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

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

iay just think be did it on purpose,
ad be didn't. The dairyman may

it was all an accident?it

leair. And we won't get any milk

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.
He found it a little troublesome to
alock the hall door and the vestibule
)or, but be managed to do it and step

tter cold.
"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.''
"Put your hand into your pocket
id remember that's to pay damages."
