Nick and Nancy look

Thoy lovod to hear
about other children, especially of
boyo aad girls about tholr own ages.
"Wortblngton waa unlike some
brothers, but ho waa ttko you In that
way Nick. Ho liked to play with bla
sister. Bla aUtor liked, too, to play
with him. Ho never frightened her,
but bo showed bcr how to do things,
and ebo waa navor afraid when sho
waa with htm. In tho fall bo took
her for rides In her express cart, and
bo mado a high seat In the cart for
her when ho took her for alower and
more atyliah rides.
"He taught her to dlmb trees and
to swim and to do tricks on the trap
eze. And she, too, used to play In
tbe snowball fights, back In the forts
which ho and tbe other boys would
make.
"Well, It waa summer, and Worthing
ton was not going to school. He
thought .and ho
thought and he
thought, and fin
ally he said:
" 'I wonder If It
couldn't be done.
I will try any
way. Ho work
ed out the whole
scheme In his
head, and the
next day he went
to his aunt who
owned a garden,
and ho said:
"Auntie. I
have been think- More Styllah Rides.
Ing about something.'
" 'Yes,' she snld. 'what have you been
thinking about, Bubby?' For she had
always called him that ever since he
had been a small boy and she had
written a funny little poem for one
of his birthdays where she wrote
Bubby to make It rhyme with chubby.
'"I think Minnie Is eld enough to
ride a bicycle now. I would like to
give her one.'
"A bicycle)' exclaimed their aunt
Why don't you suggest giving her nn
automobile or a molorboat with a
sleeping cabin? How could you ever
manage It, Hubby?'
"She hadn't realized that he had
thought It all out, anil she stopped to
hear what he had to say. for he usu
ally had extremely sensible things to
sny.
"It wouldn't really be so awfully
expensive, auntie, nnd I'd love to do
It so. I would like to give It to her
for Chrl8t,nins. I couldn't do It be
fore I don't believe, and besides she
could look nt It nil winter and think
of what fun It was going to bo In the
summer. I have n bicycle mother nnd
dnddy gave me and I do wish Minnie
could have one, too.'
"'How do you think you could buy
It?' Auntie asked ngnln. She felt
pretty sure by that time that ho might
be able to manage It, but she won
dered how.
"'Well, this summer,' said Worthy,
I could hoe the beans In your garden,
nnd I could weed
the garden paths.
I could water the
tlowers every
alght, and do nil
tho weeding, In
fact. You would
n't need to have
n man do tho
work, except one
day a week to do
the heavy things.
"'I could work

could do all your errands and later I
could rako the leaves nnd build the

"'I could carry tho wood from tho

occasion that hla conscience al

"Hey, thoro, sergeant!" generally
prefaced tbo bestowal of something la

"Ifa duty I bave to attend- to an
alght long," ha told hla wife. "They
say there's a regular band of burglars
on tbe move." '
Now two problems of fate were to
work out a strange series of circum
stances, In the Christmas eve events
appertaining to the redoubtable ser
geant. Tbe first was that tbe little
town Jail bad burned down tbe week
previous. The second was that a new
family bad moved to town early in De
cember, comprising the Waynes fath
er, mother, a charming daughter of
seventeen and three young children.
As Moore passed tbelr place he noted
that It was all dark, tbe family prob
ably absent at some local entertain
ment, and he caught the echo of a
sound resembling tbe tipping over of
a piece of furniture. Then from an
open window a form protruded.
"Burglars I" muttered the sergeant,
and made a dash for the presumable
despoller. .
"Hold on 1" spoke the latter excited
ly. "It's all right"
"Oh, la It?" purred Moore derisively.
"What's that?" and bo made a grab
at the protruding pocket of the young
man.
"If you'll allow me to ezptaln," be
gan the latter. "I know the people
who live here."

minutes later tbe captive found him

sergeant banded Its key to bis wife,
saying:
"You might pass In a jug of water

through the window; it's got no sash
to It. I'll drop around again soon."

PARIS, Not. -llr- (By Mail.)
Dissatisfied with the salary they are
receiving which they cUklm is lower
than that of tho street sweepers in
Paris, the Justices of Peace have
addessed a memorandum to the
Minister of Justice asking for a sub

and Just as she passed tbe things In
she uttered a shriek and crouched
down trembling. Two men bad sud
denly appeared, real burglars thla
.time.
"Oh, sir!" whispered tbe woman
through the cellar window, "they may
kill tbe children I And then there's all
Tim's half yearly pay In the bureau!
Please help me. Here's the key to tho
cellar door," and something tinkled on
the floor. Something else then tran
spired. The released captive located
and knocked down and tied band and
foot the prowler within the house.
Then coming unawares upon the armed
ftandlt outside he toppled him over,
rendered him helpless, and seemed to
enjoy the excitement of It all.
"I am Roscoe Walden and I am en
gaged to Ethel Wayne," be explained
an hour later to the bewildered ser
geant after the latter had transferred
the two criminals to limbo. "This Is
the first time I bave visited tbelr new
home, and I got In surreptitiously to
place a present on the Christmas tree
as a surprise to my lady love. I, don't
want the Waynes to know I am In
Plympton until after she finds It"
There was a rare spice of adventur
ous excitement for pretty Ethel in her
devoted lover's unique experience when
he recited the same the next morn
ing. And meantime Sergeant Moore
was gaining popularity and the com
munity's good will by detailing his
heroic act which had signalized Christ
mas eve In the apprehension of two
desperate criminals who, but for him,
might have had the entire town at
their mercy..
