The Abbeville Press and Banner. 1 BY HUGH WIL30N. ABBEVILLE, 8. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13.1904. ESTABLISHED 1844 M Danny's Five Dollar Piece. I . I By Louise R. Baker. "Ye9, I've got five dollars," said r Danny, "and I'm going to spend it, ^ . too, because money is easy to get." ft "If I was you, honey," said Danny's i nurse, "just for once in my life I'd save money. I'd put that five dollar jj gold piece away somewheres and for- si get I had it." ii "What good would that do?" asked Danny. Danny was the only child in g a hnnao full nf crown ueonle. He not 8J only had his papa and mama to make jj a fuss over him and to give him mon- jj ey, but there were his grandparents 0 and his Aunt Fannie and his Uncle b John, so it is no wonder that the eight c; year-old boy declared money "easy to r< get," and failed to understand what tl good it would do to save the five dol- si lar gold piece that his Uncle George, b visiting at his house, had given him. ft The thing that bothered Danny, was b as to how he should spend his five tc dollars. "I've got most every thing I want," g he said, "and on my birthday I'll get ir , everything else. I.wish I was in New w York 'stead of here in Washington,) w for I've seen all they've got In Wasn- ci ington stores and I haven't seen all w they have got in New York*" ei "Some day, honey," said Danny's nurse, "your papa will be carrying oi you up to New York. If I was you w I'djust put that five dollar gold piece a away and forget I had it till my papa na carries me up to New York." ai "Oh, pshaw!" cried Danny, "when di I go to New York grandpa and grand- ol ma and papa and mama and Aunt w Fanny and Uncle fohn will all $?ive th me ?ana papa win see 10 iu iu?i ?- vc m got enough. I'm Dot going to save b( this five dollars till then anyway, be- tjt cause I might never go to New York; ai I might die." w "So you might, honey," said the w nurse, "so you might; but 1 kind of hi got a notion that you'll live to see dc New York." gt "I'll bring you a present if I do," w said Danny, generously. en "I guess a person could buy some- tl? thing real nice with five dollars, w couldn't they, grandma?" asked Ii Danny, later in the day. be "Yes, indeed," said grandma, tr smiling at him through her spectacles, er ' "What ? asked Danny. w "Let me see," said grandma. You st have soldier's clothes and a Punch and th Judy, and ?" "A steam engine," said Danny. ui "Vnn'vflcnU nrintinp nress." said d< grandma. 01 "Yes," said Danny, "and a tele- bi phone and telescope and all things like that. Can't you think of something m new, graudma? Can't you? Can't you ?" tfc Presently grandma looked into the gt face of her grandson and smiled very o^ much. to "You've thought of something," st cried Danny, "I knew you would." cs "I cannot tell you what it is, dear," bi said grandma, softly "because, you see I am going to give it to a certain lit- m tie boy ou bis birthday." "Oh!" said Danny. "I wish I did sa know what to buy." sc "Which pocket is the gold piece burhingahole id?" a&ked grandma, g( i laughing outright. a .Danny laughed, too. "This one," w he said, and dived into the right pocket of his short trousers. u] "Dear, aren't you afraid you'll lose di it ?" questioned garndma. Danny shook his curly head, hi "Never lost any money in my life," he said, "just spent it all." D "Some little boys would think themselves rich if they had five dollars," "j said grandma. "i "I know I'm rich," said Danny, "but I wouldn't think that I was rich on account of five dollars." ct "I'm afraid," said grandma, "thai ti * ?? 1ft <tAA^ 4 r\V k l you lltive UJUIC UIUUCJ luau IB Jfcuvsu iin u< you, sweetheart. When I was a lit- li tie girl I would have felt very rich il anyone had given me a five dollar p< gold piece." b< "What would you have bought with p< it, grandma ?" asked Danny. "Let me see," said grandma. "I "< would have bought a doll for Sadie and g< a book for each of the boys and some- y( thing for father and mother and a ?resent for mammy in the kitchen, at would have bought a whole lot of candy and bad money left." 01 "It must be awful nice to have bisters _ and brothers," said Danny. "Itis," said grandma. "You poor little fellow to be the only one. Danny, come here and climb into grandma's lap, no matter if you are a big : boy of eight." Danny was quite accustomed to cl'.mbing into grandma's lap, so he did I It aeruy ana put, ills arms aruuuu iuc dear old lady's neck. "Don't let us spoil you to death, Danny," said she. "I won't," said Danny, "for I want to be a fine man like papa." ' That's right," said graudma. "Grandma, it you want me to buy D something with my five dollars, I'll do ' it," said the boy, generously. Grandma shook her head. "Dear heart," she said, "I have everything in the