HOW WE BOYS TRIED IT 'Hill Hrayioii'a fall er ca.no one sj ri nj.; and rented ii 'arm near Ut?. Fal lier said we'd better not have much to do willi 'em flt fir-"., till wc found nul ulm' BOT! they were, bul thej got HO neighborly al! at once we couldn't help it very well. They came 'most every day to borrow something, mid Iben if they dido' bring it back-aud they 'most always didn't - I used to have to go for it, so I saw a good ilea! of Ned and Hill. "They lind a cousin that came out for a week in harvest time. Ile was in bus inerts in New V?<rk, and wore light cd ored plaid clothes. Ho was very socia ble, too, und would tome around about lunch limo in the hayfield, and would eal with us as free as anything, which seemed very good of bim when you'd hear him talk of his hotel in the city. Ile was very fond of the plums and har vest apples, too, and praised up every thing we offered bim, hut ?lid say that as for liim ho had mi taste lor farming. Thc eily was the place for boy- of spiri'.. And the Urinion boys thought si too, and said thal they bad no taste for farm i Hg, and they meant to get in the city as soon as they could. And when I camu to think it over, I really began to see that I bad no lasle for fanning either. And I thought it strange that father and mother had never concerned themselves to lim! nut what my tastes wore, for 1 bad rend a book thai il is a sn!eiun?diity for parents to study the tastes of their children, and that ilieir success in life depends a great deal on such things. "Tom Illy-that was the city chap's name-had a lot of splendid Utile books he lent the Brayton buys, and:they lent 'em to me and told me not to tell. They wcro regular ri proa ring stories, / tell you:-all about fights, and scouts, and death struggles, and dark mysteries, and bold adventures. 'Flin fellows in thom were HO brave that one of 'em wimbi think no more of riding up to a lot of fellows, and stabbing one and shooting two or three with his revolver, and knocking down another with it, and putting spurs to his horse lind galloping oil' in a per fect hailstorm of bullets, than of eating breakfast. "Hill Brayton thought he'd try being ono of these heroes out on the plains, and como back in a few years rich-own ing v. cattle ranch and no end of gold mines and things. Hut Ned Brayton and I thought we'd go into business in tile eily, like Torn Illy. "I Hooke to father about il. Hu laughed when I told bim of ruy tastes, and said I didn't know when I was well oil'. 'J'luil is just the way the fathers in the books did-' keeping your lives crushed down by uncongenial surround ings ' they called it. And Hill and Ned's father said be hoped they'd grow up to something better than such a hand to niouth liftf as Tom lily's. "00 il wns very easy to sec how tho boys in tho books bad been driven to run away from their homes. We talked a great deal about it, and made up our minds that if wc wanted to have any thing of a career, wo must run away. "It was an August morning very early when 1 tiptoed down stairs in my stock ing feet. As I passed mother's door I did wisli I could hnvo wished her good bye, and told lier how I'd remember my promise to her never to smoke or drink a gltius of beor till I'm twenty-one. (She think?, you see, that if a fellow lets it alono thal long, he'll have sense enough to keep on letting it alone.) I almost felt like giving it up when I knew she'd feel badly about it; but I'd left her a noto tolling her I was just go'mr to New York to make my fortune, and I'd write to her. And 1 thought of all tho splendid things I'd do for her when I got to bc a great merchant, and so I stole into thc parlor and got a card picture of my two little sisters and wrapped it up (ibero wasn't any of mother) and went on. We had three miles to wallt to tho railroad station. " 'No moro milking cows or piling wood or dropping corn or plowing Hurrah 1' says Hill, as wc rattled alonij in the cars. "Each of us had monev enough to tnlto IIB to Now York, and a littlo over. We found it n sight better to be. living along that way in the uno morning thaa to bo turning out for a day'.