"Yes, I've j?ot five dollars," said Danny, "and I'm going to spend it, too, because money is easy to get." "If I waa you, honey," said Danny's nurse, "just for once in my life I'd pave money. I'd put that five dollar 1 gold piece away somewneres auu icuj get I had it." "What good would that do?" asked ] Danny. Danny was the only child in a house full of grown people. He not only had his papa and mama to make a fuss over him and to give him money, but there were his grandparents and his Aunt Fannie and bis Uncle John, so it i9 no wonder that the eight year-old boy declared money "easy to get," and failed to understand what good it would do to save the five dol- , lar gold piece that his Uncle George, visiting at his house, bad given him. The thing that bothered Danny, was as to how he should spend his five dollars. "I've got most every thing I want," ( he said, T'and on my birthday in gei j everything else. I wisb I was in New York 'stead of here in Washington, for I've seen all they've got in Wash- ( ington stores and I haven't seen all they have got in New York*" i "Some day, honey," said Danny's nurse, "your papa will be carrying ? you up to New York. If I was you 1 I'djust put that five dollar gold piece i away and forget I had it till my papa i carries me up to New York." j / "Oh, pshaw!" cried Danny, "when < I go to New York grandpa and grand- < ma and papa and mama and Aunt ? Fanny and Uncle John will all give I me ?and papa will see to it that I've i got enough. I'm not going to save I this five dollars till then anyway, be- I cause I might never go to New York; ? I might die." < "So you might, honey," said the ' ~ 41 " " ' '7 lrin/3" nf I iiurat), " hu juu ujigui, uui j. got a notion that you'll live to see < New York." i "I'll bring you a present if I do," ' said Danny, generously. > "I guess a person could buy some- t thing real nice with five dollars. 1 couldn't they, grandma?" asked J Danny, later in the day. "Yes, indeed," said grandma, 1 smiling at him through her spectacles. ( "What ? asked Danny. 1 "Let me see," said grandma. You * have soldier's clothes and a Punch and 1 Judy, and ?" "A steam engine," said Danny. ' "You've got a printing press," said < e ran dm a. < w "Yes," said Danny, "and a telephone and telescope and all things like that. Can't you think of something new, grandma? Can't you? Can't you ?" Presently grandma looked into the face of her grandson and smiled very much. "You've thought of something," cried Danny, "I knew you would." "I cannot tell you what it is, dear," said grandma, softly "because, you see I am going to give it to a certain little boy on bis birthday." "Oh!" said Danny. "I wish I did know what to buy." "Which pockat is the gold piece burhing a bole in ?" asked grandma, laughing outright. Danny laughed, too. "This one," he said, and dived into the right pocket of bis short trousers. "Dear, areu't you afraid you'll lose it ?" questioned garndma. > * > ? oKaaIt hio onrlv Vt oqH JL/aUUj ouwn mo vu??^ "Never lost any money in my life," . he said, "just spent it all." "Some little boys would think themselves rich if they had five dollars," ( said grandma. "I know I'm rich," said Danny, "but I wouldn't think that I was rich on account of five dollars." 1 "I'm afraid," said grandma, "thai J you have more money than is good lor ' you, sweetheart. When I was a lit- ' lie girl I would have felt very rich il anyone had given me a five dollar J gold piece." "What would vou have bouehtwitb I it, grandma ?" asked Danny. "Let me see," said grandma. "1 would have bought a doll for Sadie and I a book for each of the boys and some- I thing for father and mother and a fresent for mammy in the kiirhen. ' would have bought a whole lot ol candy and had money left." ' "It must be awful nice to have sisters . and brothers," said Danny. "Itis," said grandma. "You poor little fellow to be the only oue. Dan ny, come nere auu uiiuju iuio grauuma's lap, do matter if you are a big boy of eight." Danny was quite accustomed to climbing into grandma's lap,so be did it deftly and put his arms around the 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 grandma. "Grandma, if you want me to buy 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.

