"Say, do jim thuik a little pmctiral joke does any hurt?" nslteil the Und boy of tho grocery man us he cuiiio in with Ida Sunday suit 011 ami 11 bouquet in his btit tonholo and prioil oil' 11 couple of ilgs from a new box that had bemi just opened. "No, sir," said the grocery man as ho licked ilff thi hirtip that dripped from r ijnart measure from which ho hud been filling a jug. "I hold that a man who gets mad at u practical joke that it, one that does not injure him in a fool, and he ought I o be shunned liy all decent peo ple. That's a nice bouquet you have iu your coat. W hat is it pansies? Let me smell of it'r" And the grocery man bent over in front of the boy to take a whiff at the bouquet. As he did so a stream of water shot out of I ho innocent looking bouquet and struck him full iu the face and run down over bis shirt, and the grocery man yelled murder and foil over a barrel of ax heivts and scythe snaths and then griied around for a towel to wijH) his face. "You condemn sktmkl" said the gro cery man to tho boy as ho took up an nx helve and started for him. "Wluit kind of 11 golblasted squirt gun havo you got there? I will maul you, by thunder," and ho rolled up his shirt sleeves. "There, keep your temper. I took a test voto of you 011 the subject of practical jokes before tho machine began to play upon the conllngration that was raging on your whisky nose, and you said that a man who would get mad nt a joko was a fool, and now I know it. Hero, let me show it to you. There is a rubber noso runs from the bouquet inside my coat to my pants pocket, and there is a bulb of lubber that holds about half a pint, and when a feller smells of tho posy I squeeze the bulb, nnd you see tho result. It's fun where you don't squirt it on a person that gots mad." The grocery man said he wonld give tho hoy half 11 pound of ligs if he would lend the bouquet to him for half an hour to play it 011 a customer, and the boy fixed it on the grocery man and turned tho nozzlo so it would squirt right back into the grocery man's face. Ho tried it on the first customer that camo in and got it ri'jht in his own face, and then tho bulb in his pants pockot got to leuking, and the rest of the water ran down the grocery man's trousers leg, and he gave it ii) in disgust and handed it back to the boy. "How was it your Pa had to be carried homo from tho sociablo in a hack the other night?" asked the grocery man as he stood closo to the stovo so his pants leg would dry. "Ho has notgot todrink ing again, has he?" '.'Oh, no," said the boy as he filled tho bulb with vinegar to practico on his chum. "It wns this bouquet that got Pa iuto tho trouble. You see, I got Pa to mell of it, and I just filled him chuck full of water. He got mad and called me all kinds of names and said I was no good on earth and I would fetch up in state's prison, and then ho wanted to bor row it to wear to tho sociable. He said he would have moro fun than you could shake a stick at, and I asked him if he didn't think he would fetch up in state's prison, and ho said it was different with a man. He said when a man played a joke there was a certain dignity about it that was lacking in a boy. So I lent it to him, and wo all went to tho sociable in the basement of the church. I never see Pa more kitteny than lie was that night. Ho filled the bulb with ice water, and the first one hegot to smell of his button hole bouquet was nn old maid who thinks Pa, is a heathen, but sho likes tp be made "J'011 roiidriHii skunk!" somethinif of by anybody that wears pants, and when Pa sidled up to her and began talking about what a great work the Christian wimuien of the land were doing in educating the heathen she felt real good, and then shenoticed Pa's posy ill Ids buttonhole, nud sho touched it, and thou she reached over her lieak to smell of it. "I'll he squeezed the bulb, and about half a teacnpfnl of water struck her right iu 1 ho nose, and some went into her strangle place, and, oh, my, didn't she yell. The sisters gathered around her, and they said her face was all cov ered with is rspiratioii and the paint was oontiug off. and they took her iu the kituben, and she told them Pa had shipped her with a diah of lev cream, and the wlinuieu told the u.iiu.stei-and the dea cons, uud they v. out to Pa for mi expla nation, ami i'.i told tlit .,i it wtw not so, uud the 1 -innm r ;;ot interested and got near Pa, a., I Pa let the water go at him and hit him 0.1 tho eye, uud theu u dea con go: a do and Pa laughed, and then tbe miui-iU-i , who used to go to college and bealiiizt-r and boxer, he got mad mid I squared oif and hit Pa three times right ' 1... 1.1 ...1 ... ff .1 !-!., 1 uy nil? wyu, aim uim 01 111c ucmooilBKlCKeil Pu, and Pa got mud and suid he could dean out tho whole shebang and began to pull off his coat, wheu they bundled him out doors, and JIa got .mad to see Pu abused, and bho left tho sociable, and 1 had to stay and eat ico cream and j GEORGE W.

