SWEET SISTER
Pater stood speechless boforo a
panorama of brilliantly vivid olrcus
potters which decorntod tha broad
fence for nearly a ulock.
Petor's artistic Instincts wero
aroused and vibrant from tho strain
upon them. He thought ho had
never beheld anything so beautiful
as the pictured lady careering
through tho air Ilka a cannon ball of
laco and tinsel. As fo tho man
strappod on the backs of two mad
horses, who worn apparently trying
to toar him limb from limb, Peter
felt thrills of admiration tricklo
down his spine nt the sight.
He sighed blissfully.
"Hello, Bubby," said a man who
had been watching him with a spec
ulative eyo, "going to tho circus to
morrow?" Peter shook his head and straight
ened tho milk pitcher ho held, so
that tho stream that had been isau
ng from It no longer meandered
down tho leg of hl abbreviated
pants.
''Would you like to?" continued
tho man Insinuatingly.
"You bet!" said Peter emphati
cally. "Well. I want a boy your size to
ride one of the elophants In tho pa
rade. If you'd like the Job I'll give
you a ticket to the afternoon per
formance and 25 cents to boot."
"What yer glvln us?" ho scoffed.
"Suro thing," declared the man.
"Do you want to do It? If not I
can enslly find a boy who does."
Peter promptly laid his pitcher
on the sidewalk, and standing on his
head knocked hla heels ecstatically
together In space.
"I guess you want to all right.
Come around to the sido door of tho
tent to-morrow morning at 9.30.
You will bo as cafe on tho elephant
as in your mammy's rocking chair;
so don't get scared and back out."
Back out! Peter's eyes sparkled
with indignation. He dashed heme
in a whirlwind of excitement, thor
oughly convinced he would never
wait for morning to come.
"Where have you been all th's
time, Peter Andrews?" demanded
luu mother sharply. "Sweet Sl3ter
nan been yelllnK for her milk at
least an hour."
But Peter wnk breathing hard,
deaf to hla mother's complaints, and
the enticing coos of Sweet Sister,
who hold out short, fat arms, to be
taken up for her usual evening
romp. Peter icornod the blandish
ments of Sweet Sister. What was a
romp with a baby to a fellow who
was going to ride an elephant?
"Peter," said his mother the next
morning as he was hurriedly gulp
ing down his breakfast, "I have got
to go up town this morning, and you
must take care of Sweet Sister.
Ton't for the life of you take your
cyea oft her; she's as full of mischief
as a monkey!"
Peter tat in stricken silence,
knowing from experience, the uso
lessness of protest, it was after
his mother had bustled off with a
parting warning that he broke into
open mutiny.
"I say," he burst forth violently,
"darn Swwt Sister!"
Peter eyed her disgustedly ss he
backed stealthily to the door. Seiz
ing an opportune moment when
St eet Sister's attention was engaged
In a cannibalistic attack on her doll,
he sneaked quietly from tho room
and flew on wings of expedition to
the circus grounds.
It was five, o'clock in the afternoon
before Peter gavi Sweet Sister an
other thought. The Intoxicating
experience of his ride on tho ele
phant's back and the enchantment
of the afternoon performance com
pletely wiped her from his mind.
Even when he turned his face
homeward Peter was so far exalted
abovo the ordinary grooves of his
life that the memory of his base de
Berttou gave him no twinges of re
gret. He would, without fall, got
a thrashing tor it; but he had learn

sophically take the bitter with tho

Poor Peter cam to earth aga'n
with a sudden crash when, reaching
what had been his homo, ho found
In its placa nothing but a smoking
heap of ashes!
He leaned, white and faint from
the shock against a telegraph polo,
and gazed around him with terrified
eyes,
Tho street was strewn with fa
miliar articles of household furnish
ings, and Peter, fearful of what ho
might sso, turned his head from the
sight.
"Whora was Sweet Sister? Oh,
what had become of Sweet Sister?"
be questioned himself In an agony of
remorso and fright. He dara not
ask. At his feet lay a singed and
blackonod rubber doll, Peter re
coiled from It In horror. Ho ro
memborod Sweet Bister's laughing
little faco as she flourished It at him
that vary morning. Beads of Icy
daznpneas sprang around bis tremb
ling mouth, and he rushed franti
cally from tho scene.
Dawn was Just breaking when
Peter, a disconsolate, wretched llttlo
atom of humanity, sat down on a
deserted doorstep and foil Into the
heavy sloop of utter exhaustion. Ho
slept en, unconscious of being lifted
in the kindly gentle embrace of a
policeman, and carried to the police
station and latd on a cot and loft to
finish his sleep in peace.
When Peter opened his eye.i his
mother was bending torer him, and
In her arms regarding htm with
round solemn eyes, was Snoot Sis

Peter etared breathlessly at hor
and then hid hie face in tho pillow.
"Don't cry, Peter dear." whis
pered his mother unsteadily. "I
am so happy at having both of you
children safe, I ain't never going to
scold again. A neighbor hr-ard
Sweet Sister's crying and took her
out of the house long before tho lira
started. It wns all my fault. I
should have taken the wood from
under the stove."
But Peter sobbed on holplcssly
with Sweet Sister's small fist strain
ed convulsively to bin contrite, thank.
ful llttlo heart.
EXAMINATION DAYS.
That Old Churn.
Was there ever a Job on tho Farm
that you tried harder to sidestep
than churning? You-always persuad
ed yourself that tho Job was cut out
for a girl, and why you should do It
you could never figure out.
Do you remember the day you cut
your too and how glad you were be
cause It was the day they started to
cut the hay and you knew that tto
Injured toe would disqualify you. So
you went to the wood shed and got
out your box of fishing tackle and
started to untangle the lines.
You saw the Dawson boys tho day
before returning from Harding's
Creek with a bunde of shiners a yard
long, and you Intended to set a big
ger string. You were Just comiug
out of the shed with a spado to dig
ngle worms when your mother call
ed you. At first you did not answer,
you sneaked around behind the Corn
crib, hut she saw you and It was up
to you to report.
"If your foot hurts you can sit
under the apple tree and churn for
me," were the cruel worda.
You kicked the cigar box of Ash
ing tackle back to the end of the
shed and threw the spade In a cor
ner, and advanced to the machine of
torture.
Your mother brought out a cush
ion and placed It on a chair, and af
ter the cream was poured in you
started to working the handle as
frst as you could. After you had
churned and churned for hours you
raised the dasher, but the cream was
yet cream. Your back acned and
blisters were coming on your hands,
when it began to work harder and
you knew that It was going to butter.
Tho sun was Just creeping over flvo
o'clock spot when your mother came
nut with n handful of doughnuts
and told you that you were the best
boy In the world and that tho but
ter was chuntd bettor than she could
do it herself. But it was too lato
to go a-fishlng. '

And get wit through and through.

I'd llko to do that stunt today.
With those kids, Jim and Dan.
I'd like to feel tnat stream once moro
Come soaking through my clothes;
