Farmer Brown's Boy left the house whistling, lie was on his way to the melon patch in the garden to get the bl)j watermelon he was sure would win first prize at the fair a few days later. All the way to the garden he whistled. He had visited that melon just before dark the night before. He had been tempted to take it up to the house then, but had decided to leave it on the vine just one night more. He entered the garden and made his way to the melon patch. Then he looked eagerly for his prize melon. He stopped whistling abruptly. With With a cry of dismay he ran for ward to where his prize melon should have been. a cry of dismay he ran forward to where his prize melon should have been. All that remained of it were scattered pieces of rind. The jucy. red meat was gone. Farmer Brown's Boy was very near to tears as he stared at the wreck of that beautiful prize melon. A great lump was In his throat. Never was there a more disappointed boy. Then bitterness and anger filled him. Fits first thought was that some boys In the neighborhood w ho -had known about the melon had come In the night and feasted on it. He clinched his fists and declared that he wouldn't rest until he had found out who had done this and had made them pay for It. He tried to think what boys were mean enough to do eueh a thing. Hut he couldn't thin* of one that he could honestly susp. . Then It popped into ills head that tramp might have come along and discovered that melon patch. V I he first time he thought of lookln ■ for footprints. He looked and looked, but the only human footprints h« found around that melon patch wei e his own. This was queer. It Was very queer. It seemed as if the th*c-f "f thieves must have left a footprint somewhere. Farmer Brown's Boy returned tc the remains of his once beautiful mel on, the melon that now never would win a prize. Anger had given away to puzzled wonder. Who could have eaten that melen? The more he thought It over the more he realized that boys or men would have been likely to carry that melon away and not break it open and eat It there. But, think as he would, he couldn t think of any one but boys or men who would want a melon to eat. Once more he made a careful, very careful search for human footprints. His own were all that he could find. Farmer Brown's Boy hal come t ■> the garden whistling. There was no merrv whistle as he slowly made Us way back to tell the news of the loss of his prize melon. Once more he yeas very close to tears, for his disc) polnlment was very great. And o how he wished he had taken that m* on to the house the night before, ; he had been tempted to do' The faces of Farmer Brown ar I Mrs. Brown was very grave ns tU listened to the story of Farmer Brown's Boy. They didn't like to think that they had any neighbor? yvho would do such a thing. “It must have been bad boys frr m the village,” declared Farmer Hr "Somehow they muse have learned about the melon and came up here for a feast last night. You kno there are boys who seern to thir. that taking melons isn't-stealing. It is. It is just as much stealing as tak ing other things that do not belong to them." "But how could boys have don that and left no footprints? ' demand ed Farmer Brown's Boy. (Ceorrlght. 3#24 > The next story: "The Mystery of the Melon patch."
