rMX\ J*traiton^Pofietr ^^ SYNOPSIS Mickey O’Hallornn is a newsboy who finds and adopts a little lame girl. Lilly IPeache*. Its life et onee becomes a strng-. ^.gle to supply the com forts of life to the StUttJe girl. Mickey, while on a trip In the country finds a family who want to entertain aome poor girl from the city for two weeks and Mickey makes arrangements to fake Lilly Peaches to the farm. Bruce Is engaged In an investigation of the city offices and Is working hard checking over accounts. Leslie rents a cabin with her father and Bruce they move out of the cltv for the summer. (Contlnned From Yesterday.) Bloom time was past, but bird time ■was not, while the leaves were still freshly green and tender. Some of them reached to touch Peaches' gold hair in passing. She was hold high to see into nests and the bluebirds' hollow in the apple tree. Peaches gripped Peter and cried: "Don't let It get my feet! when the old turkey gobbler came rasping, strutting, and spitting at the party. Mickey pointed to Mary, who was unafraid, and Peaches’ elutch grew less frantic but 'she defended: “Well, 1 don’t care! I bet if she hadn’t ever seen one before. Bn’ then a big thing like that would coine right at her, tellln’ plain it was goin’ to eat her alive, it would scare the livers out of her." "Yes I guess it would," conceded Peter. "But you got the eating end of it wrong. It isn’t going to eat Us, we are going to eat It. About Thanks giving, we ll lay its head on the block and Ma will stuff it—" "I’ve quit stuffing turkeys, Peter,” said Mrs. Harding. "I lind it spoils the flavor of the meat." "Well then it will stuff us, said Peter, “all we can hold, and mince pie, plum pudding, and every good thing we can think of, What piece of tur key do you like best, Butterfly?" Mickey instantly scanned Peter, then Mr*. Peter, and tensely waited. "Oh stop! Stofci! Is that a turkey bird?" cried Peaches. "Surely it is.” said Mrs. Harding. “Why childie, haven't you ever seen a turkey, either?" "No I didn’t- ever,” said Peaches. fC'an turkey birds sing?” Just then the gobbler stuck forward his head and sang: "Gehobble, hobble, hobble!” Peaches gripped Peter's hair and started to ascend him again. Mrs. Harding waved her apron; the turkey •uddenly reduced its size three-fourths, •kipped aside, and a neat, trim bird, g high stepping and dainty, walked through the orchard. Peaches col lapsed in Peter’s arms in open-mouth ed wonder. “Gosh! How did it cave In like that? she cried. ADVERTISEMENT.

Peter’s shoulders were shaking, but he answered gravely: "Well that's a way it has of puffing itself up and making a great big pretense that it is going to flop us, and then if Just little Bobble or 11a waves an apron or a stick it gets out of the way in a hurry." "I’ve seen Multlopolls millylngalres cave in like that sometimes when I waved a morning paper with an inch high headline about them,” comment ed Mickey. Peter Harding glanced at his wife, then they laughed together. Peter stepped over a snake fence, went care fully down a hill, crossed the meadow to the shade of a tree, sat on the bank of the brook and watched Peaches as she studied first the clear babbling water, then the grnss trailing in the stream, the bushes, trees, and then the water again. “Mickey, come here!” she command ed. "Put your head right down be side mine. Now look just the way I do, an' tell me what you see.” "I see running water, grassy banks, trees, the birds, the sky and the clouds —the water shows what's above it like a mirror, Lily." Peaches pointed. Mickey watched in tenUy. "Sure!” he cried. "Little fish with red speckles on them. Shall I catch you one to see?” ” 'Tain't my eyes then?” questioned Peaches. "Your eyes, Miss?” asked Mickey bewildered. " 'Tain't my eyes seein’ things that yours doesn't?" Mickey took her hand and drew closer. "Well it isn’t any wonder you al most doubt it, honey,” he said. "I would too, if I hadn’t ever seen It be fore. But I been on the trolley, and on a few newsboys’ excursions, and in the car with Mr. Bruce, and I’ve got to walk along the str—roads some, so I know it's real. Let me show you _!•* *■ Mickey slipped down the bank, scooped his hands full of water, and lifted them, letting it drip through his fingers. Then he made a sweep and brought up one of the fish, bright ly marked as a flower, and gasping in the air. “Look quick!” he cried. See it good. It'* used to water and the air chokes it, Just like the water would you if a big fish would take you and hold your head under; I got to put it hack quick. "Mickey, lay it in my hand, Just a little bit!” Mickey obeyed while Peaches ex amined it hurriedly. "Put It back!" she cried. "I guess that's as long as I’d want to be chok ed. while a fish looked at me." Mickey exchanged the fish for a handful of wet, vividly colored pebbles, then brought a bunch of cowslips yel low as gold, and a long willow whip with leaves on, and when she had ex amined these, she looked inquiringly at Mrs. Harding. "Nicest lady, piay I put my feet In your water?" "How about the temperature of It, Mickey?” Inquired Mrs. Harding. "It's, all right,” said Mickey. "I've washed her in colder water lots of times. The Sunshine Lady said I should, to toughen her up.” “Then go ahead,” said Mrs. Hard ing. "Peter, may I?" asked Peaches. "Surely!” agreed Peter. “Whole bunch may get in if Ma says so!" ‘‘Well, I don't say so!" exclaimed Mrs. Harding. "Ths children have their good clothes on and they always get to romping and dirty themselves and then it's bigger washings and mine are enough to break my back right now." Peter looked at his wife intently. "Why Nancy, I hadn't heard you com plain before!” he said. "If they're too big, we must wear less and make them smaller, and I'll take an hour at the machine, and Junior can turn the wringer. All of you children listen to me. Your