured oil'n him, and he stood in tho door nnd let n girl fan him till I was afraid ho would freezo, and just as ho was telling a girl from Tennessee, who was joking him nbout being a nold bach, that he was not sure as he could always hold out n woman hater if he was to be thrown into contact with the charming ladies of the 6unny eouth I pulled his coat and said; 'Pa, how do you s'poso Ma's hay fever is tonight? I'll bet she is just sneezing the top of her head off.' Wall, sir, yon just oughten seen that girl and Pa. Pa looked at me as '.if I was a total stranger and told the porter if that freckled faced bootblack belonged around the house he had better be fired out of the ballroom, and the girl said thedisgustin thing, and just before they fired me I told Pa he had better look out or he would sweat through his liver iad. "I went to bed, and Pa staid up till the lights went out. He was mad when he went to bed, but he didn't lick me 'cause tho people in the net room would hear him, hnt the next morning he talked to me. Ho said I might go back home Sun day night, and he would stay n day or two. He sat around on the veranda nil the afternoon talking with the girls, and when ho would see me coming along he would look cross. He took a girl out boat riding, and when I asked him if 1 couldn't go along he said he was afraid I would get drowned, and be said if I went home there was nothing there too good for me, and so my chum and me got to firing bottles of chai. iiiguo, and he hit ma in the eye with a cork, and I drove him out doors and was just going to shell Us earthworks when the police man collared me. Say, what's good for a black eye?" The grocery man told him his Pa would cure it when he got home.

Qusaid if 1 didn't lie would maul mo so my skin wouldu't hold water. "You see, Ma said Pa had got to be on trial for six months before lie could got in the church, nnd if ho conld get along without swearing and doing anything bad ho was all right, and we must try him and see if we could causo him to swear. Sho said sho thought a person when they was on n prowhation ought to bo a martyr nnd try nnd overcome all temptations to do evil, and if Pa could go through six months of our homo life ind not cuss the hinges off the door ho was Euro of a glorious immortality be yond tho grave. Sho said it wouldn't bo wrong for mo to continue to play inno- ent lokes on Pa, and if he took it nil right he was a Chistinn, but if he got a hot box und ilew around mad he was better out of church than in it. There he :omes now," said tho boy as he got bo hind a sign, "and he Is pretty hot for a Christian. He is looking for me. Vou Irnd ought to have seen him in church this morning. You see, I commenced theoxorclses at home nfter breakfust by putting a piece Df ice in each of Pa's boots, and when he pnllodon tho boots ho yelled that his feet were all on fire, nnd wo told him that it was nothing but symptoms of gout, bo ho left the ice in ins boots to melt, and he said nil the morning that he felt as though he had sweat his boots full. But that was not tho worst. You know, Pa1 he wears n liver pad. WeU, on Saturday my chum and me was out on the lake hhoro, and we found a nest of ants, these little red ants, and I got a pop bottle half full of the ants and took them home. I didn't know what I would do with the ants, but ants are always handy to have in the house. This morning when Pa was dressing for church I saw his liver pad on n chair and noticed a hole in it, and I thought what a good place it would be for the ante. "I don't know what possessed me, but 1 riU Uie liver pad into my room nna opened the bottle and put the hole over the mouth of the bottle, and 1 guess the ants thought there was something to eat in the liver pad, 'cause they all went into it, and they crawled around in the bran and condition powders inside of It, and I took it back to Pa, and he put it on under his shirt and dresssd himself, and we went to church. Pa squirmed a little when the minister was praying, nnd I guess some of the ants bad come out to view the landscape o er. When we got up lo sing the hymn, Pa kept kicking, as though he was nervous, and lie felt down his neck and looked sort of wild, the way he did when he had th jimjams. When wesat down, Pa.oonldn't keep Btill. and I like to died when I saw some of the ants come out or his shirt bosom and go racing around his white vest pa tried to look pious and re signed, bat he couldn't keep his legs still, and he sweat niore'n a pailful. "When the minister preached about the worm that never dfeth,' Pa reached into his vest and scratched Ids ribs, and he looked as though he would give $10 if the minister would get through. Ma she looked at Pa as though she would bite his head off. but Pa he just squirmed antf acted as though his soul was on fire. Say, does ants bite or just crawl around! Well, when the minister said amen and prayed the second round and then said a brother who was a missionary to the heathen would like to make a few re marks about the work of the missionaries in Bengal and take up a collection, Pa told Ma they wonld have to excuse him, and be lit out for home, slapping himself on the legs and on tho arms and on the back, ami ht acted crazy. Ma and me went hnuie uf ter tho heathen got through and (, und Pa in his bedroom with part of bis i lotliea .,lT. itiiI the bver pad was on th" floor, iiii.l P.i wii stumping on it with bin U'oN in, 'I t nig off ui. " 'What is the mjtt.irV says Ma. 'Dont yonr religion iifrrw with you?" j " Itcliyioii be d ihhed.' says Pa as he kicked the liver pad 'I would give $10 to know bow a pint of red ants got into my liver pad. Religion is one thing, and ( a million ants walling all 07er a man playing tag is another. 1 didn't know the liver pad was loaded. How in Go henna did they get in there? and Pa scowled at Ma as though ho would kill her. " 'Don't swear, dear,' says Ma as she threw down her hymhbook and took off her bonnet. 'You should be patient. Re member, Job wan patient, .and ho was af flicted with sore boils.' " 'I don't care,' says Pa as ho chased the nnts out of his drawers; 'Job never bad ants in his liver pad. If he hud, he would have swore the shingles off a barn. Here, you,' says Pa, speaking to ine, 'you head off them ants running under tho bnreau. If the truth was known, I bo lieve you would be responsible for this outrage.' And Pa looked nt mo kind of lmrd. 'Oh, Pa, says I, with tears in my eyes, "do you think your little Sunday school boy would catch ante In a pop bottlo on the liiko shore nnd bring them home and put them in the holo of your liver pad just before you put It on to go to church? You are too bad.' And I shed some tears. 1 can shed tears now uny time I want to, but it didn't do any good this time. Pa knew It was mo, and while ho was looking for tho shawl strap 1 went to Sunday school, aud now I guess he Is nfter mo, and I wilt go nnd take a walk down to Bay View." The boy moved off as ills Pa turned a corner, and tho grocery man said: "Well, that boy beats all I ever saw. If ho waa mine, I would give him away." (to bb continued.) INTERNATIONAL CYCLISTS.
