at break fast I want you to do something for me today after your regular Saturday- chorea What is it I asked I want you- to take one of the horses and the light wagon and go to eight or ten places and collect a lot of eggs that have been promised to the of our church for the egg festival in the village It was the Saturday before Easter The egg festival had been planned for the purpose of raising funds to buy a new organ and was to be held in the vestry of the church on this even ing Eggs were to be served in every conceivable way Some were to be colored and sold and some sold as nice fresh eggs for home consumption As I enjoyed the prospect of driv ing around the country that balmy spring morning I made haste to hitch one of our horses to the wagon While doing this I heard some one call out Hello Jerry some place I looked round and saw Luke Hop- tins staring over the barnyard fence Yes I am I replied To the village Yes after have gone to a dozen other places first Dont you want to go with met Dont care if I do I came over to see if you Would go rabbithunting with me but youve something better on hand and I have to go to the I village sometime today anyhow Luke who was about my own age lived on the farm next to ours and he and I spent most of our spare time together He said as we drove out of the barnyard We ought to have some fun before we get home Where are you going first Over to Susan You dont mean to say that old Susan Dorr is going to give you any Mother has her name first the list I said It ia the first time Susan Dorr for all her money ever was known to give away anything replied Luke Susan wan in her dooryard when I drove op to her gate She came for ward to ask me what I wanted My mother told me to call here for some eggs you were going to give for the egg festival I said Well I as I can spare any after all said Susan My hens aint been as I had a right to expect they would at this time of the year an eggs are a cent a dozen more than usual just now as I said that I would I reckon I must lot you have a few anyhow You wait here an Ill go an em out She returned presently with three small and not very fresh looking eggs One of em is cracked but it will do just as well as any for she said as she handed them to me One of you had better hold the cracked one in your hand so it wont crack clear open Luke took the with a grin on his face and as we drove on he said in an undertone Die you ever hear the like And she has more than hens She beats time when it comes to being saving As we drove round a bend in the road by Susan Dorrs barn her big yellow dog a sneakingly cowardly cur came racing out toward uh bark ing and snarling Before I could restrain Luke he stood up in the wagon and let fly with the three eggs had had given us He always threw with accuracy The dog turned and fled yelping with streams of egg dripping from his head and we on down the road with Luke laughing immoderate ly at the animals comical appearance Our next call was at the house of jolly Hiram Browns vtho had five dozen eggs ready for us and we did not receive less than three dozen at any of the twelve or thirteen houses at which we called before we started for the village We received the f ggi packed away in boxes and in palls of sawdust There were more than fifty dozen of them Others were to be sent in from the other side of the town The ladies wont need half of these eggs There are enough here for an amy said Luke H that are left efactiiry in Dover and get a good price for them I told W were within a mile of the of the woods we passed them cithern said mockingly Hello country Jakes to town to sell your truck afr Heow much for aiga cheap 1 reckon At this intimation of an old farmer Lukes spitfire rote Imitat ing the young mocker he replied Wal afga air so blamed cheap that am them away as rewards of merit to little town boys like With that be reached down into a pail at his feet picked up some eggs and hurled one boy who had sneered at us The egg hit boy squarely on the nose and his mates instead of resents Lakes at burst into loud shouts j of laughter which increased when a second egg crashed under the boys chin and a part of it disappeared be low his collar As he his hat to guard his face a third egg broke in his hair and he turned and HO ABOUT IT ame Compound The Spring System Cleanser and Health Bulkier Makes Sick People

written by Paul to the fled down the road a the poring about of unsympathetic comrades One of them called out as we drove on I guess he wont say country japes again soon you served him eggsactly right Thats six eggs have thrown away said Lake to me and I am perfectly willing to pay for them and for six more if they are needed for dogs and boys a We were on the outskirts of the town when we saw a rabbit run from some and enter a hollow log by the roadside Lets twist out said Luke as he laid a hand on the reins and stopped the horse Wed better go on I said Lake however was bound to get that rabbit and he jumped from the wagon and began to look for a stick with a crotch on the end of it He found one in the woods near by and began to poke away with it in the log after a number of futile attempts to dislodge the raboit Luke found that the stick was not long enough to reach him from the outside and be crawled twothirds of his length into the log Presently he emerged without his hat saying Ill have to get a longer stick You come and stand here by the log and see that he does not get away while I am looking for a stick There is no place to hitch the horse I said He dont need hitching He will stand still enough any place I guess he will I said and wrap ped the lines around the dashboard While Luke searched for another stick I dropped upon my knees peered into the log and even thrust in my head and shoulders Suddenly I heard wheels Hastily withdrawing from the log I saw old Ned running down the road He had fled from a man who had come up behind him on a bicycle a thing which was then al most unheard of in our neighborhood It had evidently given the old horse a great shock for ho snorted widly and went racing down the road at a terrific speed Luke came running from the patch and we ran side by side after the horse The man on the wheel which was a very primitive joined in the pursuit But old Ned left us all far behind He was more than three hundred yards ahead when we saw the wagon topple over as the horse rounded a curve in the road eggs gasped Luke There wont be one left I I said panting We hurried on to the curve in the road and found the ground yellow with broken eggs The bed of the wagon lay a little farther on but old Ned and the runninggear peared We journied on sadly enough and found the horse at a mill near the vil lage one of the millhands having htopped him The runninggear of the wagon was not badly damaged and we drove homeward with the bat tered pails and than a dozen whole eggs I have three dollars that I have been saving toward a rifle and Mr PrendorRast still owes me seventy five cents for sawing wood the first of the winter said Luke I will give that toward paying for eggs I will have to give the fodr dollars I have been nearly six months saving for a shotgnn I said moodily There was a consternation when I reached home and told my mother what had happened and Luke and 1 received what we deserved Then I was sent off to the village to tell the women of the church about the runa way It was a relief to find when I reach ed the church that the man who had been gathering up the eggs on the other side of the town had brought in inch quantities that the festival could go forward with enough to spare for all who might come But this fact did not save my four dollars for me I had to pay it over to the festival fund and Luke had to contribute his three dollars to the same purse Celery Compound it stands supreme as a spring and health builder it reaches without loss of precious time the cause of sickness and
