Hammond found his son, who waa

quite lmpossl' . ftrtuous, gravely con

front window. The situation appeared
easy, so Hammond sat down on the
chair nearest the Infant and pulled
out his oldest and smelliest pipe.
"What do you say to having
smoke, old man?" he Inquired, Jocu-
larly.
"Ough!" replied the baby, approv-
ingly. Then he squirmed off his stool
and went and stood by bis father a

"Rather a good stunt, having the
feminine element take itself off occa-
sionally, hey?" Hammond Inquired
pleasantly, as he pushed the tobacco
down into his pipe with his little Un-
ger. He laid the pipe on the arm of

the mantel to get a match.

tone of finality. He led his son out
into the hall. "Now, will you go back
and pick up the pipe?" he Inquired,
"or will you go into the lavatory and
stay for the rest of the afternoon'!"
For answer the baby dived Into the
lavatory and plunged headlong into a
pile of pteftsantly plump pillows that
had been left on the floor to get the
sun. Finding this quite soul satisfy-
ing, lie presently righted himself and
beamed upon bis progenitor.
"You'll stay here?" asked Hammond.
"Very well. You can come out_when
you're ready to- tfilnd daddy."
The baby merely projected himself
once more into the mass of feathers.
Thereupon Hammond shut the door
and went back to the living room.
Three-quarters of an hour later he re-
turned and led his son forth to the
scene of battle.
"Now," he said, assuming a frown
that should have sent terror to the In-
fantile heart, "pick up that pipe."
The small boy looked up into hi#
father's face and the smile faded from
bis own plump countenance. He
dropped his father's- hand and got
down slowly upon bU knees. Once
more he glanced up at his father. See-
ing no sign of relenting, he put out
his hand slowly, picked up the pipe,
struggled to his feet and. with re-
markably good a!mfc planted the pipe
upon his father's solar plexus. Then,
shouting In mirth, he fled.