-, work. We were going to look fur Tom Hiv-he had told UH all to be Huro to como "right to him if ever wo carno to town, and wo thought it likely ho could lind places for us at otico either in his own business or among his friends. AH we walked along the handsome street?, we couldn't help wondering bow Hoon nomo such splendid stores might bolong to us. "Hill had Tom Bly'B add ress-he was n grocer-and we soon began tu look for him. The atreet they told us to go didn't look so nice ns we thought it would. Hut at last wo found Tom Bly'n store, and that didn't look nice at all. We went in nnd looked for him. I was looking for the plaid clothes; for I'd a known 'em anywhere, but I couldn't see 'em and nobody seemed to know about Mr. Rly. Hut soon Hill sung out, 'Hello Tom'-and I saw a wagon drive up and Tom was driving it. He hndn't on tho plaid clothes, nod he hadn't any coat or collar on, and he didn't seem so vory glad to Bee us. "'Well Tom,' Bill said, 'hore we are, you seo. We're in for it. Ready to have you get us into something right off-'jes as you said, you know.' " 'The-old scratch you are I' said Tom. 'You haven't been such fools as to como away down hero for work, hnvo yon?' " 'Isn't that what you told us I1 "'Well-moy be I did, just to be po lite, but I'm blessed if I thought boys as well kept aa you'd 'a' come pokiu' down here where there's more folks a'rendy Ulan's wanted. When Ibero's ono situa tion there's ten fellows after it.' "This was a wonderful take down. We thought he'd ask us to go to his ho tel, but bo didn't. We said we'd stroll 'round a little, and we drolled 'round ; and we asked in some places if they wanted a boy, but nobody seemed to want any boys. We went Inti a park to cat all we had lefi of the lunch we'd brought from borne. "Bo off there-you rascals," some one shouted, and tho first thing we knew a big policeman was hustling us out, and telling us if we ever set a foot there again we'd be locked up. "All for going on the grans 1 " 'There's lots o' grass to home, whim pered Ned. Ned waa smaller 'n mo and lilli. ?Let 's go home, I say 1' "We laughed at bim, but not very hard. Bill snid he was going to start for the plains to-morrow, going to work his way out somehow. We went back to Tom Bly and asked him if he knew wbero we could sleep, and he s'posed they'd take ua in whore he slept, if we had any money. We ali thought it would bo very grand to put up at a city hotel, but it wasn't. There wasn't half enough sup per, and the beds were awfully crowded up in one room. In the morning a man came along and said we were to pay thirty cents each for one supper and our beds. . . "Me and Ned had g'ven Bill our mon ey lo take care of, all out a few cents, bc c.": use he waa tho biggest. And now bo felt in bia pocket and it waa gone I He felt and felt, and then he hollowed out: " 'I've been robbed ! Thieves Y "The man swore at him and asked bim if be meant he'd been robbed there. He took all the money me and Ned had, and bon be gave Bill a kick and told him to be off. "Tom Bly gava os a lot of cracker* at ids atore, and said we'd batter go homo. But,v was too much ashamed, and thought I'd try lo got wr.rk. ? walked till I waa footsore, aud all tho work I found was carrying a parcel, and I got ten cents for it and bought a loaf of bread. Bill said ho wai going to tho depot to go Wc.-t. I Ned went with hin?, and when night (vjitie ) tvai't'l lill t w.i> ?Itrk, ?ind then i sneaked into a pretty yard where there was tues, mid crawled into :t hammock lhere and fell asleep. "I woke very enrlv, *?.te! saw a gentle* man in the yard looking al me. I was afraid l e was going to have nie taken up for going on hut grass, and I jumped up. Thc hammock stuck to one of my hut tons, and I didn't wait, hut torc away from it and ran away without my hat. The gentleman called mc to stop, bul I jumped over the fence and ran as hard as I could a gnat way, till I was clear nut ol breath. "When 1 stopped lo see where I was a j boy came rushing up to UK* and say? he : "Isn't this your pocket hook?" Then ho ran away. I thought at tirst it might 'a' been minc thal was stolen but in a second 1 caw 'twanli't and I hollered after him to tell him. Hut he didn't stop, and while I was looking ut il and seeing 'twas a handsome one, two men ran up and took hold of my arms. I says : "''lou ht me go. now !" "Hut tiny -ays: '(Jome ulong, my Sue fid low,' and they snatched tho pocket boolr and went hauling me along. There was a crowd 'round me in a minute, I kicked and fought at 'em, but they held me tight md they al i oped some iron Illings on ".y wrist-, and lhere I was jerked along that way, and a big ?ot of boys hollering after mo ! They took mo into a great building and locked me un, and I didn't know what 'twas for more ti (he dead. "I lay down in a corner and wondered if I'd ever get out, and if I'd ever see home again. I wondered whnt mother'd say il she could see me. I wondered what tliey were doing on the farm. Af ter a great while they took nie out. "'Where you going lo take me?' I said. " 'Before the magistrate.' "Then folks carne nr.