He had been to the lower end of the field and there was a shrewd look on his freckled face. "I'll tell you what.' Yon take the first three rows, Ruth, ami I'll take the next three. There aren't nearly as many weeds In the first three rows," he added magnani mously. "See, my rows are just full of that horrid parsley. I'd rather pull anything in the world than par slejr, wouldn't you?" Ruth admitted that she hated par sley. "We'll pull by three all the way through the field. Huh, it's just as easy! I can pull three at once," Robert boasted. The children had undertaken to weed out the onion bed, and they wee to get ten cents a row. "Oh, I can beat you all to pieces! Just watch the way I do It. Why don't you do the way I do?" "Because it doesn't get the roots out clean," replied Ruth conscien tiously. "It doesn't do any good if you don't get out the roots they'll sprout right up again: besides it dcusen't loosen the ground so the lit tie, onions can grow. You only break off the tops that way." Yes, but what's the difference?" Rabert questioned. "It all looks the same. My rows look as well as yauirs, and it doesn't take me half as long to do them.' "It may look just as well, but it isn't." Ruth persisted firmly. "I'd be ashamed to cheat father." "Bat it isn't cheating. He never safd we were to get out every last one of the roots, and anyhow, I'm not te blame if they break off. We wosL't get done to-day at that rate." "It's cheating whea you make things look better than they really are, and I don't care if I don't ever get done, I'll do them well as far as I go." "Oh well, I'll get ten cents apiece for. my rows just the same as you do," taunted Robert. Anxious to prove his dexterity, he soon passed his sister and was work ing at the other end of the field when Ruth had progressed sufficient ly to see why Robert had been so anxious for her to take the first throe rows. They were considerably longer than any other In the field, and as Robert had passed through on his way from the pasture, of course he knew about it and had taken an unfair advantage. But there was one thing he had not seen he had not gone over the entire field and did not know that the. last three rows, which, counting by threes, would naturally fall to him, had not been worked with the rest of the field, and being nearest theUfence row, were unusually full of gng& and weeds, and that the gcQtind was hard aad full of roots, agpinst which even so dexterous wQg$!er as Robert could make smal helway. He was of a sociable nature and 8J$a tired of working ahead of Ruth aLfetl behind so they could talk. 'StTou see how easy it would be to fcet yon if I wanted to," he boasted gristly, "it would make my. arms to work as you do." "Well, they don't need to ache on qr' account," Ruth retorted hotly, SSfc 31 nt accuse him of cheating X regard to the loag rows, but she ctf&d not help showing her indigna- Gsau She met all his friendly ad vaeeies with cool contempt. "that's the matter, sis?" he ques- ttaaably boldly, flicking her hand wttfc a thorny weed, "Mad?" Tm not mad, Robert Reynolds Tm disgusted," she said with dig nttr. not lifting her head. "Before ra. stoop to anything so small " "Small! How'd you 'spose I knew those three rows were longer than the rest?" Robert tried to defend htmself. "Way, you saw them, of course, Ruth remarked dryly; then, she re fused to talk more. " Tore I'd be mad about a little thin? Uka three rows of onions, B 58 Robert taunted when the silence be came unbearable. "See here, 1 11 bet you haven't got an onion in your row as big as that." "Maybe not," Ruth retorted, "but I soon will have if you don't do a better job of weeding." When they neared the end of the field Robert stood up and looked beaten. He took off his hat and be gan to mop his heated forehead. "Whew! Who knew this was here," and he viewed the weedy rows. "That's what a fellow always geta whem he tries to cheat somebody else," remarked Ruth with the su perior air of one who has been justi fied In rieht doine. "If vou'd been willing to share the long row at the.Pjay w,th other end I might have shared the( pmcott s. hard one at this end with you, but' as it is, I guess I'll just go In and see if the ice cream isn't through freezing." "Oh, don't go and leave me, sis,", he begged. "Anyhow, stay and keep me company. I say I'll give you half on each row if you'll help me out." But Ruth shook her head grand ly. "No, I've worked enough for one day; besides, I'd hate to get more than my share of the money. You'd be sorry when it came pay day." ! No I wouldn't. Honest Injun!"; Robert protested. "I was just fool- ng at the other end, Ruth." j "But I'm not fooling at this end,". Ruth declared firmly. Just then the children's father came through the field sizing up the rows with an ex perienced eye. "Who did the three long rows at the farther end?" he asked quizzi cally. "Uh! huh! I see! Working by three, are you? Drew a lemon at this end, didn't you, son?" Rob ert looked ashamed. "See here, I have an idea." Father Reynolds put his hands in his pockets thought-' fully. "This onion path will have to- be gone over at least twice more. Now I suggest that you each keep on as you have begun; Ruth take the first three rows and so on, through the field. At the end of the season when the onions are pulled I'll give a prize of $5.00 to the one of you whoj can get the best and most onions outj of any single row you have weeded." "But how about those extra long rows, father? That wouldn't be ex actly fair, would it?" "Well, if Ruth did the extra work, it seems that she ought to have the advantage of it. He looked at the children shrewdly. "No, it wouldn't be fair," Ruth de cided liberally. "Of course the long rows would be bound to yield the most. I'd want Robert to have an equal chance. We'll just cut off the ends of the long rows when it comes time to harvest the crop." "All right," father agreed, proud that his little daughter saw things so justly. When it came to the second weed ing Robert saw where Ruth's thor ough work gave her the advantage of him. The weeds that had not been thoroughly pulled but had been broken off at the surface, lost no time in springing up again, and in a few days were almost as riotous as ever. Their strong roots doubled themselves in vigor, and when it came to a second pulling Robert found it almost impossible to get them out of the ground, and besides, they had starved and crowded the onions that he saw with alarm that they were only half the size of those in Ruth's rows. In trying to get out the weeds he loosened many of the small onions, too, and was oblig ed to set them back, though he felt sure they would wither and die. He worked diligently to retrieve his mistake, but in spite of the fact that the grateful onions did their best to show that they appreciated his efforts, those in the well weeded rows had so much the start of them that they could not catch up, though they swelled their silver skins to the very utmost. "It isn't the way things look on the top so much as the way they feel down under, that counts," Fath er Reynolds explained, as he gave Ruth her merited five dollars. "Good, conscientious work will always tell, even if it doesn't show from the sur face. It isn't the fact of things look ing right, but of their being right, that gives us an easy conscience and makes as know that things are going to work out right in the end. No matter how much we think we've fooled folks, it always turned out that we've fooled ourselves the worst." And Robert hung his head for he could not, help admitting that at least it had worked out that way in his case. Exchange. Er eriaatlng Fame. "We must go to Stratford." "What's the use.