"Well, what ha all this got to do with your puttin.T up signs in front of my store, 'Rotten Eggs' and 'Frowy Butter a Specialty? " said the grocery man as he took the boy by the ear and pulled him around. "You havo got an idea you are smart, and I want you to keep away from here. Tho next time I catch yon in here I shall call the police and have you pulled. Now git!" The boy pulled his ear back on the sido of his head wheie it lielonged, took out a cigarette and lit it, and after puffing smoke in the face of the grocery cat that was sleeping on the cover to tho sugar barrel he said: "If I was a provision pirate that never sold anything but what wns spoiled so it couldn't ho sold in a first class store, who cheated iu weights and measures, who bought only wormy figs and de cayed codfish, who got his butter from a fat rendering establishment, his cider from a vinegar factory and his sugar from a glucoso factory, I would not in sult the son of 0110 of tho finest families. Why, sir, 1 could go out on tho corner and when 1 saw customers coming here 1 could tell a stop' that would turn their stomachs and send them to tho grocery on the next corner. "Suppose I should tell them that the cat sleeps in tho dried npplo barrel, that tho mice made nests in the prune box and rats run riot through the raisins, and that yon never wash your hands except on Decoration day and Christmas, that you wipe your noso on your shirt sleeves and that you have tho itch, do you think your biiMUPss would bo improved? Sup pose I should tell the customers that you buy sourkraut of a wooden Bhoed Po lacker, who makes it of pieces of cabbago that ho gots by gathering swill, and sell that stuff to respectable people, could you pay your rent? If I should tell them that you put lozengors in the collection plate at church and charge tho minister 10 cents a pound for oleomargarine, you would have to close up. Old man, I am onto you, and now you apologizo for pulling my ear." Tho grocery man turned palo during the recital and finally said tho bad boy Wns ono of tho best littlo fellows in this town, nnd tho boy went out nnd hung up a sign in front: : ami, wanted : : to cook. : CHAPTER XXI. HIS PA STADUCU. "I hoar you had burglars over to your house last night," said tho grocery man to tho bad boy as he camo iu and sat on tho counter right over a little gimlet hole, where the grocery man had fixed a darning needlo so that by pullinga string tho needle would My up through the hole and run into the boy about an inch. Tho j grocery man had been laying for tho boy about two days, and now that ho had got him right over the ole the first time it mado him laugh to think hotv ho would make him jump and yell, and as he edged olf and got hold of the string the boy looked unconscious of impending danger. Tho grocory man pulled and the boy sat still. Ho pulled again and again, and finally the boy said: "Yes, it is reported that we had bur glars over there. Oh, you needn't pull that string any more. I hoard you was betting a trap for me, and I put a piece of board inside my pants and thought I would let you exercise yourself. Go ahead if it amuses you. It don't hurt me." Tho grocery man looked sad, and then smiled a sickly sort of u smile at tho failure of his plan to puncture the boy, and then ho said: "Well, how was it? The policeman didn't seem to know much about the particulars. Ho said there was so much deviltry going on at your house that nolKxly could tell when anything was serious, and ho was in clined to think it was a put up job." "Now let's have an understanding," said the boy. "Whatever I say, you are not to give me away. It's a go. is it? I have always been afraid. of you, because you buve a sort of decayed egg look about you. You are like a lnjck of pota toes with the big ones 011 top, a sort of u strawberry box with the bottom raised up, so I have thought you would go buck on a fellow. But if yon won't give this away, here goes. You see, I hoard Ma tell Pa to bring up another bottle of Jini ment hist night. Wheu Ma has a pain anywhere, she just uses liniment for all that is out. and a pint bottle don't last more tlian a week. Well, I told my chum, and we laid for Pa. This liniment Mn usee is offul hot and almost blisters. Pa went to the Langtry show and did not get home till 11 o'clock, and mo and my chum decided to teach Pa a lesson. I don't think it is right for a man to go to the theaters and not take his wife or his little boy. "80 we coucluded to bnrgle Pa. We agreed to lay ou the stairs, and when he came up my i-huni was to hit him ou the head with a dried bladder, and 1 was to stab him ou his breast pocket with a stick and break the liniment bottle and make him think he was killed. "It couldn't have worked better if we had relioursed it. We had talked about burglars at supper time and got Pa nerv ous, so whou he camo up stairs ami was hit ou the he'nd" with' tno bladder tho first thing hi- said was 'Burglars, by mighty,' and he started to go hnck, nnd I hit him 011 the breast pocket, whoro tho bottle was, and then wo rushed by him down stairs, and I said lu a stago whisper, 'Guess he's a dead man,' and wo went down cellar and up tho back stairs to my room and undressed. Pa hollered to Ma that ho wns murdered, anil Ma called mo, and I came down in my night shirt, and tho hired girl sho enmo down, and Pa was on tho lounge, and ho said his lifo blood was fast ebbing away. Ho held his hand on tho wound and said he could feel the warm blood trickling clear down to his boots. "I told Pa to stuff some tar into tho wound, such us ho told mo to put on my lip to make my mustache grow, nnd Pa said: 'My boy, this is no timo for tri lling. Your Pa is on his last legs. When I camo up stairs, I mot six burglars, and 1 attacked them and forced four of them down and was going to hold them and send for the police when two more that I did not know about jumped on me, nnd I was getting tho best of thorn when one of them struck me over the head with a crowbar and the other stabbed me to the heart with a butcher knife. I havo received my death wound, my boy, ami my hot southern Wood, that I offered up so freely for my country in her timo of need, is passing from my body, and soon your Pa will be only a piece of poor clay. Get some ice and put on my stomHch and all tho wiiy down, for lam burning up.' "I went to the water pitcher and got a chunk of ice and put inside Pa's shirt, and while Ma was tearing up an old skirt to stop the flow of blood I asked Pa if he felt better and if ho could describe the villains who hud murdered hiin. Pa gasped nnd moved his legs to get them cool from tho clotted blood, he said, and ho went on: 'One of them wis about 0 foot high and had a sandy mustache. 1 got him down and hit him on tho nose, and if tho polico find him his noso will bo broke. Tho second one was thick set and weighed about 200. I had him down, and my boot was on his neck, and I was knocking two moro down when 1 was hit.
