The government's reply, according

the government gave protection to

"Now! Thcre'a nothln' to It. Some

"Hut It wns the Governor! Didn't ho

"Hay, Jimmy," gravely Interrupted
Ned, "drop it. You're been hoaxed. Get
down to business now, If you crer expect
to make n imiti of yourself."
ISrer since the Inst circus enme to town
tho Qultin boys had been "making nun
of themselves" In n way unique the ac
robatic way.
They were spry, supple, daring. Ned
was "India rubber!" lie could flip up
In the air like an expert tumbler already,
nfler n month's practice. And as to Jim
my's wlrc-walklng feats Ned declared
they would soon be earning "fifty per"
ns "the celebrated Plying Hrothers!''
And they had a sncred motive In view,
"for mother's sake." She had scrubbed,
washed, worked day and night to ralso
them. Now, even out of the trivial
amount they earned selling papers, they
had saved a small sum to buy her a new
"comfort-rocker" w'hen alio came out of
the hospital.
Jimmy went through his practice in a
half-henrted way. Ills cherished hopes
had been "sat on." lie believed In fairies
and luck, and therefore In "the Governor"
and his turkeys, and ho determined to
find out more about them the next day,
without saying anything about It to tho
seeding Ned.
Opportunity presented the following af
ternoon. Jimmy was getting rid of his
last "extry," when he recognized a splen
did figure coming up the street It was
"the Governor!"
With duo awe and hesitation Jimmy
approached him, and the smiling, good
natured young man noticed It.
"Well, youngster," he said, "you act as
If you wanted to speak to me."
"I do, Governor."
"What's that?" exclaimed the other,
puzzled.
"Oh. I know yon!" nodded Jimmy In
a mysterious. Masonic way anil blurted
out his story, and asked to be put on "tho
two-turkey list."
An amused cxprcasloa crossed "the
Governor's" face. He wos only a trav
eling jewelry salesman, but he could not
mar this lad's bright faith. He looked
Interested nud grave when Jimmy told
all his story of. hardship, hope and en
deavor. "Jimmy Qulnn." he said, taking out his
note book and making an entry. "Keep
ijulet about my being the Governor, be
cause I'm a modest man, and don't like
to attract attention."
"Yes, sir," promised Jimmy fervently,
proud of the confidence Implied.
"Thanksgiving day, when your mother
comes home, you shall have two turkeys,
behind 8 SAteht! containing hnt lt'

roof "
"Which room, sir?" demanded Jimmy,
In the sparkling ardor of a mighty
thought.
"That where this wire crosius to an

Jimmy!"
Whiz! Jimmy had seized tho wire. I.lka
a sprite he made a descent to which his
practiced hands were Inured.
Into the open window-lost In tho
smoke a moment, Into view again, blind
ed, spluttering, a satchel strnpped to his

"I've got It!" he yelled hilariously.
"I'or merry's sake, be careful!" remark
ed the nnxloiis "Governor."
Hut Jimmy laughed. He cvrn cut nn
acrobatic caper across the dangling wire,
and, lliiaherl and happy, landed on tho
opposite roof, tendering the satchel with
the words':
"There-you are, Mr. Governor!"
That satchel coa'nlned "the Govern
or's" samples, !?20,000 In precious gems.
When he wrote to his firm and then to
the insurance people explaining Jimmy's
brave and daring exploit, one sent a check
for $300, tho other "for double that
amount.
The happiest woman In Christendom
the bright Thanksgiving day ensuing was
Mrs. Mary Qulnn.
Her "brave lads" had placed ?000 In

And, truo to his promise, "tho Gov
