The doctor says he needs country air. She wants to send him here for a month, and, as the two boys are in separable, Waldo will have to come with him.” Her husband laid down his pipe. "Inseparable from mischief! I used to be allowed to read a little green book Sunday afternoons. It was about some children, and wherever those children went In bred Sin went with them.” His wife laughed. "Marcia’s boys are older than they were two years ago, and they’ll know more.” "More mischief,” he assented. "How soon are they coming?” he asked with gloomy resignation. "Tomorrow, Henry. Marcia’s brother - in - law will be driving through Chilton, and he can leave them here.” "Oh, yes. Let ’em come.” Henry had risen from his chair. "WelL I’ll go out and begin to lock up things.” "Do, Henry—all the paint, and everything they can cut themselves, or each other, with. I only hope they won’t upset our new boarder. He seems kind o’ nervous and sensi tive-like.” The boys arrived just before din ner. Jerry did look large-eyed and thin, Waldo smug and fat, as usual. During the meal they were silently ravenous. Chops and vegetables, doughnuts and berry pie, vanished before them. Dr. Frye, hurrying in a moment late, presumably from a round of scaring up patients, was hungry too. "My middle name is Doughnut,” he smiled apologetically as he ac cepted one of the crisp, plump brown rings for the third time. "I mustn't let these little fellows get homesick,” thought Aunt Ra chel. "I’ll make some fudge for them after dinner.” Just as she was pouring the boil ing syrup into the pans Katy rushed in from the back yard. "Those boys have broken up the setting hen and broken down the wire clothes-line.” "Mercy! You see to this and I’ll sec to the boys.” Speckle was persuaded to resume her duties, the wire line was righted and Mrs. Lawton gave each of the boys three cakes of fudge, taking the precaution to put the rest on a high shelf in the pantry. "Now you play with your things on this nice table your uncle has fixed for you. Stay right there in the shade. There’s a new boy in the next house coming over to play with you and by and by we’ll all go for a nice ride.” She dropped on the couch in the living room for half an hour’s sleep. She seemed scarcely to have closed her eyes when Waldo appeared at the window. "Aunt Rachel.” "What is it, Waldo?” "I guess you’ll have to make some more fudge. Jerry has eaten it all up.” Aunt Kacnei sat up. cut it was on the top shelf.” ‘‘He climbed up. Jerry can get anywhere. He’s got a stummick ache and he’s crying.” She rose and ministered to Jerry with peppermint and hot ginger tea. "Now you stay here and keep out of mischief. You can cut the pic tures out of these magazines. There comes the new boy. I hope he's a good boy.” "What’s his name?” from Waldo. "Percy Lamb.” She left the three boys happy In the destruction of the magazines, thinking she might venture a little more sleep. Katy had gone to the dentist. Waldo’s head appeared at the window. "Aunt Rachel, may we have some doughnuts out under the tree?” "Yes,” she answered drowsily. “But Jerry mustn't eat more than one.” She heard the new boy asking the others: "What’s the worst thing you can have?” "Chilblains,” said Waldo. "Croup,” said Jerry. "Grandpa has lumbago,” Waldo suggested. Then Aunt Rachel dropped asleep. Percy Lamb was printing large letters on a sheet of brown paper. "What’s the doctor’s first name?” "He won’t tell,” from Waldo. "His middle name is Doughnut,” from Jerry. "That’s all right,” said Percy, printing vigorously. "I’ve got a pocketful of tacks,” said Waldo. "I brought ’em from home.” "Good. Got a hammer?” "No, but a stone’s almost as good.” Mrs. Lawton had slept a little longer than she had intended. She sat up and looked out. "I wonder why everybody who goes by looks at the elm tree and laughs. And what a procession of children, all eating doughnuts. Those boys must have emptied the jar.” She sprang up and hastened out by the veranda door. The new boy had left the others and was half way to the sidewalk. "Must you go, Percy?” she called. He turned. "I guess my mother’ll be wanting me.” "Good-bv. then.”
