THE BLUE AND GOLD. '17. I5 spite. He would be just as bad as he could be. He thought he might go over to Aunt Jane's and, — but she might catch him in the act and give him some work to do for punishment. IIe would go over and burglarize Betty's doll house. While planning the details of this intended adventure, Bobbie was unceremoniously interrupted by Marian, his older sister. There was nearly always a state of war existing between the two, and their relations were more than usually strained today, for Bobbie had caused his sister much embarrassment the evening before. He had. without any warning whatever, sat down on her caller's hat. "Come here, you little scamp." she cried. been looking for you for a long time, but you managed to keep at a safe distance." "What did you want me for?", grinned Bobbie, mischief replacing his former gloom. "Have you got any more hats?" — He got no further. Marian grasped him by the arm and being the stronger of the two. dragged him struggling into the house. His mother at once gave him more to do than was to his liking. One task in particular he openly rebelled against. That was the awful humiliation of carrying a boquet of roses to Mrs. Brown. the minister's wife. "What would the fellers say." he said. "if they should see me carrying a boquet of flowers like if I was a girl." His mother was firm. however, and Bobbie started off with a boquet of roses in his hand, and murder in his heart. He had not been long on his way, when he met the boys coming back from swimming. "Well here's Robert," yelled Wallie Bacon. "Why hello. Bob. Say, why didn't you come swimming? Oh I see," lie added significantly, eyeing the flowers. Bobbie's wrath did not permit him to reply. Then Paddy Ross said: "Say Bob, wont you give us one." Bobby did not feel kindly disposed toward anyone at the time and fought off the boys with the ferocity of a wild animal. At last he escaped with a bleeding nose and a sad looking boquet. When lie arrived at the Brown residence, he hesitated at handing in the flowers, which had lost their freshness in the struggle. He at length decidedto ring the door bell and leave the roses without any explanation as to their kind donator. He dropped the flowers, rang the bell, and took the steps leading down from the porch at a leap. But his trials were not yet to be ended. 11 e slipped and fell upon the lawn, which had recently been generously sprinkled by the gardener. He picked himself up ready to cry, and struggled manfully with the tears that almost came. He looked around but apparently no one had witnessed his sad misfortune. In utter misery, he wandered on with no thought of going home. He was just wondering what else could possibly happen to him, when a glad bark attracted his attention and there stood Tige, his lost companion of a few months before. Tige was a poor mongrel. as bedraggled looking as his young master. Bobbie's family had deemed Tige a nuisance and hail got rid of him one day when Bobbie was not at home : a mean trick in his estimation. He had never found out how they bad disposed of him : and when a month passed and Tige did not Present himself of his own accord, Bobbie had been inclined to believe that he was dead. Tige was overjoyed at seeing his young master, for there had always been a mutual undertanding between the two. In Bobbie's opinion, they were both companions in misery. Bobbie wandered on, with his dog following joyfully at his heels. Before long they came to the woods near the suburbs of the town. 'the afternoon was warm, and Bookie lay down under a tree to rest. Before long. probably worn out by his trying experiences, he fell asleep. The sun was advanced far in the west. and Tige became uneasy. Something in his dog's mind told him Bobbie should not sleep any longer. So he raised his head and barked until his young master sat up in alarm. When he saw how late it was. Bobbie started hastily for home. He had wandered farther than be realized, and it was quite dark before he reached home. He found the household not lightly disturbed over his disappearance, and the dog had been in his old home for some time before he was noticed. Bobbie judged this to be an appropriate time to plead in Tige's behalf, and the dog was once more established in his home. So Bobbie thought the end of a troublesome day brought a worthy recompence.