Ma Is feeling the stxe of the wash That means we must he more careful of our clothes and help her better. If Ma gets sick, or tired of us. we’ll be in a fix, I tell you!” "I didn't say I was sick, or tired of you, I'm Just tired of washing!” said Mrs. Harding. “I see!" said Peter. "But It Is a thing that has got to be done, like plowing and sowing." "Yes I know,” said Mr*. Harding, "but plowing and sowing only come once a year. Washing comes once and twice a week." "Let me,” said Mickey. "I always helped mother, and I do my own and Lily's at home. Of course 1 will here, and I can help you a lot with yours!" "Yes a boy!" scoffed Mrs. Harding, "Well I’ll show you that a boy can work as well as a glrlY if he's been taught right," said Mickey. "I wasn't bVinging tip any question of work,” said Mrs. Harding. "I just didn't want the children to dirty a round of clothing apiece. They mav wade when their things are ready for the wash anyway. Go on Peaches!” Peter moved down the hank and prepared to lower her to the water, but she reached her arms for Mickey. "He promised me," ahe said. "Back there on hia nice bed In the hot room he promised me this." "Bo I did," aald Mickey, radiating satisfaction he could not conceal. "So I did! Now. I'll let you put your feet in. like I said," "Will the fish bite me?” she ques tioned timidly. "Those little things! What If they did?” Thus encouraged she put her toes In the water, gripping Mickey and waiting breathlessly to see what hap pened. Nothing happened, while t tic warm, running water felt pleasant, so she dipped lower, and then did her best to mnke it splash. It wasn't much of a splash, hut it was a satis fying performance to the parties most interested, and from their eagerness th* watchers understood what It meant to them. Junior sidled up to his mother. •‘Ain't that tough?" he whispered. She bit her lip and silently nodded. "Look at i.er feet, will you?" he breathed. Site looked at him instead, then suddenly her eyes filled with a mist like that clouding his. "Think they'd ever walk?" he ques tioned. "I don't know," she said softly, "but It looks ns If God lias given us the chance to make them if it's pos sible. "Well say what’s my share?” he •aid. ".lust anything you see that you think will help." “If T be more, careful not to dirty so many clothes, will It help?" he asked. "It would leave me that much more lime and strength to give to her," she said. "Will all I ran save you In any way he helping her that much?" he In sisted. "Surely!" she said. "Boon ns he's out of sight. I'm going to begin on her. But don't let them hear! Junior nodded, lie snt down on I he hank watching ns if fascinated I he feet trying to splash In the waler. Mickey could feel the effort of the small body. "You lake her now," he said to peter. Then he threw off his shoes and stockings, turned up ills knee breeches and slemied into the waler. where he helped the feet to kick nnd splash. Ha rubbed them and at last picked up handfuls of fine sand aiul lightly massaged with It until he brought a pink glow. “That's the stuff," Indorsed Peter. “Hook at that! You’re pulling the blood down." "Where's the blood?" asked Peaches Peter explained the rlrcultory sys tem and why all the years of lying, with no movement, had made Jier so helpless. He told her why scarce and wrong food hail not made good blood to push down and strengthen her feet so they would walk. He told her the friction of the sand rubbing would pull it down, while the sun, water, and earth would help. Pcachea with wide eyes listened, her breath coming faster and faster, until sud denlv she leaned forward nnd cried: "Rub, Mickey! Rub 'til the blood files! Rub 'em hot as hell!" "Well, Miss Chicken!" he cried in despair. Peaches burled her shamed face in Feter s breast. He screened her with a big hand. "Now never you mind! Never you mind!” he repeated. "Kverybody turn a deaf ear! That was a slip! No body heard it! You mean Little Butterfly White, 'rub hard.' Say rub hard and that will fix it!" "Mickey,” she said in a faint voice so subdued and contrite as to be ridiculous, “Mlckey-lovest, won't you please to rub hard! Rub jus’ as hard!" Mickey suddenly bent to kiss the bony little foot he was chafing. "Yes darling, I’ll rub ’til It amost bleeds," he said. When the feet, were glowing with alternate sand rubbing and splashing In cold water, Peter looked at his wife. ”1 think that’s the ticket!” he said. "Nancy, don't you? That pullipdown the blood with rubbing, and drives it back with the cold water, and pulls It down, to he pushed back again—ain't that helping the heart get in Ps work? Now if we strengthen her with right food, and make lots of pure blood to run In these little blue cnnnls on her temples, and hands and feet, ain't we gaining groimd? Ain'^ we making headway?” "We’re Just got to be,” said Mrs. Harding. 'There's no other way to figure it. But this is enough for a start." Peaches leaned toward her and asked: "May we do this again to morrow, nicest lady?” "Well I can't say as we can come clear here every day; I'm a husy woman, and my spare time Is scarce; and even light as you are, .you'd be a load for me; I can’t say ns we can do this when Peter Is busy plowing and harvesting, and Junior is a\\iT on the cream wagon, and Mickey is in town at work: we can't do just this; but there is something we can do that will help the feet quite as much. We can bring a bucket of sand un to the house, and set a tub of water in the sun, and you can lie on a comfort under an apple tree with Mary and Bobble to watch you, and every few hours we can take a little time off for rubbing and splashing.” "My job!" shouted Junior. "I get a bucket and carry up /he sand!” "I bring ihe tub and pump the water!” cried Mary. CTihthtalihyJook that M* DR. CALDWELL'S 1 syrup; pepsin I* ~ jppi > Qivts'is Jfdtures. Ovm Ladies!
