sip. At this season of the year. In our
towns of moderate size nnd ambition,
where apartment houses have not yet
condensed and at the same time
sequestered the population, one may
secure visual command of back yard
beyond back yard, both up nnd down
the street; especially If one takes the
trouble to sit for nn hour or so, dully,
upon the top of n high board fence at
about the middle of a block.
Of course nn adult who followed
such a course would he thought pe-
culiar; no doubt he would he subject
to undesirable comment, nnd presently
might he called upon to parry severe
If, Indeed, not hostile inquiries; hut
boys are considered so inexplicable
thnt they have gnthered for them-
selves any privileges denied their
parents and elders; and a boy can do
such a thing as this to his full content,
without anybody's thinking about It at
all. So It was flint Herhert Illings-
worth Atwater, Jr., aged thirteen nnd
a few months, sat for a considerable
time upon such a fence, after school
hours, every afternoon of the last week
In October; and only one person par-
ticularly observed him or was stimu-
lated to any mental activity by bis
procedure. Even at that, this person
was nlTiH’ted only because she was
Herbert’s relative, nnd of an age sym-
pnibetle to his—and of a sex antipa-
thetic.
In spite of the fact thnt Herbert II-
lingsworth Atwater, Jr., thus seriously
disporting himself on his father's back
fence, attracted only this audience of
one (and she hostile at a rather dis-
tant window) his bebavler really
should have been considered piqunnt-
ly Interesting by anybody. After climb-
ing to the top of the fence he would
produce from Interior pockets a small
memorandum book and a pencil; sel-
dom putting these implements to im-
mediate use. His expression was
gravely alert, his manner more than
businesslike; yet nobody could have
failed to comprehend thnt he was en-
joying himself, especially when his at-
titude became tense—as at times it
certainly did. Then he would rise, bal-
ancing himself at adroit ease, his feet
aligned one before the other on the
inner rail, a foot below the top of the
hoards, and with eyes dramatically
shielded beneath a scoutish palm, he
would gaze sternly in the direction of
some object or motion which had at-
tracted tils attention; and then, having
satisfied himself of something or other,
he would sit again and decisively en-
ter a note In ills memorandum book.
He was not always alone; he was
frequently joined by a friend, male,
and, though shorter than Herbert,
quite as old; and this companion was
inspired, It seemed, by motives pre-
cisely similar to those from which
sprang Herbert’s own actions. Like
Herbert, he would sit upon the top of
the high fence, usually at a little dis-
tance from him; like Herhert he
would rise at Intervals, for the better
study of something this side of the
horizon; then, also concluding like
Herbert, he would sit again and write
firmly In a little notebook. And sel-
dom in the history of the world have
any sessions been Invested by the par-
ticipants with so Intentional an ap-
pearance of Importance.
That was what most Injured their
lone observer at the somewhat distant
back window, upstairs at her own
place of residence; she found their im-
portance almost Impossible to bear
without screaming. Her provocation
was great; the Important Importance
of Herbert nnd his friend, impressive-
ly maneuvering upon their fence, was
so extreme ns to be all too plainly vis-
ible across four Intervening broad
back yards; in fact, there was almost
reason to sjspect thnt the two per-
formers were aware of their audience
nnd even of her goaded condition; and
that they sometimes deliberately in-
creased the outrngeousness of thpjr
importance because they knew she
was watching them. And upon the
Saturday of that week, when the note-
book writers were upon the fence at
Intervals throughout the afternoon,
Florence Atwater’s fascinated Indigna-
tion became vocal.
“Vile things!” she said.
Her mother, sewing beside another
window of the room, looked up In
qulrlngly.
"What are. Florence?”
“Cousin Herhert und Ibat nnsty lit
lie Henry Hooter."
"Are >»u watehlng them again?"
her mother asked.
"Yea, I am," said Florence, tartly
"Not because I care to, hut merely
to amuse myself at their expense."
Mrs. Atwater munuured deprecat-
Ingly, "Couldn't you find some other
way to aniline yourself, Florence?"
"I don't call this amusement," the
Inconsistent girl responded, not with-
out chagrin, "Think I’d upend all my
days statin' at Herbert Illlngsworth
Atwater, Junior and that nasty little
Henry Hooter, and call It amusement?"
“Then why do you do It?"
“Why do I do what, mama?" Flor-
ence Inquired ns If In despair of Mrs.
Atwater’s ever learning to put things
clearly.
“Why do you ’spend all your days’
watching them? You don’t seem able
to kyep away from the window, and
It appears to make you Irrltuhle. I
should tldnk If they wouldn’t let you
play with lliem you’d be too proud—
"Oh. good benvens, muffin !’’
"Don't use expressions like that,
Florence, please,"
“Well," said Florence, “1 got to use
some expression when you accuse me
of wantin' to ’play' with those two vile
things! My goodness mercy, mama. 1
don't want to ‘play’ with ’em! I’m
more thnn four years old, 1 guess
though you don't ever seem willing to
give me credit for It. I don’t haf to
■play’ all the time, ninmn; and, any
way. Herbert and that nasty little
Henry Router aren’t playing, either.
"Aren’t they?" Mrs. Atwater in
quired. "1 thought the other day you
said you wanted them to let you piny

tor, or something like that, with them,
and they were rude and told you to go
away. Wasn’t that It?”
