Lifting his hat gracefully, Jimmie
bowed an acknowledgment, and his tios
moved as if about to speak, while
criers af. "Hear, hear!" "Give its a
speech!" Let's have your polities!" ran
through the excited throng. Standing

would not endanger his sister's car-
riage, and, besides that, he felt that

he want to run for that. very aagree:ible

"Couldn't of 'done much better my-
self," said the delighted Bill, hovering
about the window of the carriage in
which Jimmie had how taken his seat.
Thoroughly,- tired of the scene, Jim-

home, and the iron grays sprung qui.lk-

caught 13i11's parting Words, "Call

I'll show you the old gal. You know

It seemed like a new world to ;Jim-
mie when, after they had left the noisy
crowd, they turned into the pleasant,
quiet street which wound up the hill to
where the handsome Mather mansion
stood, every blind thrown back and
wreaths of smoke curing graeef;llly