- told how la-t night I'd stoic a pocket-book from a Indy, and they'd been Lacking me ever since, and just found me willi thc pocket-book in my hands. I brok?: right out, ami told how the fcllow'd given it to me, bul they mude mo stop till they'd examined a lol o'witnesses, und th?-y all said i'd stole il. Then they Iel mo tell how I'd slept all night somewhere else, hut they wanted mo lo Liing some uno to say if it was so, and wouldn't believe mc when I told 'em it was thc solemn truth. Just then I saw the gentleman standing in tho door that had seen mc in his hammock. I hoped he wouldn't soc nie, for I was afraid he'd como to set! about getting me punished. Hut he did see mo, and . ?ame 'ip lo me. Ile took a hulton out of his pocket, mid laid il against my coal, ll had a hit of ibo coat hanging to il that I had tore out when I jumped from the hammock and it just fitted in. " 'This boy was in my grounds all nigh'.,' he says. 'I was up preparing im portant papers, and waiting for telegrams. 1 saw him several times.' "They asked him some more niicsliuna, and then tho magistrate says, ''rho pris oner is discharged." "Thc gentleman took my arin and led me out.'' 1 says tu bini : "I'll never do it nguiu, sir. What you going to do to me?" Ile laughed and suya : "Haven't you got astray, my boy ?" "I thought I had tho worst way, you'd better believe I And I told him so, and I told him all about it und he thought I'd better go hume. I'd given my eyes to get tlwre that moment, hut 1 huted to tell him I had no money to go on, so 1 J told him HS I'd come I'd liko to try do- 1 ing something, if I lind a chnnce. ile tunk n long look nt mu, mid said perhaps that would bo the best, nnd said he'd write to my father. "Ile was a real good friend to me. Ile talked hits to mo mid got me n situation. They told mo they never paid much to green hands. I slept under a counter, and gol enough to pity my board and a little over. I run errands, and swept and scrubbed floors, and worked harder n ever I'd done in my life. My clothes got shabby, but I saved up every cent. "And on Thanksgiving-day I got a holiday, and then I told the boss I bad no tanto for tho city. And I took tho early train for home. "Aa 1 gol off the cars to walk home a train came in from the other way, and I saw a lanky-looking chap got of)'. I didn't know him at first, und thin I saw it was Hill. "Just gettin'home?" said ht-. "Ves," sam I. "Paid youl way?" "Yes," "You've done belter'n me," says he, "I've boen as fur as Indiany. nnd I've been down with tho chills and fever six weeks, and some one wrote to father for money to neild me home." "Where's Ned?" snyH I. "Home, ile started to walk buck that day I started Weet. Footed it all the seventy miles 'ceptlifts he got!" I found father just punine up the horses nfter they got home from church. 1 went up to him and say? ? : "Do you want to hire a boy, sir?" "He dropped the limier on the barn floor, and grabbed hold o' both rr.y hands and looked into my eyes. " 'The Lord bless you, Sammy,' says he, 'we've all been looking for you. Well-yes, I do want n boy-if I can got one that has a tasto for farming.' "I shouted out : 'I'm tho boy !' and .hen 1 rushed in and got my arms around mother's neck, and nearly made her drop the great big turkey she was just getting out of the oven. I guess it was some time before she or the little girltt knew whether they were laughing or crying, and then father carno in nud-if 1 hadn't beeu a boy I'd a hardly known either when I told 'em how sorry I was I'd given 'em so much trouble, and how glad 1 was to get back. ft, "I tell you, boys, If there's anything to be thankfuller for on Thanksgiving than anything else, it's for having a home nnd a chance to stay there.

It does away with tho noisy shuttle, but uses a bobbin that holds one hundred vards of thread on the underside, thereby ?aving a great annoyance in stopping so often to till thc shuttle. It .sews from the lightest to the very heaviest fabric without change or ten lion. It will do all tho werk that any other Machine will do, and a great ?hal that no other can do.
