AFTER the disaster of the Fair Ellen, Billy promised his mother to bar explosives from his play, a promise made readily, for “Betsey has been giving it to me good an’ plenty for leaving that door open,” he explained to her.

“When I do my dishes, Mar, can I work in the garding, too?” inquired Betty. “Jeth could whip your ole mongrel; but I don’t warnt him bit up,” called Moses over his shoulder as he walked away. To this taunt Clarence replied only with a hideous grimace. Moses was whistling a dismal discordant air in the backyard when the voice of his mother smote his ears. He felt his mother start. “You’re too young for hard work, Billy; you do enough as it is.”.
