BOY HAD BEEN REASONING tis Brothers' Names Supplied With Extensions, He Provided O n . for Himself. Gabrielle E. Jackson tells the fol- owing story In her book for girls, 'Peggy Stewart:” Peggy’s father has just returned from an extended absence and his laughter 13 showing him over the es­ tate. They come to one of the cab­ ins In which lives the family of Joshua lozadak Jubal Jones. “I want you to see this family," ex­ plained Peggy to her father. "They might all be of one age, but they are not—quite. Come here, boys, and see Master Captain," called Peggy to the three pickaninnies who were peeping tround the corner of the cottage. “Hello, boys. Whose sons are you? Miss Peggy tells me you are broth­ ers.” “Yas, sir, we is. We's Joshua Joza- iak Jubal Jones' boys. I’se Gus, da al'es’.” "And how old are you?” “I'se nine, I reckons.’’ “And what is your name?” “My name? Gus, sah.” “That’s only half a name. Your whole name Is really Augustus, re­ member.” The “Massa” Captain's voice boomed with the sound of the sea. ‘‘And your name?” continued the questioner, pointing at number two. "I'se jist Jule, sah„” was the shy re­ ply- ¡-4 “That's a nickname, too. I can’t have Buch slipshod, no account names for my hands’ children. It isn't dig­ nified. It isn't respectful. It’s a disgrace, Miss Peggy. Do you hear?” “Yas, yas, sir; we hears," answer­ ed the little darkies in chorus. “Please, sah, wa's his name ef 'taiu't Jule?" Augustus plucked up heart of grace to ask. “He is Julius, Jul-i-us; do you under­ stand?” “Yes, sir; yes, sir.” Another dimo helped the memory. “And your name?" asked the “Massa Captain” of the quaking num­ ber three. There was a long, significant pause, tten contortions. At length, after two of three futile attempts, he blurted out: “I’se—I’se Billyus, sah!” There was an explosion of laugh­ ter. Then Nell Stewart tossed the re­ doubtable Billyus a quarter, crying, “You win,” and walked away with Peggy, his laughter now and then borne back to hi3 beneficiaries. W. L.
