Perry Woodson's Temptation
Perry stood locking scroeif- tbe bill, tr
reaolute. Frank Ftodiard was beaids him,
urging, aa one boy can vrge another. "Oh.
come on." Frank was aaymg "You'll have
plenty of time to do your errand after
ward. The game wo' last lor.g and It's
early. Only I o'clock now. Weil have
time to go to the ball grounds and out to
the farm and get through with your er
rand all riht. Your mot her' 11 never kaow
' a thing about It."
This lat sentence fell on Ferry s ears
like a thunderbolt. What bad he been
thinking about planning to go off to the
ball game and delaying bia errand an er
rand his mother bad d:eiatch"d bim on !
But Frank's worde, "your motheril never
know a thing about It." struck bin with
tremendous f rc and caused him to recoil
from doing the thing be bad felt l. f in
clined to do to put off going over the
bill to bis grandmother's farm and going
Instead to the rase ball game with Frack
After the ball game, so Frar.k had de
clared, he might ha ( ienty of tine to t
oa h i errand to bia giandmothrr'a.
"No, Frank." said Parry, hi face a
shade paler and his eye full of the de
termination to do what was right, "no.
I shall not go to the ball game Mother

rand and I Jid i c-t aay a word to her
about giving any m here eUe before return-

"I bad no Intention of keeping it from

man who put them in a hive. He wanted
to buy them for t-, but we would not sell
them. They were busy all summer, and
went from flower to flower gathering all
the honey they oould.
I saw them sting a drone bee to death.
Some days nearly all the bees were In
front of the hive. - We thought they were
going to i arm.
We did not want to Veep them over
winter so early one morning we took some
whistling a merry tune and wishing with
all his heart that he might go to the
hearil-timbered river, a mile distant from
his grandmother's farm, for the rest of the
day. It would be an Ideal afternoon for
fishing. He forgot the ball game, back in
town, almost aa boon as he had overt a 1. en

Perry saw the old-fashioned surrey In

hitched to it- "Granny must be goliig away
from home." thought rt-rry.
When the dear old grandmother came
cut of the gate, followed by hc-r young
granddaughter who lived with her. Perry,
from the shady lane, called out: "Hello,
Granny! Hello. Fadie!" The old lady and
the little girl looked down the lane and
saw Perry coming. "Oh, Sonny, so gad
you are here." cried Jolly old "Granny."

We had neplected to provide bait. o aa
soon as we arrived this waa to be done.
Under the bridge we were able t obtain
worms and. therefore, after finding a tin
can, the whole crowd began to cllg.
Within fifteen minutes we had enough
bait lor the morning's fishing. We then
hurried up the creek and under a clump et
Uee we set our lines.
One of the boys soon after began yelling.

to come and help pull it out. So we all ran
to his assistance, and after much strug

prlre one. Indeed.

"Oh. Mamma." cried Charley, aa he heard
a whistle coming from the direction of the
front gate, "there's Tom whistling for me

kit South Thirty-seventh Street-
Many, many years ago when the revo-
luUonary war was going on Tom and his
father lived on a raft on the Hudson river.
They made their living by trading things
with the Indians and settlers at the small
towns along the river. They hd been
working very bard for a long time getting
tbe goods they expected to sell together;
and bow they were finally ready to start
oft to tbe first town down the river.
Just aa Tom started to putb the raft out
into the stream he beaid a shot. What
could it be? He and bis father turned
toward the direction of tbe shot and were
very much frightened when they taw a
band of Erltish troops a short d stance
sway.
Tom pushed tbe the raft out as quickly
up tbe lines." said "granny." "And let s
all go Into town together. Guess your
mother isn't expecting me this week, eb?"
"No. gTtnny. she thought the beat would
keep you borne, ao she sent me out to bear
the message to you, and to get your wishes
on the subject," said Perry. Tbea be tan-
ped Paul and Sault with the lines snd off
th,r lPOIted townwards. As they entered
loan they passed close to tbe base ball
grounds, fenced in. But the noise of cheers
and laughter could be beard, and grand
mother asked If a came was In progress

very much interested in th outcome.
"WeU. child, why didn't you attend the
game?" aaked grandmother. "I know how
l.o s and men. too. if you plea do enjoy
a good ban game. I've often thought that.
through mere curiosity, I'd go to see a
game soma Urn before I get too old for
such things." (Dear old "granny" Vaa C

girl).

like aaklag It, but did not. Still, wbea
Sadie aaked It. a glow of anticipated pleas-

"Well, well, auppos we do turn back to

there'll b no danger of that, for every on

Grandmother laughed again, and flushed
a bit at the words of assurance and pride
from Perry. "All right, sonny, turn back.