I "1 wish it would come soon," said j Danny. Danny's opportunity came early the next morning, before anyone else in the house was awake. The little boy, lying in his white bed, adjoining ' 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 to the 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," be 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. I wish I had laid off Washington, I would have put all - the good houses together and no milk 5 wagons would dare travel anywhere but in alleys. Of course I can't sleep when milk wagons make that much noise. I know it is a milk wagon." Although Danny spoke very posit! ively 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 Dottle of ? milk to the door of the very nexl houBe. "Our bottles come to the basement," thought Danny, "but tbey ought to be put around at the kitchen door. If I had laid out Washington I wouldn't have had any basement doors in front. They're ugly." The patient old horse harnessed to th milk wagon bad been standing very still down in the dimness of the morning, his head bowed meekly, but suddenly something startled him and be gave a great jump into tbe air. Danny saw him. a "terrible iumD awav uc into the air," the little boy described it, and out into the street with an ominous clatter went the two large boxes filled with bottles of milk and cream. Instautly a great white spot, resembling snow, was down there in the dim street and the old horse was standing patieutly still again, his head bowed meekly. Danny, half scared, feeling almost as if he had helped to bring about the disaster, crept back into his little white bed. The only child in the house full of grown people was possessed of a lively imagination. He lay back in bis little white bed and speculated as to what would happen on account of the accident, while down there under the window he heard the milk man gathering up the broken bottles. uThe man at the dairy will be furivnn f) t)iAnrvV)f T^onnv 4tonH nnhnHu JUO, lliUU^UL x/auuj , wnu uvvvvtj will know that it wasn't the milk man's fault. The man at the dairy may just think he did it on purpose, ind he didn't. The dairyman may discharge this milkman and get anther?and it was all an acoident?it wasn't the man's fault and it wasn't ;he horse's fault; something must have Beared the horse like everything, for tie gave a terrible jump away up into ;heair. And we won't get any milk md Mrs. Wilson and lots of people svon't get any milk, and every body will be mad ?and nobody will know jow it was?nobody but me. 1 wonier?" and Danny turned over and razed towards the window through jvhich came the Bound made by the n ilk man gathering up the broken bot;lea. "I wonder what the damage ivaa ? I wonder if it was five dollars ? [n a minute the little boy was out of jed again. He put on his little short ;rousers directly over his night drawers, felt in the right-hand pocket and vent from the room and down the itairs, holding on to the banisters in ;he darkness. He found it a little troublesome to mlock the hall door and the vestibule ioor, but he managed to do it and step )utside, although the weather was Ditter cold. "Milkman !" he called, shrilly, milkman!" The milkman had about gathered up ;he last of the broken bottles and he ;ave a start and looked wonderingly sverat the steps; then he advanced lowards the small figure and said sharply, "look here, little cbap, you'll jaicn your aeaiu 01 coiu. uei ngui sack there into the house." Danny felt the kindness of the milknan. "I won't go into the vestibule," he jaid, "less you go, too, because I'vegot iomething to say to you." "I haven't time," said the man; I've jot to get back quick as a wink?I'm i new man and am lookiug for my walking papers for being careless." "You weren't careless," said Danny. 'I saw the accident. What was the Jamaee?" You'll bill yourself; go into the house," ordered the maD. "What was the damage?" repeated Danuy. The milkman gave a short laugh. 'Five dollars, I reckon," he said, 'now will you go into the house?" "No," said Dauuy. Then the man who expected to receive his walking papers in a short Lime, ran up the steps of the large bouse, took hold of the small boy and lifted him into the hall. But Danuj's hand had been into the pocket of his ehort trousers and it had been somewhere else, too, into the pocket of the milbman. til .?*? * a nnnS/lanf ) I V? a ovnloin JL ^OW IUC aUUIUCIJl) UC tApiuiu J 'and I'll tell the people up here not to jet mad.