world I want. Don't let the money burn a hole in your pocket; just "keep it and after awhile an opportunity will come for you to spend it." I "1 wish it would come soon," said IjL/aiiuj Danny's opportunity came early the next morning, before anyone else in the house was awake. The little bo3T, lying in his white bed, adjoiuing the room of his nurse, was wide awake when a wagon rolled along the street. For some reason or other Danny was not in a good humor?perhaps owing tothe fact of having made taffy the night previous and eaten a little too much of the delicious stuff; anyway, Danny felt like grumbling. "I wish old milk wagons wouldn't travel along this street," he grumbled. "I bet in New York they have to always go to the back. Washington's got too many old good-for-nothing houses stuck in our good neighborhoods, anyway. 1 wish I had laid off Washington, I would have put all the good houses together and no milk wagons would dare travel anywhere T IDUt ID alleys. U1 Cuumc i uau t oicup when milk wagons make that much noise. I know it is a milk wagon." Although Danny spoke very positively he wanted to make sure that he was right, so he got out of his little white bed and went over to the window. Yes, it was a milk wagon and the milk man was carrying a bottle of nilk to the door of the very next toupe. "Our bottles come to the basement," bought Danny, "but they ought to be mt around at the kitchen door. If I lad laid out Washington I wouldn't lave had any basement doors in front, 'hey're ugly." The patient old horse harnessed to b milk wagon had been standing very till down in the dimness of the inornug, his head bowed meekly, but sudenlv something startled him and he avea great jump into the air. Danny aw hlui, a "terrible jump away up ato the air," the little boy described and out iuto the street with an minous clatter went the two large oxes filled with bottles of milk and ream. Instantly a great white spot, ?sembling snow, was down there in ae dim street and the old horse was landing patieutly still again, his head owed meekly. Danny, half scared, teliug almost as if he had helped to ring about the disaster, crept back in> his little white bed. The only child in the house full of rown people was possessed of a lively naginatiou. He lay back in his little hite bed and speculated as to what ould happen on account of the acdent, while down there under the indow he heard the milk man gath*ing up the broken bottles. ' The man at the dairy will be furijs," thought Danny, "and nobody ill know that it wasn't the milk ? ^ / ?n rnu. ?* lao s muu. iue ijuuij m iuo uunj iay just think be did it on purpose, ad be didn't. The dairyman may ischarge this milkman and get au:her?and it was all an accident?it asn't the man's fault and it wasn't le horse's fault; something must have ;ared the horse like everything, for 9 gave a terrible jump away up into leair. And we won't get any milk id Mrs. Wilson and lots of people on'tgetany milk, and every body ill be mad ?and nobody will know aw it was?nobody but me. 1 won;r?" and Danny turned over and szed towards the window through bich came the sound made by the iJkman gathering up the broken botes. "I wonder what the damage as? I wonder if it was Ave dollars? 1 a minute the little boy was out of :d again. He put on his little short ousers directly over his night draws, felt in the right-hand pocket and ent from the room and down the airs, holdiDg on to the banisters in te darkness.

"Milkman !" he called, shrilly, ilkman!" The milkman had about gathered up te last of the broken bottles and he ive a start and looked wonderingly ter at the steps; then he advanced wards the small figure and said larply, "look here, little chap, you'll itch your death of cold. Get right ick there into the house." Danny felt the kindness of the milkan. "I won't go into the vestibule," he .id, "less you go, too, because I've got imething to say to you." "I haven't time," said the man; I've >t to get back quick as a wink?I'm new man and am looking for my alking papers for being careless." "You weren't careless," said Danny, [saw the accident. What was the image?" You'll kill yourself; go into the ause," ordered the man. "What was the damage?" repeated anny. The milkman gave a short laugh. Five dollars, I reckon," he said, now will you go into the house?" "No," said Danny. Then the man who expected to revive his walking papers in a short me, ran up the steps of the large ouse, took hold of the small boy and ! fted him into the hall. But Dannj's hand bad been into the )cket of his ebort trousers and it had ?en somewhere else, too, into the >cket of the milkman. "I saw the accident," he explain, ind I'll tell the people up here not to it mad. I'll tell you something when iu tet back into your wagon.''