Florence sighed. "No, mama, it
cert'nly wasn’t."
“They weren’t rude to you?”
“Yes, they cert’nly were!”
“Well, then—”
“Mama, can’t you understand?"
Florence turned from the window to
beseech Mrs. Atwater's concentration
upon the matter. "It isn't ‘playing!’
I didn’t want to ‘play’ being a report-
er; they ain’t ‘playing’—”
“Aren’t playing, Florence.”
“Yes’m. They're not. Herbert’s
got a real printing press; Uncle Jo-
seph gave it to him. It’s a real one,
mama, can’t you understand?"
“I’ll try,” said Mrs. Atwater. “You
mustn’t get so excited ubout it, Flor-
ence.”
“I’m not!” Florence turned vehe-
mently. “I guess it’d take more than
those two vile things and their old
printin’ press to get me excited! I
don’t care what they do; It's far less
than nothing to me! All I wish is
they’d fall off the fence and breuk
their vile ole necks!”
With this manifestation of imper-
sonal calmness, she turned again to
the window; but her mother protest-
ed. “Do find something else to amuse
you, Florence; and quit watching
those foolish hoys; you mustn’t let
them upset you so by their playing.”
Florence moaned. “They don’t ‘up-
set’ me. mama! They have,no effect
on me by the slightest degree! And I
told you. mama, they're not ‘playing.’”
“Then what are they doing?”
“Well, they’re having a newspaper.
They got the printing press and Itn
office in Herbert’s ole stable, and ev-
erythii c. They got somebody to give
'em some ole banisters and a railing
from a house that was torn down
somewheres, and then they got It stuck-
up in the stable loft, so it runs across
with a kind of a gate In the middle of
these banisters, and on one side is
the printing press, and the other side
they got a desk from that misty little
Henry Rooter’* mother1! attic; and a
tuhle and some ehulr*. and a map on
the wall; and that'* their newspaper
office. They go out and look for w hat'*
the new a, and write It down in Ink;
and then they go through the gate to
tlie other aide of the railing where the
printing press Is, und print It for their
newspaper.”
“Rut what do they do on the fence
so ■ much?"
"That's where they go to watch
what the news Is.” Florence explained
morosely. “They think they’re ho
grand, Hitt In* up there, pokin' around.
They go other places, too; and they
ask people. That’s all they said 1
could Is*!" Here the lady'H bitterness
been me strongly Intensified. "They
said, maybe I could be one o’ the ones
they asked If I knew anything, some-
times. |f they happen to think of It! I
Just respect fly told ’em I’d decline to
wl|<e my oldest shoes on 'em to save
their lives!"
Mrs. Atwater sighed, "You mustn't
use siicli expressions, Florence."
"1 don't see why not," the daughter
objected. ‘They're a lot more refined
than the expressions they used on
me!”
"Then I’m very glad you didn't play
with them.”
Rut at tills, Florence once more
gave way to filial despair. "Minna,
you Just can't see through anything!
I've said anyhow fifty times they ain't
—aren’t playing! They’re gelling up a
real newspaper, and people buy It,
and everything. They have been all
over this part of town und got every
aunt and uncle they have, besides their
own fathers and mothers, and some
people In the neighborhood, nnd Kitty
Silver and two or three other colored
people besides, that work for families
they know. They’re going to charge
twenty-five cents a year, collect-ln ad-
vance because they want the money
first; and even papa gave ’em a quar-
ter last night; he told me so."
“How often do they publish their
paper, Florence?” Mrs. Atwater In-
quired somewhat absently, having re-
sumed tier sewing.
“Every week; and they’re goln’ to
have the first one a week from to-
day."
"What do they call It?”
The North End Dally Oriole. It’s
the silliest name I ever heard for a
newspaper; and I told ’em so. I told
'em what I thought of It. I guess!’’
"Was that the reason?” Mrs. At-
water asked.
Was-It what reason, mama?”
“Was It the reason they wouldn't
let you be a reporter with them?"
“Pooh!" Florence exclaimed airily.
“I didn’t want anything to do with
their ole paper. But unyway I didn’t
make fun o’ their callin’ It the North
End Daily Oriole till nfter they said
I couldn't he in It. Then I did, you
t»et!’’
“Florence, don't sny—”
“Mama, I got to say somep’m! Well,
I told ’em I wouldn’t be In their ole
paper If they begged me on their bent-
ed knees; and I said If they begged
me a thousand years I wouldn’t he
in any paper with such a crazy name;
and I wouldn’t tell 'enl any news If
I knew the President of the United
States had the scarlet fever I I Just
politely informed ’em they could say
what they liked If they was dying; I
declined so much as wipe the oldest
shoes I got on ’em!”
“But why wouldn’t they let you be
on the pnper?” her mother insisted.
Upon this Florence became analyti-
cal. "Just so's they could act so im-
portant!" And she addded, ns a con-
sequence: “They ought to be arrest-
ed.”
Mrs. Atwater murmured absently,
hut forbore to press her Inquiry; and
Florence was silent, In a brooding
mood. The Journalists upon the fence
had disappeared from view, during the
conversation with her mother; and
presently she sighed and quietly • left
the room. She went to her own apart-1
ment, where, at a small and rather
battered little white desk, after a pe-
riod of earnest reverie, she took up
a pen, wet the point In purple ink, and
without any great effort or any criti-
cal delayings, produced a poem.
