(Continued from page 385) 
stroking his golden beard reflectively .J 
“supposin’ I was to get up and bream 
your neck for that.” ” 
“Then you would, at least, save me 
from the folly of becoming a smith.” 
“My chap,” he growled, holding up a 
warning hand, “go easy now, go easy; 
don’t get me took again.” 
“Not if I can help it,” I returned. 
“I be a quiet soul till I gets took— 
a very quiet soul—lambs bean’t quieter, 
but I won’t answer for that neck o’ 
yourn if I do get took—so look out!” 
“I understand you have an im¬ 
portant piece of work on hand,” said 
I, changing the subject. 
“Th’ owd church screen, yes.” 
“And are in need of a helper?” 
“Ah! to be sure—but you are n’t 
got the look o’ a workin’ cove. I never 
see a workin’ cove wi’ ’ands the like o’ 
yourn, so white as a woman’s they be.” 
“I have worked hard enough in my 
time, nevertheless,” said I. 
“What might you ’ave done, now?” 
“I have translated Petronius Arbiter, 
also Quintilian, with a literal render¬ 
ing into the English of the Memoires 
of the Sieur d6 Brantome.” 
“Oh,” exclaimed the smith, “that 
sounds a lot! anything more?” 
“Yes,” I answered; “I won the Hjgh 
Jump, and Throwing the Hammer.” 
“Throwin’ th’ ’ammer!” repeated 
Black George musingly; “was it any¬ 
thing like that theer?” And he pointed 
to a sledge near by. 
“Something,” I answered. 
“And you want work?” M 
“I do.” m 
“Tell ’ee what, my fellow, if you can 
throw that theer ’ammer further nor 
me, then I ’ll say, ‘Done,’ and you can 
name your own wages, but if I beat 
you, then you must stand up to me for 
ten minutes, and I ’ll give ’ee a good 
trouncin’ to ease my mind—what d’ 
ye say?” 
After a momentary hesitation, I 
nodded my head. 
“Done!” said I. 
“More fool you!” grinned the smith, 
and, catching up his sledge-hammer, he 
strode out into the road. / 
B EFORE “The Bull” a small crowd 
had gathered, all newly come from 
field or farmyard, having doubtless been 
drawn thither by the outcry of Black 
George and myself. Now I noticed 
that while they listened to the Ancient, 
who was holding forth, snuff-box in 
hand, yet every eye was turned to¬ 
wards the smithy. At our appearance, 
however, I thought they seemed, one 
and all, vastly surprised. 
“Well, I ’ll be danged!” exclaimed 
Job. 
“I knowed it! I knowed it!” cried 
the Ancient, rubbing his hands and 
chuckling. 
“Knowed what, Gaffer?” inquired 
Black George, as we came up. 
“Why, I knowed as this young chap 
would come out a-walkin’ ’pon his own 
two legs, and not like Jo]b, a-rollin’ 
and a wallerin’ in the dust o’ th’ road 
—like a hog.” 
“Why, y’ see, Gaffer,” began the 
smith, almost apologetically it seemed 
to me, “it do come sort o’ nat’ral heave 
the likes o’ Job about a bit—Job ’s 
made for it, I might say, but this chap 
’s different.” 
“So ’e be, Jarge—so ’e be!” nodded 
the Ancient. 
“Though, mark me, Gaffer, I are n’t 
nohow in love wi’ this chap neither— 
’e gabs too much, to suit me, by a long 
sight!” 
“ ’E do that!” chimed in Job, edging 
nearer; “what I sez is, if ’e do get ’is 
back broke, ’e are n’t got nobody to 
blame but ’isself—so cocksure as ’e be.” 
“Job,” said the Ancient, “hold thee 
tongue.” 
In this conversation I bore no part, 
busying myself in drawing out a wide 
circle in the dust, a proceeding watched 
by the others with much interest, and 
not a few wondering comments. 
“What be goin’ to du wi’ ’ammer, 
Jarge?” inquired the Ancient. 
“Why,” explained the smith, “this 
chap thinks ’e can throw it further 
nor me.” At this there was a general 
laugh. “If so he ’e can,” pursued 
Black George, “then ’e comes to work 
for me at ’is own price, but if I beat 
’im, then ’e must stand up to me wi’ 
’is fists for ten minutes.”

Beautiful Betty Louise 
QUEEN 
OF ALL 
THE 
DOLLS 
TWO FEET TALL 
f a ^ or Only 4 Yearly 
1 Cl cl To Subscriptions, New or Renewal 
Reward No. 60-D-l —Betty 
Louise is just the loveliest 
doll you ever saw. Her 
pretty face is made of a fine 
quality bisque. She is not 
a stuffed doll, but a big live- 
looking beauty that will 
make her the royal favorite 
of every little girl who re¬ 
ceives her. 
Betty Louise is quite 
modest and dislikes to talk, 
but if she could talk this is 
what she would say about 
herself: 
“I am about 2 feet high 
and have bright eyes that 
open and close. I have a 
well-made, all jointed com¬ 
position body, arms and 
legs. If you want me to sit 
m down, all you have to do is 
J fix me for that position. 
“I have three joints in 
| each of my arms, the first 
one being at my shoulder, 
the second at my elbow, and 
the third at my wrist. My 
hands, dear little girls, are 
almost like your own. I 
have four fingers and a 
thumb on each hand, and 
the top of each finger is 
painted to give it the ap¬ 
pearance of a finger nail. 
“Long, dark brown, silky 
eyelashes are shown above 
my 'big brown eyes that 
open and close, and I have 
pretty hand-painted brown 
eyebrows. Because I am al¬ 
ways smiling, you can see 
three of my pretty white 
teeth—another thing which 
most dolls do not have. 
“Because I love to have 
little girls or their mothers 
fuss around and make 
clothes to suit me, I come 
dressed in only a fine quality 
cambric chemise, and wear 
a pair of pretty white 
canvass slippers with white socks to match. Please make me 
your companion. I promise to make you happy.”
