"Almost too scon!" cried Clarence at | the top of his voice. "Why, I can't ' i wait till it comes. My uncle and aunt 1 ! are coming to visit us, and we will, 1 ! have a very good time. But I must ' j leave you now.

Clarence and Frank were the best i pupils in the school, and they knew the i prize would belong either to one or the i other. j The day of the contest came, and all : were ready to begin.

For the first time Clarence was jeal! ous, and he determined to avenge himj self. As Thanksgiving was drawing ' near he thought this a good time to play a joke. He was walking down i the street the afternoon of the conI test, when he met his chum, James El burn, and, telling him of his plan, j begged him to meet him on the corner that evening. Clarence came home | that afternoon Reeling ill at ease. His I restlessness did not escape unnoticed ; by his sister Evelyn, who was watch- i ing him closely, and when he said he : was going out that evening she followed him. Clarence went straight to the corner, where he met James. "Well/* said the latter, "are you f ready to tell me your plan?" "Yes," answered Clarence, "but you I had bette? come up in our barn." So off thoy trotted, closely followed by Evelyn. Once in the barn, they bolted the door and seated themselves comfortably on some old scrap bags, .when Clarence divulged his scheme. "You know," he began, "that Frank has won the prize, when I wanted it so much." "Well, what of it? What has that to do with fun?" questioned James. "I will tell you," answered Clarence. 1 "We will fill bags and other things with stones and sand, pack them in a basket, put fhem on Frank's doorstep | and watch the fun." j "Capital!" shouted James. [ "Hush!" some one will hear you," I said Clarence. But he was already overheard by I Evelyn, and she in her mind was form| ing a plan. "To-morrow night," continued Clarence. "we will meet here and fill the bags so all will be ready. But now we I H : / iJiMl ISLJ "he was already ovebheabd." must be going," and so they parted In Ms own home Frank Wheeler was exceedingly happy, for now, he i thought, through his good fortune, i they could have a Thanksgiving din! ner.
